Capítulo 6
1
Kad su Sanbalat, Tobija, Gešem Arapin i ostali naši neprijatelji dočuli da sam obnovio zid i da nije u njemu ostalo pukotine - do toga vremena nisam zapravo bio namjestio krila na vratima -
2
poručiše mi Sanbalat i Gešem: “Dođi da se sastanemo u Kefiri, u Dolini ononskoj.” Ali su mi oni zlo mislili.
3
Zato sam im poslao glasnike s ovim odgovorom: “Zauzet sam velikim poslom i ne mogu sići: posao bi zastao kad bih ga ostavio da dođem k vama!”
4
Četiri su mi puta slali isti poziv i ja sam im odvraćao isti odgovor.
5
Tada, peti put, s istom nakanom, posla mi Sanbalat svoga slugu s otvorenim pismom.
6
U njemu je pisalo: “Čuje se u narodima - a Gašmu potvrđuje - da se ti i Židovi spremate na bunu; zato da i gradiš zid i da želiš postati njihovim kraljem, kako vele.
7
I da si postavio proroke da proglase tvoj uspjeh u Jeruzalemu i da kažu: Judeja ima kralja! Sada će ti glasovi stići kralju do ušiju: zato dođi da se posavjetujemo.”
8
Ali sam mu ja odgovorio: “Ništa nije tako kao što tvrdiš; sve je to samo izmišljotina tvoga srca.”
9
Jer su nas oni htjeli uplašiti govoreći: “Klonut će im ruke od posla i neće ga završiti nikada.” A ja sam, naprotiv, ukrijepio ruke svoje!
10
Pošao sam Šemaji, sinu Delaje, sina Mehetabelova, koji se bijaše zatvorio u svojoj kući. On mi objavi: “Nađimo se u Domu Božjemu, usred Hekala, i zatvorimo vrata Hekala jer će doći da te ubiju. Jest, još noćas doći će da te ubiju!”
11
A ja odgovorih: “Zar da bježi čovjek kao što sam ja? Koji čovjek, meni sličan, može ući u Hekal i ostati živ? Ne, ja ne idem.”
12
I tada razabrah: nije ga poslao Bog, nego mi je objavio proroštvo, jer su ga Tobija i Sanbalat podmitili,
13
da bih, uplašen, učinio onako te sagriješio. To bi im poslužilo da me ozloglase i da mi se rugaju!
14
Sjeti se, Bože moj, Tobije i Sanbalata prema ovim njihovim djelima, a i proročice Noadje i ostalih proroka što me htjedoše uplašiti.
15
Zid je završen dvadeset i petog Elula, za pedeset i dva dana.
16
A kad su čuli svi naši neprijatelji i vidjeli svi pogani oko nas, bilo je to čudo u očima njihovim, jer su shvatili da je Bog naš učinio to djelo.
17
A onih dana mnogi su židovski velikaši često slali svoja pisma Tobiji i mnoga su primali od Tobije.
18
Jer u Judeji bijahu mnogi s njime zakletvom povezani: tÓa bio je u rodu sa Šekanijom, sinom Arahovim, i sinom njegovim Johananom, koji je uzeo za ženu kćer Mešulama, sina Berekjina.
19
I veličali su preda mnom njegova djela, a njemu prenosili moje riječi. Zato je Tobija i slao pisma da me uplaši.
Nehemiah
Capítulo 6
1
Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates;)
2
That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.
3
And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?
4
Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner.
5
Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;
6
Wherein was written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words.
7
And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.
8
Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.
9
For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands.
10
Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee.
11
And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.
12
And, lo, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
13
Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me.
14
My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.
15
¶ So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.
16
And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.
17
¶ Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came unto them.
18
For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son in law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.
19
Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
