Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
זְכָר־נָא֙
remember now
Here remember is an idiom that means to think about someone and consider what action you can take on their behalf. Nehemiah is not suggesting that God has forgotten the promise he made to Moses. Alternate translation: “Please think about”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
הַדָּבָ֔ר אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוִּ֛יתָ אֶת־מֹשֶׁ֥ה עַבְדְּךָ֖
the,word which/who commanded DOM Mosheh servant,your
The pronouns you and your refer to God and so are singular.
הַדָּבָ֔ר
the,word
This refers to a promise that God made while giving the law to the people of Israel through Moses. Alternate translation: “the promise”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / you
אַתֶּ֣ם תִּמְעָ֔לוּ
you_all unfaithful
The pronouns you and yourselves refer to the Israelite people, and so they are plural. Alternate translation: “If you Israelites”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אַתֶּ֣ם תִּמְעָ֔לוּ
you_all unfaithful
Here infidelity in marriage is used as a figurative description of the people of Israel not keeping God’s commandments. Alternate translation: “If you Israelites do not keep my commandments”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אָפִ֥יץ אֶתְכֶ֖ם בָּעַמִּֽים
scatter DOM,you_all in/on/at/with,peoples
The implication is that God would do this to punish the Israelites for breaking his commandments. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “as a punishment, I will take you from your land and make you live among the other nations”
1:5-11 Nehemiah’s prayer includes praise (1:5), confession (1:6-7), remembrance of God’s promises (1:8-9), and petition (1:10-11). Nehemiah recognized that Israel’s current situation was not a failure of God’s covenant of unfailing love. Israel’s persistent sin had brought about the punishments entailed in the covenant.
