1 and to be like/as as which to hear: hear Sanballat for we to build [obj] [the] wall and to be incensed to/for him and to provoke to multiply and to mock upon [the] Jew

Now when Sanballat heard we were building the wall, it burned within him, and he was furiously angry, and he mocked the Jews.

In the presence of his brothers and the army of Samaria, he said, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they restore the city for themselves? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they finish the work in a day? Will they bring to life the stones from the piles of rubble after they were burned?

3 and Tobiah [the] Ammon beside him and to say also which they(masc.) to build if to ascend: rise fox and to break through wall stone their

Tobiah the Ammonite was with him, and he said, “If only a fox went up on what they are building, it would break down their stone wall!”

4 to hear: hear God our for to be contempt and to return: return reproach their to(wards) head their and to give: give them to/for plunder in/on/with land: country/planet captive

Hear, our God, for we are despised. Turn back their taunts on their own heads and give them up to be plundered in a land where they are prisoners.

5 and not to cover upon iniquity: guilt their and sin their from to/for face: before your not to wipe for to provoke to/for before [the] to build

Do not cover over their iniquity and do not erase their sin from before you, for they have provoked the builders to anger.

6 and to build [obj] [the] wall and to conspire all [the] wall till half her and to be heart to/for people to/for to make: do

So we built the wall and all the wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a desire to work.

But when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabians, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the work of repairing the walls of Jerusalem was going forward, and that the broken places in the wall were being closed up, a great anger burned within them.

8 and to conspire all their together to/for to come (in): come to/for to fight in/on/with Jerusalem and to/for to make: do to/for him error

They all conspired together, and they came to fight against Jerusalem and to cause confusion in it.

But we prayed to our God and set a guard as protection against them day and night because of their threat.

10 and to say Judah to stumble strength [the] burden and [the] dust to multiply and we not be able to/for to build in/on/with wall

Then the people of Judah said, “The strength of those who carry the burdens is failing. There is too much rubble, and we are not able to rebuild the wall.”

11 and to say enemy our not to know and not to see: see till which to come (in): come to(wards) midst their and to kill them and to cease [obj] [the] work

Our enemies said, “They will not know or see until we come among them and kill them, and stop the work.”

12 and to be like/as as which to come (in): come [the] Jew [the] to dwell beside them and to say to/for us ten beat from all [the] place which to return: return upon us

At that time the Jews who lived near them came from all directions and spoke to us ten times, warning us about the schemes they were making against us.

13 and to stand: put from lower to/for place from after to/for wall (in/on/with bare *Q(K)*) and to stand: put [obj] [the] people to/for family with sword their spear their and bow their

So I positioned people in the lowest parts of the wall in the exposed areas. I positioned each family with their swords, spears, and bows.

14 and to see: see and to arise: rise and to say to(wards) [the] noble and to(wards) [the] ruler and to(wards) remainder [the] people not to fear from face of their [obj] Lord [the] great: large and [the] to fear: revere to remember and to fight upon brother: compatriot your son: child your and daughter your woman: wife your and house: home your

Then I looked, and stood up, and I said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, “Do not be afraid of them. Call to mind the Lord, who is great and awesome. Fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives, and your homes.”

15 and to be like/as as which to hear: hear enemy our for to know to/for us and to break [the] God [obj] counsel their (and to return: return *Q(k)*) all our to(wards) [the] wall man: anyone to(wards) work his

It came about when our enemies heard that their plans were known to us, and God had frustrated their plans, all of us returned to the wall, each one to his work.

So from that time half of my servants worked only on rebuilding the wall, and half of them held spears, shields, bows, and wore armor, while the leaders stood behind all the people of Judah.

17 [the] to build in/on/with wall and [the] to lift: bear in/on/with burden to lift in/on/with one hand his to make: do in/on/with work and one to strengthen: hold [the] missile

The same workers who were building the wall and carrying loads were also guarding their positions. Everyone worked with one hand, and with the other hand he held his weapon.

18 and [the] to build man: anyone sword his to bind upon loin his and to build and [the] to blow in/on/with trumpet beside me

Every builder wore his sword on his side and that is how he worked. The one who sounded the trumpet stayed beside me.

I said to the nobles and to the officials and to the rest of the people, “The work is great and extensive, and we are separated on the wall, far from one another.

So we were doing the work. Half of them were holding spears from the rising of the dawn until the coming out of the stars.

22 also in/on/with time [the] he/she/it to say to/for people man: anyone and youth his to lodge in/on/with midst Jerusalem and to be to/for us [the] night custody and [the] day work

I also said to the people at that time, “Let every man and his servant spend the night in the middle of Jerusalem, so they may be for us a guard during the night and a worker in the day.”

23 and nothing I and brother: compatriot my and youth my and human [the] custody which after me nothing we to strip garment our man: anyone missile his [the] water

So neither I, nor my brothers, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us changed our clothes, and each of us carried his weapon, even if he went for water.
