Nehemiah 1
1 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,
Словеса Неемии сына Ахалиина. И бысть в месяце Хаселев, двадесятаго лета, и аз бех в Сусан-Авире.
2 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.
И прииде (ко мне) Ананиа един от братий моих с мужи Иудовы, и вопросих их о спасшихся, иже осташася от пленения, и о Иерусалиме.
3 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.
И рекоша ми: оставшиися от пленения тамо во стране, во озлоблении велице и в поношении, и стены Иерусалимския разорены, и врата его сожжена огнем.
4 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,
И бысть егда услышах словеса сия, седох и плаках и рыдах дни (многи), и бех постяся и моляся пред лицем Бога небеснаго,
5 And said, I plead to you, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keeps covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:
и рекох: молю Тя, Господи Боже небесный, крепкий, великий и страшный, храняй завет и милосердие любящым Тя и хранящым заповеди Твоя:
6 Let your ear now be attentive, and your eyes open, that you may hear the prayer of your servant, which I pray before you now, day and night, for the children of Israel your servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against you: both I and my father's house have sinned.
да будут уши Твои внемлюще и очи Твои отверсте, еже слышати молитву раба Твоего, еюже аз молюся пред Тобою днесь, день и нощь, о сынех Израилевых рабех Твоих: и исповедаюся о гресех сынов Израилевых, имиже согрешихом пред Тобою, и аз и дом отца моего согрешихом:
7 We have dealt very corruptly against you, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which you commandedst your servant Moses.
преступлением преступихом Тебе и не сохранихом заповедий (твоих) и повелений и судеб, яже повелел еси Моисею рабу Твоему:
8 Remember, I plead to you, the word that you commandedst your servant Moses, saying, If all of you transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:
помяни убо слово, еже заповедал еси Моисею рабу Твоему глаголя: аще преступите вы, Аз расточу вы в люди,
9 But if all of you 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.
и аще обратитеся ко Мне и сохраните заповеди Моя и сотворите я, аще будет разсеяние ваше до конца небесе, оттуду соберу вы и введу вы в место, еже избрах вселитися имени Моему тамо:
10 Now these are your servants and your people, whom you have redeemed by your great power, and by your strong hand.
и тии раби Твои и людие Твои, ихже искупил еси силою Твоей великою и рукою Твоею крепкою:
11 O LORD, I plead to you, let now 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 grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king's cupbearer.
молю, Господи, да будет ухо Твое внемлющее на молитву раба Твоего и на молитву рабов Твоих хотящих боятися имене Твоего: и благопоспеши убо рабу Твоему днесь, и даждь его в щедроты пред мужем сим. И аз бых виночерпчий царев.
