Kniha Nehemiášova

1 (KAT) Stalo sa to v mesiaci nisan, v dvadsiatom roku kráľa Artaxerxa. Bolo pred ním víno a ja som vzal víno a podal som ho kráľovi. Nebýval som pred ním smutný.
1 (VUL) Factum est autem in mense Nisan, anno vicesimo Artaxerxis regis, dum biberet, levavi vinum et dedi regi; non enim eram ingratus coram eo.
1 (UKJV) And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him: and I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been in time past sad in his presence.

2 (KAT) A kráľ sa ma spýtal: „Prečo je tvoj výzor taký smutný? Hádam nie si chorý? Akiste ti smútok zviera srdce.“ Veľmi som sa zľakol
2 (VUL) Dixitque mihi rex: “ Quare vultus tuus tristis est, cum te aegrotum non videam? Nihil est aliud nisi tristitia cordis ”. Et timui valde
2 (UKJV) Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is your countenance sad, seeing you are not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid,

3 (KAT) a kráľovi som odvetil: „Kráľ ži naveky! Ako by môj výzor nebol smutný, keď je mesto, kde sú hroby mojich otcov, spustnuté a jeho brány vypálené ohňom.“
3 (VUL) et dixi regi: “ Rex, in aeternum vive! Quare non maereat vultus meus, quia civitas sepulcrorum patrum meorum deserta est, et portae eius combustae sunt igne? ”.
3 (UKJV) And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchers, lies waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?

4 (KAT) Kráľ sa ma opýtal: „Čo by si rád?“ Povzdychol som k nebeskému Bohu
4 (VUL) Et ait mihi rex: “ Pro qua re postulas? ”. Et oravi Deum caeli
4 (UKJV) Then the king said unto me, For what do you make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven.

5 (KAT) a odpovedal som kráľovi: „Ak kráľ uzná za dobré a keď tvoj sluha zasluhuje tvoju milosť, ráč ma poslať do Judey, do mesta, kde sú hroby mojich otcov, aby som ho zasa postavil.“
5 (VUL) et dixi ad regem: “ Si videtur regi bonum, et si placet servus tuus ante faciem tuam, ut mittas me in Iudaeam ad civitatem sepulcrorum patrum meorum, et aedificabo eam ”.
5 (UKJV) And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if your servant have found favour in your sight, that you would send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchers, that I may build it.

6 (KAT) Kráľ sa ma ďalej pýtal (a kráľovná sedela vedľa neho): „Ako dlho ti potrvá cesta a kedy sa vrátiš?“ A kráľovi sa páčilo pustiť ma. Udal som mu čas
6 (VUL) Dixitque mihi rex, et regina sedebat iuxta eum: “ Usque ad quod tempus erit iter tuum, et quando reverteris? ”. Et placuit regi mittere me; et constitui ei tempus.
6 (UKJV) "And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him,) For how long shall your journey be? and when will you return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time. "

7 (KAT) a potom som povedal kráľovi: „Ak uzná kráľ za dobré, nech mi dajú listy pre vladárov na Záriečí, aby mi dovolili prejsť, kým neprídem do Judey,
7 (VUL) Et dixi regi: “ Si regi videtur bonum, epistulae dentur mihi ad duces regionis trans flumen, ut me transire permittant, donec veniam in Iudaeam;
7 (UKJV) "Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over till I come into Judah; "

8 (KAT) taktiež list kráľovskému polesnému Asafovi, aby mi dal drevo na pokrytie brán chrámového hradu, mestských múrov a domu, kde sa zložím.“ Kráľ mi vyhovel i v tomto, lebo bola nado mnou dobrotivá ruka môjho Boha.
8 (VUL) et epistulam ad Asaph custodem saltus regis, ut det mihi ligna, ut contignare possim portas turris domus et muri civitatis et domus, in qua habitabo ”. Et dedit mihi rex, quia manus Dei mei bona super me.
8 (UKJV) And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.

9 (KAT) A tak keď som prišiel k vladárom na Záriečí, odovzdal som im kráľovské listiny. Kráľ však so mnou poslal aj vojenských veliteľov a jazdcov.
9 (VUL) Et veni ad duces regionis trans flumen dedique eis epistulas regis. Miserat autem rex mecum principes militum et equites.
9 (UKJV) Then I came to the governors beyond the river, and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me.

10 (KAT) Keď sa o tom dozvedeli Sanabalat Choronský a amonský otrok Tobiáš, náramne sa im neľúbilo, že prišiel ktosi, komu leží na srdci blaho izraelských synov.
10 (VUL) Et audierunt Sanaballat Horonites et Thobias servus Ammanites et contristati sunt afflictione magna, quod venisset homo, qui quaereret prosperitatem filiorum Israel.
10 (UKJV) When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly that there was come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.

