< نَحَمْيَا 6 >
وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ سَنْبَلَّطُ وَطُوبِيَّا وَجَشَمٌ ٱلْعَرَبِيُّ وَبَقِيَّةُ أَعْدَائِنَا أَنِّي قَدْ بَنَيْتُ ٱلسُّورَ وَلَمْ تَبْقَ فِيهِ ثُغْرَةٌ، عَلَى أَنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ إِلَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ قَدْ أَقَمْتُ مَصَارِيعَ لِلْأَبْوَابِ، | ١ 1 |
And when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had built the wall, and that there were no more breaches therein, (though at that time I had not set vp the doores vpon the gates)
أَرْسَلَ سَنْبَلَّطُ وَجَشَمٌ إِلَيَّ قَائِلَيْنِ: «هَلُمَّ نَجْتَمِعُ مَعًا فِي ٱلْقُرَى فِي بُقْعَةِ أُونُو». وَكَانَا يُفَكِّرَانِ أَنْ يَعْمَلَا بِي شَرًّا. | ٢ 2 |
Then sent Sanballat and Geshem vnto me, saying, Come thou that we may meete together in the villages in the plaine of Ono: and they thought to doe me euill.
فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْهِمَا رُسُلًا قَائِلًا: «إِنِّي أَنَا عَامِلٌ عَمَلًا عَظِيمًا فَلَا أَقْدْرُ أَنْ أَنْزِلَ. لِمَاذَا يَبْطُلُ ٱلْعَمَلُ بَيْنَمَا أَتْرُكُهُ وَأَنْزِلُ إِلَيْكُمَا؟» | ٣ 3 |
Therefore I sent messengers vnto them, saying, I haue a great worke to doe, and I can not come downe: why should the worke cease, whiles I leaue it, and come downe to you?
وَأَرْسَلَا إِلَيَّ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَجَاوَبْتُهُمَا بِمِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْجَوَابِ. | ٤ 4 |
Yet they sent vnto me foure times after this sort. And I answered them after the same maner.
فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ سَنْبَلَّطُ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ مَرَّةً خَامِسَةً مَعَ غُلَامِهِ بِرِسَالَةٍ مَنْشُورَةٍ بِيَدِهِ مَكْتُوبٌ فِيهَا: | ٥ 5 |
Then sent Sanballat his seruant after this sorte vnto me the fift time, with an open letter in his hand,
«قَدْ سُمِعَ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَجَشَمٌ يَقُولُ: إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ وَٱلْيَهُودُ تُفَكِّرُونَ أَنْ تَتَمَرَّدُوا، لِذَلِكَ أَنْتَ تَبْنِي ٱلسُّورَ لِتَكُونَ لَهُمْ مَلِكًا حَسَبَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ. | ٦ 6 |
Wherein was written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu hath sayd it, that thou and the Iewes thinke to rebel, for the which cause thou buildest the wall and thou wilt bee their King according to these wordes.
وَقَدْ أَقَمْتَ أَيْضًا أَنْبِيَاءَ لِيُنَادُوا بِكَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ قَائِلِينَ: فِي يَهُوذَا مَلِكٌ. وَٱلْآنَ يُخْبَرُ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ. فَهَلُمَّ ٱلْآنَ نَتَشَاوَرُ مَعًا». | ٧ 7 |
Thou hast also ordeyned the Prophets to preach of thee at Ierusalem, saying, There is a King in Iudah: and nowe according to these wordes it shall come to the Kings eares: come now therefore, and let vs take counsell together.
فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْهِ قَائِلًا: «لَا يَكُونُ مِثْلُ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ ٱلَّذِي تَقُولُهُ، بَلْ إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مُخْتَلِقُهُ مِنْ قَلْبِكَ». | ٨ 8 |
Then I sent vnto him, saying, It is not done according to these wordes that thou sayest: for thou feynest them of thine owne heart.
لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا جَمِيعًا يُخِيفُونَنَا قَائِلِينَ: «قَدِ ٱرْتَخَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ عَنِ ٱلْعَمَلِ فَلَا يُعْمَلُ».«فَٱلْآنَ يَا إِلَهِي شَدِّدْ يَدَيَّ». | ٩ 9 |
For all they afrayed vs, saying, Their handes shalbe weakened from the worke, and it shall not be done: nowe therefore incourage thou me.
