Nehemiah 1
Christian Standard Bible
1 The words of Nehemiah(A) son of Hacaliah:
News from Jerusalem
During the month of Chislev(B) in the twentieth year,(C) when I was in the fortress city of Susa,(D) 2 Hanani,(E) one of my brothers, arrived with men from Judah, and I questioned them about Jerusalem and the Jewish remnant(F) that had survived the exile.(G) 3 They said to me, “The remnant in the province,(H) who survived the exile, are in great trouble and disgrace. Jerusalem’s wall has been broken down, and its gates have been burned.”(I)
Nehemiah’s Prayer
4 When I heard these words, I sat down and wept. I mourned for a number of days, fasting and praying(J) before the God of the heavens.(K) 5 I said,(L)
Lord, the God of the heavens, the great and awe-inspiring God who keeps his gracious covenant with those who love him(M) and keep his commands,(N) 6 let your eyes be open and your ears be attentive(O) to hear your servant’s prayer that I now pray to you day and night(P) for your servants, the Israelites. I confess the sins[a] we have committed against you. Both I and my father’s family have sinned.(Q) 7 We have acted corruptly toward you and have not kept the commands, statutes, and ordinances you gave your servant Moses.(R) 8 Please remember what you commanded your servant Moses: “If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the peoples.(S) 9 But if you return to me and carefully observe my commands, even though your exiles were banished to the farthest horizon,[b] I will gather them from there and bring them to the place where I chose to have my name dwell.”(T) 10 They are your servants and your people. You redeemed them by your great power and strong hand.(U) 11 Please, Lord, let your ear be attentive(V) to the prayer of your servant and to that of your servants who delight to revere your name. Give your servant success today,(W) and grant him compassion in the presence of this man.[c](X)
At the time, I was the king’s cupbearer.(Y)
Неемия 1
Библия, ревизирано издание
Подготовка на Неемия в Персия за завръщане в Обетованата земя
1 (A)Историята на Неемия, Ахалиевия син. В месец Хаслев, в двадесетата година, когато бях в столицата Суса,
2 един от братята ми, Ананий, дойде от Юдея, той и някои други; и ги попитах за избавените юдеи, оцелели от плена, и за Йерусалим.
3 (B)И те ми казаха: Останалите, които оцеляха от плена в тамошната област, са в голямо тегло и унижение; и стената на Йерусалим е съборена и портите му са изгорени с огън.
4 А когато чух тези думи, седнах и плаках, и тъжах няколко дни; и постих и се молих пред небесния Бог, като казвах:
5 (C)Моля Ти се, Господи, Боже небесни, велики и страшни Боже, Който пазиш завет и милост към тези, които Те обичат и изпълняват Твоите заповеди,
6 (D)дано ухото Ти сега бъде внимателно и очите Ти отворени, за да слушаш молитвата на Твоя слуга, която принасям сега пред Тебе ден и нощ за Твоите слуги, израилтяните, и като изповядвам греховете на израилтяните, с които сме съгрешили пред Теб. И аз, и бащиният ми дом сме съгрешили;
7 (E)много се развратихме пред Теб и не опазихме заповедите, наредбите и законите, които Ти даде на слугата си Моисей.
8 (F)Спомни си, моля Ти се, словото, което си заповядал на слугата Си Моисей, като си казал: Ако престъпите, Аз ще ви разпръсна между племената;
9 (G)но ако се обърнете към Мен и пазите заповедите Ми, и ги изпълнявате, то даже ако има от вас изхвърлени до краищата на небесата, и оттам ще ги събера и ще ги доведа на мястото, което избрах, за да настаня там името Си.
10 (H)А тези са Твои слуги и Твой народ, който си избавил с голямата Си сила и с мощната Си ръка.
11 (I)Моля Ти се, Господи, да бъде ухото Ти внимателно към молитвата на слугата Ти и към молитвите на слугите Ти, които обичат да се боят от името Ти; и направѝ да благоуспее, моля Ти се, слугата Ти днес и му дай да намери милост пред този човек. (Защото аз бях виночерпец на царя.)
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.
