Neemia 4

Nehemiah 4

Neemia 4:1 ^
Quando Samballat udì che noi edificavamo le mura, si adirò, s’indignò fuor di modo, si fe’ beffe de’ Giudei,
Nehemiah 4:1 ^
Now, Sanballat, hearing that we were building the wall, was very angry, and in his wrath made sport of the Jews.
Neemia 4:2 ^
e disse in presenza de’ suoi fratelli e de’ soldati di Samaria: "Che fanno questi spossati Giudei? Si lasceranno fare? Offriranno sacrifizi? Finiranno in un giorno? Faranno essi rivivere delle pietre sepolte sotto mucchi di polvere e consumate dal fuoco?"
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?
Neemia 4:3 ^
Tobia l’Ammonita, che gli stava accanto, disse: "Edifichino pure! Se una volpe vi salta su, farà crollare il loro muro di pietra!"
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.
Neemia 4:4 ^
Ascolta, o Dio nostro, come siamo sprezzati! Fa’ ricadere sul loro capo il loro vituperio, e abbandonali al saccheggio in un paese di schiavitù!
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:
Neemia 4:5 ^
E non coprire la loro iniquità, e non sia cancellato dal tuo cospetto il loro peccato; poiché t’hanno provocato ad ira in presenza dei costruttori.
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.
Neemia 4:6 ^
Noi dunque riedificammo le mura che furon da pertutto compiute fino alla metà della loro altezza; e il popolo avea preso a cuore il lavoro.
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.
Neemia 4:7 ^
Ma quando Samballat, Tobia, gli Arabi, gli Ammoniti e gli Asdodei ebbero udito che la riparazione delle mura di Gerusalemme progrediva, e che le brecce cominciavano a chiudersi, n’ebbero grandissimo sdegno,
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;
Neemia 4:8 ^
e tutti quanti assieme congiurarono di venire ad attaccare Gerusalemme e a crearvi del disordine.
Nehemiah 4:8 ^
And they made designs, all of them together, to come and make an attack on Jerusalem, causing trouble there.
Neemia 4:9 ^
Allora noi pregammo l’Iddio nostro, e mettemmo contro di loro delle sentinelle di giorno e di notte per difenderci dai loro attacchi.
Nehemiah 4:9 ^
But we made our prayer to God, and had men on watch against them day and night because of them.
Neemia 4:10 ^
Que’ di Giuda dicevano: "Le forze de’ portatori di pesi vengon meno, e le macerie sono molte; noi non potremo costruir le mura!"
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.
Neemia 4:11 ^
E i nostri avversari dicevano: "Essi non sapranno e non vedranno nulla, finché noi giungiamo in mezzo a loro; allora li uccideremo, e farem cessare i lavori".
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.
Neemia 4:12 ^
E siccome i Giudei che dimoravano vicino a loro vennero dieci volte a riferirci la cosa da tutti i luoghi di loro provenienza,
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.
Neemia 4:13 ^
io, nelle parti più basse del posto, dietro le mura, in luoghi aperti, disposi il popolo per famiglie, con le loro spade le loro lance, i loro archi.
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.
Neemia 4:14 ^
E, dopo aver tutto ben esaminato, mi levai, e dissi ai notabili, ai magistrati e al resto del popolo: "Non li temete! Ricordatevi del Signore, grande e tremendo; e combattete per i vostri fratelli, per i vostri figliuoli e figliuole, per le vostre mogli e per le vostre case!"
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.
Neemia 4:15 ^
Quando i nostri nemici udirono ch’eravamo informati della cosa, Iddio frustrò il loro disegno, e noi tutti tornammo alle mura, ognuno al suo lavoro.
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
Neemia 4:16 ^
Da quel giorno, la metà de’ miei servi lavorava, e l’altra metà stava armata di lance, di scudi, d’archi, di corazze; e i capi eran dietro a tutta la casa di Giuda.
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.
Neemia 4:17 ^
Quelli che costruivan le mura e quelli che portavano o caricavano i pesi, con una mano lavoravano, e con l’altra tenevano la loro arma;
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;
Neemia 4:18 ^
e tutti i costruttori, lavorando, portavan ciascuno la spada cinta ai fianchi. Il trombettiere stava accanto a me.
Nehemiah 4:18 ^
Every builder was working with his sword at his side. And by my side was a man for sounding the horn.
Neemia 4:19 ^
E io dissi ai notabili, ai magistrati e al resto del popolo: "L’opera è grande ed estesa, e noi siamo sparsi sulle mura, e distanti l’uno dall’altro.
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:
Neemia 4:20 ^
Dovunque udrete il suon della tromba, quivi raccoglietevi presso di noi; l’Iddio nostro combatterà per noi".
Nehemiah 4:20 ^
Wherever you may be when the horn is sounded, come here to us; our God will be fighting for us.
Neemia 4:21 ^
Così continuavamo i lavori, mentre la metà della mia gente teneva impugnata la lancia, dallo spuntar dell’alba all’apparir delle stelle.
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.
Neemia 4:22 ^
In quel medesimo tempo, io dissi al popolo: Ciascuno di voi resti la notte dentro Gerusalemme coi suoi servi, per far con noi la guardia durante la notte e riprendere il lavoro di giorno".
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.
Neemia 4:23 ^
Io poi, i miei fratelli, i miei servi e gli uomini di guardia che mi seguivano, non ci spogliavamo; ognuno avea l’arma a portata di mano.
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.
