小組分享設計01:凡事盡力而為以禱告尋求神的智慧
【尼希米記2:1-10】
1   亞達薛西王二十年尼散月,在王面前擺酒,我拿起酒來奉給王。我素來在王面前沒有愁容。
【NIV】In the month of Nisan in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was brought for him, I took the wine and gave it to the king. I had not been sad in his presence before,

2   王對我說:「你既沒有病,為什麼面帶愁容呢?這不是別的,必是你心中愁煩。」於是我甚懼怕。
【NIV】so the king asked me, "Why does your face look so sad when you are not ill? This can be nothing but sadness of heart." I was very much afraid,

3   我對王說:「願王萬歲!我列祖墳墓所在的那城荒涼,城門被火焚燒,我豈能面無愁容嗎?」
【NIV】but I said to the king, "May the king live forever! Why should my face not look sad when the city where my ancestors are buried lies in ruins, and its gates have been destroyed by fire?"

4   王問我說:「你要求什麼?」於是我默禱天上的神。
【NIV】The king said to me, "What is it you want?" Then I prayed to the God of heaven,

5   我對王說:「僕人若在王眼前蒙恩,王若喜歡,求王差遣我往猶大,到我列祖墳墓所在的那城去,我好重新建造。」
【NIV】and I answered the king, "If it pleases the king and if your servant has found favor in his sight, let him send me to the city in Judah where my ancestors are buried so that I can rebuild it."

6   那時王后坐在王的旁邊。王問我說:「你去要多少日子?幾時回來?」我就定了日期。於是王喜歡差遣我去。
【NIV】Then the king, with the queen sitting beside him, asked me, "How long will your journey take, and when will you get back?" It pleased the king to send me; so I set a time.

7   我又對王說:「王若喜歡,求王賜我詔書,通知大河西的省長准我經過,直到猶大;
【NIV】I also said to him, "If it pleases the king, may I have letters to the governors of Trans-Euphrates, so that they will provide me safe-conduct until I arrive in Judah?

8   又賜詔書,通知管理王園林的亞薩,使他給我木料,做屬殿營樓之門的橫梁和城牆,與我自己房屋使用的。」王就允准我,因我神施恩的手幫助我。
【NIV】And may I have a letter to Asaph, keeper of the royal park, so he will give me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel by the temple and for the city wall and for the residence I will occupy?" And because the gracious hand of my God was on me, the king granted my requests.

9   王派了軍長和馬兵護送我。我到了河西的省長那裡,將王的詔書交給他們。
【NIV】So I went to the governors of Trans-Euphrates and gave them the king's letters. The king had also sent army officers and cavalry with me.

10  和倫人參巴拉,並為奴的亞捫人多比雅,聽見有人來為以色列人求好處,就甚惱怒。
【NIV】When Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official heard about this, they were very much disturbed that someone had come to promote the welfare of the Israelites.



小組分享設計02:當我們仰望神時就能脫離一切的恐懼
【尼希米記4:1-14】
1   參巴拉聽見我們修造城牆就發怒,大大惱恨,嗤笑猶大人,
【NIV】When Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, he became angry and was greatly incensed. He ridiculed the Jews,

2   對他弟兄和撒瑪利亞的軍兵說:「這些軟弱的猶大人做什麼呢?要保護自己嗎?要獻祭嗎?要一日成功嗎?要從土堆裡拿出火燒的石頭再立牆嗎?」
【NIV】and in the presence of his associates and the army of Samaria, he said, "What are those feeble Jews doing? Will they restore their wall? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they finish in a day? Can they bring the stones back to life from those heaps of rubble-burned as they are?"

3   亞捫人多比雅站在旁邊,說:「他們所修造的石牆,就是狐狸上去也必跐倒。」
【NIV】Tobiah the Ammonite, who was at his side, said, "What they are building-even a fox climbing up on it would break down their wall of stones!"

4   我們的神啊,求你垂聽,因為我們被藐視。求你使他們的毀謗歸於他們的頭上,使他們在擄到之地作為掠物。
【NIV】Hear us, our God, for we are despised. Turn their insults back on their own heads. Give them over as plunder in a land of captivity.
 
5   不要遮掩他們的罪孽,不要使他們的罪惡從你面前塗抹,因為他們在修造的人眼前惹動你的怒氣。
【NIV】Do not cover up their guilt or blot out their sins from your sight, for they have thrown insults in the face of the builders.

