Nehemiah 6
1 And it came to pass, when Sanaballat, and Tobias, and Gossem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left in it, (though at that time I had not set up the doors in the gates, )
А кад чу Санавалат и Товија и Гисем Арапин и остали наши непријатељи да сам сазидао зид и да није остало у њему ништа проваљено, а до тада још не бејах наместио крила на врата,
2 Sanaballat and Gossem Rent to me, saying: Come, and let us make a league together in the villages, in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.
Посла Санавалат и Гисем к мени и поручи: Ходи да се састанемо у коме селу у пољу ононском. А они мишљаху зло по ме.
3 And I sent messengers to them, saying: I am doing a great work, and I cannot come down, lest it be neglected whilst I come, and go down to you.
И послах к њима гласнике и поручих: У послу сам великом, зато не могу доћи. Јер би стао посао кад бих га оставио да дођем к вама.
4 And they sent to me according to this word, four times: and I answered them after the same manner.
И слаше тако к мени четири пута; и ја им онако одговорих.
5 And Sanaballat sent his servant to me the fifth time according to the former word, and he had a letter in his hand written in this manner:
Тада Санавалат посла к мени тако пети пут слугу свог с књигом отвореном у руци.
6 It is reported amongst the Gentiles, and Gossem hath said it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel, and therefore thou buildest the wall, and hast a mind to set thyself king over them: for which end
А у њој писаше: Чује се по народима и Гасмуј каже да се ти и Јудејци мислите одметнути, зато зидаш зид, и хоћеш да им будеш цар, како се говори,
7 Thou hast also set up prophets, to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying: There is a king in Judea. The king will hear of these things: therefore come now, that we may take counsel together.
И да си поставио пророке да разглашују за тебе у Јерусалиму и говоре, цар је у Јудеји. А то ће доћи до цара. Него ходи да се договоримо.
8 And I sent to them, saying: There is no such thing done as thou sayest: but thou feignest these things out of thy own heart.
Тада послах к њему и поручих: Није тако како ти кажеш; него си сам измислио.
9 For all these men thought to frighten us, thinking that our hands would cease from the work, and that we would leave off. Wherefore I strengthened my hands the more:
Јер они сви хтеше нас уплашити говорећи: Клонуће руке њихове од посла и неће се свршити. Зато, Боже, укрепи руке моје.
10 And I went into the house of Samaia the son of Delaia, the son of Metabeel privately. And he said: Let us consult together in the house of God in the midst of the temple: and let us shut the doors of the temple, for they will come to kill thee, and in the night they will come to slay thee.
Још отидох у кућу Симаји, сину Далаје сина Метавеиловог, који се беше затворио, и рече ми: Да отидемо заједно у дом Божји усред цркве и да закључамо врата цркви, јер ће доћи да те убију, доћи ће ноћу да те убију.
11 And I said: Should such a man as I Bee? and who is there that being as I am, would go into the temple, to save his life? I will not go in.
А ја рекох: Зар ће човек какав сам ја бежати? Или ко би овакав какав сам ја ушао у цркву да остане у животу? Нећу ићи.
12 And I understood that God had not sent him, but that he had spoken to me as if he had been prophesying, and Tobias, and Sanaballat had hired him.
И разумех да га није Бог послао, него то пророштво каза за ме, јер га Товија и Санавалат поткупише.
13 For he had taken money, that I being afraid should do this thing, and sin, and they might have some evil to upbraid me withal.
Зато беше поткупљен да ме уплаши да онако учиним и згрешим да бих се осрамотио да ме могу ружити.
14 Remember me, O Lord, for Tobias and Sanaballat, according to their works of this kind: and Noadias the prophet, and the rest of the prophets that would have put me in fear.
Помени, Боже мој, Товију и Санавалата по овим делима њиховим, и Ноадију пророчицу и друге пророке који ме хтеше уплашити.
15 But the wall was finished the five and twentieth day of the month of Elul, in two and fifty days.
И тако доврши се зид двадесет петог дана месеца Елула за педесет и два дана.
16 And it came to pass when all our enemies heard of it, that all nations which were round about us, were afraid, and were cast down within themselves, for they perceived that this work was the work of God.
И кад чуше сви непријатељи наши и видеше сви народи који беху око нас, уплашише се врло, јер познаше да је Бог наш учинио то дело.
17 Moreover in those days many letters were sent by the principal men of the Jews to Tobias, and from Tobias there came letters to them.
И у оне дане многи главари јудејски слаху књиге Товији, и од Товије њима долажаху књиге.
18 For there were many in Judea sworn to him, because he was the son in law of Sechenias the son of Area, and Johanan his son had taken to wife the daughter of Mosollam the son of Barachias.
Јер многи Јудејци беху му се заклели; јер беше зет Сеханији, сину Араховом, и Јоанан син његов беше ожењен кћерју Меулама, сина Варахијиног.
19 And they praised him also before me, and they related my words to him: And Tobias sent letters to put me in fear.
И говораху преда мном добро о њему, и речи моје доказиваху му; и Товија слаше књиге да ме уплаши.
