Old Testament
Nehemiah
Factum est autem, cum audisset Sanaballat quod ædificaremus murum, iratus est valde: et motus nimis subsannavit Judæos,
And it came to pass, that when Sanaballat heard that we were building the wall he was angry: and being moved exceedingly he scoffed at the Jews.
Facto es autem, cum Sanaballate audi quod aedifica muro, irascor es valde: et move nimis subsanna Iudaeos,
et dixit coram fratribus suis, et frequentia Samaritanorum: Quid Judæi faciunt imbecilles? num dimittent eos gentes? num sacrificabunt, et complebunt in una die? numquid ædificare poterunt lapides de acervis pulveris, qui combusti sunt?
And said before his brethren, and the multitude of the Samaritans: What are the silly Jews doing? Will the Gentiles let them alone? will they sacrifice and make an end in a day? are they able to raise stones out of the heaps of the rubbish, which are burnt?
Et dic coram fratres suo, et frequentia de Samaritanis: Iudaeos fac quid imbecille? An gentes dimitte illos? An sacrifica, et comple in uno die? Numquid aedifica lapides pote de acervos de pulvere, qui combure es?
Sed et Tobias Ammanites, proximus ejus, ait: Ædificent: si ascenderit vulpes, transiliet murum eorum lapideum.
Tobias also the Ammonite who was by him said: Let them build: if a fox go up, he will leap over their stone wall.
Sed et Tobiase Ammanite, proximo de illo, dic: aedifica: si vulpe ascende, transeli muro de illos lapideo.
Audi, Deus noster, quia facti sumus despectui: converte opprobrium super caput eorum, et da eos in despectionem in terra captivitatis.
Hear thou our God, for we are despised: turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them to be despised in a land of captivity.
Audi, Deo nostro, quia fac es ad despectu: converte opprobrio super capite de illos, et da illos in despectione in terra de captivitate.
Ne operias iniquitatem eorum, et peccatum eorum coram facie tua non deleatur, quia irriserunt ædificantes.
Cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thy face, because they have mocked thy builders.
Ne operi iniquitate de illos, et peccato de illos coram facie tuo non dele, quia irride aedifica.
Itaque ædificavimus murum, et conjunximus totum usque ad partem dimidiam: et provocatum est cor populi ad operandum.
So we built the wall, and joined it all together unto the half thereof: and the heart of the people was excited to work.
Itaque aedifica muro, et coniunge toto usque ad parte dimidia: et provoca es corde de populo ad operor.
Factum est autem, cum audisset Sanaballat, et Tobias, et Arabes, et Ammanitæ, et Azotii, quod obducta esset cicatrix muri Jerusalem, et quod cœpissent interrupta concludi, irati sunt nimis.
And it came to pass, when Sanaballat, and Tobias, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Azotians heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and the breaches began to be closed, that they were exceedingly angry.
Facto es autem, cum audi Sanaballate, et Tobiase, et Arabes, et Ammanitas, et de Azotio, quod obduce es cicatrice de muro Ierusalem, et quod incipe interrupi conclude, irascor es nimis.
Et congregati sunt omnes pariter ut venirent, et pugnarent contra Jerusalem, et molirentur insidias.
And they all assembled themselves together, to come, and to fight against Jerusalem, and to prepare ambushes.
Et congrega es omni pariter ut veni, et pugna contra Ierusalem, et molior insidias.
Et oravimus Deum nostrum, et posuimus custodes super murum die ac nocte contra eos.
And we prayed to our God, and set watchmen upon the wall day and night against them.
Et ora Deo nostro, et pone custodes super muro die et nocte contra illos.
Dixit autem Judas: Debilitata est fortitudo portantis, et humus nimia est, et nos non poterimus ædificare murum.
And Juda said: The strength of the bearer of burdens is decayed, and the rubbish is very much, and we shall not be able to build the wall.
Iudase autem dic: debilita es fortitudine porta, et humo nimia es, et nos non pote aedifica muro.
Et dixerunt hostes nostri: Nesciant, et ignorent donec veniamus in medium eorum, et interficiamus eos, et cessare faciamus opus.
And our enemies said: Let them not know, nor understand, till we come in the midst of them, and kill them, and cause the work to cease.
Et hostes nostro dic: ne sci, et ignora usque que veni in medio de illos, et interfice illos, et cessa fac opere.
Factum est autem venientibus Judæis qui habitabant juxta eos, et dicentibus nobis per decem vices, ex omnibus locis quibus venerant ad nos,
And it came to pass, that when the Jews that dwelt by them came and told us ten times, out of all the places from whence they came to us,
Facto es autem veni Iudaeos qui habita juxta illos, et dic ad nos per deceme vice, ex omni locos ad que veni ad nos,
statui in loco post murum per circuitum populum in ordinem cum gladiis suis, et lanceis, et arcubus.
