Бы́сть же є҆гда̀ оу҆слы́ша санавалла́тъ и҆ тѡві́а и҆ гиса́мъ а҆раві́йскїй и҆ про́чїи вразѝ на́ши, ꙗ҆́кѡ созда́хъ стѣ́нꙋ, и҆ не ѡ҆ста́сѧ въ ни́хъ сква́жнѧ: и҆ а҆́зъ да́же до вре́мене ѻ҆́нагѡ две́рїй не поста́вихъ во вратѣ́хъ:

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

и҆ посла̀ санавалла́тъ и҆ гиса́мъ ко мнѣ̀, глагѡ́люща: прїидѝ, и҆ собере́мсѧ вкꙋ́пѣ въ ве́сехъ на по́ли ѡ҆нѡ̀ (глаго́лемѣмъ). Ті́и же помышлѧ́ста мнѣ̀ сотвори́ти ѕло́е.

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

И҆ посла́хъ къ ни́ма послѡ́въ, глаго́лѧ: дѣ́ло вели́ко а҆́зъ творю̀ и҆ не могꙋ̀ сни́ти, да не преста́нетъ дѣ́ло: є҆гда́ же совершꙋ̀ є҆̀, взы́дꙋ къ ва́ма.

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

И҆ посла́ста ко мнѣ̀, ꙗ҆́коже глаго́лъ се́й, четы́рижды, и҆ посла́хъ къ ни́ма по си̑мъ.

⁴

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

⁵

И҆ присла̀ ко мнѣ̀ санавалла́тъ пѧ́тое ѻ҆́трока своего̀, и҆ посла́нїе ѿве́рсто въ рꙋкꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ бѣ̀ напи́сано въ не́мъ:

⁵

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

⁶

во ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ оу҆слы́шано є҆́сть, и҆ гиса́мъ речѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀ и҆ і҆ꙋде́є мы́слите ѿстꙋпи́ти, сегѡ̀ ра́ди ты̀ созида́еши стѣ́нꙋ, и҆ ты̀ да бꙋ́деши и҆̀мъ въ царѧ̀:

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

и҆ къ си̑мъ проро́ки поста́вилъ є҆сѝ себѣ̀, да бꙋ́деши во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ царе́мъ над̾ і҆ꙋ́дою: и҆ нн҃ѣ возвѣстѧ́тсѧ царю̀ словеса̀ сїѧ̑: и҆ сегѡ̀ ра́ди нн҃ѣ прїидѝ, да сотвори́ма совѣ́тъ вкꙋ́пѣ.

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

И҆ посла́хъ къ немꙋ̀, глаго́лѧ: не сотвори́сѧ по словесе́мъ си̑мъ, ꙗ҆́коже ты̀ глаго́леши, занѐ ѿ се́рдца твоегѡ̀ ты̀ лже́ши въ си́хъ:

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

ꙗ҆́кѡ всѝ страша́тъ на́съ, глаго́люще: ѡ҆слабѣ́ютъ рꙋ́цы и҆́хъ ѿ дѣ́ла сегѡ̀, и҆ не сотвори́тсѧ: и҆ нн҃ѣ оу҆крѣпи́хъ рꙋ́ки моѧ̑.

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

И҆ а҆́зъ внидо́хъ въ до́мъ семе́а сы́на далаі́ева, сы́на метавеи́лева, и҆ то́й заключе́нъ, и҆ речѐ: да собере́мсѧ въ до́мъ бж҃їй посредѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ заключи́мъ двє́ри є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ прихо́дѧтъ но́щїю, да оу҆бїю́тъ тѧ̀.

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

И҆ реко́хъ: кто́ є҆сть мꙋ́жъ, ꙗ҆ко́въ а҆́зъ, и҆ оу҆бѣжи́тъ; и҆лѝ кто̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ, и҆́же вни́детъ въ до́мъ, и҆ жи́въ бꙋ́детъ; не вни́дꙋ.

¹¹

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

¹²

И҆ оу҆разꙋмѣ́хъ, и҆ сѐ, бг҃ъ не посла̀ є҆гѡ̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ проро́чествова сло́во на мѧ̀.

¹²

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

¹³

И҆ тѡві́а и҆ санавалла́тъ наѧ́ста на мѧ̀ наро́дъ, да оу҆страшꙋ́сѧ, и҆ сотворю̀ та́кѡ, и҆ согрѣшꙋ̀, и҆ да бꙋ́дꙋ и҆̀мъ во и҆́мѧ ѕло̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ да поно́сѧтъ мѝ.

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

Помѧнѝ, бж҃е, тѡві́ю и҆ санавалла́та по дѣлѡ́мъ и҆́хъ си̑мъ, и҆ нѡаді́а проро́ка и҆ про́чихъ прорѡ́къ, и҆̀же страша́хꙋ мѧ̀.

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

И҆ соверши́сѧ стѣна̀ въ два́десѧть пѧ́тый мцⷭ҇а є҆лꙋ́ла въ пѧтьдесѧ́тъ и҆ два̀ дни̑.

¹⁵

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

¹⁶

И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ оу҆слы́шаша всѝ вразѝ на́ши, и҆ оу҆боѧ́шасѧ всѝ ꙗ҆зы́цы, и҆̀же ѡ҆́крестъ на́съ, и҆ нападѐ стра́хъ вели́къ пред̾ ѻ҆́чи и҆́хъ, и҆ позна́ша, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ гдⷭ҇а бг҃а на́шегѡ соверше́но бы́сть дѣ́ло сїѐ.

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

И҆ во дни̑ ѡ҆́ны ѿ мно́гихъ держа́вныхъ і҆ꙋ́диныхъ посла̑нїѧ прихожда́хꙋ къ тѡві́и, и҆ тѡві̑ина (посла̑нїѧ) прихожда́хꙋ къ ни̑мъ.

¹⁷

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

¹⁸

Мно́зи бо во і҆ꙋде́и клѧ́шасѧ є҆мꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ зѧ́ть бѣ̀ сехені́и сы́на и҆ра́ева: и҆ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ сы́нъ є҆гѡ̀ поѧ̀ дще́рь месꙋла́ма сы́на варахі́ина въ женꙋ̀.

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

И҆ словеса̀ є҆гѡ̀ бы́ша глаго́лющїи ко мнѣ̀, и҆ словеса̀ моѧ̑ бы́ша и҆зносѧ́щїи є҆мꙋ̀. И҆ посла́нїе посла̀ тѡві́а, да оу҆страши́тъ менѐ.

¹⁹

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