Nehemija 6
1 Kad su Sanbalat, Tobija, Gešem Arapin i ostali naši neprijatelji dočuli da sam obnovio zid i da nije u njemu ostalo pukotine - do toga vremena nisam zapravo bio namjestio krila na vratima -
And it was just when it was heard by Sanballat and Tobiah and by Geshem the Arab and by [the] rest of enemies our that I had rebuilt the wall and not it was left in it a breach also until the time that doors not I had set up in the gates.
2 poručiše mi Sanbalat i Gešem: “Dođi da se sastanemo u Kefiri, u Dolini ononskoj.” Ali su mi oni zlo mislili.
And he sent Sanballat and Geshem to me saying come! so let us meet together at Kephirim in [the] plain of Ono and they [were] planning to do to me harm.
3 Zato sam im poslao glasnike s ovim odgovorom: “Zauzet sam velikim poslom i ne mogu sići: posao bi zastao kad bih ga ostavio da dođem k vama!”
And I sent! to them messengers saying a work great I [am] doing and not I am able to go down why? will it cease the work when I will let drop it and I will go down to you.
4 Četiri su mi puta slali isti poziv i ja sam im odvraćao isti odgovor.
And they sent to me according to the manner this four times and I sent back to them according to the manner this.
5 Tada, peti put, s istom nakanom, posla mi Sanbalat svoga slugu s otvorenim pismom.
And he sent to me Sanballat according to the manner this a time fifth servant his and a letter open [was] in hand his.
6 U njemu je pisalo: “Čuje se u narodima - a Gašmu potvrđuje - da se ti i Židovi spremate na bunu; zato da i gradiš zid i da želiš postati njihovim kraljem, kako vele.
[was] written In it among the nations it has been heard and Gashmu [is] saying you and the Jews [are] planning to rebel there-fore you [are] rebuilding the wall and you [are] about to become of them king according to the words these.
7 I da si postavio proroke da proglase tvoj uspjeh u Jeruzalemu i da kažu: Judeja ima kralja! Sada će ti glasovi stići kralju do ušiju: zato dođi da se posavjetujemo.”
And also prophets you have appointed to proclaim on you in Jerusalem saying a king [is] in Judah and now it will be heard by the king according to the words these and therefore come! so let us take counsel together.
8 Ali sam mu ja odgovorio: “Ništa nije tako kao što tvrdiš; sve je to samo izmišljotina tvoga srca.”
And I sent! to him saying not it has occurred according to the words these which you [are] saying that from heart your you [are] inventing them.
9 Jer su nas oni htjeli uplašiti govoreći: “Klonut će im ruke od posla i neće ga završiti nikada.” A ja sam, naprotiv, ukrijepio ruke svoje!
For all of them [were] making afraid us saying they will drop hands their from the work and not it will be done and therefore strengthen hands my.
10 Pošao sam Šemaji, sinu Delaje, sina Mehetabelova, koji se bijaše zatvorio u svojoj kući. On mi objavi: “Nađimo se u Domu Božjemu, usred Hekala, i zatvorimo vrata Hekala jer će doći da te ubiju. Jest, još noćas doći će da te ubiju!”
And I I went [the] house of Shemaiah [the] son of Delaiah [the] son of Mehetabel and he [was] shut up and he said let us meet to [the] house of God to [the] middle of the temple and let us close [the] doors of the temple for [people are] coming to kill you and night [people are] coming to kill you.
11 A ja odgovorih: “Zar da bježi čovjek kao što sam ja? Koji čovjek, meni sličan, može ući u Hekal i ostati živ? Ne, ja ne idem.”
And I said! ¿ a man like me will he flee and who? [is] like me who he will go into the temple and he will live not I will go.
12 I tada razabrah: nije ga poslao Bog, nego mi je objavio proroštvo, jer su ga Tobija i Sanbalat podmitili,
And I recognized! and there! not God he had sent him for the prophecy he had spoken on me and Tobiah and Sanballat he had hired him.
13 da bih, uplašen, učinio onako te sagriješio. To bi im poslužilo da me ozloglase i da mi se rugaju!
So that [was] hired he so that I may be afraid and I may act thus and I will sin and it will become for them a name bad so that they may reproach me.
14 Sjeti se, Bože moj, Tobije i Sanbalata prema ovim njihovim djelima, a i proročice Noadje i ostalih proroka što me htjedoše uplašiti.
Remember! O God my to Tobiah and to Sanballat according to works his these and also Noadiah the prophetess and to [the] rest of the prophets who they were making afraid me.
15 Zid je završen dvadeset i petog Elula, za pedeset i dva dana.
And it was complete the wall on [day] twenty and five of Elul to fifty and two day[s].
16 A kad su čuli svi naši neprijatelji i vidjeli svi pogani oko nas, bilo je to čudo u očima njihovim, jer su shvatili da je Bog naš učinio to djelo.
And it was just when they heard all enemies our and they were afraid all the nations which [were] around us and they fell exceedingly in own eyes their and they knew that from with God our it had been done the work this.
17 A onih dana mnogi su židovski velikaši često slali svoja pisma Tobiji i mnoga su primali od Tobije.
Also - in the days those [were] multiplying [the] nobles of Judah letters their [which were] going to Tobiah and [those] which [belonged] to Tobiah [were] coming to them.
18 Jer u Judeji bijahu mnogi s njime zakletvom povezani: tÓa bio je u rodu sa Šekanijom, sinom Arahovim, i sinom njegovim Johananom, koji je uzeo za ženu kćer Mešulama, sina Berekjina.
For many [people] in Judah [were] lords of oath to him for [was] a son-in-law he of Shecaniah [the] son of Arah and Jehohanan son his he had taken [the] daughter of Meshullam [the] son of Berekiah.
19 I veličali su preda mnom njegova djela, a njemu prenosili moje riječi. Zato je Tobija i slao pisma da me uplaši.
Also good deeds his they were telling before me and words my they were sending out to him letters he sent Tobiah to make afraid me.
