Nehemiah 9
1 Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel assembled with fasting, and in sackcloths, and with ashes on their head.
Hot patetlah, hate thapa 24 hnin nah Isarelnaw teh rawcahai hoi buri kâkhu teh, vaiphu a kâphuen awh teh kamkhueng awh.
2 And the children of Israel separated themselves from every stranger, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.
Isarelnaw teh ram alouknaw koehoi aloukcalah ao awh teh, a yonnae naw hoi mintoenaw e payonnae hah kangdue laihoi a pâpho awh.
3 And they stood in their place, and read in the book of the law of the Lord their god: and they confessed [their sins] to the Lord, and worshipped the Lord their God.
Amamouh onae hmuen koe lengkaleng a kangdue awh teh, hnin touh hah pali touh lah a kapek awh teh, amamae hmuen koe lengkaleng a kangdue awh teh, buet touh dawk BAWIPA Cathut e kâlawk a touk awh. Buet touh dawk, yon a pâpho awh teh, buet touh dawk BAWIPA Cathut hah a bawk awh.
4 [And] there stood upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jesus, and the sons of Cadmiel, Sechenia the son of Sarabia, sons of Choneni; and they cried with a loud voice to the Lord their God.
Hot patetlah, Levih taminaw khalai rasang dawk Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani hoi Kenani naw hah a kangdue awh teh, kacaipounglah BAWIPA Cathut hah a kaw awh.
5 And the Levites, Jesus and Cadmiel, said, Rise up, bless the Lord our God forever and ever: and let them bless your glorious name, and exalt it with all blessing and praise.
Hot patetlah, Levih tami, Jeshua hoi Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, hoi Pethahiah naw ni kang dout awh nateh Jehovah Cathut teh a yungyoe hoi a yungyoe pholen awh. Pholennae a Lathueng Poung lah kaawm e, na min lentoenae teh pholennae awm seh telah ati awh.
6 And Esdras said, You are the only true Lord; you made the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, and all their array, the earth, and all things that are in it, the seas, and all things in them; and you quicken all things, and the hosts of heaven worship you.
Hahoi maya ni nang duengdoeh Jehovah lah na kaawm. Nama ni kalvan hah na sak. Kalvannaw e kalvan hoi athung kaawmnaw pueng hoi, talai hoi athung kaawmnaw pueng hoi, talî hoi athung kaawm e pueng hah na sak teh, abuemlah na khetyawt. Nang teh kalvan kaawm pueng ni na bawk awh.
7 You are the Lord God, you did choose Abram, and brought him out of the land of the Chaldeans, and gave him the name of Abraam:
Nang ni Abraham na rawi teh, Khaldean ram Ur kho hoi na tâcokhai teh, a min lah Abraham telah na ka phung e Jehovah Cathut lah na o.
8 and you found his heart faithful before you, and did make a covenant with him to give to him and to his seed the land of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Pherezites, and Jebusites, and Gergesites; and you have confirmed your words, for you [are] righteous.
A lungthin teh na hmalah yuemkamcu lah na hmu teh, Kanaan tami, Hit tami, Amor tami, Periz tami, Jebusit tami hoi Girgashite taminaw e ram hah, ca catounnaw poe hanelah lawkkam na sak. Na lawk teh na kuep sak. Bangkongtetpawiteh nang teh na lan.
9 And you saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and you heard their cry at the Red Sea.
Izip ram e mintoenaw rucat khangnae hah na hmu teh, tuipuipaling teng e a hramki awh e lawk hah na thai.
10 And you showed signs and wonders in Egypt, on Pharao and all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for you know that they behaved insolently against them: and you made yourself a name, as at this day.
Faro hoi ama koe kaawm e pueng hoi a ram dawk e tami pueng e lathueng vah, mitnoutnae kângairu hah na kamnue sak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, polainae nama dawk ouk a sak awh e hah, nama ni na panue. Hatdawkvah, nama hane na min hah na sak. Sahnin e kaawm e patetlah.
11 And you did cleave the sea before them, and they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land; and you did cast into the deep them that were about to pursue them, as a stone in the mighty water.
Hahoi ahnimae hmalah tui hah na kapek teh talai kaphui dawk na cei awh. Ahnimouh thoe ka bo e hah kadung e tui thung, athakaawme tui thung vah talung patetlah na tâkhawng.
12 And you guided them by day by a pillar of cloud, and by night by a pillar of fire, to enlighten for them the way wherein they should walk.
Kanîthun vah tâmaikhom hoi na hrawi teh, karum lah a cei awh nahane lamthung dawk ka tue hanelah hmaikhom hoi a hrawi.
13 Also you came down upon mount Sina, and you spoke to them out of heaven, and gave them right judgements, and laws of truth, ordinances, and good commandments.
Sinai mon dawk hoi na kum teh, kalvan hoi ahnimouh koe lawk na dei. Kalan e lawkcengnae, kalan e kâlawk, phunglawknaw hoi kâpoelawk hah na poe.
14 And you did make known to them your holy sabbath; you did enjoin upon them commandments, and ordinances, and a law, by the hand of your servant Moses.
