Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1On that day they read in the book of Moses in the hearing of the people; and it was found written in it that an Ammonite and a Moabite should not enter into the assembly of God forever,
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；
2because they didn’t meet the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them to curse them; however, our God turned the curse into a blessing.
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。
3It came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated all the mixed multitude from Israel.
3以色列 民听见这律法，就与一切闲杂人绝交。
4Now before this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed over the rooms of the house of our God, being allied to Tobiah,
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，
5had prepared for him a great room, where previously they laid the meal offerings, the frankincense, the vessels, and the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, which were given by commandment to the Levites, the singers, and the gatekeepers; and the wave offerings for the priests.
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。
6But in all this, I was not at Jerusalem; for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I went to the king; and after some days I asked leave of the king,
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。
7and I came to Jerusalem, and understood the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing him a room in the courts of God’s house.
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。
8It grieved me severely. Therefore I threw all Tobiah’s household stuff out of the room.
8我甚恼怒，就把 多比雅 的一切家具从屋里都抛出去，
9Then I commanded, and they cleansed the rooms. I brought into them the vessels of God’s house, with the meal offerings and the frankincense again.
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。
10I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them, so that the Levites and the singers, who did the work, had each fled to his field.
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。
11Then I contended with the rulers, and said, “Why is God’s house forsaken?” I gathered them together, and set them in their place.
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。
12Then all Judah brought the tithe of the grain, the new wine, and the oil to the treasuries.
12犹大 众人就把五谷、新酒，和油的十分之一送入库房。
13I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were counted faithful, and their business was to distribute to their brothers.
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。
14Remember me, my God, concerning this, and don’t wipe out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for its observances.
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。
15In those days I saw some men treading wine presses on the Sabbath in Judah, bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys with wine, grapes, figs, and all kinds of burdens which they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day; and I testified against them in the day in which they sold food.
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。
16Some men of Tyre also lived there, who brought in fish and all kinds of wares, and sold on the Sabbath to the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
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。
17Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said to them, “What evil thing is this that you do, and profane the Sabbath day?
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？
18Didn’t your fathers do this, and didn’t our God bring all this evil on us and on this city? Yet you bring more wrath on Israel by profaning the Sabbath.”
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 ！」
19It came to pass that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the Sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened until after the Sabbath. I set some of my servants over the gates, so that no burden should be brought in on the Sabbath day.
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。
20So the merchants and sellers of all kinds of wares camped outside of Jerusalem once or twice.
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。
21Then I testified against them, and said to them, “Why do you stay around the wall? If you do so again, I will lay hands on you.” From that time on, they didn’t come on the Sabbath.
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。
22I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the Sabbath day. Remember me for this also, my God, and spare me according to the greatness of your loving kindness.
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。
23In those days I also saw the Jews who had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab;
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。
24and their children spoke half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews’ language, but according to the language of each people.
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。
25I contended with them, cursed them, struck certain of them, plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, “You shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, or for yourselves.
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。
26Didn’t Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among many nations there was no king like him, and he was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless foreign women caused even him to sin.
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。
27Shall we then listen to you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in marrying foreign women?”
27如此，我岂听你们行这大恶，娶外邦女子干犯我们的 神呢？」
28One of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite; therefore I chased him from me.
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。
29Remember them, my God, because they have defiled the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and of the Levites.
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。
30Thus I cleansed them from all foreigners and appointed duties for the priests and for the Levites, everyone in his work;
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。
31and for the wood offering, at appointed times, and for the first fruits. Remember me, my God, for good.
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。
