尼希米記 1
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
尼希米關心耶路撒冷
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,我在書珊城堡中。 2 那時,我有一個兄弟哈拿尼,同幾個人從猶大來。我問他們那些被擄歸回、剩下殘存的猶太人和耶路撒冷的情況。 3 他們對我說:「那些被擄歸回剩下的餘民在猶大省那裏遭大難,受凌辱;耶路撒冷的城牆被拆毀,城門被火焚燒。」
4 我聽見這話,就坐下哭泣,悲哀幾日,在天上的 神面前禁食祈禱, 5 說:「唉,耶和華—天上大而可畏的 神,向愛你、守你誡命的人守約施慈愛的 神啊, 6 願你睜眼看,側耳聽你僕人今日晝夜在你面前,為你眾僕人以色列人的祈禱,承認我們以色列人向你所犯的罪;我與我父家都犯了罪。 7 我們向你所行的非常敗壞,沒有遵守你吩咐你僕人摩西的誡命、律例、典章。 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; 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召集回來,帶到我所選擇立為我名居所的地方。』 10 他們是你的僕人和你的百姓,是你用大力和大能的手所救贖的。 11 唉,主啊,求你側耳聽你僕人的祈禱,聽喜愛敬畏你名眾僕人的祈禱,使你僕人今日亨通,在這人面前蒙恩。」
我是王的酒政。
Nehemiah 1
King James Version
1 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace,
2 That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.
3 And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.
4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,
5 And said, I beseech thee, O Lord God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:
6 Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned.
7 We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.
8 Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:
9 But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there.
10 Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.
11 O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king's cupbearer.
