旧约 -- 尼希米记(Nehemiah) -- 第 1 章 ( 本篇共有 13 章 )
1:1 哈迦利亚的儿子尼希米的言语如下。亚达薛西王二十年基斯流月，我在书珊城的宫中。
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,
1:2 那时，有我一个弟兄哈拿尼，同着几个人从犹大来。我问他们那些被掳归回，剩下逃脱的犹大人和耶路撒冷的光景。
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.
1:3 他们对我说，那些被掳归回剩下的人，在犹大省遭大难，受凌辱。并且耶路撒冷的城墙拆毁，城门被火焚烧。
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.
1:4 我听见这话，就坐下哭泣，悲哀几日。在天上的神面前禁食祈祷，说，
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,
1:5 耶和华天上的神，大而可畏的神阿，你向爱你，守你诫命的人守约施慈爱。
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:
1:6 愿你睁眼看，侧耳听，你仆人昼夜在你面前，为你众仆人以色列民的祈祷，承认我们以色列人向你所犯的罪。我与我父家都有罪了。
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.
1:7 我们向你所行的甚是邪恶，没有遵守你藉着仆人，摩西所吩咐的诫命，律例，典章。
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.
1:8 求你记念所吩咐你仆人摩西的话，说，你们若犯罪，我就把你们分散在万民中。
Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:
1:9 但你们若归向我，谨守遵行我的诫命，你们被赶散的人虽在天涯，我也必从那里将他们招聚回来，带到我所选择立为我名的居所。
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.
1:10 这都是你的仆人，你的百姓，就是你用大力，和大能的手所救赎的。
Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.
1:11 主阿，求你侧耳听你仆人的祈祷，和喜爱敬畏你名众仆人的祈祷，使你仆人现今亨通，在王面前蒙恩。我是作王酒政的。
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.
旧约 -- 尼希米记(Nehemiah) -- 第 2 章 ( 本篇共有 13 章 )
2:1 亚达薛西王二十年尼散月，在王面前摆酒，我拿起酒来奉给王。我素来在王面前没有愁容。
And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him: and I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been beforetime sad in his presence.
2:2 王对我说，你既没有病，为什么面带愁容呢。这不是别的，必是你心中愁烦。于是我甚惧怕。
Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid,
2:3 我对王说，愿王万岁。我列祖坟墓所在的那城荒凉，城门被火焚烧，我岂能面无愁容吗。
And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?
2:4 王问我说，你要求什么。于是我默祷天上的神。
Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven.
2:5 我对王说，仆人若在王眼前蒙恩，王若喜欢，求王差遣我往犹大，到我列祖坟墓所在的那城去，我好重新建造。
And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it.
2:6 那时王后坐在王的旁边。王问我说，你去要多少日子。几时回来。我就定了日期。于是王喜欢差遣我去。
And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.
2:7 我又对王说，王若喜欢，求王赐我诏书，通知大河西的省长准我经过，直到犹大。
Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over till I come into Judah;
2:8 又赐诏书，通知管理王园林的亚萨，使他给我木料，做属殿营楼之门的横梁和城墙，与我自己房屋使用的。王就允准我，因我神施恩的手帮助我。
And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.
2:9 王派了军长和马兵护送我。我到了河西的省长那里，将王的诏书交给他们。
Then I came to the governors beyond the river, and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me.
2:10 和伦人叁巴拉，并为奴的亚扪人多比雅，听见有人来为以色列人求好处，就甚恼怒。
When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly that there was come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.
2:11 我到了耶路撒冷，在那里住了三日。
So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.
2:12 我夜间起来，有几个人也一同起来，但神使我心里要为耶路撒冷做什么事，我并没有告诉人。除了我骑的牲口以外，也没有别的牲口在我那里。
And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon.
2:13 当夜我出了谷门，往野狗井去（野狗或作龙），到了粪厂门，察看耶路撒冷的城墙，见城墙拆毁，城门被火焚烧。
And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire.
2:14 我又往前，到了泉门和王池，但所骑的牲口没有地方过去。
Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the king's pool: but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.
2:15 于是夜间沿溪而上，察看城墙，又转身进入谷门，就回来了。
Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and so returned.
2:16 我往哪里去，我做什么事，官长都不知道。我还没有告诉犹大平民，祭司，贵胄，官长，和其馀做工的人。
And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work.
