尼希米記 4	Nehemiah 4
尼希米記 4:1 ^ 參巴拉聽見我們修造城牆就發怒、大大惱恨、嗤笑猶大人．	Nehemiah 4:1 ^ Now, Sanballat, hearing that we were building the wall, was very angry, and in his wrath made sport of the Jews.
尼希米記 4:2 ^ 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。	Nehemiah 4:2 ^ 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?
尼希米記 4:3 ^ 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。	Nehemiah 4:3 ^ 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.
尼希米記 4:4 ^ 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．	Nehemiah 4:4 ^ 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:
尼希米記 4:5 ^ 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。	Nehemiah 4:5 ^ Let not their wrongdoing be covered or their sin washed away from before you: for they have made you angry before the builders.
尼希米記 4:6 ^ 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。	Nehemiah 4:6 ^ So we went on building the wall; and all the wall was joined together half-way up: for the people were working hard.
尼希米記 4:7 ^ 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．	Nehemiah 4:7 ^ 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;
尼希米記 4:8 ^ 大家同謀要來攻擊耶路撒冷、使城內擾亂。	Nehemiah 4:8 ^ And they made designs, all of them together, to come and make an attack on Jerusalem, causing trouble there.
尼希米記 4:9 ^ 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。	Nehemiah 4:9 ^ But we made our prayer to God, and had men on watch against them day and night because of them.
尼希米記 4:10 ^ 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。	Nehemiah 4:10 ^ 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.
尼希米記 4:11 ^ 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。	Nehemiah 4:11 ^ 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.
尼希米記 4:12 ^ 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。	Nehemiah 4:12 ^ 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.
尼希米記 4:13 ^ 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。	Nehemiah 4:13 ^ 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.
尼希米記 4:14 ^ 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。	Nehemiah 4:14 ^ 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.
尼希米記 4:15 ^ 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。	Nehemiah 4:15 ^ 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
尼希米記 4:16 ^ 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。	Nehemiah 4:16 ^ 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.
尼希米記 4:17 ^ 修造城牆的、扛抬材料的、都一手作工、一手拿兵器。	Nehemiah 4:17 ^ 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;
尼希米記 4:18 ^ 修造的人、都腰間佩刀修造、吹角的人在我旁邊。	Nehemiah 4:18 ^ Every builder was working with his sword at his side. And by my side was a man for sounding the horn.
尼希米記 4:19 ^ 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．	Nehemiah 4:19 ^ 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:
尼希米記 4:20 ^ 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。	Nehemiah 4:20 ^ Wherever you may be when the horn is sounded, come here to us; our God will be fighting for us.
尼希米記 4:21 ^ 於是我們作工、一半拿兵器、從天亮直到星宿出現的時候。	Nehemiah 4:21 ^ 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.
尼希米記 4:22 ^ 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。	Nehemiah 4:22 ^ 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.
尼希米記 4:23 ^ 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。	Nehemiah 4:23 ^ 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.
