| 1 | The words of Nehemias the son of Helchias. And it came to pass in the month of Casleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in the castle of Susa, | Verba Nehemiae filii Helchiae. Et factum est in mense Casleu, anno vigesimo, et ego eram in Susis castro. | ΛΟΓΟΙ Νεεμία υἱοῦ Χελκία. Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν μηνὶ Χασελεῦ ἔτους εἰκοστοῦ, καὶ ἐγὼ ἤμηνν ἐν Σουσὰν ἀβιρά· |
| 2 | That Hanani one of my brethren came, he and some men of Juda; and I asked them concerning the Jews, that remained and were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. | Et venit Hanani, unus de fratribus meis, ipse et viri ex Iuda: et interrogavi eos de Iudaeis qui remanserant, et supererant de captivitate, et Ierusalem. | καὶ ἦλθεν Ἀνανὶ εἷς ἀπὸ ἀδελφῶν μου, αὐτὸς καὶ ἄνδρες Ἰούδα· καὶ ἠρώτησα αὐτοὺς περὶ τῶν σωθέντων, οἳ κατελείθησαν ἀπὸ τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας, καὶ περὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ. |
| 3 | And they said to me: They that have remained, and are left of the captivity there in the province, are in great affliction, and reproach: and the wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and the gates thereof are burnt with fire. | Et dixerunt mihi: Qui remanserunt, et relicti sunt de captivitate ibi in provincia, in afflictione magna sunt, et in opprobrio: et murus Ierusalem dissipatus est, et portae eius combustae sunt igni. | Καὶ εἴποσαν πρὸς μέ, Οἱ καταλειπόμενοι οἱ καταλειφθέντες ἀπὸ τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας ἐκεῖ ἐν τῇ χώρᾳ, ἐν πονηρίᾳ μεγάλῃ καὶ ἐν ὀνειδισμῷ, καὶ τείχη Ἱερουσαλὴμ καθῃρημένα, καὶ αἱ πύλαι αὐτῆς ἐνεπρήσθησαν ἐν πυρί. |
| 4 | And when I had heard these words, I sat down, and wept, and mourned for many days: and I fasted, and prayed before the face of the God of heaven. | Cumque audissem verba huiuscemodi, sedi, et flevi, et luxi diebus multis: ieiunabam, et orabam ante faciem Dei caeli: | Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαί με τοὺς λόγους τούτους, ἐκάθισα καὶ ἔκλαυσα καὶ ἐπένθησα ἡμέρας, καὶ ἤμην νηστεύων καὶ προσευχόμενος ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ. |
| 5 | And I said: I beseech thee, O Lord God of heaven, strong, great, and terrible, who keepest covenant and mercy with those that love thee, and keep thy commandments: | et dixi: Quaeso, Domine Deus caeli fortis, magne atque terribilis, qui custodis pactum et misericordiam cum his qui te diligunt, et custodiunt mandata tua: | Καὶ εἶπα, μὴ δὴ Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ὁ ἰσχυρὸς, ὁ μέγας καὶ φοβερὸς, φυλάσσων τὴν διαθήκην καὶ τὸ ἔλεός σου τοῖς ἀγαπῶσιν αὐτὸν καὶ τοῖς φυλάσσουσι τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ· |
