1And it came to pass, that when Sanaballat heard that we were building the wall he was angry: and being moved exceedingly he scoffed at the Jews.
1А кад чу Санавалат да зидамо зид, разгневи се и расрди се врло, и ругаше се Јеврејима,
2And said before his brethren, and the multitude of the Samaritans: What are the silly Jews doing? Will the Gentiles let them alone? will they sacrifice and make an end in a day? are they able to raise stones out of the heaps of the rubbish, which are burnt?
2и говораше пред браћом својом и војницима самаријским: Шта раде ти немоћни Јудејци? Хоћемо ли их оставити? Хоће ли приносити жртве? Хоће ли сада свршити? Еда ли ће у живот повратити из праха камење спаљено?
3Tobias also the Ammonite who was by him said: Let them build: if a fox go up, he will leap over their stone wall.
3А Товија Амонац који беше уза њ рече: Нека зидају; да лисица дође провалиће камени зид њихов.
4Hear thou our God, for we are despised: turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them to be despised in a land of captivity.
4Чуј, Боже наш, како нас презиру; обрати руг њихов на њихову главу, и дај да буду грабеж у земљи где би робовали.
5Cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thy face, because they have mocked thy builders.
5И не покривај безакоња њихова, и грех њихов да се не избрише пред Тобом, јер Те дражише за оне који зидају.
6So we built the wall, and joined it all together unto the half thereof: and the heart of the people was excited to work.
6И тако зидасмо зид, и сав се зид састави до половине, и народ имаше вољу да ради.
7And it came to pass, when Sanaballat, and Tobias, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Azotians heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and the breaches began to be closed, that they were exceedingly angry.
7А кад чу Санавалат и Товија и Арапи и Амонци и Азоћани да се поправља зид јерусалимски и да се почело затварати шта је проваљено, разгневише се врло;
8And they all assembled themselves together, to come, and to fight against Jerusalem, and to prepare ambushes.
8и сложише се сви заједно да дођу и да ударе на Јерусалим и да смету.
9And we prayed to our God, and set watchmen upon the wall day and night against them.
9А ми се молисмо Богу свом и постављасмо стражу према њима дан и ноћ од страха њиховог.
10And Juda said: The strength of the bearer of burdens is decayed, and the rubbish is very much, and we shall not be able to build the wall.
10А Јудејци рекоше: Клонула је снага носиоцима, а праха има много, не можемо зидати зида.
11And our enemies said: Let them not know, nor understand, till we come in the midst of them, and kill them, and cause the work to cease.
11А наши непријатељи рекоше: Да не дознаду и не опазе докле не дођемо усред њих, па ћемо их побити и прекинути посао.
12And it came to pass, that when the Jews that dwelt by them came and told us ten times, out of all the places from whence they came to us,
12Али дођоше Јудејци који код њих живљаху и казаше нам десет пута: Чувајте сва места куда се иде к нама.
13I set the people in the place behind the wall round about in order, with their swords, and spears, and bows.
13Тада наместих народ у низинама иза зида и на стрменима, поставих народ по породицама са мачевима и копљима и луковима.
14And I looked and rose up: and I said to the chief men and the magistrates, and to the rest of the common people: be not afraid of them. Remember the Lord who is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, and your wives, and your houses.
14И разгледавши устах и рекох старешинама и главарима и осталом народу: Не бојте их се. Помените Господа великог и страшног, и бијте се за браћу своју, за синове своје и кћери своје, за жене своје и куће своје.
15And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that the thing had been told us, that God defeated their counsel. And we returned all of us to the walls, every man to his work.
15А кад чуше непријатељи наши да смо дознали, разби Господ њихову намеру, и ми се вратисмо сви к зиду, сваки на свој посао.
16And it came to pass from that day forward, that half of their young men did the work, and half were ready for to fight, with spears, and shields, and bows, and coats of mail, and the rulers were behind them in all the house of Juda.
16И од тада половина мојих момака пословаше, а друга половина држаше копља и штитове и лукове и оклопе, и кнезови стајаху иза свега дома Јудиног.
17Of them that built on the wall and that carried burdens, and that laded: with one of his hands he did the work, and with the other he held a sword.
17И који зидаху и који ношаху терет и који товараху сваки једном руком рађаше, а у другој држаше копље.
18For every one of the builders was girded with a sword about his reins. And they built, and sounded with a trumpet by me.
18А који зидаху, сваки имаху мач приписан уз бедрицу и тако зидаху. А трубач стајаше код мене.
19And I said to the nobles, and to the magistrates, and to the rest of the common people: The work is great and wide, and we are separated on the wall one far from another:
19Јер рекох старешинама и главарима и осталом народу: Посао је велик и дуг и ми смо се расули по зиду далеко један од другог.
20In what place soever you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, run all thither unto us: our God will fight for us.
20Где чујете трубу да труби, онамо трчите к нама; Бог наш војеваће за нас.
21And let us do the work: and let one half of us hold our spears from the rising of the morning, till the stars appear.
21Тако рађасмо посао, и половина их држаше копља од зора па докле звезде не изиђу.
22At that time also I said to the people: Let every one with his servant stay in the midst of Jerusalem, and let us take our turns in the night, and by day, to work.
22У то време још рекох народу: Сваки са момком својим нека ноћује у Јерусалиму да би нам ноћу стражили, а дању радили.
23Now I and my brethren, and my servants, and the watchmen that followed me, did not put off our clothes: only every man stripped himself when he was to be washed.
23А ја и моја браћа и момци моји и стражари што иду за мном нећемо свлачити са себе хаљина; у сваког да је мач и вода.
