尼希米记
尼希米记第1章
尼1:1
The words of Neemiah son of Hacaliah: In the month of Kislev in the twentieth year, while I was in the citadel of Susa,
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。
尼1:2
Hanani, one of my brothers, came from Judah with some other men, and I questioned them about the Jewish remnant that survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem.
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。
尼1:3
They said to me, "Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire."
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。”
尼1:4
When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven.
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：
尼1:5
Then I said: "O LORD, God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and obey his commands,
“耶和华天上的 神，大而可畏的 神啊，你向爱你、守你诫命的人守约，施慈爱。
尼1:6
let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess the sins we Israelites, including myself and my father's house, have committed against you.
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。
尼1:7
We have acted very wickedly toward you. We have not obeyed the commands, decrees and laws you gave your servant Moses.
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。
尼1:8
"Remember the instruction you gave your servant Moses, saying, 'If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations,
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；
尼1:9
but if you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name.'
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。’
尼1:10
"They are your servants and your people, whom you redeemed by your great strength and your mighty hand.
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。
尼1:11
O Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favor in the presence of this man." I was cupbearer to the king.
主啊，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。
尼希米记第2章
尼2:1
In the month of Nisan in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was brought for him, I took the wine and gave it to the king. I had not been sad in his presence before;
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。
尼2:2
so the king asked me, "Why does your face look so sad when you are not ill? This can be nothing but sadness of heart." I was very much afraid,
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。
尼2:3
but I said to the king, "May the king live forever! Why should my face not look sad when the city where my fathers are buried lies in ruins, and its gates have been destroyed by fire?"
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？”
尼2:4
The king said to me, "What is it you want?" Then I prayed to the God of heaven,
王问我说：“你要求什么？”于是我默祷天上的 神。
尼2:5
and I answered the king, "If it pleases the king and if your servant has found favor in his sight, let him send me to the city in Judah where my fathers are buried so that I can rebuild it."
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。”
尼2:6
Then the king, with the queen sitting beside him, asked me, "How long will your journey take, and when will you get back?" It pleased the king to send me; so I set a time.
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。
尼2:7
I also said to him, "If it pleases the king, may I have letters to the governors of Trans-Euphrates, so that they will provide me safe-conduct until I arrive in Judah?
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；
尼2:8
And may I have a letter to Asaph, keeper of the king's forest, so he will give me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel by the temple and for the city wall and for the residence I will occupy?" And because the gracious hand of my God was upon me, the king granted my requests.
又赐诏书，通知管理王园林的亚萨，使他给我木料，作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。
尼2:9
So I went to the governors of Trans-Euphrates and gave them the king's letters. The king had also sent army officers and cavalry with me.
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。
尼2:10
When Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official heard about this, they were very much disturbed that someone had come to promote the welfare of the Israelites.
和伦人参巴拉，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。
尼2:11
I went to Jerusalem, and after staying there three days
我到了耶路撒冷，在那里住了三日。
尼2:12
I set out during the night with a few men. I had not told anyone what my God had put in my heart to do for Jerusalem. There were no mounts with me except the one I was riding on.
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。
尼2:13
By night I went out through the Valley Gate toward the Jackal Well and the Dung Gate, examining the walls of Jerusalem, which had been broken down, and its gates, which had been destroyed by fire.
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。
尼2:14
Then I moved on toward the Fountain Gate and the King's Pool, but there was not enough room for my mount to get through;
我又往前，到了泉门和王池，但所骑的牲口没有地方过去。
尼2:15
so I went up the valley by night, examining the wall. Finally, I turned back and reentered through the Valley Gate.
于是，夜间沿溪而上，察看城墙，又转身进入谷门，就回来了。
尼2:16
The officials did not know where I had gone or what I was doing, because as yet I had said nothing to the Jews or the priests or nobles or officials or any others who would be doing the work.
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、官长和其余做工的人。
尼2:17
Then I said to them, "You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace."
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。”
尼2:18
I also told them about the gracious hand of my God upon me and what the king had said to me. They replied, "Let us start rebuilding." So they began this good work.
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。
尼2:19
But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite official and Geshem the Arab heard about it, they mocked and ridiculed us. "What is this you are doing?" they asked. "Are you rebelling against the king?"
但和伦人参巴拉，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？”
尼2:20
I answered them by saying, "The God of heaven will give us success. We his servants will start rebuilding, but as for you, you have no share in Jerusalem or any claim or historic right to it."
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、无记念。”

