1 The words1697 of Nehemiah5166 the son1121 of Hachaliah.2446 And it came to pass1961 in the month2320 Chisleu,3691 in the twentieth6242 year,8141 as I589 was1961 in Shushan7800 the palace,1002
|
1 哈迦利亞的兒子尼希米的言語如下:亞達薛西王二十年基斯流月,我在書珊宮[palace]中。
|
2 That Hanani,2607 one259 of my brethren,4480 251 came,935 he1931 and certain men376 of Judah;4480 3063 and I asked7592 them concerning5921 the Jews3064 that had escaped,6413 which834 were left7604 of4480 the captivity,7628 and concerning5921 Jerusalem.3389
|
2 那時,有我一個弟兄哈拿尼,同著幾個人從猶大來。我問他們那些被擄歸回、剩下逃脫的猶太人和耶路撒冷的光景。
|
3 And they said559 unto me, The remnant7604 that834 are left7604 of4480 the captivity7628 there8033 in the province4082 are in great1419 affliction7451 and reproach:2781 the wall2346 of Jerusalem3389 also is broken down,6555 and the gates8179 thereof are burned3341 with fire.784
|
3 他們對我說:「那些被擄歸回剩下的人在猶大省遭大難,受凌辱;並且耶路撒冷的城牆拆毀,城門被火焚燒。」
|
4 And it came to pass,1961 when I heard8085 853 these428 words,1697 that I sat down3427 and wept,1058 and mourned56 certain days,3117 and fasted,1961 6684 and prayed6419 before6440 the God430 of heaven,8064
|
4 我聽見這些[these]話,就坐下哭泣,悲哀幾日,在天上的神面前禁食祈禱[and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,],
|
5 And said,559 I beseech577 thee, O LORD3068 God430 of heaven,8064 the great1419 and terrible3372 God,410 that keepeth8104 covenant1285 and mercy2617 for them that love157 him and observe8104 his commandments: 4687
|
5 並說:「我求你[And said, I beseech thee],耶和華─天上的神,大而可畏的神啊,你向愛你、守你誡命的人守約施慈愛。
|
6 Let thine ear241 now4994 be1961 attentive,7183 and thine eyes5869 open,6605 that thou mayest hear8085 413 the prayer8605 of thy servant,5650 which834 I595 pray6419 before6440 thee now,3117 day3119 and night,3915 for5921 the children1121 of Israel3478 thy servants,5650 and confess3034 5921 the sins2403 of the children1121 of Israel,3478 which834 we have sinned2398 against thee: both I589 and my father's1 house1004 have sinned.2398
|
6 如今[now]願你睜眼看,側耳聽,你僕人晝夜在你面前為你眾僕人以色列民的祈禱,承認我們以色列人向你所犯的罪;我與我父家都有罪了。
|
7 We have dealt very corruptly2254 2254 against thee, and have not3808 kept8104 853 the commandments,4687 nor the statutes,2706 nor the judgments,4941 which834 thou commandedst6680 853 thy servant5650 Moses.4872
|
7 我們向你所行的甚是敗壞[corruptly],沒有遵守你藉著僕人摩西所吩咐的誡命、律例、典章。
|
8 Remember,2142 I beseech4994 thee,853 the word1697 that834 thou commandedst6680 853 thy servant5650 Moses,4872 saying,559 If ye859 transgress,4603 I589 will scatter you abroad6327 853 among the nations: 5971
|
8 求你記念所吩咐你僕人摩西的話,說:『你們若犯罪,我就把你們分散在列國[nations]中;
|
9 But if ye turn7725 unto413 me, and keep8104 my commandments,4687 and do6213 them; though518 there were1961 of you cast out5080 unto the uttermost part7097 of the heaven,8064 yet will I gather6908 them from thence,4480 8033 and will bring935 them unto413 the place4725 that834 I have chosen977 to set7931 853 my name8034 there.8033
|
9 但你們若歸向我,謹守遵行我的誡命,你們被趕散的人雖在天涯,我也必從那裏將他們招聚回來,帶到我所選擇立為我名的居所。』
|
10 Now these1992 are thy servants5650 and thy people,5971 whom834 thou hast redeemed6299 by thy great1419 power,3581 and by thy strong2389 hand.3027
|
10 這都是你的僕人、你的百姓,就是你用大力和大能的手所救贖的。
|
11 O Lord,136 I beseech577 thee, let now4994 thine ear241 be1961 attentive7183 to413 the prayer8605 of thy servant,5650 and to413 the prayer8605 of thy servants,5650 who desire2655 to fear3372 853 thy name:8034 and prosper,6743 I pray4994 thee, thy servant5650 this day,3117 and grant5414 him mercy7356 in the sight6440 of this2088 man.376 For I589 was1961 the king's4428 cupbearer.4945
|
11 主啊,現在[now]求你側耳聽你僕人的祈禱,和喜愛敬畏你名眾僕人的祈禱,願你[pray thee]使你僕人現今亨通,在王眼[sight]前蒙恩。」我是作王酒政的。
