Nehemiah 4:4
繁體中文
Originale inglese
The parenthetical prayers of Nehemiah form one of the most striking characteristics of his history. Here we have the first. Other examples are Nehemiah 5:19; Nehemiah 6:9, Nehemiah 6:14; Nehemiah 13:14, Nehemiah 13:22, Nehemiah 13:29, Nehemiah 13:31.
6
Nehemiah 4:6
繁體中文
直到一半——即達到預定高度的一半。
Originale inglese
Unto the half thereof - i. e. to half the intended height.
7
Nehemiah 4:7
繁體中文
亞拉伯人……——大概是一夥主要由亞拉伯人、亞捫人和亞實突人組成的人，是參巴拉蓄養的私人衛隊，也是「撒瑪利亞的軍隊」（Nehemiah 4:2）的一部分。這樣一夥人與耶路撒冷居民之間的爭執，波斯王可能不會過問。
Originale inglese
The Arabians ... - Probably a band, composed largely of Arabians, Ammonites, and Ashdodites, which Sanballat maintained as a guard to his person, and which formed a portion of "the army of Samaria" Nehemiah 4:2. A quarrel between such a band and the people of Jerusalem might be overlooked by the Persian king.
9
Nehemiah 4:9
繁體中文
因為他們的緣故——或作「在他們對面」，即與他們紮營之處相對的地方，大概是在城的北面。
Originale inglese
Because of them - Or, "over against them," i. e. opposite to the place where they were encamped, probably on the north side of the city.
12
Nehemiah 4:12
繁體中文
十次——即屢次。
「從各處……」——邊註的譯法較好。住在撒瑪利亞邊境一帶的猶太人來到耶路撒冷，向工人陳明臨近的危險，說「你們必須回自己的家去，藉以避禍」，想把屬他們的那批工人從工程中撤走。
Originale inglese
Ten times - i. e. repeatedly.
From all places ... - Better as in the margin. The Jews who dwelt on the Samaritan border, came to Jerusalem and tried to withdraw their contingents of workmen from the work, representing to them the impending danger, and saying, "You must return to your homes, and so escape it."
13
Nehemiah 4:13
繁體中文
低窪之處——指城牆之內地勢上最佔劣勢的地方，即天然薄弱、敵人最可能發動攻擊的地點。
Originale inglese
The lower places - The places where those within the walls had the least advantage of elevation, the naturally weak places, where an enemy was likely to make his attack.

Originale inglese
Habergeons - Or, "coats of mail." Coats of mail were common in Assyria from the ninth century B.C., and in Egypt even earlier. They were made of thin laminae of bronze or iron, sewn upon leather or linen, and overlapping one another.

Originale inglese
Let every one ... lodge within Jerusalem - i. e. Let none return to his own village or city at night, but let all take their rest in Jerusalem."

Originale inglese
Saving ... - The text here is probably unsound. It yields no satisfactory sense. See the margin.
尼希米這些插入的禱文，構成他的歷史記述最顯著的特色之一。這裏是頭一例。其他的例子有 Nehemiah 5:19；Nehemiah 6:9、Nehemiah 6:14；Nehemiah 13:14、Nehemiah 13:22、Nehemiah 13:29、Nehemiah 13:31。
