¹

И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ оу҆слы́ша санавалла́тъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ мы̀ созида́емъ стѣ́ны, и҆ ѕло̀ є҆мꙋ̀ вмѣни́сѧ, и҆ разгнѣ́васѧ ѕѣлѡ̀, и҆ посмѣѧ́шесѧ і҆ꙋде́ѡмъ,

¹

Now it came to pass, when Sanaballat heard that we were building the wall, that it was grievous to him, and he was very angry, and railed against the Jews.

²

и҆ речѐ пред̾ бра́тїею свое́ю, и҆̀же бѧ́хꙋ си́ла сомо́рѡвъ, и҆ речѐ: что̀ і҆ꙋде́є сі́и созида́ютъ сво́й гра́дъ; є҆да̀ жре́ти бꙋ́дꙋтъ; и҆лѝ возмо́гꙋтъ; и҆лѝ дне́сь и҆зцѣлѧ́тъ ка́менїе, повнегда̀ бы́ти и҆̀мъ въ пра́хъ землѝ сожжє́ннымъ;

²

And he said before his brethren (that is the army of the Samaritans) Is it true that these Jews are building their city? do they indeed offer sacrifices? will they prevail? and will they this day restore the stones, after they have been burnt and made a heap of rubbish?

³

И҆ тѡві́а а҆ммані́тѧнинъ бли́з̾ є҆гѡ̀ прїи́де и҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: є҆да̀ пожрꙋ́тъ, и҆лѝ ꙗ҆́сти и҆́мꙋтъ на мѣ́стѣ свое́мъ; не взы́детъ ли лиси́ца и҆ разори́тъ стѣ́нꙋ ка́меней и҆́хъ;

³

And Tobias the Ammanite came near to him, and said to them, Do they sacrifice or eat in their place? shall not a fox go up and pull down their wall of stones?

⁴

И҆ речѐ неемі́а: оу҆слы́ши, бж҃е на́шъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ сотворе́ни є҆смы̀ въ посмѣѧ́нїе,

⁴

Hear, O our God, for we have become a scorn; and return thou their reproach upon their head, and make them a scorn in a land of captivity,

⁵

и҆ ѡ҆братѝ поноше́нїе и҆́хъ на главꙋ̀ и҆́хъ, и҆ да́ждь и҆̀хъ въ посмѣѧ́нїе въ зе́млю плѣне́нїѧ,

⁵

and do not cover their iniquity.

⁶

и҆ не покры́й беззако́нїѧ и҆́хъ.

⁷

But it came to pass, when Sanaballat and Tobia, and the Arabians, and the Ammanites, heard that the building of the walls of Jerusalem was advancing, and that the breaches began to be stopped, that it appeared very grievous to them.

⁷

Бы́сть же є҆гда̀ оу҆слы́ша санавалла́тъ и҆ тѡві́а, и҆ а҆ра́влѧне и҆ а҆ммані́те, ꙗ҆́кѡ взы́де ѿра́сль стѣ́нъ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мскихъ, занѐ нача́ша разсѣ̑лины загражда́ти, и҆ ѕло̀ и҆̀мъ ꙗ҆ви́сѧ ѕѣлѡ̀.

⁸

And all of them assembled together, to come to fight against Jerusalem, and to destroy it utterly.

⁸

И҆ собра́шасѧ всѝ вкꙋ́пѣ, да прїи́дꙋтъ и҆ ѡ҆полча́тсѧ на і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ и҆ разорѧ́тъ є҆го̀.

⁹

So we prayed to our God and set watchmen against them day and night, because of them.

⁹

И҆ моли́хомсѧ ко бг҃ꙋ на́шемꙋ и҆ поста́вихомъ стра́жы на стѣнѣ̀ проти́вꙋ и҆́хъ де́нь и҆ но́щь ѿ лица̀ и҆́хъ.

¹⁰

And Juda said, The strength of the enemies is broken, yet there is much rubbish, and we shall not be able to build the wall.

¹⁰

Рече́ же і҆ꙋ́да: и҆стомле́на є҆́сть си́ла (ѿ) вра̑гъ, и҆ землѧ̀ мно́га є҆́сть, и҆ мы̀ не мо́жемъ созида́ти стѣны̀.

¹¹

And they that afflicted us said, They shall not know, and they shall not see, until we come into the midst of them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.

¹¹

И҆ реко́ша ѡ҆скорблѧ́ющїи на́съ: не позна́ютъ и҆ не оу҆ви́дѧтъ, до́ндеже прїи́демъ посредѣ̀ и҆́хъ и҆ оу҆бїе́мъ и҆̀хъ, и҆ преста́ти сотвори́мъ дѣ́лꙋ.

¹²

And it came to pass, when the Jews who lived near them came, that they said to us, They are coming up against us from every quarter.

¹²

И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ прїидо́ша і҆ꙋде́є, и҆̀же ѡ҆бита́хꙋ бли́з̾ и҆́хъ, и҆ рѣ́ша на́мъ: восхо́дѧтъ ѿ всѣ́хъ ꙗ҆зы̑къ на ны̀.

