Report from Jerusalem
1 The words of (A)Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah.
Now it happened in the month of (B)Chislev, (C)in the twentieth year, as I was in (D)Susa the citadel, 2 that (E)Hanani, one of my brothers, came with certain men from Judah. And I asked them concerning the Jews who escaped, who had survived the exile, and concerning Jerusalem. 3 And they said to me, “The remnant there in the province who had survived the exile is in great trouble and (F)shame. (G)The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, (H)and its gates are destroyed by fire.”
Nehemiah's Prayer
4 As soon as I heard these words I (I)sat down and wept and mourned for days, and I continued fasting and praying before the (J)God of heaven. 5 And I said, “O Lord God of heaven, (K)the great and awesome God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, 6 (L)let your ear be attentive and your eyes open, to hear the prayer of your servant that I now pray before you day and night for the people of Israel your servants, (M)confessing the sins of the people of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Even (N)I and my father's house have sinned. 7 (O)We have acted very corruptly against you and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, and the rules (P)that you commanded your servant Moses. 8 Remember the word that you commanded your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, (Q)I will scatter you among the peoples, 9 (R)but if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them, (S)though your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there I will gather them and bring them (T)to the place that I have chosen, to make my name dwell there.’ 10 (U)They are your servants and your people, whom you have redeemed by your great power and by your strong hand. 11 O Lord, (V)let your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants who delight to fear your name, and give success to your servant today, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.”
Now I was (W)cupbearer to the king.

Rugăciunea lui Neemia
1 Istorisirea lui Neemia(A), fiul lui Hacalia. În luna Chişleu, în al douăzecilea an, pe când eram în capitala Susa, 2 a venit Hanani, unul din fraţii mei, şi câţiva oameni din Iuda. I-am întrebat despre iudeii scăpaţi care mai rămăseseră din robie şi despre Ierusalim. 3 Ei mi-au răspuns: „Cei ce au mai rămas din robie sunt acolo în ţară, în cea mai mare nenorocire şi ocară; zidurile(B) Ierusalimului sunt dărâmate(C) şi porţile sunt arse de foc.” 4 Când am auzit aceste lucruri, am şezut jos, am plâns şi m-am jelit multe zile. Am postit şi m-am rugat înaintea Dumnezeului cerurilor 5 şi am zis:
„Doamne(D), Dumnezeul cerurilor, Dumnezeule mare şi înfricoşat, Tu(E) care ţii legământul Tău şi eşti plin de îndurare faţă de cei ce Te iubesc şi păzesc poruncile Tale! 6 Să ia aminte urechea Ta şi ochii să-Ţi fie(F) deschişi: ascultă rugăciunea pe care ţi-o face robul Tău acum, zi şi noapte, pentru robii Tăi, copiii lui Israel, mărturisind(G) păcatele copiilor lui Israel, păcatele făcute de noi împotriva Ta, căci eu şi casa tatălui meu am păcătuit. 7 Te-am supărat(H) şi n-am păzit(I) poruncile Tale, legile şi orânduirile pe care le-ai dat robului Tău Moise. 8 Adu-Ţi aminte de cuvintele acestea pe care le-ai dat robului Tău Moise să le spună: ‘Când veţi păcătui(J), vă voi risipi printre popoare, 9 dar(K), dacă vă veţi întoarce la Mine şi dacă veţi păzi poruncile Mele şi le veţi împlini, atunci, chiar(L) dacă veţi fi izgoniţi la marginea cea mai depărtată a cerului, de acolo vă voi aduna şi vă voi aduce iarăşi în locul pe care l-am ales ca să locuiască Numele Meu acolo.’ 10 Ei(M) sunt robii Tăi şi poporul Tău pe care l-ai răscumpărat prin puterea Ta cea mare şi prin mâna Ta cea tare. 11 Ah, Doamne, să(N) ia aminte urechea Ta la rugăciunea robului Tău şi la rugăciunea robilor Tăi, care vor(O) să se teamă de Numele Tău! Dă astăzi izbândă robului Tău şi fă-l să capete trecere înaintea omului acestuia!” Pe atunci eram paharnicul(P) împăratului.

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.
