Nehemiah 6-7
Maori Bible
6 A, no te rongonga o Hanaparata, o Topia, o Keheme Arapi, o era atu o o matou hoariri, kua hanga e ahau te taiepa, kahore hoki he wahi pakaru i mahue: kahore ano ia kia oti noa i ahau nga tatau te whakatu ki nga kuwaha:
2 Na ka unga tangata mai a Hanaparata raua ko Keheme ki ahau, ka mea, Haere mai, tatou ka runanga ki tetahi o nga pa ririki i te mania i Ono. Otiia i whakaaro raua ki te mahi kino ki ahau.
3 Na ka unga tangata ahau ki a raua hei ki atu, He nui te mahi e mahi nei ahau; e kore e ahei kia heke atu. Kia whakamutua hei aha te mahi? ka whakarerea nei hoki e ahau, ki te heke atu ahau ki a korua.
4 Na e wha a raua tononga tangata mai ki ahau, ko taua tikanga ano; heoi whakahokia ana e ahau ko aua kupu ra ano.
5 Katahi a Hanaparata ka unga mai i tana tangata ki ahau, ko te rima o nga ngarenga mai, ko taua tikanga ano, he pukapuka tuwhera i tona ringa.
6 Ko te mea tenei tuhituhia ki reira, Kua paku te rongo ki nga tauiwi, e ki ana ano hoki a Kahamu, tenei koutou ko nga Hurai te mea nei kia whakakeke: koia i hanga ai e koe te taiepa; a e mea ana koe ko koe hei kingi mo ratou; ko ta nga korero hoki tenei.
7 Kua whakaturia ano e koe etahi poropiti hei karanga mou ki Hiruharama, hei ki, Kua whai kingi a Hura. Na ka whakaaturia enei kupu ki te kingi. Heoi, haere mai, kia korerorero taua.
8 Katahi ahau ka unga tangata ki a ia, hei ki atu, Ehara kau enei mea e korero nei koe; he mea tito noa hoki na tou ngakau ake.
9 Ko ta ratou katoa hoki, he whakawehi i a matou; i mea ratou, Tera o ratou ringa e whakawarea ki te mahi, e kore ai e mahia. Tena, e te Atua, whakakahangia oku ringa.
10 Katahi ahau ka haere ki te whare o Hemaia tama a Teraia tama a Mehetapeere, he mea tutaki hoki ia ki roto; a ka mea ia, Me runanga tatou ki te whare o te Atua, ki roto ki te temepara, me tutaki hoki e tatou nga tatau o te temepara; tera hoki rat ou e haere mai ki te patu i a koe; ina, ko a te po ratou haere mai ai ki te patu i a koe.
11 Na ka mea ahau, Me oma ranei te tangata penei i ahau nei? ko wai te tangata o toku rite e haere ki roto ki te temepara kia ora ai? E kore ahau e haere ki roto.
12 Na ka mahara ahau ehara ia i te mea unga mai na te Atua; heoi hei he moku tana kupu i poropiti ai: he mea utu hoki ia na Topia raua ko Hanaparata.
13 I utua ai ia, kia wehi ai ahau, kia mahi pera a ka hara; kia whai mea ai ratou hei whakaingoa kino, hei tawai ma ratou ki ahau.
14 Kia mahara, e toku Atua, ki a Topia raua ko Hanaparata, ki enei mahi a raua, ki a Noaria poropiti wahine, ki era atu ano o nga poropiti i mea nei ki te whakawehi i ahau.
15 Heoi kua oti te taiepa i te rua tekau ma rima o nga ra o te marama o Eruru; e rima tekau ma rua nga ra.
16 A, i te rongonga o o matou hoariri katoa, i taua mea, ka wehi nga tauiwi katoa i tetahi taha o matou, i tetahi taha, a ko te tino hokinga iho o o ratou whakaaro; i kite hoki ratou he mea mahi tenei mahi e to matou Atua.
17 He tini ano nga pukapuka a nga rangatira o Hura i aua ra i tae ki a Topia, me a Topia hoki i tae ki a ratou.
18 He tokomaha hoki o Hura i oati ki a ia, he hunaonga hoki ia na Hekania tama a Araha; i tango ano tana tama a Iehohanana i te tamahine a Mehurama tama a Perekia hei wahine.
19 I korerotia ano e ratou ana mahi pai ki toku aroaro: i kawea ano e ratou aku kupu ki a ia. Heoi tukua mai ana e Topia etahi pukapuka hei whakawehi i ahau.
7 Nawai a kua oti te taiepa te hanga, kua whakaturia nga tatau, kua whakaritea ano nga kaitiaki kuwaha, nga kaiwaiata, me nga Riwaiti.
2 Na ka tukua e ahau nga tikanga mo Hiruharama ki toku teina, ki a Hanani raua ko Hanania rangatira o te whare rangatira: he tangata pono hoki ia, a nui atu i to te tokomaha tona wehi ki te Atua.
