Nehemija 1

1 Besede Nehemija, Hahaljájevega sina. Pripetilo se je v mesecu kislévu, v dvajsetem letu, medtem ko sem bil v palači Suze,

[the] words of Nehemiah [the] son of Hacaliah and it was in [the] month of (Kislev *Q(k)*) year twenty and I I was in Susa the citadel.

2 da je prišel Hananí, eden izmed mojih bratov, on in nekateri možje iz Juda. Vprašal sem jih glede Judov, ki so pobegnili, ki so preostali od ujetništva in glede Jeruzalema.

And he came Hanani one of brothers my he and people from Judah and I asked them about the Jews the escaped remnant who they had survived from the captivity and on Jerusalem.

3 Rekli so mi: »Ostanek, ki je ostal od ujetništva, tam v provinci, je v veliki stiski in graji. Prav tako je porušeno jeruzalemsko obzidje in njegova velika vrata so požgana z ognjem.«

And they said to me the survivors who they have survived from the captivity there in the province [are] in trouble great and in disgrace and [the] wall of Jerusalem [has been] broken down and gates its they have been burned with fire.

4 In pripetilo se je, ko sem slišal te besede, da sem se usedel, jokal in žaloval določene dni in se postil ter molil pred Bogom nebes

And it was when heard I - the words these I sat down and I wept and I mourned! days and I was fasting and praying before [the] God of the heavens.

5 in rekel: »Rotim te, oh Gospod Bog nebes, veliki in strašni Bog, ki ohranja zavezo in usmiljenje za tiste, ki ga ljubijo in obeležujejo njegove zapovedi.

And I said I beg you O Yahweh [the] God of the heavens the God great and awesome [who] keeps the covenant and covenant loyalty to [those who] love him and to [those who] keep commandments his.

6 Naj bo tvoje uho sedaj pozorno in tvoje oči odprte, da boš lahko slišal molitev svojega služabnika, ki jo sedaj molim pred teboj podnevi in ponoči zaradi tvojih služabnikov, Izraelovih otrok in priznavam grehe Izraelovih otrok, ki smo jih zagrešili zoper tebe. Tako jaz, kakor hiša mojega očeta smo grešili.

May it be please ear your attentive and eyes your open to listen to [the] prayer of servant your which I [am] praying before you this day by day and night on [the] people of Israel servants your and [am] confessing on [the] sins of [the] people of Israel which we have sinned to you and I and [the] house of father my we have sinned.

7 Zoper tebe smo postopali zelo izprijeno in se nismo držali zapovedi niti zakonov niti sodb, ki si jih zapovedal svojemu služabniku Mojzesu.

Surely we have acted corruptly to you and not we have kept the commandments and the statutes and the judgments which you commanded Moses servant your.

8 Spomni se, rotim te, besede, ki jo zapoveduješ svojemu služabniku Mojzesu, rekoč: › Če grešite, vas bom razkropil na tuje, med narode.

Remember please the word which you commanded Moses servant your saying you you will act unfaithfully I I will scatter you among the peoples.

9 Toda če se obrnete k meni in se držite mojih zapovedi in jih izpolnjujete, čeprav bi bili izmed vas vrženi v najbolj oddaljen del neba, jih bom vendar zbral od tam in jih privedel na kraj, ki sem ga izbral, da tam postavim svoje ime.‹

And you will turn back to me and you will keep commandments my and you will observe them if it will be banished [one] your at [the] end of the heavens from there I will gather them (and I will bring them *Q(k)*) to the place where I have chosen to cause to dwell name my there.

10 Torej ti so tvoji služabniki in tvoje ljudstvo, ki si jih odkupil s svojo veliko oblastjo in s svojo močno roko.

And they [are] servants your and people your whom you redeemed by strength your great and by hand your mighty.

11 Oh Gospod, rotim te, naj bo sedaj tvoje uho pozorno k molitvi tvojega služabnika in k molitvi tvojih služabnikov, ki se želijo bati tvojega imena. Prosim te, naredi svojega služabnika ta dan uspešnega in zagotovi mu usmiljenje pred očmi tega človeka.« Kajti bil sem kraljevi dvorni točaj.

I beg you O Lord may it be please ear your attentive to [the] prayer of servant your and to [the] prayer of servants your delighting to fear name your and grant success! please to servant your this day and give him compassion before the man this and I I was cup bearer of the king.
