Neemi 4
Bib La · Kreyòl Ayisyen
1 Lè Sanbala vin konnen nou menm jwif yo nou t'ap rebati miray ranpa a, li fache, li move. 2 Li konmanse pase nou nan betiz. Li t'ap di devan moun pa l' yo ak devan sòlda lame peyi Samari a: -Kisa jwif yo konprann y'ap fè la a? Yo ta renmen rebati lavil la. Yo konprann avèk tout bèt y'ap ofri pou touye yo, nan yon jou yo pral fini? Yo mete nan tèt yo avèk demoli ki fin tounen pousyè ak sann dife yo ka fè wòch pou rebati lavil la. 3 Tobija, moun peyi Amon an, te kanpe bò kote Sanbala. Li t'ap di: -Anhan! Y'ap rebati! Kite yon chat mawon vole sou miray wòch yo a, sa kont pou jete l' atè! 4 Lè sa a, mwen menm, Neemi, mwen lapriyè Bondye. Mwen di l': -O Bondye papa nou! Tande jan y'ap pase nou nan betiz! Sa yo ta renmen wè rive nou an, se sa ki pou rive yo! Se yo ki pou wont! Se pou lènmi vin fè yo prizonye epi pou li depòte yo tout nan yon lòt peyi. 5 Pa padonnen sa yo fè ki mal. Pa janm bliye peche yo fè a, paske yo t'ap pale moun ki t'ap rebati lavil ou a mal. 6 Se konsa, nou t'ap rebati ranpa a. Anvan lontan, ranpa a te gen tan rive nan mwatye wotè, paske pèp la te soti pou l' te fè travay la. 7 Lè Sanbala ak Tobija ansanm ak moun Arabi yo, moun Amon yo ak moun Achdòd yo tande travay reparasyon miray ranpa lavil Jerizalèm yo t'ap mache, epi twou ki te nan miray yo te konmanse bouche, yo fè gwo kòlè, yo fache. 8 Yo mete tèt yo ansanm pou yo vin atake lavil Jerizalèm, pou yo bay pwoblèm. 9 Men, nou lapriyè Bondye nou an, epi nou mete moun ap veye lajounen kou lannwit, pou pwoteje nou. 10 Men, moun peyi Jida yo t'ap plede di: -Nou fin fèb nan pote chay! Gen twòp vye ranblè pou n' netwaye! Nou p'ap janm fin rebati miray sa a! 11 Lènmi nou yo menm, bò pa yo, t'ap di: -San yo pa konnen, san yo pa wè anyen, n'ap gen tan nan mitan yo. N'ap masakre yo, n'ap fè travay la sispann. 12 Men, chak fwa lènmi nou yo moute vin atake nou, jwif ki t'ap viv nan mitan yo te vin avèti nou. Konsa konsa, an dis fwa. 13 Lè konsa, mwen ranje pèp la dèyè ranpa a, chak fanmi apa, avèk nepe yo, frenn yo ak banza yo. Mwen mete yo kote miray la pa t' ankò fini an. 14 Lè m' wè pèp la te gen kè sote, mwen leve, mwen pale ak chèf yo ak majistra yo ak tout rès pèp la, mwen di yo: -Nou pa bezwen pè moun sa yo! Chonje jan Seyè a gen pouvwa, jan li fè moun pè l'. Ann goumen pou moun menm ras ak nou yo, pou pitit fi nou yo, pou pitit gason nou yo, pou madanm nou yo ak kay nou yo. 15 Lè lènmi nou yo wè nou te konnen sa yo t'ap konplote a, yo vin konprann Bondye te soti pou gate plan yo. Apre sa, nou tounen al travay nan miray ranpa a, chak moun bò pa yo. 16 Depi lè sa a, mwatye nan gason yo al nan travay, lòt mwatye a t'ap veye avèk frenn yo, pwotèj pou bra yo, banza yo ak gwo plak fè sou lestonmak yo pou pwoteje yo. Tout chèf yo te la dèyè pèp Jida a 17 ki t'ap rebati ranpa a. Tout moun ki t'ap bwote materyo te gen zam tou. Yo t'ap travay ak yon men, nan lòt men an yo te kenbe zam yo. 18 Moun ki t'ap travay yo menm te toujou gen yon nepe pase nan ren yo. Nèg ki te konn kònen klewon an te toujou bò kote m'. 19 Mwen di chèf yo, majistra yo ansanm ak tout rès pèp la: -Chantye a se yon gwo chantye. Travay la gaye, kifè nou yonn pa pre lòt sou ranpa a. 20 Depi nou tande klewon an bay siyal la, n'a kouri vin sanble bò kote m'. Bondye nou an va goumen pou nou. 21 Se konsa, chak jou, depi bajou kase jouk zetwal parèt nan syèl la, mwatye nan nou t'ap mennen travay la sou ranpa a, lòt mwatye a t'ap veye avèk zam yo nan men yo. 22 Nan menm epòk la, mwen pale ak pèp la. Mwen di yo konsa: -Se pou tout moun rete pase nwit lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak domestik yo. Konsa, n'a pase tout nwit la ap veye. Lajounen, n'a travay. 23 Se konsa, lannwit, nou pa janm wete rad sou nou, ni mwen, ni frè parèy mwen yo, ni domestik nou yo, ni gad kò m' yo. Nou tout nou te gen zam nou bò kote nou.

