尼希米记 6:3

于是我差遣人去见他们，说：「我现在办理大工，不能下去。焉能停工下去见你们呢？」

yú shì wǒ chāi qiǎn rén qù jiàn tā men ， shuō ：「 wǒ xiàn zài bàn lǐ dà gōng ， bù néng xià qù 。 yān néng tíng gōng xià qù jiàn nǐ men ne ？」

I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work, so that I can’t come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and come down to you?”