2:17 以后，我对他们说，我们所遭的难，耶路撒冷怎样荒凉，城门被火焚烧，你们都看见了。来吧，我们重建耶路撒冷的城墙，免得再受凌辱。
Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.
2:18 我告诉他们我神施恩的手怎样帮助我，并王对我所说的话。他们就说，我们起来建造吧。于是他们奋勇做这善工。
Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.
2:19 但和伦人叁巴拉，并为奴的亚扪人多比雅，和阿拉伯人基善，听见就嗤笑我们，藐视我们，说，你们做什么呢。要背叛王吗。
But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king?
2:20 我回答他们说，天上的神必使我们亨通。我们作他仆人的，要起来建造。你们却在耶路撒冷无分，无权，无纪念。
Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.

旧约 -- 尼希米记(Nehemiah) -- 第 4 章 ( 本篇共有 13 章 )
4:1 叁巴拉听见我们修造城墙就发怒，大大恼恨，嗤笑犹大人。
But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews.
4:2 对他弟兄和撒玛利亚的军兵说，这些软弱的犹大人做什么呢。要保护自己吗。要献祭吗。要一日成功吗。要从土堆里拿出火烧的石头再立墙吗。
And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?
4:3 亚扪人多比雅站在旁边，说，他们所修造的石墙，就是狐狸上去也必？？倒。
Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall.
4:4 我们的神阿，求你垂听，因为我们被藐视。求你使他们的毁谤归于他们的头上，使他们在掳到之地作为掠物。
Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in the land of captivity:
4:5 不要遮掩他们的罪孽，不要使他们的罪恶从你面前涂抹，因为他们在修造的人眼前惹动你的怒气。
And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.
4:6 这样，我们修造城墙，城墙就都连络，高至一半，因为百姓专心做工。
So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
4:7 叁巴拉，多比雅，阿拉伯人，亚扪人，亚实突人听见修造耶路撒冷城墙，着手进行堵塞破裂的地方，就甚发怒。
But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,
4:8 大家同谋要来攻击耶路撒冷，使城内扰乱。
And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
4:9 然而，我们祷告我们的神，又因他们的缘故，就派人看守，昼夜防备。
Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
4:10 犹大人说，灰土尚多，扛抬的人力气已经衰败，所以我们不能建造城墙。
And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.
4:11 我们的敌人且说，趁他们不知，不见，我们进入他们中间，杀他们，使工作止住。
And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.
4:12 那靠近敌人居住的犹大人，十次从各处来见我们，说，你们必要回到我们那里。
And it came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times, From all places whence ye shall return unto us they will be upon you.
4:13 嚣以我使百姓各按宗族拿刀，拿枪，拿弓站在城墙后边低洼的空处。
Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
4:14 我察看了，就起来对贵胄，官长，和其馀的人说，不要怕他们。当记念主是大而可畏的。你们要为弟兄，儿女，妻子，家产争战。
And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the LORD, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
4:15 仇敌听见我们知道他们的心意，见神也破坏他们的计谋，就不来了。我们都回到城墙那里，各做各的工。
And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.
4:16 从那日起，我的仆人一半做工，一半拿枪，拿盾牌，拿弓，穿（穿或作拿）铠甲，官长都站在犹大众人的后边。
And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.
4:17 修造城墙的，扛抬材料的，都一手做工一手拿兵器。
They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.
4:18 修造的人都腰间佩刀修造，吹角的人在我旁边。
For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.
4:19 我对贵胄，官长，和其馀的人说，这工程浩大，我们在城墙上相离甚远。
And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another.
4:20 你们听见角声在哪里，就聚集到我们那里去。我们的神必为我们争战。
In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us.
4:21 于是，我们做工，一半拿兵器，从天亮直到星宿出现的时候。
So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.
4:22 那时，我又对百姓说，各人和他的仆人，当在耶路撒冷住宿，好在夜间保守我们，白昼做工。
Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour on the day.
4:23 这样，我和弟兄仆人，并跟从我的护兵都不脱衣服，出去打水也带兵器。
So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, none of us put off our clothes, saving that every one put them off for washing.
旧约 -- 尼希米记(Nehemiah) -- 第 5 章 ( 本篇共有 13 章 )
5:1 百姓和他们的妻大大呼号，埋怨他们的弟兄犹大人。
And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews.
