Nehemiah 4
1 And it was just when he heard Sanballat that we [were] rebuilding the wall and it burned to him and he was angry greatly and he mocked the Jews.
參巴拉聽見我們修造城牆就發怒，大大惱恨，嗤笑猶大人，
2 And he said - before brothers his and [the] army of Samaria and he said what? [are] the Jews feeble doing ¿ will they restore for themselves ¿ will they offer sacrifices ¿ will they finish in the day ¿ will they restore the stones from [the] heaps of debris and they [are] burned.
對他弟兄和撒馬利亞的軍兵說：「這些軟弱的猶大人做甚麼呢？要保護自己嗎？要獻祭嗎？要一日成功嗎？要從土堆裏拿出火燒的石頭再立牆嗎？」
3 And Tobiah the Ammonite [was] beside him and he said also [that] which they [are] building if it will go up a fox and it will break down [the] wall of stones their.
亞捫人多比雅站在旁邊，說：「他們所修造的石牆，就是狐狸上去也必跐倒。」
4 Hear O God our for we are contempt and return reproach their to own head their and give them to plunder in a land of captivity.
我們的上帝啊，求你垂聽，因為我們被藐視。求你使他們的毀謗歸於他們的頭上，使他們在擄到之地作為掠物。
5 And may not you cover over iniquity their and sin their from to before you may not it be wiped out for they have provoked to anger to before the builders.
不要遮掩他們的罪孽，不要使他們的罪惡從你面前塗抹，因為他們在修造的人眼前惹動你的怒氣。
6 And we rebuilt the wall and it was joined together all the wall to middle its and it belonged a heart to the people to work.
這樣，我們修造城牆，城牆就都連絡，高至一半，因為百姓專心做工。
7 And it was just when he heard Sanballat and Tobiah and the Arabs and the Ammonites and the Ashdodites that it had gone up [the] repair of [the] walls of Jerusalem that they had begun the broken down [parts] to be closed and it burned to them exceedingly.
參巴拉、多比雅、阿拉伯人、亞捫人、亞實突人聽見修造耶路撒冷城牆，着手進行堵塞破裂的地方，就甚發怒。
8 And they conspired all of them together to come to wage war against Jerusalem and to make for it confusion.
大家同謀要來攻擊耶路撒冷，使城內擾亂。
9 And we prayed to God our and we stationed a guard on them by day and night because of them.
然而，我們禱告我們的上帝，又因他們的緣故，就派人看守，晝夜防備。
10 And it said Judah it has failed [the] strength of the burden-bearer[s] and the debris [is] much and we not we will be able to rebuild the wall.
猶大人說：「灰土尚多，扛抬的人力氣已經衰敗，所以我們不能建造城牆。」
11 And they said opponents our not they will know and not they will see until that we will come into [the] midst of them and we will kill them and we will put an end to the work.
我們的敵人且說：「趁他們不知不見，我們進入他們中間，殺他們，使工作止住。」
12 And it was just when they came the Jews who were dwelling beside them and they said to us ten times from all the places which you will turn to us.
那靠近敵人居住的猶大人十次從各處來見我們，說：「你們必要回到我們那裏。」
13 And I stationed from [the] lower parts of the place from behind of the wall (in the open places *Q(K)*) and I stationed the people to clans with swords their spears their and bows their.
所以我使百姓各按宗族拿刀、拿槍、拿弓站在城牆後邊低窪的空處。
14 And I saw and I arose and I said to the nobles and to the officials and to [the] rest of the people may not you be afraid of them [the] Lord great and awesome remember and fight on brothers your sons your and daughters your wives your and houses your.
我察看了，就起來對貴冑、官長，和其餘的人說：「不要怕他們！當記念主是大而可畏的。你們要為弟兄、兒女、妻子、家產爭戰。」
15 And it was just when they heard enemies our that it was known to us and he had frustrated God purpose their (and we returned *Q(k)*) all of us to the wall each one to work his.
仇敵聽見我們知道他們的心意，見上帝也破壞他們的計謀，就不來了。我們都回到城牆那裏，各做各的工。
16 And it was - from the day that half of young men my [were] doing the work and half of them [were] holding and the spears the shields and the bows and the body armor and the commanders [were] behind all [the] house of Judah.
從那日起，我的僕人一半做工，一半拿槍、拿盾牌、拿弓、穿鎧甲，官長都站在猶大眾人的後邊。
17 Who were rebuilding the wall and the [ones who] were carrying in burden [were] carrying [it] with [the] one hand his doing the work and one [hand] [was] holding the weapon.
修造城牆的，扛抬材料的，都一手做工一手拿兵器。
18 And the builders each one sword his [were] girded on hips his and [were] building and the [one who] gave a blast on the ram's horn [was] beside me.
修造的人都腰間佩刀修造，吹角的人在我旁邊。
19 And I said to the nobles and to the officials and to [the] rest of the people the work [is] much and extensive and we [are] separate on the wall distant each from brother his.
我對貴冑、官長，和其餘的人說：「這工程浩大，我們在城牆上相離甚遠；
20 In [the] place where you will hear [the] sound of the ram's horn there towards you will assemble to us God our he will fight for us.
你們聽見角聲在哪裏，就聚集到我們那裏去。我們的上帝必為我們爭戰。」
21 And we [were] doing the work and half of them [were] keeping hold on spears from when came up the dawn until came out the stars.
於是，我們做工，一半拿兵器，從天亮直到星宿出現的時候。
22 Also at the time that I said to the people each one and servant his let them spend [the] night in [the] midst of Jerusalem and they will be for us the night a guard and the day work.
那時，我又對百姓說：「各人和他的僕人當在耶路撒冷住宿，好在夜間保守我們，白晝做工。」
23 And not I and brothers my and servants my and [the] men of the guard who [were] behind me not we [were] stripping off clothes our each one weapon his the water.
這樣，我和弟兄僕人，並跟從我的護兵都不脫衣服，出去打水也帶兵器。
