Nehemiah 6
1 Now it happened that, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem, an Arab, and our other enemies, had heard that I had built the wall, and that there was no interruption remaining in it, (even though, at that time, I had not set up the double doors at 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 Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying: “Come, and let us strike a pact together in the villages, on the plain of Ono.” But they were thinking that they would do me harm.
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 Therefore, I sent messengers to them, saying: “I am doing a great work, and I cannot descend, lest perhaps it may be neglected when I go out and descend to 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 Then they sent to me, with this same word, four times. And I responded to them with the same word as before.
Vendar sta štirikrat poslala k meni na ta način, jaz pa sem jima odgovoril na isti način.
5 And Sanballat sent his servant to me a fifth time, with the former word, and he had a letter in his hand written in this manner:
Potem je Sanbalát petič k meni poslal svojega služabnika na podoben način, z odprtim pismom v svoji roki,
6 “It has been heard among the Gentiles, and Geshem has said it, that you and the Jews are planning to rebel, and because of this, you are building the wall and thinking to raise yourself as a king over them. For this reason,
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 you also have stationed prophets, who preach about you in Jerusalem, saying: ‘There is a king in Judea!’ But the king will hear about these words. Therefore, come now, so that we may go to 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 sent to them, saying: “There has been nothing done according to these words, which you have spoken. For you are inventing these things from your own heart.”
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 these men wished to frighten us, thinking that our hands would cease from the work, and that we would cease. For this reason, I strengthened my hands all the more.
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 entered into the house of Shemaiah, the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, in secret. And he said: “Let us consult together in the house of God, in the midst of the temple. And let us close the doors of the temple. For they will come to kill you, and they will arrive in the night to put you to death.”
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 said: “How could anyone like me flee? And who like me should enter the temple, so that he may live? I will not enter.”
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 understood that God had not sent him, but he had spoken to me as if he were prophesying, and that Tobiah and Sanballat had 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 For he had accepted money, so that I would be afraid, and would sin, and so that they would have some evil with which to rebuke 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 Remember me, O Lord, because of Tobiah and Sanballat, because of their works of this kind. Then, too, Noadiah, a prophetess, and the rest of the prophets, would have made 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 Now the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth day of the month of Elul, in fifty-two days.
Tako je bilo obzidje končano petindvajseti dan meseca elúla, v dvainpetdesetih dneh.
16 Then it happened that, when all our enemies had heard of it, all the nations that were around us were afraid, and they were downcast within themselves. For they knew that this work had been accomplished by God.
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 But also, in those days, many letters were being sent by the nobles of the Jews to Tobiah, and were arriving from Tobiah to them.
Poleg tega so v tistih dneh Judovi plemiči poslali mnogo pisem Tobiju in pisma od Tobija so prihajala k njim.
18 For there were many in Judea who had sworn an oath to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah, the son of Arah, and because Jehohanan, his son, had married the daughter of Meshullam, the 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 Moreover, they praised him before me, and they reported my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters, so that he might 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.