Kathounge Sabbath hah na panue sak. Mosi hno lahoi kâ na poe. Phunglawknaw, kâpoelawknaw, hoi kâlawk hah na poe.
15 And you gave them bread from heaven for their food, and you brought them forth water from a rock for their thirst; and you bade them go in to inherit the land over which you stretched out your hand to give [it] them.
Hahoi a vonhlam navah, kalvan hoi vaiyei na poe. Tui kahran awh navah, lungsong dawk hoi tui na tâcosak teh, poe hanelah na noe pouh e ram hah ao awh nahan na poe.
16 But they and our fathers behaved proudly, and hardened their neck, and did not listen to your commandments,
Hateiteh ahnimouh hoi mintoenaw ni polainae hoi a lungpata sak awh. Kâpoelawknaw hah tarawi awh hoeh.
17 and refused to listen, and remembered not your wonders which you wrought with them; and they hardened their neck, and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt: but you, O God, [are] merciful and compassionate, longsuffering, and abundant in mercy, and you did not forsake them.
Tarawi han ngai awh hoeh. Kângairu hno na sak e naw hai thai han ngai awh hoeh toe. A lung hah a pata sak awh teh, taran a thaw awh teh san lah a onae koe lah ban hane kahrawikung hah a rawi awh. Hatei nang teh ngaithoum hanelah coungkacoe lah kaawm e Cathut, pahrennae lungmanae, hoi ka kawi e, lung kasawe, hawisaknae moi ka tawn e lah na o teh, ahnimouh teh na cettakhai boihoeh.
18 And still farther they even made to themselves a molten calf, and said, These [are] the gods that brought us up out of Egypt: and they wrought great provocations.
Meikaphawk maitoca a sak awh teh, Izip ram hoi ka tâcawtkhai e Cathut teh puenghoi a lungkhuek nahanlah a sak awh nakunghai,
19 Yet you in your great compassions did not forsake them in the wilderness: you did not turn away from them the pillar of the cloud by day, to guide them in the way, nor the pillar of fire by night, to enlighten for them the way wherein they should walk.
Lungmanae kalenpounge dawk hoi kahrawngum vah na cettakhai boihoeh. Lam ka hrawi hane tâmaikhom ni cettakhai boihoeh. Lam a hmu thai na hanelah karum lah hmaikhom ni cettakhai boihoeh.
20 And you gave your good Spirit to instruct them, and you did not withhold your manna from their mouth, and gave them water in their thirst.
Ahnimouh ka cangkhai hanelah, kahawi e na Muitha hah na poe teh, mana hoi na kawk teh nei hanelah tui na poe.
21 And you did sustain them forty years in the wilderness; you did not allow anything to fail them: their garments did not wax old, and their feet were not bruised.
Kahrawngum kum 40 touh thung na kawk. Banghai voutthoupnae awmhoeh. Hnicu a pawnnae awmhoeh. A khoknaw hai phing hoeh.
22 Moreover, you gave them kingdoms, and did divide nations to them: and they inherited the land of Seon king of Esebon, and the land of Og king of Basan.
Hahoi uknaeram hoi miphun hah na poe teh ram buet touh hnukkhu buet touh na rei. Hottelah, Heshbon siangpahrang Sihon ram e, Bashan siangpahrang Og ram hah a la awh.
23 And you did multiply their children as the stars of heaven, and brought them into the land of which you spoke to their fathers;
Ca catounnaw teh kalvan e âsi yit touh na pung sak teh a coe awh hane mintoenaw koe na dei pouh e patetlah, ram dawk na kâenkhai.
24 And they inherited it: and you did destroy from before them the dwellers in the land of the Chananites, and you gave into their hands them and their kings, and the nations of the land, to do to them as it pleased them.
Hot patetlah, ca catounnaw ni ram teh a coe awh. Nama ni hote ram dawk kaawm e Kanaan taminaw hah, ahnimae a hmalah na sung sak teh, a ngai patetlah a sak awh hanelah siangpahrangnaw hoi a ram e taminaw hah a kut dawk na poe.
25 And they took lofty cities, and inherited houses full of all good things, wells dug, vineyards, and olive yards, and every fruit tree in abundance: so they ate, and were filled, and grew fat, and rioted in your great goodness.
Ka cak e khopuinaw hoi, kahawipoung e ramnaw hah a la awh teh, hnokahawi phunkuep hoi kakawi e imnaw, tai tangcoung e tuikhunaw hoi misur takha hoi, olive takhanaw hoi thingthaikungnaw a pang awh. Hottelah a ca awh teh, a von a paha awh. A thaw teh na lentoenae, na hawinae dawk a phunep awh.
26 But they turned, and revolted from you, and cast your law behind their backs; and they killed your prophets, who testified against them to turn them back to you, and they wrought great provocations.
Hateiteh, ahnimouh teh lawkngai awh hoeh. Na taran awh teh, kâlawk hah amamae hnuklah a ta awh teh, nang koe bout ban hanelah, ka yue e profet hah a thei awh teh, puenghoi a tounkhouk awh.
