尼希米记 13
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1当日,人念 摩西 的 律法 书给百姓听,遇见书上写着说, 亚扪 人和 摩押 人永不可入 神的会;
1And on that day they read in the book of Moses in the hearing of the people: and therein was found written, that the Ammonites and the Moabites should not come in to the church of God for ever:
2因为他们没有拿食物和水来迎接 以色列 人,且雇了 巴兰 咒诅他们,但我们的 神使那咒诅变为祝福。
2Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and water: and they hired against them Balaam, to curse them, and our God turned the curse into blessing.
3以色列 民听见这律法,就与一切闲杂人绝交。
3And it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated every stranger from Israel.
4先是蒙派管理我们 神殿中库房的祭司 以利亚实 与 多比雅 结亲,
4And over this thing was Eliasib the priest, who was set over the treasury of the house of our God, and was near akin to Tobias.
5便为他预备一间大屋子,就是从前收存素祭、乳香、器皿,和照命令供给 利未 人、歌唱的、守门的五谷、新酒,和油的十分之一,并归祭司举祭的屋子。
5And he made him a great storeroom, where before him they laid up gifts, and frankincense, and vessels, and the tithes of the corn, of the wine, and of the oil, the portions of the Levites, and of the singing men, and of the porters, and the firstfruits of the priests.
6那时我不在 耶路撒冷 ;因为 巴比伦 王 亚达薛西 三十二年,我回到王那里。过了多日,我向王告假。
6But in all this time I was not in Jerusalem, because in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon, I went to the king, and after certain days I asked the king:
7我来到 耶路撒冷 ,就知道 以利亚实 为 多比雅 在 神殿的院内预备屋子的那件恶事。
7And I came to Jerusalem, and I understood the evil that Eliasib had done for Tobias, to make him a storehouse in the courts of the house of God.
8我甚恼怒,就把 多比雅 的一切家具从屋里都抛出去,
8And it seemed to me exceeding evil. And I cast forth the vessels of the house of Tobias out of the storehouse.
9吩咐人洁净这屋子,遂将 神殿的器皿和素祭、乳香又搬进去。
9And I commanded and they cleansed the storehouses: and I brought thither again the vessels of the house of God, the sacrifice, and the frankincense.
10我见 利未 人所当得的分无人供给他们,甚至供职的 利未 人与歌唱的俱各奔回自己的田地去了。
10And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: and that the Levites, and the singing men, and they that ministered were fled away every man to his own country:
11我就斥责官长说:「为何离弃 神的殿呢?」我便招聚 利未 人,使他们照旧供职。
11And I pleaded the matter against the magistrates, and said: Why have we forsaken the house of God? And I gathered them together, and I made them to stand in their places.
12犹大 众人就把五谷、新酒,和油的十分之一送入库房。
12And all Juda brought the tithe of the corn, and the wine, and the oil into the storehouses.
13我派祭司 示利米雅 、文士 撒督 ,和 利未 人 毗大雅 作库官管理库房;副官是 哈难 。 哈难 是 撒刻 的儿子; 撒刻 是 玛他尼 的儿子。这些人都是忠信的,他们的职分是将 所供给的 分给他们的弟兄。
13And we set over the storehouses Selemias the priest, and Sadoc the scribe, and of the Levites Phadaia, and next to them Hanan the son of Zachur, the son of Mathania: for they were approved as faithful, and to them were committed the portions of their brethren.
14我的 神啊,求你因这事记念我,不要涂抹我为 神的殿与其中的礼节所行的善。
14Remember me, O my God, for this thing, and wipe not out my kindnesses, which I have done relating to the house of my God and his ceremonies.
15那些日子,我在 犹大 见有人在安息日榨酒,搬运禾捆驮在驴上,又把酒、葡萄、无花果,和各样的担子在安息日担入 耶路撒冷 ,我就在他们卖食物的那日警戒他们。
15In those days I saw in Juda some treading the presses on the sabbath, and carrying sheaves, and lading asses with wine, and grapes, and figs, and all manner of burthens, and bringing them into Jerusalem on the sabbath day. And I charged them that they should sell on a day on which it was lawful to sell.
