| 1 | Je n'avais pas encore posé les battants des portes, lorsque Sanballat, Tobija, Guéschem, l'Arabe, et nos autres ennemis apprirent que j'avais rebâti la muraille et qu'il n'y restait plus de brèche. | Now it came to pass when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates;) | Now it came to pass, when it was reported to Sanballat and Tobiah, and to Geshem the Arabian, and unto the rest of our enemies, that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though even unto that time I had not set up the doors in the gates;) | Quando Sanballat, Tobiah e Ghescem l'Arabo e gli altri nostri nemici seppero che io avevo ricostruito le mura e che non vi era più rimasta alcuna breccia (quantunque allora non avessi ancora messo i battenti alle porte) |
| 2 | Alors Sanballat et Guéschem m'envoyèrent dire : Viens, et ayons ensemble une entrevue dans les villages de la vallée d'Ono. Ils avaient médité de me faire du mal. | That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief. | that Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in [one of] the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief. | Sanballat e Ghescem mi mandarono a dire: Vieni e troviamoci assieme in uno dei villaggi della valle di Ono. Essi però pensavano di farmi del male. |
| 3 | Je leur envoyai des messagers avec cette réponse : J'ai un grand ouvrage à exécuter, et je ne puis descendre ; le travail serait interrompu pendant que je quitterais pour aller vers vous. | And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you? | And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you? | Così io mandai loro dei messaggeri a dire: Sto facendo un grande lavoro e non posso scendere. Perché si dovrebbe interrompere il lavoro, mentre io lo lascio per scendere da voi?. |
| 4 | Ils m'adressèrent quatre fois la même demande, et je leur fis la même réponse. | Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner. | And they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner. | Per ben quattro volte essi mi mandarono a dire la stessa cosa, e io risposi loro nello stesso modo. |
| 5 | Sanballat m'envoya ce message une cinquième fois par son serviteur, qui tenait à la main une lettre ouverte. | Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand; | Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand, | Allora Sanballat mi mandò il suo servo a dirmi la stessa cosa per la quinta volta con in mano una lettera aperta, |
| 6 | Il y était écrit : Le bruit se répand parmi les nations et Gaschmu affirme que toi et les Juifs vous pensez à vous révolter, et que c'est dans ce but que tu rebâtis la muraille. Tu vas, dit-on, devenir leur roi, | Wherein was written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words. | wherein was written, It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel; for which cause thou art building the wall: and thou wouldest be their king, according to these words. | nella quale stava scritto: Corre voce fra le nazioni, e Gashmu l'afferma, che tu e i Giudei tramate di ribellarvi perciò, secondo queste voci, tu stai ricostruendo le mura, per diventare il loro re, |
| 7 | tu as même établi des prophètes pour te proclamer à Jérusalem roi de Juda. Et maintenant ces choses arriveront à la connaissance du roi. Viens donc, et consultons-nous ensemble. | And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together. | And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together. | e avresti persino stabilito dei profeti per fare la tua proclamazione a Gerusalemme, dicendo: "C'è un re in Giuda! Ora, queste cose saranno riferite al re. Perciò vieni e consultiamoci assieme. |
| 8 | Je fis répondre à Sanballat : Ce que tu dis là n'est pas ; c'est toi qui l'inventes ! | Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart. | Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart. | Ma io gli mandai a dire: Le cose non stanno come tu vai dicendo, ma tu le inventi nella tua stessa mente. |
| 9 | Tous ces gens voulaient nous effrayer, et ils se disaient : Ils perdront courage, et l'oeuvre ne se fera pas. Maintenant, ô Dieu, fortifie-moi ! | For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands. | For they all would have made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. But now, [O God], strengthen thou my hands. | Tutta quella gente infatti voleva farci paura e diceva: Le loro mani lasceranno il lavoro che rimarrà incompiuto. Ora perciò, o DIO, fortifica le mie mani! |
| 10 | Je me rendis chez Schemaeja, fils de Delaja, fils de Mehétabeel. Il s'était enfermé, et il dit : Allons ensemble dans la maison de Dieu, au milieu du temple, et fermons les portes du temple ; car ils viennent pour te tuer, et c'est pendant la nuit qu'ils viendront pour te tuer. | Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee. | And I went unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee. | Io andai allora a casa di Scemaiah, figlio di Delaiah, figlio di Mehetabeel, che si era rinchiuso là dentro; egli mi disse: Troviamoci assieme nella casa di DIO, dentro il tempio, e chiudiamo le porte del tempio, perché verranno ad ucciderti; essi verranno a ucciderti di notte. |
