Бhсть же є3гдA ўслhша санаваллaтъ и3 тwвjа и3 гисaмъ ґравjйскій и3 пр0чіи врази2 нaши, ћкw создaхъ стёну, и3 не њстaсz въ ни1хъ сквaжнz: и3 ѓзъ дaже до врeмене џнагw двeрій не постaвихъ во вратёхъ:

¹

Now it came to pass, when Sanaballat, and Tobias, and Gesam the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had built the wall, and that there was no opening left therein; (but hitherto I had not set up the doors on the gates;)

²

и3 послA санаваллaтъ и3 гисaмъ ко мнЁ, глагHлюща: пріиди2, и3 соберeмсz вкyпэ въ вeсехъ на п0ли њнw2 (глаг0лемэмъ). Тjи же помышлsста мнЁ сотвори1ти ѕл0е.

²

that Sanaballat and Gesam sent to me, saying, Come and let us meet together in the villages in the plain of Ono. But they were plotting to do me mischief.

³

И# послaхъ къ ни1ма послHвъ, глаг0лz: дёло вели1ко ѓзъ творю2 и3 не могY сни1ти, да не престaнетъ дёло: є3гдa же совершY є5, взhду къ вaма.

³

So I sent messengers to them, saying, I am doing a great work, and I shall not be able to come down, lest the work should cease: as soon as I shall have finished it, I will come down to you.

⁴

И# послaста ко мнЁ, ћкоже глаг0лъ сeй, четhрижды, и3 послaхъ къ ни1ма по си6мъ.

⁴

And they sent to me again to this effect; and I sent them word accordingly.

⁵

И# прислA ко мнЁ санаваллaтъ пsтое џтрока своего2, и3 послaніе tвeрсто въ рукY є3гw2, и3 бЁ напи1сано въ нeмъ:

⁵

Then Sanaballat sent his servant to me with an open letter in his hand.

⁶

во kзhцэхъ ўслhшано є4сть, и3 гисaмъ речE, ћкw ты2 и3 їудeє мhслите tступи1ти, сегw2 рaди ты2 созидaеши стёну, и3 ты2 да бyдеши и5мъ въ царS:

⁶

And in it was written, It has been reported among the Gentiles that thou and the Jews are planning to revolt: therefore thou art building the wall, and thou wilt be a king to them.

⁷

и3 къ си6мъ прор0ки постaвилъ є3си2 себЁ, да бyдеши во їеrли1мэ царeмъ над8 їyдою: и3 нн7э возвэстsтсz царю2 словесA сі‰: и3 сегw2 рaди нн7э пріиди2, да сотвори1ма совётъ вкyпэ.

⁷

And moreover thou has appointed prophets to thyself, that thou mightest dwell in Jerusalem as a king over Juda: and now these words will be reported to the king. Now then, come, let us take counsel together.

⁸

И# послaхъ къ немY, глаг0лz: не сотвори1сz по словесeмъ си6мъ, ћкоже ты2 глаг0леши, занE t сeрдца твоегw2 ты2 лжeши въ си1хъ:

⁸

And I sent to him, saying, It has not happened according to these words, even as thou sayest, for thou framest them falsely out of thy heart.

⁹

ћкw вси2 страшaтъ нaсъ, глаг0люще: њслабёютъ рyцы и4хъ t дёла сегw2, и3 не сотвори1тсz: и3 нн7э ўкрэпи1хъ рyки мо‰.

⁹

For all were trying to alarm us, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from this work, and it shall not be done. Now therefore I have strengthened my hands.

¹⁰

И# ѓзъ внид0хъ въ д0мъ семeа сhна далаjева, сhна метавеи1лева, и3 т0й заключeнъ, и3 речE: да соберeмсz въ д0мъ б9ій посредЁ є3гw2 и3 заключи1мъ двє1ри є3гw2, ћкw прих0дzтъ н0щію, да ўбію1тъ тS.

¹⁰

And I came into the house of Semei the son of Dalaia the Son of Metabeel, and he was shut up; and he said, Let us assemble together in the house of God, in the midst of it, and let us shut the doors of it; for they are coming by night to slay thee.

¹¹

И# рек0хъ: кт0 є3сть мyжъ, kк0въ ѓзъ, и3 ўбэжи1тъ; и3ли2 кто2 ћкw ѓзъ, и4же вни1детъ въ д0мъ, и3 жи1въ бyдетъ; не вни1ду.

¹¹

And I said, Who is the man that shall enter into the house, that he may live?

¹²

И# ўразумёхъ, и3 сE, бGъ не послA є3гw2: ћкw прор0чествова сл0во на мS.

¹²

And I observed, and, behold, God had not sent him, for the prophecy was a fable devised against me:

¹³

И# тwвjа и3 санаваллaтъ наsста на мS нар0дъ, да ўстрашyсz, и3 сотворю2 тaкw, и3 согрэшY, и3 да бyду и5мъ во и4мz ѕло2, ћкw да пон0сzтъ ми2.

¹³

and Tobias and Sanaballat had hired against me a multitude, that I might be frightened, and do this, and sin, and become to them an ill name, that they might reproach me.

¹⁴

Помzни2, б9е, тwвjю и3 санаваллaта по дэлHмъ и4хъ си6мъ, и3 нwадjа прор0ка и3 пр0чихъ прорHкъ, и5же страшaху мS.

¹⁴

Remember, O God, Tobias and Sanaballat, according to these their deeds, and the prophetess Noadia, and the rest of the prophets who tried to alarm me.

¹⁵

И# соверши1сz стэнA въ двaдесzть пsтый мцcа є3лyла въ пzтьдесsтъ и3 двA дни6.

¹⁵

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

¹⁶

И# бhсть є3гдA ўслhшаша вси2 врази2 нaши, и3 ўбоsшасz вси2 kзhцы, и5же w4крестъ нaсъ, и3 нападE стрaхъ вели1къ пред8 џчи и4хъ, и3 познaша, ћкw t гDа бGа нaшегw совершeно бhсть дёло сіE.

¹⁶

And it came to pass, when all our enemies heard of it, that all the nations round about us feared, and great alarm fell upon them, and they knew that it was of our God that this work should be finished.

¹⁷

И# во дни6 w4ны t мн0гихъ держaвныхъ їyдиныхъ посл†ніz прихождaху къ тwвjи, и3 тwв‡ина (посл†ніz) прихождaху къ ни6мъ.

¹⁷

And in those days letters came to Tobias from many nobles of Juda, and those of Tobias came to them.

¹⁸

Мн0зи бо во їудeи клsшасz є3мY, ћкw зsть бЁ сехенjи сhна и3рaева: и3 їwнаfaнъ сhнъ є3гw2 поS дщeрь месулaма сhна варахjина въ женY.

¹⁸

For many in Juda were bound to him by oath, because he was son-in-law of Sechenias the son of Herae; and Jonan his son had taken the daughter of Mesulam the son of Barachia to wife.

¹⁹

И# словесA є3гw2 бhша глаг0лющіи ко мнЁ, и3 словесA мо‰ бhша и3зносsщіи є3мY. И# послaніе послA тwвjа, да ўстраши1тъ менE.

¹⁹

And they reported his words to me, and carried out my words to him: and Tobias sent letters to terrify me.
