1 G3056 The words G* of Nehemiah G5207 son G* of Hachaliah. G2532 And G1096 it came to pass G1722 in G3376 the month G* of Chislev, G2094 [²year G1501.10 ¹ in the twentieth], G2532 that G1473 I G1510.7.1 was G1722 in G* Susa G* Abira.

2 G2532 And G2064 there came G* Hanani G1520 one G575 of G80 my brethren, G1473 G1473 he G2532 and G435 the men G* of Judah. G2532 And G2065 I asked G1473 them G4012 concerning G3588 the G* Jews, G3588 of the ones G1295 having survived, G3739 the ones G2641 left behind G575 from G3588 the G161 captivity, G2532 and G4012 concerning G* Jerusalem.

3 G2532 And G2036 they said G4314 to G1473 me, G3588 The ones G5275 remaining behind G3588 G2641 surviving G575 from G3588 the G161 captivity G1563 there G1722 in G3588 the G5561 place G1722 are among G4189 [²wickedness G3173 ¹great], G2532 and G1722 in G3680 scorning; G2532 and G3588 the G5038 walls G* of Jerusalem G2507 are being demolished, G2532 and G4439 its gates G1473 G1714 were burnt G1722 by G4442 fire.

4 G2532 And G1096 it came to pass G1722 in G3588 G191 my hearing G1473 G3588 G3056 these words, G3778 G2523 I sat G2532 and G2799 wept G2532 and G3996 mourned G2250 for days, G2532 and G1510.7.1 I was G3522 fasting G2532 and G4336 praying G1799 before G3588 the G2316 God G3588 G3772 of heaven.

5 G2532 And G2036 I said, G5599 O G1211 indeed, G2962 O lord G3588 G2316 God G3588 G3772 of heaven, G3588 the G2478 strong G2532 and G3173 great G2532 and G5398 fearful one, G5442 guarding G3588 the G1242 covenant G2532 and G3588 the G1656 mercy G3588 to the ones G25 loving G1473 him G2532 and G3588 to the ones G5442 guarding G3588 G1785 his commandments. G1473

6 G1510.5 Let it be G1211 indeed G3588 G3775 your ear G1473 G4337 heeds, G2532 and G3588 G3788 your eyes G1473 G455 open G3588 G191 to hear G4335 the prayer G3588 G1401 of your servant! G1473 G3739 which G1473 I G4336 pray G1799 before G1473 you G4594 today's G2250 day G2532 and G3571 night, G4012 for G5207 the sons G* of Israel G1401 your servants. G1473 G2532 And G1805.1 I declare openly G1909 concerning G266 the sins G5207 of the sons G* of Israel, G3739 in which G264 we sinned G1473 against you; G2532 both G1473 I G2532 and G3588 the G3624 house G3588 G3962 of my father G1473 G264 sinned.

7 G1261.1 In parting, G1262 we parted G4314 from G1473 you, G2532 and G3756 we guarded not G5442 G3588 the G1785 commandments, G2532 and G3588 the G4366.2 orders, G2532 and G3588 the G2917 judgments, G3739 which G1781 you gave charge G3588 to G* Moses G3816 your servant. G1473

8 G3403 Remember G1211 indeed! G3588 the G3056 word G3739 which G1781 you gave charge G* to Moses, G3588 to G3816 your servant, G1473 G3004 saying, G1473 If G801.2 [²should break contract G1473 ¹You], G1473 I G1287 shall disperse G1473 you G1722 among G3588 the G2992 peoples.

9 G2532 But G1437 if G1994 you should return G4314 to G1473 me, G2532 and G5442 should guard G3588 G1785 my commandments, G1473 G2532 and G4160 observe G1473 them; G2532 and G1437 if G1510.3 [²might be G3588 G1290 ¹your dispersion] G1473 G2193 unto G206.1 the tip G3588 of the G3772 heaven, G1564 from there G4863 I will gather G1473 them, G2532 and G1521 I will bring G1473 them G1519 into G3588 the G5117 place which G1473 G1586 I chose G2681 to encamp G3588 G3686 my name G1473 G1563 there.

10 G2532 And G1473 they are G3816 your children G1473 G2532 and G2992 your people, G1473 G3739 whom G3084 you ransomed G1722 by G3588 G1411 [³power G1473 ¹your G3588 G3173 ²great], G2532 and G1722 by G3588 G5495 [³hand G1473 ¹your G3588 G2900 ²fortified].

11 G1211 Indeed, G2962 O lord, G1510.5 let be G3588 G3775 your ear G1473 G4337 heeding G1519 to G3588 the G4335 prayer G3588 G1401 of your servant, G1473 G2532 and G1519 to G3588 the G4335 prayer G3816 of your children! G1473 G3588 of the ones G2309 wanting G5399 to fear G3588 G3686 your name. G1473 G2532 And G2137 prosper the way G1211 indeed G3588 G3816 of your servant G1473 G4594 today, G2532 and G1325 give G1473 him G1519 for G3628 compassions G1799 before G3588 G435 this man! G3778 G2532 And G1473 I G1510.7.1 was G3632.2 a wine server G3588 to the G935 king.

1 H1697 The words H5166 of Nehemiah H1121 the son H2446 of Hachaliah. H2320 And it came to pass in the month H3691 Chisleu, H6242 in the twentieth H8141 year, H7800 as I was in Shushan H1002 the palace,

2 H2607 That Hanani, H259 one H251 of my brethren, H935 [H8799] came, H582 he and certain men H3063 of Judah; H7592 [H8799] and I asked H3064 them concerning the Judeans H6413 that had escaped, H7604 [H8738] who were left H7628 of the captivity, H3389 and concerning Jerusalem.

3 H559 [H8799] And they said H7604 [H8737] to me, The remnant H7604 [H8738] that are left H7628 of the captivity H4082 there in the province H1419 are in great H7451 affliction H2781 and reproach: H2346 the wall H3389 of Jerusalem H6555 [H8794] also is broken down, H8179 and its gates H3341 [H8738] are burned H784 with fire.

4 H8085 [H8800] And it came to pass, when I heard H1697 these words, H3427 [H8804] that I sat down H1058 [H8799] and wept, H56 [H8691] and mourned H3117 certain days, H6684 [H8802] and fasted, H6419 [H8693] and prayed H6440 at the face of H430 the God H8064 of heaven,

5 H559 [H8799] And said, H577 I beseech H3068 thee, O LORD H430 God H8064 of heaven, H1419 the great H3372 [H8737] and terrible H410 God, H8104 [H8802] that keepeth H1285 covenant H2617 and mercy H157 [H8802] for them that love H8104 [H8802] him and observe H4687 his commandments:

6 H241 Let thine ear H7183 now be attentive, H5869 and thine eyes H6605 [H8803] open, H8085 [H8800] that thou mayest hear H8605 the prayer H5650 of thy servant, H6419 [H8693] which I pray H6440 at the face of H3117 thee now, H3119 day H3915 and night, H1121 for the sons H3478 of Israel H5650 thy servants, H3034 [H8693] and confess H2403 the sins H1121 of the sons H3478 of Israel, H2398 [H8804] which we have sinned H1 against thee: both I and my father's H1004 house H2398 [H8804] have sinned.

7 H2254 [H8800] We have dealt very H2254 [H8804] corruptly H8104 [H8804] against thee, and have not kept H4687 the commandments, H2706 nor the statutes, H4941 nor the judgments, H6680 [H8765] which thou didst command H5650 thy servant H4872 Moses.

