Nehemiah 6
1 Now when word was given to Sanballat and Tobiah and to Geshem the Arabian and to the rest of our haters, that I had done the building of the wall and that there were no more broken places in it (though even then I had not put up the doors in the doorways);
Pripetilo se je torej, ko so Sanbalát, Tobija, Arabec Gešem in ostali izmed naših sovražnikov slišali, da sem zgradil obzidje in da v njem ni ostalo nobene vrzeli (čeprav ob tistem času nisem postavil duri na velika vrata)
2 Sanballat and Geshem sent to me saying, Come, let us have a meeting in one of the little towns in the lowland of Ono. But their purpose was to do me evil.
da sta Sanbalát in Gešem poslala k meni, rekoč: »Pridi, skupaj se srečajmo v eni izmed vasi, na ravnini Onó.« Toda mislila sta mi storiti vragolijo.
3 And I sent men to them saying, I am doing a great work, so that it is not possible for me to come down: is the work to be stopped while I go away from it and come down to you?
K njima sem poslal poslance, rekoč: »Jaz opravljam veliko delo, tako da ne morem priti dol. Zakaj bi delo prenehalo, medtem ko ga zapustim in pridem dol k vama?«
4 And four times they sent to me in this way, and I sent them the same answer.
Vendar sta štirikrat poslala k meni na ta način, jaz pa sem jima odgovoril na isti način.
5 Then Sanballat sent his servant to me a fifth time with an open letter in his hand;
Potem je Sanbalát petič k meni poslal svojega služabnika na podoben način, z odprtim pismom v svoji roki,
6 And in it these words were recorded: It is said among the nations, and Geshem says so, that you and the Jews are hoping to make yourselves free from the king's authority; and that this is why you are building the wall: and they say that it is your purpose to be their king;
v katerem je bilo zapisano: »Med pogani se govori in Gašmu pravi to, da se ti in Judje mislite upreti, kajti zaradi tega razloga gradiš obzidje, da bi lahko postal njihov kralj, glede na te besede.
7 And that you have prophets preaching about you in Jerusalem, and saying, There is a king in Judah: now an account of these things will be sent to the king. So come now, and let us have a discussion.
Določil si tudi preroke, da o tebi oznanjajo v Jeruzalemu, rekoč: › Tam je kralj v Judu.‹ In sedaj bo to sporočeno kralju, glede teh besed. Pridite torej sedaj in skupaj sprejmimo nasvet.«
8 Then I sent to him, saying, No such things as you say are being done, they are only a fiction you have made up yourself.
Potem sem poslal k njemu, rekoč: »Tukaj se niso storile nobene takšne stvari, kot ti praviš, temveč si jih hlinil iz svojega lastnega srca.«
9 For they were hoping to put fear in us, saying, Their hands will become feeble and give up the work so that it may not get done. But now, O God, make my hands strong.
Kajti oni vsi so nas prestrašili, rekoč: »Njihove roke bodo oslabele od dela, da to ne bo končano.« Sedaj torej, oh Bog, okrepi moje roke.
10 And I went to the house of Shemaiah, the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us have a meeting in the house of God, inside the Temple, and let the doors be shut: for they will come to put you to death; truly, in the night they will come to put you to death.
Zatem sem prišel v hišo Šemajája, sinú Delajája, sinú Mehetabéla, ki je bil zaprt. Rekel je: »Skupaj se srečajva v hiši Boga, znotraj templja in zapriva vrata templja, kajti prišli bodo, da te ubijejo. Da, ponoči bodo prišli, da te ubijejo.«
11 And I said, Am I the sort of man to go in flight? what man, in my position, would go into the Temple to keep himself safe? I will not go in.
Rekel sem: »Ali naj bi takšen človek, kakor sem jaz, bežal? In kdo je tam, ki bi kakor sem jaz, šel v tempelj, da reši svoje življenje? Ne bom šel noter.«
12 Then it became clear to me that God had not sent him: he had given this word of a prophet against me himself: and Tobiah and Sanballat had given him money to do so.
Glej, zaznal sem, da ga ni poslal Bog, temveč, da je to prerokbo proglasil zoper mene, kajti najela sta ga Tobija in Sanbalát.
13 For this reason they had given him money, in order that I might be overcome by fear and do what he said and do wrong, and so they would have reason to say evil about me and put shame on me.
Zato je bil najet, da bi bil jaz prestrašen in tako storil in grešil in da bi lahko imela stvar za hudobno poročilo, da bi me lahko grajala.
14 Keep in mind, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat and what they did, and Noadiah, the woman prophet, and the rest of the prophets whose purpose was to put fear into me.
Moj Bog, misli na Tobija in Sanbaláta glede na ta njuna dela in na prerokinjo Noádjo in ostale preroke, ki so me hoteli postaviti v strah.
15 So the wall was complete on the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days.
Tako je bilo obzidje končano petindvajseti dan meseca elúla, v dvainpetdesetih dneh.
16 And when our haters had news of this, all the nations round about us were full of fear and were greatly shamed, for they saw that this work had been done by our God.
Pripetilo se je, da ko so vsi naši sovražniki slišali o tem in so vsi pogani, ki so bili okoli nas, videli te stvari, so bili zelo potrti v svojih lastnih očeh, kajti zaznali so, da je bilo to delo izvršeno od našega Boga.
17 And further, in those days the chiefs of Judah sent a number of letters to Tobiah, and his letters came to them.
Poleg tega so v tistih dneh Judovi plemiči poslali mnogo pisem Tobiju in pisma od Tobija so prihajala k njim.
18 For in Judah there were a number of people who had made an agreement by oath with him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah, the son of Arah; and his son Jehohanan had taken as his wife the daughter of Meshullam, the son of Berechiah.
Kajti v Judu so bili mnogi, ki so mu prisegli, ker je bil zet Aráhovega sina Šehanjája in njegov sin Johanán je vzel hčer Berehjájevega sina Mešuláma.
19 And they said much before me of the good he had done, and gave him accounts of my words. And Tobiah sent letters with the purpose of causing me fear.
Pred menoj so poročali tudi njegova dobra dejanja in mu izrekli moje besede. In Tobija je pošiljal pisma, da me postavi v strah.
