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,
Словеса Неемии сына Ахалиина. И бысть в месяце Хаселев, двадесятаго лета, и аз бех в Сусан-Авире.
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;
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 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.”
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 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.
И бысть егда услышах словеса сия, седох и плаках и рыдах дни (многи), и бех постяся и моляся пред лицем Бога небеснаго,
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,
и рекох: молю Тя, Господи Боже небесный, крепкий, великий и страшный, храняй завет и милосердие любящым Тя и хранящым заповеди Твоя:
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;
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 acted very corruptly against You, and have not kept the commands, and the statutes, and the judgments, that You commanded Your servant Moses.
преступлением преступихом Тебе и не сохранихом заповедий (твоих) и повелений и судеб, яже повелел еси Моисею рабу Твоему:
8 Please remember the word that You commanded Your servant Moses, saying, You trespass—I scatter you among peoples;
помяни убо слово, еже заповедал еси Моисею рабу Твоему глаголя: аще преступите вы, Аз расточу вы в люди,
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.
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 And they [are] Your servants, and Your people, whom You have ransomed 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 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.
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.
