Nehemiah 6
1 Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had built the wall, and [that] there was no breach left in it, (though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates; )
Бысть же егда услыша Санаваллат и Товиа и Гисам Аравийский и прочии врази наши, яко создах стену, и не остася в них скважня: и аз даже до времене онаго дверий не поставих во вратех:
2 That Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, Come, let us meet together in [some one of] the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.
и посла Санаваллат и Гисам ко мне, глаголюща: прииди, и соберемся вкупе в весех на поли Оно (глаголемем). Тии же помышляста мне сотворити злое.
3 And I sent messengers to them, saying, I [am] doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?
И послах к нима послов, глаголя: дело велико аз творю и не могу снити, да не престанет дело: егда же совершу е, взыду к вама.
4 Yet they sent to me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner.
И посласта ко мне, якоже глагол сей, четырижды, и послах к нима по сим.
5 Then Sanballat sent his servant to me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;
И присла ко мне Санаваллат пятое отрока своего, и послание отверсто в руку его, и бе написано в нем:
6 In which [was] written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith [it], [that] thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall that thou mayest be their king, according to these words.
во языцех услышано есть, и Гисам рече, яко ты и Иудее мыслите отступити, сего ради ты созидаеши стену, и ты да будеши им в царя:
7 And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, [There is] a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.
и к сим пророки поставил еси себе, да будеши во Иерусалиме царем над Иудою: и ныне возвестятся царю словеса сия: и сего ради ныне прииди, да сотворима совет вкупе.
8 Then I sent to him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thy own heart.
И послах к нему, глаголя: не сотворися по словесем сим, якоже ты глаголеши, зане от сердца твоего ты лжеши в сих:
9 For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it may not be done. Now therefore, [O God], strengthen my hands.
яко вси страшат нас, глаголюще: ослабеют руцы их от дела сего, и не сотворится: и ныне укрепих руки моя.
10 Afterward I came to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, who [was] shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee.
И аз внидох в дом Семеа сына Далаиева, сына Метавеилева, и той заключен, и рече: да соберемся в дом Божий посреде его и заключим двери его, яко приходят нощию, да убиют тя.
11 And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who [is there], that, [being] as I [am], would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.
И рекох: кто есть муж, яков аз, и убежит? Или кто яко аз, иже внидет в дом, и жив будет? Не вниду.
12 And lo, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
И уразумех, и се, Бог не посла его: яко пророчествова слово на мя.
13 Therefore [was] he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and [that] they might have [matter] for an evil report, that they might reproach me.
И Товиа и Санаваллат наяста на мя народ, да устрашуся, и сотворю тако, и согрешу, и да буду им во имя зло, яко да поносят ми.
14 My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.
Помяни, Боже, Товию и Санаваллата по делом их сим, и Ноадиа пророка и прочих пророк, иже страшаху мя.
15 So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth [day] of [the month] Elul, in fifty and two days.
И совершися стена в двадесять пятый месяца Елула в пятьдесят и два дни.
16 And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard [of it], and all the heathen that [were] about us saw [these things], they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought by our God.
И бысть егда услышаша вси врази наши, и убояшася вси языцы, иже окрест нас, и нападе страх велик пред очи их, и познаша, яко от Господа Бога нашего совершено бысть дело сие.
17 Moreover, in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and [the letters] of Tobiah came to them.
И во дни оны от многих державных Иудиных послания прихождаху к Товии, и Товиина (послания) прихождаху к ним.
18 For [there were] many in Judah sworn to him, because he [was] the son-in-law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.
Мнози бо во Иудеи кляшася ему, яко зять бе Сехении сына Ираева: и Ионафан сын его поя дщерь Месулама сына Варахиина в жену.
19 Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my words to him. [And] Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
И словеса его быша глаголющии ко мне, и словеса моя быша износящии ему. И послание посла Товиа, да устрашит мене.
