Nehemiah 4
1 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, 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 spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which 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 Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even 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, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in the 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 thee to anger before the builders.
и обрати поношение их на главу их, и даждь их в посмеяние в землю пленения,
6 So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
и не покрый беззакония их.
7 But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and 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 and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
И собрашася вси вкупе, да приидут и ополчатся на Иерусалим и разорят его.
9 Nevertheless we made our prayer unto 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 is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build 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 in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.
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 which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times, From all places whence ye shall return unto us they will be upon you.
И бысть егда приидоша Иудее, иже обитаху близ их, и реша нам: восходят от всех язык на ны.
13 Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people after 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 unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which 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, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto 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 it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the armour; and the rulers 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 which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.
Созидающии стену и носящии бремена со оружием: единою рукою своею творяху дело, а другою держаху мечь.
18 For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. 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 unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated 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 therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us.
на месте идеже услышите глас трубный, тамо тецыте к нам, и Бог наш ополчится о нас.
21 So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning 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 said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour on 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 So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, none of us put off our clothes, saving that every one put them off for washing.
Аз же и братия мои и отроцы и мужие стражи, иже бяху созади мене, не снимахом одеяний наших тамо ни един от нас.
