Nehemiah 6
1 And it cometh to pass, when it hath been heard by Sanballat, and Tobiah, and by Geshem the Arabian, and by the rest of our enemies, that I have builded the wall, and there hath not been left in it a breach, (also, till that time the doors I had not set up in the gates, )
Pripetilo se je torej, ko so Sanbalát, Tobija, Arabec Gešem in ostali izmed naših sovražnikov slišali, da sem zgradil obzidje in da v njem ni ostalo nobene vrzeli (čeprav ob tistem času nisem postavil duri na velika vrata)
2 that Sanballat sendeth, also Geshem, unto me, saying, 'Come and we meet together in the villages, in the valley of Ono;' and they are thinking to do to me evil.
da sta Sanbalát in Gešem poslala k meni, rekoč: »Pridi, skupaj se srečajmo v eni izmed vasi, na ravnini Onó.« Toda mislila sta mi storiti vragolijo.
3 And I send unto them messengers, saying, 'A great work I am doing, and I am not able to come down; why doth the work cease when I let it alone, and have come down unto you?'
K njima sem poslal poslance, rekoč: »Jaz opravljam veliko delo, tako da ne morem priti dol. Zakaj bi delo prenehalo, medtem ko ga zapustim in pridem dol k vama?«
4 and they send unto me, according to this word, four times, and I return them [word] according to this word.
Vendar sta štirikrat poslala k meni na ta način, jaz pa sem jima odgovoril na isti način.
5 And Sanballat sendeth unto me, according to this word, a fifth time, his servant, and an open letter in his hand;
Potem je Sanbalát petič k meni poslal svojega služabnika na podoben način, z odprtim pismom v svoji roki,
6 it is written in it, 'Among the nations it hath been heard, and Gashmu is saying: Thou and the Jews are thinking to rebel, therefore thou art building the wall, and thou hast been to them for a king — according to these words!
v katerem je bilo zapisano: »Med pogani se govori in Gašmu pravi to, da se ti in Judje mislite upreti, kajti zaradi tega razloga gradiš obzidje, da bi lahko postal njihov kralj, glede na te besede.
7 And also, prophets thou hast appointed to call for thee in Jerusalem, saying, A king [is] in Judah, and now it is heard by the king according to these words; and now come, and we take counsel together.'
Določil si tudi preroke, da o tebi oznanjajo v Jeruzalemu, rekoč: › Tam je kralj v Judu.‹ In sedaj bo to sporočeno kralju, glede teh besed. Pridite torej sedaj in skupaj sprejmimo nasvet.«
8 And I send unto him, saying, 'It hath not been according to these words that thou art saying, for from thine own heart thou art devising them;'
Potem sem poslal k njemu, rekoč: »Tukaj se niso storile nobene takšne stvari, kot ti praviš, temveč si jih hlinil iz svojega lastnega srca.«
9 for all of them are making us afraid, saying, 'Their hands are too feeble for the work, and it is not done;' and now, strengthen Thou my hands.
Kajti oni vsi so nas prestrašili, rekoč: »Njihove roke bodo oslabele od dela, da to ne bo končano.« Sedaj torej, oh Bog, okrepi moje roke.
10 And I have entered the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabeel — and he is restrained — and he saith, 'Let us meet at the house of God, at the inside of the temple, and we shut the doors of the temple, for they are coming in to slay thee — yea, by night they are coming in to slay thee.'
Zatem sem prišel v hišo Šemajája, sinú Delajája, sinú Mehetabéla, ki je bil zaprt. Rekel je: »Skupaj se srečajva v hiši Boga, znotraj templja in zapriva vrata templja, kajti prišli bodo, da te ubijejo. Da, ponoči bodo prišli, da te ubijejo.«
11 And I say, 'A man such as I — doth he flee? and who as I, that doth go in unto the temple, and live? — I do not go in.'
Rekel sem: »Ali naj bi takšen človek, kakor sem jaz, bežal? In kdo je tam, ki bi kakor sem jaz, šel v tempelj, da reši svoje življenje? Ne bom šel noter.«
12 And I discern, and lo, God hath not sent him, for in the prophecy he hath spoken unto me both Tobiah and Sanballat hired him,
Glej, zaznal sem, da ga ni poslal Bog, temveč, da je to prerokbo proglasil zoper mene, kajti najela sta ga Tobija in Sanbalát.
13 so that he [is] an hireling, that I may fear and do so, and I had sinned, and it had been to them for an evil name that they may reproach me.
Zato je bil najet, da bi bil jaz prestrašen in tako storil in grešil in da bi lahko imela stvar za hudobno poročilo, da bi me lahko grajala.
14 Be mindful, O my God, of Tobiah, and of Sanballat, according to these his works, and also, of Noadiah the prophetess, and of the rest of the prophets who have been making me afraid.
Moj Bog, misli na Tobija in Sanbaláta glede na ta njuna dela in na prerokinjo Noádjo in ostale preroke, ki so me hoteli postaviti v strah.
15 And the wall is completed in the twenty and fifth of Elul, on the fifty and second day;
Tako je bilo obzidje končano petindvajseti dan meseca elúla, v dvainpetdesetih dneh.
16 and it cometh to pass, when all our enemies have heard, and all the nations who are round about us see, that they fall greatly in their own eyes, and know that by our God hath this work been done.
Pripetilo se je, da ko so vsi naši sovražniki slišali o tem in so vsi pogani, ki so bili okoli nas, videli te stvari, so bili zelo potrti v svojih lastnih očeh, kajti zaznali so, da je bilo to delo izvršeno od našega Boga.
17 Also, in those days the freemen of Judah are multiplying their letters going unto Tobiah, and those of Tobiah are coming in unto them;
Poleg tega so v tistih dneh Judovi plemiči poslali mnogo pisem Tobiju in pisma od Tobija so prihajala k njim.
18 for many in Judah are sworn to him, for he [is] son-in-law to Shechaniah son of Arah, and Jehohanan his son hath taken the daughter of Meshullam son of Berechiah;
Kajti v Judu so bili mnogi, ki so mu prisegli, ker je bil zet Aráhovega sina Šehanjája in njegov sin Johanán je vzel hčer Berehjájevega sina Mešuláma.
19 also, his good deeds they have been saying before me, and my words they have been taking out to him; letters hath Tobiah sent to make me afraid.
Pred menoj so poročali tudi njegova dobra dejanja in mu izrekli moje besede. In Tobija je pošiljal pisma, da me postavi v strah.
