Nehemiah 1
1 Words of Nehemiah son of Hachaliah. And it comes to pass, in the month of Chisleu, the twentieth year, and I have been in Shushan the palace,
Šie ir Nehemijas, Hakalijas dēla, stāsti. Un notikās Kisleva mēnesī, divdesmitā gadā, kad es biju Sūsanas pilī,
2 and Hanani, one of my brothers, he and men of Judah come in, and I ask them concerning the Jews, the escaped part that have been left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem;
Tad nāca Hanans, viens no maniem brāļiem, līdz ar citiem Jūda vīriem. Un es tos vaicāju par tiem atlaistiem Jūdiem, kas bija atlikuši no cietuma, un par Jeruzālemi.
3 and they say to me, “Those left, who have been left of the captivity there in the province, [are] in great evil, and in reproach, and the wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.”
Un tie uz mani sacīja: tie atlikušie, kas no cietuma tur tai valstī ir atlikuši, tie ir lielā nelaimē un kaunā, un Jeruzālemes mūris ir nolauzīts un viņas vārti ar uguni sadedzināti.
4 And it comes to pass, at my hearing these words, I have sat down, and I weep and mourn [for] days, and I am fasting and praying before the God of the heavens.
Un kad es šos vārdus dzirdēju, tad es apsēdos un raudāju un biju noskumis kādas dienas un gavēju un lūdzu priekš debesu Dieva vaiga
5 And I say, “Ah, now, O YHWH, God of the heavens, God, the great and the fearful, keeping the covenant and kindness for those loving Him, and for those keeping His commands,
Un sacīju: Ak Kungs, Tu debesu Dievs, Tu lielais un bijājamais Dievs, kas derību un žēlastību turi tiem, kas Tevi mīļo un Tavus baušļus sargā,
6 please let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open, to listen to the prayer of Your servant, that I am praying before You today, by day and by night, concerning the sons of Israel, Your servants, and confessing concerning the sins of the sons of Israel, that we have sinned against You; indeed, I and the house of my father have sinned;
Lai Tavas ausis jel uzklausa un Tavas acis ir atvērtas, klausīt Tava kalpa lūgšanu, ko es tagad lūdzu Tavā priekšā dienās un naktīs, par Israēla bērniem, Taviem kalpiem, un izsūdzu Israēla bērnu grēkus, ko tie pret Tevi grēkojuši; arī es, un mana tēva nams esam grēkojuši.
7 we have acted very corruptly against You, and have not kept the commands, and the statutes, and the judgments, that You commanded Your servant Moses.
Mēs Tavā priekšā ļoti esam samaitājušies un neesam turējuši tos baušļus nedz tos likumus nedz tās tiesas, ko Tu Savam kalpam Mozum esi pavēlējis.
8 Please remember the word that You commanded Your servant Moses, saying, You trespass—I scatter you among peoples;
Piemini jel to vārdu, ko Tu Savam kalpam Mozum esi pavēlējis sacīdams: ja jūs apgrēkosities, tad Es jūs izklīdināšu pa tām tautām.
9 and you have turned back to Me, and kept My commands, and done them—if your outcast is in the end of the heavens, there I gather them, and have brought them to the place that I have chosen to cause My Name to dwell there.
Ja tad jūs atgriezīsieties pie Manis un turēsiet Manus baušļus un tos darīsiet, jebšu tad jūsu aizdzītie būtu debess galā, tomēr Es tos no turienes salasīšu un atvedīšu uz to vietu, ko esmu izredzējis, lai Mans vārds tur mājo.
10 And they [are] Your servants, and Your people, whom You have ransomed by Your great power, and by Your strong hand.
Tie jau ir Tavi kalpi un Tavi ļaudis, ko Tu esi izpestījis ar Savu lielo spēku un ar Savu stipro roku.
11 Ah, now, O Lord, please let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your servants, those delighting to fear Your Name; and please give prosperity to Your servant today, and give him for mercies before this man”; and I have been butler to the king.
Ak Kungs, lai jel Tavas ausis uzklausa uz Tava kalpa lūgšanu un uz Tavu kalpu lūgšanu, kam gribās Tavu vārdu bīties, un lai jel šodien Tavam kalpam labi izdodas, un dod viņam apžēlošanu šā vīra(ķēniņa) priekšā. Bet es biju ķēniņa dzēriena devējs.
