Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-sequential
וָאָב֖וֹא לִֽירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם
and,came to,Jerusalem
In this context, the conjunction And at the beginning of this phrase indicates that this event took place after the event the story has just described. If it would be helpful in your language, you could show this relationship by using a phrase such as “and so.”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-time-sequential
וָאָבִ֣ינָה
and,discovered,
In this context, the conjunction And at the beginning of this phrase indicates that this event took place after the event in the previous sentence. If it would be helpful in your language, you could show this relationship by using a phrase such as “when I got there, I discovered”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וָאָבִ֣ינָה בָרָעָ֗ה
and,discovered, in/on/at/with,evil
In this context, this phrase means “came to understand the evil” or “discovered the evil” or “realized the evil.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use any of those phrases or a similar one as an alternate translation.
בָרָעָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר עָשָׂ֤ה אֶלְיָשִׁיב֙ לְט֣וֹבִיָּ֔ה לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת לוֹ֙ נִשְׁכָּ֔ה בְּחַצְרֵ֖י בֵּ֥ית הָאֱלֹהִֽים
in/on/at/with,evil which/who he/it_had_made Eliashib for,Tobiah for=doing to=him/it room in/on/at/with,courts house_of the=ʼElohīm
While in the book of Nehemiah the word evil often means things like “sad” or “harmful,” in this context, the word does describe something that is morally bad and destructive. Eliashib had not done this wrong thing to Tobiah, but on his behalf. Alternate translation: “about the wrong thing that Eliashib had done by allowing Tobiah to move into a storeroom within the temple courts”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בֵּ֥ית הָאֱלֹהִֽים
house_of the=ʼElohīm
Nehemiah speaks of the temple as the house of God as if it were God’s dwelling place. Alternate translation: “the temple”
