Chapter 4
1
A kad ču Sanavalat da zidamo zid, razgnevi se i rasrdi se vrlo, i rugaše se Jevrejima,
2
i govoraše pred braćom svojom i vojnicima samarijskim: Šta rade ti nemoćni Judejci? Hoćemo li ih ostaviti? Hoće li prinositi žrtve? Hoće li sada svršiti? Eda li će u život povratiti iz praha kamenje spaljeno?
3
A Tovija Amonac koji beše uza nj reče: Neka zidaju; da lisica dođe provaliće kameni zid njihov.
4
Čuj, Bože naš, kako nas preziru; obrati rug njihov na njihovu glavu, i daj da budu grabež u zemlji gde bi robovali.
5
I ne pokrivaj bezakonja njihova, i greh njihov da se ne izbriše pred Tobom, jer Te dražiše za one koji zidaju.
6
I tako zidasmo zid, i sav se zid sastavi do polovine, i narod imaše volju da radi.
7
A kad ču Sanavalat i Tovija i Arapi i Amonci i Azoćani da se popravlja zid jerusalimski i da se počelo zatvarati šta je provaljeno, razgneviše se vrlo;
8
i složiše se svi zajedno da dođu i da udare na Jerusalim i da smetu.
9
A mi se molismo Bogu svom i postavljasmo stražu prema njima dan i noć od straha njihovog.
10
A Judejci rekoše: Klonula je snaga nosiocima, a praha ima mnogo, ne možemo zidati zida.
11
A naši neprijatelji rekoše: Da ne doznadu i ne opaze dokle ne dođemo usred njih, pa ćemo ih pobiti i prekinuti posao.
12
Ali dođoše Judejci koji kod njih življahu i kazaše nam deset puta: Čuvajte sva mesta kuda se ide k nama.
13
Tada namestih narod u nizinama iza zida i na strmenima, postavih narod po porodicama sa mačevima i kopljima i lukovima.
14
I razgledavši ustah i rekoh starešinama i glavarima i ostalom narodu: Ne bojte ih se. Pomenite Gospoda velikog i strašnog, i bijte se za braću svoju, za sinove svoje i kćeri svoje, za žene svoje i kuće svoje.
15
A kad čuše neprijatelji naši da smo doznali, razbi Gospod njihovu nameru, i mi se vratismo svi k zidu, svaki na svoj posao.
16
I od tada polovina mojih momaka poslovaše, a druga polovina držaše koplja i štitove i lukove i oklope, i knezovi stajahu iza svega doma Judinog.
17
I koji zidahu i koji nošahu teret i koji tovarahu svaki jednom rukom rađaše, a u drugoj držaše koplje.
18
A koji zidahu, svaki imahu mač pripisan uz bedricu i tako zidahu. A trubač stajaše kod mene.
19
Jer rekoh starešinama i glavarima i ostalom narodu: Posao je velik i dug i mi smo se rasuli po zidu daleko jedan od drugog.
20
Gde čujete trubu da trubi, onamo trčite k nama; Bog naš vojevaće za nas.
21
Tako rađasmo posao, i polovina ih držaše koplja od zora pa dokle zvezde ne iziđu.
22
U to vreme još rekoh narodu: Svaki sa momkom svojim neka noćuje u Jerusalimu da bi nam noću stražili, a danju radili.
23
A ja i moja braća i momci moji i stražari što idu za mnom nećemo svlačiti sa sebe haljina; u svakog da je mač i voda.
Nehemiah
Chapter 4
1
But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews.
2
And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?
3
Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall.
4
Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in the land of captivity:
5
And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.
6
So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
7
¶ But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,
8
And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
9
Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
10
And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.
11
And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.
12
And it came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times, From all places whence ye shall return unto us they will be upon you.
13
¶ Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
14
And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
15
And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.
16
And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.
17
They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.
18
For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.
19
¶ And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another.
20
In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us.
21
So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.
22
Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour on the day.
23
So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, none of us put off our clothes, saving that every one put them off for washing.
