1The words of Nehemias the son of Helchias. And it came to pass in the month of Casleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in the castle of Susa,
1哈迦利亚 的儿子 尼希米 的言语如下： 亚达薛西 王二十年基斯流月，我在 书珊 城的宫中。
2That Hanani one of my brethren came, he and some men of Juda; and I asked them concerning the Jews, that remained and were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.
2那时，有我一个弟兄 哈拿尼 ，同着几个人从 犹大 来。我问他们那些被掳归回、剩下逃脱的 犹大 人和 耶路撒冷 的光景。
3And they said to me: They that have remained, and are left of the captivity there in the province, are in great affliction, and reproach: and the wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and the gates thereof are burnt with fire.
3他们对我说：「那些被掳归回剩下的人在 犹大 省遭大难，受凌辱；并且 耶路撒冷 的城墙拆毁，城门被火焚烧。」
4And when I had heard these words, I sat down, and wept, and mourned for many days: and I fasted, and prayed before the face of the God of heaven.
4我听见这话，就坐下哭泣，悲哀几日，在天上的 神面前禁食祈祷，说：
5And I said: I beseech thee, O Lord God of heaven, strong, great, and terrible, who keepest covenant and mercy with those that love thee, and keep thy commandments:
5「耶和华—天上的 神，大而可畏的 神啊，你向爱你、守你诫命的人守约施慈爱。
6Let thy ears be attentive, and thy eyes open, to hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, night and day, for the children of Israel thy servants: and I confess the sins of the children of Israel, by which they have sinned against thee: I and my father’s house have sinned.
6愿你睁眼看，侧耳听，你仆人昼夜在你面前为你众仆人 以色列 民的祈祷，承认我们 以色列 人向你所犯的罪；我与我父家都有罪了。
7We have been seduced by vanity, and have not kept thy commandments, and ceremonies and judgments, which thou hast commanded thy servant Moses.
7我们向你所行的甚是邪恶，没有遵守你借着仆人 摩西 所吩咐的诫命、律例、典章。
8Remember the word that thou commandedst to Moses thy servant, saying: If you shall transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:
8求你记念所吩咐你仆人 摩西 的话，说：『你们若犯罪，我就把你们分散在万民中；
9But if you return to me, and keep my commandments, and do them, though you should be led away to the uttermost parts of the world, I will gather you from thence, and bring you back to the place which I have chosen for my name to dwell there.
9但你们若归向我，谨守遵行我的诫命，你们被赶散的人虽在天涯，我也必从那里将他们招聚回来，带到我所选择立为我名的居所。』
10And these are thy servants, and thy people: whom thou hast redeemed by thy great strength, and by thy mighty hand.
10这都是你的仆人、你的百姓，就是你用大力和大能的手所救赎的。
11I beseech thee, O Lord, let thy ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants who desire to fear thy name: and direct thy servant this day, and give him mercy before this man. For I was the king’s cupbearer.
11主啊，求你侧耳听你仆人的祈祷，和喜爱敬畏你名众仆人的祈祷，使你仆人现今亨通，在王面前蒙恩。」 我是作王酒政的。
