尼希米記 Nehemiah

4:1	[hb5]	參巴拉聽見我們修造城牆就發怒、大大惱恨、嗤笑猶大人．
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	Now, Sanballat, hearing that we were building the wall, was very angry, and in his wrath made sport of the Jews.
4:2	[hb5]	對他弟兄和撒瑪利亞的軍兵說、這些軟弱的猶大人作甚麼呢．要保護自己麼．要獻祭麼．要一日成功麼．要從土堆裡拿出火燒的石頭再立牆麼。
	[kjv]	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?
	[bbe]	And in the hearing of his countrymen and the army of Samaria he said, What are these feeble Jews doing? will they make themselves strong? will they make offerings? will they get the work done in a day? will they make the stones which have been burned come again out of the dust?
4:3	[hb5]	亞捫人多比雅站在旁邊、說、他們所修造的石牆、就是狐狸上去也必跐倒。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Such is their building that if a fox goes up it, their stone wall will be broken down.
4:4	[hb5]	我們的　神阿、求你垂聽、因為我們被藐視．求你使他們的毀謗歸於他們的頭上、使他們在擄到之地作為掠物．
	[kjv]	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:
	[bbe]	Give ear, O our God, for we are looked down on: let their words of shame be turned back on themselves, and let them be given up to wasting in a land where they are prisoners:
4:5	[hb5]	不要遮掩他們的罪孽、不要使他們的罪惡從你面前塗抹．因為他們在修造的人眼前惹動你的怒氣。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	Let not their wrongdoing be covered or their sin washed away from before you: for they have made you angry before the builders.
4:6	[hb5]	這樣、我們修造城牆、城牆就都連絡、高至一半、因為百姓專心作工。
	[kjv]	So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
	[bbe]	So we went on building the wall; and all the wall was joined together half-way up: for the people were working hard.
4:7	[hb5]	參巴拉、多比雅、亞拉伯人、亞捫人、亞實突人、聽見修造耶路撒冷城牆、著手進行、堵塞破裂的地方、就甚發怒．
	[kjv]	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,
	[bbe]	But when it came to the ears of Sanballat and Tobiah and the Arabians and the Ammonites and the Ashdodites, that the building of the walls of Jerusalem was going forward and the broken places were being made good, they were full of wrath;
4:8	[hb5]	大家同謀要來攻擊耶路撒冷、使城內擾亂。
	[kjv]	And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
	[bbe]	And they made designs, all of them together, to come and make an attack on Jerusalem, causing trouble there.
4:9	[hb5]	然而我們禱告我們的　神、又因他們的緣故、就派人看守、晝夜防備。
	[kjv]	Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
	[bbe]	But we made our prayer to God, and had men on watch against them day and night because of them.
4:10	[hb5]	猶大人說、灰土尚多、扛抬的人力氣已經衰敗、所以我們不能建造城牆。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	And Judah said, The strength of the workmen is giving way, and there is much waste material; it is impossible for us to put up the wall.
4:11	[hb5]	我們的敵人且說、趁他們不知、不見、我們進入他們中間、殺他們、使工作止住。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	And those who were against us said, Without their knowledge and without their seeing us, we will come among them and put them to death, causing the work to come to a stop.
4:12	[hb5]	那靠近敵人居住的猶大人、十次從各處來見我們說、你們必要回到我們那裡。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	And it came about that when the Jews who were living near them came, they said to us ten times, From all directions they are coming against us.
4:13	[hb5]	所以我使百姓各按宗族、拿刀、拿槍、拿弓站在城牆後邊低窪的空處。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	So in the lowest part of the space at the back of the walls, in the open places, I put the people by families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
4:14	[hb5]	我察看了、就起來對貴冑、官長、和其餘的人說、不要怕他們、當記念主是大而可畏的．你們要為弟兄、兒女、妻子、家產爭戰。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	And after looking, I got up and said to the great ones and to the chiefs and to the rest of the people, Have no fear of them: keep in mind the Lord who is great and greatly to be feared, and take up arms for your brothers, your sons, and your daughters, your wives and your houses.
4:15	[hb5]	仇敵聽見我們知道他們的心意、見　神也破壞他們的計謀、就不來了。我們都回到城牆那裡、各作各的工。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	And when it came to the ears of those who were against us, that we had knowledge of their designs and that God had made their purpose come to nothing, we all went back to the wall, everyone to his work
4:16	[hb5]	從那日起、我的僕人一半作工、一半拿槍、拿盾牌、拿弓、穿鎧甲．〔穿或作拿〕官長都站在猶大眾人的後邊。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	And from that time, half of my servants were doing their part of the work, and half kept the spears and body-covers and the bows and the metal war-dresses; and the chiefs were at the back of the men of Judah.
4:17	[hb5]	修造城牆的、扛抬材料的、都一手作工、一手拿兵器。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	Those who were building the wall and those who were moving material did their part, everyone working with one hand, with his spear in the other;
4:18	[hb5]	修造的人、都腰間佩刀修造、吹角的人在我旁邊。
	[kjv]	For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.
	[bbe]	Every builder was working with his sword at his side. And by my side was a man for sounding the horn.
4:19	[hb5]	我對貴冑、官長、和其餘的人說、這工程浩大、我們在城牆上相離甚遠．
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	And I said to the great ones and the chiefs and the rest of the people, The work is great and widely spaced and we are far away from one another on the wall:
4:20	[hb5]	你們聽見角聲在那裡、就聚集到我們那裡去．我們的　神必為我們爭戰。
	[kjv]	In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us.
	[bbe]	Wherever you may be when the horn is sounded, come here to us; our God will be fighting for us.
4:21	[hb5]	於是我們作工、一半拿兵器、從天亮直到星宿出現的時候。
	[kjv]	So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.
	[bbe]	So we went on with the work: and half of them had spears in their hands from the dawn of the morning till the stars were seen.
4:22	[hb5]	那時、我又對百姓說、各人和他的僕人當在耶路撒冷住宿、好在夜間保守我們、白晝作工。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	And at the same time I said to the people, Let everyone with his servant come inside Jerusalem for the night, so that at night they may keep watch for us, and go on working by day.
4:23	[hb5]	這樣、我和弟兄僕人、並跟從我的護兵、都不脫衣服、出去打水也帶兵器。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	So not one of us, I or my brothers or my servants or the watchmen who were with me, took off his clothing, everyone went armed to the water.