11 (KAT) Keď som došiel do Jeruzalema, najprv som tam čakal tri dni.
11 (VUL) Et veni Ierusalem et eram ibi tribus diebus.
11 (UKJV) So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.

12 (KAT) Potom som sa vybral v noci, ja a so mnou hŕstka mužov, lenže ani jednému som neoznámil, čo mi vnukol môj Boh vykonať pre Jeruzalem. Zviera som nemal so sebou, iba to, na ktorom som sedel.
12 (VUL) Et surrexi nocte ego, et viri pauci mecum, et non indicavi cuiquam quid Deus meus dedisset in corde meo, ut facerem in Ierusalem; et iumentum non erat mecum, nisi animal cui sedebam.
12 (UKJV) "And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon. "

13 (KAT) V noci som sa dostal bránou v údolí von k Dračej studnici a k Hnojnej bráne a poprezeral som jeruzalemský múr, ktorý bol miestami zborený. I jeho brány boli poničené ohňom.
13 (VUL) Et egressus sum per portam Vallis nocte et ad fontem Draconis et portam Sterquilinii et considerabam murum Ierusalem dissipatum et portas eius consumptas igne.
13 (UKJV) And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire.

14 (KAT) Odtiaľ som sa pobral k Studničnej bráne a ku Kráľovskému rybníku. Pretože však zviera, na ktorom som išiel, nemalo kade ísť ďalej,
14 (VUL) Et transivi ad portam Fontis et ad piscinam Regis, et non erat locus iumento cui sedebam, ut transiret.
14 (UKJV) Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the king's pool: but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.

15 (KAT) išiel som v noci hore dolinou a prezeral som múr. Potom som sa obrátil, a keď som prišiel k bráne na doline, vrátil som sa domov.
15 (VUL) Et ascendi per torrentem nocte et considerabam murum; et iterum veni ad portam Vallis et reversus sum.
15 (UKJV) Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and so returned.

16 (KAT) Predstavení (mesta) nevedeli, kam som odišiel a čo som robil. Ani Židom, ani kňazom, ani popredným, ani predstaveným, ani iným pracovníkom na stavbe som dovtedy nič neoznámil.
16 (VUL) Magistratus autem nesciebant quo abissem aut quid ego facerem, sed et Iudaeis et sacerdotibus et optimatibus et magistratibus et reliquis, qui faciebant opus, usque ad id loci nihil indicaveram.
16 (UKJV) "And the rulers knew not where I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work. "

17 (KAT) Vtedy som im povedal: „Vidíte tú tieseň, v ktorej sme. Hľa, Jeruzalem spustošený, jeho brány zničené ohňom! Poďte, stavajme jeruzalemský múr a nebuďme ďalej na potupu!“
17 (VUL) Et dixi eis: “ Vos nostis afflictionem, in qua sumus, quia Ierusalem deserta est, et portae eius consumptae sunt igne; venite et aedificemus murum Ierusalem et non simus ultra opprobrium ”.
17 (UKJV) Then said I unto them, All of you see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.

18 (KAT) Keď som im rozpovedal, ako bola dobrotivá ruka môjho Boha nado mnou, aj slová, ktoré mi vravel kráľ, povedali: „Poďme a stavajme!“ A priložili riadne ruky k dobrej veci.
18 (VUL) Et indicavi eis quod manus Dei mei bona esset super me et verba regis, quae locutus esset mihi, et dixerunt: “ Surgamus et aedificemus! ”. Et confortatae sunt manus eorum in bonum.
18 (UKJV) "Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work. "

19 (KAT) Keď sa o tom dozvedeli Sanabalat Choronský, amonský otrok Tobiáš a Arab Gešem, posmievali sa nám a s pohŕdaním nám vraveli: „Čože to tu robíte?! Ste azda odbojníkmi proti kráľovi?“
19 (VUL) Audierunt autem Sanaballat Horonites et Thobias servus Ammanites et Gosem Arabs et subsannaverunt nos et despexerunt dixeruntque: “ Quae est haec res, quam facitis? Numquid contra regem vos rebellatis? ”.
19 (UKJV) But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that all of you do? will all of you rebel against the king?

20 (KAT) Na odvetu som im povedal: „Nebeský Boh nás bude požehnávať a my, jeho služobníci, púšťame sa do práce a staviame. Vy však nemáte v Jeruzaleme ani čiastky, ani práva, ani pamiatky.“
20 (VUL) Et dedi eis responsum dicens: “ Deus caeli ipse nos facit prosperari, et nos servi eius sumus; surgamus et aedificemus. Vobis autem non est pars et ius et memoria in Ierusalem ”.
20 (UKJV) "Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but all of you have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem. "
