- Now it came about that when Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, he became furious and very angry and mocked the Jews.
- He spoke in the presence of his brothers and the wealthy men of Samaria and said, "What are these feeble Jews doing? Are they going to restore it for themselves? Can they offer sacrifices? Can they finish in a day? Can they revive the stones from the dusty rubble even the burned ones?"
- Now Tobiah the Ammonite was near him and he said, "Even what they are building--if a fox should jump on it, he would break their stone wall down!"
- Hear, O our God, how we are despised! Return their reproach on their own heads and give them up for plunder in a land of captivity.
- Do not forgive their iniquity and let not their sin be blotted out before You, for they have demoralized the builders.

- サンバラト と トビヤ ， それに アラブ 人， アンモン 人， アシュドド の 市民は， エルサレム の 城壁の 再建が 進み， 破損の 修復が 始まったと 聞いて， 大いに 怒った．
- 彼らは 皆で 共謀して エルサレム に 攻め 上り， 混亂に 陷れようとした．
- わたしたちはわたしたちの 神に 祈り， ¿夜彼らに 對し， 彼らから 身を 守るために 警戒した．
- しかし， ユダ もこう 言うのだった． 「もっこを 擔ぐ 力は 弱り ／土くれの 山はまだ 大きい． 城壁の 再建など ／わたしたちにはできません． 」
- わたしたちの 敵はこう 言っていた． 「氣づかれず， 見つからないように 侵入し， 彼らを 打ち 殺して， 工事をやめさせよう． 」

- So we built the wall and the whole wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.
- Now when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites and the Ashdodites heard that the repair of the walls of Jerusalem went on, and that the breaches began to be closed, they were very angry.
- All of them conspired together to come and fight against Jerusalem and to cause a disturbance in it.
- But we prayed to our God, and because of them we set up a guard against them day and night.
- Thus in Judah it was said, "The strength of the burden bearers is failing, Yet there is much rubbish; And we ourselves are unable To rebuild the wall."
|
- 彼らの 近くに 住む ユダ の 人¿がやって 來て， 十度もわたしたちに， 「あなたたちが 戾ると， あらゆるところからわたしたちは 攻められます 」と 言った．
- そこでわたしは 城壁外の 低い 所， むき 出しになった 所に， 各家族の 戰鬪員を， 劍と 槍と 弓を 持たせて 配置した．
- わたしは 見回して 立ち， 貴族や 役人やその 他の 戰鬪員に 言った． 「敵を 恐れるな． 偉大にして 畏るべき 主の 御名を 唱えて， 兄弟のため， 息子のため， 娘のため， 妻のため， 家のために 戰え． 」
- わたしたちが 氣づき， 神がその 計略を 破られたことを 敵が 知ったので， わたしたちは 皆， 城壁に 戾り， それぞれ 自分の 作業に 就いた．
- その 日からわたしの 部下たちは， 半分が 作業に 從事し， 他の 半分が 槍と 盾， 弓と 鎧を 身に 着け， 將校たちが ユダ の 家全體の 背後に 控えた．

- Our enemies said, "They will not know or see until we come among them, kill them and put a stop to the work."
- When the Jews who lived near them came and told us ten times, "They will come up against us from every place where you may turn,"
- then I stationed men in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, the exposed places, and I stationed the people in families with their swords, spears and bows.
- When I saw their fear, I rose and spoke to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people: "Do not 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."
- When our enemies heard that it was known to us, and that God had frustrated their plan, then all of us returned to the wall, each one to his work.
|
- 城壁を 築く 者， もっこを 擔いで 運ぶ 者は， 一方の 手で 作業をし， もう 一方の 手には 投げ 槍を 取った．
- 建築作業をする 者は， 各自腰に 劍を 帶びて 作業した． わたしはそばに 角笛を 吹く 者をつけた．
- わたしは 貴族と 役人と 他の 戰鬪員に 言った． 「仕事が 多く， 範圍は 廣い． わたしたちは 互いに 遠く 離れて 城壁の 上に 散らばっている．
- 角笛の 音を 聞いたら， わたしたちのもとに 集まれ． わたしたちの 神はわたしたちのために 戰ってくださる． 」
- 夜が 明けてから 星が 現れるころまでわたしたちは 作業に 就き， 部下の 半分は 槍を 手にしていた．
|
- From that day on, half of my servants carried on the work while half of them held the spears, the shields, the bows and the breastplates; and the captains were behind the whole house of Judah.
- Those who were rebuilding the wall and those who carried burdens took their load with one hand doing the work and the other holding a weapon.
- As for the builders, each wore his sword girded at his side as he built, while the trumpeter stood near me.
- I said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, "The work is great and extensive, and we are separated on the wall far from one another.
- "At whatever place you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us."
|
- このころわたしは 戰鬪員に 言った． 「各自， 自分の 部下と 共に エルサレム の 城壁內で 夜を 過ごしなさい． 夜は 警備に 當たり， ¿に 仕事をしよう． 」
- わたしも， 兄弟も， 部下の 者も， わたしに 從う 警備の 者も， わたしたちはだれも， 服を 脫がずにいて， 各自投げ 槍を 右の 手にしていた．

- So we carried on the work with half of them holding spears from dawn until the stars appeared.
- At that time I also said to the people, "Let each man with his servant spend the night within Jerusalem so that they may be a guard for us by night and a laborer by day."
- So neither I, my brothers, my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us removed our clothes, each took his weapon even to the water.
