Nechemijas 6
1 Un notikās, kad Sanbalats un Tobija un Arābs Gešems un mūsu citi ienaidnieki dzirdēja, ka mēs to mūri bijām uzcēluši un iekš tā caurums neatlikās, (jebšu es līdz šim durvis vēl nebiju iecēlis vārtos),
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; )
2 Tad Sanbalats un Gešems pie manis sūtīja un lika sacīt: nāc, saiesim kopā Onus klajuma ciemos. Bet tie domāja, man ļaunu darīt.
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.
3 Un es sūtīju vēstnešus pie tiem un liku sacīt: man liels darbs darāms, ka nevaru nonākt; kāpēc šim darbam būs kavēties, ka es to pamestu un pie jums nonāktu?
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?
4 Un tie gan četras reizes pie manis sūtīja ar šo pašu valodu, un es sūtīju pie tiem atpakaļ ar to pašu valodu.
Yet they sent to me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner.
5 Tad Sanbalats piektā reizē pie manis sūtīja savu puisi tāpat ar neaiztaisītu grāmatu viņa rokā. Iekš tās bija rakstīts:
Then Sanballat sent his servant to me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;
6 Ļaudis dzird, un Gešems saka, ka tu ar tiem Jūdiem domā atkāpties un tāpēc to mūri uztaisi, un ka tu viņiem gribi būt par ķēniņu, - tā runā, -
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.
7 Ka tu arī praviešus iecēlis, kas lai izsauc par tevi Jeruzālemē un saka: viņš ir ķēniņš iekš Jūda. Un nu ķēniņš tādu valodu dzirdēs; nāc tad jel un lai mēs kopā sarunājamies.
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.
8 Bet es sūtīju pie viņa sacīdams: no tā, ko tu runā, nekas nav noticis; no savas sirds tu to esi izdomājis.
Then I sent to him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thy own heart.
9 Jo visi tie mūs baidīja un sacīja: viņu rokām būs no tā darba atstāties, ka tas netop darīts. Un nu, stiprini Tu, (ak Dievs), manas rokas.
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.
10 Kad es nu nācu Šemajas namā, - tas bija Delajas, Mehetabeēļa dēla, dēls, (bet viņš bija ieslēdzies), tad viņš sacīja: sanāksim Dieva namā, pašā Dieva nama vidū, un lai mēs Dieva nama durvis aizslēdzam, jo tie nāks, tevi nokaut, pašā naktī tie nāks, tevi nokaut.
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.
11 Bet es sacīju: vai tādam vīram, kā es, būs bēgt? Vai tādam, kā es, Dieva namā būs iet, lai paliktu dzīvs? Es neiešu.
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.
12 Jo redzi, es manīju, ka Dievs viņu nebija sūtījis. Bet viņš runāja šo sludināšanu uz mani, tāpēc ka Tobija un Sanebalats viņu bija derējuši.
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.
13 Viņš bija derēts, lai es izbīstos un tā daru un apgrēkojos, ka tie kādu ļaunu slavu atrastu, ar ko mani varētu nievāt.
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.
14 Piemini, mans Dievs, Tobiju un Sanbalatu pēc šiem darbiem un arī pravieti Noadiju un tos citus praviešus, kas ir meklējuši, mani darīt bailīgu!
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.
15 Tad nu tas mūris tapa pabeigts Elula mēneša divdesmit piektā dienā, piecdesmit divās dienās.
So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth [day] of [the month] Elul, in fifty and two days.
16 Un kad visi mūsu ienaidnieki to dzirdēja, tad visi apkārtējie pagāni bijās un viņu drošība zuda, jo tie samanīja, ka šis darbs ar mūsu Dieva palīgu bija padarīts.
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.
17 Tanīs dienās arī daudz virsnieki no Jūda rakstīja grāmatas; tās tapa sūtītas pie Tobijas, un Tobija sūtīja atkal pie tiem.
Moreover, in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and [the letters] of Tobiah came to them.
18 Jo daudzi iekš Jūda viņam bija zvērējuši, tāpēc ka tas bija Šehanijas, Arahus dēla, znots, un viņa dēls Jehohanans bija apņēmis Mešulama, Bereķijas dēla, meitu.
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.
19 Tie runāja arīdzan labu par viņu manā priekšā, un manus vārdus tie nonesa pie viņa; tad Tobija sūtīja grāmatas, ka tas mani biedinātu.
Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my words to him. [And] Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
