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.
Ketika Sanbalat mendengar, bahwa kami sedang membangun kembali tembok, bangkitlah amarahnya dan ia sangat sakit hati. Ia mengolok-olokkan orang Yahudi
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.
dan berkata di hadapan saudara-saudaranya dan tentara Samaria: "Apa gerangan yang dilakukan orang-orang Yahudi yang lemah ini? Apakah mereka memperkokoh sesuatu? Apakah mereka hendak membawa persembahan? Apakah mereka akan selesai dalam sehari? Apakah mereka akan menghidupkan kembali batu-batu dari timbunan puing yang sudah terbakar habis seperti ini?"
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.
Lalu berkatalah Tobia, orang Amon itu, yang ada di dekatnya: "Sekalipun mereka membangun kembali, kalau seekor anjing hutan meloncat dan menyentuhnya, robohlah tembok batu mereka."
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.
Ya, Allah kami, dengarlah bagaimana kami dihina. Balikkanlah cercaan mereka menimpa kepala mereka sendiri dan serahkanlah mereka menjadi jarahan di tanah tempat tawanan.
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.
Jangan Kaututupi kesalahan mereka, dan dosa mereka jangan Kauhapus dari hadapan-Mu, karena mereka menyakiti hati-Mu dengan sikap mereka terhadap orang-orang yang sedang membangun.
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.
Tetapi kami terus membangun tembok sampai setengah tinggi dan sampai ujung-ujungnya bertemu, karena seluruh bangsa bekerja dengan segenap hati.
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.
Ketika Sanbalat dan Tobia serta orang Arab dan orang Amon dan orang Asdod mendengar, bahwa pekerjaan perbaikan tembok Yerusalem maju dan bahwa lobang-lobang tembok mulai tertutup, maka sangat marahlah mereka.
8 And they conspired all of them together to come to wage war against Jerusalem and to make for it confusion.
Mereka semua mengadakan persepakatan bersama untuk memerangi Yerusalem dan mengadakan kekacauan di sana.
9 And we prayed to God our and we stationed a guard on them by day and night because of them.
Tetapi kami berdoa kepada Allah kami, dan mengadakan penjagaan terhadap mereka siang dan malam karena sikap mereka.
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.
Berkatalah orang Yehuda: "Kekuatan para pengangkat sudah merosot dan puing masih sangat banyak. Tak sanggup kami membangun kembali tembok ini."
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.
Tetapi lawan-lawan kami berpikir: "Mereka tidak akan tahu dan tidak akan melihat apa-apa, sampai kita ada di antara mereka, membunuh mereka dan menghentikan pekerjaan itu."
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.
Ketika orang-orang Yahudi yang tinggal dekat mereka sudah sepuluh kali datang memperingatkan kami: "Mereka akan menyerang kita dari segala tempat tinggal mereka,"
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.
maka aku tempatkan rakyat menurut kaum keluarganya dengan pedang, tombak dan panah di bagian-bagian yang paling rendah dari tempat itu, di belakang tembok, di tempat-tempat yang terbuka.
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.
Kuamati semuanya, lalu bangun berdiri dan berkata kepada para pemuka dan para penguasa dan kepada orang-orang yang lain: "Jangan kamu takut terhadap mereka! Ingatlah kepada Tuhan yang maha besar dan dahsyat dan berperanglah untuk saudara-saudaramu, untuk anak-anak lelaki dan anak-anak perempuanmu, untuk isterimu dan rumahmu."
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.
Ketika didengar musuh kami, bahwa rencana mereka sudah kami ketahui dan bahwa Allah telah menggagalkannya, maka dapatlah kami semua kembali ke tembok, masing-masing ke pekerjaannya.
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.
Sejak hari itu sebagian dari pada anak buahku melakukan pekerjaan, dan sebagian yang lain memegang tombak, perisai dan panah dan mengenakan baju zirah, sedang para pemimpin berdiri di belakang segenap kaum Yehuda
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.
yang membangun di tembok. Orang-orang yang memikul dan mengangkut melakukan pekerjaannya dengan satu tangan dan dengan tangan yang lain mereka memegang senjata.
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.
Setiap orang yang membangun bekerja dengan berikatkan pedang pada pinggangnya, dan di sampingku berdiri peniup sangkakala.
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.
Berkatalah aku kepada para pemuka dan para penguasa dan kepada orang-orang yang lain: "Pekerjaan ini besar dan luas, dan kita terpencar pada tembok, yang satu jauh dari pada yang lain.
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.
Dan kalau kamu mendengar bunyi sangkakala di suatu tempat, berkumpullah ke sana mendapatkan kami. Allah kita akan berperang bagi kita!"
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.
Demikianlah kami melakukan pekerjaan itu, sedang sebagian dari pada orang-orang memegang tombak dari merekahnya fajar sampai terbitnya bintang-bintang.
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.
Pada waktu itu juga aku berikan perintah kepada rakyat: "Setiap orang dengan anak buahnya harus bermalam di Yerusalem, supaya mereka mengadakan penjagaan bagi kami pada malam hari, dan melakukan pekerjaannya pada siang hari."
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.
Demikianlah aku sendiri, saudara-saudaraku, anak buahku dan para penjaga yang mengikut aku, kami semua tidak sempat menanggalkan pakaian kami. Setiap orang memegang senjata dengan tangan kanan.
