Nehemiah 6

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 factum est autem cum audisset Sanaballat et Tobia et Gosem Arabs et ceteri inimici nostri quod aedificassem ego murum et non esset in ipso residua interruptio usque ad tempus autem illud valvas non posueram in portis

2 miserunt Sanaballat et Gosem ad me dicentes veni et percutiamus foedus pariter in viculis in campo Ono ipsi autem cogitabant ut facerent mihi malum

3 misi ergo ad eos nuntios dicens opus grande ego facio et non possum descendere ne forte neglegatur cum venero et descendero ad vos

4 miserunt autem ad me secundum verbum hoc per quattuor vices et respondi eis iuxta sermonem priorem

5 et misit ad me Sanaballat iuxta verbum prius quinta vice puerum suum et epistulam habebat in manu scriptam hoc modo

6 in gentibus auditum est et Gosem dixit quod tu et Iudaei cogitetis rebellare et propterea aedifices murum et levare te velis super eos regem propter quam causam

7 et prophetas posueris qui praedicent de te in Hierusalem dicentes rex in Iudaea est auditurus est rex verba haec idcirco nunc veni ut ineamus consilium pariter

8 et misi ad eos dicens non est factum secundum verba haec quae tu loqueris de corde enim tuo tu conponis haec

9 omnes autem hii terrebant nos cogitantes quod cessarent manus nostrae ab opere et quiesceremus quam ob causam magis confortavi manus meas

10 et ingressus sum domum Samaiae filii Dalaiae filii Metabehel secreto qui ait tractemus nobiscum in domo Dei in medio templi et claudamus portas aedis quia venturi sunt ut interficiant te et nocte venturi sunt ad occidendum te

11 et dixi num quisquam similis mei fugit et quis ut ego ingredietur templum et vivet non ingrediar

12 et intellexi quod Deus non misisset eum sed quasi vaticinans locutus esset ad me et Tobia et Sanaballat conduxissent eum

13 acceperat enim pretium ut territus facerem et peccarem et haberent malum quod exprobrarent mihi

14 memento Domine mei pro Tobia et Sanaballat iuxta opera eorum talia sed et Noadiae prophetae et ceterorum prophetarum qui terrebant me

15 conpletus est autem murus vicesimo quinto die mensis elul quinquaginta duobus diebus

16 factum est ergo cum audissent omnes inimici nostri ut timerent universae gentes quae erant in circuitu nostro et conciderent intra semet ipsos et scirent quod a Deo factum esset opus hoc

17 sed et in diebus illis multae optimatium Iudaeorum epistulae mittebantur ad Tobiam et a Tobia veniebant ad eos

18 multi enim erant in Iudaea habentes iuramentum eius quia gener erat Secheniae filii Orei et Iohanan filius eius acceperat filiam Mosollam filii Barachiae

19 sed et laudabant eum coram me et verba mea nuntiabant ei et Tobias mittebat epistulas ut terreret me

English Standard Version ESV

1 Now when Sanballat and Tobiah and Geshem the Arab and the rest of our enemies heard that I had built the wall and that there was no breach left in it ( although up to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates),

2 Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come and let us meet together at Hakkephirim in the plain of Ono. ” But they intended to do me harm.

3 And I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you? ”

4 And they sent to me four times in this way, and I answered them in the same manner.

5 In the same way Sanballat for the fifth time sent his servant to me with an open letter in his hand.

6 In it was written, “It is reported among the nations, and Geshem also says it, that you and the Jews intend to rebel; that is why you are building the wall. And according to these reports you wish to become their king.

7 And you have also set up prophets to proclaim concerning you in Jerusalem, ‘There is a king in Judah. ’ And now the king will hear of these reports. So now come and let us take counsel together. ”

8 Then I sent to him, saying, “No such things as you say have been done, for you are inventing them out of your own mind. ”

9 For they all wanted to frighten us, thinking, “Their hands will drop from the work, and it will not be done. ” But now, O God, strengthen my hands.

10 Now when I went into the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabel, who was confined to his home, he said, “Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple. Let us close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to kill you. They are coming to kill you by night. ”

11 But I said, “Should such a man as I run away? And what man such as I could go into the temple and live? I will not go in. ”

12 And I understood and saw that God had not sent him, but he had pronounced the prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

13 For this purpose he was hired, that I should be afraid and act in this way and sin, and so they could give me a bad name in order to taunt me.

14 Remember Tobiah and Sanballat, O my God, according to these things that they did, and also the prophetess Noadiah and the rest of the prophets who wanted to make me afraid.

15 So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days.

16 And when all our enemies heard of it, all the nations around us were afraid and fell greatly in their own esteem, for they perceived that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God.

17 Moreover, in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and Tobiah’s letters came to them.

18 For many in Judah were bound by oath to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah: and his son Jehohanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah as his wife.

19 Also they spoke of his good deeds in my presence and reported my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to make me afraid.
