尼希米記 6
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1參巴拉 、 多比雅 、 阿拉伯 人 基善 和我們其餘的仇敵聽見我已經修完了城牆，其中沒有破裂之處（那時我還沒有安門扇）的，
1Now when it was reported to Sanballat, Tobiah, 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),
2參巴拉 和 基善 就打發人來見我，說：「請你來，我們在 阿挪 平原的一個村莊相會。」他們卻想害我。
2Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come! Let’s meet together in the villages in the plain of Ono.” But they intended to harm me.
3於是我差遣人去見他們，說：「我現在辦理大工，不能下去。焉能停工下去見你們呢？」
3I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work, so that I can’t come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and come down to you?”
4他們這樣四次打發人來見我，我都如此回答他們。
4They sent to me four times like this; and I answered them the same way.
5參巴拉 第五次打發僕人來見我，手裏拿着未封的信，
5Then Sanballat sent his servant to me the same way the fifth time with an open letter in his hand,
6信上寫着說：「外邦人中有風聲， 迦施慕 也說，你和 猶大 人謀反，修造城牆，你要作他們的王；
6in which was written, “It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu says it, that you and the Jews intend to rebel. Because of that, you are building the wall. You would be their king, according to these words.
7你又派先知在 耶路撒冷 指着你宣講，說在 猶大 有王。現在這話必傳與王知；所以請你來，與我們彼此商議。」
7You have also appointed prophets to proclaim of you at Jerusalem, saying, ‘There is a king in Judah!’ Now it will be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let’s take counsel together.”
8我就差遣人去見他，說：「你所說的這事，一概沒有，是你心裏捏造的。」
8Then I sent to him, saying, “There are no such things done as you say, but you imagine them out of your own heart.”
9他們都要使我們懼怕，意思說，他們的手必軟弱，以致工作不能成就。 上帝啊 ，求你堅固我的手。
9For they all would have made us afraid, saying, “Their hands will be weakened from the work, that it not be done.” But now, strengthen my hands.
10我到了 米希大別 的孫子、 第來雅 的兒子 示瑪雅 家裏；那時，他閉門不出。他說：「我們不如在上帝的殿裏會面，將殿門關鎖；因為他們要來殺你，就是夜裏來殺你。」
10I went to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut in at his home; and he said, “Let us meet together in God’s house, within the temple, and let’s shut the doors of the temple; for they will come to kill you. Yes, in the night they will come to kill you.”
11我說：「像我這樣的人豈要逃跑呢？像我這樣的人豈能進入殿裏保全生命呢？我不進去！」
11I said, “Should a man like me flee? Who is there that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.”
12我看明上帝沒有差遣他，是他自己說這話攻擊我，是 多比雅 和 參巴拉 賄買了他。
12I discerned, and behold, God had not sent him, but he pronounced this prophecy against me. Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
13賄買他的緣故，是要叫我懼怕，依從他犯罪，他們好傳揚惡言毀謗我。
13He was hired so that I would be afraid, do so, and sin, and that they might have material for an evil report, that they might reproach me.
14我的上帝啊， 多比雅 、 參巴拉 、女先知 挪亞底 ，和其餘的先知要叫我懼怕，求你記念他們所行的這些事。
14“Remember, my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah and the rest of the prophets that would have put me in fear.”
15以祿 月 二十五 日 ，城牆修完了，共修了五十二天。
15So the wall was finished in the twenty-fifth day of Elul, in fifty-two days.
16我們一切仇敵、四圍的外邦人聽見了便懼怕，愁眉不展；因為見這工作完成是出乎我們的上帝。
16When all our enemies heard of it, all the nations that were around us were afraid, and they lost their confidence; for they perceived that this work was done by our God.
17在那些日子， 猶大 的貴冑屢次寄信與 多比雅 ， 多比雅 也來 信 與他們。
17Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and Tobiah’s letters came to them.
18在 猶大 有許多人與 多比雅 結盟；因他是 亞拉 的兒子， 示迦尼 的女婿，並且他的兒子 約哈難 娶了 比利迦 兒子 米書蘭 的女兒為妻。
18For 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 as wife.
19他們常在我面前說 多比雅 的善行，也將我的話傳與他。 多比雅 又常寄信來，要叫我懼怕。
19Also they spoke of his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
