Nehemiah Capítulo 9
1
Nehemiah 9:1
繁體中文
Original em inglês
The festival lasted from the 15th day of the 7th month to the first. The 22nd day was a day of solemn observance Nehemiah 8:18. One day seems to have been allowed the people for rest; and then the work of repentance, for which they had shown themselves ready Nehemiah 8:9, was taken in hand, and a general fast was proclaimed.

Nehemiah 9:4
繁體中文
七十士譯本與武加大譯本把「臺階」後面的逗號刪去。「利未人的臺階（或臺架）」應理解為一座高起的平臺，他們站在其上可以更有效地向百姓講話並引導他們（參 Nehemiah 8:4）。
Original em inglês
The Septuagint and the Vulgate remove the comma after "stairs." By the "stairs (or scaffold) of the Levites" is to be understood as an elevated platform from which they could the better address and lead the people (compare Nehemiah 8:4).

Nehemiah 9:5

起來——百姓先前是跪着認罪、敬拜神（Nehemiah 9:3）；如今他們要採取合宜的姿態來讚美。可與邊註參考全部對照。
Original em inglês
Stand up - The people had knelt to confess and to worship God Nehemiah 9:3. They were now to take the proper attitude for praise. Compare throughout the margin reference.

Nehemiah 9:6

天上的軍兵敬拜你——即天使。見 1 Kings 22:19；Psalm 103:21。

Original em inglês
In their rebellion - The Septuagint and several maunscripts have "in Egypt" (the words in the original differing by one letter only), and translate - "And appointed a captain to return to their bondage in Egypt." Compare the margin reference. The appointment of a leader is regarded here as made, whereas we are only told in the Book of Numbers that it was proposed.

Thou didst divide them into corners - i. e., parts of the holy land; or as some prefer "thou didst distribute them on all sides."

Original em inglês
Became fat. - i. e., "grew proud," or "wanton" - a phrase only occurring here, in the margin reference, and in Jeremiah 5:28.
Delighted themselves - Rather, "luxuriated." The word in the original does not occur elsewhere; but cognate terms make the sense clear.

Original em inglês
Slew thy prophets - Compare 1 Kings 18:4; 1 Kings 19:10; 2 Chronicles 24:21. Jewish tradition further affirms that more than one of the great prophets (e. g., Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel) were martyred by their countrymen.

Original em inglês
Seal unto it - The exact force of the phrase used is doubtful; but its general sense must be that the classes named took part in the sealing. It was usual in the East to authenticate covenants by appending the seals of those who were parties to them (see Jeremiah 32:10).
節期從第七個月的十五日持續到二十一日。第二十二日是嚴肅遵守的聖會之日（Nehemiah 8:18）。百姓似乎獲准休息了一天；隨後，他們既已在悔改之事上顯出準備（Nehemiah 8:9），這工夫便被着手進行，並宣告了一次全民的禁食。
