< Nehemiah 2 >
1 And it was - in [the] month of Nisan year twenty of Artaxerxes the king wine [was] before him and I took the wine and I gave [it]! to the king and not I had been sad before him.
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。
2 And he said to me the king why? - [is] face your sad and you not you [are] sick [is] nothing this that except sadness of heart and I was afraid greatly very.
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。
3 And I said to the king the king for ever may he live why? not will they be sad face my that the city [the] house of [the] tombs of ancestors my [is] desolate and gates its they have been consumed 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?”
4 And he said to me the king on what? this [are] you requesting and I prayed to [the] God of the heavens.
王问我说:“你要求什么?”于是我默祷天上的 神。
5 And I said to the king if [is] on the king good and if he is good servant your before you that you will send me to Judah to [the] city of [the] tombs of ancestors my and I will 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。”
6 And he said to me the king and the queen-consort - [was] sitting beside him until when? will it be journey your and when? will you return and it was good before the king and he sent me and I gave! to him 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。
7 And I said to the king if [is] on the king good letters let people give to me to [the] governors of beyond the River that they will allow to pass through me until that I will come to 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;
8 And a letter to Asaph [the] keeper of the forest which [belongs] to the king that he will give to me wood to make beams for [the] gates of the citadel which [belongs] to the house and for [the] wall of the city and for the house which I will go into it and he gave [them] to me the king according to [the] hand of God my good on me.
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。
9 And I went to [the] governors of beyond the River and I gave! to them [the] letters of the king and he had sent with me the king commanders of [the] army and horsemen.
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。
10 And he heard Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the servant the Ammonite and it was displeasing to them displeasure great that he had come someone to seek good for [the] people of Israel.
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。
11 And I came to Jerusalem and I was there days three.
我到了耶路撒冷,在那里住了三日。
12 And I arose - night I and men - a few with me and not I had told to anyone what? [was] God my putting into heart my to do for Jerusalem and an animal there not [was] with me that except the animal which I [was] riding on it.
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。
13 And I went out! by [the] gate of the valley night and to [the] face [the] Spring of [the] Dragons and to [the] gate of the dung and I was examining [the] walls of Jerusalem which (they - [were] broken down *Q(K)*) and gates its they had been consumed by fire.
当夜我出了谷门,往野狗井去,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。
14 And I passed on to [the] gate of the spring and to [the] pool of the king and there not [was] room for the animal to pass through under me.
我又往前,到了泉门和王池,但所骑的牲口没有地方过去。
15 And I was going up in the wadi night and I was examining the wall and I turned back and I went in [the] gate of the valley and I returned.
于是夜间沿溪而上,察看城墙,又转身进入谷门,就回来了。
16 And the officials not they knew where? had I gone and what? [was] I doing and to the Jews and to the priests and to the nobles and to the officials and to [the] rest [who was] doing the work until thus not I had told.
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。
17 And I said to them you [are] seeing the trouble which we [are] in it that Jerusalem [is] desolate and gates its they have been burned with fire come so we may rebuild [the] wall of Jerusalem and not we will be again a reproach.
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!”
18 And I told to them [about] [the] hand of God my that it [was] good on me and also [the] words of the king which he had spoken to me and they said let us arise and we will rebuild and they strengthened hands their for good.
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。
19 And he heard Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah - the servant the Ammonite and Geshem the Arab and they mocked us and they despised us and they said what? [is] the thing this which you [are] doing ¿ on the king [are] you rebelling.
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?”
20 And I brought back them word and I said to them [the] God of the heavens he he will grant success to us and we servants his we will arise and we will rebuild and [belongs] to you not a share and a right and a memorial in Jerusalem.
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。”
