Неемия 6
Библия, синодално издание
6 (A)Когато чуха Санавалат, Товия и Гешем, арабец, и другите наши неприятели, че аз иззидах стената, и повреда на нея не остана – до това време обаче не бях поставил още врата на портите, –
2 тогава Санавалат и Гешем пратиха да ми кажат: дойди, и ще се срещнем в едно от селата в равнината Оно. Те крояха да ми сторят зло.
3 Но аз проводих пратеници да им кажат: зает съм с голяма работа, не мога да сляза; работата ще спре, ако я оставя и сляза при вас.
4 Четири пъти пращаха при мене все с такава покана, и аз им отговарях същото.
5 Тогава Санавалат прати при мене, за пети път, слугата си с отворено писмо в ръката му.
6 В него беше писано: мълва се носи между народите, и Гешем казва, че уж ти и иудеите сте намислили да се отцепите, поради което и зидаш стената и искаш да им бъдеш цар, според същата мълва;
7 поставил си и пророци да разгласяват за тебе в Иерусалим и да казват: цар иудейски! А такива думи ще дойдат до царя. Затова дойди, и ще се посъветваме заедно.
8 Но аз пратих да му кажат: нищо такова не е имало, за каквото говориш; сам си го измислил с ума си.
9 Защото те всички ни плашеха, думайки: ще им клепнат ръцете от тая работа, и тя няма да се свърши; но аз още повече укрепих ръцете си.
10 Отидох в къщата на Шемая, син на Делая, син Мехетавелов, и той се заключи и каза: да идем в Божия дом, вътре в храма, и да заключим подире си храмовите врата, защото ще дойдат да те убият, ще дойдат да те убият нощем.
11 (B)Но аз отговорих: бива ли да бяга такъв човек като мене? Бива ли такъв като мене да влезе в храма, за да остане жив? Не отивам.
12 Аз знаех, че не го бе пратил Бог, макар че ми говореше пророчески, – но че Товия и Санавалат го бяха подкупили.
13 Той беше подкупен, за да ме уплаши, да сторя тъй и да съгреша, та да имат за мене лошо мнение и да ме преследват за това с укори.
14 Помни, Боже мой, Товия и Санавалата според тези им дела, а също и пророчица Ноадия и другите пророци, които искаха да ме уплашат!
15 Стената биде свършена в двайсет и петия ден на месец елул, за петдесет и два дена.
16 (C)Като чуха за това всички наши неприятели, и видяха това всички околни нам народи, много се обезсърчиха и познаха, че тая работа е извършена от нашия Бог.
17 Освен това, в ония дни по-видните иудеи писаха много писма и ги пращаха до Товия, а Товиевите писма отиваха при тях.
18 Защото мнозина в Иудея бяха в клетвен съюз с него, понеже той беше зет на Шехания, син Арахов, а син му Иоханан беше женен за дъщерята на Мешулама, син Верехиев.
19 Те говореха пред мене дори и за неговата доброта, а моите думи се донасяха нему. Товия ми пращаше писма, за да ме уплаши.

