    [bbe]  The history of Nehemiah, the son of Hacaliah. Now it came about, in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, when I was in Shushan, the king's town,
1:2 [hgb]  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 。
    [kjv]  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 captivity¹, and concerning Jerusalem.
    [bbe]  That Hanani, one of my brothers, came with certain men from Judah; and in answer to my request for news of the Jews who had been prisoners and had got away, and of Jerusalem,
1:3 [hgb]  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 。
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  They said to me, The small band of Jews now living there in the land are in great trouble and shame: the wall of Jerusalem has been broken down, and its doorways² burned with fire.
1:4 [hgb]  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 ，
    [kjv]  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,
    [bbe]  Then, after hearing these words, for some days I gave myself up to weeping and sorrow, seated on the earth; and taking no food I made prayer to the God of heaven,
1:5 [hgb]  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 。
    [kjv]  And said, I beseech³ thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant⁴ and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:
    [bbe]  And said, O Lord, the God of heaven, the great God, greatly to be feared, keeping faith and mercy with those who have love for him and are true to his laws:
1:6 [hgb]  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 。
    [kjv]  Let thine ear now be attentive⁵, 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.
    [bbe]  Let your ear now take note and let your eyes be open, so that you may give ear to the prayer of your servant, which I make before you at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel, your servants, while I put before you the sins of the children of Israel, which we have done against you: truly, I and my father's people are sinners.
1:7 [hgb]  我 们 向 你 所 行 的 甚 是 邪 恶 ， 没 有 遵 守 你 借 着 仆 人 ， 摩 西 所 吩 咐 的 诫 命 ， 律 例 ， 典 章 。
    [kjv]  We have dealt very corruptly⁶ against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes⁷, nor the judgments⁸, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.
    [bbe]  We have done great wrong against you, and have not kept the orders, the rules, and the decisions, which you gave to your servant Moses.
1:8 [hgb]  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 。
    [kjv]  Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress⁹, I will scatter¹⁰ you abroad among the nations:
    [bbe]  Keep in mind, O Lord, the order you gave your servant Moses, saying, If you do wrong I will send you wandering among the peoples:
1:9 [hgb]  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 。
    [kjv]  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.
    [bbe]  But if you come back to me and keep my orders and do them, even if those of you who have been forced out are living in the farthest parts of heaven, I will get them from there, and take them back to the place marked out by me for the resting-place of my name.
1:10 [hgb]  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 。
    [kjv]  Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed¹¹ by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.
    [bbe]  Now these are your servants and your people, whom you have made yours by your great power and by your strong hand.
1:11 [hgb]  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 。
    [kjv]  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 prosper¹², I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king's cupbearer.
    [bbe]  O Lord, let your ear take note of the prayer of your servant, and of the prayers of your servants, who take delight in worshipping your name: give help, O Lord, to your servant this day, and let him have mercy in the eyes of this man. (Now I was the king's wine-servant.)
