All these had taken strange wives: and some of them had wives by whom they had children。

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 mandments:
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 mandments; nor the statutes; nor the judgments; which thou mandedst 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 mandedst 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 mandments; 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。

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 e 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 e 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: e; 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。

3:1那时,大祭司以利亚实,和他的弟兄众祭司,起来建立羊门,分别为圣,安立门扇。又筑城墙到哈米亚楼,直到哈楠业楼,分别为圣。
Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests; and they builded the sheep gate; they sanctified it; and set up the doors of it; even unto the tower of Meah they sanctified it; unto the tower of Hananeel。
3:2其次是耶利哥人建造。其次是音利的儿子撒刻建造。
And next unto him builded the men of Jericho。 And next to them builded Zaccu
