| 1:1 | The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace, |
| 1:2 | That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. |
| 1:3 | And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire. |
| 1:4 | And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven, |
| 1:5 | And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments: |
| 1:6 | Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned. |
| 1:7 | We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses. |
| 1:8 | Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations: |
| 1:9 | But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there. |
| 1:10 | Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand. |
| 1:11 | O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king's cupbearer. |
| 1:1 | דברי נחמיה בן חכליה ויהי בחדשׁ כסלו שׁנת עשׂרים ואני הייתי בשׁושׁן הבירה׃ |

| 1:4 | ויהי כשׁמעי את הדברים האלה ישׁבתי ואבכה ואתאבלה ימים ואהי צם ומתפלל לפני אלהי השׁמים׃ |
| 1:5 | ואמר אנא יהוה אלהי השׁמים האל הגדול והנורא שׁמר הברית וחסד לאהביו ולשׁמרי מצותיו׃ |

| 1:7 | חבל חבלנו לך ולא שׁמרנו את המצות ואת החקים ואת המשׁפטים אשׁר צוית את משׁה עבדך׃ |
| 1:8 | זכר נא את הדבר אשׁר צוית את משׁה עבדך לאמר אתם תמעלו אני אפיץ אתכם בעמים׃ |
| 1:9 | ושׁבתם אלי ושׁמרתם מצותי ועשׂיתם אתם אם יהיה נדחכם בקצה השׁמים משׁם אקבצם והבואתים אל המקום אשׁר בחרתי לשׁכן את שׁמי שׁם׃ |
| 1:10 | והם עבדיך ועמך אשׁר פדית בכחך הגדול ובידך החזקה׃ |
| 1:11 | אנא אדני תהי נא אזנך קשׁבת אל תפלת עבדך ואל תפלת עבדיך החפצים ליראה את שׁמך והצליחה נא לעבדך היום ותנהו לרחמים לפני האישׁ הזה ואני הייתי משׁקה למלך׃ |
| 1:1 | Words of Nehemiah son of Hachaliah. And it cometh to pass, in the month of Chisleu, the twentieth year, and I have been in Shushan the palace, |
| 1:2 | and come in doth Hanani, one of my brethren, he and men of Judah, and I ask them concerning the Jews, the escaped part that have been left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem; |
| 1:3 | 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 burnt with fire.' |
| 1:4 | And it cometh 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. |
| 1:5 | And I say, `I beseech thee, O Jehovah, 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, |
| 1:6 | let Thine ear be, I pray Thee, attentive, and Thine eyes open, to hearken unto the prayer of Thy servant, that I am praying before Thee to-day, by day and by night, concerning the sons of Israel Thy servants, and confessing concerning the sins of the sons of Israel, that we have sinned against Thee; yea, I and the house of my father have sinned; |
| 1:7 | we have acted very corruptly against Thee, and have not kept the commands, and the statutes, and the judgments, that Thou didst command Moses Thy servant. |
| 1:8 | `Remember, I pray Thee, the word that Thou didst command Moses Thy servant, saying, Ye -- ye trespass -- I scatter you among peoples; |
| 1:9 | and ye have turned back unto Me, and kept My commands, and done them -- if your outcast is in the end of the heavens, thence I gather them, and have brought them in unto the place that I have chosen to cause My name to tabernacle there. |
| 1:10 | And they `are' Thy servants, and Thy people, whom Thou hast ransomed by Thy great power, and by Thy strong hand. |
| 1:11 | `I beseech Thee, O Lord, let, I pray Thee, Thine ear be attentive unto the prayer of Thy servant, and unto the prayer of Thy servants, those delighting to fear Thy Name; and give prosperity, I pray Thee, to Thy servant to-day, and give him for mercies before this man;' and I have been butler to the king. |