27 Then you gave them into the hand of them that afflicted them, and they did afflict them: and they cried to you in the time of their affliction, and you did hear them from your heaven, and in your great compassions gave them deliverers, and did save them from the hand of them that afflicted them.
Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh hah amamae taran kut dawk na poe toe. Runae a kâhmo awh teh nang koe a hram awh toteh, kalvan hoi na thai pouh teh, lungmanae hoi na kawi dawkvah, taran kut dawk hoi rungngangkung hah na poe.
28 But when they rested, they did evil again before you: so you left them in the hands of their enemies, and they ruled over them: and they cried again to you, and you heard [them] from heaven, and did deliver them in your great compassions.
Hatei a kâhat awh toteh, na hmalah vah, hawihoehnae bout a sak awh dawkvah, taran kut dawk bout na poe. Ahnimouh ni bout a tho awh teh, nang koe bout a hram awh toteh, kalvan hoi na thai pouh teh lungmanae hoi na kawi dawkvah, boutbout na rungngang.
29 And you did testify against them, to bring them back to your law: but they listened not, but sinned against your commandments and your judgements, which if a man do, he shall live in them; and they turned their back, and hardened their neck, and heard not.
Nange kampangkhai e bout tarawi hanelah, na yue eiteh, ahnimouh ni ngâi awh laipalah, a kâoup awh. Katarawinaw koe hringnae lah kaawm e kâpoelawknaw hah a taran awh. Katepoung e lahuen hoi, lunglennae hoi tarawi laipalah ao awh.
30 Yet you did bear long with them many years, and did testify to them by your Spirit by the hand of your prophets: but they listened not; so you gave them into the hand of the nations of the land.
A kum moikapap ahnimouh na panguep teh, na Muitha lahoi na profetnaw hno lahoi na yue nakunghai, ahnimouh ni ngâi awh hoeh. Hatdawkvah, ram alouknaw e kut dawk na poe toe.
31 But you in your many mercies did not appoint them to destruction, and did not forsake them; for you are strong, and merciful, and pitiful.
Hatnavah nang ni pahrenlungmanae hoi kakawi e Cathut lah na o teh, pahrennae a len dawkvah, ahnimouh khoeroe na raphoe hoeh, na pahnawt hoeh.
32 And now, O our God, the powerful, the great, the mighty, and the terrible, keeping your covenant and your mercy, let not all the trouble seem little in your sight which has come upon us, and our kings, and our princes, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and upon all your people, from the days of the kings of Assur even to this day.
Hatdawkvah, maimae Cathut, kalen, athakaawme, takikatho e Cathut, pahrennae hoi lawkkam kacakpounge, Assiria siangpahrang uknae koehoi sahnin totouh, kaimae siangpahrang bawi, vaihma, profet, a tami pueng e lathueng ka phat e runae pueng, banglahai noutna hoeh e lah awm hoeh.
33 But you [are] righteous in all the things that come upon us; for you have wrought faithfully, but we have greatly sinned.
Nang ni kaimae lathueng na pha sak e hnonaw teh a kamsoum. Kaimanaw teh, kamsoum hoeh lah hno ka sak awh toe. Nang ni teh yuemkamcu lah na sak.
34 And our kings, and our princes, and our priests, and our fathers, have not performed your law, and have not given heed to your commandments, and [have not kept] your testimonies which you did testify to them.
Maimae siangpahrang hoi ukkungnaw, maimae vaihma hoi mintoenaw ni hai, kâlawk tarawi awh hoeh. Kâpoelawk hoi na panuesaknae, na yuenae thai ngai awh hoeh.
35 And they did not serve you in your kingdom, and in your great goodness which you gave to them, and in the large and fat land which you did furnish before them, and they turned not from their evil devices.
Ahnimanaw teh na uknaeram thung vah, kakaw poung, kahawipoung na poe e dawk thaw tawk ngai awh hoeh. Kahawi hoeh lah tawknae hai kâhat ngai awh hoeh.
36 Behold, we are servants this day, and [as for] the land which you gave to our fathers to eat the fruit of it and the good things of it, behold, we are servants upon it:
Khenhaw! atuvah san lah o awh. Athung e canei katui e hoi hnokahawinaw hah yampa mintoenaw koe na poe e ram dawkvah san lah ka o awh toe.
37 and its produce [is] abundant for the kings whom you did appoint over us because of our sins; and they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, as it pleases them, and we are in great affliction.
Ka yon awh dawkvah, siangpahrangnaw ni kaimouh lathueng vah a bawi awh nahanelah, kaimae takthai hoi hnopainaw e lathueng a ngai awh e patetlah kâ a tawn awh toe. Ka lungreithai awh tangngak toe telah a dei awh.
38 And in regard to all these circumstances we make a covenant, and write [it], and our princes, our Levites, [and] our priests, set their seal to [it].
Hnopainaw dawkvah, kacakpounge lawkkam ka sak awh teh, ka thut awh hnukkhu kacuenaw, vaihmanaw hoi Levih taminaw ni tacik a kin awh.
