Then Judah said,“ The strength of the laborers is failing, and there is so much rubbish that we are not able to build the wall.”

犹大人说：“灰土尚多，扛抬的人力气已经衰败，所以我们不能建造城墙。”

但犹大有话说：“扛抬的人力气衰弱，瓦砾太多，我们自己不可能建造城墙。”

但犹大有话说：“扛抬的人力气衰弱，瓦砾太多，我们自己不可能建造城墙。”

犹大人说：“工人已经筋疲力尽，还有太多瓦砾有待清理，我们自己无法重建城墙。”

犹大人说：“搬运的人气力已经衰弱，但瓦砾仍多，我们不能再建城墙了！”

猶大人說：「灰土尚多，扛擡的人力氣已經衰敗，所以我們不能建造城牆。」

但猶大有話說：「扛抬的人力氣衰弱，瓦礫太多，我們自己不可能建造城牆。」

但猶大有話說：「扛抬的人力氣衰弱，瓦礫太多，我們自己不可能建造城牆。」

猶大人說：「工人已經精疲力盡，還有太多瓦礫有待清理，我們自己無法重建城牆。」

猶大人說：“搬運的人氣力已經衰弱，但瓦礫仍多，我們不能再建城牆了！”

猶大人說：『重苦力的力氣已經衰失，而灰土還多；所以就我們來說，我們是不能建造城牆的。』

猶大人曰、瓦礫尚多、負荷者力匱、我儕不能築垣、

猶大人曰、瓦礫尚多、負荷乏力、不能築垣。

猶大人曰、灰土尚多、負荷者之力已竭、我儕不能建城垣、

Meanwhile, the people in Judah said,“ The strength of the laborers is giving out, and there is so much rubble that we cannot rebuild the wall.”

During that time, the people in Judah spoke up. They said,“ The workers are getting weaker and weaker all the time. Broken stones are piled up everywhere. They are in our way. So we can’t rebuild the wall.”

In Judah it was said,“ The strength of those who bear the burdens is failing. There is too much rubble. By ourselves we will not be able to rebuild the wall.”

Then the people of Judah began to complain,“ The workers are getting tired, and there is so much rubble to be moved. We will never be able to build the wall by ourselves.”

In Judah, it was said: The strength of the laborer fails, since there is so much rubble. We will never be able to rebuild the wall.

And so in Judah it was said:“ The strength of the burden bearers is failing, Yet there is much rubble; And we ourselves are unable To rebuild the wall.”

And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.

In Judah, it was said: The strength of the laborer fails, since there is so much rubble. We will never be able to rebuild the wall.

And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and[ there is] much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.

Then those in Judah said,“ The strength of the laborers has failed! The debris is so great that we are unable to rebuild the wall.”

Judah said,“ The strength of the bearers of burdens is fading, and there is much rubble; so that we are not able to build the wall.”

“ Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to labor strenuously against Tyre; every head was made bald, and every shoulder rubbed raw; yet neither he nor his army received wages from Tyre, for the labor which they expended on it.

But the men who had gone up with him said,“ We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.”

“ Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, saying:‘ This people says,“ The time has not come, the time that the Lord’s house should be built.”’”

And he made seventy thousand of them bearers of burdens, eighty thousand stonecutters in the mountain, and three thousand six hundred overseers to make the people work.

In the Lord I put my trust; How can you say to my soul,“ Flee as a bird to your mountain”?For look! The wicked bend their bow, They make ready their arrow on the string, That they may shoot secretly at the upright in heart.

For when they went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, so that they did not go into the land which the Lord had given them.
