OET interlinear NEH 6:11

uW Translation Notes:

וָ⁠אֹמְרָ֗⁠ה

and,I,said

Alternate translation: [I responded]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הַ⁠אִ֤ישׁ כָּמ֨וֹ⁠נִי֙ יִבְרָ֔ח

a,man? (Some words not found in UHB: and,I,said a,man? like,me run_away and,who? [is]_like,me which/who go to/towards the,temple and,he_will_live not go_in )

Nehemiah is making a statement, not asking a question. He does not expect Shemiah to tell him whether or not he should run away. Instead, Nehemiah is using the question form to emphasize that he is not going to do what Shemaiah has suggested. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this question as a statement. Alternate translation: [A man like me would not run away.]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

וּ⁠מִ֥י כָמ֛וֹ⁠נִי אֲשֶׁר־יָב֥וֹא אֶל־הַ⁠הֵיכָ֖ל וָ⁠חָ֑י

and,who? [is]_like,me (Some words not found in UHB: and,I,said a,man? like,me run_away and,who? [is]_like,me which/who go to/towards the,temple and,he_will_live not go_in )

Once again Nehemiah is making a statement, not asking a question. He does not expect Shemiah to tell him whether going into the temple would save his life. Alternate translation: [A man like me would not go into the temple just to hide to stay alive.]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ⁠מִ֥י כָמ֛וֹ⁠נִי אֲשֶׁר־יָב֥וֹא אֶל־הַ⁠הֵיכָ֖ל וָ⁠חָ֑י

and,who? [is]_like,me (Some words not found in UHB: and,I,said a,man? like,me run_away and,who? [is]_like,me which/who go to/towards the,temple and,he_will_live not go_in )

It is not entirely clear what Nehemiah means by this. He could be saying that he should not go into the temple because he is not a priest. However, the Bible records instances of other people who were not priests going into the temple to seek sanctuary. So Nehemiah may be saying instead that because he is the governor he is too well known to escape from assassins by hiding in the temple. You could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: [Besides, I am the governor, and everyone knows me, so I could not save my life by trying to hide in the temple]

לֹ֖א אָבֽוֹא

not go_in

Alternate translation: [I refuse to do it!]