5:2 有的说，我们和儿女人口众多，要去得粮食度命。
For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live.
5:3 有的说，我们典了田地，葡萄园，房屋，得粮食充饥。
Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth.
5:4 有的说，我们已经指着田地，葡萄园，借了钱给王纳税。
There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards.
5:5 我们的身体与我们弟兄的身体一样。我们的儿女与他们的儿女一般。现在我们将要使儿女作人的仆婢，我们的女儿已有为婢的。我们并无力拯救，因为我们的田地，葡萄园已经归了别人。
Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them; for other men have our lands and vineyards.
5:6 我听见他们呼号说这些话，便甚发怒。
And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.
5:7 我心里筹划，就斥责贵胄和官长说，你们各人向弟兄取利。于是我招聚大会攻击他们。
Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them.
5:8 我对他们说，我们尽力赎回我们弟兄，就是卖与外邦的犹大人。你们还要卖弟兄，我们赎回来吗。他们就静默不语，无话可答。
And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answer.
5:9 我又说，你们所行的不善。你们行事不当敬畏我们的神吗。不然，难免我们的仇敌外邦人毁谤我们。
Also I said, It is not good that ye do: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?
5:10 我和我的弟兄与仆人，也将银钱粮食借给百姓。我们大家都当免去利息。
I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this usury.
5:11 如今我劝你们将他们的田地，葡萄园，橄榄园，房屋，并向他们所取的银钱，粮食，新酒，和油，百分之一的利息都归还他们。
Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them.
5:12 众人说，我们必归还，不再向他们索要，必照你的话行。我就召了祭司来，叫众人起誓，必照着所应许的而行。
Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise.
5:13 我也抖着胸前的衣襟，说，凡不成就这应许的，愿神照样抖他离开家产和他劳碌得来的，直到抖空了。会众都说，阿们。又赞美耶和华。百姓就照着所应许的去行。
Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen, and praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise.
5:14 自从我奉派作犹大地的省长，就是从亚达薛西王二十年，直到三十二年，共十二年之久，我与我弟兄都没有吃省长的俸禄。
Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor.
5:15 在我以前的省长加重百姓的担子，每日索要粮食和酒，并银子四十舍客勒，就是他们的仆人也辖制百姓。但我因敬畏神不这样行。
But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God.
5:16 并且我恒心修造城墙，并没有置买田地。我的仆人也都聚集在那里做工。
Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered thither unto the work.
5:17 除了从四围外邦中来的犹大人以外，有犹大平民和官长一百五十人在我席上吃饭。
Moreover there were at my table an hundred and fifty of the Jews and rulers, beside those that came unto us from among the heathen that are about us.
5:18 每日预备一只公牛，六只肥羊，又预备些飞禽。每十日一次，多预备各样的酒。虽然如此，我并不要省长的俸禄，因为百姓服役甚重。
Now that which was prepared for me daily was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this required not I the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people.
5:19 我的神阿，求你记念我为这百姓所行的一切事，施恩与我。
Think upon me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.
旧约 -- 尼希米记(Nehemiah) -- 第 6 章 ( 本篇共有 13 章 )
6:1 叁巴拉，多比雅，阿拉伯人基善，和我们其馀的仇敌，听见我已经修完了城墙，其中没有破裂之处（那时我还没有安门扇）。
Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates;)
6:2 叁巴拉和基善就打发人来见我，说，请你来，我们在阿挪平原的一个村庄相会。他们却想害我。
That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.
6:3 于是我差遣人去见他们，说，我现在办理大工，不能下去。焉能停工下去见你们呢。
And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?
6:4 他们这样四次打发人来见我，我都如此回答他们。
Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner.
6:5 叁巴拉第五次打发仆人来见我，手里拿着未封的信，
Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;
6:6 信上写着说，外邦人中有风声，迦施慕（就是基善见二章十九节）也说，你和犹大人谋反，修造城墙，你要作他们的王。
Wherein was written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words.
6:7 你又派先知在耶路撒冷指着你宣讲，说在犹大有王。现在这话必传与王知。所以请你来，与我们彼此商议。
And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.
6:8 我就差遣人去见他，说，你所说的这事，一概没有，是你心里捏造的。
Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.
