Nehemiah 9
1 Then, on the twenty-fourth day of the same month, the sons of Israel came together in fasting and in sackcloth, and with soil upon them.
I KA la iwakaluakumamaha o keia malama, ua houluuluia mai la ka Iseraela me ka hookeai ana, a me ke kapa inoino, a me ka lepo maluna iho o lakou.
2 And the offspring of the sons of Israel were separated from all the sons of foreigners. And they stood up, and they confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers.
Hookaawaleia ae la ka Iseraela mai waena aku o na malihini a pau, ku ae la lakou, a hai aku la i ko lakou hala, a me na howa o ko lakou poe kupuna.
3 And they arose to stand. And they read in the volume of the law of the Lord their God, four times in the day, and four times they confessed. And they adored the Lord their God.
Ku ae la lakou iluna ma ko lakou wahi, a heluhelu iho la ma ka buke o ke kanawai o Iehova ko lakou Akua a hala ka hapaha o ka la; a i kekahi hapaha, hai aku la lakou i ka hewa, a hoomana aku ia Iehova ko lakou Akua.
4 Then, upon the step of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, and Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani rose up. And they cried out in a great voice to the Lord their God.
Ku ae la ma kahi kiekie, o na Levi, o Iesua, a me Bani, Kademiela, Sebania, Buni, Serebia, Bani, Kenani, a kahea aku la lakou me ka leo nui ia Iehova ko lakou Akua.
5 And the Levites, Jeshua and Kadmiel, Bunni, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah said: “Rise up. Bless the Lord your God, from eternity even to eternity! And blessed be the exalted name of your glory, with all blessing and praise.
A ololo aku la na Levi, o Iosua, a me Kademiela, Bani, Hasabenia, Sorebia, Hodia, Sebania, Petahia, E ku ae oukou, o hoomaikai aku ia Iehova ko oukou Akua ia ao aku ia ao aku: a e hoomaikaiia'ku kou inoa hanohano i hookiekieia maluna ao o ka hoomaikai ana a pau a me ka hoolea ana'ku.
6 You yourself alone, O Lord, made heaven, and the heaven of the heavens, and all their host, the earth and all things that are in it, the seas and all things that are in them. And you gave life to all these things. And the host of heaven adores you.
O oe no o Iehova, a o oe wale no; nau no i hana ka lani, a me ka lani o na lani, a me ko laila mau mea a pau, i ka honua, a me na mea a pau maluna iho ona, i na kai, a me na mea a pau iloko olaila, nau no hoi e malama ia mau mea a pau; a ke hoomana nei ko ka lani ia oe.
7 You yourself, O Lord God, are the One who chose Abram. And you led him away from the fire of the Chaldeans, and you gave him the name Abraham.
O oe no, o Iehova, ke Akua nana i koho iho ia Aberama, a alakai mai la ia ia mailoko mai o Ura no ko Kaledea, a kapa iho la oe i kona inoa o Aberahama.
8 And you found his heart to be faithful before you. And you formed a covenant with him, so that you might give to him the land of the Canaanite, of the Hittite, and of the Amorite, and of the Perizzite, and of the Jebusite, and of the Girgashite, so that you might give it to his offspring. And you have fulfilled your words, for you are just.
Loaa iho la ia oe kona naau he kupaa imua ou, a hoohiki iho la oe me ia i ka berita e haawi i ka aina o na Kanaana, na Heta, na Amora a me na Periza, a me na Iebusa, a me na Giregasa, e haawi no i kana poe mamo, a hooko iho no oe i kau olelo; no ka mea, he mea hana pololei no oe.
9 And you saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt. And you heard their outcry beside the Red Sea.
Ike aku la oe i ka popilikia o ko makou poe kupuna ma Aigupita, a hoolohe no hoi oe ma ke Kaiula i ko lakou kahea ana'ku.
10 And you gave signs and portents to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to the people of his land. For you knew that they acted arrogantly against them. And you made a name for yourself, just as it is in this day.
Hana iho la oe i na mea hoike, a me na mea kupanaha maluna o Parao, a maluna o kana poo kauwa a pau, a maluna hoi o ka poe kanaka a pau o kona aina; no ka mea, ua ike oe i ka lakou hana hookiokie ana maluna o lakou. Pela no oe i hookanlana i kou inoa e like me ia i neia la.
