尼希米记 1
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
耶路撒冷的惨况
1 哈迦利亚的儿子尼希米的言行录:亚达薛西王二十年基斯流月,我在书珊宫中, 2 我的一位兄弟哈拿尼和几个人一起从犹大来到;我询问他们关于那些从被掳逃脱的犹大余民和关于耶路撒冷的景况。 3 他们对我说:“那些从被掳剩下的余民,在犹大省那里遭遇大患难,受到凌辱。耶路撒冷的城墙倒塌,城门也被火烧毁。”
尼希米为耶路撒冷禁食祷告
4 我听见了这些事,就坐下哭泣,悲伤了好几天,在天上的 神面前禁食祷告, 5 说:“耶和华天上的 神,伟大可畏的 神啊,你向那些爱你,遵守你诫命的人,守约施慈爱。 6 求你侧着耳,睁着眼的,垂听你仆人的祷告,我今天在你面前昼夜为着你的仆人以色列人祷告,承认以色列人所犯的罪,就是我与我父的家向你所犯的罪。 7 我们故意行极大的恶事得罪你,没有遵守你吩咐你仆人摩西的诫命、律例和典章。 8 求你记念你吩咐你仆人摩西的话,说:‘你们若是不忠,我就把你们分散在万民中。 9 但如果你们回心转意归向我,谨守遵行我的诫命,即使在你们被赶逐的天边,我也必从那里把他们招聚回来,带他们到我选择给我的名居住的地方那里去。’ 10 这些都是你的仆人,你的子民,是你用你的大能和你强而有力的手所救赎的。 11 主啊,求你留意听你仆人的祷告,也听那些喜爱敬畏你名的仆人的祷告;求你使你的仆人今天顺利,使他在这人面前蒙怜悯。”那时我是王的酒政。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
尼希米的禱告
1 以下是哈迦利亞的兒子尼希米的記述。
波斯王亞達薛西二十年基斯流月[a],我在書珊城裡。 2 從猶大來了我的一個兄弟哈拿尼和一些人,我問他們有關從流亡之地歸回的猶太餘民和耶路撒冷的情況。 3 他們回答說:「那些從流亡之地歸回猶大省的人深陷苦難,飽受凌辱。耶路撒冷的城牆已經倒塌,城門也被燒毀。」
4 我一聽見這消息,就坐下痛哭,悲傷了好幾天。我在天上的上帝面前禁食禱告,說:
5 「天上的上帝耶和華啊,你是偉大而可畏的上帝,你向愛你、守你誡命的人守約,施慈愛。 6 僕人在你面前晝夜為你的眾僕人以色列民祈禱,求你睜眼察看,側耳傾聽。我承認以色列人向你所犯的罪,以及我和我的家族所犯的罪。 7 我們行事敗壞,沒有遵守你賜給你僕人摩西的誡命、律例和典章。 8 求你顧念你對你僕人摩西所說的話,『如果你們不忠,我必把你們驅散到列邦中。 9 但如果你們轉向我,謹遵我的誡命,即使你們流落天涯,我也必從那裡把你們召集到我選為我名所在之地。』 10 我們是你的僕人、你的子民,是你用大能大力救贖的。 11 主啊,求你側耳聽你僕人的禱告,垂聽那些喜愛敬畏你名的眾僕人的祈求,使你僕人今天亨通,在王面前蒙恩。」
我是王的侍酒總管。

Nehemiah 1
New International Version
Nehemiah’s Prayer
1 The words of Nehemiah son of Hakaliah:
In the month of Kislev(A) in the twentieth year, while I was in the citadel of Susa,(B) 2 Hanani,(C) one of my brothers, came from Judah with some other men, and I questioned them about the Jewish remnant(D) that had survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem.
3 They said to me, “Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.(E)”
4 When I heard these things, I sat down and wept.(F) For some days I mourned and fasted(G) and prayed before the God of heaven. 5 Then I said:
“Lord, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God,(H) who keeps his covenant of love(I) with those who love him and keep his commandments, 6 let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear(J) the prayer(K) your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess(L) the sins we Israelites, including myself and my father’s family, have committed against you. 7 We have acted very wickedly(M) toward you. We have not obeyed the commands, decrees and laws you gave your servant Moses.
8 “Remember(N) the instruction you gave your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter(O) you among the nations, 9 but if you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather(P) them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name.’(Q)
10 “They are your servants and your people, whom you redeemed by your great strength and your mighty hand.(R) 11 Lord, let your ear be attentive(S) to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favor(T) in the presence of this man.”
I was cupbearer(U) to the king.