16又有 泰尔 人住在 耶路撒冷 ;他们把鱼和各样货物运进来,在安息日卖给 犹大 人。
16Some Tyrians also dwelt there, who brought fish, and all manner of wares: and they sold them on the sabbaths to the children of Juda in Jerusalem.
17我就斥责 犹大 的贵胄说:「你们怎么行这恶事犯了安息日呢?
17And I rebuked the chief men of Juda, and said to them: What is this evil thing that you are doing, profaning the sabbath day?
18从前你们列祖岂不是这样行,以致我们 神使一切灾祸临到我们和这城吗?现在你们还犯安息日,使忿怒越发临到 以色列 !」
18Did not our fathers do these things, and our God brought all this evil upon us, and upon this city? And you bring more wrath upon Israel by violating the sabbath.
19在安息日的前一日, 耶路撒冷 城门有黑影的时候,我就吩咐人将门关锁,不过安息日不准开放。我又派我几个仆人管理城门,免得有人在安息日担什么担子进城。
19And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem were at rest on the sabbath day, I spoke: and they shut the gates, and I commanded that they should not open them till after the sabbath: and I set some of my servants at the gates, that none should bring in burthens on the sabbath day.
20于是商人和贩卖各样货物的,一两次住宿在 耶路撒冷 城外。
20So the merchants, and they that sold all kinds of wares, stayed without Jerusalem once or twice.
21我就警戒他们说:「你们为何在城外住宿呢?若再这样,我必下手拿办你们。」从此以后,他们在安息日不再来了。
21And I charged them, and I said to them: Why stay you before the wall? if you do so another time, I will lay hands on you. And from that time they came no more on the sabbath.
22我吩咐 利未 人洁净自己,来守城门,使安息日为圣。我的 神啊,求你因这事记念我,照你的大慈爱怜恤我。
22I spoke also to the Levites that they should be purified, and should come to keep the gates, and to sanctify the sabbath day: for this also remember me, O my God, and spare me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
23那些日子,我也见 犹大 人娶了 亚实突 、 亚扪 、 摩押 的女子为妻。
23In those days also I saw Jews that married wives, women of Azotus, and of Ammon, and of Moab.
24他们的儿女说话,一半是 亚实突 的话,不会说 犹大 的话,所说的是照着各族的方言。
24And their children spoke half in the speech of Azotus, and could not speak the Jews’ language, but they spoke according to the language of this and that people.
25我就斥责他们,咒诅他们,打了他们几个人,拔下他们的头发,叫他们指着 神起誓,必不将自己的女儿嫁给外邦人的儿子,也不为自己和儿子娶他们的女儿。
25And I chid them, and laid my curse upon them. And I beat some of them, and shaved off their hair, and made them swear by God that they would not give their daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters for their sons, nor for themselves, saying:
26我 又说 :「 以色列 王 所罗门 不是在这样的事上犯罪吗?在多国中并没有一王像他,且蒙他 神所爱, 神立他作 以色列 全国的王;然而连他也被外邦女子引诱犯罪。
26Did not Solomon king of Israel sin in this kind of thing? and surely among many nations, there was not a king like him, and he was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: and yet women of other countries brought even him to sin.
27如此,我岂听你们行这大恶,娶外邦女子干犯我们的 神呢?」
27And shall we also be disobedient and do all this great evil to transgress against our God, and marry strange women?
28大祭司 以利亚实 的孙子、 耶何耶大 的一个儿子是 和伦 人 参巴拉 的女婿,我就从我这里把他赶出去。
28And one of the sons of Joiada the son of Eliasib the high priest, was son in law to Sanaballat the Horonite, and I drove him from me.
29我的 神啊,求你记念他们的罪;因为他们玷污了祭司的职任,违背你与祭司 利未 人所立的约。
29Remember them, O Lord my God, that defile the priesthood, and the law of priests and Levites.
30这样,我洁净他们,使他们离绝一切外邦人,派定祭司和 利未 人的班次,使他们各尽其职。
30So I separated from them all strangers, and I appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites, every man in his ministry:
31我又派 百姓 按定期献柴和初熟的土产。我的 神啊,求你记念我,施恩与我。
31And for the offering of wood at times appointed, and for the firstfruits: remember me, O my God, unto good. Amen.
