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。

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.
