11 So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days. 12 I arose in the night, I and a few men with me. I didn’t tell anyone what my God put into my heart to do for Jerusalem. There wasn’t any animal with me except the animal that I rode on. 13 I went out by night by the valley gate toward the jackal’s well, then to the dung gate; and I inspected the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and its gates were consumed with fire. 14 Then I went on to the spring gate and to the king’s pool, but there was no place for the animal that was under me to pass. 15 Then I went up in the night by the brook and inspected the wall; and I turned back, and entered by the valley gate, and so returned. 16 The rulers didn’t know where I went, or what I did. I had not as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest who did the work.

11 我到了耶路撒冷, 在那里停留了三天。

12 我在夜间起来, 和几个人一起出去, 我没有告诉任何人我的 神使我定意要为耶路撒冷作的事, 除了我所骑的一头牲口以外, 没有带着别的牲口。

13 我夜间出了谷门, 向着龙泉走去, 到了粪门, 视察耶路撒冷破坏了的城墙和被火焚毁的城门。

14 我又往前走, 到了泉门和王池, 因为地方不够让我骑着牲口过去,

15 我只得在夜间沿溪而上, 视察城墙, 然后转回, 经过谷门, 回到城里。

16 没有一个官长知道我去过什么地方, 作了什么事。我也一直没有告诉犹大人、或祭司、或贵胄、或官长, 或其余作工的人。