尼4:2
and in the presence of his associates and the army of Samaria, he said, "What are those feeble Jews doing? Will they restore their wall? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they finish in a day? Can they bring the stones back to life from those heaps of rubble--burned as they are?"
对他弟兄和撒马利亚的军兵说：“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？”

Tobiah the Ammonite, who was at his side, said, "What they are building--if even a fox climbed up on it, he would break down their wall of stones!"
亚扪人多比雅站在旁边说：“他们所修造的石墙，就是狐狸上去也必跐倒。”

Hear us, O our God, for we are despised. Turn their insults back on their own heads. Give them over as plunder in a land of captivity.
我们的 神啊，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。
尼4:5
Do not cover up their guilt or blot out their sins from your sight, for they have thrown insults in the face of the builders.
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。

Meanwhile, the people in Judah said, "The strength of the laborers is giving out, and there is so much rubble that we cannot rebuild the wall."
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。”
尼4:11
Also our enemies said, "Before they know it or see us, we will be right there among them and will kill them and put an end to the work."
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。”

Then the Jews who lived near them came and told us ten times over, "Wherever you turn, they will attack us."
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。”

Therefore I stationed some of the people behind the lowest points of the wall at the exposed places, posting them by families, with their swords, spears and bows.
所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。

我察看了，就起来对贵胄、官长和其余的人说： “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！”

When our enemies heard that we were aware of their plot and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall, each to his own work.
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。

从那日起，我的仆人一半做工，一半拿枪、拿盾牌、拿弓、穿（或作“拿”）铠甲。官长都站在犹大众人的后边。

who were building the wall. Those who carried materials did their work with one hand and held a weapon in the other,
修造城墙的、扛抬材料的，都一手做工，一手拿兵器。
尼4:18
and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked. But the man who sounded the trumpet stayed with me.
修造的人都腰间佩刀修造，吹角的人在我旁边。