6:9 他们都要使我们惧怕，意思说，他们的手必软弱，以致工作不能成就。神阿，求你坚固我的手。
For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands.
6:10 我到了米希大别的孙子，第来雅的儿子示玛雅家里。那时，他闭门不出。他说，我们不如在神的殿里会面，将殿门关锁。因为他们要来杀你，是夜里来杀你。
Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee.
6:11 我说，像我这样的人岂要逃跑呢。像我这样的人岂能进入殿里保全生命呢。我不进去。
And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.
6:12 我看明神没有差遣他，是他自己说这话攻击我，是多比雅和叁巴拉贿买了他。
And, lo, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
6:13 贿买他的缘故，是要叫我惧怕，依从他犯罪，他们好传扬恶言毁谤我。
Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me.
6:14 我的神阿，多比雅，叁巴拉，女先知挪亚底，和其馀的先知要叫我惧怕，求你记念他们所行的这些事。
My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.
6:15 以禄月二十五日，城墙修完了，共修了五十二天。
So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.
6:16 我们一切仇敌，四围的外邦人听见了便惧怕，愁眉不展。因为见这工作完成是出乎我们的神。
And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.
6:17 在那些日子，犹大的贵胄屡次寄信与多比雅，多比雅也来信与他们。
Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came unto them.
6:18 在犹大有许多人与多比雅结盟。因他是亚拉的儿子，示迦尼的女婿，并且他的儿子，约哈难娶了比利迦儿子，米书兰的女儿为妻。
For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son in law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.
6:19 他们常在我面前说多比雅的善行，也将我的话传与他。多比雅又常寄信来，要叫我惧怕。
Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
旧约 -- 尼希米记(Nehemiah) -- 第 7 章 ( 本篇共有 13 章 )

7:2 我就派我的弟兄哈拿尼，和营楼的宰官哈拿尼雅，管理耶路撒冷。因为哈拿尼雅是忠信的，又敬畏神过于众人。
That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.
7:3 我吩咐他们说，等到太阳上升才可开耶路撒冷的城门。人尚看守的时候就要关门上闩。也当派耶路撒冷的居民，各按班次看守自己房屋对面之处。
And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be over against his house.
7:4 城是广大，其中的民却稀少，房屋还没有建造。
Now the city was large and great: but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.
7:5 我的神感动我心，招聚贵胄，官长，和百姓，要照家谱计算。我找着第一次上来之人的家谱，其上写着。
And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found written therein,

旧约 -- 尼希米记(Nehemiah) -- 第 8 章 ( 本篇共有 13 章 )
8:1 到了七月，以色列人住在自己的城里。那时，他们如同一人聚集在水门前的宽阔处，请文士以斯拉，将耶和华藉摩西传给以色列人的律法书带来。
And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel.
8:2 七月初一日，祭司以斯拉将律法书，带到听了能明白的男女会众面前。
And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month.
8:3 在水门前的宽阔处，从清早到晌午，在众男女，一切听了能明白的人面前读这律法书。众民侧耳而听。
And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law.
8:4 文士以斯拉站在为这事特备的木台上。玛他提雅，示玛，亚奈雅，乌利亚，希勒家，和玛西雅站在他的右边。毗大雅，米沙利，玛基雅，哈顺，哈拔大拿，撒迦利亚，和米书兰站在他的左边。
And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam.
8:5 以斯拉站在众民以上，在众民眼前晒开这书。他一展开，众民就都站起来。
And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up:
8:6 以斯拉称颂耶和华至大的神。众民都举手应声说，阿们，阿们，就低头，面伏于地，敬拜耶和华。
And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground.
8:7 耶书亚，巴尼，示利比，雅悯，亚谷，沙比太，荷第雅，玛西雅，基利他，亚撒利雅，约撒拔，哈难，毗莱雅，和利未人使百姓明白律法。百姓都站在自己的地方。
Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place.
8:8 他们清清楚楚地念神的律法书，讲明意思，使百姓明白所念的。
So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
8:9 省长尼希米和作祭司的文士以斯拉，并教训百姓的利未人，对众民说，今日是耶和华你们神的圣日，不要悲哀哭泣。这是因为众民听见律法书上的话都哭了。
And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.
