Nehemiah 6
1 When Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had rebuilt the wall and not a gap was left—though to that time I had not yet installed the doors in the gates—
Un notikās, kad Sanbalats un Tobija un Arābs Gešems un mūsu citi ienaidnieki dzirdēja, ka mēs to mūri bijām uzcēluši un iekš tā caurums neatlikās, (jebšu es līdz šim durvis vēl nebiju iecēlis vārtos),
2 Sanballat and Geshem sent me this message: “Come, let us meet together in one of the villages on the plain of Ono.” But they were planning to harm me.
Tad Sanbalats un Gešems pie manis sūtīja un lika sacīt: nāc, saiesim kopā Onus klajuma ciemos. Bet tie domāja, man ļaunu darīt.
3 So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it to go down to you?”
Un es sūtīju vēstnešus pie tiem un liku sacīt: man liels darbs darāms, ka nevaru nonākt; kāpēc šim darbam būs kavēties, ka es to pamestu un pie jums nonāktu?
4 Four times they sent me the same message, and each time I gave the same reply.
Un tie gan četras reizes pie manis sūtīja ar šo pašu valodu, un es sūtīju pie tiem atpakaļ ar to pašu valodu.
5 The fifth time, Sanballat sent me this same message by his young servant, who had in his hand an unsealed letter
Tad Sanbalats piektā reizē pie manis sūtīja savu puisi tāpat ar neaiztaisītu grāmatu viņa rokā. Iekš tās bija rakstīts:
6 that read: “It is reported among the nations—and Geshem agrees—that you and the Jews are plotting to revolt, and this is why you are building the wall. According to these reports, you are to become their king,
Ļaudis dzird, un Gešems saka, ka tu ar tiem Jūdiem domā atkāpties un tāpēc to mūri uztaisi, un ka tu viņiem gribi būt par ķēniņu, - tā runā, -
7 and you have even appointed prophets in Jerusalem to proclaim on your behalf: ‘There is a king in Judah.’ Soon these rumors will reach the ears of the king. So come, let us confer together.”
Ka tu arī praviešus iecēlis, kas lai izsauc par tevi Jeruzālemē un saka: viņš ir ķēniņš iekš Jūda. Un nu ķēniņš tādu valodu dzirdēs; nāc tad jel un lai mēs kopā sarunājamies.
8 Then I sent him this reply: “There is nothing to these rumors you are spreading; you are inventing them in your own mind.”
Bet es sūtīju pie viņa sacīdams: no tā, ko tu runā, nekas nav noticis; no savas sirds tu to esi izdomājis.
9 For they were all trying to frighten us, saying, “Their hands will be weakened in the work, and it will never be finished.” But now, my God, strengthen my hands.
Jo visi tie mūs baidīja un sacīja: viņu rokām būs no tā darba atstāties, ka tas netop darīts. Un nu, stiprini Tu, (ak Dievs), manas rokas.
10 Later, I went to the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was confined to his house. He said: “Let us meet at the house of God inside the temple. Let us shut the temple doors because they are coming to kill you— by night they are coming to kill you!”
Kad es nu nācu Šemajas namā, - tas bija Delajas, Mehetabeēļa dēla, dēls, (bet viņš bija ieslēdzies), tad viņš sacīja: sanāksim Dieva namā, pašā Dieva nama vidū, un lai mēs Dieva nama durvis aizslēdzam, jo tie nāks, tevi nokaut, pašā naktī tie nāks, tevi nokaut.
11 But I replied, “Should a man like me run away? Should one like me go into the temple to save his own life? I will not go!”
Bet es sacīju: vai tādam vīram, kā es, būs bēgt? Vai tādam, kā es, Dieva namā būs iet, lai paliktu dzīvs? Es neiešu.
12 I realized that God had not sent him, but that he had uttered this prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
Jo redzi, es manīju, ka Dievs viņu nebija sūtījis. Bet viņš runāja šo sludināšanu uz mani, tāpēc ka Tobija un Sanebalats viņu bija derējuši.
13 He had been hired to intimidate me so that I would sin by doing as he suggested, so they could give me a bad name in order to discredit me.
Viņš bija derēts, lai es izbīstos un tā daru un apgrēkojos, ka tie kādu ļaunu slavu atrastu, ar ko mani varētu nievāt.
14 O my God, remember Tobiah and Sanballat for what they have done, and also Noadiah the prophetess and the other prophets who tried to intimidate me.
Piemini, mans Dievs, Tobiju un Sanbalatu pēc šiem darbiem un arī pravieti Noadiju un tos citus praviešus, kas ir meklējuši, mani darīt bailīgu!
15 So the wall was completed in fifty-two days, on the twenty-fifth of Elul.
Tad nu tas mūris tapa pabeigts Elula mēneša divdesmit piektā dienā, piecdesmit divās dienās.
16 When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and disheartened, for they realized that this task had been accomplished by our God.
Un kad visi mūsu ienaidnieki to dzirdēja, tad visi apkārtējie pagāni bijās un viņu drošība zuda, jo tie samanīja, ka šis darbs ar mūsu Dieva palīgu bija padarīts.
17 Also in those days, the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and Tobiah’s letters came back to them.
Tanīs dienās arī daudz virsnieki no Jūda rakstīja grāmatas; tās tapa sūtītas pie Tobijas, un Tobija sūtīja atkal pie tiem.
18 For many in Judah were bound by oath to him, since he was a son-in-law of Shecaniah son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam son of Berechiah.
Jo daudzi iekš Jūda viņam bija zvērējuši, tāpēc ka tas bija Šehanijas, Arahus dēla, znots, un viņa dēls Jehohanans bija apņēmis Mešulama, Bereķijas dēla, meitu.
19 Moreover, these nobles kept reporting to me Tobiah’s good deeds, and they relayed my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to intimidate me.
Tie runāja arīdzan labu par viņu manā priekšā, un manus vārdus tie nonesa pie viņa; tad Tobija sūtīja grāmatas, ka tas mani biedinātu.
