Nehemiah 6

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 And it came to pass, when Sanaballat, and Tobias, and Gossem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left in it, (though at that time I had not set up the doors in the gates,)	1 Καθως δε ηκουσαν ο Σαναβαλλατ και ο Τωβιας και ο Γησεμ ο Αραψ και οι λοιποι εκ των εχθρων ημων, οτι εγω ωκοδομησα το τειχος και δεν εμεινε πλεον χαλασμα εις αυτο, αν και μεχρις εκεινου του καιρου θυρας δεν εστησα επι των πυλων,
2 Sanaballat and Gossem Rent to me, saying: Come, and let us make a league together in the villages, in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.	2 ο Σαναβαλλατ και ο Γησεμ απεστειλαν προς εμε, λεγοντες, Ελθετε, και ας συναχθωμεν ομου εις τινα εκ των κωμων εν τη πεδιαδι Ωνω. Εβουλευοντο δε να καμωσιν εις εμε κακον.
3 And I sent messengers to them, saying: I am doing a great work, and I cannot come down, lest it be neglected whilst I come, and go down to you.	3 Και απεστειλα μηνυτας προς αυτους, λεγων, Εργον μεγα καμνω και δεν δυναμαι να καταβω? δια τι να παυση το εργον, οταν εγω αφησας αυτο καταβω προς εσας;
4 And they sent to me according to this word, four times: and I answered them after the same manner.	4 Και απεστειλαν προς εμε τετρακις κατα τον τροπον τουτον? και εγω απεκριθην προς αυτους κατα τον αυτον τροπον.
5 And Sanaballat sent his servant to me the fifth time according to the former word, and he had a letter in his hand written in this manner:	5 Τοτε ο Σαναβαλλατ απεστειλε προς εμε τον δουλον αυτου κατα τον αυτον τροπον, πεμπτην φοραν, με ανοικτην επιστολην εις την χειρα αυτου?
6 It is reported amongst the Gentiles, and Gossem hath said it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel, and therefore thou buildest the wall, and hast a mind to set thyself king over them : for which end	6 εν η ητο γεγραμμενον, Ηκουσθη μεταξυ των εθνων, και ο Γασμου λεγει, οτι συ και οι Ιουδαιοι βουλευεσθε να επαναστατησητε? δια τουτο συ οικοδομεις το τειχος, δια να γεινης βασιλευς αυτων, κατα τους λογους τουτους?
7 Thou hast also set up prophets, to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying: There is a king in Judea. The king will hear of these things: therefore come now, that we may take counsel together.	7 ετι διωρισας προφητας, να κηρυττωσι περι σου εν Ιερουσαλημ, λεγοντες, Ειναι βασιλευς εν Ιουδα? και τωρα θελει απαγγελθη προς τον βασιλεα κατα τους λογους τουτους? ελθε λοιπον τωρα, και ας συμβουλευθωμεν ομου.
8 And I sent to them, saying: There is no such thing done as thou sayest: but thou feignest these things out of thy own heart.	8 Τοτε απεστειλα προς αυτον, λεγων, Δεν ειναι τοιαυτα πραγματα καθως συ λεγεις, αλλα συ πλαττεις αυτα εκ της καρδιας σου.
9 For all these men thought to frighten us, thinking that our hands would cease from the work, and that we would leave off. Wherefore I strengthened my hands the more:	9 Διοτι παντες ουτοι εφοβεριζον ημας, λεγοντες, Θελουσιν εξασθενησει αι χειρες αυτων απο του εργου, και δεν θελει εκτελεσθη. Τωρα λοιπον, Θεε, κραταιωσον τας χειρας μου.
10 And I went into the house of Samaia the son of Delaia, the son of Metabeel privately. And he said: Let us consult together in the house of God in the midst of the temple: and let us shut the doors of the temple, for they will come to kill thee, and in the night they will come to slay thee.	10 Και εγω υπηγα εις την οικιαν του Σεμαια, υιου του Δαλαια, υιου του Μεεταβεηλ, οστις ητο κεκλεισμενος? και ειπεν, Ας συνελθωμεν ομου εις τον οικον του Θεου, εντος του ναου, και ας κλεισωμεν τας θυρας του ναου? διοτι αυτοι ερχονται να σε φονευσωσι? ναι, την νυκτα ερχονται να σε φονευσωσιν.
11 And I said: Should such a man as I Bee? and who is there that being as I am, would go into the temple, to save his life? I will not go in.	11 Αλλ' εγω απεκριθην, Ανθρωπος οποιος εγω ηθελον φυγει; και τις, οποιος εγω, ηθελεν εισελθει εις τον ναον δια να σωση την ζωην αυτου; δεν θελω εισελθει.
12 And I understood that God had not sent him, but that he had spoken to me as if he had been prophesying, and Tobias, and Sanaballat had hired him.	12 Και ιδου, εγνωρισα οτι ο Θεος δεν απεστειλεν αυτον να προφερη την προφητειαν ταυτην εναντιον μου? αλλ' οτι ο Τωβιας και ο Σαναβαλλατ εμισθωσαν αυτον.
13 For he had taken money, that I being afraid should do this thing, and sin, and they might have some evil to upbraid me withal.	13 Δια τουτο ητο μεμισθωμενος, δια να φοβηθω και να καμω ουτω και να αμαρτησω, και να εχωσιν αφορμην να κακολογησωσι, δια να με ονειδισωσι.
14 Remember me, O Lord, for Tobias and Sanaballat, according to their works of this kind: and Noadias the prophet, and the rest of the prophets that would have put me in fear.	14 Μνησθητι, Θεε μου, του Τωβια και του Σαναβαλλατ κατα τα εργα αυτων ταυτα, και ετι της προφητισσης Νωαδιας και των λοιπων προφητων, οιτινες με εφοβεριζον.
15 But the wall was finished the five and twentieth day of the month of Elul, in two and fifty days.	15 Ουτω συνετελεσθη το τειχος κατα την εικοστην πεμπτην του μηνος Ελουλ, εν πεντηκοντα δυο ημεραις.
16 And it came to pass when all our enemies heard of it, that all nations which were round about us, were afraid, and were cast down within themselves, for they perceived that this work was the work of God.	16 Και οτε ηκουσαν παντες οι εχθροι ημων, τοτε εφοβηθησαν παντα τα εθνη τα περιξ ημων, και εταπεινωθησαν σφοδρα εις τους οφθαλμους εαυτων? διοτι εγνωρισαν οτι παρα του Θεου ημων εγεινε το εργον τουτο.
17 Moreover in those days many letters were sent by the principal men of the Jews to Tobias, and from Tobias there came letters to them.	17 Προσετι εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις οι προκριτοι του Ιουδα επεμπον συνεχως τας επιστολας αυτων προς τον Τωβιαν, και αι του Τωβια ηρχοντο προς αυτους.
18 For there were many in Judea sworn to him, because he was the son in law of Sechenias the son of Area, and Johanan his son had taken to wife the daughter of Mosollam the son of Barachias.	18 Διοτι ησαν εν τω Ιουδα πολλοι ωρκισμενοι εις αυτον, επειδη ητο γαμβρος του Σεχανια, υιου του Αραχ? και Ιωαναν ο υιος αυτου ειχε λαβει την θυγατερα του Μεσουλλαμ, υιου του Βαραχιου.
19 And they praised him also before me, and they related my words to him: And Tobias sent letters to put me in fear.	19 Μαλιστα διηγουντο ενωπιον μου τας αγαθοεργιας αυτου, και ανεφερον προς αυτον τους λογους μου. Και ο Τωβιας εστελλεν επιστολας δια να με φοβεριζη.