Nuovi ostacoli superati da Neemia. Compimento dell'opera
6 (A)Quando Samballat, Tobia e Ghesem, l'Arabo, e gli altri nostri nemici ebbero udito che avevo ricostruito le mura e che non c'era piú rimasta nessuna breccia, sebbene allora non avessi ancora messo i battenti alle porte, 2 Samballat e Ghesem mi mandarono a dire: «Vieni, e troviamoci assieme in uno dei villaggi della valle di Ono». Essi volevano farmi del male. 3 Io mandai loro dei messaggeri per dire: «Io sto facendo un gran lavoro, e non posso scendere. Il lavoro rimarrebbe sospeso se io lo lasciassi per scendere da voi». 4 Quattro volte essi mandarono a dirmi la stessa cosa, e io risposi loro allo stesso modo. 5 Allora Samballat mi mandò a dire la stessa cosa una quinta volta per mezzo del suo servo che aveva in mano una lettera aperta, 6 nella quale stava scritto: «Corre voce fra queste popolazioni, e Gasmu l'afferma, che tu e i Giudei meditate di ribellarvi; e che perciò tu ricostruisci le mura; e, stando a quel che si dice, tu dovresti diventare loro re, 7 e avresti perfino costituito dei *profeti per farti proclamare re di *Giuda a *Gerusalemme. Questi discorsi saranno riferiti al re. Vieni dunque, e parliamone assieme». 8 Io gli feci rispondere: «Le cose non stanno come tu dici, ma sei tu che le inventi!» 9 Tutta quella gente voleva impaurirci e diceva: «Perderanno il coraggio e il lavoro non si farà piú».
Ma ora, o Dio, fortificami!
10 Io andai a casa di Semaia, figlio di Delaia, figlio di Metabeel. Or egli se ne stava rinchiuso là. E mi disse: «Troviamoci assieme nella casa di Dio, dentro il *tempio; e chiudiamo le porte del tempio; perché essi verranno a ucciderti, e verranno a ucciderti di notte». 11 Ma io risposi: «Un uomo come me si dà forse alla fuga? Un uomo come me potrebbe entrare nel tempio e vivere? No, io non vi entrerò». 12 Io compresi che egli non era mandato da Dio, ma aveva pronunziato quella profezia contro di me, perché Tobia e Samballat lo avevano pagato. 13 Lo avevano pagato per impaurirmi e spingermi ad agire a quel modo e a peccare, per avere un precedente che mi causasse una cattiva reputazione e il disonore.
14 O mio Dio, ricòrdati di Tobia, di Samballat, e di queste loro opere! Ricòrdati anche della profetessa Noadia e degli altri profeti che hanno cercato di spaventarmi!
15 Le mura furono portate a termine il venticinquesimo giorno di Elul, in cinquantadue giorni. 16 E quando tutti i nostri nemici lo seppero, tutte le nazioni circostanti furono prese da timore, e provarono una grande umiliazione perché riconobbero che questa opera si era compiuta con l'aiuto del nostro Dio.
17 In quei giorni, anche dei notabili di Giuda mandavano frequenti lettere a Tobia, e ne ricevevano da Tobia, 18 poiché molti in Giuda gli erano legati per giuramento perché egli era genero di Secania figlio di Ara, e Iocanan, suo figlio, aveva sposato la figlia di Mesullam, figlio di Berechia.
19 Essi dicevano bene di lui perfino in mia presenza, e gli riferivano le mie parole. E Tobia mandava lettere per impaurirmi.

Further Opposition to the Rebuilding
6 When word came to Sanballat, Tobiah,(A) Geshem(B) the Arab and the rest of our enemies that I had rebuilt the wall and not a gap was left in it—though up to that time I had not set the doors in the gates— 2 Sanballat and Geshem sent me this message: “Come, let us meet together in one of the villages[a] on the plain of Ono.(C)”
But they were scheming to harm me; 3 so I sent messengers to them with this reply: “I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and go down to you?” 4 Four times they sent me the same message, and each time I gave them the same answer.
5 Then, the fifth time, Sanballat(D) sent his aide to me with the same message, and in his hand was an unsealed letter 6 in which was written:
“It is reported among the nations—and Geshem[b](E) says it is true—that you and the Jews are plotting to revolt, and therefore you are building the wall. Moreover, according to these reports you are about to become their king 7 and have even appointed prophets to make this proclamation about you in Jerusalem: ‘There is a king in Judah!’ Now this report will get back to the king; so come, let us meet together.”
8 I sent him this reply: “Nothing like what you are saying is happening; you are just making it up out of your head.”
9 They were all trying to frighten us, thinking, “Their hands will get too weak for the work, and it will not be completed.”
But I prayed, “Now strengthen my hands.”
10 One day I went to the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was shut in at his home. He said, “Let us meet in the house of God, inside the temple(F), and let us close the temple doors, because men are coming to kill you—by night they are coming to kill you.”
11 But I said, “Should a man like me run away? Or should someone like me go into the temple to save his life? I will not go!” 12 I realized that God had not sent him, but that he had prophesied against me(G) because Tobiah and Sanballat(H) had hired him. 13 He had been hired to intimidate me so that I would commit a sin by doing this, and then they would give me a bad name to discredit me.(I)
14 Remember(J) Tobiah and Sanballat,(K) my God, because of what they have done; remember also the prophet(L) Noadiah and how she and the rest of the prophets(M) have been trying to intimidate me. 15 So the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of Elul, in fifty-two days.
Opposition to the Completed Wall
16 When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and lost their self-confidence, because they realized that this work had been done with the help of our God.
17 Also, in those days the nobles of Judah were sending many letters to Tobiah, and replies from Tobiah kept coming to them. 18 For many in Judah were under oath to him, since he was son-in-law to Shekaniah son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam son of Berekiah. 19 Moreover, they kept reporting to me his good deeds and then telling him what I said. And Tobiah sent letters to intimidate me.

6 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.
