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.
Da det nu kom Sanballat, Araberen Gesjem og vore andre Fjender for Øre, at jeg havde bygget Muren, og at der ikke var flere Huller i den - dog havde jeg på den Tid ikke sat Fløje 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.
sendte Sanballat og Gesjem Bud og opfordrede mig til en Sammenkomst i Kefirim i Onodalen. Men de havde ondt i Sinde imod mig.
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.
Derfor sendte jeg Bud til dem og lod sige: "Jeg har et stort Arbejde for og kan derfor ikke komme derned; hvorfor skulde Arbejdet standse? Og det vilde ske, hvis jeg lod det ligge for at komme 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.
Fire Gange sendte de mig samme Bud, og hver Gang gav jeg dem samme Svar.
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 for femte Gang sin Tjener til mig med samme Bud, og han havde et åbent Brev med,
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.
i hvilket der stod: Det hedder sig blandt Folkene, og Gasjmut bekræfter det, at du og Jøderne pønser på Oprør; derfor er det, du bygger Muren, og at du vil være deres Konge.
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 du skal endog have fået Profeter til i Jerusalem at udråbe dig til Konge i Juda. Dette Rygte vil nu komme Kongen for Øre; kom derfor og lad os tales ved!
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 ham det Bud: Slige Ting, som du omtaler, er slet ikke sket; det er dit eget Påfund!
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 havde alle til Hensigt at indjage os Skræk, idet de tænkte, at vi skulde lade Hænderne synke, så Arbejdet ikke blev til noget. Men styrk du nu 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.
Og da jeg gik ind i Sjemajas, Mehetab'els Søn Delajas Søns, Hus, som ved den Tid måtte holde sig inde, sagde han: Lad os tales ved i Guds Hus, i Helligdommens Indre, og stænge Dørene, thi der kommer nogle Folk, som vil dræbe dig; de kommer i Nat for at dræbe dig!"
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 svarede: Skulde en Mand som jeg flygte? Og hvorledes skulde en Mand som jeg kunne betræde Helligdommen og blive i Live? Jeg går ikke 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 skønnede, at det ikke var Gud, som havde sendt ham, men at han var kommet med det Udsagn om mig, fordi Tobija 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.
for at jeg skulde blive bange og forsynde mig ved slig Adfærd og de få Anledning til ilde Omtale, så de kunde bagvaske 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.
Kom Tobija og Sanballat i Hu, min Gud, efter deres Gerninger, ligeledes Profetinden Noadja og de andre Profeter, der vilde gøre mig bange!
15 And it was complete the wall on [day] twenty and five of Elul to fifty and two day[s].
Således blev Muren færdig den fem og tyvende Dag i Elul Måned efter to og halvtredsindstyve Dages Forløb.
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 da alle vore Fjender hørte det, blev alle Hedningerne rundt om os bange og såre nedslåede, idet de skønnede, at dette Værk var udført med vor Guds Hjælp.
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.
Men der gik også i de Dage en Mængde Breve frem og tilbage mellem Tobija og de store i Juda;
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 mange i Juda stod i Edsforbund med ham, da han var Svigersøn af Sjekanja, Aras Søn, og hans Søn Johanan var gift med en Datter af Mesjullam, Berekjas Søn.
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.
Også plejede de både at tale godt om ham til mig og at forebringe ham mine Ord; Tobija sendte også Breve for at gøre mig bange.