8:10 又对他们说，你们去吃肥美的，喝甘甜的，有不能豫备的，就分给他。因为今日是我们主的圣日。你们不要忧愁，因靠耶和华而得的喜乐是你们的力量。
Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our LORD: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.
8:11 于是利未人使众民静默，说，今日是圣日。不要作声，也不要忧愁。
So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved.
8:12 众民都去吃喝，也分给人，大大快乐，因为他们明白所教训他们的话。
And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.
8:13 次日，众民的族长，祭司，和利未人都聚集到文士以斯拉那里，要留心听律法上的话。
And on the second day were gathered together the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law.
8:14 他们见律法上写着，耶和华藉摩西吩咐以色列人要在七月节住棚，
And they found written in the law which the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month:
8:15 并要在各城和耶路撒冷宣传报告说，你们当上山，将橄榄树，野橄榄树，番石榴树，棕树，和各样茂密树的枝子取来，照着所写的搭棚。
And that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.
8:16 于是百姓出去，取了树枝来，各人在自己的房顶上，或院内，或神殿的院内，或水门的宽阔处，或以法莲门的宽阔处搭棚。
So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the water gate, and in the street of the gate of Ephraim.
8:17 从掳到之地归回的全会众就搭棚，住在棚里。从嫩的儿子约书亚的时候直到这日，以色列人没有这样行。于是众人大大喜乐。
And all the congregation of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.
8:18 从头一天，直到末一天，以斯拉每日念神的律法书。众人守节七日，第八日照例有严肃会。
Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto the manner.
旧约 -- 尼希米记(Nehemiah) -- 第 9 章 ( 本篇共有 13 章 )
9:1 这月二十四日，以色列人聚集禁食，身穿麻衣，头蒙灰尘。
Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them.
9:2 以色列人（人原文作种类）就与一切外邦人离绝，站着承认自己的罪恶和列祖的罪孽。
And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.
9:3 那日的四分之一，站在自己的地方，念耶和华他们神的律法书，又四分之一认罪，敬拜耶和华他们的神。
And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of the LORD their God one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed, and worshipped the LORD their God.
9:4 耶书亚，巴尼，甲篾，示巴尼，布尼，示利比，巴尼，基拿尼站在利未人的台上，大声哀求耶和华他们的神。
Then stood up upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and cried with a loud voice unto the LORD their God.
9:5 利未人耶书亚，甲篾，巴尼，哈沙尼，示利比，荷第雅，示巴尼，毗他希雅说，你们要站起来称颂耶和华你们的神，永世无尽。耶和华阿，你荣耀之名是应当称颂的。超乎一切称颂和赞美。
Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the LORD your God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.
9:6 你，惟独你是耶和华。你造了天和天上的天，并天上的万象，地和地上的万物，海和海中所有的。这一切都是你所保存的。天军也都敬拜你。
Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.
9:7 你是耶和华神，曾拣选亚伯兰，领他出迦勒底的吾珥，给他改名叫亚伯拉罕。
Thou art the LORD the God, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;
9:8 你见他在你面前心里诚实，就与他立约。应许把迦南人，赫人，亚摩利人，比利洗人，耶布斯人，革迦撒人之地赐给他的后裔。且应验了你的话，因为你是公义的。
And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give it, I say, to his seed, and hast performed thy words; for thou art righteous:
9:9 你曾看见我们列祖在埃及所受的困苦，垂听他们在红海边的哀求。
And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red sea;
9:10 就施行神迹奇事在法老，和他一切臣仆，并他国中的众民身上。你也得了名声，正如今日一样，因为你知道他们向我们列祖行事狂傲。
And shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them. So didst thou get thee a name, as it is this day.
9:11 你又在我们列祖面前把海分开，使他们在海中行走乾地，将追赶他们的人抛在深海，如石头抛在大水中。
And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.
9:12 并且白昼用云柱引导他们，黑夜用火柱照亮他们当行的路。
Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go.
9:13 你也降临在西奈山，从天上与他们说话，赐给他们正直的典章，真实的律法，美好的条例与诫命。
Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:
9:14 又使他们知道你的安息圣日，并藉你仆人摩西传给他们诫命，条例，律法。
And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:
9:15 从天上赐下粮食充他们的饥，从磐石使水流出解他们的渴，又吩咐他们进去得你起誓应许赐给他们的地。
And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them.