8 H2142 [H8798] Remember, H1697 I beseech thee, the word H6680 [H8765] that thou didst command H5650 thy servant H4872 Moses, H559 [H8800] saying, H4603 [H8799] If ye transgress, H6327 [H8686] I will scatter you abroad H5971 among the peoples:

9 H7725 [H8804] But if ye turn H8104 [H8804] to me, and keep H4687 my commandments, H6213 [H8804] and do H5080 [H8737] them; though there were of you driven H7097 to the uttermost part H8064 of the heaven, H6908 [H8762] yet will I gather H935 [H8689] them from there, and will bring H4725 them to the place H977 [H8804] that I have chosen H7931 [H8763] to set H8034 my name there.

10 H5650 Now these are thy servants H5971 and thy people, H6299 [H8804] whom thou hast ransomed H1419 by thy great H3581 power, H2389 and by thy strong H3027 hand.

11 H136 O Sovereign, H577 I beseech H241 thee, let now thine ear H7183 be attentive H8605 to the prayer H5650 of thy servant, H8605 and to the prayer H5650 of thy servants, H2655 who are taking pleasure H3372 [H8800] to fear H8034 thy name: H6743 [H8685] and prosper, H5650 I pray thee, thy servant H3117 this day, H5414 [H8798] and give H7356 him compassions H6440 in the sight H376 of this man. H4428 For I was the king's H8248 [H8688] cupbearer.

NECHEM YAH WEEPS OVER THE SURVIVORS
Words of Nechem Yah the son of Hachal Yah. And so be it, in the month Kislav, in the twentieth year, I am in Shushan the palace, ² and Hanani, one of my brothers, comes - he and men of Yah Hudah; and I ask them concerning the Yah Hudiym who escaped - who survived of the captivity and concerning Yeru Shalem. ³ And they say to me, The survivors who survived the captivity there in the jurisdiction are in great evil and reproach: and the wall of Yeru Shalem is broken down and the portals thereof are burned with fire. ⁴ And so be it, I hear these words, and I settle and weep and mourn for days and fast and pray at the face of Elohim of the heavens; ⁵ and say, I beseech you, O Yah Veh Elohim of the heavens - the great and awesome El who guards covenant and mercy for them who love him and guard his misvoth: ⁶ hearken your ear, I pray, and open your eyes to hear the prayer of your servant which I pray at your face this day - by day and by night for the sons of Yisra El your servants; and spread hands for the sins of the sons of Yisra El we sinned against you - both I and the house of my father sinned. ⁷ In despoiling, we despoiled against you; and guarded neither the misvoth nor the statutes nor the judgments you misvahed your servant Mosheh. ⁸ Remember, I beseech you, the word you misvahed your servant Mosheh, saying, If you treason I scatter you abroad among the people: ⁹ but if you turn to me and guard my misvoth and work them - though some of you were expelled to the extremity of the heavens yet I gather them from there and bring them to the place I chose to tabernacle my name: ¹⁰ and they are your servants and your people whom you redeemed by your great force and by your strong hand. ¹¹ O Adonay, I beseech you, Hearken now your ear to the prayer of your servant - and to the prayer of your servants who delight to awe your name: and prosper, I beseech you, your servant this day; and give him mercies in the face of this man. For I am a butler of the sovereign.

And it came to pass in the month of Chislev, of the twentieth year, that I was in Shushan the palace. ² And Hanani, one of my brothers, came, he and some men of Judah; and I asked them concerning those that had escaped, who had been left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. ³ And they said to me, The remnant, even those that are left of the captivity, are there in the land, in great distress and reproach; and the walls of Jerusalem are thrown down, and its gates are burned with fire. ⁴ And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned for several days, and continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven. ⁵ And I said, I pray, O Lord God of heaven, the mighty One, the great and terrible, keeping Your covenant and mercy to them that love Him, and to those that keep His commandments. ⁶ Let now Your ear be attentive, and Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant, which I pray before You at this time, this day both day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and make confession for the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against You — both I and the house of my father have sinned. ⁷ We have altogether broken our covenant with You, and we have not kept the commandments, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which You commanded Your servant Moses. ⁸ Remember, I pray, the word in which You charged Your servant Moses, saying, If you break your covenant with Me, I will disperse you among the nations. ⁹ But if you turn again to Me, and keep My commandments, and do them; if you should be scattered to the uttermost parts of heaven, yet will I gather them from there, and I will bring them into the place which I have chosen as a dwelling for My name. ¹⁰ Now they are Your servants and Your people, whom You have redeemed by Your great power, and by Your mighty hand. ¹¹ Turn not away, I pray, O Lord, but let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your servants, who desire to fear Your name, and prosper Your servant this day, and cause him to find mercy in the sight of this man (For I was the king's cupbearer).

