Nehemiah 1
1 These are the words of Nehemiah son of Hacaliah: In the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, while I was in the citadel of Susa,
Amo sia: da Nihemaia (Ha: galaia egefe) amo ea hawa: hamosu olelesa. Adasegesisi da Besia soge amoga hina bagade esalu. Ea ouligisu hou ode20 amola oubi ea dio Gisilefe amoga, na, Nihemaia, na da Besia bisili moilai bai bagade amo Susa, amo ganodini esalebe ba: i.
2 Hanani, one of my brothers, arrived with men from Judah. So I questioned them about the remnant of the Jews who had survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem.
Na olalali afae amo ea dio Hana: inai, e amola eno dunu gilisili da Yuda soge fisili, nama doaga: i. Na da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade ea hou, amola ninia Yu fi musa: mugululi asi, Yuda sogega buhagi, amo ilia hou ilima adole ba: i.
3 And they told me, “The remnant who survived the exile are there in the province, in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates are burned with fire.”
Ilia da amo hou nama adole i. Musa: mugululi asi dunu mogili da bogoi dagoi. Be mogili da buhagili, Yuda soge ganodini esala, da se bagade nabawane esala. Ga fi dunu gadenene esala da Yu dunu amo higale ba: sa, ilia sia: i. Yelusaleme gagoi dobea amo musa: mugululi sa: i dagoi, amo da bu hame gagoi. Amola logo ga: su musa: laluga nei, amo da bu hame ga: si.
4 When I heard these words, I sat down and wept. I mourned for days, fasting and praying before the God of heaven.
Na da amo sia: nababeba: le, fila sa: ili amola bagadewane dinanu. Eso didia amoga, na da dinanuwane, ha: i mae nawane Godema sia: ne gadolalu.
5 Then I said: “O LORD, God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps His covenant of loving devotion with those who love Him and keep His commandments,
Na da amane sia: ne gadoi, “Hina Gode Hebene ganodini esala! Di da bagadedafa amola ninia Diba: le beda: i bagade. Dia gousa: su, amo Di da Dima asigi amola nabasu dunu amo fidima: ne hamoi, amo Di da mae fisili dawa: lala.
6 let Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to hear the prayer that I, Your servant, now pray before You day and night for Your servants, the Israelites. I confess the sins that we Israelites have committed against You. Both I and my father’s house have sinned.
Hina Gode! Na hou ba: ma amola na sia: ne gadosu nabima! Na da dia fi dunu amo Isala: ili fi dunu amola uda, na da gasi huluane amola eso huluane amoga ili fidima: ne, Dima sia: ne gadolala. Dafawane! Ninia Isala: ili dunu da wadela: le hamoi dagoi. Na amola na aowalali dunu da wadela: i hou hamoi dagoi.
7 We have behaved corruptly against You and have not kept the commandments, statutes, and ordinances that You gave Your servant Moses.
Ninia da Dima wadela: i hou hamosu, amola Dia sia: hame nabasu. Ninia Dia sema amo Di da dia hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese ea lafidili ninima i, amoma hame fa: no bobogesu.
8 Remember, I pray, the word that You commanded Your servant Moses when You said, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations,
Dia da Mousesema sia: i liligi bu dawa: ma, amane, ‘Dilia Isala: ili dunu da Na sia: hame nabasea, Na da dilia fi afagogole, ga fi dunu amo ganodini esaloma: ne sefasimu.
9 but if you return to Me and keep and practice My commandments, then even if your exiles have been banished to the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for My Name.’
Be amasea, dilia da Nama, Na dilima hamoma: ne sia: i defele Nama bu sinidigisia, Na da dili soge amoga Nama nodone sia: ne gadomusa: Na da ilegei, amo sogega Na da dili bu oule misunu,’ Di da amane sia: i dagoi.
10 They are Your servants and Your people. You redeemed them by Your great power and mighty hand.
Hina Gode! Amo dunu da Dia hawa: hamosu dunu! Ilia da Dia ilegei fi dunu! Di da Dia gasa bagade amoga, amo fi dunu gaga: i dagoi.
11 O Lord, may Your ear be attentive to my prayer and to the prayers of Your servants who delight to revere Your name. Give Your servant success this day, I pray, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.” (At that time I was the cupbearer to the king.)
Amaiba: le, na sia: ne gadosu amola Dia hawa: hamosu dunu eno ilia Dima nodomusa: dawa: , ilia sia: ne gadosu amola nabima. Hina bagade da na sia: noga: le nabima: ne, Di da ea dogo ganodini hawa: hamoma!” na amane sia: ne gadoi. Amo esoga na da Besia hina bagade amo ea waini hano iasu dunu esalu.
