Nehemiah Capítulo 4

Nehemiah 4:4
简体中文
Original em inglês
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
简体中文
直到一半——即达到预定高度的一半。
Original em inglês
Unto the half thereof - i. e. to half the intended height.
7
Nehemiah 4:7
简体中文
阿拉伯人……——大概是一伙主要由阿拉伯人、亚扪人和亚实突人组成的人马，为参巴拉蓄养作个人卫队，构成“撒玛利亚的军兵”（尼希米记 4:2）的一部分。这样一伙人与耶路撒冷百姓之间的冲突，波斯王可能会置之不问。
Original em inglês
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
简体中文
因他们的缘故——或作“在他们对面”，即与他们对阵之处，大概在城的北面。
Original em inglês
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
简体中文
十次——即屡次之意。
从各处……——旁注的译法更佳。住在撒玛利亚边境的犹太人来到耶路撒冷，向工人陈说迫在眉睫的危险，说“你们必须回家去，好躲避它”，试图把他们那批工人从工程中撤走。
Original em inglês
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
简体中文
低处——指城内的人在地势上最不占优势的地方，即天然薄弱、敌人最可能发动攻击之处。
Original em inglês
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.
16
Nehemiah 4:16
简体中文
铠甲——或作“锁子甲”。锁子甲自主前九世纪起在亚述已很常见，在埃及甚至更早。它由青铜或铁的小薄片缝在皮革或麻布上、彼此重叠而制成。
Original em inglês
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.
22
Nehemiah 4:22
简体中文
Ainda sem tradução.
Original em inglês
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."
23
Nehemiah 4:23
简体中文
Ainda sem tradução.
Original em inglês
Saving ... - The text here is probably unsound. It yields no satisfactory sense. See the margin.
尼希米穿插于叙述中的祷告，构成其历史记述最显著的特点之一。此处是第一例。其他的例子有尼希米记 5:19；尼希米记 6:9、尼希米记 6:14；尼希米记 13:14、尼希米记 13:22、尼希米记 13:29、尼希米记 13:31。
