Nehemiah 1 глава

Nehemiah
New King James Version → Елизаветинская на русском

The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. It came to pass in the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan[a] the [b]citadel,

Словеса неемии сына ахалиина. И бысть в месяце хаселев, двадесятаго лета, и аз бех в сусан-авире.

that Hanani one of my brethren came with men from Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews who had escaped, who had survived 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.

And they said to me, “The survivors who are left from the captivity in the province are there in great distress and reproach. The wall of Jerusalem is also broken down, and its gates are 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.

So it was, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned for many days; I was fasting and praying before the God of heaven.

И бысть егда услышах словеса сия, седох и плаках и рыдах дни (многи), и бех постяся и моляся пред лицем Бога небеснаго,

And I said: “I pray, Lord God of heaven, O great and awesome God, You who keep Your covenant and mercy with those who love [c]You and observe [d]Your commandments,

и рекох: молю тя, Господи Боже небесный, крепкий, великий и страшный, храняй завет и милосердие любящым тя и хранящым заповеди твоя:

please let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You now, day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against You. Both my father’s house and I 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:

We have acted very corruptly against You, and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, nor the ordinances which You commanded Your servant Moses.

преступлением преступихом тебе и не сохранихом заповедий (твоих) и повелений и судеб, яже повелел еси моисею рабу твоему:

Remember, I pray, the word that You commanded Your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you [e]are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations;

помяни убо слово, еже заповедал еси моисею рабу твоему глаголя: аще преступите вы, аз расточу вы в люди,

but if you return to Me, and keep My commandments and do them, though some of you were cast out to the farthest part of the heavens, yet I will gather them from there, and bring them to the place which I have chosen as a dwelling for My name.’

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:

Now these are Your servants and Your people, whom You have redeemed 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:

O Lord, I pray, please let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your servants who desire to fear Your name; and let Your servant prosper this day, I pray, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.” For I was the king’s cupbearer.

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.