LXX2012⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The words of Neemias the son of Chelcia. And it came to pass in the month Chaseleu, of the twentieth year, that I was in Susan the palace. ² And Anani, one of my brethren, came, he and [some] men of Juda; and I asked them concerning those that had escaped, who had been left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. ³ And they said to me, The remnant, [even] those that are left of the captivity, [are] there in the land, in great distress and reproach: and the walls of Jerusalem [are] thrown down, and its gates are burnt with fire. ⁴ And it came to pass, when I heard these words, [that] I sat down and wept, and mourned for [several] days, and continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven. ⁵ And I said, Nay, I pray you, O Lord God of heaven, the mighty, the great and terrible, keeping your covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to those that keep his commandments: ⁶ let now your ear be attentive, and your eyes open, that you may hear the prayer of your servant, which I pray before you at this time, this day [both] day and night, for the children of Israel your servants, and make confession for the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against you: both I and the house of my father have sinned. ⁷ We have altogether broken [covenant] with you, and we have not kept the commandments, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which you did command your servant Moses. ⁸ Remember, I pray you, the word wherewith you did charge your servant Moses, saying, If you⌃ break covenant [with me], I will disperse you among the nations. ⁹ But if you⌃ turn again to me, and keep my commandments, and do them; if you⌃ should be scattered under the utmost [bound] of heaven, thence will I gather them, and I will bring them into the place which I have chosen to cause my name to dwell there. ¹⁰ Now they [are] your servants and your people, whom you have redeemed with your great power, and with your strong hand. ¹¹ [Turn] not [away], I pray you, O Lord, but let your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants, who desire to fear your name: and prosper, I pray you, your servant this day, and cause him to find mercy in the sight of this man.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The history of Nehemiah, the son of Hacaliah. Now it came about, in the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, when I was in Shushan, the castle, ² Hanani, one of my brothers, came with men from Judah. This was in answer to my request for news about the Jews who had been prisoners and escaped from captivity and about Jerusalem. ³ They said to me: »The small band of Jews now living there in the land is in deep trouble and shame. The wall of Jerusalem has been broken down, and its doorways burned with fire.« ⁴ After I heard these words I sat down on the ground and cried for days. I ate no food and offered prayer to the God of heaven. ⁵ I said: »O Jehovah (YHWH), the God of heaven, the great God, greatly to be respected, keeping faith and mercy with those who have love for him and are true to his laws: ⁶ »Let your ear now take note and let your eyes be open. Please give ear to the prayer of your servant. At this time, day and night I pray for the children of Israel, your servants. I put before you the sins of the children of Israel that we have done against you: truly, my father’s people and I are sinners. ⁷ »We have done great wrong against you. We have not obeyed the orders, the rules, and the decisions, which you gave to your servant Moses. ⁸ »Keep in mind, O Jehovah, the order you gave your servant Moses, saying: ‘If you do wrong I will send you wandering among the peoples: ⁹ »If you come back to me and obey my orders, even if you have been forced out and are living in the farthest horizons, I will gather you from there, and bring you to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my name.’ ¹⁰ »These are your servants and your people, whom you have made yours by your great power and by your strong hand. ¹¹ »O Jehovah, let your ear take note of the prayer of your servant. Of the prayers of all your servants, who take delight in worshipping your name: give help, O Jehovah, to your servant this day, and let him have mercy in the eyes of this man.« Now I was the king's wine-servant.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ IntroductionIn this document, I, Hacaliah’s son Nehemiah, recount what occurred during the twentieth year of Artaxerxes.
BackgroundIn the month of Chislev, while I was in Shushan at the palace, ² Hanani, one of my brothers, arrived with some men from Judah. I asked them about the Jews who had escaped, about those who had survived the Babylonian captivity, and about Jerusalem.
³ They told me, “The survivors of the captivity there in the province are living in great distress and shame. Furthermore, the Jerusalem wall remains broken down and its gates have been burned by fire.”
⁴ Nehemiah’s PrayerWhen I heard this, I sat down and cried, mourning for a number of days while I fasted and prayed in the presence of the God of Heaven. ⁵ I said, “Please, LORD, God of Heaven, the great and fearsome God who keeps the covenant, showing gracious love to those who love you and keep your commands, ⁶ please turn your attention to observe carefully and listen to the prayer of your servant today that I am presenting to you day and night on behalf of your servants, the Israelis.
“I confess the sins that we Israelis have committed against you. Both I and my father’s house have sinned. ⁷ We have abandoned you by not keeping your commands, your ceremonies, and your judgments that you proscribed to your servant Moses. ⁸ Please remember what you spoke in commanding your servant Moses. You said, ‘If you rebel, I will scatter you among the nations ⁹ but if you return to me, keeping my commands and doing them, even if your exiled people are in the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place where I have chosen to establish my Name.’
¹⁰ These are your servants as well as your people, whom you have redeemed by your great power and by your strong hand.
¹¹ “And now, Lord, I ask you to listen to the prayer of your servant—and to the prayers of your servants who delight in revering your Name. I ask you, please prosper your servant today by granting him to receive favor from this man.”
Now I was the king’s senior security advisor.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The words of Nehemiah son of Hacaliah.
It happened in the month of Kislev, in the twentieth year, that I myself was in the citadel in Susa, ² and one of my brothers, Hanani, came with some men from Judah. I asked them about the Jews who had escaped the captivity and about Jerusalem. ³ They replied to me, "The survivors in the province who have survived the captivity are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned in the fire." ⁴ When I heard these words, I sat and wept and mourned for days, and I was fasting and praying before the God of the heavens. ⁵ I said, "O Yahweh God of the heavens, the great and awesome one who keeps the covenant and loyal love for the ones who love him and for those who keep his commands. ⁶ Please, let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer of your servant that I am praying before you by day and by night for your servants, the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* and confessing the sins of the _⌊Israelites_⌋* that we have sinned against you. I and my father's house have sinned. ⁷ We have certainly offended you and have not kept the commands, regulations, and judgments that you have commanded your servant Moses. ⁸ Please, remember the word that you have commanded to your servant Moses, saying, 'If you act unfaithfully I will scatter you all among the nations. ⁹ But if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them, even though all of your outcasts are at the furthest parts of heaven, I will gather them and bring them to the place which I have chosen to make my name dwell.' ¹⁰ They are your servants and your people whom you have redeemed by your great power and by your strong hand. ¹¹ O Lord, please let your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight to revere in your name. Please, let your servant be successful this day and give him compassion before this man."
I was cupbearer for the king.

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ These are the words of Nehemiah son of Hacaliah: In the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, while I was in the citadel of Susa, ² Hanani, one of my brothers, arrived with men from Judah. So I questioned them about the remnant of the Jews who had survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem. ³ And they told me, “The remnant who survived the exile are there in the province, in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates are burned with fire.” ⁴ When I heard these words, I sat down and wept. I mourned for days, fasting and praying before the God of heaven. ⁵ Then I said: “O LORD, God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps His covenant of loving devotion with those who love Him and keep His commandments, ⁶ let Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to hear the prayer that I, Your servant, now pray before You day and night for Your servants, the Israelites. I confess the sins that we Israelites have committed against You. Both I and my father’s house have sinned. ⁷ We have behaved corruptly against You and have not kept the commandments, statutes, and ordinances that You gave Your servant Moses. ⁸ Remember, I pray, the word that You commanded Your servant Moses when You said, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations, ⁹ but if you return to Me and keep and practice My commandments, then even if your exiles have been banished to the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for My Name.’ ¹⁰ They are Your servants and Your people. You redeemed them by Your great power and mighty hand. ¹¹ O Lord, may Your ear be attentive to my prayer and to the prayers of Your servants who delight to revere Your name. Give Your servant success this day, I pray, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.” (At that time I was the cupbearer to the king.)

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah.

³ And they said to me, The remnant who are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach. Also the wall of Jerusalem is broken down and the gates of it are burned with fire.
⁴ And it happened, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept and mourned certain days. And I fasted and prayed before the God of heaven, ⁵ and said, I beseech you, O Jehovah, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments:
⁶ Let your ear now be attentive and your eyes open, that you may listen to the prayer of your servant, which I pray before you at this time, day and night, for the sons of Israel your servants while I confess the sins of the sons of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Yes, I and my father's house have sinned. ⁷ We have dealt very corruptly against you and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances, which you commanded your servant Moses.
⁸ Remember, I beseech you, the word that you commanded your servant Moses, saying, If you* trespass, I will scatter you* abroad among the peoples, ⁹ but if you* return to me and keep my commandments and do them, though your* outcasts were in the outermost part of the heavens, yet I will gather them from there and will bring them to the place that I have chosen, to cause my name to dwell there.
¹⁰ Now these are your servants and your people whom you have redeemed by your great power and by your strong hand. ¹¹ O Lord, I beseech you, let now your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant and to the prayer of your servants, who delight to fear your name, and I beseech you, prosper your servant this day and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ Récits de Néhémias, fils d’Helcias. Au mois de chaseleu, en la vingtième année, j’étais à Suse, résidence royale. ² Et Anani, l’un de mes frères, vint, lui et des hommes de Juda, et je les questionnai, tant sur ceux qui étaient demeurés de la captivité et vivaient encore, que sur Jérusalem. ³ Et ils me dirent: Ceux qui sont demeurés, et qui ont été laissés de la captivité, sont dans la terre promise en grande détresse et opprobre; les murs de Jérusalem ont été abattus, et ses portes brûlées par le feu. ⁴ Or, quand j’eus ouï de telles paroles, je m’assis et pleurai, et, pendant plusieurs jours, me lamentai, et j’étais jeûnant et priant devant le Dieu du ciel. ⁵ ¶ Et je dis: Que cela ne soit, je vous prie, Seigneur Dieu du ciel, Dieu fort, grand et redoutable qui gardez votre alliance et votre miséricorde à ceux qui vous aiment et observent vos commandements. ⁶ Que votre oreille soit attentive, que vos yeux s’ouvrent, afin d’ouïr l’oraison de votre serviteur que je fais maintenant devant vous, nuit et jour, pour vos serviteurs les enfants d’Israël; et je me confesse pour les péchés des enfants d’Israël, en lesquels nous avons péché contre vous. Moi et la maison de mon père avons péché. ⁷ Nous avons rompu l’alliance; nous n’avons point gardé les commandements, les jugements et les ordonnances que vous avez intimés à Moïse, votre serviteur. ⁸ Souvenez-vous de la parole que vous avez intimée à Moïse, votre serviteur, disant: Si vous manquez à notre alliance, je vous disperserai parmi les nations. ⁹ Et si vous revenez à moi, si vous gardez mes commandements, si vous les pratiquez, quand vous seriez disséminés jusqu’aux lieux où la terre touche le ciel, je vous en ramènerai, je vous réunirai en la terre que j’ai choisie pour que mon nom y réside. ¹⁰ Et voici vos serviteurs et votre peuple que vous avez rachetés par votre toute-puissance et votre forte main. ¹¹ Qu’ils ne demeurent pas ainsi, Seigneur; mais que votre oreille soit attentive à l’oraison de votre serviteur et à celle de vos serviteurs qui veulent craindre votre nom. Soyez-lui propice aujourd’hui à votre serviteur; faites qu’il trouve miséricorde devant les hommes; or, j’étais échanson du roi.

