Nehemiah 6
1 And it was just when it was heard by Sanballat and Tobiah and by Geshem the Arab and by [the] rest of enemies our that I had rebuilt the wall and not it was left in it a breach also until the time that doors not I had set up in the gates.
當桑巴拉特、托彼雅、阿剌伯人革笙和我們其他的仇敵，一聽說我重修了城牆，已沒有破口的地方，──雖然到那時，我還沒有在門上按裝門扇，──
2 And he sent Sanballat and Geshem to me saying come! so let us meet together at Kephirim in [the] plain of Ono and they [were] planning to do to me harm.
桑巴拉特和革笙，便派人到我這裏說：「請來，我們在敖諾平原的一個村鎮中會晤。」其實他們是企圖謀害我。
3 And I sent! to them messengers saying a work great I [am] doing and not I am able to go down why? will it cease the work when I will let drop it and I will go down to you.
我遂派使者去答覆他們說：「我作的工程浩大，不能前去。我怎能離開工作，到你們那裡去，而使工程停頓呢﹖」
4 And they sent to me according to the manner this four times and I sent back to them according to the manner this.
他們如此連續四次，遣使者到我這裏，我也同樣答覆了他們。
5 And he sent to me Sanballat according to the manner this a time fifth servant his and a letter open [was] in hand his.
隨後，桑巴拉特第五次，又同樣打發他的臣僕來，手中拿著一封未封的信，
6 [was] written In it among the nations it has been heard and Gashmu [is] saying you and the Jews [are] planning to rebel there-fore you [are] rebuilding the wall and you [are] about to become of them king according to the words these.
信上寫著說：「在各民族中傳說，而且革笙也證實此說：你和猶太人圖謀造反，為此你纔重修城牆；據說你還要為王。
7 And also prophets you have appointed to proclaim on you in Jerusalem saying a king [is] in Judah and now it will be heard by the king according to the words these and therefore come! so let us take counsel together.
並且你派定了先知，在耶路撒冷為你宣傳說：猶大有了王! 現今這些話勢必傳到君王那裏，所以請你來，我們互相商議商議。」
8 And I sent! to him saying not it has occurred according to the words these which you [are] saying that from heart your you [are] inventing them.
我遂派遣使者向他說：「決沒有像你所說的那些事，是你心中虛構的。」
9 For all of them [were] making afraid us saying they will drop hands their from the work and not it will be done and therefore strengthen hands my.
其實，他們是企圖恐嚇我們，心想：「如此他們必放棄那工程，不在工作下去。」但我的力量更堅強了。
10 And I I went [the] house of Shemaiah [the] son of Delaiah [the] son of Mehetabel and he [was] shut up and he said let us meet to [the] house of God to [the] middle of the temple and let us close [the] doors of the temple for [people are] coming to kill you and night [people are] coming to kill you.
有一天，我來到默塔貝耳的孫子，德拉雅的兒子舍瑪雅的家裏，他正閉門在家，對我說：「我們上天主的殿，到聖所裏去會晤，關好聖所的門戶，因為他們要來殺你，且今夜要來殺你。」
11 And I said! ¿ a man like me will he flee and who? [is] like me who he will go into the temple and he will live not I will go.
我答說：「像我這樣的人，能逃避到聖所中，保全生命嗎﹖我決不進去! 」
12 And I recognized! and there! not God he had sent him for the prophecy he had spoken on me and Tobiah and Sanballat he had hired him.
我覺察出來，不是天主打發他向我講這預言，而是托彼雅和桑巴拉特賄賂了他，
13 So that [was] hired he so that I may be afraid and I may act thus and I will sin and it will become for them a name bad so that they may reproach me.
要他恐嚇我，使我那樣去作犯罪的事，如此給他們留下一種壞名譽，好藉以辱罵我。
14 Remember! O God my to Tobiah and to Sanballat according to works his these and also Noadiah the prophetess and to [the] rest of the prophets who they were making afraid me.
我的天主! 請你按照托彼雅和桑巴拉特之所行，記憶他們! 也不要忘卻諾阿狄雅女先知和其餘的先知，因為他們企圖使我恐懼。
15 And it was complete the wall on [day] twenty and five of Elul to fifty and two day[s].
「厄路耳」月二十五日，城垣完成，共計為時五十二日。
16 And it was just when they heard all enemies our and they were afraid all the nations which [were] around us and they fell exceedingly in own eyes their and they knew that from with God our it had been done the work this.
我們所有的仇敵一聽說這事，我們四周的人民一看見這事，都十分驚異，並承認這工程，是賴我們的天主而完成的。
17 Also - in the days those [were] multiplying [the] nobles of Judah letters their [which were] going to Tobiah and [those] which [belonged] to Tobiah [were] coming to them.
在此期間，猶大有些有權勢的人，給托彼雅寄了許多函件，托彼雅也有覆函寄回。
18 For many [people] in Judah [were] lords of oath to him for [was] a son-in-law he of Shecaniah [the] son of Arah and Jehohanan son his he had taken [the] daughter of Meshullam [the] son of Berekiah.
因為猶大有許多人，與他宣示為盟，因他原是阿辣黑的兒子，舍加尼亞的女婿，他的兒子約哈南，又取了貝勒革雅的兒子默叔藍的女而為妻。
19 Also good deeds his they were telling before me and words my they were sending out to him letters he sent Tobiah to make afraid me.
他們常在我面前稱道他的善行，也將我的事向他報告，托彼雅遂來信恐嚇我。