I set the people in the place behind the wall round about in order, with their swords, and spears, and bows.
Statue in loco post muro per circuitu populo in ordine cum gladios suo, et lanceas, et arcus.
Et perspexi atque surrexi: et aio ad optimates et magistratus, et ad reliquam partem vulgi: Nolite timere a facie eorum: Domini magni et terribilis mementote, et pugnate pro fratribus vestris, filiis vestris, et filiabus vestris, et uxoribus vestris, et domibus vestris.
And I looked and rose up: and I said to the chief men and the magistrates, and to the rest of the common people: be not afraid of them. Remember the Lord who is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, and your wives, and your houses.
Et perspicie et surge: et ai ad optimates et magistratus, et ad reliqua parte vulgo: ne vol time ab facie de illos: de domino magna et de terribili meminisse, et pugna pro fratres vestro, filios vestro, et filias vestro, et uxores vestro, et domos vestro.
Factum est autem, cum audissent inimici nostri nuntiatum esse nobis, dissipavit Deus consilium eorum. Et reversi sumus omnes ad muros, unusquisque ad opus suum.
And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that the thing had been told us, that God defeated their counsel. And we returned all of us to the walls, every man to his work.
Facto es autem, cum inimicos nostro audi nuntia es ad nos, Deo dissipa consilio de illos. Et reverte es omni ad muros, et unusquis ad opere suo.
Et factum est a die illa, media pars juvenum eorum faciebat opus, et media parata erat ad bellum: et lanceæ, et scuta, et arcus, et loricæ, et principes post eos in omni domo Juda.
And it came to pass from that day forward, that half of their young men did the work, and half were ready for to fight, with spears, and shields, and bows, and coats of mail, and the rulers were behind them in all the house of Juda.
Et facto es ab die illa, medio parte de iuvenos de illos fac opere, et medio para es ad bello: et lanceas, et scutos, et arcus, et loricas, et principes post illos in omni domo Iuda.
Ædificantium in muro, et portantium onera, et imponentium: una manu sua faciebat opus, et altera tenebat gladium:
Of them that built on the wall and that carried burdens, and that laded: with one of his hands he did the work, and with the other he held a sword.
Aedifica in muro, et porta oneres, et impone: uno manu suo fac opere, et altero tene gladio:
ædificentium enim unusquisque gladio erat accinctus renes. Et ædificabant, et clangebant buccina juxta me.
For every one of the builders was girded with a sword about his reins. And they built, and sounded with a trumpet by me.
Aedifica nam et unusquis gladio es accinge rene. Et aedifica, et clange buccina juxta me.
Et dixi ad optimates, et ad magistratus, et ad reliquam partem vulgi: Opus grande est et latum, et nos separati sumus in muro procul alter ab altero:
And I said to the nobles, and to the magistrates, and to the rest of the common people: The work is great and wide, and we are separated on the wall one far from another:
Et dic ad optimates, et ad magistratus, et ad reliqua parte vulgo: opere grandi es et fer, et nos separa es in muro procul altero ab altero:
in loco quocumque audieritis clangorem tubæ, illuc concurrite ad nos: Deus noster pugnabit pro nobis.
In what place soever you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, run all thither unto us: our God will fight for us.
In loco quocumque audi clangore de tuba, illuc concurre ad nos: deo nostro pugna pro nos.
Et nos ipsi faciamus opus, et media pars nostrum teneat lanceas ab ascensu auroræ donec egrediantur astra.
And let us do the work: and let one half of us hold our spears from the rising of the morning, till the stars appear.
Et nos ipso fac opere, et medio parte nostro tene lanceas ab ascensu de aurora usque que astros egredior.
In tempore quoque illo dixi populo: Unusquisque cum puero suo maneat in medio Jerusalem, et sint nobis vices per noctem et diem ad operandum.
At that time also I said to the people: Let every one with his servant stay in the midst of Jerusalem, and let us take our turns in the night, and by day, to work.
In tempore etiam illo dic ad populo: et unusquis cum puero suo mane in medio Ierusalem, et es ad nos vices per nocte et die ad operor.
Ego autem et fratres mei, et pueri mei, et custodes, qui erant post me, non deponebamus vestimenta nostra: unusquisque tantum nudabatur ad baptismum.
Now I and my brethren, and my servants, and the watchmen that followed me, did not put off our clothes: only every man stripped himself when he was to be washed.
Me autem et fratres meo, et pueros meo, et custodes, qui es post me, non depone vestimentos nostro: et unusquis tanto nuda ad baptismo.
