Nehemias 4
1 Og det skete, der Sanballat hørte, at vi byggede Muren, da optændtes hans Vrede, og han blev meget fortørnet, og han bespottede Jøderne.
And it was just when he heard Sanballat that we [were] rebuilding the wall and it burned to him and he was angry greatly and he mocked the Jews.
2 Og han sagde i Paahør af sine Brødre og af Hæren i Samaria, han sagde: Hvad gøre de afmægtige Jøder? skulde man lade dem være? skulde de ofre? skulde de fuldende det paa denne Dag? skulde de lade Stenene leve op af Grusdyngerne, da de ere forbrændte?
And he said - before brothers his and [the] army of Samaria and he said what? [are] the Jews feeble doing ¿ will they restore for themselves ¿ will they offer sacrifices ¿ will they finish in the day ¿ will they restore the stones from [the] heaps of debris and they [are] burned.
3 Og Ammoniten Tobia var Jios ham, og han sagde: Om de end bygge, vil dog en Ræv, om den sprang op, nedrive deres Stenmur.
And Tobiah the Ammonite [was] beside him and he said also [that] which they [are] building if it will go up a fox and it will break down [the] wall of stones their.
4 Hør, vor Gud! at vi ere foragtede, og lad deres Forsmædelse vende tilbage paa deres Hoved, og giv dem hen til Bytte i Fangenskabs Land;
Hear O God our for we are contempt and return reproach their to own head their and give them to plunder in a land of captivity.
5 og skjul ikke deres Misgerning, og lad deres Synd ikke udslettes fra dit Ansigt; thi de have opirret dig lige over for dem, som byggede.
And may not you cover over iniquity their and sin their from to before you may not it be wiped out for they have provoked to anger to before the builders.
6 Men vi byggede Muren, saa at den ganske Mur blev sammenføjet indtil dens halvs Højde; thi Folket havde Hjerte til at gøre det.
And we rebuilt the wall and it was joined together all the wall to middle its and it belonged a heart to the people to work.
7 Og det skete, der Sanballat og Tobia og Araberne og Ammoniterne og Asdoditerne hørte, at Udbedringen havde taget til paa Murene i Jerusalem, og at Revnerne begyndte at lukkes til, da optændtes deres Vrede saare.
And it was just when he heard Sanballat and Tobiah and the Arabs and the Ammonites and the Ashdodites that it had gone up [the] repair of [the] walls of Jerusalem that they had begun the broken down [parts] to be closed and it burned to them exceedingly.
8 Og de gjorde alle et Forbund med hverandre om at komme at stride imod Jerusalem og at gøre en Forstyrrelse deri.
And they conspired all of them together to come to wage war against Jerusalem and to make for it confusion.
9 Men vi bade til vor Gud; og vi stillede Vagt imod dem Dag og Nat over for dem.
And we prayed to God our and we stationed a guard on them by day and night because of them.
10 Da sagde Juda: Lastdragernes Kraft er skrøbelig, og Gruset er meget, og vi kunne ikke bygge paa Muren.
And it said Judah it has failed [the] strength of the burden-bearer[s] and the debris [is] much and we not we will be able to rebuild the wall.
11 Og vore Modstandere sagde: De skulle ikke vide og ikke se det, førend vi komme midt iblandt dem og slaa dem ihjel; og vi ville gøre, at Gerningen skal holde op.
And they said opponents our not they will know and not they will see until that we will come into [the] midst of them and we will kill them and we will put an end to the work.
12 Og det skete, der Jøderne, som boede hos dem, kom og sagde vel ti Gange til os: I, som ere komne fra alle Steder, vender tilbage til os!
And it was just when they came the Jews who were dwelling beside them and they said to us ten times from all the places which you will turn to us.
13 da stillede jeg Folket neden for Stedet, bag om Muren, paa de frie Pladser; og jeg stillede Folket efter Slægter med deres Sværd, deres Spyd og deres Buer.
And I stationed from [the] lower parts of the place from behind of the wall (in the open places *Q(K)*) and I stationed the people to clans with swords their spears their and bows their.
14 Og jeg saa til og rejste mig og sagde til de ypperste og til Forstanderne og til det øvrige Folk: Frygter ikke for deres Ansigt, tænker paa den store og forfærdelige Herre og strider før eders Brødre, eders Sønner og eders Døtre, eders Hustruer og eders Huse!
And I saw and I arose and I said to the nobles and to the officials and to [the] rest of the people may not you be afraid of them [the] Lord great and awesome remember and fight on brothers your sons your and daughters your wives your and houses your.
15 Og det skete, der vore Fjender hørte, at det var os tilkendegivet, og at Gud havde gjort deres Raad til intet, da vendte vi os alle til Muren igen, hver til sin Gerning.
And it was just when they heard enemies our that it was known to us and he had frustrated God purpose their (and we returned *Q(k)*) all of us to the wall each one to work his.
16 Og det skete fra den samme Dag af, at Halvdelen af mine unge Karle udførte Arbejdet, og den anden halve Del af dem holdt baade Spydene, Skjoldene og Buerne og Panserne, og Øversterne stode bag det ganske Judas Hus.
And it was - from the day that half of young men my [were] doing the work and half of them [were] holding and the spears the shields and the bows and the body armor and the commanders [were] behind all [the] house of Judah.
17 De, som byggede paa Muren, og Lastdragerne og de, som læssede paa, udførte med, deres ene Haand Arbejdet, og med den anden holdt de Vaabnet.
Who were rebuilding the wall and the [ones who] were carrying in burden [were] carrying [it] with [the] one hand his doing the work and one [hand] [was] holding the weapon.
18 Og de, som byggede, havde hver sit Sværd bundet ved sine Lænder og byggede saa; og den, som blæste i Trompeten, var hos mig.
And the builders each one sword his [were] girded on hips his and [were] building and the [one who] gave a blast on the ram's horn [was] beside me.
19 Og jeg sagde til de ypperste og til Forstanderne og til det øvrige Folk: Arbejdet er stort og vidtløftigt; men vi ere adspredte paa Murene, den ene langt fra den anden.
And I said to the nobles and to the officials and to [the] rest of the people the work [is] much and extensive and we [are] separate on the wall distant each from brother his.
20 Paa hvilket Sted I høre Trompetens Lyd, samler eder derhen til os; vor Gud skal stride for os.
In [the] place where you will hear [the] sound of the ram's horn there towards you will assemble to us God our he will fight for us.
21 Saa udførte vi Arbejdet, medens Halvdelen af dem holdt paa Spydene, fra Morgenrøden gik op, indtil Stjernerne kom frem.
And we [were] doing the work and half of them [were] keeping hold on spears from when came up the dawn until came out the stars.
22 Ogsaa sagde jeg paa samme Tid til Folket: Hver blive med sin Tjener Natten over midt i Jerusalem, at vi maa have dem om Natten til Vagt og om Dagen til Gerningen.
Also at the time that I said to the people each one and servant his let them spend [the] night in [the] midst of Jerusalem and they will be for us the night a guard and the day work.
23 Men hverken jeg eller mine Brødre eller mine Tjenere eller de Mænd paa Vagten, som vare bag mig, førte os af vore Klæder; hver havde sit Vaaben hos sig og Vand.
And not I and brothers my and servants my and [the] men of the guard who [were] behind me not we [were] stripping off clothes our each one weapon his the water.
