And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 2 of Nehemiah. After staying three days in Jerusalem, Nehemiah goes out at night with a few men and examines the ruined walls. He has not yet revealed his plan to the authorities or the people. Silence protects the initial phase of the project and allows diagnosis to precede public mobilization.

machte ich mich des Nachts auf und wenig Männer mit mir (denn ich sagte keinem Menschen, was mir mein Gott eingegeben hatte zu tun an Jerusalem), und war kein Tier mit mir, ohne das, darauf ich ritt.
Levanteme de noche, yo y unos pocos varones conmigo, y no declaré a hombre alguno lo que Dios había puesto en mi corazón que hiciese en Jerusalem; ni había bestia conmigo, excepto la cabalgadura en que cabalgaba.
Après quoi, je me levai pendant la nuit avec quelques hommes, sans avoir dit à personne ce que mon Dieu m'avait mis au coeur de faire pour Jérusalem. Il n'y avait avec moi d'autre bête de somme que ma propre monture.
mi levai di notte, con alcuni pochi uomini, e non dichiarai ad alcuno ciò che l’Iddio mio mi metteva in cuore di fare a Gerusalemme; e non avea meco alcun’altra bestia, che quella che io cavalcava.
E de noite me levantei, eu e poucos homens comigo, e não declarei a ninguém o que o meu Deus me pôs no coração para fazer em Jerusalém; e não havia comigo animal algum, senão aquele em que estava montado.
夜間我和跟隨我的幾個人起來;但上帝感動我心要為 耶路撒冷 做的事,我並沒有告訴人。只有我自己騎的牲口,沒有別的牲口在我那裏。
