نَحَمْيَا 4

١ 1 وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ سَنْبَلَّطُ أَنَّنَا آخِذُونَ فِي بِنَاءِ ٱلسُّورِ غَضِبَ وَٱغْتَاظَ كَثِيرًا، وَهَزَأَ بِٱلْيَهُودِ.

And it was just when he heard Sanballat that we [were] rebuilding the wall and it burned to him and he was angry greatly and he mocked the Jews.

٢ 2 وَتَكَلَّمَ أَمَامَ إِخْوَتِهِ وَجَيْشِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ وَقَالَ: «مَاذَا يَعْمَلُ ٱلْيَهُودُ ٱلضُّعَفَاءُ؟ هَلْ يَتْرُكُونَهُمْ؟ هَلْ يَذْبَحُونَ؟ هَلْ يُكْمِلُونَ فِي يَوْمٍ؟ هَلْ يُحْيُونَ ٱلْحِجَارَةَ مِنْ كُوَمِ ٱلتُّرَابِ وَهِيَ مُحْرَقَةٌ؟»

And he said - before brothers his and [the] army of Samaria and he said what? [are] the Jews feeble doing ¿ will they restore for themselves ¿ will they offer sacrifices ¿ will they finish in the day ¿ will they restore the stones from [the] heaps of debris and they [are] burned.

٣ 3 وَكَانَ طُوبِيَّا ٱلْعَمُّونِيُّ بِجَانِبِهِ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ مَا يَبْنُونَهُ إِذَا صَعِدَ ثَعْلَبٌ فَإِنَّهُ يَهْدِمُ حِجَارَةَ حَائِطِهِمِ».

And Tobiah the Ammonite [was] beside him and he said also [that] which they [are] building if it will go up a fox and it will break down [the] wall of stones their.

٤ 4 «ٱسْمَعْ يَا إِلَهَنَا، لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ صِرْنَا ٱحْتِقَارًا، وَرُدَّ تَعْيِيرَهُمْ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمْ، وَٱجْعَلْهُمْ نَهْبًا فِي أَرْضِ ٱلسَّبْيِ

Hear O God our for we are contempt and return reproach their to own head their and give them to plunder in a land of captivity.

٥ 5 وَلَا تَسْتُرْ ذُنُوبَهُمْ وَلَا تُمْحَ خَطِيَّتُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ لِأَنَّهُمْ أَغْضَبُوكَ أَمَامَ ٱلْبَانِينَ».

And may not you cover over iniquity their and sin their from to before you may not it be wiped out for they have provoked to anger to before the builders.

٦ 6 فَبَنَيْنَا ٱلسُّورَ وَٱتَّصَلَ كُلُّ ٱلسُّورِ إِلَى نِصْفِهِ وَكَانَ لِلشَّعْبِ قَلْبٌ فِي ٱلْعَمَلِ.

And we rebuilt the wall and it was joined together all the wall to middle its and it belonged a heart to the people to work.

٧ 7 وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ سَنْبَلَّطُ وَطُوبِيَّا وَٱلْعَرَبُ وَٱلْعَمُّونِيُّونَ وَٱلْأَشْدُودِيُّونَ أَنَّ أَسْوَارَ أُورُشَلِيمَ قَدْ رُمِّمَتْ وَٱلثُّغَرَ ٱبْتَدَأَتْ تُسَدُّ، غَضِبُوا جِدًّا.

And it was just when he heard Sanballat and Tobiah and the Arabs and the Ammonites and the Ashdodites that it had gone up [the] repair of [the] walls of Jerusalem that they had begun the broken down [parts] to be closed and it burned to them exceedingly.

٨ 8 وَتَآمَرُوا جَمِيعُهُمْ مَعًا أَنْ يَأْتُوا وَيُحَارِبُوا أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَعْمَلُوا بِهَا ضَرَرًا.

And they conspired all of them together to come to wage war against Jerusalem and to make for it confusion.

٩ 9 فَصَلَّيْنَا إِلَى إِلَهِنَا وَأَقَمْنَا حُرَّاسًا ضِدَّهُمْ نَهَارًا وَلَيْلًا بِسَبَبِهِمْ.

And we prayed to God our and we stationed a guard on them by day and night because of them.

١٠ 10 وَقَالَ يَهُوذَا: «قَدْ ضَعُفَتْ قُوَّةُ ٱلْحَمَّالِينَ، وَٱلتُّرَابُ كَثِيرٌ، وَنَحْنُ لَا نَقْدِرُ أَنْ نَبْنِيَ ٱلسُّورَ».

And it said Judah it has failed [the] strength of the burden-bearer[s] and the debris [is] much and we not we will be able to rebuild the wall.

١١ 11 وَقَالَ أَعْدَاؤُنَا: «لَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَلَا يَرَوْنَ حَتَّى نَدْخُلَ إِلَى وَسَطِهِمْ وَنَقْتُلَهُمْ وَنُوقِفَ ٱلْعَمَلَ».

And they said opponents our not they will know and not they will see until that we will come into [the] midst of them and we will kill them and we will put an end to the work.

١٢ 12 وَلَمَّا جَاءَ ٱلْيَهُودُ ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ بِجَانِبِهِمْ قَالُوا لَنَا عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ: «مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَمَاكِنِ ٱلَّتِي مِنْهَا رَجَعُوا إِلَيْنا».

And it was just when they came the Jews who were dwelling beside them and they said to us ten times from all the places which you will turn to us.