11 And you divided the sea before them, and they crossed through the midst of the sea on dry land. But their pursuers you cast into the depths, like a stone into great waters.
Hookaawale ae la no hoi oe i ke kai imua o lakou, i hele lakou iwaena konu o ke kai ma ka aina maloo; a kiola aku la oe i ka poe e alualu ana ia lakou iloko o ka hohonu, mo he pohaku la iloko o na wai nui.
12 And in the pillar of cloud, you were their leader by day, and in the pillar of fire, by night, so that they might see the way along which they might advance.
Me ke kia ao no oe i alakai ai ia lakou i ke ao; a, me ke kia ahi no hoi i ka po i malamalama no lakou ma ko alanui a lakou e hele ai.
13 You also descended to mount Sinai, and you spoke with them from heaven. And you gave them upright judgments, and the law of truth, and ceremonies, and good precepts.
Iho mai la oe maluna o ka mauna o Sinai, olelo pu mo lakou mai ka lani mai, a haawi mai la oe ia lakou i na olelo kupaa he pololei, a me na kapu ho oiaio, i na kanawai a me na kauoha he maikai:
14 You revealed to them your sanctified Sabbath, and you instructed them in commandments, and ceremonies, and the law, by the hand of Moses, your servant.
Hoike mai la oe ia lakou i kou Sabati hoano, a kau aku la maluna o lakou i na kauoha, a me na olelo kupaa, a me ke kanawai ma ka lima o Mose kau kauwa.
15 You also gave them bread from heaven in their hunger, and you brought forth water from the rock for them in their thirst. And you said to them that they should enter and possess the land, over which you lifted up your hand so that you might give it to them.
Haawi mai la oe ia lakou i ka berena mai ka lani mai no ko lakou pololi, a hookaho mai la hoi i ka wai no lakou mailoko mai o ka pohaku no ko lakou makewai ana, a olelo aku oe ia lakou e komo a e lilo ia lakou ka aina au i hoohiki ai e haawi ia lakou.
16 Yet truly, they and our fathers acted arrogantly, and they hardened their necks, and they did not listen to your commandments.
Aka, o lakou a me ko makou poe kupuna ua hana hookiekie no, a hooolea i ko lakou a-i, aole hoi i hoolohe i kau mau kauoha;
17 And they were not willing to hear, and they did not remember, your miracles which you had accomplished for them. And they hardened their necks, and they offered their head, so that they would return to their servitude, as if in contention. But you, a forgiving God, lenient and merciful, longsuffering and full of compassion, did not abandon them.
Hoole aku lakou, aole e hoolohe, aole hoi lakou i hoomanao i kau mau hana kupanaha au i hana'i me lakou; hooolea no lakou i ko lakou a-i, a i ko lakou kipi ana, koho iho la lakou i luna, i hoi aku ai lakou ma ko lakou hookauwa ana: aka, o oe ke Akua e kala ana i ka hala, he oluolu a me ka lokomaikai, he ahonui a me ke aloha nui, nolaila, aole oe i haalele ia lakou.
18 Indeed, even when they had made for themselves a molten calf, and they had said, ‘This is your God, who led you away from Egypt!’ and had committed great blasphemies,
Eia hoi, i ka wa a lakou i hana'i i bipikeiki i hooheeheeia, a olelo ae la, Eia kou Akua nana oe i alakai mailoko mai o Aigupita, a hana no hoi lakou i na mea hoonaukiuki loa;
19 even so, in the multitude of your mercies, you did not send them away in the desert. The pillar of cloud did not withdraw from them by day, so that it might lead them on the way, nor the pillar of fire by night, so that it might show them the way along which they might advance.
Alaila, aole oe i haalele ia lakou ma ka waonahele, no kou lokomaikai he nui loa; aole no i haalele ke kia ao ia lakou i ke ao, e alakai ana ia lakou ma ke alanui; aole hoi i haalele ke kia ahi i ka po i malamalama no lakou ma ke alanui a lakou e hele ai.
20 And you gave them your good Spirit, so that he might teach them, and you did not withhold your manna from their mouth, and you gave them water in their thirst.
