Néhémie 9:32

Darby's French Translation

Et maintenant, notre Dieu, le Dieu grand, puissant et terrible, qui gardes l'alliance et la bonté, que ce ne soit pas peu de chose devant toi que toutes les peines qui nous ont atteints, nous, nos rois, nos princes, et nos sacrificateurs, et nos prophètes, et nos pères, et tout ton peuple, depuis les jours des rois d'Assyrie jusqu'à ce jour-ci.

Et maintenant, ô notre Dieu!

Louis Segond (1910)
Et maintenant, ô notre Dieu, Dieu grand, puissant et redoutable, toi qui gardes ton alliance et qui exerces la miséricorde, ne regarde pas comme peu de chose toutes les souffrances que nous avons éprouvées, nous, nos rois, nos chefs, nos sacrificateurs, nos prophètes, nos pères et tout ton peuple, depuis le temps des rois d'Assyrie jusqu'à ce jour.

Le fort, le grand, le puissant et le terrible, gardant l'alliance et la gratuité; Que cette affliction qui nous est arrivée, à nous, à nos Rois, à nos principaux, à nos Sacrificateurs, à nos Prophètes, à nos pères et à tout ton peuple, depuis le temps des Rois d'Assyrie, jusqu'à aujourd'hui, ne soit point réputée petite devant toi.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy,.... The same titles Nehemiah gives to the Lord, Nehemiah 1:5 and it may be reasonably thought the whole prayer is his composure, which was delivered by him to the Levites:

let not all the trouble seem little before thee; as if it was not enough; let it be judged sufficient, and no more be added, but mercy shown; Aben Ezra thinks the word "little" is not to be connected with "trouble", but with the nearest antecedent "mercy", and so Gussetius z; as if the sense was, let not thy mercy be small with thee, but let it be largely extended along with all the trouble, or at the time when trouble of every kind

comes upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the times of the kings of Assyria unto this day; but this sense is not clear, and makes it have respect to times to come; whereas it relates to time past, and to all the trouble and affliction they had met with from the Assyrian kings, from the time they invaded their land, and carried them captive, until this very time.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 32. On our kings, on our princes — I believe Nehemiah in this place mentions the whole of civil society in its officers as they stand related to each other in dignity: -

1. KINGS, as supreme.

2. PRINCES.

3. PRIESTS.

4. PROPHETS.

5. The FATHERS, heads or chiefs of tribes and families.

6. The COMMON PEOPLE.

Those who disturb this natural order (for it subsists even in Britain) are enemies to the peace of the whole, whatever they may pretend to the contrary.