١٣ 13 فَأَوْقَفْتُ ٱلشَّعْبَ مِنْ أَسْفَلِ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ وَرَاءَ ٱلسُّورِ وَعَلَى ٱلْقِمَمِ، أَوْقَفْتُهُمْ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ، بِسُيُوفِهِمْ وَرِمَاحِهِمْ وَقِسِيِّهِمْ.

And I stationed from [the] lower parts of the place from behind of the wall (in the open places *QK) and I stationed the people to clans with swords their spears their and bows their.

١٤ 14 وَنَظَرْتُ وَقُمْتُ وَقُلْتُ لِلْعُظَمَاءِ وَٱلْوُلَاةِ وَلِبَقِيَّةِ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «لَا تَخَافُوهُمْ بَلِ ٱذْكُرُوا ٱلسَّيِّدَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ ٱلْمَرْهُوبَ، وَحَارِبُوا مِنْ أَجْلِ إِخْوَتِكُمْ وَبَنِيكُمْ وَبَنَاتِكُمْ وَنِسَائِكُمْ وَبُيُوتِكُمْ».

And I saw and I arose and I said to the nobles and to the officials and to [the] rest of the people may not you be afraid of them [the] Lord great and awesome remember and fight on brothers your sons your and daughters your wives your and houses your.

١٥ 15 وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَعْدَاؤُنَا أَنَّنَا قَدْ عَرَفْنَا، وَأَبْطَلَ ٱللهُ مَشُورَتَهُمْ، رَجَعْنَا كُلُّنَا إِلَى ٱلسُّورِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى شُغْلِهِ.

And it was just when they heard enemies our that it was known to us and he had frustrated God purpose their (and we returned *Qk) all of us to the wall each one to work his.

١٦ 16 وَمِنْ ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ كَانَ نِصْفُ غِلْمَانِي يَشْتَغِلُونَ فِي ٱلْعَمَلِ، وَنِصْفُهُمْ يُمْسِكُونَ ٱلرِّمَاحَ وَٱلْأَتْرَاسَ وَٱلْقِسِيَّ وَٱلدُّرُوعَ. وَٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ وَرَاءَ كُلِّ بَيْتِ يَهُوذَا.

And it was - from the day that half of young men my [were] doing the work and half of them [were] holding and the spears the shields and the bows and the body armor and the commanders [were] behind all [the] house of Judah.

١٧ 17 ٱلْبَانُونَ عَلَى ٱلسُّورِ بَنَوْا وَحَامِلُو ٱلْأَحْمَالِ حَمَلُوا. بِٱلْيَدِ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلْعَمَلَ، وَبِالْأُخْرَى يَمْسِكُونَ ٱلسِّلَاحَ.

Who were rebuilding the wall and the [ones who] were carrying in burden [were] carrying [it] with [the] one hand his doing the work and one [hand] [was] holding the weapon.

١٨ 18 وَكَانَ ٱلْبَانُونَ يَبْنُونَ، وَسَيْفُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مَرْبُوطٌ عَلَى جَنْبِهِ، وَكَانَ ٱلنَّافِخُ بِٱلْبُوقِ بِجَانِبِي.

And the builders each one sword his [were] girded on hips his and [were] building and the [one who] gave a blast on the ram's horn [was] beside me.

١٩ 19 فَقُلْتُ لِلْعُظَمَاءِ وَٱلْوُلَاةِ وَلِبَقِيَّةِ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «ٱلْعَمَلُ كَثِيرٌ وَمُتَّسِعٌ وَنَحْنُ مُتَفَرِّقُونَ عَلَى ٱلسُّورِ وَبَعِيدُونَ بَعْضُنَا عَنْ بَعْضٍ.

And I said to the nobles and to the officials and to [the] rest of the people the work [is] much and extensive and we [are] separate on the wall distant each from brother his.

٢٠ 20 فَٱلْمَكَانُ ٱلَّذِي تَسْمَعُونَ مِنْهُ صَوْتَ ٱلْبُوقِ هُنَاكَ تَجْتَمِعُونَ إِلَيْنَا. إِلَهُنَا يُحَارِبُ عَنَّا».

In [the] place where you will hear [the] sound of the ram's horn there towards you will assemble to us God our he will fight for us.

٢١ 21 فَكُنَّا نَحْنُ نَعْمَلُ ٱلْعَمَلَ، وَكَانَ نِصْفُهُمْ يَمْسِكُونَ ٱلرِّمَاحَ مِنْ طُلُوعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ إِلَى ظُهُورِ ٱلنُّجُومِ.

And we [were] doing the work and half of them [were] keeping hold on spears from when came up the dawn until came out the stars.

٢٢ 22 وَقُلْتُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ أَيْضًا لِلشَّعْبِ: «لِيَبِتْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مَعَ غُلَامِهِ فِي وَسْطِ أُورُشَلِيمَ لِيَكُونُوا لَنَا حُرَّاسًا فِي ٱللَّيْلِ وَلِلْعَمَلِ فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ».

Also at the time that I said to the people each one and servant his let them spend [the] night in [the] midst of Jerusalem and they will be for us the night a guard and the day work.

٢٣ 23 وَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَنَا وَلَا إِخْوَتِي وَلَا غِلْمَانِي وَلَا ٱلْحُرَّاسُ ٱلَّذِينَ وَرَائِي نَخْلَعُ ثِيَابَنَا. كَانَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَذْهَبُ بِسِلَاحِهِ إِلَى ٱلْمَاءِ.

And not I and brothers my and servants my and [the] men of the guard who [were] behind me not we [were] stripping off clothes our each one weapon his the water.