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。”
尼4:23
Neither I nor my brothers nor my men nor the guards with me took off our clothes; each had his weapon, even when he went for water.
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。
尼希米记第5章
尼5:1
Now the men and their wives raised a great outcry against their Jewish brothers.
百姓和他们的妻大大呼号，埋怨他们的弟兄犹大人。
尼5:2
Some were saying, "We and our sons and daughters are numerous; in order for us to eat and stay alive, we must get grain."
有的说：“我们和儿女人口众多，要去得粮食度命。”
尼5:3
Others were saying, "We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards and our homes to get grain during the famine."
有的说：“我们典了田地、葡萄园、房屋，要得粮食充饥。”
尼5:4
Still others were saying, "We have had to borrow money to pay the king's tax on our fields and vineyards.
有的说：“我们已经指着田地、葡萄园，借了钱给王纳税。
尼5:5
Although we are of the same flesh and blood as our countrymen and though our sons are as good as theirs, yet we have to subject our sons and daughters to slavery. Some of our daughters have already been enslaved, but we are powerless, because our fields and our vineyards belong to others."
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。”
尼5:6
When I heard their outcry and these charges, I was very angry.
我听见他们呼号，说这些话，便甚发怒。
尼5:7
I pondered them in my mind and then accused the nobles and officials. I told them, "You are exacting usury from your own countrymen!" So I called together a large meeting to deal with them
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。
尼5:8
and said: "As far as possible, we have bought back our Jewish brothers who were sold to the Gentiles. Now you are selling your brothers, only for them to be sold back to us!" They kept quiet, because they could find nothing to say.
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，使我们赎回来吗？”他们就静默不语，无话可答。
尼5:9
So I continued, "What you are doing is not right. Shouldn't you walk in the fear of our God to avoid the reproach of our Gentile enemies?
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。
尼5:10
I and my brothers and my men are also lending the people money and grain. But let the exacting of usury stop!
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。
尼5:11
Give back to them immediately their fields, vineyards, olive groves and houses, and also the usury you are charging them--the hundredth part of the money, grain, new wine and oil."
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。”
尼5:12
"We will give it back," they said. "And we will not demand anything more from them. We will do as you say." Then I summoned the priests and made the nobles and officials take an oath to do what they had promised.
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。
尼5:13
I also shook out the folds of my robe and said, "In this way may God shake out of his house and possessions every man who does not keep this promise. So may such a man be shaken out and emptied!" At this the whole assembly said, "Amen," and praised the LORD. And the people did as they had promised.
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。
尼5:14
Moreover, from the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, until his thirty-second year--twelve years--neither I nor my brothers ate the food allotted to the governor.
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。
尼5:15
But the earlier governors--those preceding me--placed a heavy burden on the people and took forty shekels of silver from them in addition to food and wine. Their assistants also lorded it over the people. But out of reverence for God I did not act like that.
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。
尼5:16
Instead, I devoted myself to the work on this wall. All my men were assembled there for the work; we did not acquire any land.
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。
尼5:17
Furthermore, a hundred and fifty Jews and officials ate at my table, as well as those who came to us from the surrounding nations.
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。
尼5:18
Each day one ox, six choice sheep and some poultry were prepared for me, and every ten days an abundant supply of wine of all kinds. In spite of all this, I never demanded the food allotted to the governor, because the demands were heavy on these people.
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。
尼5:19
Remember me with favor, O my God, for all I have done for these people.
我的 神啊，求你记念我为这百姓所行的一切事，施恩与我。
尼希米记第6章
尼6:1
When word came to Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab and the rest of our enemies that I had rebuilt the wall and not a gap was left in it--though up to that time I had not set the doors in the gates--
参巴拉、多比雅、亚拉伯人基善和我们其余的仇敌，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）。
尼6:2
Sanballat and Geshem sent me this message: "Come, let us meet together in one of the villages on the plain of Ono." But they were scheming to harm me;
参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。
尼6:3
