Nehemiah 6

1 Now it came to pass, when Sanaballat, and Tobias, and Gesam the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had built the wall, and [that] there was no opening left therein; ([but] hitherto I had not set up the doors on the gates; )

A kad èu Sanavalat i Tovija i Gisem Arapin i ostali naši neprijatelji da sam sazidao zid i da nije ostalo u njemu ništa provaljeno, a do tada još ne bijah namjestio krila na vrata,

2 that Sanaballat and Gesam sent to me, saying, Come and let us meet together in the villages in the plain of Ono. But they [were] plotting to do me mischief.

Posla Sanavalat i Gisem k meni i poruèi: hodi da se sastanemo u kom selu u polju Ononskom. A oni mišljahu zlo po me.

3 So I sent messengers to them, saying, I am doing a great work, and I shall not be able to come down, lest the work should cease: as soon as I shall have finished it, I will come down to you.

I poslah k njima glasnike i poruèih: u poslu sam velikom, zato ne mogu doæi. Jer bi stao posao kad bih ga ostavio da doðem k vama.

4 And they sent to me [again] to this effect; and I sent them [word] accordingly.

I slaše tako k meni èetiri puta; i ja im onako odgovorih.

5 Then Sanaballat sent his servant to me with an open letter in his hand.

Tada Sanavalat posla k meni tako peti put slugu svojega s knjigom otvorenom u ruci.

6 And in it was written, It has been reported amongst the Gentiles that you and the Jews are planning to revolt: therefore you are building the wall, and you will be a king to them.

A u njoj pisaše: èuje se po narodima i Gasmuj kaže da se ti i Judejci mislite odmetnuti, zato zidaš zid, i hoæeš da im budeš car, kako se govori,

7 And moreover you has appointed prophets to yourself, that you might dwell in Jerusalem as a king over Juda: and now these words will be reported to the king. Now then, come, let us take counsel together.

I da si postavio proroke da razglašuju za tebe u Jerusalimu i govore: car je u Judeji. A to æe doæi do cara; nego hodi da se dogovorimo.

8 And I sent to him, saying, It has not happened according to these words, [even] as you say, for you frame them falsely out of your heart.

Tada poslah k njemu i poruèih: nije tako kako ti kažeš; nego si sam izmislio.

9 For all were trying to alarm us, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from this work, and it shall not be done. Now therefore I have strengthened my hands.

Jer oni svi šæahu nas uplašiti govoreæi: klonuæe ruke njihove od posla i neæe se svršiti. Zato, Bože, ukrijepi ruke moje.

10 And I came into the house of Semei the son of Dalaia the Son of Metabeel, and he was shut up; and he said, Let us assemble together in the house of God, in the midst of it, and let us shut the doors of it; for they are coming by night to kill you.

Jošte otidoh u kuæu Semaji sinu Dalaje sina Metaveilova, koji se bješe zatvorio, i reèe mi: da otidemo zajedno u dom Božji usred crkve i da zakljuèamo vrata crkvi, jer æe doæi da te ubiju, doæi æe noæu da te ubiju.

11 And I said, Who is the man that shall enter into the house, that he may live?

A ja rekoh: zar æe èovjek kakav sam ja bježati? ili ko bi ovaki kakav sam ja ušao u crkvu da ostane u životu? neæu iæi.

12 And I observed, and, behold, God had not sent him, for the prophecy was a fable [devised] against me:

I razumjeh da ga nije Bog poslao, nego to proroštvo kaza za me, jer ga Tovija i Sanavalat potkupiše.

13 and Tobias and Sanaballat had hired against me a multitude, that I might be frightened, and do this, and sin, and become to them an ill name, that they might reproach me.

Zato bješe potkupljen da me uplaši da onako uèinim i zgriješim da bih se osramotio da me mogu ružiti.

14 Remember, O God, Tobias and Sanaballat, according to these their deeds, and the prophetess Noadia, and the rest of the prophets who tried to alarm me.

Pomeni, Bože moj, Toviju i Sanavalata po ovijem djelima njihovijem, i Noadiju proroèicu i druge proroke koji me šæahu uplašiti.

15 So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of the [month] Elul, in fifty-two days.

I tako dovrši se zid dvadeset petoga dana mjeseca Elula za pedeset i dva dana.

16 And it came to pass, when all our enemies heard [of it], that all the nations round about us feared, and great alarm fell upon them, and they knew that it was of our God that this work should be finished.

I kad èuše svi neprijatelji naši i vidješe svi narodi koji bijahu oko nas, uplašiše se vrlo, jer poznaše da je Bog naš uèinio to djelo.

17 And in those days letters came to Tobias from many nobles of Juda, and those of Tobias came to them.

I u one dane mnogi glavari Judejski slahu knjige Toviji, i od Tovije njima dolažahu knjige.

18 For many in Juda were bound to him by oath, because he was son-in-law of Sechenias the son of Herae; and Jonan his son had taken the daughter of Mesulam the son of Barachia to wife.

Jer mnogi Judejci bijahu mu se zakleli; jer bješe zet Sehaniji sinu Arahovu, i Joanan sin njegov bješe oženjen kæerju Mesulama sina Varahijina.

19 And they reported his words to me, and carried out my words to him: and Tobias sent letters to terrify me.

I govorahu preda mnom dobro o njemu, i rijeèi moje dokazivahu mu; i Tovija slaše knjige da me uplaši.
