Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

וְ⁠גַם

and=also

This phrase indicates that what follows is more of the report that Sanballat claims he is hearing from the people in the surrounding countries. If it would be helpful in your language, you could put something in your translation to indicate this. Alternate translation: [These people are also saying that]

נְבִיאִ֡ים הֶעֱמַ֣דְתָּ לִ⁠קְרֹא֩ עָלֶ֨י⁠ךָ בִֽ⁠ירוּשָׁלִַ֜ם

prophets (Some words not found in UHB: and=also prophets set_up to=call on,you in,Jerusalem to=say king [is]_in,Judah and=now reported to/for=the_king according,the_words the=these and=now come, and,let_us_take_counsel together )

Alternate translation: [you have appointed prophets to make this proclamation about you in Jerusalem]

לֵ⁠אמֹ֗ר מֶ֚לֶךְ בִּֽ⁠יהוּדָ֔ה

to=say king (Some words not found in UHB: and=also prophets set_up to=call on,you in,Jerusalem to=say king [is]_in,Judah and=now reported to/for=the_king according,the_words the=these and=now come, and,let_us_take_counsel together )

The proclamation can be presented as a direct quotation. “Saying” can be represented by the quotation marks and whatever punctuation your language uses to introduce a quotation. Alternate translation: [The Jews now have a king of their own]

וְ⁠עַתָּה֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and=also prophets set_up to=call on,you in,Jerusalem to=say king [is]_in,Judah and=now reported to/for=the_king according,the_words the=these and=now come, and,let_us_take_counsel together )

This is not a reference to time. Sanballat is using this expression to introduce a further inference. Alternate translation: [certainly]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

יִשָּׁמַ֣ע לַ⁠מֶּ֔לֶךְ כַּ⁠דְּבָרִ֣ים הָ⁠אֵ֑לֶּה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=also prophets set_up to=call on,you in,Jerusalem to=say king [is]_in,Judah and=now reported to/for=the_king according,the_words the=these and=now come, and,let_us_take_counsel together )

If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this with an active form. Alternate translation: [King Artaxerxes will certainly hear these reports]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יִשָּׁמַ֣ע לַ⁠מֶּ֔לֶךְ כַּ⁠דְּבָרִ֣ים הָ⁠אֵ֑לֶּה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=also prophets set_up to=call on,you in,Jerusalem to=say king [is]_in,Judah and=now reported to/for=the_king according,the_words the=these and=now come, and,let_us_take_counsel together )

The implication is that when Artaxerxes hears these reports, he will be very angry with Nehemiah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: [King Artaxerxes will certainly hear these reports, and when he does, he will be very angry with you]

וְ⁠עַתָּה֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and=also prophets set_up to=call on,you in,Jerusalem to=say king [is]_in,Judah and=now reported to/for=the_king according,the_words the=these and=now come, and,let_us_take_counsel together )

This is not a reference to time. Sanballat is using this expression to introduce his conclusion. This term expresses that the sentences that came before provide the reason for the sentence that comes after. Alternate translation: [Therefore]

לְכָ֔⁠ה וְ⁠נִֽוָּעֲצָ֖ה יַחְדָּֽו

come, (Some words not found in UHB: and=also prophets set_up to=call on,you in,Jerusalem to=say king [is]_in,Judah and=now reported to/for=the_king according,the_words the=these and=now come, and,let_us_take_counsel together )

As in [6:2](../06/02.md), “come” is a word of encouragement rather than a command. Alternate translation: [So we really should meet together and talk about this]