¹³

So I set men in the lowest part of the place behind the wall in the lurking-places, I even set the people according to their families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

¹³

И҆ поста́вихъ въ нижа́йшихъ мѣ́стѣхъ созадѝ стѣ́нъ въ закрове́нїи, и҆ поста́вихъ лю́ди по племенѡ́мъ съ мєчѝ и҆́хъ и҆ съ сꙋ́лицами и҆́хъ и҆ съ лꙋ́ками.

¹⁴

And I looked, and arose, and said to the nobles, and to the captains, and to the rest of the people, Be not afraid of them: remember our great and terrible God, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.

¹⁴

И҆ ви́дѣхъ, и҆ воста́хъ, и҆ реко́хъ ко чєстны́мъ и҆ къ воево́дамъ и҆ ко про́чымъ лю́демъ: не оу҆бо́йтесѧ ѿ лица̀ и҆́хъ, помѧни́те гдⷭ҇а бг҃а на́шего вели́каго и҆ стра́шнаго, и҆ ѡ҆полчи́тесѧ за бра́тїю ва́шꙋ, за сы́ны ва́шѧ и҆ дщє́ри ва́шѧ, жєны̀ ва́шѧ и҆ до́мы ва́шѧ.

¹⁵

And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was made known to us, and God had frustrated their counsel, that we all returned to the wall, every man to his work.

¹⁵

Бы́сть же є҆гда̀ оу҆слы́шаша вразѝ на́ши, ꙗ҆́кѡ вѣ́домо бы́сть на́мъ, и҆ разорѝ бг҃ъ совѣ́тъ и҆́хъ: и҆ возврати́хомсѧ всѝ мы̀ на стѣ́ны, кі́йждо ко дѣ́лꙋ своемꙋ̀.

¹⁶

And it came to pass from that day that half of them that had been driven forth, wrought the work, and half of them kept guard; and there were spears, and shields, and bows, and breast-plates, and rulers behind the whole house of Juda,

¹⁶

И҆ бы́сть ѿ днѐ тогѡ̀, по́лъ вчине́ныхъ дѣ́лахꙋ дѣ́ло, и҆ полови́на и҆́хъ оу҆гото́вана бы́сть ко бра́ни съ сꙋ́лицами и҆ щита́ми, и҆ лꙋ̑ки и҆ бронѧ́ми, и҆ нача̑лницы созадѝ всегѡ̀ до́мꙋ і҆ꙋ́дина.

¹⁷

even of them that were building the wall:—and those who carried the burdens were under arms: each with one hand wrought his work, and with the other held his dart.

¹⁷

Созида́ющїи стѣ́нꙋ и҆ носѧ́щїи бремена̀ со ѻ҆рꙋ́жїемъ: є҆ди́ною рꙋко́ю свое́ю творѧ́хꙋ дѣ́ло, а҆ дрꙋго́ю держа́хꙋ ме́чь.

¹⁸

And the builders wrought each man having his sword girt upon his loins, and so they built: and the trumpeter with his trumpet next to him.

¹⁸

Созида́ющымъ же є҆ди́номꙋ коемꙋ́ждо ме́чь бы́сть ѡ҆поѧ́санъ при бедрѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ созида́хꙋ, и҆ трꙋбѧ́хꙋ трꙋба́ми бли́з̾ и҆́хъ.

¹⁹

And I said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and abundant, and we are dispersed upon the wall, each at a great distance from his brother.

¹⁹

И҆ реко́хъ ко чєстны́мъ и҆ ко старѣ́йшинамъ и҆ ко про́чымъ лю́демъ: дѣ́ло вели́ко є҆́сть и҆ простра́нно, и҆ мы̀ разлꙋче́ни є҆смы̀ на стѣнѣ̀ дале́че кі́йждо ѿ бра́та своегѡ̀:

²⁰

In whatsoever place ye shall hear the sound of the cornet, thither gather yourselves together to us; and our God shall fight for us.

²⁰

на мѣ́стѣ и҆дѣ́же оу҆слы́шите гла́съ трꙋ́бный, та́мѡ тецы́те къ на́мъ, и҆ бг҃ъ на́шъ ѡ҆полчи́тсѧ ѡ҆ на́съ.

²¹

So we continued labouring at the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning until the stars appeared.

²¹

И҆ мы̀ бы́хомъ творѧ́ще дѣ́ло, и҆ по́лъ на́съ держа́хꙋ сꙋ̑лицы ѿ восхо́да зарѝ оу҆́треннїѧ да́же до восхо́да ѕвѣ́здъ.

²²

And at that time I said to the people, Lodge ye every man with his servant in the midst of Jerusalem, and let the night be a watch-time to you, and the day a work-time.

²²

Во вре́мѧ же то̀ реко́хъ лю́демъ: кі́йждо со ѻ҆́трокомъ свои́мъ да пребыва́етъ въ средѣ̀ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма: и҆ бꙋ́детъ ва́мъ но́щь на стра́жꙋ, а҆ де́нь на дѣ́ланїе.

²³

And I was there, and the watchmen behind me, and there was not a man of us that put off his garments.

²³

А҆́зъ же и҆ бра́тїѧ моѝ и҆ ѻ҆́троцы и҆ мꙋ́жїе стра́жи, и҆̀же бѧ́хꙋ созадѝ менє̀, не снима́хомъ ѡ҆дѣѧ́нїй на́шихъ та́мѡ ни є҆ди́нъ ѿ на́съ.
