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.

The queen was sitting beside the king. He turned and asked me,“ How long will your journey take? When will you get back?” It pleased the king to send me. So I chose a certain time.

And the king said to me( the queen sitting beside him),“ How long will you be gone, and when will you return?” So it pleased the king to send me when I had given him a time.

這事發生的時候，我不在耶路撒冷；因為在巴比倫王亞達薛西三十二年，我回到王那裡去；過了一段時期，我又向王告了假，

自從我奉命在猶大地作他們省長的日子以來，就是從亞達薛西王二十年，直到三十二年，共十二年，我和我的兄弟都沒有吃過省長的俸祿。

王問我：“你想要甚麼呢？”我就向天上的神禱告，

那時，他們還未呼求，我就應允，他們還在說話，我就垂聽。

他們必重建久已廢棄的荒場，建立先前荒涼之地；重修荒廢了的城鎮，就是歷代荒涼之處。

主啊，求你留意聽你僕人的禱告，也聽那些喜愛敬畏你名的僕人的禱告；求你使你的僕人今天順利，使他在這人面前蒙憐憫。”那時我是王的酒政。

你的子孫必重建久已荒廢之處，你必重建歷代拆毀了的根基；你要稱為修補破口的人，重修路徑給人居住的人。