Et au mois de Kislev, la vingtième année, il arriva que, comme j'étais à Suse, la capitale, ² Hanani, l'un de mes frères, lui et quelques hommes vinrent de Juda; et je les interrogeai sur les Juifs, les réchappés qui étaient restés de la captivité, et au sujet de Jérusalem; ³ et ils me dirent: Les restants, qui sont demeurés de reste de la captivité, là, dans la province, sont dans une grande misère et dans l'opprobre, et la muraille de Jérusalem est en ruine et ses portes sont brûlées par le feu. ⁴ Et lorsque j'entendis ces paroles, je m'assis et je pleurai; et je menai deuil plusieurs jours, et je jeûnai, et je priai le Dieu des cieux, et je dis: ⁵
Je te supplie, ô Éternel, Dieu des cieux, le Dieu grand et terrible, qui gardes l'alliance et la bonté envers ceux qui t'aiment et qui gardent tes commandements! ⁶ Je te prie, que ton oreille soit attentive et que tes yeux soient ouverts, pour écouter la prière de ton serviteur que je fais aujourd'hui devant toi, jour et nuit, pour les fils d'Israël tes serviteurs, et la confession que je fais touchant les péchés des fils d'Israël, que nous avons commis contre toi; moi aussi et la maison de mon père, nous avons péché. ⁷ Nous avons très-mal agi contre toi, et nous n'avons pas gardé les commandements et les statuts et les ordonnances que tu as commandés à ton serviteur Moïse. ⁸ Souviens-toi, je te prie, de la parole que tu as commandée à ton serviteur Moïse, en disant: Si vous êtes infidèles, je vous disperserai parmi les peuples; ⁹ et si vous revenez à moi, et que vous gardiez mes commandements et que vous les pratiquiez, quand vos dispersés seraient au bout des cieux, je les rassemblerai de là et je les ramènerai au lieu que j'ai choisi pour y faire demeurer mon nom. ¹⁰ Et ils sont tes serviteurs et ton peuple, que tu as rachetés par ta grande puissance et ta main forte. ¹¹ Je te supplie, Seigneur, que ton oreille soit attentive à la prière de ton serviteur, et à la prière de tes serviteurs qui prennent plaisir à craindre ton nom; et fais réussir aujourd'hui ton serviteur, je te prie, et donne-lui de trouver miséricorde devant cet homme.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Les faits de Néhémie, fils de Hacalia. Il arriva au mois de Kisleu, en la vingtième année, comme j'étais à Susan, la ville capitale, ² Que Hanani, l'un de mes frères, et quelques gens, arrivèrent de Juda; et je m'enquis d'eux touchant les Juifs réchappés, qui étaient de reste de la captivité, et touchant Jérusalem. ³ Et ils me dirent : Ceux qui sont restés de la captivité, sont là dans la province, dans une grande misère et en opprobre; et la muraille de Jérusalem demeure renversée, et ses portes brûlées par feu. ⁴ Or il arriva que dès que j'eus entendu ces paroles, je m'assis, je pleurai, je menai deuil quelques jours, je jeûnai, et je fis ma prière devant le Dieu des cieux; ⁵ Et je dis : Je te prie, ô Eternel! Dieu des cieux, qui es le Fort, le Grand et le Terrible, qui gardes l'alliance et la gratuité à ceux qui t'aiment et qui observent tes commandements! ⁶ Je te prie, que ton oreille soit attentive, et que tes yeux soient ouverts pour entendre la prière de ton serviteur, laquelle je te présente en ce temps-ci, jour et nuit, pour les enfants d'Israël tes serviteurs, en faisant confession des péchés des enfants d'Israël, lesquels nous avons commis contre toi; même moi et la maison de mon père, nous avons péché. ⁷ Certainement nous sommes coupables devant toi, et nous n'avons point gardé les commandements, ni les ordonnances, ni les jugements que tu as prescrits à Moïse, ton serviteur. ⁸ Mais je te prie, souviens-toi de la parole dont tu donnas charge à Moïse, ton serviteur, en disant : Vous commettrez des crimes, et je vous disperserai parmi les peuples; ⁹ Puis vous retournerez à moi, et vous garderez mes commandements, et les ferez; et s'il y en a d'entre vous qui aient été chassés jusqu'à un bout des cieux, je vous rassemblerai de là, et je vous ramènerai au lieu que j'aurai choisi pour y faire habiter mon Nom. ¹⁰ Or ceux-ci sont tes serviteurs et ton peuple, que tu as racheté par ta grande puissance et par ta main forte. ¹¹ Je te prie donc, Seigneur! que ton oreille soit maintenant attentive à la prière de ton serviteur, et à la supplication de tes serviteurs, qui prennent plaisir à craindre ton Nom; et fais, je te prie, prospérer aujourd'hui ton serviteur, et fais qu'il trouve grâce envers cet homme-ci; car j'étais échanson du Roi.

Je jeûnai et je priai devant le Dieu des cieux, ⁵ et je dis: O Eternel, Dieu des cieux, Dieu grand et redoutable, toi qui gardes ton alliance et qui fais miséricorde à ceux qui t'aiment et qui observent tes commandements! ⁶ Que ton oreille soit attentive et que tes yeux soient ouverts: écoute la prière que ton serviteur t'adresse en ce moment, jour et nuit, pour tes serviteurs les enfants d'Israël, en confessant les péchés des enfants d'Israël, nos péchés contre toi; car moi et la maison de mon père, nous avons péché. ⁷ Nous t'avons offensé, et nous n'avons point observé les commandements, les lois et les ordonnances que tu prescrivis à Moïse, ton serviteur. ⁸ Souviens-toi de cette parole que tu donnas ordre à Moïse, ton serviteur, de prononcer. Lorsque vous pécherez, je vous disperserai parmi les peuples; ⁹ mais si vous revenez à moi, et si vous observez mes commandements et les mettez en pratique, alors, quand vous seriez exilés à l'extrémité du ciel, de là je vous rassemblerai et je vous ramènerai dans le lieu que j'ai choisi pour y faire résider mon nom. ¹⁰ Ils sont tes serviteurs et ton peuple, que tu as rachetés par ta grande puissance et par ta main forte. ¹¹ Ah!

