Los oficiales no sabían adónde yo había ido ni qué había hecho, ni tampoco se lo había hecho saber todavía a los judíos, ni a los sacerdotes, ni a los nobles, ni a los oficiales, ni a los demás que hacían la obra.
Y no sabían los magistrados a 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.

the rulers: Nehemiah 2:12
Reciprocal: Exodus 24:11 - nobles
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did..... The rulers of the city of Jerusalem, who seem to be officers of the king of Persia, since they are distinguished from Jewish rulers in the next clause:
neither had I as yet told it to the Jews; what he came about and designed to do:
nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers; the principal men among the Jews, both ecclesiastical and civil:
nor to the rest that did the work; of building and repairing; neither those that were employed in it, nor those that overlooked it.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The rulers - The principal authorities of the city, in the absence of the special governor.
The rest that did the work - i. e. “the laboring class that (afterward) actually built the wall.â€
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 16. The rulers knew not whither I went — He made no person privy to his design, that he might hide every thing as much as possible from their enemies till he had all things in readiness; lest they should take measures to defeat the work.
