Nehemiah 4

  1 G2532 And G1096 it came to pass G2259 when G191 Sanballat heard G*   G3754 that G1473 we G3618 were building G3588 the G5038 wall, G2532 that G4190 it was evil G1510.7.1   G1473 to him, G2532 and G3710 he was angry G1909 very much, G4183   G2532 and G1548.1 he was laughing out loud G1909 over G3588 the G* Jews.

  2 G2532 And G2036 he spoke G1799 before G3588   G80 his brethren, G1473   G2532 and G3588 the G1411 force G* of the Samaritans, G2532 and G2036 he said, G5100 What G3588   G* do these Judahmen G3778   G4160 do -- G3588 the G* Jews? G2756 Shall we not abandon G2641   G1473 them? G686 Is it G2378.1 to sacrifice? G686 Is it G1410 that they will be able to? G2532 And G4594 today, G2390 will they repair G3588 the G3037 stones G3326 with G3588 the G5560.1 embankment rubbish G1096 for being G2545 burnt?

  3 G2532 And G* Tobiah G3588 the G* Ammonite G2192 was next to G1473 him, G2532 and G2036 he said G4314 to G1438 them, G3532 And even if G1065   G1473 they G3618 shall build, G3780 shall not G305 [²ascend G258 ¹a fox] G2532 and G2507 demolish G3588   G5038 [²wall G3037 ³of stones G1473 ¹their]?

  4 G191 Hear, G3588 O G2316 our God! G1473   G3754 for G1096 we became G1519 for G3456.1 sneering. G2532 And G1994 return G3680 their scorning G1473   G1519 upon G2776 their head, G1473   G2532 and G1325 give G1473 them G1519 for G3456.1 sneering G1722 in G1093 a land G161 of captivity!

  5 G2532 And G3361 you should not cover G2572   G1909 over G458 their lawlessness; G1473   G2532 and G3588   G266 their sin -- G1473   G1537 [²from G4383 ³your face G1473   G3361 ¹may it not be wiped away]. G1813   G3754 For G3949 they provoked you to anger G1726 before G3588 the G3618 ones building.

  6 G2532 And G3618 we built G3588 the G5038 wall, G2532 and G4882.1 [⁴was joined together G3956 ¹all G3588 ²the G5038 ³wall] G2193 unto G3588 the G2255 half G1473 of it. G2532 And G1096 [⁵became G3588 ¹the G2588 ²heart G3588 ³of the G2992 ⁴people] G5620 so as G3618 to construct.

  7 G2532 And G1096 it came to pass G5613 as G191 Sanballat heard, G*   G2532 (and G* Tobiah, G2532 and G3588 the G* Arabians, G2532 and G3588 the G* Ammonites, G2532 and G3588 the G* Ashdodites, G3754 that G305 [⁶ascended G3588 ¹the G5437.1 ²development G3588 ³of the G5038 ⁴walls G* ⁵of Jerusalem],) G3754 that G756 they began G3588 [²the G1294.3 ³gaps G399.3 ¹to block up], G2532 that G4190 [³wicked G1473 ⁴to them G5316 ¹it appeared G4970 ²exceedingly].

  8 G2532 And G4863 they gathered G3956 all G1909 together G3588   G1473   G2064 to come G2532 and G3904.4 to deploy G1722 against G* Jerusalem, G2532 and G4160 to do G1473 it G4106.1 for a delusion.

  9 G2532 And G4336 we prayed G4314 to G3588   G2316 our God, G1473   G2532 and G2476 we set G4399.2 an advance guard G1909 against G1473 them G2250 day G2532 and G3571 night, G575 in front G4383   G1473 of them.

  10 G2532 And G2036 Judah said, G*   G4937 [⁵is broken G3588 ¹The G2479 ²strength G3588 ³of the G2190 ⁴enemies], G2532 and G3588 the G5522 dust G4183 is vast, G2532 and G1473 we G3756 shall not G1410 be able G3618 to build G1722 on G3588 the G5038 wall.

  11 G2532 And G2036 [⁴said G3588 ¹the G2346 ²ones afflicting G1473 ³us], G3756 They shall not know, G1097   G2532 and G3756 they shall not see G3708   G2193 until G3748 whenever G2064 we should come G1519 into G3319 the midst G1473 of them, G2532 and G5407 should murder G1473 them, G2532 and G2664 should cause [³to cease G3588 ¹the G2041 ²work].

  12 G2532 And G1096 it came to pass G5613 as G2064 [⁶came G3588 ¹the G* ²Jews G3588   G3611 ³living G2192 ⁴next to G1473 ⁵them], G2532 that G2036 they said G1473 to us, G305 They ascend G1537 from out of G3956 all G3588 the G5117 places G3754 that G1994 you returned G1909 from G1473 us.

