NehemiahChapter 1 |
|
1 THE words of Nehemiah the son of Helakiah. And it came to pass in the month of Canun, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace, |
|
2 That Hanan, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the remnant of the Jews who were left of the captivity and also concerning Jerusalem. |
|
3 And these men whom I asked said to me, The men who had escaped the captivity, behold, they are there in the city, dwelling in misery and reproach; the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire. |
|
4 When I heard these words, I sat down and wept and mourned for many days, and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven. |
|
5 And I said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the mighty, the great and revered God, who keeps truth and grace for those who love him and keep his commandments; |
|
6 Let thine eyes now be open, and thine ears attentive, to hear the prayer of thy servant which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and I confess the sins of the children of Israel which they have sinned against thee; moreover, both I and my father's house have sinned before thee. |
|
7 And we have not kept all the commandments nor the statutes nor the ordinances which thou didst command thy servant Moses. |
|
8 Remember now all the commandments which thou didst command thy servant Moses, saying, If you transgress against me, I will scatter you among the nations; |
|
9 But if you turn to me and keep my laws and do them, then though your scattered ones were in the uttermost part of heaven, vet I will gather you from thence and bring you to the place that I have chosen to set my name there. |
|
10 Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast saved by thy great power and by thy strong hand. |
|
11 O LORD, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant and to the prayer of those who are willing to worship thy name; and save thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was cup hearer to the king. |
尼希米記第1章 |
|
1 哈迦利子尼希米著述如左、亞達泄西王二十年、其流士月、我在書山宮、 |
|
2 我同宗哈拿尼與猶大數人、咸來就見、我問之曰、猶大人被虜而歸者安否、耶路撒冷之事若何。 |
|
3 彼曰、猶大人被虜而歸者、遭難受辱、耶路撒冷城堞仍墮、邑門仍燬。 |
|
4 我聞之、深以爲憂、坐而哭泣、數日飲食俱廢。祈禱天上上帝、 |
|
5 曰、天上知主耶和華、具能可畏之上帝、凡敬愛爾、守爾誡者、爾矜憐之、踐爾前言、 |
|
6 我爲爾僕、晨夕祈禱、求爾施恩於衆僕‧以色列族願爾垂顧、冀爾俯聞、我與室人、及以色列族多獲罪愆、今於爾前、自言己過、 |
|
7 我嘗違逆獲罪於爾、爾所諭爾僕摩西之禁令禮儀法度、未嘗恪守、 |
|
8 昔 |
|
9 爾諭僕摩西云、若民犯罪、必散於列邦、如其翻然悔改、遵我誡命、雖被逐至天涯、我必由彼安集之、使復歸所簡之地、爲龥我名之所、請爾毋忘斯言焉、 |
|
10 斯民也、皆爾僕從、爾以巨能大力拯之、 |
|
11 今求耶和華垂聽爾僕、及寅畏爾者所祈、使我今日亨通、沾恩於王、當是時我爲王酒正。 |