so I sent messengers to them with this reply: "I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and go down to you?"
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？”
尼6:4
Four times they sent me the same message, and each time I gave them the same answer.
他们这样四次打发人来见我，我都如此回答他们。
尼6:5
Then, the fifth time, Sanballat sent his aide to me with the same message, and in his hand was an unsealed letter
参巴拉第五次打发仆人来见我，手里拿着未封的信，
尼6:6
in which was written: "It is reported among the nations--and Geshem says it is true--that you and the Jews are plotting to revolt, and therefore you are building the wall. Moreover, according to these reports you are about to become their king
信上写着说：“外邦人中有风声，迦施慕（就是“基善”，见2章19节）也说，你和犹大人谋反，修造城墙，你要作他们的王。
尼6:7
and have even appointed prophets to make this proclamation about you in Jerusalem: 'There is a king in Judah!' Now this report will get back to the king; so come, let us confer together."
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。”
尼6:8
I sent him this reply: "Nothing like what you are saying is happening; you are just making it up out of your head."
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。”
尼6:9
They were all trying to frighten us, thinking, "Their hands will get too weak for the work, and it will not be completed." But I prayed,"Now strengthen my hands."
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。”“ 神啊，求你坚固我的手。”
尼6:10
One day I went to the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was shut in at his home. He said, "Let us meet in the house of God, inside the temple, and let us close the temple doors, because men are coming to kill you--by night they are coming to kill you."
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，就是夜里来杀你。”
尼6:11
But I said, "Should a man like me run away? Or should one like me go into the temple to save his life? I will not go!"
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！”
尼6:12
I realized that God had not sent him, but that he had prophesied against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
我看明 神没 有差遣他，是他自己说这话攻击我，是多比雅和参巴拉贿买了他。
尼6:13
He had been hired to intimidate me so that I would commit a sin by doing this, and then they would give me a bad name to discredit me.
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。
尼6:14
Remember Tobiah and Sanballat, O my God, because of what they have done; remember also the prophetess Noadiah and the rest of the prophets who have been trying to intimidate me.
我的 神啊！多比雅、参巴拉、女先知挪亚底和其余的先知，要叫我惧怕，求你记念他们所行的这些事。
尼6:15
So the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of Elul, in fifty-two days.
以禄月二十五日，城墙修完了，共修了五十二天。
尼6:16
When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and lost their self-confidence, because they realized that this work had been done with the help of our God.
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。
尼6:17
Also, in those days the nobles of Judah were sending many letters to Tobiah, and replies from Tobiah kept coming to them.
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。
尼6:18
For many in Judah were under oath to him, since he was son-in-law to Shecaniah son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam son of Berekiah.
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。
尼6:19
Moreover, they kept reporting to me his good deeds and then telling him what I said. And Tobiah sent letters to intimidate me.
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。
尼希米记第7章
尼7:1
After the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed.
城墙修完，我安了门扇，守门的、歌唱的和利未人都已派定。
尼7:2
I put in charge of Jerusalem my brother Hanani, along with Hananiah the commander of the citadel, because he was a man of integrity and feared God more than most men do.
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。
尼7:3
I said to them, "The gates of Jerusalem are not to be opened until the sun is hot. While the gatekeepers are still on duty, have them shut the doors and bar them. Also appoint residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some near their own houses."
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。”
尼7:4
Now the city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it, and the houses had not yet been rebuilt.
城是广大，其中的民却稀少，房屋还没有建造。
尼7:5
So my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials and the common people for registration by families. I found the genealogical record of those who had been the first to return. This is what I found written there:
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：
尼7:6
These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had taken captive (they returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town,
巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒从前掳去犹大省的人，现在他们的子孙从被掳到之地回耶路撒冷和犹大，各归本城。
尼7:7
in company with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Neemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Neum and Baanah): The list of the men of Israel:
他们是同着所罗巴伯、耶书亚、尼希米、亚撒利雅、拉米、拿哈玛尼、末底改、必珊、米斯毗列、比革瓦伊、尼宏、巴拿回来的。