وَدَخَلْتُ بَيْتَ شَمْعِيَا بْنِ دَلَايَا بْنِ مَهِيطَبْئِيلَ وَهُوَ مُغْلَقٌ، فَقَالَ: «لِنَجْتَمِعْ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱللهِ إِلَى وَسَطِ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ وَنُقْفِلْ أَبْوَابَ ٱلْهَيْكَلِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ يَأْتُونَ لِيَقْتُلُوكَ. فِي ٱللَّيْلِ يَأْتُونَ لِيَقْتُلُوكَ». | ١٠ 10 |
And I came to the house of Shemaiah the sonne of Delaiah the sonne of Mehetabeel, and he was shut vp, and he said, Let vs come together into the house of God in the middes of the Temple, and shut the doores of the Temple: for they will come to slay thee: yea, in the night will they come to kill thee.
فَقُلْتُ: «أَرَجُلٌ مِثْلِي يَهْرُبُ؟ وَمَنْ مِثْلِي يَدْخُلُ ٱلْهَيْكَلَ فَيَحْيَا؟ لَا أَدْخُلُ!». | ١١ 11 |
Then I said, Should such a man as I, flee? Who is he, being as I am, that would go into the Temple to liue? I will not goe in.
فَتَحَقَّقْتُ وَهُوَذَا لَمْ يُرْسِلْهُ ٱللهُ لِأَنَّهُ تَكَلَّمَ بِٱلنُّبُوَّةِ عَلَيَّ، وَطُوبِيَّا وَسَنْبَلَّطُ قَدِ ٱسْتَأْجَرَاهُ. | ١٢ 12 |
And loe, I perceiued, that God had not sent him, but that he pronounced this prophecie against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
لِأَجْلِ هَذَا قَدِ ٱسْتُؤْجِرَ لِكَيْ أَخَافَ وَأَفْعَلَ هَكَذَا وَأُخْطِئَ، فَيَكُونَ لَهُمَا خَبَرٌ رَدِيءٌ لِكَيْ يُعَيِّرَانِي. | ١٣ 13 |
Therefore was he hyred, that I might be afrayde, and doe thus, and sinne, and that they might haue an euill report that they might reproche me.
ٱذْكُرْ يَا إِلَهِي طُوبِيَّا وَسَنْبَلَّطَ حَسَبَ أَعْمَالِهِمَا هَذِهِ، وَنُوعَدْيَةَ ٱلنَّبِيَّةَ وَبَاقِيَ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُخِيفُونَنِي. | ١٤ 14 |
My God, remember thou Tobiah, and Sanballat according vnto these their workes, and Noadiah the Prophetesse also, and the rest of the Prophets that would haue put me in feare.
وَكَمِلَ ٱلسُّورُ فِي ٱلْخَامِسِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ أَيْلُولَ، فِي ٱثْنَيْنِ وَخَمْسِينَ يَوْمًا. | ١٥ 15 |
Notwithstanding the wall was finished on the fiue and twentieth day of Elul, in two and fiftie dayes.
وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ كُلُّ أَعْدَائِنَا وَرَأَى جَمِيعُ ٱلْأُمَمِ ٱلَّذِينَ حَوَالَيْنَا، سَقَطُوا كَثِيرًا فِي أَعْيُنِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ، وَعَلِمُوا أَنَّهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ إِلَهِنَا عُمِلَ هَذَا ٱلْعَمَلُ. | ١٦ 16 |
And when all our enemies heard thereof, euen all the heathen that were about vs, they were afraid, and their courage failed them: for they knew, that this worke was wrought by our God.
وَأَيْضًا فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ أَكْثَرَ عُظَمَاءُ يَهُوذَا تَوَارُدَ رَسَائِلِهِمْ عَلَى طُوبِيَّا، وَمِنْ عِنْدِ طُوبِيَّا أَتَتِ ٱلرَّسَائِلُ إِلَيْهِمْ. | ١٧ 17 |
And in these dayes were there many of the princes of Iudah, whose letters went vnto Tobiah, and those of Tobiah came vnto them.
لِأَنَّ كَثِيرِينَ فِي يَهُوذَا كَانُوا أَصْحَابَ حِلْفٍ لَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ صِهْرُ شَكَنْيَا بْنِ آرَحَ، وَيَهُوحَانَانُ ٱبْنُهُ أَخَذَ بِنْتَ مَشُلَّامَ بْنِ بَرَخْيَا. | ١٨ 18 |
For there were many in Iudah, that were sworne vnto him: for he was the sonne in lawe of Shechaniah, the sonne of Arah: and his sonne Iehonathan had the daughter of Meshullam, the sonne of Berechiah.
وَكَانُوا أَيْضًا يُخْبِرُونَ أَمَامِي بِحَسَنَاتِهِ، وَكَانُوا يُبَلِّغُونَ كَلَامِي إِلَيْهِ. وَأَرْسَلَ طُوبِيَّا رَسَائِلَ لِيُخَوِّفَنِي. | ١٩ 19 |
Yea, they spake in his praise before me, and tolde him my wordes, and Tobiah sent letters to put me in feare.