Haawi mai la no hoi oe i kou Uhane maikai e ao mai ia lakou, aole hoi oe i kaili i kau mane mai ko lakou waha mai, a haawi aku oe ia lakou i ka wai no ko lakou makewai ana.
21 For forty years, you fed them in the desert, and nothing was lacking to them; their garments did not grow old, and their feet were not worn down.
Hookahi kanaha makahiki au i malama aku ai ia lakou ma ka waonahele, aole lakou i nele i kekahi mea; aole i weluwelu ko lakou aabu, aole hoi i pehu ko lakou mau wawae.
22 And you gave them kingdoms and peoples, and you distributed to them by lot. And they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og, the king of Bashan.
Haawi mai oe ia lakou i na aupuni a me na labuikanaka, a hoopuehu aku oe ia poe ma ko kihi, i lilo no lakou ka aina o Sihona, a me ka aina o ke alii o Hesebona, a me ka aina o Oga ke alii o Basana.
23 And you multiplied their sons like the stars of heaven. And you led them into the land, about which you had said to their fathers that they would enter and possess it.
Hoomabuahua iho la no hoi oe i ka lakou poe mamo e like me na hoku o ka lani, a hookomo ae la ia lakou iloko o ka aina au i olelo ai i ko lakou poe kupuna, e komo lakou a e lilo ia ia lakou.
24 And the sons arrived and possessed the land. And you humbled the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, before them. And you delivered them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, so that they might do with them just as it was pleasing to them.
Komo iho la ka poe mamo a lilo ka aina ia lakou, a hoopio iho oe i ka poe kamaaina, i ko Kanaana, imua o lakou, a haawi oe ia lakou iloko o ko lakou lima, i ko lakou mau alii a me na lahuikanaka o ka aina, e hana aku ia lakou e like me ko lakou makemake.
25 And so they seized fortified cities and fat soil. And they possessed houses filled with all kinds of goods, cisterns made by others, vineyards, and olive groves, and fruit trees in abundance. And they ate and were satisfied. And they were fattened, and they abounded with delights from your great goodness.
A lawe pio iho la lakou i na kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa, a me ka aina maikai, a lilo iho la ia lakou na hale i lako i kela mea maikai keia mea maikai, na punawai i eliia, na mala waina, a mo na mala olive a me na laau hua he nui: a ai iho la lakou a maona, a momona hoi, a olioli iho la lakou i kou hoomaikai nui ana.
26 But they provoked you to wrath, and they withdrew from you, and they cast your law behind their backs. And they killed your prophets, who contended with them so that they might return to you. And they committed great blasphemies.
Aka, ku e aku la lakou a kipi aku ia oe, a kapae hoi i kou kanawai ma ko lakou kua, luku iho la lakou i kau poe kaula, ka poe i ao pinepine aku ia lakou e hoohuli ia lakou i ou la, a hana iho la lakou i na mea hoonaukiuki loa.
27 And so you gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they afflicted them. And in the time of their tribulation, they cried out to you, and from heaven you heard them. And in accord with your great compassion, you gave to them saviors, who might save them from the hand of their enemies.
No ia mea, haawi aku la oe ia lakou iloko o ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi, i hoopopilikia ua poe la ia lakou; aka, i ka wa o ko lakou pilikia ana, kahea aku la lakou ia oe, a hoolohe mai no oe mai ka lani mai; a e like me kou lokomaikai he nui no, haawi mai no oe ia lakou i poe hoola, nana lakou i hoopakele ae mailoko mai o ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi.
28 But after they had rested, they turned back, so that they did evil in your sight. And you abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, and they possessed them. And they converted, and they cried out to you. And from heaven you heeded them, and you freed them many times, by your mercies.
Aka, i ka wa i malu ai lakou, huli ae la lakou e hana i ka mea mo imua o kou alo; alaila waiho aku la oe ia lakou iloko o ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi, i alii ai ua poe la maluna o lakou: aka, huli ae la lakou a kahea aku la ia oe, a hoolohe no oe mai ka lani mai: a hoopakele pinepine no oe ia lakou e like me kou aloha;
29 And you contended with them, so that they might return to your law. Yet truly, they acted in arrogance, and they did not listen to your commandments, and they sinned against your judgments, which, if a man does them, he shall live by them. And they withdrew from offering their shoulder, and they hardened their neck; neither would they listen.
