Nehemiah Sent to Jerusalem 1Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν μηνὶ Νισὰν ἔτους εἰκοστοῦ Ἀρσαθερθὰ βασιλεῖ καὶ ἦν οἶνος ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἔλαβον τὸν οἶνον καὶ ἔδωκα τῷ βασιλεῖ, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἕτερος ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, 2καὶ εἶπέν μοι ὁ βασιλεύς Διὰ τί τὸ πρόσωπόν σου πονηρόν, καὶ οὐκ εἶ μετριάζων; οὐκ ἔστιν τοῦτο εἰ μὴ πονηρία καρδίας. καὶ ἐφοβήθην πολὺ σφόδρα, 3καὶ εἶπα τῷ βασιλεῖ Ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ζήτω. διὰ τί οὐ μὴ γένηται πονηρὸν τὸ πρόσωπόν μου, διότι ἡ πόλις, οἶκος μνημείων πατέρων μου, ἠρημώθη καὶ αἱ πύλαι αὐτῆς κατεβρώθησαν ἐν πυρί; 4καὶ εἶπέν μοι ὁ βασιλεύς Περὶ τίνος τοῦτο συνζητεῖς; καὶ προσηυξάμην πρὸς τὸν θεὸν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, 5καὶ εἶπα τῷ βασιλεῖ Εἰ ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα ἀγαθόν, καὶ εἰ ἀγαθυνθήσεται ὁ παῖς σου ἐνώπιόν σου ὥστε πέμψαι αὐτὸν εἰς Ἰουδά, εἰς πόλιν μνημείων πατέρων μου, καὶ ἀνοικοδομήσω αὐτήν. 6καὶ εἶπέν μοι ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ ἡ παλλακὴ ἡ καθημένη ἐχόμενα αὐτοῦ Ἕως πότε ἔσται ἡ πορεία σου, καὶ πότε ἐπιστρέψεις; καὶ ἠγαθύνθη ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἀπέστειλέν με, καὶ ἔδωκα αὐτῷ ὅρον. 7καὶ εἶπα τῷ βασιλεῖ Εἰ ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα ἀγαθόν, ἐπιστολὰς δότω μοι πρὸς τοὺς ἐπάρχους πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ, ὥστε παραγαγεῖν με ἕως ἔλθω ἐπὶ Ἰουδά, 8καὶ ἐπιστολὴν ἐπὶ Ἀσὰφ φύλακα τοῦ παραδείσου ὅς ἐστιν τῷ βασιλεῖ, ὥστε δοῦναί μοι ξύλα στεγάσαι τὰς πύλας καὶ εἰς τὸ τεῖχος τῆς πόλεως καὶ εἰς οἶκον ὃν εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς αὐτόν. καὶ ἔδωκέν μοι ὁ βασιλεύς, ὡς χεὶρ θεοῦ ἡ ἀγαθή. 9Καὶ ἦλθον πρὸς τοὺς ἐπάρχους πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ, καὶ ἔδωκα αὐτοῖς τὰς ἐπιστολὰς τοῦ βασιλέως· καὶ ἀπέστειλεν μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἀρχηγοὺς δυνάμεως καὶ ἱππεῖς. 10καὶ ἤκουσεν Σαναβαλλὰτ Ἁρωνεί, καὶ πονηρὸν αὐτοῖς ἐγένετο ὅτι ἥκει ἄνθρωπος ζητῆσαι ἀγαθὸν τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ. Nehemiah Inspects the Walls 11καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἤμην ἐκεῖ ἡμέρας τρεῖς. 12καὶ ἀνέστην νυκτὸς ἐγὼ καὶ ἄνδρες ὀλίγοι μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἀπήγγειλα ἀνθρώπῳ τί ὁ θεὸς δίδωσιν εἰς καρδίαν μου τοῦ ποιῆσαι μετὰ τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ κτῆνος οὐκ ἔστιν μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ εἰ μὴ τὸ κτῆνος ᾧ ἐγὼ ἐπιβαίνω ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ. 13καὶ ἐξῆλθον ἐν πύλῃ τοῦ γωληλὰ καὶ πρὸς στόμα πηγῆς τῶν συκῶν καὶ εἰς πύλην τῆς κοπρίας· καὶ ἤμην συντρίβων ἐν τῷ τείχει Ἰερουσαλὴμ ὃ αὐτοὶ καθαιροῦσιν, καὶ πύλαι αὐτῆς κατεβρώθησαν πυρί. 14καὶ παρῆλθον ἐπὶ πύλην τοῦ Αἰνὰ καὶ εἰς κολυμβήθραν τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ οὐκ ἦν τόπος τῷ κτήνει παρελθεῖν ὑποκάτω μου. 15καὶ ἤμην ἀναβαίνων ἐν τῷ τείχει χειμάρρους νυκτός, καὶ ἤμην συντρίβων ἐν τῷ τείχει· καὶ ἤμην ἐν πύλῃ τῆς φάραγγος, καὶ ἐπέστρεψα. 16καὶ οἱ φυλάσσοντες οὐκ ἔγνωσαν τί ἐπορεύθην καὶ τί ἐγὼ ποιῶ· καὶ τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις καὶ τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν καὶ τοῖς ἐντίμοις καὶ τοῖς καταλοίποις τοῖς ποιοῦσιν τὰ ἔργα ἕως τότε οὐκ ἀπήγγειλα. 17καὶ εἶπα πρὸς αὐτούς Ὑμεῖς βλέπετε τὴν πονηρίαν ἐν ᾗ ἐσμεν ἐν αὐτῇ, πῶς Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἔρημος καὶ αἱ πύλαι αὐτῆς ἐδόθησαν πυρί· δεῦτε καὶ διοικοδομήσωμεν τὸ τεῖχος Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ οὐκ ἐσόμεθα ἔτι ὄνειδος.
18καὶ ἀπήγγειλα αὐτοῖς τὴν χεῖρα τοῦ θεοῦ ἥ ἐστιν ἀγαθὴ ἐπ᾽ ἐμέ, καὶ πρὸς λόγους τοῦ βασιλέως οὓς εἶπέν μοι· καὶ εἶπα Ἀναστῶμεν καὶ οἰκοδομήσωμεν. καὶ ἐκραταιώθησαν αἱ χεῖρες αὐτῶν εἰς ἀγαθόν.
19καὶ ἤκουσεν Σαναβαλλὰτ ὁ Ἁρωνεὶ καὶ Τωβιὰ ὁ δοῦλος Ἀμμωνεὶ καὶ Γῆσαμ ὁ Ἀραβεί, καὶ ἐξεγέλασαν ἡμᾶς, καὶ ἦλθον ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς καὶ εἶπαν Τί τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε; ἢ ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα ὑμεῖς ἀποστατεῖτε;
20καὶ ἐπέστρεψα αὐτοῖς λόγον καὶ εἶπα αὐτοῖς Ὁ θεὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, αὐτὸς εὐοδώσει ἡμᾶς, καὶ ἡμεῖς δοῦλοι αὐτοῦ καθαροί, καὶ οἰκοδομήσωμεν· καὶ ὑμῖν οὐκ ἔστιν μερὶς καὶ δικαιοσύνη καὶ μνημόσυνον ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ.