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Слова Неемии, сына Ахалиина. В месяце Кислеве, в двадцатом году, я находился в Сузах, престольном городе. ² И пришел Ханани, один из братьев моих, он и несколько человек из Иудеи. И спросил я их об уцелевших Иудеях, которые остались от плена, и об Иерусалиме. ³ И сказали они мне: оставшиеся, которые остались от плена, находятся там, в стране своей , в великом бедствии и в уничижении; и стена Иерусалима разрушена, и ворота его сожжены огнем. ⁴ Услышав эти слова, я сел и заплакал, и печален был несколько дней, и постился и молился пред Богом небесным ⁵ и говорил: Господи Боже небес, Боже великий и страшный, хранящий завет и милость к любящим Тебя и соблюдающим заповеди Твои! ⁶ Да будут уши Твои внимательны и очи Твои отверсты, чтобы услышать молитву раба Твоего, которою я теперь день и ночь молюсь пред Тобою о сынах Израилевых, рабах Твоих, и исповедуюсь во грехах сынов Израилевых, которыми согрешили мы пред Тобою, согрешили – и я и дом отца моего. ⁷ Мы стали преступны пред Тобою и не сохранили заповедей и уставов и определений, которые Ты заповедал Моисею, рабу Твоему. ⁸ Но помяни слово, которое Ты заповедал Моисею, рабу Твоему, говоря: если вы сделаетесь преступниками, то Я рассею вас по народам; ⁹ когда же обратитесь ко Мне и будете хранить заповеди Мои и исполнять их, то хотя бы вы изгнаны были на край неба, и оттуда соберу вас и приведу вас на место, которое избрал Я, чтобы водворить там имя Мое. ¹⁰ Они же рабы Твои и народ Твой, который Ты искупил силою Твоею великою и рукою Твоеюмогущественною. ¹¹ Молю Тебя, Господи! Да будет ухо Твое внимательно к молитве раба Твоего и к молитверабов Твоих, любящих благоговеть пред именем Твоим. И благопоспеши рабу Твоему теперь, ивведи его в милость у человека сего. Я был виночерпием у царя.

И аз ги попитах за юдеите, остатъка, оцелял от плена, и за Ерусалим. ³ И те ми казаха: Останалите, които оцеляха от плена в тамошната област, живеят в голяма неволя и унижение; и стената на Ерусалим е съборена и портите му са изгорени с огън. ⁴ И когато чух тези думи, седнах и плаках, и тъжих дни наред; и постих и се молих пред небесния Бог и казах: ⁵ Моля Те, ГОСПОДИ, Боже небесни, велики и страшни Боже, който пазиш завета и милостта за тези, които Те любят и спазват Твоите заповеди, ⁶ моля Те, нека бъде ухото Ти внимателно и очите Ти отворени, за да чуеш молитвата на Своя слуга, която принасям сега пред Теб ден и нощ за Твоите слуги, израилевите синове, и с която изповядвам греховете на израилевите синове, с които сме съгрешили против теб. И аз, и бащиният ми дом сме съгрешили. ⁷ Много покварено постъпвахме против Теб и не опазихме заповедите и наредбите, и правилата, които Ти даде на слугата Си Мойсей. ⁸ Моля Те, спомни си словото, което си заповядал на слугата Си Мойсей, като си казал: Ако сте неверни, Аз ще ви разпръсна между народите, ⁹ но ако се обърнете към Мен и спазвате заповедите Ми и ги вършите, дори ако има от вас прогонени до краищата на небесата, и оттам ще ги събера и ще ги доведа на мястото, което избрах, за да настаня там Името Си. ¹⁰ А те са Твои слуги и Твой народ, който си изкупил с голямата Си сила и с мощната Си ръка. ¹¹ Моля Ти се, Господи, нека ухото Ти бъде внимателно към молитвата на слугата Ти, и към молитвата на слугите Ти, които се радват да се боят от Името Ти, и моля Те, дай днес успех на слугата Си и му дай да намери милост пред този човек — защото аз бях виночерпец на царя.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Povijest Nehemije, sina Hakalijina. Mjeseca Kisleva, dvadesete godine, kad sam bio u Susi, ² dođe Hanani, jedan od moje braće, s nekim ljudima iz Judeje. Ja ih zapitah o Židovima - o Ostatku što se spasio od sužanjstva i o Jeruzalemu. ³ Oni mi odgovoriše: "Ostatak, oni koji su nakon sužanjstva ostali u zemlji, u velikoj su nevolji i sramoti. Jeruzalemski je zid sav razoren, a vrata mu ognjem spaljena." ⁴ Kad sam čuo te vijesti, sjedoh i zaplakah. Tugovao sam više dana, postio i molio se pred Bogom nebeskim. ⁵ I rekoh: "O, Jahve, Bože nebeski, veliki i strašni Bože koji čuvaš Savez i naklonost onima koji te ljube i drže zapovijedi tvoje! ⁶ Neka uho tvoje bude pažljivo i oči tvoje otvorene da čuješ molitvu sluge svoga. Molim ti se sada, danju i noću, za sinove Izraelove, sluge tvoje, i ispovijedam grijehe sinova Izraelovih koje smo učinili protiv tebe; sagriješili smo i ja i kuća oca mojega! ⁷ Veoma smo zlo činili prema tebi, ne držeći naredaba tvojih, zakona i običaja koje si ti naredio po Mojsiju, sluzi svome. ⁸ Ali se opomeni riječi koje si povjerio Mojsiju, sluzi svome: 'Ako budete nevjerni, ja ću vas rasuti među narode; ⁹ ali ako se obratite meni i budete poštovali moje naredbe i držali ih, budu li neki od vas prognani i nakraj neba, ja ću vas sakupiti i odvesti na mjesto koje sam izabrao da ondje prebiva moje Ime.' ¹⁰ A, eto, oni su tvoje sluge i tvoj narod, koji si izbavio svojom velikom moći i snažnom rukom svojom. ¹¹ Ah, Gospode, neka uho tvoje bude pažljivo na molitvu sluge tvoga, na molitvu slugu tvojih, koji su spremni bojati se tvoga Imena. Smjerno te molim, udijeli danas sreću sluzi svome i učini da nađe milost pred ovim čovjekom." A ja bijah tada peharnik kraljev.

