Nehemiah 1
1 The words of Neemias the son of Chelcia. And it came to pass in the month Chaseleu, of the twentieth year, that I was in Susan the palace.
हकल्याहका छोरा नहेम्याहका वचनहरूः बिसौँ वर्षको किसलेव महिनामा म शूशनको किल्लामा छँदा,
2 And Anani, one of my brethren, came, he and [some] men of Juda; and I asked them concerning those that had escaped, who had been left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.
मेरा दाजुहरूमध्येका एक जना अर्थात् हनानी यहूदाबाट केही मानिसहरूसँगै आए, र मैले त्यहाँ बाँकी रहेका यहूदीहरू र यरूशलेमको विषयमा सोधपुछ गरेँ ।
3 And they said to me, The remnant, [even] those that are left of the captivity, [are] there in the land, in great distress and reproach: and the walls of Jerusalem [are] thrown down, and its gates are burnt with fire.
तिनीहरूले मलाई भने, “निर्वासनबाट बाँचेर आएकाहरू जो प्रान्तमा छन्, तिनीहरू ठुलो कष्ट र अपमानमा छन्, किनकि यरूशलेमको पर्खाल भत्काइएको छ, र यसका मुल ढोकाहरूमा आगो लगाइएका छन् ।”
4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, [that] I sat down and wept, and mourned for [several] days, and continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven.
मैले यी वचन सुन्ने बित्तिकै म बसेर रोएँ, अनि कैयौँ दिनसम्म स्वर्गका परमेश्वरको सामु म शोक गर्दै, उपवास बस्दै र प्रार्थना गर्दै बसेँ ।
5 And I said, Nay, I pray you, O Lord God of heaven, the mighty, the great and terrible, keeping your covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to those that keep his commandments:
तब मैले भनेँ, “तपाईं स्वर्गका परमेश्वर परमप्रभु हुनुहुन्छ, जो महान् र भययोग्य हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईंलाई प्रेम गर्नेहरू र तपाईंका आज्ञाहरू मान्नेहरूप्रति करार पुरा गर्नुहुन्छ र तपाईंको अचुक प्रेम देखाउनुहुन्छ ।
6 let now your ear be attentive, and your eyes open, that you may hear the prayer of your servant, which I pray before you at this time, this day [both] day and night, for the children of Israel your servants, and make confession for the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against you: both I and the house of my father have sinned.
अब तपाईंका दासहरू अर्थात् इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका निम्ति तपाईंका दास मैले दिनप्रतिदिन गर्ने मेरो प्रार्थना सुन्नुहोस्, र तपाईंका आँखा खोल्नुहोस् । तपाईंको विरुद्धमा हामी सबै इस्राएलीले गरेका पाप म स्वीकार गर्दै छु । म र मेरा पिताको घराना दुवैले पाप गरेका छन् ।
7 We have altogether broken [covenant] with you, and we have not kept the commandments, and the ordinances, and the judgements, which you did command your servant Moses.
हामीले तपाईंको विरुद्धमा दुष्ट काम गरेका छौँ, र तपाईंले आफ्ना दास मोशालाई दिनुभएका आज्ञाहरू, विधिविधानहरु र नियमहरू पालन गरेका छैनौँ ।
8 Remember, I pray you, the word wherewith you did charge your servant Moses, saying, If you break covenant [with me], I will disperse you amongst the nations.
कृपा गरी आफ्ना दास मोशालाई तपाईंले आज्ञा दिनुभएको वचन स्मरण गर्नुहोस्, 'तिमीहरू अविश्वासयोग्य भयौ भने म तिमीहरूलाई जाति-जातिहरूका बिचमा तितर-बितर पारिदिने छु,
9 But if you turn again to me, and keep my commandments, and do them; if you should be scattered under the utmost [bound] of heaven, thence will I gather them, and I will bring them into the place which I have chosen to cause my name to dwell there.
तर तिमीहरू मकहाँ फर्केर मेरा आज्ञाहरूलाई पछ्याई पालन गर्यौ भने तिमीहरूका मानिसहरू आकाशका कुना-कुनासम्म तितर-बितर भए तापनि म तिनीहरूलाई त्यहाँबाट जम्मा गर्ने छु, र मेरो नाउँ राख्न मैले चुनेको ठाउँमा तिनीहरूलाई फर्काएर ल्याउने छु ।'
10 Now they [are] your servants and your people, whom you have redeemed with your great power, and with your strong hand.
तिनीहरू तपाईंका दासहरू हुन्, र तपाईंका मानिसहरू हुन्, जसलाई तपाईंले आफ्नो महान् शक्ति र शक्तिशाली हातले छुटकारा दिनुभएको छ ।
11 [Turn] not [away], I pray you, O Lord, but let your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants, who desire to fear your name: and prosper, I pray you, your servant this day, and cause him to find mercy in the sight of this man. Now I was the king's cupbearer.
हे परमप्रभु, म बिन्ती गर्छु, कि तपाईंको नाउँको आदर गर्ने तपाईंका दास र तपाईंका दासहरूको प्रार्थना सुन्नुहोस् । आज तपाईंको दासलाई सफलता दिनुहोस्, र यस मानिसको दृष्टिमा उसलाई कृपा देखाउनुहोस् ।” म राजाको मद्य टक्र्याउने व्यक्तिको रूपमा काम गर्थें ।
