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,

2 and to come (in): come Hanani one from brother: compatriot my he/she/it and human from Judah and to ask them upon [the] Jew [the] survivor which to remain from [the] captivity and upon Jerusalem

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.

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 Elohim of heaven,

5 and to say Please! LORD God [the] heaven [the] God [the] great: large and [the] to fear: revere to keep: obey [the] covenant and kindness to/for to love: lover him and to/for to keep: obey commandment his

And said, I beseech thee, O YHWH Elohim of heaven, the great and awesome El, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:

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.

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

10 and they(masc.) servant/slave your and people your which to ransom in/on/with strength your [the] great: large and in/on/with hand: power your [the] strong

Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.
