And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 2 of Nehemiah. Nehemiah continues the inspection toward the Fountain Gate and the King’s Pool, discovering that some sections are so damaged that they obstruct passage. The description confirms that the problem is not merely symbolic: the city requires extensive physical reconstruction before it can regain security.

Und die Obersten wußten nicht, wo ich hinging oder was ich machte; denn ich hatte bis daher den Juden und den Priestern, den Ratsherren und den Obersten und den andern, die am Werk arbeiteten, nichts gesagt.
Y no sabían los magistrados dónde yo había ido, ni qué había hecho; ni hasta entonces lo había yo declarado a los Judíos y sacerdotes, ni a los nobles y magistrados, ni a los demás que hacían la obra.
Los oficiales no sabían adónde había ido ni lo que estaba haciendo. Hasta entonces no lo había comunicado a los judíos, a los sacerdotes, a los nobles, a los oficiales ni a los demás que hacían la obra.
Les magistrats ignoraient où j'étais allé, et ce que je faisais. Jusqu'à ce moment, je n'avais rien dit aux Juifs, ni aux sacrificateurs, ni aux grands, ni aux magistrats, ni à aucun de ceux qui s'occupaient des affaires.
Ora i magistrati non sapevano ove io fossi andato, nè ciò che io facessi; ed io fino allora non l’avea dichiarato nè ai Giudei, nè a’ sacerdoti, nè agli uomini notabili, nè a’ magistrati, nè agli altri che aveano la cura dell’opera.
E não souberam os magistrados aonde eu fora nem o que eu fazia; porque ainda nem aos judeus, nem aos sacerdotes, nem aos nobres, nem aos magistrados, nem aos mais que faziam a obra, até então tinha declarado coisa alguma.
我往哪裏去,我做甚麼事,官長都不知道。我也沒有告訴 猶大 人、祭司、貴族、官長和其餘做工的人。
