Nehemiah 6
1 Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left in it; ( though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates; )
A LOHE iho la o Sanebalata, a A me Tobia, a me Gesema no Arabia, a me ke koena o ko makou poe enemi, ua uhau iho la au i ka pa, aole hoi i koe kauwahi ona i wawahiia'i, (aole nae au i kukulu iluna ia manawa i na pani ma na puka; )
2 That Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.
Alaila, hoouna mai la o Sanebalata a me Gesema io'u nei, i mai la, Ea, e halawai pu kakou ma na kulanakauhale o ka papu o Ono. Aka, manao iho la laua e hana ino mai ia'u.
3 And I sent messengers to them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, while I leave it, and come down to you?
A hoouna aku la au io lakou la i mau elele, e olelo aku, He hana nui ka'u e hana nei aole e hiki ia'u ke iho aku: no ke aha la e oki ai ka hana, i ko'u waiho ana ia, a iho aku io oukou la?
4 Yet they sent to me four times in this way; and I answered them after the same manner.
Eha ka lakou hoouna ana mai ia'u e like me keia olelo ana; a pane aku la no hoi au ia lakou e like no me keia olelo ana.
5 Then Sanballat sent his servant to me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;
Alaila hoouna mai la o Sanehalata ia'u i kana kauwa me ka palapala i hoholaia ma kona lima, e like no me kela hana ana, a o ka lima hoi ia;
6 In which was written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words.
A maloko olaila ua palapalaia, Ua lohoia e na lahuikanaka, a na Gasemu no i olelo ae, E ohumu ana oe a me ka Iuda e kipi: no ia mea kou uhau ana i ka pa, i lilo oe i alii no lakou e like me keia mau olelo.
7 And thou hast also appointed prophets to proclaim concerning thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.
A ua hoonoho hoi oe i poe kaula e hai aku ma Ierusalema nou, me ka i ana'ku, He alii ma Iuda: eia hoi, e lohe auanei ke alii e like me keia mau olelo. Nolaila, ea, e kukakuka pu kakou.
8 Then I sent to him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou maketh up them out of thy own heart.
Alaila, hoouna aku la au io na la, i aku la, Aole i hanaia e like me keia mau mea au i olelo mai ai, aka, mai loko mai o kou naau iho kou kuhi ana ia mau mea.
9 For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it may not be done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands.
No ka mea, hoomakau mai lakou a pau ia makou, i ae la, E kuuia'ku ko lakou mau lima mai ka hana aku, i paa ole ia. Aka, ano, e hooikaika mai oe i ko'u mau lima.
10 Afterward I came to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee.
Alaila komo aku la au iloko o ka hale o Semaia ke keiki a Delaia ke keiki a Mehetaheela, ka mea i pani paa ia maloko; a i mai la, E hoakoakoa pu kakou ma ka hale o ke Akua, iwaena konu o ka luakini, a e pani kakou i na puka o ka luakini: no ka mea, e hiki mai auanei lakou o pepehi ia oe; i ka po no e hiki mai ai lakou e pepehi ia oe.
11 And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.
A i aku la au, E hoohee wale anei ke kanaka me au nei? Owai hoi ka mea e like me au nei e komo iloko o ka luakini i ola ia? Aole au e komo.
12 And, lo, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
A ike iho la au, aia hoi, aole i hoouna mai ke Akua ia ia; aka, ua hai ku e mai la oia ia olelo ia'u: no ka mea, ua hoolimalima o Tobia laua o Sanebalata ia ia.
13 Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for a bad report, that they might reproach me.
A no ia mea oia i hoolimalimaia'i, i makau ai au, a hana pela, a hewa, i loaa ia lakou ka olelo hoino, e hoino mai ai ia'u.
14 My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.
E hoomanao oe, e ko'u Akua, ia Tobia a me Sanebalata e like me keia mau hana ana a laua, a ia Noadia hoi, ke kaula wahine, a me na kaula e ae i manao e hoomakau mai ia'u.
15 So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.
A ua paa ka pa i ka la iwakaluakumamalima o Elula, i na la he kanalimakumamalua.
16 And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard of it, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought by our God.
A lohe ko makou poe enemi a pau, a ike hoi na lahuikanaka a pau a puni makou, kulou loa iho la ko lakou maka ilalo; no ka mea, ike lakou, ua hanaia keia hana e ko makou Akua.
17 Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came to them.
Eia hoi, ia mau la, hoomahuahua iho la ka poe kaukaualii o Iuda i na palapala a lakou i hoouka aku ai io Tobia la, a hiki mai la hoi ka Tobia io lakou la.
18 For there were many in Judah sworn to him, because he was the son in law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.
No ka mea, he nui ka poe ma Iuda i hoohikiia nona, no ka mea, he hunonakane no ia no Sekania ke keiki a Ara; a ua lawe hoi o Iohanana kana keiki i ke kaikamahine a Mesulama ke keiki a Berekia.
19 Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
Eia hoi, olelo mai la lakou imua o'u ma na mea maikai ona, a hai aku la hoi lakou i ka'u mau mea ia ia. A hoouna mai o Tobia i na palapala e hoomakau mai ia'u.
