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

But when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry, and was very indignant, and mocked the Jews.

He spoke before his brothers and the army of Samaria, and said, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they fortify themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, since they are burnt?”

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

Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, “What they are building, if a fox climbed up it, he 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 reproach on their own head. Give them up for a plunder in a land of captivity.

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

Don’t cover their iniquity. Don’t let their sin be blotted out from before you; for they have insulted the builders.”

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 mind to work.

But when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabians, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem went forward, and that the breaches began to be filled, they were very angry;

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

and they all conspired together to come and fight against Jerusalem, and to cause confusion amongst us.

9 and to pray to(wards) God our and to stand: stand custody upon them by day and night from face: because their

But we made our prayer to our God, and set a watch against them day and night because of them.

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

Judah said, “The strength of the bearers of burdens is fading and there is much rubble, so that we are not able to build 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 adversaries said, “They will not know or see, until we come in amongst them and kill them, and cause the work to cease.”

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

When the Jews who lived by them came, they said to us ten times from all places, “Wherever you turn, they will attack 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

Therefore I set guards in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in the open places. I set the people by family groups with their swords, their spears, and their 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

I looked, and rose up, and said to the nobles, to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, “Don’t be afraid of them! Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.”

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

When our enemies heard that it was known to us, and God had brought their counsel to nothing, all of us returned to the wall, everyone to his work.

From that time forth, half of my servants did the work, and half of them held the spears, the shields, the bows, and the coats of mail; and the rulers were behind all the house 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

Those who built the wall, and those who bore burdens loaded themselves; everyone with one of his hands did the work, and with the other 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

Amongst the builders, everyone wore his sword at his side, and so built. He who sounded the trumpet was by me.

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

So we did the work. Half of the people held the spears from the rising of the morning until the stars appeared.

Likewise at the same time I said to the people, “Let everyone with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and may labour in the day.”

So neither I, nor my brothers, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me took off our clothes. Everyone took his weapon to the water.
