Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1When Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had rebuilt the wall and not a gap was left—though to that time I had not yet installed the doors in the gates—
1参巴拉 、 多比雅 、 阿拉伯 人 基善 和我们其余的仇敌听见我已经修完了城墙，其中没有破裂之处（那时我还没有安门扇），
2Sanballat and Geshem sent me this message: “Come, let us meet together in one of the villages on the plain of Ono.” But they were planning to harm me.
2参巴拉 和 基善 就打发人来见我，说：「请你来，我们在 阿挪 平原的一个村庄相会。」他们却想害我。
3So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it to go down to you?”
3于是我差遣人去见他们，说：「我现在办理大工，不能下去。焉能停工下去见你们呢？」
4Four times they sent me the same message, and each time I gave the same reply.
4他们这样四次打发人来见我，我都如此回答他们。
5The fifth time, Sanballat sent me this same message by his young servant, who had in his hand an unsealed letter
5参巴拉 第五次打发仆人来见我，手里拿着未封的信，
6that read: “It is reported among the nations—and Geshem agrees—that you and the Jews are plotting to revolt, and this is why you are building the wall. According to these reports, you are to become their king,
6信上写着说：「外邦人中有风声， 迦施慕 也说，你和 犹大 人谋反，修造城墙，你要作他们的王；
7and you have even appointed prophets in Jerusalem to proclaim on your behalf: ‘There is a king in Judah.’ Soon these rumors will reach the ears of the king. So come, let us confer together.”
7你又派先知在 耶路撒冷 指着你宣讲，说在 犹大 有王。现在这话必传与王知；所以请你来，与我们彼此商议。」
8Then I sent him this reply: “There is nothing to these rumors you are spreading; you are inventing them in your own mind.”
8我就差遣人去见他，说：「你所说的这事，一概没有，是你心里捏造的。」
9For they were all trying to frighten us, saying, “Their hands will be weakened in the work, and it will never be finished.” But now, my God, strengthen my hands.
9他们都要使我们惧怕，意思说，他们的手必软弱，以致工作不能成就。 神啊 ，求你坚固我的手。
10Later, I went to the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was confined to his house. He said: “Let us meet at the house of God inside the temple. Let us shut the temple doors because they are coming to kill you— by night they are coming to kill you!”
10我到了 米希大别 的孙子、 第来雅 的儿子 示玛雅 家里；那时，他闭门不出。他说：「我们不如在 神的殿里会面，将殿门关锁；因为他们要来杀你，就是夜里来杀你。」
11But I replied, “Should a man like me run away? Should one like me go into the temple to save his own life? I will not go!”
11我说：「像我这样的人岂要逃跑呢？像我这样的人岂能进入殿里保全生命呢？我不进去！」
12I realized that God had not sent him, but that he had uttered this prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
12我看明 神没有差遣他，是他自己说这话攻击我，是 多比雅 和 参巴拉 贿买了他。
13He had been hired to intimidate me so that I would sin by doing as he suggested, so they could give me a bad name in order to discredit me.
13贿买他的缘故，是要叫我惧怕，依从他犯罪，他们好传扬恶言毁谤我。
14O my God, remember Tobiah and Sanballat for what they have done, and also Noadiah the prophetess and the other prophets who tried to intimidate me.
14我的 神啊， 多比雅 、 参巴拉 、女先知 挪亚底 ，和其余的先知要叫我惧怕，求你记念他们所行的这些事。
15So the wall was completed in fifty-two days, on the twenty-fifth of Elul.
15以禄 月 二十五 日 ，城墙修完了，共修了五十二天。
16When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and disheartened, for they realized that this task had been accomplished by our God.
16我们一切仇敌、四围的外邦人听见了便惧怕，愁眉不展；因为见这工作完成是出乎我们的 神。
17Also in those days, the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and Tobiah’s letters came back to them.
17在那些日子， 犹大 的贵胄屡次寄信与 多比雅 ， 多比雅 也来 信 与他们。
18For many in Judah were bound by oath to him, since he was a son-in-law of Shecaniah son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam son of Berechiah.
18在 犹大 有许多人与 多比雅 结盟；因他是 亚拉 的儿子， 示迦尼 的女婿，并且他的儿子 约哈难 娶了 比利迦 儿子 米书兰 的女儿为妻。
19Moreover, these nobles kept reporting to me Tobiah’s good deeds, and they relayed my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to intimidate me.
19他们常在我面前说 多比雅 的善行，也将我的话传与他。 多比雅 又常寄信来，要叫我惧怕。