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Slova Nehemiáše syna Chachaliášova. I stalo se měsíce Kislev léta dvadcátého, když jsem byl na hradě Susan, ² Že přišel Chanani, jeden z bratří mých, s některými muži z Judstva. Kterýchžto vzeptal jsem se na Židy, na ostatky pozůstalé z zajetí a na Jeruzalém. ³ I řekli mi: Ostatkové ti, kteříž pozůstali z zajetí tam v té krajině, jsou u velikém nátisku a v pohanění, nadto i zed Jeruzalémská rozbořena jest, a brány jeho ohněm zkaženy. ⁴ Kterážto slova když jsem uslyšel, sedna plakal jsem a kvílil za několik dní, a postil jsem se, i modlil před Bohem nebeským. ⁵ A řekl jsem: Prosím, Hospodine Bože nebeský, silný, veliký a hrozný, ostříhající smlouvy a milosrdenství těm, jenž tě milují, a ostříhají přikázaní tvých, ⁶ Budiž, prosím, ucho tvé nakloněné, a oči tvé otevřené, abys slyšel modlitbu služebníka svého, kterouž já se modlím před tebou nyní dnem i nocí za syny Izraelské, služebníky tvé, a vyznávám hříchy synů Izraelských, jimiž jsme hřešili proti tobě. Já také i dům otce mého hřešili jsme. ⁷ Zpronevěřili jsme se tobě, a neostříhali jsme přikázaní a ustanovení a soudů, kteréž jsi vydal skrze Mojžíše služebníka svého. ⁸ Budiž pamětliv, prosím, na slovo, kteréž jsi přikázal Mojžíšovi služebníku svému, řka: Vy přestoupíte, já pak rozptýlím vás mezi národy. ⁹ Ale když se obrátíte ke mně, a budete ostříhati přikázaní mých, a plniti je, by pak někteří z vás až na kraj světa zahnáni byli, i odtud shromáždím je, a přivedu je zase na místo, kteréž jsem vyvolil, aby tam přebývalo jméno mé. ¹⁰ Však tito jsou služebníci tvoji a lid tvůj, kteréž jsi vykoupil mocí svou převelikou, a rukou svou přesilnou. ¹¹ Prosím, ó Hospodine, nechť jest nakloněné ucho tvé k modlitbě služebníka tvého, a k modlitbě služebníků tvých, kteříž žádají báti se jména tvého, a dej šťastný prospěch, prosím, služebníku svému dnes, nakloně k němu lítostí člověka toho. Já pak byl jsem šeňkéřem královským.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Inilah laporan Nehemia anak Hakhalya tentang kegiatan-kegiatannya. Dalam bulan Kislew pada tahun kedua puluh pemerintahan Artahsasta sebagai raja di Persia, aku, Nehemia, ada di Susan, ibukota kerajaan. ² Pada waktu itu, saudaraku Hanani, datang dari Yehuda bersama beberapa orang. Lalu mereka kutanyai tentang keadaan di Yerusalem dan orang-orang Yahudi yang telah kembali dari pembuangan di Babel. ³ Mereka menceritakan bahwa orang-orang bekas buangan yang telah kembali ke tanah air itu, kini hidup sengsara dan dihina oleh bangsa-bangsa asing yang ada di sekitarnya. Lagipula, tembok-tembok kota Yerusalem masih hancur berantakan dan pintu-pintu gerbangnya belum diperbaiki sejak dibakar di waktu yang lampau. ⁴ Mendengar berita itu, aku duduk dan menangis. Berhari-hari lamanya aku bersedih hati. Aku terus berpuasa sambil berdoa kepada Allah, ⁵ "Ya TUHAN Allah penguasa di surga. Engkau Allah yang Besar dan kami menghadap Engkau dengan penuh rasa takut. Engkau tetap setia dan memegang janji-Mu kepada orang yang cinta kepada-Mu dan mentaati perintah-Mu. ⁶ Pandanglah aku ya TUHAN, dan dengarkan doa yang kunaikkan ke hadapan-Mu siang dan malam untuk umat Israel, hamba-hamba-Mu itu. Aku mengakui bahwa kami, umat Israel, telah berdosa; aku dan para leluhurku telah berdosa juga. ⁷ Kami telah mendurhaka kepada-Mu dan melanggar perintah-perintah-Mu. Kami tidak mematuhi hukum-hukum yang telah Kauberikan kepada kami melalui Musa, hamba-Mu itu. ⁸ Ya TUHAN, ingatlah kata-kata-Mu yang diucapkan Musa atas perintah-Mu, bahwa jika kami, umat Israel, tidak setia kepada-Mu, kami akan Kauceraiberaikan di antara bangsa-bangsa lain. ⁹ Tetapi jika kami kembali lagi kepada-Mu dan mentaati perintah-perintah-Mu, maka kami yang sudah tercerai-berai itu akan Kaukumpulkan lagi, meskipun kami ada di ujung-ujung bumi. Lalu kami akan Kaukembalikan ke tempat yang sudah Kaupilih untuk menjadi tempat beribadat kepada-Mu. ¹⁰ TUHAN, kami ini hamba-hamba-Mu, umat-Mu sendiri yang telah Kauselamatkan dengan kuasa dan kekuatan-Mu yang hebat. ¹¹ Dengarkanlah doaku dan doa semua hamba-Mu yang lain, yang mau menghormati Engkau. Berikanlah pertolongan-Mu supaya pada hari ini hamba-Mu ini berhasil mendapat belas kasihan dari raja." Pada masa itu aku adalah pengurus minuman raja.

Egli avvenne l’anno ventesimo, al mese di Chisleu, che, essendo io in Susan, ² stanza reale, arrivò di Giudea Hanani, uno de’ miei fratelli, con alcuni altri uomini di Giuda. Ed io domandai loro dei Giudei, ch’erano scampati, e rimasti della cattività; domandai loro ancora di Gerusalemme. ³ Ed essi mi dissero: Quelli che son rimasti della cattività son là nella provincia, in gran miseria e vituperio; e le mura di Gerusalemme restano rotte, e le sue porte arse col fuoco. ⁴ E quando io ebbi intese quelle parole, io mi posi a sedere, e piansi, e feci cordoglio per molti giorni; e digiunai, e feci orazione, davanti all’Iddio del cielo, ⁵ e dissi: Ahi! Signore Iddio del cielo, Dio grande e tremendo, che osservi il patto e la benignità a quelli che t’amano ed osservano i tuoi comandamenti; ⁶ deh! sia l’orecchia tua attenta, e sieno gli occhi tuoi aperti, per ascoltar l’orazione del tuo servitore, la quale io fo al presente davanti a te, giorno e notte, per li figliuoli d’Israele, tuoi servitori; facendo anche confessione de’ peccati de’ figliuoli d’Israele, i quali abbiamo commessi contro a te; io ancora, e la casa di mio padre, abbiam peccato. ⁷ Noi ci siamo del tutto corrotti inverso te, e non abbiamo osservati i comandamenti, gli statuti e le leggi, che tu desti a Mosè, tuo servitore. ⁸ Deh! ricordati della parola che tu ordinasti a Mosè, tuo servitore, di dire: Voi commetterete misfatti, ed io vi dispergerò fra i popoli. ⁹ Ma se allora voi vi convertite a me, ed osservate i miei comandamenti, e li mettete in opera; avvegnachè voi foste stati scacciati fino all’estremità del cielo, io vi raccoglierò di là, e vi condurrò al luogo, il quale io avrò eletto per istanziarvi il mio nome. ¹⁰ Ora, coloro son tuoi servitori, e tuo popolo, il quale tu hai riscosso con la tua gran forza, e con la tua possente mano. ¹¹ Ahi! Signore; deh! sia l’orecchia tua attenta all’orazione del tuo servitore, ed all’orazione degli altri tuoi servitori, i quali hanno buona volontà di temere il tuo Nome; e fa’, ti prego, oggi prosperare il tuo servitore, e fa’ ch’egli trovi pietà appo quest’uomo.

Or avvenne che nel mese di Kisleu dell’anno ventesimo, mentr’io mi trovavo nel castello di Susan, ² Hanani, uno de’ miei fratelli, e alcuni altri uomini arrivarono da Giuda. Io li interrogai riguardo ai Giudei scampati, superstiti della cattività, e riguardo a Gerusalemme. ³ E quelli mi dissero: "I superstiti della cattività son là, nella provincia, in gran miseria e nell’obbrobrio; le mura di Gerusalemme restano rotte, e le sue porte, consumate dal fuoco". ⁴ Com’ebbi udite queste parole, io mi posi a sedere, piansi, feci cordoglio per parecchi giorni, e digiunai e pregai dinanzi all’Iddio del cielo. ⁵ E dissi: "O Eterno, Dio del cielo, Dio grande e tremendo; che mantieni il patto e la misericordia con quei che t’amano e osservano i tuoi comandamenti, ⁶ siano le tue orecchie attente, i tuoi occhi aperti, ed ascolta la preghiera del tuo servo, la quale io fo adesso dinanzi a te, giorno e notte, per i figliuoli d’Israele, tuoi servi, confessando i peccati de’ figliuoli d’Israele: peccati, che noi abbiam commessi contro di te; sì, che io e la casa di mio padre abbiamo commessi! ⁷ Noi ci siam condotti malvagiamente contro di te, e non abbiamo osservato i comandamenti, le leggi e le prescrizioni che tu desti a Mosè, tuo servo. ⁸ Deh, ricordati della parola che ordinasti a Mosè, tuo servo, di pronunziare: Se sarete infedeli, io vi disperderò fra i popoli; ⁹ ma se tornerete a me e osserverete i miei comandamenti e li metterete in pratica, quand’anche i vostri dispersi fossero gli estremi confini del mondo, io di là li raccoglierò; e li ricondurrò al luogo che ho scelto per farne la dimora del mio nome. ¹⁰ Or questi sono tuoi servi, tuo popolo; tu li hai redenti con la tua gran potenza e con la tua forte mano. ¹¹ O Signore, te ne prego, siano le tue orecchie attente alla preghiera del tuo servo e alla preghiera de’ tuoi servi, che hanno a cuore di temere il tuo nome; e concedi oggi, ti prego, buon successo al tuo servo, e fa’ ch’ei trovi pietà agli occhi di quest’uomo". Allora io ero coppiere del re.

