Will they complete their restoration in a single day? Will they recover these stones, burnt as they are, from the heaps of dust?" 向他们的同僚即撒玛黎雅的军队说:“这些可怜的犹太人想作什么?他们想要修筑城垣吗?想要献祭吗?想要在一天内完成吗?想从那堆灰土中,在立起那些烧过的石头来吗?” 35 Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said: "It is a rubble heap they are building. Any fox that attacked it would breach their wall of stones!" 阿孟托人托彼雅也在旁说到:“让他们修罢!就是上去一只野狗,也能推翻他们修的石墙。” 36 Take note, O our God, how we were mocked! Turn back their derision upon their own heads and let them be carried away to a land of captivity! 我们的天主,请听!我们是怎样受侮辱!请把这辱骂归到他们的头上,使他们在流亡之地受迫害。 37 Hide not their crime and let not their sin be blotted out in your sight, for they insulted the builders to their face! 不要遮掩他们的罪行,他们的罪孽也不应从你面前抹去,因为他们实在侮辱了修建的人。 38 We, however, continued to build the wall, which was soon filled in and completed up to half its height. The people worked with a will. 我们仍继续修建城墙,把整个城墙都联结起来,高底已到一半,因为民众都有心火工作。 Footnotes(注解) 1 [1-32] The construction work on the gates and walls of the city is described in counterclockwise direction, beginning and ending at the Sheep Gate (to the north of the temple).