尼8:15
and that they should proclaim this word and spread it throughout their towns and in Jerusalem: "Go out into the hill country and bring back branches from olive and wild olive trees, and from myrtles, palms and shade trees, to make booths"--as it is written.
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。”
尼8:16
So the people went out and brought back branches and built themselves booths on their own roofs, in their courtyards, in the courts of the house of God and in the square by the Water Gate and the one by the Gate of Ephraim.
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。

The whole company that had returned from exile built booths and lived in them. From the days of Joshua son of Nun until that day, the Israelites had not celebrated it like this. And their joy was very great.
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。

You divided the sea before them, so that they passed through it on dry ground, but you hurled their pursuers into the depths, like a stone into mighty waters.
你又在我们列祖面前把海分开，使他们在海中行走干地，将追赶他们的人抛在深海，如石头抛在大水中。
尼9:12
By day you led them with a pillar of cloud, and by night with a pillar of fire to give them light on the way they were to take.

In their hunger you gave them bread from heaven and in their thirst you brought them water from the rock; you told them to go in and take possession of the land you had sworn with uplifted hand to give them.
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。
尼9:16
"But they, our forefathers, became arrogant and stiff-necked, and did not obey your commands.
但我们的列祖行事狂傲，硬着颈项不听从你的诫命；
尼9:17
They refused to listen and failed to remember the miracles you performed among them. They became stiff-necked and in their rebellion appointed a leader in order to return to their slavery. But you are a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love. Therefore you did not desert them,
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。
尼9:18
even when they cast for themselves an image of a calf and said, 'This is your god, who brought you up out of Egypt,' or when they committed awful blasphemies.
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；
尼9:19
"Because of your great compassion you did not abandon them in the desert. By day the pillar of cloud did not cease to guide them on their path, nor the pillar of fire by night to shine on the way they were to take.
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。
尼9:20
You gave your good Spirit to instruct them. You did not withhold your manna from their mouths, and you gave them water for their thirst.
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。
尼9:21
For forty years you sustained them in the desert; they lacked nothing, their clothes did not wear out nor did their feet become swollen.
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。
尼9:22
"You gave them kingdoms and nations, allotting to them even the remotest frontiers. They took over the country of Sihon king of Heshbon and the country of Og king of Bashan.
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。
尼9:23
You made their sons as numerous as the stars in the sky, and you brought them into the land that you told their fathers to enter and possess.
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。
尼9:24
Their sons went in and took possession of the land. You subdued before them the Canaanites, who lived in the land; you handed the Canaanites over to them, along with their kings and the peoples of the land, to deal with them as they pleased.
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。
尼9:25
They captured fortified cities and fertile land; they took possession of houses filled with all kinds of good things, wells already dug, vineyards, olive groves and fruit trees in abundance. They ate to the full and were well-nourished; they reveled in your great goodness.
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。
尼9:26
"But they were disobedient and rebelled against you; they put your law behind their backs. They killed your prophets, who had admonished them in order to turn them back to you; they committed awful blasphemies.
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。
尼9:27
So you handed them over to their enemies, who oppressed them. But when they were oppressed they cried out to you. From heaven you heard them, and in your great compassion you gave them deliverers, who rescued them from the hand of their enemies.
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。
尼9:28
"But as soon as they were at rest, they again did what was evil in your sight. Then you abandoned them to the hand of their enemies so that they ruled over them. And when they cried out to you again, you heard from heaven, and in your compassion you delivered them time after time.
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。
尼9:29
"You warned them to return to your law, but they became arrogant and disobeyed your commands. They sinned against your ordinances, by which a man will live if he obeys them. Stubbornly they turned their backs on you, became stiff-necked and refused to listen.
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。
尼9:30
For many years you were patient with them. By your Spirit you admonished them through your prophets. Yet they paid no attention, so you handed them over to the neighboring peoples.
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。
尼9:31
But in your great mercy you did not put an end to them or abandon them, for you are a gracious and merciful God.
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。
尼9:32
"Now therefore, O our God, the great, mighty and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love, do not let all this hardship seem trifling in your eyes--the hardship that has come upon us, upon our kings and leaders, upon our priests and prophets, upon our fathers and all your people, from the days of the kings of Assyria until today.
我们的 神啊，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。
尼9:33
In all that has happened to us, you have been just; you have acted faithfully, while we did wrong.
在一切临到我们的事上，你却是公义的；因你所行的是诚实，我们所作的是邪恶。
尼9:34
Our kings, our leaders, our priests and our fathers did not follow your law; they did not pay attention to your commands or the warnings you gave them.
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。
尼9:35
Even while they were in their kingdom, enjoying your great goodness to them in the spacious and fertile land you gave them, they did not serve you or turn from their evil ways.
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。
尼9:36
"But see, we are slaves today, slaves in the land you gave our forefathers so they could eat its fruit and the other good things it produces.
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！
尼9:37
Because of our sins, its abundant harvest goes to the kings you have placed over us. They rule over our bodies and our cattle as they please. We are in great distress.
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。”

Once or twice the merchants and sellers of all kinds of goods spent the night outside Jerusalem.
于是商人和贩卖各样货物的，一两次住宿在耶路撒冷城外。

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。
尼13:26
Was it not because of marriages like these that Solomon king of Israel sinned? Among the many nations there was no king like him. He was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel, but even he was led into sin by foreign women.
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。