Neemi 4:1
Ne 4:1-6. While the Enemies Scoff, Nehemiah Prays to God, and Continues the Work.
1. when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth--The Samaritan faction showed their bitter animosity to the Jews on discovering the systematic design of refortifying Jerusalem. Their opposition was confined at first to scoffs and insults, in heaping which the governors made themselves conspicuous, and circulated all sorts of disparaging reflections that might increase the feelings of hatred and contempt for them in their own party. The weakness of the Jews in respect of wealth and numbers, the absurdity of their purpose apparently to reconstruct the walls and celebrate the feast of dedication in one day, the idea of raising the walls on their old foundations, as well as using the charred and mouldering debris of the ruins as the materials for the restored buildings, and the hope of such a parapet as they could raise being capable of serving as a fortress of defense--these all afforded fertile subjects of hostile ridicule.
Neemi 4:3
3. if a fox go up--The foxes were mentioned because they were known to infest in great numbers the ruined and desolate places in the mount and city of Zion (La 5:18).
Neemi 4:4-5
4-5. Hear, O our God; for we are despised--The imprecations invoked here may seem harsh, cruel, and vindictive; but it must be remembered that Nehemiah and his friends regarded those Samaritan leaders as enemies to the cause of God and His people, and therefore as deserving to be visited with heavy judgments. The prayer, therefore, is to be considered as emanating from hearts in which neither hatred, revenge, nor any inferior passion, but a pious and patriotic zeal for the glory of God and the success of His cause, held the ascendant sway.
Neemi 4:6
6. all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof--The whole circuit of the wall had been distributed in sections to various companies of the people, and was completed to the half of the intended height.
Neemi 4:7-21
Ne 4:7-23. He Sets a Watch.
7-21. But ... when Sanballat ... heard that the walls ... were made up, and ... the breaches ... stopped--The rapid progress of the fortifications, despite all their predictions to the contrary, goaded the Samaritans to frenzy. So they, dreading danger from the growing greatness of the Jews, formed a conspiracy to surprise them, demolish their works, and disperse or intimidate the builders. The plot being discovered, Nehemiah adopted the most energetic measures for ensuring the common safety, as well as the uninterrupted building of the walls. Hitherto the governor, for the sake of despatch, had set all his attendants and guards on the work--now half of them were withdrawn to be constantly in arms. The workmen labored with a trowel in one hand and a sword in the other; and as, in so large a circuit, they were far removed from each other, Nehemiah (who was night and day on the spot, and, by his pious exhortations and example, animated the minds of his people) kept a trumpeter by his side, so that, on any intelligence of a surprise being brought to him, an alarm might be immediately sounded, and assistance rendered to the most distant detachment of their brethren. By these vigilant precautions, the counsels of the enemy were defeated, and the work was carried on apace. God, when He has important public work to do, never fails to raise up instruments for accomplishing it, and in the person of Nehemiah, who, to great natural acuteness and energy added fervent piety and heroic devotion, He provided a leader, whose high qualities fitted him for the demands of the crisis. Nehemiah's vigilance anticipated every difficulty, his prudent measures defeated every obstruction, and with astonishing rapidity this Jerusalem was made again "a city fortified."
