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.
茲にサンバラテわれらが石垣を築くを聞て怒り大に憤ほりてユダヤ人を罵れり
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.
即ち彼その兄弟等およびサマリアの軍兵の前に語りて言ふ此軟弱しきユダヤ人何を爲や自ら強くせんとするか獻祭をなさんとするか一日に事を終んとするか塵堆の中の石は既に燬たるに之を取出して活さんとするかと
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.
時にアンモニ人トビヤその傍にありてまた言ふ彼らの築く石垣は狐上るも圮るべしと
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.
我らの神よ聴たまへ我らは侮らる願くは彼らの出す凌辱をその身の首に歸し彼らを他國に擄はれしめ掠られしめたまへ
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.
彼らの愆を蔽ひたまふ勿れ彼らの罪を汝の前より消去しめたまはざれ其は彼ら築建者の前にて汝の怒を惹おこしたればなり
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.
斯われら石垣を築きけるが石垣はみな已に相連なりてその高さの半にまで及べり其は民心をこめて操作たればなり
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.
然るにサンバラテ、トビヤ、アラビヤ人アンモニ人アシドド人等ヱルサレムの石垣改修れ其破壊も次第に塞がると聞て大に怒り
8 And they conspired all of them together to come to wage war against Jerusalem and to make for it confusion.
皆ともに相結びてヱルサレムに攻來らんとしその中に擾亂をおこさんとせり
9 And we prayed to God our and we stationed a guard on them by day and night because of them.
是において我ら神に祈祷をなしかれらのために日夜守望者を置て之に備ふ
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.
ユダ人は言り荷を負ふ者の力衰へしが上に灰土おびただしくして我ら石垣を築くこと能はずと
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.
我らの敵は言り彼等が知ずまた見ざる間に我ら其中に入り之を殺してその工事を止めんと
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.
又彼らの辺に住るユダヤ人來る時は我らに告て言ふ汝ら我らの所に歸らざるべからずと其事十次にも及べり
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.
是に因て我石垣の後の顕露なる低き處に民を置き劍鎗または弓を持せてその宗族にしたがひて之をそなふ
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.
我観めぐり起て貴き人々および牧伯等ならびにその餘の民に告て云ふ汝ら彼等のために懼るる勿れ主の大にして畏るべきを憶ひ汝らの兄弟のため男子女子のため妻および家のために戦かへよと
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.
我らの敵おのが事の我らに知れたるをききておのが謀計を神に破られたるを聞しによりて我ら皆石垣に歸り各々その工事をなせり
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.
其時より後わが僕半は工事に操作き半は鎗楯弓などを持て鎧を着たり牧伯等はユダの全家の後にありき
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.
石垣を築く者および荷を負ひはこぶ者は各々片手もて工事を爲し片手に武器を執り
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.
築建者はおのおのその腰に劍を帯て築き建つ又喇叭を吹く者は我傍あり
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.
我貴き人々および牧伯等ならびにその餘の民に告て云ふ此工事は大にして廣ければ我儕石垣にありて彼此に相離ること遠し
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.
何處にもあれ汝ら喇叭の音のきこゆるを聞ば其處に奔あつまりて我らに就け我らの神われらのために戦ひたまふべしと
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.
我ら斯して工事をなしけるが半の者は東雲の出るより星の現はるるまで鎗を持をれり
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.
當時われ亦民に言らく皆おのおのその僕とともにヱルサレムの中に宿り夜は我らの防守となり昼は工事をつとむべしと
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.
而して我もわが兄弟等もわが僕も我に從がふ防守の人々もその衣服を脱す水を汲に出るにも皆武器を執れり
