Work Is Ridiculed
1參巴拉聽見我們修造城牆就發怒，大大惱恨，嗤笑猶大人，2對他弟兄和撒馬利亞的軍兵說：「這些軟弱的猶大人做甚麼呢？要保護自己嗎？要獻祭嗎？要一日成功嗎？要從土堆裏拿出火燒的石頭再立牆嗎？」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。」
1Now it came about that when Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, he became furious and very angry, and he mocked the Jews. 2And he spoke in the presence of his brothers and the wealthy people of Samaria and said, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Are they going to restore the temple for themselves? Can they offer sacrifices? Can they finish it in a day? Can they revive the stones from the heaps of rubble, even the burned ones?” 3Now Tobiah the Ammonite was near him, and he said, “Even what they are building—if a fox were to jump on it, it would break their stone wall down!”
4我們的神啊，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。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。
4Hear, O our God, how we are an object of contempt! Return their taunting on their own heads, and turn them into plunder in a land of captivity. 5Do not forgive their guilt and do not let their sin be wiped out before You, for they have demoralized the builders.
6這樣，我們修造城牆，城牆就都連絡，高至一半，因為百姓專心做工。
6So we built the wall, and the entire wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.
Discouragement Overcome
7參巴拉、多比雅、阿拉伯人、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。8大家同謀要來攻擊耶路撒冷，使城內擾亂。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。
7Now when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the repair of the walls of Jerusalem went on, and that the breaches began to be closed, they were very angry. 8So all of them conspired together to come to fight against Jerusalem and to cause confusion in it. 9But we prayed to our God, and because of them we set up a guard against them day and night.
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。」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。」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裏。」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。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。」
10And so in Judah it was said:
“The strength of the burden bearers is failing,
Yet there is much rubble;
And we ourselves are unable
To rebuild the wall.” 11And our enemies said, “They will not know or see until we come among them, kill them, and put a stop to the work.” 12When the Jews who lived near them came and told us ten times, “They will come up against us from every place where you may turn,” 13then I stationed men in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, the exposed places, and I stationed the people in families with their swords, spears, and bows. 14When I saw their fear, I stood and said to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people: “Do not be afraid of them; remember the Lord who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.”

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。我們都回到城牆那裏，各做各的工。16從那日起，我的僕人一半做工，一半拿槍、拿盾牌、拿弓、穿或譯：拿鎧甲，官長都站在猶大眾人的後邊。17修造城牆的，扛抬材料的，都一手做工一手拿兵器。18修造的人都腰間佩刀修造，吹角的人在我旁邊。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；20你們聽見角聲在哪裏，就聚集到我們那裏去。我們的神必為我們爭戰。」
15Now when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and that God had frustrated their plan, then all of us returned to the wall, each one to his work. 16And from that day on, half of my servants carried on the work while half of them kept hold of the spears, the shields, the bows, and the coats of mail; and the captains were behind all the house of Judah. 17Those who were rebuilding the wall and those who carried burdens carried with one hand doing the work, and the other keeping hold of a weapon. 18As for the builders, each wore his sword strapped to his waist as he built, while the trumpeter stood near me. 19And I said to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people, “The work is great and extensive, and we are separated on the wall far from one another. 20“At whatever place you hear the sound of the trumpet, assemble to us there. Our God will fight for us.”
21於是，我們做工，一半拿兵器，從天亮直到星宿出現的時候。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，白晝做工。」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。
21So we carried on the work with half of them holding spears from dawn until the stars appeared. 22At that time I also said to the people, “Each man with his servant shall spend the night within Jerusalem, so that they may be a guard for us by night and a laborer by day.” 23So neither I, my brothers, my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me—none of us removed our clothes; each took his weapon even to the water.