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Nehemijo, Hachalijos sūnaus, žodžiai. Dvidešimtaisiais metais, Kislevo mėnesį, aš buvau sostinėje Sūzuose. ² Vienas iš mano brolių Hananis atvyko su keliais vyrais iš Judo. Aš juos klausinėjau apie žydus, kurie nebuvo ištremti, ir apie Jeruzalę. ³ Jie man atsakė: “Išvengę tremties, jie gyvena dideliame varge ir yra niekinami. Jeruzalės sienos sugriautos ir vartai sudeginti”. ⁴ Išgirdęs šituos žodžius, atsisėdau, verkiau ir liūdėjau ištisas dienas; pasninkavau ir meldžiausi prieš dangaus Dievą: ⁵ “Viešpatie, didis ir galingas dangaus Dieve, kuris laikaisi sandoros ir gailestingumo su tais, kurie Tave myli ir vykdo Tavo įsakymus. ⁶ Pažvelk į mane ir išgirsk savo tarno maldą. Meldžiuosi dieną ir naktį Tavo akivaizdoje už izraelitus, Tavo tarnus, išpažįstu jų nuodėmes, kuriomis mes visiaš ir mano tėvaiTau nusidėjome. ⁷ Mes elgėmės netinkamai prieš Tave ir nesilaikėme Tavo įsakymų, nuostatų ir potvarkių, kuriuos Tu davei savo tarnui Mozei. ⁸ Meldžiu, prisimink žodžius, kuriuos sakei savo tarnui Mozei: ‘Jei jūs nusikalsite, Aš jus išsklaidysiu tarp tautų, ⁹ o jei sugrįšite pas mane, laikysitės mano įsakymų ir juos vykdysite, tai Aš jus iš ten surinksiu ir parvesiu į vietą, kurią išrinkau savo vardui, nors jūsų išsklaidytieji būtų toliausiame žemės pakraštyje’. ¹⁰ Jie yra Tavo tarnai ir Tavo tauta, kurią išgelbėjai savo didele jėga ir galinga ranka. ¹¹ Viešpatie, meldžiu, tebūna Tavo ausis atidi mano maldai, išklausyk maldas savo tarnų, kurie bijosi Tavo vardo, siųsk šiandien savo tarnui sėkmę ir suteik jam malonę to žmogaus akyse”. Aš tuo laiku buvau karaliaus vyno pilstytojas.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Słowa Nehemijasza, syna Hachalijaszowego. I stało się miesiąca Chyslew, roku dwudziestego (Aswerusa króla) gdym był na zamku w Susan, ² Że przyszedł Chanani, jeden z braci moich, a z nim niektórzy mężowie z Judy, którychem się pytał o Żydów, którzy pozostali i wyszli z więzienia, i o Jeruzalem. ³ I odpowiedzieli mi: Te ostatki, które pozostały z więzienia tam w onej krainie, są w wielkiem utrapieniu, i w zelżywości: nadto mur Jeruzalemski rozwalony jest, i bramy jego spalone są ogniem. ⁴ A gdym usłyszał te słowa, siadłszy płakałem i narzekałem przez kilka dni, poszcząc i modląc się przed obliczem Boga niebieskiego. ⁵ I rzekłem; Proszę Panie, Boże niebieski, mocny, wielki i straszny! który strzeżesz umowy, i miłosierdzia z tymi, którzy cię miłują, i strzegą przykazania twego. ⁶ Niech będzie proszę ucho twoje nakłonione, a oczy twoje otworzone, abyś usłyszał modlitwę sługi twego, którą się ja dziś modlę przed tobą we dnie i w nocy za synami Izraelskimi, sługami twymi, i wyznaję grzechy synów Izraelskich, któremiśmy zgrzes zyli przeciw tobie; i ja i dom ojca mego zgrzeszyliśmy. ⁷ Srodześmy wystąpili przeciwko tobie, i nie przestrzegaliśmy przykazań, i ustaw, i sądów, któreś przykazał Mojżeszowi, słudze twemu. ⁸ Wspomnij proszę na słowo, któreś przykazał Mojżeszowi, słudze twemu, mówiąc: Jeżli wy wystąpicie, tedy Ja was rozproszę między narody; ⁹ Ale jeżli się nawrócicie do mnie, a strzedz będziecie przykazań moich, i czynić je, choćbyście byli wygnani na kraj świata, tedy i stamtąd was zgromadzę, i przyprowadzę was na miejsce, którem obrał, aby tam przebywało imię moje. ¹⁰ Wszak oni są słudzy twoi, i lud twój, któryś odkupił mocą twoją wielką, i ręką twą silną. ¹¹ Proszę o Panie! niech teraz będzie ucho twoje nakłonione ku modlitwie sługi twego i ku modlitwie sług twoich, którzy mają wolę bać się imienia twego; a zdarz dziś, proszę, słudze twemu, i spraw mu miłosierdzie przed tym mężem. A jam był podczaszym królewskim.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Palavras de Neemias, filho de Hacalias. Ora, sucedeu no mês de quisleu, no ano vigésimo, estando eu em Susa, a capital, ² que veio Hanani, um de meus irmãos, com alguns de Judá; e perguntei-lhes pelos judeus que tinham escapado e que restaram do cativeiro, e acerca de Jerusalém. ³ Eles me responderam: Os restantes que ficaram do cativeiro, lá na província estão em grande aflição e opróbrio; também está derribado o muro de Jerusalém, e as suas portas queimadas a fogo. ⁴ Tendo eu ouvido estas palavras, sentei-me e chorei, e lamentei por alguns dias; e continuei a jejuar e orar perante o Deus do céu, ⁵ e disse: Ó Senhor, Deus do céu, Deus grande e temível, que guardas o pacto e usas de misericórdia para com aqueles que te amam e guardam os teus mandamentos: ⁶ Estejam atentos os teus ouvidos e abertos os teus olhos, para ouvires a oração do teu servo, que eu hoje faço perante ti, dia e noite, pelos filhos de Israel, teus servos, confessando eu os pecados dos filhos de Israel, que temos cometido contra ti; sim, eu e a casa de meu pai pecamos; ⁷ na verdade temos procedido perversamente contra ti, e não temos guardado os mandamentos, nem os estatutos, nem os juízos, que ordenaste a teu servo Moisés. ⁸ Lembra-te, pois, da palavra que ordenaste a teu servo Moisés, dizendo: Se vós transgredirdes, eu vos espalharei por entre os povos; ⁹ mas se vos converterdes a mim, e guardardes os meus mandamentos e os cumprirdes, ainda que os vossos rejeitados estejam na extremidade do céu, de lá os ajuntarei e os trarei para o lugar que tenho escolhido para ali fazer habitar o meu nome. ¹⁰ Eles são os teus servos e o teu povo, que resgataste com o teu grande poder e com a tua mão poderosa. ¹¹ Ó Senhor, que estejam atentos os teus ouvidos à oração do teu servo, e à oração dos teus servos que se deleitam em temer o teu nome; e faz prosperar hoje o teu servo, e dá-lhe graça perante este homem. (Era eu então copeiro do rei.)

