2Sanballat and Geshem sent me this message: "Come, let us meet together in one of the villages on the plain of Ono." But they were planning to harm me.

3So I sent messengers to them, saying, "I am doing a great work and cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it to go down to you?"
“So I sent messengers to them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?”
“And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work so that I cannot come down. And why should the work cease while I leave it and come down to you?”

“Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort, and I answered them after the same manner.”
“Yet they sent onto me four times after this sort and I answered them after the same manner.”
“Yet they sent unto me, how many? Four times after this sort. And I answered them after the same manner.”

“Then I sent to him, saying, No such thing as you say are being done, but you invent them in your own heart.”

10Later, I went to the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was confined to his house. He said: "Let us meet at the house of God inside the temple. Let us shut the temple doors because they are coming to kill you— by night they are coming to kill you!"
“Afterward, I came into the house of Shimeiah, the son of Deliah, the son of Mehetubiel, who was shut up, and he said, let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple, for they…”
“Afterward, I came to the house of Shemiah, the son of Deliah, the son of Methebil, who was shut up and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God within the temple. Let us shut the doors of the temple, for they will come…”
“Afterward, I came to the house of Shemiah, the son of Deliah, the son of, there's a lot of words here. Let's just say he was a secret informer. And he said, let us meet together in the house of God within the temple, and let us…”
11But I replied, "Should a man like me run away? Should one like me go into the temple to save his own life? I will not go!"
“And I said, Should such a man as I flee, and who is there that being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life, I will not go in.”
“and I said, quote, should such a man as I flee, and who is there such as I who would go into the temple to save his life by hiding, I will not go in.”

“And I said, Should such a man as I flee? And who is there that, being as I am, would go into a temple and save his life? I will not go in.”
12I realized that God had not sent him, but that he had uttered this prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
“And lo, I perceived that God had not sent him, but that he pronounced this prophecy against me, for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.”
“And lo, I perceived that God hath not sent him, but that he pronounced this prophecy against me, for Tobiah and Sambaled had hired him,”
“And lo, I perceived that God had not sent him, but that he pronounced this prophecy against me, for Tobiah and Samboleth had hired him.”
13He had been hired to intimidate me so that I would sin by doing as he suggested, so they could give me a bad name in order to discredit me.
“Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me.”
“For this reason he was hired, that I should be afraid and act that way in sin. So that they might have cause for an evil report. That they might reproach me.”
“Therefore was he hired that I should be afraid and do so in sin, that they might have matter for an evil report and that they might reproach me.”
14O my God, remember Tobiah and Sanballat for what they have done, and also Noadiah the prophetess and the other prophets who tried to intimidate me.
“my God, remember Tobiah and Sanballat, according to these, their works, and the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets who would have made me afraid.”
“My God, remember, remember Tobiah and Samballot according to their works, and the prophetess Nodiah and the rest of the prophets who would have made me afraid.”
15So the wall was completed in fifty-two days, on the twenty-fifth of Elul.
“So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month, Elal, in fifty and two days.”
“So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul in fifty and two days.”
“So the wall was finished on the twenty -fifth of Elul, in fifty -two days.”
16When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and disheartened, for they realized that this task had been accomplished by our God.
“And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, that they were much cast down in their own eyes, for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.”
“and it happened when all our enemies heard of it, all the nations around us saw these things that they were disheartened in their own eyes, for they perceived that this work was done by our God.”
“And it came to pass that when all our enemies heard their off, and all the heathen that were about to sell these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes. For they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.”
17Also in those days, the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and Tobiah's letters came back to them.
“Also in those days, many letters went from the nobles of Judah to Tobiah. And Tobiah's letters came to them.”
“moreover, in those days, the nobles of Judah sent many letters onto Tobiah and the letters of Tobiah came onto them.”
18For many in Judah were bound by oath to him, since he was a son-in-law of Shecaniah son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam son of Berechiah.
“many in Judah were bound by oath to him because he was the son -in -law of Shechaniah, the son of Aaron. And his son Jehonen had married the daughter of Meshulam, the son of Berechiah.”

“Also they reported his good deeds before me and uttered my words to him. And Zubayah sent letters to put me in fear.”