9:16 但我们的列祖行事狂傲，硬着颈项不听从你的诫命。
But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments,
9:17 不肯顺从，也不记念你在他们中间所行的奇事，竟硬着颈项，居心背逆，自立首领，要回他们为奴之地。但你是乐意饶恕人，有恩典，有怜悯，不轻易发怒，有丰盛慈爱的神，并不丢弃他们。
And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.
9:18 他们虽然铸了一只牛犊，彼此说，这是领你出埃及的神。因而大大惹动你的怒气。
Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations;
9:19 你还是大施怜悯，在旷野不丢弃他们。白昼，云柱不离开他们，仍引导他们行路。黑夜，火柱也不离开他们，仍照亮他们当行的路。
Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should go.
9:20 你也赐下你良善的灵教训他们，未尝不赐吗哪使他们糊口，并赐水解他们的渴。
Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.
9:21 在旷野四十年，你养育他们，他们就一无所缺。衣服没有穿破，脚也没有肿。
Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not.
9:22 并且你将列国之地照分赐给他们，他们就得了西宏之地，希实本王之地，和巴珊王噩之地。
Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms and nations, and didst divide them into corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan.
9:23 你也使他们的子孙多如天上的星，带他们到你所应许他们列祖进入得为业之地。
Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou hadst promised to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it.
9:24 这样，他们进去得了那地，你在他们面前制伏那地的居民，就是迦南人。将迦南人和其君王，并那地的居民，都交在他们手里，让他们任意而待。
So the children went in and possessed the land, and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as they would.
9:25 他们得了坚固的城邑，肥美的地土，充满各样美物的房屋，凿成的水井，葡萄园，橄榄园，并许多果木树。他们就吃而得饱，身体肥胖，因你的大恩，心中快乐。
And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods, wells digged, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great goodness.
9:26 然而，他们不顺从，竟背叛你，将你的律法丢在背后，杀害那劝他们归向你的众先知，大大惹动你的怒气。
Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations.
9:27 所以你将他们交在敌人的手中，磨难他们。他们遭难的时候哀求你，你就从天上垂听，照你的大怜悯赐给他们拯救者，救他们脱离敌人的手。
Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.
9:28 但他们得平安之后，又在你面前行恶，所以你丢弃他们在仇敌的手中，使仇敌辖制他们。然而他们转回哀求你，你仍从天上垂听，屡次照你的怜悯拯救他们。
But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee: therefore leftest thou them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies;
9:29 又警戒他们，要使他们归服你的律法。他们却行事狂傲，不听从你的诫命，干犯你的典章（人若遵行就必因此活着），扭转肩头，硬着颈项，不肯听从。
And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.
9:30 但你多年宽容他们，又用你的灵藉众先知劝戒他们，他们仍不听从，所以你将他们交在列国之民的手中。
Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands.
9:31 然而你大发怜悯，不全然灭绝他们，也不丢弃他们。因为你是有恩典，有怜悯的神。
Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.
9:32 我们的神阿，你是至大，至能，至可畏，守约施慈爱的神。我们的君王，首领，祭司，先知，列祖，和你的众民。从亚述列王的时候直到今日所遭遇的苦难，现在求你不要以为小。
Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.
9:33 在一切临到我们的事上，你却是公义的。因你所行的是诚实，我们所做的是邪恶。
Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly:
9:34 我们的君王，首领，祭司，列祖都不遵守你的律法。不听从你的诫命和你警戒他们的话。
Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them.
9:35 他们在本国里沾你大恩的时候，在你所赐给他们这广大肥美之地上不事奉你，也不转离他们的恶行。
For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works.
9:36 我们现今作了奴仆。至于你所赐给我们列祖享受其上的土产，并美物之地，看哪，我们在这地上作了奴仆。
Behold, we are servants this day, and for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants in it:
9:37 这地许多出产归了列王，就是你因我们的罪所派辖制我们的。他们任意辖制我们的身体和牲畜，我们遭了大难。
And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.
9:38 因这一切的事，我们立确实的约，写在册上。我们的首领，利未人，和祭司都签了名。
And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests, seal unto it.