A ao pinepine aku no hoi oe ia lakou e hoohuli ia lakou ma kou kanawai; aka, hana hookiekie lakou, aole hoi i hoolohe i kau mau kanoha; hana ino no lakou i kau mau olelo kupaa, (na mea e ola'i ke kanaka ke nana ia, ) haawi lakou i ka poohiwi kipi, a hooolea i ko lakou a-i, aole hoi i hoolohe.
30 And you continued to forbear them for many years. And you contended with them by your Spirit, through the hand of your prophets. And they did not listen, and so you delivered them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.
Aka, hoomanawanui no oe ia lakou i na makahiki he nui no, a ao pinepine aku oe ia lakou me kou Uhane iloko o ka poe kaols; aole nae i haliu mai ko lakou pepeiao; nolaila haawi aku la oe ia lakou iloko o ka lima o na lahuikanaka o na aina.
31 Yet in your very many mercies, you did not cause them to be consumed, nor did you abandon them. For you are a compassionate and lenient God.
Aole nae oe i hoopau loa ia lakou no kou lokomaikai he nui no, aole hoi i haalele oe ia lakou; no ka mea, he Akua lokomaikai no oe a me ke aloha.
32 Now therefore, our great God, strong and terrible, who keeps covenant and mercy, may you not avert your face from all the hardship that has found us, we and our kings, and our leaders, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and all the people, from the days of king Assur, even to this day.
Ano hoi, e ko makou Akua, ke Akua nui, mana, a hooweliweli, e malama ana i ka berita a me ka lokomaikai, mai mauao mai oe he uuku ka popilikia a pau i hiki mai la maluna o makou nei, maluna o ko makou poe alii, maluna o na luna o makou, a maluna o ko makou poe kahuna, a maluna o na kaula o makou, maluna o ko makou poe makua, a maluna hoi o kou poe kanaka a pau, mai na la mai o na'lii o Asuria a hiki i keia la.
33 For you are just, concerning all things that have overwhelmed us. For you have done truth, but we have acted impiously.
Ua hala ole no nae oe ma na mea a pau i hiki mai la maluna o makou; no ka mea, ua hana no oe ma ka pololei, a o makou ka i hana hewa.
34 Our kings, our leaders, our priests, and our fathers have not done your law, and they have not been attentive to your commandments and your testimonies, to which you have testified among them.
A o ko makou poe alii, ko makou poe luna, ko makou poe kahuna, a me ko makou poe makua, aole lakou i malama i kou kanawai, aole hoi i hoolohe i kau mau kauoha a me kau mau oleloao au i ao pinepine mai ai ia lakou.
35 And they have not served you, in their kingdoms and with your many good things, which you gave to them, and in the very wide and fat land, which you delivered into their sight, nor did they return from their most wicked pursuits.
No ka mea, aole i hookauwa lakou nau ma ko lakou aupuni, a ma kou lokomaikai nui au i haawi mai ai ia lakou, a ma ka aina nui a momona au i waiho mai ai imua o lakou; aole hoi i huli ae lakou mai ka lakou hana hewa ana'ku.
36 Behold, we ourselves this day are servants. And the land, which you gave to our fathers so that they might eat its bread and have its good things, we ourselves are servants within it.
Eia hoi, i keia la, he poe kauwa makou, a o ka aina au i haawi mai ai i ko makou poe kupuna e ai i ka hua ona a me kona maikai, ea, he poe kauwa no makou maluna ona.
37 And its fruits are multiplied for the kings, whom you have set over us because of our sins. And they rule over our bodies, and over our cattle, according to their will. And we are in great tribulation.
A e kau mai ana maluna ona ka hookupu nui ana i na'lii au i hoonoho ai maluna o makou no ko makou hewa; a e alii ana lakou maluna o ko makou mau kino, a me ko makou poe holoholona, e like me ko lakou makemake, a iloko no makou o ka popilikia nui.
38 Therefore, concerning all of these things, we ourselves are forming and writing a covenant, and our leaders, our Levites, and our priests are signing it.”
No keia mea a pau ke hoohiki nei makou i mea oiaio, a kakau iho no hoi, a na ko makou poe luna, na Levi, a me na kahuna o makou e kau i ka sila o paa ai.
