Nehemiah 6
1 Now it came to pass, when it was reported to Sanballat and Tobiah, and to Geshem the Arabian, and to the rest of our enemies, that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left in it, (though even to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates),
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),
2 that Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, Come, let us meet together in one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.
Tad Sanbalats un Gešems pie manis sūtīja un lika sacīt: nāc, saiesim kopā Onus klajuma ciemos. Bet tie domāja, man ļaunu darīt.
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 while I leave it, and come down to you?
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?
4 And they sent to me four times after this sort, and I answered them after the same manner.
Un tie gan četras reizes pie manis sūtīja ar šo pašu valodu, un es sūtīju pie tiem atpakaļ ar to pašu valodu.
5 Then Sanballat sent his servant to me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand
Tad Sanbalats piektā reizē pie manis sūtīja savu puisi tāpat ar neaiztaisītu grāmatu viņa rokā. Iekš tās bija rakstīts:
6 in which was written, It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu says it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel, for which cause thou are building the wall. And thou would be their king according to these words.
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, -
7 And thou have also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah. And now it shall be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.
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.
8 Then I sent to him, saying, There are no such things done as thou say, but thou imagine them out of thine own heart.
Bet es sūtīju pie viņa sacīdams: no tā, ko tu runā, nekas nav noticis; no savas sirds tu to esi izdomājis.
9 For they all would have made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work that it not be done. But now, O God, strengthen thou my hands.
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.
10 And I went to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, 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 kill thee, yea, they will come to kill thee in the night.
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.
11 And I said, Should such a man as I flee? And who is there, that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.
Bet es sacīju: vai tādam vīram, kā es, būs bēgt? Vai tādam, kā es, Dieva namā būs iet, lai paliktu dzīvs? Es neiešu.
12 And I discerned, and, lo, God had not sent him, but he pronounced this prophecy against me, and Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
Jo redzi, es manīju, ka Dievs viņu nebija sūtījis. Bet viņš runāja šo sludināšanu uz mani, tāpēc ka Tobija un Sanebalats viņu bija derējuši.
13 For this cause he was 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.
Viņš bija derēts, lai es izbīstos un tā daru un apgrēkojos, ka tie kādu ļaunu slavu atrastu, ar ko mani varētu nievāt.
14 Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, who would have put me in fear.
Piemini, mans Dievs, Tobiju un Sanbalatu pēc šiem darbiem un arī pravieti Noadiju un tos citus praviešus, kas ir meklējuši, mani darīt bailīgu!
15 So the wall was finished in the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days.
Tad nu tas mūris tapa pabeigts Elula mēneša divdesmit piektā dienā, piecdesmit divās dienās.
16 And it came to pass, when all our enemies heard of it, that all the nations that were around us feared, and were much cast down in their own eyes, for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.
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.
17 Moreover in those days the ranking men of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came to them.
Tanīs dienās arī daudz virsnieki no Jūda rakstīja grāmatas; tās tapa sūtītas pie Tobijas, un Tobija sūtīja atkal pie tiem.
18 For there were many in Judah sworn to him because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah to wife.
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.
19 Also they spoke of his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
Tie runāja arīdzan labu par viņu manā priekšā, un manus vārdus tie nonesa pie viņa; tad Tobija sūtīja grāmatas, ka tas mani biedinātu.