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Nehemias', Hakaljas sønns historie. I måneden kislev, i det tyvende år*, da jeg var i borgen Susan, / {* av kong Artaxerxes' regjering, NEH 2, 1.} ² kom Hanani, en av mine brødre, og nogen andre menn fra Juda. Jeg spurte dem da om jødene - den rest som var blitt frelst fra fangenskapet - og om Jerusalem. ³ De svarte mig: De som er blitt igjen fra fangenskapet og nu bor der i landskapet, er i stor ulykke og vanære; Jerusalems mur er nedrevet og portene opbrent. ⁴ Da jeg hørte denne tidende, satte jeg mig ned og gråt og sørget dag efter dag, og jeg fastet og bad for himmelens Guds åsyn. ⁵ Og jeg sa: Akk, Herre, himmelens Gud, du store og forferdelige Gud, som holder din pakt og bevarer din miskunnhet mot dem som elsker dig og holder dine bud! ⁶ La ditt øre være åpent og dine øine oplatt, så du hører på din tjeners bønn, den som jeg nu beder for ditt åsyn, både dag og natt, for dine tjenere Israels barn, idet jeg bekjenner Israels barns synder, som vi har gjort mot dig! Både jeg og min fars hus har syndet; ⁷ vi har båret oss ille at mot dig og ikke holdt de bud og lover og forskrifter som du gav din tjener Moses. ⁸ Kom i hu det ord som du talte til din tjener Moses da du sa: Bærer I eder troløst at, så vil jeg sprede eder blandt folkene; ⁹ men vender I om til mig og holder mine bud og gjør efter dem, da vil jeg, om enn de bortdrevne blandt eder er ved himmelens ende, samle dem derfra og føre dem til det sted jeg har utvalgt til å la mitt navn bo der. ¹⁰ De er dog dine tjenere og ditt folk, som du har utfridd med din store kraft og din sterke hånd. ¹¹ Akk, Herre! La ditt øre merke på din tjeners og dine tjeneres bønn, de som gjerne vil frykte ditt navn, og la det idag lykkes for din tjener, og la ham finne barmhjertighet hos denne mann! - Jeg var dengang munnskjenk hos kongen.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Istorisirea lui Neemia, fiul lui Hacalia. În luna Chişleu, în al douăzecilea an, pe cînd eram în capitala Susa, ² a venit Hanani, unul din fraţii mei, şi cîţiva oameni din Iuda. I-am întrebat despre Iudeii scăpaţi cari mai rămăseseră din robie, şi despre Ierusalim. ³ Ei mi-au răspuns:,,Ceice au mai rămas din robie sînt acolo în ţară, în cea mai mare nenorocire şi ocară; zidurile Ierusalimului sînt dărîmate, şi porţile sînt arse de foc.`` ⁴ Cînd am auzit aceste lucruri, am şezut jos, am plîns, şi m'am jălit multe zile. Am postit şi m'am rugat înaintea Dumnezeului cerurilor, ⁵ şi am zis:,,Doamne, Dumnezeul cerurilor, Dumnezeule mare şi înfricoşat, Tu care ţii legămîntul Tău şi eşti plin de îndurare faţă de ceice Te iubesc şi păzesc poruncile Tale! ⁶ Să ia aminte urechea Ta şi ochii să-Ţi fie deschişi: ascultă rugăciunea pe care ţi -o face robul Tău acum, zi şi noapte, pentru robii Tăi copiii lui Israel, mărturisind păcatele copiilor lui Israel, păcatele făcute de noi împotriva Ta; căci eu şi casa tatălui meu am păcătuit. ⁷ Te-am supărat, şi n'am păzit poruncile Tale, legile şi orînduirile, pe cari le-ai dat robului Tău Moise. ⁸ Adu-Ţi aminte de cuvintele acestea pe cari le-ai dat robului Tău Moise să le spună:,,Cînd veţi păcătui, vă voi risipi printre popoare; ⁹ dar dacă vă veţi întoarce la Mine, şi dacă veţi păzi poruncile Mele şi le veţi împlini, atunci, chiar dacă veţi fi izgoniţi la marginea cea mai depărtată a cerului, de acolo vă voi aduna şi vă voi aduce iarăş în locul pe care l-am ales ca să locuiască Numele Meu acolo.`` ¹⁰ Ei sînt robii Tăi şi poporul Tău, pe care l-ai răscumpărat prin puterea Ta cea mare şi prin mîna Ta cea tare. ¹¹ Ah! Doamne, să ia aminte urechea Ta la rugăciunea robului Tău, şi la rugăciunea robilor Tăi, cari vor să se teamă de Numele Tău! Dă astăzi izbîndă robului Tău, şi fă -l să capete trecere înaintea omului acestuia!`` Pe atunci eram paharnicul împăratului.

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Слова Неемії, Гахаліїного сина: І сталося в місяці кіслеві двадцятого року, і був я в замку Шушан. ² І прийшов Ханані, один із братів моїх, він та люди з Юдеї. І запитався я їх про юдеїв, що врятувалися, що позостали від полону, та про Єрусалим. ³ А вони сказали мені: Позосталі, що лишилися з полону, там в окрузі, живуть у великій біді та в ганьбі, а мур Єрусалиму поруйнований, а брами його попалені огнем... ⁴ І сталося, як почув я ці слова, сів я та й плакав, і був у жалобі кілька днів, і постив, і молився перед лицем Небесного Бога. ⁵ І сказав я: Молю Тебе, Господи, Боже Небесний, Боже великий та грізний, що дотримуєш заповіта та милість для тих, хто любить Тебе та дотримуєш заповіді Свої, ⁶ нехай же буде ухо Твоє чутке, а очі Твої відкриті, щоб прислухуватися до молитви раба Твого, якою я молюся сьогодні перед Твоїм лицем день та ніч за Ізраїлевих синів, Твоїх рабів, і сповідаюся в гріхах Ізраїлевих синів, якими грішили ми проти Тебе, і я і дім батька мого грішили! ⁷ Ми сильно провинилися перед Тобою, і не дотримували заповідей, і уставів, і прав, які наказав Ти Мойсеєві, рабові Своєму. ⁸ Пам'ятай же те слово, що Ти наказав був Мойсеєві, Своєму рабові, говорячи: як ви спроневіритеся, Я розпорошу вас поміж народами! ⁹ Та коли навернетеся до Мене, і будете дотримувати заповіді Мої й виконувати їх, то якщо будуть ваші вигнанці на краю небес, то й звідти позбираю їх, і приведу до того місця, яке Я вибрав, щоб там перебувало Ім'я Моє! ¹⁰ А вони раби Твої та народ Твій, якого Ти викупив Своєю великою силою та міцною Своєю рукою. ¹¹ Молю Тебе, Господи, нехай же буде ухо Твоє чутке до молитви Твойого раба та до молитви Твоїх рабів, що прагнуть боятися Ймення Твого!