3 I ki atu ahau ki a raua, Kaua e whakatuwheratia nga kuwaha o Hiruharama, kia mahana ra ano te ra; i a raua e tu ana, e tiaki ana, me tutaki e raua nga tatau, ka whakau hoki. Me whakatu ano he kaitiaki i roto i nga tangata o Hiruharama, ki tana wa hi e tiaki ai, ki te ritenga o tona whare, o tona whare.
4 Na he wharahi, he nui te pa, he torutoru ia nga tangata o roto; kahore hoki nga whare kia hanga.
5 Na ka homai e toku Atua ki roto ki toku ngakau kia huihuia nga rangatira, me nga tangata rarahi, me te iwi, kia whakapapa ai ratou. I kitea hoki e ahau te pukapuka whakapapa o te hunga i haere mai i te timatanga; i kitea ano kua tuhituhia ki roto,
6 Ko nga tama enei o te kawanatanga i haere mai i te whakarau, no te hunga i whakahekea, no era i whakahekea atu e Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona, a hoki ana ki Hiruharama, ki Hura; ki tona pa, ki tona pa;

Further Opposition to the Rebuilding
6 When word came to Sanballat, Tobiah,(A) Geshem(B) the Arab and the rest of our enemies that I had rebuilt the wall and not a gap was left in it—though up to that time I had not set the doors in the gates— 2 Sanballat and Geshem sent me this message: “Come, let us meet together in one of the villages[a] on the plain of Ono.(C)”
But they were scheming to harm me; 3 so I sent messengers to them with this reply: “I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and go down to you?” 4 Four times they sent me the same message, and each time I gave them the same answer.
5 Then, the fifth time, Sanballat(D) sent his aide to me with the same message, and in his hand was an unsealed letter 6 in which was written:
“It is reported among the nations—and Geshem[b](E) says it is true—that you and the Jews are plotting to revolt, and therefore you are building the wall. Moreover, according to these reports you are about to become their king 7 and have even appointed prophets to make this proclamation about you in Jerusalem: ‘There is a king in Judah!’ Now this report will get back to the king; so come, let us meet together.”
8 I sent him this reply: “Nothing like what you are saying is happening; you are just making it up out of your head.”
9 They were all trying to frighten us, thinking, “Their hands will get too weak for the work, and it will not be completed.”
But I prayed, “Now strengthen my hands.”
10 One day I went to the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was shut in at his home. He said, “Let us meet in the house of God, inside the temple(F), and let us close the temple doors, because men are coming to kill you—by night they are coming to kill you.”
11 But I said, “Should a man like me run away? Or should someone like me go into the temple to save his life? I will not go!” 12 I realized that God had not sent him, but that he had prophesied against me(G) because Tobiah and Sanballat(H) had hired him. 13 He had been hired to intimidate me so that I would commit a sin by doing this, and then they would give me a bad name to discredit me.(I)
14 Remember(J) Tobiah and Sanballat,(K) my God, because of what they have done; remember also the prophet(L) Noadiah and how she and the rest of the prophets(M) have been trying to intimidate me. 15 So the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of Elul, in fifty-two days.
Opposition to the Completed Wall
16 When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and lost their self-confidence, because they realized that this work had been done with the help of our God.
17 Also, in those days the nobles of Judah were sending many letters to Tobiah, and replies from Tobiah kept coming to them. 18 For many in Judah were under oath to him, since he was son-in-law to Shekaniah son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam son of Berekiah. 19 Moreover, they kept reporting to me his good deeds and then telling him what I said. And Tobiah sent letters to intimidate me.
7 After the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers,(N) the musicians(O) and the Levites(P) were appointed. 2 I put in charge of Jerusalem my brother Hanani,(Q) along with Hananiah(R) the commander of the citadel,(S) because he was a man of integrity and feared(T) God more than most people do. 3 I said to them, “The gates of Jerusalem are not to be opened until the sun is hot. While the gatekeepers are still on duty, have them shut the doors and bar them. Also appoint residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some near their own houses.”
The List of the Exiles Who Returned(U)
4 Now the city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it,(V) and the houses had not yet been rebuilt. 5 So my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials and the common people for registration by families. I found the genealogical record of those who had been the first to return. This is what I found written there:
6 These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles(W) whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had taken captive (they returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town, 7 in company with Zerubbabel,(X) Joshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum and Baanah):

63 And from among the priests:
| the descendants of |
| Hobaiah, Hakkoz and Barzillai (a man who had married a daughter of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by that name). |
64 These searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean. 65 The governor, therefore, ordered them not to eat any of the most sacred food until there should be a priest ministering with the Urim and Thummim.(AK)
66 The whole company numbered 42,360, 67 besides their 7,337 male and female slaves; and they also had 245 male and female singers. 68 There were 736 horses, 245 mules,[c] 69 435 camels and 6,720 donkeys.
70 Some of the heads of the families contributed to the work. The governor gave to the treasury 1,000 darics[d] of gold, 50 bowls and 530 garments for priests. 71 Some of the heads of the families(AL) gave to the treasury for the work 20,000 darics[e] of gold and 2,200 minas[f] of silver. 72 The total given by the rest of the people was 20,000 darics of gold, 2,000 minas[g] of silver and 67 garments for priests.(AM)
