Nehemiah 4
1 And it came to pass that when Sanballat heard that we built the wall, he was angry and very indignant, and mocked the Jews.
И бысть егда услыша Санаваллат, яко мы созидаем стены, и зло ему вменися, и разгневася зело, и посмеяшеся Иудеом,
2 And he spoke before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? shall they be permitted to go on? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they finish in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, when they are burned?
и рече пред братиею своею, иже бяху сила Соморов, и рече: что Иудее сии созидают свой град? Еда жрети будут? Или возмогут? Или днесь изцелят камение, повнегда быти им в прах земли сожженным?
3 And Tobijah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox went up, it would break down their stone wall. —
И Товиа Амманитянин близ его прииде и рече им: еда пожрут, или ясти имут на месте своем? Не взыдет ли лисица и разорит стену каменей их?
4 Hear, our God, for we are despised, and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in a land of captivity!
И рече Неемиа: услыши, Боже наш, яко сотворени есмы в посмеяние,
5 And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee; for they have provoked the builders.
и обрати поношение их на главу их, и даждь их в посмеяние в землю пленения,
6 But we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together to the half thereof; for the people had a mind to work.
и не покрый беззакония их.
7 And it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobijah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the walls of Jerusalem were being repaired, that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,
Бысть же егда услыша Санаваллат и Товиа, и Аравляне и Амманите, яко взыде отрасль стен Иерусалимских, зане начаша разселины заграждати, и зло им явися зело.
8 and conspired all of them together to come to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
И собрашася вси вкупе, да приидут и ополчатся на Иерусалим и разорят его.
9 Then we prayed to our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
И молихомся ко Богу нашему и поставихом стражы на стене противу их день и нощь от лица их.
10 And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens faileth, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build at the wall.
Рече же Иуда: истомлена есть сила (от) враг, и земля многа есть, и мы не можем созидати стены.
11 And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come into the midst of them and kill them, and put an end to the work.
И рекоша оскорбляющии нас: не познают и не увидят, дондеже приидем посреде их и убием их, и престати сотворим делу.
12 And it came to pass that when the Jews that dwelt by them came and told us so ten times, from all the places whence they returned to us,
И бысть егда приидоша Иудее, иже обитаху близ их, и реша нам: восходят от всех язык на ны.
13 I set in the lower places behind the wall in exposed places, I even set the people, according to their families, with their swords, their spears and their bows.
И поставих в нижайших местех созади стен в закровении, и поставих люди по племеном с мечи их и с сулицами их и с луками.
14 And I looked, and rose up, and said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not afraid of them: remember the Lord who is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your houses.
И видех, и востах, и рекох ко честным и к воеводам и ко прочым людем: не убойтеся от лица их, помяните Господа Бога нашего великаго и страшнаго, и ополчитеся за братию вашу, за сыны вашя и дщери вашя, жены вашя и домы вашя.
15 And it came to pass that when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and that God had defeated their counsel, we returned all of us to the wall, every one to his work.
Бысть же егда услышаша врази наши, яко ведомо бысть нам, и разори Бог совет их: и возвратихомся вси мы на стены, кийждо ко делу своему.
16 And from that time forth the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held the spears, and the shields, and the bows, and the corslets; and the captains were behind all the house of Judah.
И бысть от дне того, пол вчиненых делаху дело, и половина их уготована бысть ко брани с сулицами и щитами, и луки и бронями, и началницы созади всего дому Иудина.
17 They that built on the wall, and they that bore burdens, with those that loaded, wrought in the work with one hand, and with the other they held a weapon.
Созидающии стену и носящии бремена со оружием: единою рукою своею творяху дело, а другою держаху мечь.
18 And the builders had every one his sword girded by his side, and built. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.
Созидающым же единому коемуждо мечь бысть опоясан при бедре его, и созидаху, и трубяху трубами близ их.
19 And I said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and extended, and we are scattered upon the wall, one far from another:
И рекох ко честным и ко старейшинам и ко прочым людем: дело велико есть и пространно, и мы разлучени есмы на стене далече кийждо от брата своего:
20 in what place ye hear the sound of the trumpet, thither shall ye assemble to us; our God will fight for us.
на месте идеже услышите глас трубный, тамо тецыте к нам, и Бог наш ополчится о нас.
21 And we laboured in the work; and half of them held the spears from the rising of the dawn till the stars appeared.
И мы быхом творяще дело, и пол нас держаху сулицы от восхода зари утренния даже до восхода звезд.
22 Likewise at the same time I said to the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and [be for] labour in the day.
Во время же то рекох людем: кийждо со отроком своим да пребывает в среде Иерусалима: и будет вам нощь на стражу, а день на делание.
23 And neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard that followed me, none of us put off our garments: every one had his weapon on his right side.
Аз же и братия мои и отроцы и мужие стражи, иже бяху созади мене, не снимахом одеяний наших тамо ни един от нас.
