Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Susa the palace,
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。
2Hanani, one of my brothers, came, he and certain men out of Judah; and I asked them about the Jews who had escaped, who 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。
3They said to me, “The remnant who are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach. The wall of Jerusalem is also broken down, and its gates are burned 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。」
4When I heard these words, I sat down and wept, and mourned several days; and I fasted and prayed before 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 said, “I beg you, LORD, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his 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 your ear now be attentive and your eyes open, that you may listen to the prayer of your servant which I pray before you at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel your servants, while I confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against you. Yes, 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 dealt very corruptly against you, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances, which you commanded your 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。
8“Remember, I beg you, the word that you commanded your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you trespass, I will scatter you among the peoples;
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 your outcasts were in the uttermost part of the heavens, yet I will gather them from there, and will bring them to the place that I have chosen, to cause 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。』
10“Now these are your servants and your people, whom you have redeemed by your great power and by your strong 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。
11Lord, I beg you, let your ear be attentive now to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants who delight to fear your name; and please prosper your servant today, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.” Now I was cup bearer to the king.
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。
