Nehemiah 6
1 And it came to pass, when it was reported to Sanballat and Tobiah and to Geshem the Arabian and to the rest of our enemies, that I had built the wall, and there was left therein no breach, —though, up to that time, the doors, had I not set up in the gates,
参巴拉、多比雅、阿拉伯人基善和我们其余的仇敌听见我已经修完了城墙，其中没有破裂之处（那时我还没有安门扇），
2 that Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come! and let us meet together in the villages, in the valley of Ono, —But, they, were plotting to do me harm.
参巴拉和基善就打发人来见我，说：“请你来，我们在阿挪平原的一个村庄相会。”他们却想害我。
3 So I sent unto them messengers, saying, A great work, am, I, doing, and cannot come down, —wherefore should the work cease whilst I leave it, and come down unto you?
于是我差遣人去见他们，说：“我现在办理大工，不能下去。焉能停工下去见你们呢？”
4 Yet they sent unto me, according to this message, four times, —and I replied to them according to this answer.
他们这样四次打发人来见我，我都如此回答他们。
5 Then Sanballat sent unto me, according to this message, a fifth time, by his young man, —with an open letter, in his hand:
参巴拉第五次打发仆人来见我，手里拿着未封的信，
6 wherein was written—Among the nations, it is reported, and, Gashmu, saith it, that, thou and the Jews, are plotting to rebel, for which cause, thou art building the wall, —and, thou, art to become their king, according to these words.
信上写着说：“外邦人中有风声，迦施慕也说，你和犹大人谋反，修造城墙，你要作他们的王；
7 Moreover also, prophets, hast thou set up to make proclamation concerning thee in Jerusalem, saying, He hath become king in Judah! Now, therefore, will it he reported to the king, according to these words. Now, therefore, come, and let us take counsel together.
你又派先知在耶路撒冷指着你宣讲，说在犹大有王。现在这话必传与王知；所以请你来，与我们彼此商议。”
8 Then sent I unto him, saying, Nothing hath been done, according to these words, which thou art saying, —but, out of thine own heart, art thou feigning them.
我就差遣人去见他，说：“你所说的这事，一概没有，是你心里捏造的。”
9 For, they all, were seeking to put us in fear, saying, Their hands will slacken from the work, and it will not be accomplished. Now, therefore, strengthen thou my hands!
他们都要使我们惧怕，意思说，他们的手必软弱，以致工作不能成就。 神啊，求你坚固我的手。
10 When, I, came into the house of Shemaiah, son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabel, he, being shut in, he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, in the midst of the temple, and let us close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to slay thee, yea, by night, are they coming to slay thee.
我到了米希大别的孙子、第来雅的儿子示玛雅家里；那时，他闭门不出。他说：“我们不如在 神的殿里会面，将殿门关锁；因为他们要来杀你，就是夜里来杀你。”
11 Then said I, Should, such a man as I, flee? Who then, being such as I, would enter the temple to save his life? I will not enter.
我说：“像我这样的人岂要逃跑呢？像我这样的人岂能进入殿里保全生命呢？我不进去！”
12 Then perceived I, that lo! it was, not God, who had sent him, —though, a prophecy, he had spoken concerning me, but, Tobiah and Sanballat, had hired him:
我看明 神没有差遣他，是他自己说这话攻击我，是多比雅和参巴拉贿买了他。
13 to this end, hired, he was, to the end that I might be afraid and do so, and might sin, —and it might serve them for an evil report, to the end they might bring reproach upon me.
贿买他的缘故，是要叫我惧怕，依从他犯罪，他们好传扬恶言毁谤我。
14 Have remembrance, O my God, of Tobiah and of Sanballat, according to these their doings, —moreover also, of Noadiah the prophetess, and of the rest of the prophets, who would have put me in fear.
我的 神啊，多比雅、参巴拉、女先知挪亚底，和其余的先知要叫我惧怕，求你记念他们所行的这些事。
15 So the wall was finished, on the twenty-fifth of Elul, —in fifty-two days.
以禄月二十五日，城墙修完了，共修了五十二天。
16 And it came to pass, when all our enemies heard, and all the nations that were round about us saw, that they fell greatly in their own eyes, and took knowledge that, from God, had this work been wrought.
我们一切仇敌、四围的外邦人听见了便惧怕，愁眉不展；因为见这工作完成是出乎我们的 神。
17 Moreover, in those days, were the nobles of Judah busy with their letters which were going unto Tobiah, —and those of Tobiah were coming unto them;
在那些日子，犹大的贵胄屡次寄信与多比雅，多比雅也来信与他们。
18 for, many in Judah, had taken an oath to him, because he was in marriage affinity with Shecaniah son of Arah, —and, Jehohanan his son, had taken the daughter of Meshullam, son of Berechiah.
在犹大有许多人与多比雅结盟；因他是亚拉的儿子，示迦尼的女婿，并且他的儿子约哈难娶了比利迦儿子米书兰的女儿为妻。
19 Moreover, his good deeds, were they telling before me, and, my affairs, were they carrying out to him, —letters, did Tobiah send to put me in fear.
他们常在我面前说多比雅的善行，也将我的话传与他。多比雅又常寄信来，要叫我惧怕。
