Nehemiah 9:29-30

9:29 And you solemnly admonished them in order to return them to your law, but they behaved presumptuously and did not obey your commandments. They sinned against your ordinances – those by which an individual, if he obeys them, ¹⁰  will live. They boldly turned from you; ¹¹  they rebelled ¹²  and did not obey. 9:30 You prolonged your kindness ¹³  with them for many years, and you solemnly admonished them by your Spirit through your prophets. Still they paid no attention, ¹⁴  so you delivered them into the hands of the neighboring peoples. ¹⁵

[8:19]  ¹ tn Heb “if forgetting, you forget.” The infinitive absolute is used for emphasis; the translation indicates this with the words “at all” (cf. KJV).

[31:21]  ² tn Heb “Then it will come to pass that.”

[31:21]  ³ tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

[31:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

[31:21]  ⁵ tn Heb “his.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “their.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

[31:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “it will not be forgotten from the mouth of his seed.”

[31:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “his.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “their.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

[31:21]  ⁸ tn Heb “which he is doing.”

[31:21]  ⁹ tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

[9:29]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “if a man keep.” See note on the word “obey” in Neh 1:5.

[9:29]  ¹¹ tn Heb “they gave a stubborn shoulder.”

[9:29]  ¹² tn Heb “they stiffened their neck.”

[9:30]  ¹³ tn The Hebrew expression here is elliptical. The words “your kindness” are not included in the Hebrew text, but have been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[9:30]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “did not give ear to.”

[9:30]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “the peoples of the lands.”

[16:28]  ¹⁶ sn To warn them. The warning would consist of a call to act differently than their dead brother had, or else meet his current terrible fate.

[16:28]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “lest they also come.”

[2:40]  ¹⁸ tn Or “warned.”

[2:40]  ¹⁹ tn Or “crooked” (in a moral or ethical sense). See Luke 3:5.

[20:21]  ²⁰ tn BDAG 233 s.v. διαμαρτύρομαι 1 has “testify of, bear witness to (orig. under oath)…of repentance to Judeans and Hellenes Ac 20:21.”

[20:21]  ²¹ tc Several mss, including some of the more important ones (Ì⁷⁴ א Α C [D] E 33 36 323 945 1175 1241 1505 1739 pm and a number of versions), read Χριστόν (Criston, “Christ”) at the end of this verse. This word is lacking in B H L P Ψ 614 pm. Although the inclusion is supported by many earlier and better mss, internal evidence is on the side of the omission: In Acts, both “Lord Jesus” and “Lord Jesus Christ” occur, though between 16:31 and the end of the book “Lord Jesus Christ” appears only in 28:31, perhaps as a kind of climactic assertion. Thus, the shorter reading is to be preferred.

[4:17]  ²² tn On the translation of μαρτύρομαι (marturomai) as “insist” see BDAG 619 s.v. 2.

[4:17]  ²³ tn On the translation of ματαιότης (mataioth") as “futility” see BDAG 621 s.v.

[4:17]  ²⁴ tn Or “thoughts,” “mind.”

[4:1]  ²⁵ tn Grk “prisoner in the Lord.”

[4:1]  ²⁶ tn Grk “walk.” The verb “walk” in the NT letters refers to the conduct of one’s life, not to physical walking.

[4:1]  ²⁷ sn With which you have been called. The calling refers to the Holy Spirit’s prompting that caused them to believe. The author is thus urging his readers to live a life that conforms to their saved status before God.

[4:1]  ²⁸ tn Grk “prisoner in the Lord.”

[4:1]  ²⁹ tn Grk “walk.” The verb “walk” in the NT letters refers to the conduct of one’s life, not to physical walking.

[4:1]  ³⁰ sn With which you have been called. The calling refers to the Holy Spirit’s prompting that caused them to believe. The author is thus urging his readers to live a life that conforms to their saved status before God.

[4:14]  ³¹ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[4:14]  ³² tn While the sense of the passage is clear enough, translation in English is somewhat difficult. The Greek says: “by the trickery of men, by craftiness with the scheme of deceit.” The point is that the author is concerned about Christians growing into maturity. He is fearful that certain kinds of very cunning people, who are skilled at deceitful scheming, should come in and teach false doctrines which would in turn stunt the growth of the believers.
