Nehemiah 6
1 And it comes to pass, when it has been heard by Sanballat, and Tobiah, and by Geshem the Arabian, and by the rest of our enemies, that I have built the wall, and there has not been left in it a breach (also, until 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 that Sanballat sends, also Geshem, to me, saying, “Come and we meet together in the villages, in the Valley of Ono”; and they are thinking to do to me evil.
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 send to them messengers, saying, “A great work I am doing, and I am not able to come down; why does the work cease when I let it alone, and have come 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 send to me, according to this word, four times, and I return them [word] according to this word.
И слаше тако к мени четири пута; и ја им онако одговорих.
5 And Sanballat sends to me, according to this word, a fifth time, his servant, and an open letter in his hand;
Тада Санавалат посла к мени тако пети пут слугу свог с књигом отвореном у руци.
6 it is written in it, “Among the nations it has been heard, and Gashmu is saying: You and the Jews are thinking to rebel, therefore you are building the wall, and you have been to them for a king—according to these words!
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 And also, you have appointed prophets to call for you in Jerusalem, saying, A king [is] in Judah, and now it is heard by the king according to these words; and now come, and we 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 send to him, saying, “It has not been according to these words that you are saying, for from your own heart you are devising them”;
Тада послах к њему и поручих: Није тако како ти кажеш; него си сам измислио.
9 for all of them are making us afraid, saying, “Their hands are too feeble for the work, and it is not done”; and now, strengthen my hands.
Јер они сви хтеше нас уплашити говорећи: Клонуће руке њихове од посла и неће се свршити. Зато, Боже, укрепи руке моје.
10 And I have entered the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabeel—and he is restrained—and he says, “Let us meet at the house of God, at the inside of the temple, and we shut the doors of the temple, for they are coming to slay you—indeed, by night they are coming to slay you.”
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 say, “A man such as I—does he flee? And who as I, that goes into the temple, and lives? I do 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 discern, and behold, God has not sent him, for in the prophecy he has spoken to me both Tobiah and Sanballat hired him,
И разумех да га није Бог послао, него то пророштво каза за ме, јер га Товија и Санавалат поткупише.
13 so that he [is] a hired worker, that I may fear and do so, and I had sinned, and it had been to them for an evil name that they may reproach me.
Зато беше поткупљен да ме уплаши да онако учиним и згрешим да бих се осрамотио да ме могу ружити.
14 Be mindful, O my God, of Tobiah, and of Sanballat, according to these his works, and also, of Noadiah the prophetess, and of the rest of the prophets who have been making me afraid.
Помени, Боже мој, Товију и Санавалата по овим делима њиховим, и Ноадију пророчицу и друге пророке који ме хтеше уплашити.
15 And the wall is completed in the twenty-fifth of Elul, on the fifty-second day;
И тако доврши се зид двадесет петог дана месеца Елула за педесет и два дана.
16 and it comes to pass, when all our enemies have heard, and all the nations who are all around us see, that they fall greatly in their own eyes, and know that by our God has this work been done.
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 Also, in those days the nobles of Judah are multiplying their letters going to Tobiah, and those of Tobiah are coming to them;
И у оне дане многи главари јудејски слаху књиге Товији, и од Товије њима долажаху књиге.
18 for many in Judah are sworn to him, for he [is] son-in-law to Shechaniah son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan has taken the daughter of Meshullam son of Berechiah;
Јер многи Јудејци беху му се заклели; јер беше зет Сеханији, сину Араховом, и Јоанан син његов беше ожењен кћерју Меулама, сина Варахијиног.
19 also, they have been speaking of his good deeds before me, and they have been taking my words out to him; Tobiah has sent letters to make me afraid.
И говораху преда мном добро о њему, и речи моје доказиваху му; и Товија слаше књиге да ме уплаши.
