Nehemiah 6
1 And when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had built the wall, and that there were no more breaches therein, (though at that time I had not set vp the doores vpon the gates)
Бысть же егда услыша Санаваллат и Товиа и Гисам Аравийский и прочии врази наши, яко создах стену, и не остася в них скважня: и аз даже до времене онаго дверий не поставих во вратех:
2 Then sent Sanballat and Geshem vnto me, saying, Come thou that we may meete together in the villages in the plaine of Ono: and they thought to doe me euill.
и посла Санаваллат и Гисам ко мне, глаголюща: прииди, и соберемся вкупе в весех на поли Оно (глаголемем). Тии же помышляста мне сотворити злое.
3 Therefore I sent messengers vnto them, saying, I haue a great worke to doe, and I can not come downe: why should the worke cease, whiles I leaue it, and come downe to you?
И послах к нима послов, глаголя: дело велико аз творю и не могу снити, да не престанет дело: егда же совершу е, взыду к вама.
4 Yet they sent vnto me foure times after this sort. And I answered them after the same maner.
И посласта ко мне, якоже глагол сей, четырижды, и послах к нима по сим.
5 Then sent Sanballat his seruant after this sorte vnto me the fift time, with an open letter in his hand,
И присла ко мне Санаваллат пятое отрока своего, и послание отверсто в руку его, и бе написано в нем:
6 Wherein was written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu hath sayd it, that thou and the Iewes thinke to rebel, for the which cause thou buildest the wall and thou wilt bee their King according to these wordes.
во языцех услышано есть, и Гисам рече, яко ты и Иудее мыслите отступити, сего ради ты созидаеши стену, и ты да будеши им в царя:
7 Thou hast also ordeyned the Prophets to preach of thee at Ierusalem, saying, There is a King in Iudah: and nowe according to these wordes it shall come to the Kings eares: come now therefore, and let vs take counsell together.
и к сим пророки поставил еси себе, да будеши во Иерусалиме царем над Иудою: и ныне возвестятся царю словеса сия: и сего ради ныне прииди, да сотворима совет вкупе.
8 Then I sent vnto him, saying, It is not done according to these wordes that thou sayest: for thou feynest them of thine owne heart.
И послах к нему, глаголя: не сотворися по словесем сим, якоже ты глаголеши, зане от сердца твоего ты лжеши в сих:
9 For all they afrayed vs, saying, Their handes shalbe weakened from the worke, and it shall not be done: nowe therefore incourage thou me.
яко вси страшат нас, глаголюще: ослабеют руцы их от дела сего, и не сотворится: и ныне укрепих руки моя.
10 And I came to the house of Shemaiah the sonne of Delaiah the sonne of Mehetabeel, and he was shut vp, and he said, Let vs come together into the house of God in the middes of the Temple, and shut the doores of the Temple: for they will come to slay thee: yea, in the night will they come to kill thee.
И аз внидох в дом Семеа сына Далаиева, сына Метавеилева, и той заключен, и рече: да соберемся в дом Божий посреде его и заключим двери его, яко приходят нощию, да убиют тя.
11 Then I said, Should such a man as I, flee? Who is he, being as I am, that would go into the Temple to liue? I will not goe in.
И рекох: кто есть муж, яков аз, и убежит? Или кто яко аз, иже внидет в дом, и жив будет? Не вниду.
12 And loe, I perceiued, that God had not sent him, but that he pronounced this prophecie against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
И уразумех, и се, Бог не посла его: яко пророчествова слово на мя.
13 Therefore was he hyred, that I might be afrayde, and doe thus, and sinne, and that they might haue an euill report that they might reproche me.
И Товиа и Санаваллат наяста на мя народ, да устрашуся, и сотворю тако, и согрешу, и да буду им во имя зло, яко да поносят ми.
14 My God, remember thou Tobiah, and Sanballat according vnto these their workes, and Noadiah the Prophetesse also, and the rest of the Prophets that would haue put me in feare.
Помяни, Боже, Товию и Санаваллата по делом их сим, и Ноадиа пророка и прочих пророк, иже страшаху мя.
15 Notwithstanding the wall was finished on the fiue and twentieth day of Elul, in two and fiftie dayes.
И совершися стена в двадесять пятый месяца Елула в пятьдесят и два дни.
16 And when all our enemies heard thereof, euen all the heathen that were about vs, they were afraid, and their courage failed them: for they knew, that this worke was wrought by our God.
И бысть егда услышаша вси врази наши, и убояшася вси языцы, иже окрест нас, и нападе страх велик пред очи их, и познаша, яко от Господа Бога нашего совершено бысть дело сие.
17 And in these dayes were there many of the princes of Iudah, whose letters went vnto Tobiah, and those of Tobiah came vnto them.
И во дни оны от многих державных Иудиных послания прихождаху к Товии, и Товиина (послания) прихождаху к ним.
18 For there were many in Iudah, that were sworne vnto him: for he was the sonne in lawe of Shechaniah, the sonne of Arah: and his sonne Iehonathan had the daughter of Meshullam, the sonne of Berechiah.
Мнози бо во Иудеи кляшася ему, яко зять бе Сехении сына Ираева: и Ионафан сын его поя дщерь Месулама сына Варахиина в жену.
19 Yea, they spake in his praise before me, and tolde him my wordes, and Tobiah sent letters to put me in feare.
И словеса его быша глаголющии ко мне, и словеса моя быша износящии ему. И послание посла Товиа, да устрашит мене.
