1 A kad ču Sanavalat da zidamo zid, razgnevi se i rasrdi se vrlo, i rugaše se Jevrejima,
1 But when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry, and was very indignant, and mocked the Jews.
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?
2 He spoke before his brothers and the army of Samaria, and said, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they fortify themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, since they are burned?”
3 A Tovija Amonac koji beše uza nj reče: Neka zidaju; da lisica dođe provaliće kameni zid njihov.
3 Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, “What they are building, if a fox climbed up it, he would break down their stone wall.”
4 Čuj, Bože naš, kako nas preziru; obrati rug njihov na njihovu glavu, i daj da budu grabež u zemlji gde bi robovali.
4 “Hear, our God, for we are despised. Turn back their reproach on their own head. Give them up for a plunder in a land of captivity.
5 I ne pokrivaj bezakonja njihova, i greh njihov da se ne izbriše pred Tobom, jer Te dražiše za one koji zidaju.
5 Don’t cover their iniquity. Don’t let their sin be blotted out from before you; for they have insulted the builders.”
6 I tako zidasmo zid, i sav se zid sastavi do polovine, i narod imaše volju da radi.
6 So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.
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;
7 But when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabians, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem went forward, and that the breaches began to be filled, they were very angry;
8 i složiše se svi zajedno da dođu i da udare na Jerusalim i da smetu.
8 and they all conspired together to come and fight against Jerusalem, and to cause confusion among us.
9 A mi se molismo Bogu svom i postavljasmo stražu prema njima dan i noć od straha njihovog.
9 But we made our prayer to our God, and set a watch against them day and night because of them.
10 A Judejci rekoše: Klonula je snaga nosiocima, a praha ima mnogo, ne možemo zidati zida.
10 Judah said, “The strength of the bearers of burdens is fading and there is much rubble, so that we are not able to build the wall.”
11 A naši neprijatelji rekoše: Da ne doznadu i ne opaze dokle ne dođemo usred njih, pa ćemo ih pobiti i prekinuti posao.
11 Our adversaries said, “They will not know or see, until we come in among them and kill them, and cause the work to cease.”
12 Ali dođoše Judejci koji kod njih življahu i kazaše nam deset puta: Čuvajte sva mesta kuda se ide k nama.
12 When the Jews who lived by them came, they said to us ten times from all places, “Wherever you turn, they will attack us.”
13 Tada namestih narod u nizinama iza zida i na strmenima, postavih narod po porodicama sa mačevima i kopljima i lukovima.
13 Therefore I set guards in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in the open places. I set the people by family groups with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
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.
14 I looked, and rose up, and said to the nobles, to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, “Don’t be afraid of them! Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.”
15 A kad čuše neprijatelji naši da smo doznali, razbi Gospod njihovu nameru, i mi se vratismo svi k zidu, svaki na svoj posao.
15 When our enemies heard that it was known to us, and God had brought their counsel to nothing, all of us returned to the wall, everyone to his work.
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.
16 From that time forth, half of my servants did the work, and half of them held the spears, the shields, the bows, and the coats of mail; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.
17 I koji zidahu i koji nošahu teret i koji tovarahu svaki jednom rukom rađaše, a u drugoj držaše koplje.
17 Those who built the wall, and those who bore burdens loaded themselves; everyone with one of his hands did the work, and with the other held his weapon.
18 A koji zidahu, svaki imahu mač pripisan uz bedricu i tako zidahu. A trubač stajaše kod mene.
18 Among the builders, everyone wore his sword at his side, and so built. He who sounded the trumpet was by me.
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.
19 I said to the nobles, and to the rulers and to the rest of the people, “The work is great and widely spread out, and we are separated on the wall, far from one another.
20 Gde čujete trubu da trubi, onamo trčite k nama; Bog naš vojevaće za nas.
20 Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally there to us. Our God will fight for us.”
21 Tako rađasmo posao, i polovina ih držaše koplja od zora pa dokle zvezde ne iziđu.
21 So we did the work. Half of the people held the spears from the rising of the morning until the stars appeared.
22 U to vreme još rekoh narodu: Svaki sa momkom svojim neka noćuje u Jerusalimu da bi nam noću stražili, a danju radili.
22 Likewise at the same time I said to the people, “Let everyone with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and may labor in the day.”
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.
23 So neither I, nor my brothers, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me took off our clothes. Everyone took his weapon to the water.
