절	Good News Translation (1992)	King James Version
1	Nehemiah Overcomes Opposition to His Work When Sanballat heard that we Jews had begun rebuilding the wall, he became furious and began to ridicule us.	But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews.
2	In front of his companions and the Samaritan troops he said, “What do these miserable Jews think they're doing? Do they intend to rebuild the city? Do they think that by offering sacrifices they can finish the work in one day? Can they make building stones out of heaps of burnt rubble?”	And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?
3	Tobiah was standing there beside him, and he added, “What kind of wall could they ever build? Even a fox could knock it down!”	Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall.
4	I prayed, “Hear how they make fun of us, O God! Let their ridicule fall on their own heads. Let them be robbed of everything they have, and let them be taken as prisoners to a foreign land.	Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in the land of captivity:
5	Don't forgive the evil they do and don't forget their sins, for they have insulted us who are building.”	And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.
6	So we went on rebuilding the wall, and soon it was half its full height, because the people were eager to work.	So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
7	Sanballat, Tobiah, and the people of Arabia, Ammon, and Ashdod heard that we were making progress in rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem and that the gaps in the wall were being closed, and they became very angry.	But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,
8	So they all plotted together to come and attack Jerusalem and create confusion,	And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
9	but we prayed to our God and kept men on guard against them day and night.	Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
10	The people of Judah had a song they sang: “We grow weak carrying burdens; There's so much rubble to take away. How can we build the wall today?”	And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.
11	Our enemies thought we would not see them or know what was happening until they were already upon us, killing us and putting an end to our work.	And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.
12	But time after time Jews who were living among our enemies came to warn us of the plans our enemies were making against us.	And it came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times, From all places whence ye shall return unto us they will be upon you.
13	So I armed the people with swords, spears, and bows, and stationed them by clans behind the wall, wherever it was still unfinished.	Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
14	I saw that the people were worried, so I said to them and to their leaders and officials, “Don't be afraid of our enemies. Remember how great and terrifying the Lord is, and fight for your relatives, your children, your wives, and your homes.”	And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
15	Our enemies heard that we had found out what they were plotting, and they realized that God had defeated their plans. Then all of us went back to rebuilding the wall.	And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.
16	From then on half of my men worked and half stood guard, wearing coats of armor and armed with spears, shields, and bows. And our leaders gave their full support to the people	And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.
17	who were rebuilding the wall. Even those who carried building materials worked with one hand and kept a weapon in the other,	They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.
18	and everyone who was building kept a sword strapped to their waist. The man who was to sound the alarm on the bugle stayed with me.	For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.
19	I told the people and their officials and leaders, “The work is spread out over such a distance that we are widely separated from one another on the wall.	And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another.
20	If you hear the bugle, gather around me. Our God will fight for us.”	In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us.
21	So every day, from dawn until the stars came out at night, half of us worked on the wall, while the other half stood guard with spears.	So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.
22	During this time I told the men in charge that they and all their helpers had to stay in Jerusalem at night, so that we could guard the city at night as well as work in the daytime.	Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour on the day.
23	I didn't take off my clothes even at night, neither did any of my companions nor my servants nor my bodyguards. And we all kept our weapons at hand.	So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, none of us put off our clothes, saving that every one put them off for washing.