10:30 并不将我们的女儿嫁给这地的居民，也不为我们的儿子娶他们的女儿。
And that we would not give our daughters unto the people of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons:
10:31 这地的居民若在安息日，或什么圣日，带了货物或粮食来卖给我们，我们必不买。每逢第七年必不耕种，凡欠我们债的必不追讨。
And if the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy it of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day: and that we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.

10:38 利未人取十分之一的时候，亚伦的子孙中，当有一个祭司与利未人同在。利未人也当从十分之一中取十分之一，奉到我们神殿的屋子里，收在库房中。
And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house.
10:39 以色列人和利未人要将五谷，新酒，和油为举祭，奉到收存圣所器皿的屋子里，就是供职的祭司，守门的，歌唱的所住的屋子。这样，我们就不离弃我们神的殿。
For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil, unto the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our God.

And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.

And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain country round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi;
12:29 又从迦巴和押玛弗的田地聚集，因为歌唱的人在耶路撒冷四围为自己立了村庄。
Also from the house of Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem.
12:30 祭司和利未人就洁净自己，也洁净百姓和城门，并城墙。
And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
12:31 我带犹大的首领上城，使称谢的人分为两大队，排列而行。第一队在城上往右边向粪厂门行走。
Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies of them that gave thanks, whereof one went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate:
12:32 在他们后头的有何沙雅，与犹大首领的一半。
And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,

And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

And certain of the priests' sons with trumpets; namely, Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph:
12:36 又有撒迦利亚的弟兄示玛雅，亚撒利，米拉莱，基拉莱，玛艾，拿坦业，犹大，哈拿尼，都拿着神人大卫的乐器，文士以斯拉引领他们。
And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe before them.
12:37 他们经过泉门往前，从大卫城的台阶随地势而上，在大卫宫殿以上，直行到朝东的水门。
And at the fountain gate, which was over against them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, above the house of David, even unto the water gate eastward.
12:38 第二队称谢的人，要与那一队相迎而行。我和民的一半跟随他们，在城墙上过了炉楼，直到宽墙。
And the other company of them that gave thanks went over against them, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even unto the broad wall;
12:39 又过了以法莲门，古门，鱼门，哈楠业楼，哈米亚楼，直到羊门，就在护卫门站住。
And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate.
12:40 于是，这两队称谢的人连我，和官长的一半，站在神的殿里。
So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me:

And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
12:43 那日，众人献大祭而欢乐。因为神使他们大大欢乐，连妇女带孩童也都欢乐，甚至耶路撒冷中的欢声听到远处。
Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.
12:44 当日，派人管理库房，将举祭，初熟之物，和所取的十分之一，就是按各城田地，照律法所定归给祭司和利未人的分，都收在里头。犹大人因祭司和利未人供职，就欢乐了。
And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited.
12:45 祭司利未人遵守神所吩咐的，并守洁净的礼。歌唱的，守门的，照着大卫和他儿子所罗门的命令也如此行。
And both the singers and the porters kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.
12:46 古时，在大卫和亚萨的日子，有歌唱的伶长，并有赞美称谢神的诗歌。
For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.
12:47 当所罗巴伯和尼希米的时候，以色列众人将歌唱的，守门的，每日所当得的分供给他们，又给利未人当得的分。利未人又给亚伦的子孙当得的分。
And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified holy things unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron.
旧约 -- 尼希米记(Nehemiah) -- 第 13 章 ( 本篇共有 13 章 )
13:1 当日，人念摩西的律法书给百姓听，遇见书上写着说，亚扪人和摩押人永不可入神的会。
On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever;
13:2 因为他们没有拿食物，和水来迎接以色列人，且雇了巴兰咒诅他们，但我们的神使那咒诅变为祝福。
Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing.
13:3 以色列民听见这律法，就与一切闲杂人绝交。
Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.
13:4 先是蒙派管理我们神殿中库房，的祭司以利亚实与多比雅结亲。
And before this, Eliashib the priest, having the oversight of the chamber of the house of our God, was allied unto Tobiah:
13:5 便为他预备一间大屋子，就是从前收存素祭，乳香，器皿，和照命令供给利未人，歌唱的，守门的五谷，新酒，和油的十分之一，并归祭司举祭的屋子。
And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the meat offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, which was commanded to be given to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the offerings of the priests.