6   這樣,我們修造城牆,城牆就都連絡,高至一半,因為百姓專心做工。
【NIV】So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their heart.
 
7   參巴拉、多比雅、亞拉伯人、亞捫人、亞實突人聽見修造耶路撒冷城牆,著手進行堵塞破裂的地方,就甚發怒。
【NIV】But when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites and the people of Ashdod heard that the repairs to Jerusalem's walls had gone ahead and that the gaps were being closed, they were very angry.
 
8   大家同謀要來攻擊耶路撒冷,使城內擾亂。
【NIV】They all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and stir up trouble against it.
 
9   然而,我們禱告我們的神,又因他們的緣故,就派人看守,晝夜防備。
【NIV】But we prayed to our God and posted a guard day and night to meet this threat.

10  猶大人說:「灰土尚多,扛抬的人力氣已經衰敗,所以我們不能建造城牆。」
【NIV】Meanwhile, the people in Judah said, "The strength of the laborers is giving out, and there is so much rubble that we cannot rebuild the wall."

11  我們的敵人且說:「趁他們不知不見,我們進入他們中間,殺他們,使工作止住。」
【NIV】Also our enemies said, "Before they know it or see us, we will be right there among them and will kill them and put an end to the work."
 
12  那靠近敵人居住的猶大人十次從各處來見我們,說:「你們必要回到我們那裡。」
【NIV】Then the Jews who lived near them came and told us ten times over, "Wherever you turn, they will attack us."
 
13  所以我使百姓各按宗族拿刀、拿槍、拿弓站在城牆後邊低窪的空處。
【NIV】Therefore I stationed some of the people behind the lowest points of the wall at the exposed places, posting them by families, with their swords, spears and bows.

14  我察看了,就起來對貴冑、官長,和其餘的人說:「不要怕他們!當記念主是大而可畏的。你們要為弟兄、兒女、妻子、家產爭戰。」
【NIV】After I looked things over, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, "Don't be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes."

【尼希米記8:1-12】
1   到了七月,以色列人住在自己的城裡。那時,他們如同一人聚集在水門前的寬闊處,請文士以斯拉將耶和華藉摩西傳給以色列人的律法書帶來。
【NIV】all the people came together as one in the square before the Water Gate. They told Ezra the teacher of the Law to bring out the Book of the Law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded for Israel.

2   七月初一日,祭司以斯拉將律法書帶到聽了能明白的男女會眾面前。
【NIV】So on the first day of the seventh month Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly, which was made up of men and women and all who were able to understand.

3   在水門前的寬闊處,從清早到晌午,在眾男女、一切聽了能明白的人面前讀這律法書。眾民側耳而聽。
【NIV】He read it aloud from daybreak till noon as he faced the square before the Water Gate in the presence of the men, women and others who could understand. And all the people listened attentively to the Book of the Law.

4   文士以斯拉站在為這事特備的木臺上。瑪他提雅、示瑪、亞奈雅、烏利亞、希勒家,和瑪西雅站在他的右邊;毗大雅、米沙利、瑪基雅、哈順、哈拔大拿、撒迦利亞,和米書蘭站在他的左邊。
【NIV】Ezra the teacher of the Law stood on a high wooden platform built for the occasion. Beside him on his right stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah and Maaseiah; and on his left were Pedaiah, Mishael, Malkijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah and Meshullam.

5   以斯拉站在眾民以上,在眾民眼前展開這書。他一展開,眾民就都站起來。
【NIV】Ezra opened the book. All the people could see him because he was standing above them; and as he opened it, the people all stood up.
 
6   以斯拉稱頌耶和華至大的神;眾民都舉手應聲說:「阿們!阿們!」就低頭,面伏於地,敬拜耶和華。
【NIV】Ezra praised the Lord, the great God; and all the people lifted their hands and responded, "Amen! Amen!" Then they bowed down and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground.

7   耶書亞、巴尼、示利比、雅憫、亞谷、沙比太、荷第雅、瑪西雅、基利他、亞撒利雅、約撒拔、哈難、毗萊雅,和利未人使百姓明白律法;百姓都站在自己的地方。
【NIV】The Levites-Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan and Pelaiah-instructed the people in the Law while the people were standing there.

