[10] καὶ ἤκουσεν Σαναβαλλατ ὁ Αρωνι καὶ Τωβια ὁ δοῦλος ὁ Αμμωνι, καὶ πονηρὸν αὐτοῖς ἐγένετο ὅτι ἥκει ἄνθρωπος ζητῆσαι ἀγαθὸν τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ.
[10] And Sanaballat the Aronite heard it, and Tobia the servant, the Ammonite, and it was grievous to them that a man was come to seek good for the children of Israel.
[11] Καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἤμην ἐκεῖ ἡμέρας τρεῖς.
[11] So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.
[12] καὶ ἀνέστην νυκτὸς ἐγὼ καὶ ἄνδρες ὀλίγοι μετ’ ἐμοῦ· καὶ οὐκ ἀπήγγειλα ἀνθρώπῳ τί ὁ θεὸς δίδωσιν εἰς καρδίαν μου τοῦ ποιῆσαι μετὰ τοῦ Ισραηλ, καὶ κτῆνος οὐκ ἔστιν μετ’ ἐμοῦ εἰ μὴ τὸ κτῆνος, ᾧ ἐγὼ ἐπιβαίνω ἐπ’ αὐτῷ.
[12] And I rose up by night, I and a few men with me; and I told no man what God put into my heart to do with Israel; and there was no beast with me, except the beast which I rode upon.
[13] καὶ ἐξῆλθον ἐν πύλῃ τοῦ γωληλα καὶ πρὸς στόμα πηγῆς τῶν συκῶν καὶ εἰς πύλην τῆς κοπρίας καὶ ἤμην συντρίβων ἐν τῷ τείχει Ιερουσαλημ, ὃ αὐτοὶ καθαιροῦσιν καὶ πύλαι αὐτῆς κατεβρώθησαν πυρί.
[13] And I went forth by the gate of the valley by night, and to the mouth of the well of fig trees, and to the dung-gate: and I mourned over the wall of Jerusalem which they were destroying, and her gates were devoured with fire.
[14] καὶ παρῆλθον ἐπὶ πύλην τοῦ Αιν καὶ εἰς κολυμβήθραν τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ οὐκ ἦν τόπος τῷ κτήνει παρελθεῖν ὑποκάτω μου.
[14] And I passed on to the fountain gate, and to the king’s pool; and there was no room for the beast to pass under me.
[15] καὶ ἤμην ἀναβαίνων ἐν τῷ τείχει χειμάρρου νυκτὸς καὶ ἤμην συντρίβων ἐν τῷ τείχει. καὶ ἤμην ἐν πύλῃ τῆς φάραγγος καὶ ἐπέστρεψα.
[15] And I went up by the wall of the brook by night, and mourned over the wall, and passed through the gate of the valley, and returned.
[16] καὶ οἱ φυλάσσοντες οὐκ ἔγνωσαν τί ἐπορεύθην καὶ τί ἐγὼ ποιῶ, καὶ τοῖς Ιουδαίοις καὶ τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν καὶ τοῖς ἐντίμοις καὶ τοῖς στρατηγοῖς καὶ τοῖς καταλοίποις τοῖς ποιοῦσιν τὰ ἔργα ἕως τότε οὐκ ἀπήγγειλα.
[16] And the sentinels knew not why I went, nor what I was doing; and until that time I told it not to the Jews, or to the priests, or to the nobles, or to the captains, or to the rest of the men who wrought the works.
[17] καὶ εἶπα πρὸς αὐτούς Ὑμεῖς βλέπετε τὴν πονηρίαν, ἐν ᾗ ἐσμεν ἐν αὐτῇ, πῶς Ιερουσαλημ ἔρημος καὶ αἱ πύλαι αὐτῆς ἐδόθησαν πυρί· δεῦτε καὶ διοικοδομήσωμεν τὸ τεῖχος Ιερουσαλημ, καὶ οὐκ ἐσόμεθα ἔτι ὄνειδος.
[17] Then I said to them, Ye see this evil, in which we are, how Jerusalem is desolate, and her gates have been set on fire: come, and let us build throughout the wall of Jerusalem, and we shall be no longer a reproach.
[18] καὶ ἀπήγγειλα αὐτοῖς τὴν χεῖρα τοῦ θεοῦ, ἥ ἐστιν ἀγαθὴ ἐπ’ ἐμέ, καὶ τοὺς λόγους τοῦ βασιλέως, οὓς εἶπέν μοι, καὶ εἶπα Ἀναστῶμεν καὶ οἰκοδομήσωμεν. καὶ ἐκραταιώθησαν αἱ χεῖρες αὐτῶν εἰς ἀγαθόν. –
[18] And I told them of the hand of God which was good upon me, also about the words of the king which he spoke to me: and I said, Let us arise and build. And their hands were strengthened for the good work.
[19] καὶ ἤκουσεν Σαναβαλλατ ὁ Αρωνι καὶ Τωβια ὁ δοῦλος ὁ Αμμωνι καὶ Γησαμ ὁ Αραβι καὶ ἐξεγέλασαν ἡμᾶς καὶ ἦλθον ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς καὶ εἶπαν Τί τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο, ὃ ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε; ἦ ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα ὑμεῖς ἀποστατεῖτε;
[19] And Sanaballat the Aronite, and Tobia the servant, the Ammonite, and Gesam the Arabian, heard it, and they laughed us to scorn, and came to us, and said, What is this thing that ye are doing? are ye revolting against the king?
[20] καὶ ἐπέστρεψα αὐτοῖς λόγον καὶ εἶπα αὐτοῖς Ὁ θεὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, αὐτὸς εὐοδώσει ἡμῖν, καὶ ἡμεῖς δοῦλοι αὐτοῦ καθαροί, καὶ οἰκοδομήσομεν· καὶ ὑμῖν οὐκ ἔστιν μερὶς καὶ δικαιοσύνη καὶ μνημόσυνον ἐν Ιερουσαλημ.
[20] And I answered them, and said to them, The God of heaven, he shall prosper us, and we his servants are pure, and we will build: but ye have no part, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.
CHAPTER 3
ΚΑΙ ἀνέστη ᾿Ελιασοὺβ ὁ ἱερεὺς ὁ μέγας καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν τὴν πύλην τὴν προβατικήν. αὐτοὶ ἡγίασαν αὐτὴν καὶ ἔστησαν θύρας αὐτῆς καὶ ἕως πύργου τῶν ἑκατὸν ἡγίασαν ἕως πύργου ᾿Αναμεὴλ
Then Eliasub the high priest, and his brethren the priests, rose up, and built the sheep-gate; they sanctified it, and set up the doors of it; even to the tower of the hundred they sanctified it, to the tower of Anameel.
[2] καὶ ἐπὶ χεῖρας ἀνδρῶν υἱῶν ῾Ιεριχὼ καὶ ἐπὶ χεῖρας υἱῶν Ζακχούρ, υἱοῦ ᾿Αμαρί.
[2] And they builded by the side of the men of Jericho, and by the side of the sons of Zacchur, the son of Amari.

