Nehemiah 1 – KJV & CCB

King James Version

Nehemiah 1:1-11

1The 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, 2That 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. 3And 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,

5And 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: 6Let 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. 7We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses. 8Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations: 9But 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. 10Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand. 11O 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.

尼希米记 1:1-11

尼希米的祷告

1以下是哈迦利亚的儿子尼希米的记述。

波斯亚达薛西二十年基斯流月1:1 基斯流月”即希伯来历的九月,阳历是十一月中旬到十二月中旬。,我在书珊城里。 2犹大来了我的一个兄弟哈拿尼和一些人,我问他们有关从流亡之地归回的犹太余民和耶路撒冷的情况。 3他们回答说:“那些从流亡之地归回犹大省的人深陷苦难,饱受凌辱。耶路撒冷的城墙已经倒塌,城门也被烧毁。”

4我一听见这消息,就坐下痛哭,悲伤了好几天。我在天上的上帝面前禁食祷告,说:

5“天上的上帝耶和华啊,你是伟大而可畏的上帝,你向爱你、守你诫命的人守约,施慈爱。 6仆人在你面前昼夜为你的众仆人以色列民祈祷,求你睁眼察看,侧耳倾听。我承认以色列人向你所犯的罪,以及我和我的家族所犯的罪。 7我们行事败坏,没有遵守你赐给你仆人摩西的诫命、律例和典章。 8求你顾念你对你仆人摩西所说的话,‘如果你们不忠,我必把你们驱散到列邦中。 9但如果你们转向我,谨遵我的诫命,即使你们流落天涯,我也必从那里把你们召集到我选为我名所在之地。’ 10我们是你的仆人、你的子民,是你用大能大力救赎的。 11主啊,求你侧耳听你仆人的祷告,垂听那些喜爱敬畏你名的众仆人的祈求,使你仆人今天亨通,在王面前蒙恩。”

我是王的侍酒总管。
