< 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.
Og det skete, der det hørtes af Sanballat og Tobia og Gesem, Araberen, og vore øvrige Fjender, at jeg havde bygget Muren, og at der var intet Brud blevet tilbage paa den, enddog jeg ikke til den Tid havde indsat Døre i Portene,
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.
da sendte Sanballat og Gesem til mig at lade sige: Gak med og lader os samles med hverandre i Landsbyerne i Dalen Ono; men de tænkte at gøre mig ondt.
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.
Og jeg sendte Bud til dem og lod sige: Jeg har et stort Arbejde at udrette og kan ikke komme ned; hvorfor skulde Arbejdet holde op? som om jeg skulde lade af fra det og drage ned til eder!
4 And they sent to me according to the manner this four times and I sent back to them according to the manner this.
Og de sendte fire Gange Bud til mig paa denne Maade, og jeg gav dem Svar igen paa denne Maade.
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.
Da sendte Sanballat paa samme Maade femte Gang sin Tjener til mig med et aabent Brev i hans Haand.
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.
Deri var skrevet: Det er hørt iblandt Hedningerne, og Gasmu har sagt det, at du og Jøderne tænke paa at falde fra, og at du derfor bygger Muren, og du vil være deres Konge efter dette Rygte,
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.
og at du ogsaa har bestilt Profeter, som skulle udraabe om dig i Jerusalem og sige: Han er Konge i Juda; og nu maatte det høres for Kongen efter dette Rygte; derfor kom nu og lader os raadslaa sammen!
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.
Men jeg sendte til ham at lade sige: Der er ikke sket noget af disse Ting, som du siger, men du har optænkt dem af dit eget Hjerte.
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.
Thi de vilde alle sammen gøre os frygtagtige og sagde: Deres Hænder skulle drage sig tilbage fra Arbejdet, at det ikke fuldføres; men nu, styrk mine Hænder!
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.
Der jeg kom i Huset hos Semaja, en Søn af Delaja, Mehetabeels Søn, medens han holdt sig indelukket, da sagde han: Lader os samles i Guds Hus, midt i Templet, og lukke Templets Døre; thi de ville komme for at slaa dig ihjel, ja de ville komme i Nat for at slaa dig ihjel.
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.
Men jeg sagde: Skulde en Mand som jeg flygte? og hvilken Mand, der var som jeg, skulde gaa ind i Templet og leve? jeg vil ikke gaa derind.
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.
Thi jeg mærkede godt, at Gud ikke havde sendt ham; men han talte den Spaadom om mig, fordi Tobia og Sanballat havde lejet ham dertil.
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.
Derfor var han lejet, at jeg skulde have frygtet og gjort saa og syndet, at det kunde have været dem til et ondt Rygte om mig, for at de kunde forhaane mig.
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.
Min Gud! kom Tobia og Sanballat i Hu efter disse hans Gerninger, ja ogsaa den Profetinde Noadja og de øvrige Profeter, som vilde gøre mig frygtsom.
15 And it was complete the wall on [day] twenty and five of Elul to fifty and two day[s].
Og Muren blev færdig paa den fem og tyvende Dag i Elul Maaned, udi to og halvtredsindstyve Dage.
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.
Og det skete, der alle vore Fjender havde hørt det, da frygtede alle Hedningerne, som vare trindt omkring os, og Modet syntes saare at falde paa dem; thi de kendte, at denne Gerning var gjort af vor Gud.
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.
Ogsaa i de samme Dage skreve de ypperste af Juda deres mange Breve, som gik til Tobia, og Breve fra Tobia kom til dem.
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.
Thi der var mange i Juda, som vare med Ed forbundne med ham; thi han var besvogret med Sekania, Aras Søn, og hans Søn, Johanan, havde taget Mesullams, Berekias Søns, Datter.
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.
De talte ogsaa om hans mange gode Egenskaber for mig og bragte mine Ord til ham; saa sendte Tobia Breve for at gøre mig frygtsom.