| 6 | Let thy ears be attentive, and thy eyes open, to hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, night and day, for the children of Israel thy servants: and I confess the sins of the children of Israel, by which they have sinned against thee: I and my father’s house have sinned. | fiant aures tuae auscultantes, et oculi tui aperti, ut audias orationem servi tui, quam ego oro coram te hodie nocte et die pro filiis Israël servis tuis: et confiteor pro peccatis filiorum Israël, quibus peccaverunt tibi: ego et domus patris mei peccavimus, | Ἔστω δὴ τὸ οὖς σου προσέχον, καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου ἀνεῳγμένοι, τοῦ ἀκοῦσαι προσευχὴν τοῦ δούλου σου, ἣν ἐγὼ προσεύχομαι ἐνώπιόν σου σήμερον ἡμέραν καὶ νύκτα περὶ υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ δούλων σου· καὶ ἐξαγορεύω ἐπὶ ἁμαρτίαις υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ αἷς ἡμάρτομέν σοι· καὶ ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ οἶκος πατρός μου ἡμάρτομεν. |
| 7 | We have been seduced by vanity, and have not kept thy commandments, and ceremonies and judgments, which thou hast commanded thy servant Moses. | vanitate seducti sumus, et non custodivimus mandatum tuum, et caeremonias, et iudicia quae praecepisti Moysi famulo tuo. | Διαλύσει διελύσαμεν πρὸς σὲ, καὶ οὐκ ἐφυλάξαμεν τὰς ἐντολὰς καὶ τὰ προστάγματα καὶ τὰ κρίματα, ἃ ἐνετείλω τῷ Μωυσῇ παιδί σου. |
| 8 | Remember the word that thou commandedst to Moses thy servant, saying: If you shall transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations: | Memento verbi quod mandasti Moysi servo tuo, dicens: Cum transgressi fueritis, ego dispergam vos in populos: | Μνήσθητι δὴ τὸν λόγον ὃν ἐνετείλω τῷ Μωυσῇ παιδί σου, λέγων, ὑμεῖς ἐὰν ἀσυνθετήσητε, ἐγὼ διασκορπιῶ ὑμᾶς ἐν τοῖς λαοῖς· |
| 9 | But if you return to me, and keep my commandments, and do them, though you should be led away to the uttermost parts of the world, I will gather you from thence, and bring you back to the place which I have chosen for my name to dwell there. | et si revertamini ad me, et custodiatis praecepta mea, et faciatis ea: etiamsi abducti fueritis ad extrema caeli, inde congregabo vos, et reducam in locum quem elegi ut habitaret nomen meum ibi. | καὶ ἐὰν ἐπιστρέψητε πρὸς μὲ, καὶ φυλάξητε τὰς ἐντολάς μου, καὶ ποιήσητε αὐτὰς, ἐὰν ᾖ ἡ διασπορὰ ὑμῶν ἀπʼ ἄκρου τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ἐκεῖθεν συνάξω αὐτοὺς, καὶ εἰσάξω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν τόπον, ὃν ἐξελεξάμην κατασκηνῶσαι τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ. |
| 10 | And these are thy servants, and thy people: whom thou hast redeemed by thy great strength, and by thy mighty hand. | Et ipsi servi tui, et populus tuus, quos redemisti in fortitudine tua magna, et in manu tua valida. | Καὶ αὐτοὶ παῖδές σου καὶ λαός σου, οὓς ἐλυτρώσω ἐν τῇ δυνάμει σου τῇ μεγάλῃ, καὶ ἐν τῇ χειρί σου τῇ κραταιᾷ. |
| 11 | I beseech thee, O Lord, let thy ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants who desire to fear thy name: and direct thy servant this day, and give him mercy before this man. For I was the king’s cupbearer. | Obsecro, Domine, sit auris tua attendens ad orationem servi tui, et ad orationem servorum tuorum, qui volunt timere nomen tuum: et dirige servum tuum hodie, et da ei misericordiam ante virum hunc. Ego enim eram pincerna regis. | Μὴ δὴ Κύριε, ἀλλὰ ἔστω τὸ οὖς σου προσέχον εἰς τὴν προσευχὴν τοῦ δούλου σου, καὶ εἰς τὴν προσευχὴν παίδων σου τῶν θελόντων φοβεῖσθαι τὸ ὄνομά σου· καὶ εὐόδωσον δὴ τῷ παιδί σου σήμερον, καὶ δὸς αὐτὸν εἰς οἰκτιρμοὺς ἐνώπιον τοῦ ἀνδρὸς τούτου· καὶ ἐγὼ ἤμην οἰνοχόος τῷ βασιλεῖ. |