[3] And the sons of Asana built the fish-gate; they roofed it, and covered in its doors, and bolts, and bars.
[4] καὶ ἐπὶ χεῖρα αὐτῶν κατέσχεν ἀπὸ Ραμὼθ υἱὸς Οὐρία, υἱοῦ ᾿Ακκώς. καὶ ἐπὶ χεῖρα αὐτῶν κατέσχε Μοσολλὰμ υἱὸς Βαραχίου υἱοῦ Μαζεβήλ, καὶ ἐπὶ χεῖρα αὐτῶν κατέσχε Σαδὼκ υἱὸς Βαανά.
[4] And next to them the order reached to Ramoth the son of Uria, the son of Accos, and next to them Mosollam son of Barachias the son of Mazebel took his place: and next to them Sadoc the son of Baana took his place.
[5] καὶ ἐπὶ χεῖρα αὐτῶν κατέσχοσαν οἱ Θεκωΐμ, καὶ ἀδωρηὲμ οὐκ εἰσήνεγκαν τράχηλον αὐτῶν εἰς δουλείαν αὐτῶν.
[5] And next to them the Thecoim took their place; but the Adorim applied not their neck to their service.
[6] καὶ τὴν πύλην ᾿Ιασαναΐ ἐκράτησαν ᾿Ιωϊδὰ υἱὸς Φασὲκ καὶ Μεσουλὰμ υἱὸς Βασωδία· αὐτοὶ ἐστέγασαν αὐτὴν καὶ ἔστησαν θύρας αὐτῆς καὶ κλεῖθρα αὐτῆς καὶ μοχλοὺς αὐτῆς.
[6] And Joida the son of Phasec, and Mesulam son of Basodia, repaired the old gate; they covered it in, and set u
p its doors, and its bolts, and its bars.
[7] καὶ ἐπὶ χεῖρα αὐτῶν ἐκράτησαν Μαλτίας ὁ Γαβαωνίτης καὶ Εὐάρων ὁ Μηρωνωθίτης, ἄνδρες τῆς Γαβαὼν καὶ τῆς Μασφὰ ἕως θρόνου τοῦ ἄρχοντος τοῦ πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ,

[11] And next to him repaired Melchias son of Heram, and Asub son of Phaat Moab, even to the tower of the furnaces.

[12] And next to him repaired Sallum the son of Alloes, the ruler of half the district round about Jerusalem, he and his daughters.
[13] τὴν πύλην τῆς φάραγγος ἐκράτησαν ᾿Ανοὺν καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες Ζανώ· αὐτοὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν αὐτὴν καὶ ἔστησαν θύρας αὐτῆς καὶ κλεῖθρα αὐτῆς καὶ μοχλοὺς αὐτῆς καὶ χιλίους πήχεις ἐν τῷ τείχει ἕως τῆς πύλης τῆς κοπρίας.
[13] Anun and the inhabitants of Zano repaired the gate of the valley: they built it, and set up its doors, and its bolts, and its bars, and a thousand cubits of the wall as far as the dung-gate.
[14] καὶ τὴν πύλην τῆς κοπρίας ἐκράτησε Μελχία υἱὸς Ρηχὰβ ἄρχων περιχώρου Βηθακχαρίμ, αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐσκέπασαν αὐτὴν καὶ ἔστησαν θύρας αὐτῆς καὶ κλεῖθρα αὐτῆς καὶ μοχλοὺς αὐτῆς.

[15] τὴν δὲ πύλην τῆς πηγῆς ἠσφαλίσατο Σαλωμὼν υἱὸς Χολεζὲ ἄρχων μέρους τῆς Μασφά· αὐτὸς ἐξῳκοδόμησεν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐστέγασεν αὐτὴν καὶ ἔστησε τὰς θύρας αὐτῆς καὶ μοχλοὺς αὐτῆς καὶ τὸ τεῖχος κολυμβήθρας τῶν κωδίων τῇ κουρᾷ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἕως τῶν κλιμάκων τῶν καταβαινουσῶν ἀπὸ πόλεως Δαυίδ.