| 11 | Je répondis : Un homme comme moi prendre la fuite ! Et quel homme tel que moi pourrait entrer dans le temple et vivre ? Je n'entrerai point. | And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in. | And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in. | Ma io risposi: Può un uomo come me darsi alla fuga? Potrebbe un uomo simile a me entrare nel tempio per salvare la vita? No, io non entrerò. |
| 12 | Et je reconnus que ce n'était pas Dieu qui l'envoyait. Mais il prophétisa ainsi sur moi parce que Sanballat et Tobija lui avaient donné de l'argent. | And, lo, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. | And I discerned, and, lo, God had not sent him; but he pronounced this prophecy against me: and Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. | Compresi poi che DIO non l'aveva mandato, ma aveva pronunciato quella profezia contro di me, perché Tobiah e Sanballat l'avevano pagato. |
| 13 | En le gagnant ainsi, ils espéraient que j'aurais peur, et que je suivrais ses avis et commettrais un péché ; et ils auraient profité de cette atteinte à ma réputation pour me couvrir d'opprobre. | Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me. | For this cause was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me. | Era stato pagato proprio per questo: per farmi paura e indurmi ad agire in quel modo e a peccare, e così acquistare una cattiva fama e coprirmi di vergogna. |
| 14 | Souviens-toi, ô mon Dieu, de Tobija et de Sanballat, et de leurs oeuvres ! Souviens-toi aussi de Noadia, la prophétesse, et des autres prophètes qui cherchaient à m'effrayer ! | My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear. | Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear. | O mio DIO, ricordati di Tobiah e di Sanballat, per queste loro opere, e anche della profetessa Noadiah e degli altri profeti che hanno cercato di spaventarmi! |
| 15 | La muraille fut achevée le vingt-cinquième jour du mois d'Élul, en cinquante-deux jours. | So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days. | So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth [day] of [the month] Elul, in fifty and two days. | Or le mura furono condotte a termine il venticinquesimo giorno del mese di Elul, in cinquantadue giorni. |
| 16 | Lorsque tous nos ennemis l'apprirent, toutes les nations qui étaient autour de nous furent dans la crainte ; elles éprouvèrent une grande humiliation, et reconnurent que l'oeuvre s'était accomplie par la volonté de notre Dieu. | And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God. | And it came to pass, when all our enemies heard [thereof], that all the nations that were about us feared, and were much cast down in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God. | Quando tutti i nostri nemici lo vennero a sapere e tutte le nazioni che ci stavano attorno lo videro, si sentirono grandemente abbattuti, perché si resero conto che quest'opera si era compiuta con l'aiuto del nostro DIO. |
| 17 | Dans ce temps-là, il y avait aussi des grands de Juda qui adressaient fréquemment des lettres à Tobija et qui en recevaient de lui. | Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came unto them. | Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and [the letters] of Tobiah came unto them. | In quei giorni anche i notabili di Giuda mandavano frequenti lettere a Tobiah, e ne ricevevano da Tobiah. |
| 18 | Car plusieurs en Juda étaient liés à lui par serment, parce qu'il était gendre de Schecania, fils d'Arach, et que son fils Jochanan avait pris la fille de Meschullam, fils de Bérékia. | For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son in law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah. | For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah; and his son Jehohanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah to wife. | Molti in Giuda erano infatti legati a lui con giuramento, perché egli era genero di Scekaniah figlio di Arah, e suo figlio Jehohanan aveva sposato la figlia di Meshullam, figlio di Berekiah. |
| 19 | Ils disaient même du bien de lui en ma présence, et ils lui rapportaient mes paroles. Tobija envoyait des lettres pour m'effrayer. | Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear. | Also they spake of his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. [And] Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear. | Anche in mia presenza parlavano bene di lui e gli riferivano le mie parole. E Tobiah mandava lettere per spaventarmi |
