尼希米記 1
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
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 城的宮中。
1These are the words of Nehemiah son of Hacaliah: In the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, while I was in the citadel of Susa,
2那時，有我一個弟兄 哈拿尼 ，同着幾個人從 猶大 來。我問他們那些被擄歸回、剩下逃脫的 猶大 人和 耶路撒冷 的光景。
2Hanani, one of my brothers, arrived with men from Judah. So I questioned them about the remnant of the Jews who had survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem.
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。」
3And they told me, “The remnant who survived the exile are there in the province, in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates are burned with fire.”
4我聽見這話，就坐下哭泣，悲哀幾日，在天上的上帝面前禁食祈禱，說：
4When I heard these words, I sat down and wept. I mourned for days, fasting and praying before the God of heaven.
5「耶和華－天上的上帝，大而可畏的上帝啊，你向愛你、守你誡命的人守約施慈愛。
5Then I said: “O LORD, God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps His covenant of loving devotion with those who love Him and keep His commandments,
6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。
6let Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to hear the prayer that I, Your servant, now pray before You day and night for Your servants, the Israelites. I confess the sins that we Israelites have committed against You. Both I and my father’s house have sinned.
7我們向你所行的甚是邪惡，沒有遵守你藉着僕人 摩西 所吩咐的誡命、律例、典章。
7We have behaved corruptly against You and have not kept the commandments, statutes, and ordinances that You gave Your servant Moses.
8求你記念所吩咐你僕人 摩西 的話，說：『你們若犯罪，我就把你們分散在萬民中；
8Remember, I pray, the word that You commanded Your servant Moses when You said, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations,
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。』
9but if you return to Me and keep and practice My commandments, then even if your exiles have been banished to the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for My Name.’
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。
10They are Your servants and Your people. You redeemed them by Your great power and mighty hand.
11主啊，求你側耳聽你僕人的祈禱，和喜愛敬畏你名眾僕人的祈禱，使你僕人現今亨通，在王面前蒙恩。」 我是作王酒政的。
11O Lord, may Your ear be attentive to my prayer and to the prayers of Your servants who delight to revere Your name. Give Your servant success this day, I pray, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.” (At that time I was the cupbearer to the king.)
