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),
Pripetilo se je torej, ko so Sanbalát, Tobija, Arabec Gešem in ostali izmed naših sovražnikov slišali, da sem zgradil obzidje in da v njem ni ostalo nobene vrzeli (čeprav ob tistem času nisem postavil duri na velika vrata)
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.
da sta Sanbalát in Gešem poslala k meni, rekoč: »Pridi, skupaj se srečajmo v eni izmed vasi, na ravnini Onó.« Toda mislila sta mi storiti vragolijo.
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?”
K njima sem poslal poslance, rekoč: »Jaz opravljam veliko delo, tako da ne morem priti dol. Zakaj bi delo prenehalo, medtem ko ga zapustim in pridem dol k vama?«
4 And they send to me, according to this word, four times, and I return them [word] according to this word.
Vendar sta štirikrat poslala k meni na ta način, jaz pa sem jima odgovoril na isti način.
5 And Sanballat sends to me, according to this word, a fifth time, his servant, and an open letter in his hand;
Potem je Sanbalát petič k meni poslal svojega služabnika na podoben način, z odprtim pismom v svoji roki,
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!
v katerem je bilo zapisano: »Med pogani se govori in Gašmu pravi to, da se ti in Judje mislite upreti, kajti zaradi tega razloga gradiš obzidje, da bi lahko postal njihov kralj, glede na te besede.
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.”
Določil si tudi preroke, da o tebi oznanjajo v Jeruzalemu, rekoč: › Tam je kralj v Judu.‹ In sedaj bo to sporočeno kralju, glede teh besed. Pridite torej sedaj in skupaj sprejmimo nasvet.«
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”;
Potem sem poslal k njemu, rekoč: »Tukaj se niso storile nobene takšne stvari, kot ti praviš, temveč si jih hlinil iz svojega lastnega srca.«
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.
Kajti oni vsi so nas prestrašili, rekoč: »Njihove roke bodo oslabele od dela, da to ne bo končano.« Sedaj torej, oh Bog, okrepi moje roke.
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.”
Zatem sem prišel v hišo Šemajája, sinú Delajája, sinú Mehetabéla, ki je bil zaprt. Rekel je: »Skupaj se srečajva v hiši Boga, znotraj templja in zapriva vrata templja, kajti prišli bodo, da te ubijejo. Da, ponoči bodo prišli, da te ubijejo.«
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.”
Rekel sem: »Ali naj bi takšen človek, kakor sem jaz, bežal? In kdo je tam, ki bi kakor sem jaz, šel v tempelj, da reši svoje življenje? Ne bom šel noter.«
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,
Glej, zaznal sem, da ga ni poslal Bog, temveč, da je to prerokbo proglasil zoper mene, kajti najela sta ga Tobija in Sanbalát.
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.
Zato je bil najet, da bi bil jaz prestrašen in tako storil in grešil in da bi lahko imela stvar za hudobno poročilo, da bi me lahko grajala.
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.
Moj Bog, misli na Tobija in Sanbaláta glede na ta njuna dela in na prerokinjo Noádjo in ostale preroke, ki so me hoteli postaviti v strah.
15 And the wall is completed in the twenty-fifth of Elul, on the fifty-second day;
Tako je bilo obzidje končano petindvajseti dan meseca elúla, v dvainpetdesetih dneh.
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.
Pripetilo se je, da ko so vsi naši sovražniki slišali o tem in so vsi pogani, ki so bili okoli nas, videli te stvari, so bili zelo potrti v svojih lastnih očeh, kajti zaznali so, da je bilo to delo izvršeno od našega Boga.
17 Also, in those days the nobles of Judah are multiplying their letters going to Tobiah, and those of Tobiah are coming to them;
Poleg tega so v tistih dneh Judovi plemiči poslali mnogo pisem Tobiju in pisma od Tobija so prihajala k njim.
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;
Kajti v Judu so bili mnogi, ki so mu prisegli, ker je bil zet Aráhovega sina Šehanjája in njegov sin Johanán je vzel hčer Berehjájevega sina Mešuláma.
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.
Pred menoj so poročali tudi njegova dobra dejanja in mu izrekli moje besede. In Tobija je pošiljal pisma, da me postavi v strah.
