I was ashamed to ask King Artaxerxes for soldiers and horsemen. They could have kept us safe from enemies on the road. But we had told the king that our God would keep us safe. We had said,“ Our God is gracious and helps everyone who looks to him. But he becomes very angry with anyone who deserts him.”

For I was ashamed to ask the king for a band of soldiers and horsemen to protect us against the enemy on our way, since we had told the king,“ The hand of our God is for good on all who seek him, and the power of his wrath is against all who forsake him.”

蓋主目顧義人、耳聽其祈、惟主之面、鑒彼惡人、

乃出迎亞撒、謂之曰、亞撒及猶大便雅憫眾歟、其聽我言、爾若從耶和華、耶和華則偕爾、爾若求之、則必遇之、爾若棄彼、彼必棄爾、

以斯拉於摩西之律、以色列之上帝耶和華所賜者、為明敏之文士、蒙其上帝耶和華祐、所求於王、王悉許之、彼自巴比倫而上、

我子所羅門歟、當識爾父之上帝、盡心樂意以事之、蓋耶和華鑒察眾心、洞悉意想、爾若尋之、則必遇之、爾若棄之、彼必永久棄爾、

耶和華目注義人、耳聽其呼籲、以怒容向行惡者、絕其誌於世兮、

蓋耶和華之目遍及天下、凡專心向之者、必顯其力以助之、爾所行者愚也、今而後爾必有戰事、

凡仰而求耶和華者、耶和華施之恩兮、

敬畏耶和華、企望其慈惠者、彼垂顧之兮、救其魂於死亡、保其生於饑饉兮、

惟我義者、必由信而生、若其退縮、我心不悅之、

我儕知萬事同工、以益夫愛上帝者、即依其旨而蒙召者也、

施恩於我、在王與其謀士、及有權之軍長前、我蒙我上帝耶和華祐、則強厥志、集以色列族長、與我偕上、

耶和華救贖其僕之魂、託庇於彼者、無有服罪兮、

正月朔、自巴比倫啟行、蒙其上帝之祐、五月朔、至耶路撒冷、

如爾背爾上帝耶和華所命之約、崇事他神、而跪拜之、耶和華必震怒乎爾、致爾速亡於其所賜之美地、

耶和華曰、我必盡滅萬類於地、殲滅人民牲畜、飛鳥海魚、及凡窒礙、與行惡者、我必絕人於地、耶和華言之矣、我必舉手於猶大、及耶路撒冷居民、且在斯土、滅絕所遺之巴力、與基瑪琳之名、暨厥祭司、以及凡在屋巔、崇拜天象者、並崇拜耶和華、指耶和華而誓、亦指瑪勒堪而誓者、與背耶和華、而不從之者、及不尋求耶和華、而不訪之者、○

我誇爾於提多者、今無愧矣、我嘗語爾者悉真、誇爾於彼者亦真、

爾手將索爾敵、爾之右手、索憾爾者兮、爾恚忿時、使之如火爐、耶和華震怒而吞之、火必滅之兮、

宜語義者福矣、必食其行之果、禍哉惡人、必遘凶殃、將依其手所為而受報也、

此權我皆未行之、今書此、非欲爾如是待我、蓋我寧死、不使我所詡者歸於虛也、

孰識爾怒之勢、孰依畏爾之道、而知爾忿乎、