8   他們清清楚楚地念神的律法書,講明意思,使百姓明白所念的。
【NIV】They read from the Book of the Law of God, making it clear and giving the meaning so that the people understood what was being read.
 
9   省長尼希米和作祭司的文士以斯拉,並教訓百姓的利未人,對眾民說:「今日是耶和華你們神的聖日,不要悲哀哭泣。」這是因為眾民聽見律法書上的話都哭了;
【NIV】Then Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and teacher of the Law, and the Levites who were instructing the people said to them all, "This day is holy to the Lord your God. Do not mourn or weep." For all the people had been weeping as they listened to the words of the Law.

10  又對他們說:「你們去吃肥美的,喝甘甜的,有不能預備的就分給他,因為今日是我們主的聖日。你們不要憂愁,因靠耶和華而得的喜樂是你們的力量。」
【NIV】Nehemiah said, "Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength."

11  於是利未人使眾民靜默,說:「今日是聖日;不要作聲,也不要憂愁。」
【NIV】The Levites calmed all the people, saying, "Be still, for this is a holy day. Do not grieve."

12  眾民都去吃喝,也分給人,大大快樂,因為他們明白所教訓他們的話。
【NIV】Then all the people went away to eat and drink, to send portions of food and to celebrate with great joy, because they now understood the words that had been made known to them.

【尼希米記10:32-39】
32  我們又為自己定例,每年各人捐銀一舍客勒三分之一,為我們神殿的使用,
【NIV】"We assume the responsibility for carrying out the commands to give a third of a shekel each year for the service of the house of our God:

33  就是為陳設餅、常獻的素祭,和燔祭,安息日、月朔、節期所獻的與聖物,並以色列人的贖罪祭,以及我們神殿裡一切的費用。
【NIV】for the bread set out on the table; for the regular grain offerings and burnt offerings; for the offerings on the Sabbaths, at the New Moon feasts and at the appointed festivals; for the holy offerings; for sin offerings to make atonement for Israel; and for all the duties of the house of our God.

34  我們的祭司、利未人,和百姓都掣籤,看每年是哪一族按定期將獻祭的柴奉到我們神的殿裡,照著律法上所寫的,燒在耶和華我們神的壇上。
【NIV】"We-the priests, the Levites and the people-have cast lots to determine when each of our families is to bring to the house of our God at set times each year a contribution of wood to burn on the altar of the Lord our God, as it is written in the Law.

35  又定每年將我們地上初熟的土產和各樣樹上初熟的果子都奉到耶和華的殿裡。
【NIV】"We also assume responsibility for bringing to the house of the Lord each year the firstfruits of our crops and of every fruit tree.

36  又照律法上所寫的,將我們頭胎的兒子和首生的牛羊都奉到我們神的殿,交給我們神殿裡供職的祭司;
【NIV】"As it is also written in the Law, we will bring the firstborn of our sons and of our cattle, of our herds and of our flocks to the house of our God, to the priests ministering there.

37  並將初熟之麥子所磨的麵和舉祭、各樣樹上初熟的果子、新酒與油奉給祭司,收在我們神殿的庫房裡,把我們地上所產的十分之一奉給利未人,因利未人在我們一切城邑的土產中當取十分之一。
【NIV】"Moreover, we will bring to the storerooms of the house of our God, to the priests, the first of our ground meal, of our grain offerings, of the fruit of all our trees and of our new wine and olive oil. And we will bring a tithe of our crops to the Levites, for it is the Levites who collect the tithes in all the towns where we work.

38  利未人取十分之一的時候,亞倫的子孫中,當有一個祭司與利未人同在。利未人也當從十分之一中取十分之一,奉到我們神殿的屋子裡,收在庫房中。
【NIV】A priest descended from Aaron is to accompany the Levites when they receive the tithes, and the Levites are to bring a tenth of the tithes up to the house of our God, to the storerooms of the treasury.

39  以色列人和利未人要將五穀、新酒,和油為舉祭,奉到收存聖所器皿的屋子裡,就是供職的祭司、守門的、歌唱的所住的屋子。這樣,我們就不離棄我們神的殿。
【NIV】The people of Israel, including the Levites, are to bring their contributions of grain, new wine and olive oil to the storerooms, where the articles for the sanctuary and for the ministering priests, the gatekeepers and the musicians are also kept. "We will not neglect the house of our God."
