For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works.

Verse 35 is found in chapter 9 of Nehemiah. Foreign kingdoms and peoples subjected Israel, but the prayer insists that God was just in what occurred. Even under foreign domination, the community recognizes that the consequences corresponded to its conduct. This confession avoids placing all blame on external powers and maintains the people’s responsibility.

Und sie haben dir nicht gedient in ihrem Königreich und in deinen großen Gütern, die du ihnen gabst, und in dem weiten und fetten Lande, das du ihnen dargegeben hast, und haben sich nicht bekehrt von ihrem bösen Wesen.
Y ellos en su reino y en tu mucho bien que les diste, y en la tierra espaciosa y pingüe que entregaste delante de ellos, no te sirvieron, ni se convirtieron de sus malas obras.
En su reino y en la abundante bondad que les diste, en la tierra espaciosa y fértil que pusiste delante de ellos, no te sirvieron ni se apartaron de sus malas obras.
Pendant qu'ils étaient les maîtres, au milieu des bienfaits nombreux que tu leur accordais, dans le pays vaste et fertile que tu leur avais livré, ils ne t'ont point servi et ils ne se sont point détournés de leurs oeuvres mauvaises.
E non ti hanno servito nel lor regno, e ne’ gran beni, che tu avevi loro dati, nè in quell’ampio e grasso paese, che tu avevi messo in lor potere; e non si son convertiti dalle loro opere malvage.
Porque eles nem no seu reino, nem na muita abundância de bens que lhes deste, nem na terra espaçosa e fértil que puseste diante deles, te serviram, nem se converteram de suas más obras.
他們在本國領受你大恩的時候,在你所賜給他們這廣大肥沃之地不事奉你,也不轉離他們的惡行。