  13 G2532 And G2476 I stood men G1519 in G3588 the G2737 lowermost G3588   G5117 place G2733.5 from behind G3588 the G5038 wall, G1722 in G3588 the G4629.3 protected places . G2532 And G2476 I stood G3588 the G2992 people G2596 according to G1218 peoples, G3326 with G4501 their broadswords, G1473   G2532 and G3588   G1393.2 their wooden spears, G1473   G2532 and G5115 their bows. G1473  

  14 G2532 And G1492 I beheld, G2532 and G450 I rose up, G2532 and G2036 I spoke G4314 to G3588 the G1784 important ones, G2532 and G4314 to G3588 the G4755 commandants, G2532 and G4314 to G3588 the G2645 rest G3588 of the G2992 people, saying, G3361 You should not G5399 fear G575 from G4383 their face. G1473   G3403 You should remember G3588   G2316 [⁵God G1473 ¹our G3588   G3173 ²great G2532 ³and G5398 ⁴fearful], G2532 and G3904.4 deploy G4012 for G3588   G80 your brethren, G1473   G5207 your sons, G1473   G2532 and G2364 your daughters, G1473   G2532 and G1135 your wives, G1473   G2532 and G3614 your residences! G1473  

  15 G2532 And G1096 it came to pass G2259 when G191 [²heard G3588   G2190 ¹our enemies] G1473   G3754 that G1097 it was made known G1473 to us, G2532 that G1286.1 [²effaced G3588   G2316 ¹God] G3588   G1012 their counsel, G1473   G2532 that G1994 [²returned G3956 ¹we all] G1473   G1519 to G3588 the G5038 wall, G435 every man G1519 to G3588   G2041 his work. G1473  

  16 G2532 And G1096 it came to pass G575 from G3588   G2250 that day, G1565   G2255 that half G3588 of the ones G1613.2 being arrayed G4160 did G3588 the G2041 work, G2532 and G2255 half G1473 of them G472 resisted G2532 with G3057 lances, G2532 and G2375 shields, G2532 and G5115 bows, G2532 and G2382 chest plates; G2532 and G3588 the G758 rulers G3694 were behind G3956 the whole G3624 house G* of Judah.

  17 G3588 The G3618 ones building G1722 on G3588 the G5038 wall, G2532 and G3588 the ones G142 lifting things G1722 on G3588 their G736.1 shoulders, G1774.2 [⁴armed G1722 ⁵in G1520 ⁶one G5495 ⁷hand G4160 ¹did G1473 ²his G3588   G2041 ³work], G2532 and G1722 with G1520 one hand G2902 held G3588 the G1002 arrow.

  18 G2532 And G3588 the G3620.1 builders -- G435 a man G4501 had his broadsword G1473   G2224 tied G1909 upon G3588   G3751 his loin, G1473   G2532 and G3618 they built. G2532 And G3588 the one G4537 trumpeting G1722 by G3588 the G2768.4 horn G2192 was next G1473 to me.

  19 G2532 And G2036 I said G4314 to G3588 the G1784 important ones, G2532 and G4314 to G3588 the G758 rulers, G2532 and G4314 to G3588 the G2645 rest G3588 of the G2992 people, G3588 The G2041 work G4116 is spacious G2532 and G4183 vast, G2532 and G1473 we G4650 are dispersed G1909 upon G3588 the G5038 wall, G3112 [²far G435 ¹ with each man] G575 from G3588   G80 his brother. G1473  

  20 G1722 In G5117 the place G3739 where G302 ever G191 you should hear G3588 the G5456 sound G3588 of the G2768.4 horn, G1563 gather together there G4863   G4314 to G1473 us, G2532 and G3588   G2316 our God G1473   G4170 shall wage war G4012 for G1473 us.

  21 G2532 And G1473 we G4160 were doing G3588 the G2041 work, G2532 and G3588 the G2255 half G1473 of us G2902 were holding G3588 the G3057 lances G575 from G306.1 the ascending G3588 of the G3722 dawn G2193 until G1841 the coming out G3588 of the G798 stars.

  22 G2532 And G1722 in G3588   G2540 that time G1473   G2036 I said G3588 to the G2992 people, G1538 Each one G3326 with G3588   G3495 his young one G1473   G835 shall lodge G1722 in G3319 the midst G* of Jerusalem, G2532 and G1510.5 let [²be G1473 ³to us G3588 ⁴in the G3571 ⁵night G4399.1 ¹an advance guard], G2532 and let G3588 the G2250 day G2041 be for work!

  23 G2532 And G1510.7.1 I was there, G1473   G2532 and G3588   G80 my brethren, G2532 and G3588 the G3808 young men, G2532 and G3588 the G435 men G3588 of the G4399.1 advance guard G3694 were behind G1473 me; G2532 and G3756 there was not G1510.7.3   G1537 of G1473 us G1553.1 [²being stripped G435 ¹a man] G3588   G2440 of his own garments; G1438   G435 a man G2532 and G3696 his weapons G1473   G1519 into G3588 the G5204 water.