13:6 那时我不在耶路撒冷。因为巴比伦王亚达薛西三十二年，我回到王那里。过了多日，我向王告假。
But in all this time was not I at Jerusalem: for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I unto the king, and after certain days obtained I leave of the king:
13:7 我来到耶路撒冷，就知道以利亚实为多比雅在神殿的院内，预备屋子的那件恶事。
And I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.
13:8 我甚恼怒，就把多比雅的一切家具从屋里都抛出去。
And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber.
13:9 吩咐人洁净这屋子，遂将神殿的器皿和素祭，乳香又搬进去。
Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat offering and the frankincense.
13:10 我见利未人所当得的分，无人供给他们，甚至供职的利未人与歌唱的，俱各奔回自己的田地去了。
And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.
13:11 我就斥责官长说，为何离弃神的殿呢。我便招聚利未人，使他们照旧供职。
Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in their place.
13:12 犹大众人就把五谷，新酒，和油的十分之一送入库房。
Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries.
13:13 我派祭司示利米雅，文士撒督，和利未人毗大雅作库官管理库房。副官是哈难。哈难是撒刻的儿子。撒刻是玛他尼的儿子。这些人都是忠信的，他们的职分是将所供给的分给他们的弟兄。
And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: for they were counted faithful, and their office was to distribute unto their brethren.
13:14 我的神阿，求你因这事记念我，不要涂抹我为神的殿，与其中的礼节所行的善。
Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the offices thereof.
13:15 那些日子，我在犹大见有人在安息日榨酒（原文作踹酒榨），搬运禾捆驮在驴上。又把酒，葡萄，无花果，和各样的担子在安息日担入耶路撒冷，我就在他们卖食物的那日警戒他们。
In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals.
13:16 又有推罗人住在耶路撒冷。他们把鱼和各样货物运进来，在安息日卖给犹大人。
There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
13:17 我就斥责犹大的贵胄说，你们怎吗行这恶事犯了安息日呢。
Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?
13:18 从前你们列祖岂不是这样行，以致我们神使一切灾祸临到我们，和这城吗。现在你们还犯安息日，使忿怒越发临到以色列。
Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.
13:19 在安息日的前一日，耶路撒冷城门有黑影的时候，我就吩咐人将门关锁，不过安息日不准开放。我又派我几个仆人管理城门，免得有人在安息日担什么担子进城。
And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.
13:20 于是商人和贩卖各样货物的，一两次住宿在耶路撒冷城外。
So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice.
13:21 我就警戒他们说，你们为何在城外住宿呢。若再这样，我必下手拿办你们。从此以后，他们在安息日不再来了。
Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath.
13:22 我吩咐利未人洁净自己，来守城门，使安息日为圣。我的神阿，求你因这事记念我，照你的大慈爱怜恤我。
And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.
13:23 那些日子，我也见犹大人娶了亚实突，亚扪，摩押的女子为妻。
In those days also saw I Jews that had married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab:
13:24 他们的儿女说话，一半是亚实突的话，不会说犹大的话，所说的是照着各族的方言。
And their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews' language, but according to the language of each people.
13:25 我就斥责他们，咒诅他们，打了他们几个人，拔下他们的头发，叫他们指着神起誓，必不将自己的女儿嫁给外邦人的儿子，也不为自己和儿子娶他们的女儿。
And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves.
13:26 我又说，以色列王所罗门不是在这样的事上犯罪吗。在多国中并没有一王像他，且蒙他神所爱，神立他作以色列全国的王。然而连他也被外邦女子引诱犯罪。
Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin.
13:27 如此，我岂听你们行这大恶，娶外邦女子干犯我们的神呢。
Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?
13:28 大祭司以利亚实的孙子，耶何耶大的一个儿子是，和伦人叁巴拉的女婿，我就从我这里把他赶出去。
And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son in law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I chased him from me.
13:29 我的神阿，求你记念他们的罪。因为他们玷污了祭司的职任，违背你与祭司利未人所立的约。
Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.
13:30 这样，我洁净他们，使他们离绝一切外邦人，派定祭司和利未人的班次，使他们各尽其职。
Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, and appointed the wards of the priests and the Levites, every one in his business;
13:31 我又派百姓按定期献柴，和初熟的土产。我的神阿，求你记念我，施恩与我。
And for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.
