LXXDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 και εν τω πρωτω ετει κυρου του βασιλεως περσων του τελεσθηναι λογον κυριου απο στοματος ιερεμιου εξηγειρεν κυριος το πνευμα κυρου βασιλεως περσων και παρηγγειλεν φωνην εν παση βασιλεια αυτου και γε εν γραπτω λεγων1 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,
2 ουτως ειπεν κυρος βασιλευς περσων πασας τας βασιλειας της γης εδωκεν μοι κυριος ο θεος του ουρανου και αυτος επεσκεψατο επ' εμε του οικοδομησαι αυτω οικον εν ιερουσαλημ τη εν τη ιουδαια2 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.
3 τις εν υμιν απο παντος του λαου αυτου και εσται ο θεος αυτου μετ' αυτου και αναβησεται εις ιερουσαλημ την εν τη ιουδαια και οικοδομησατω τον οικον θεου ισραηλ αυτος ο θεος ο εν ιερουσαλημ3 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.
4 και πας ο καταλειπομενος απο παντων των τοπων ου αυτος παροικει εκει και λημψονται αυτον ανδρες του τοπου αυτου εν αργυριω και χρυσιω και αποσκευη και κτηνεσιν μετα του εκουσιου εις οικον του θεου του εν ιερουσαλημ4 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.
5 και ανεστησαν αρχοντες των πατριων τω ιουδα και βενιαμιν και οι ιερεις και οι λευιται παντων ων εξηγειρεν ο θεος το πνευμα αυτων του αναβηναι οικοδομησαι τον οικον κυριου τον εν ιερουσαλημ5 And I said: WI beseech thee, 0 Lord God of heaven, strong, great, and terrible, who keepest covenant and mercy with those that love thee, and keep thy commandments :
6 και παντες οι κυκλοθεν ενισχυσαν εν χερσιν αυτων εν σκευεσιν αργυριου εν χρυσω εν αποσκευη και εν κτηνεσιν και εν ξενιοις παρεξ των εν εκουσιοις6 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.
7 και ο βασιλευς κυρος εξηνεγκεν τα σκευη οικου κυριου α ελαβεν ναβουχοδονοσορ απο ιερουσαλημ και εδωκεν αυτα εν οικω θεου αυτου7 We have been seduced by vanity, and have not kept thy commandments, and ceremonies and judgments, which thou hast commanded thy servant Moses.
8 και εξηνεγκεν αυτα κυρος βασιλευς περσων επι χειρα μιθραδατου γασβαρηνου και ηριθμησεν αυτα τω σασαβασαρ αρχοντι του ιουδα8 Remember the word that thou commandedst to Moses thy servant, saying: If you shall transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:
9 και ουτος ο αριθμος αυτων ψυκτηρες χρυσοι τριακοντα και ψυκτηρες αργυροι χιλιοι παρηλλαγμενα εννεα και εικοσι9 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.
10 κεφφουρη χρυσοι τριακοντα και αργυροι διακοσιοι και σκευη ετερα χιλια10 And these are thy servants, and thy people : whom thou hast redeemed by thy great strength, and by thy mighty hand.
11 παντα τα σκευη τω χρυσω και τω αργυρω πεντακισχιλια και τετρακοσια τα παντα αναβαινοντα μετα σασαβασαρ απο της αποικιας εκ βαβυλωνος εις ιερουσαλημ11 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.
