Nehemiah 9
1 And on the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them.
Te hla kah hnin kul neh hnin li vaengah tah Israel ca rhoek yaehnah neh, tlamhni neh, tingtun uh tih a soah laipi a phuluh.
2 And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all foreigners, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.
Te vaengah Israel kah tiingan tah kholong ca boeih taeng lamloh hoep uh tih pai uh. Amamih kah tholhnah neh a napa rhoek thaesainah te a phoe puei uh.
3 And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of Jehovah their God a fourth part of the day; and a fourth part they confessed, and worshipped Jehovah their God.
Amamih paihmuen ah pai uh tih a Pathen BOEIPA kah olkhueng cabu te hnin at ah voei li a tae uh. A tholhnah te voei li a phoe puei uh phoeiah a Pathen BOEIPA te a bawk uh.
4 Then stood up upon the platform of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, Chenani, and cried with a loud voice to Jehovah their God.
Te vaengah Levi Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Buni, Sherbiah, Bani, Kenanih tah kham ah pai tih a Pathen BOEIPA te ol a len la a khue khue.
5 And the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, Pethahiah, said, Stand up, bless Jehovah your God from eternity to eternity. And let [men] bless the name of thy glory, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.
Te phoeiah Levi Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hasabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, Pethahiah loh, “Thoo uh, nangmih kah Pathen Yahweh te khosuen lamloh kumhal duela uum uh, namah kah thangpomnah ming tah a yoethen pai tih yoethennah neh koehnah cungkuem soah a pomsang pai.
6 Thou art the Same, thou alone, Jehovah, who hast made the heaven of heavens, and all their host, the earth and all that is therein, the seas and all that is therein. And thou quickenest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.
Yahweh amah khaw namah ni. Nang namah bueng loh vaan phoeikah vaan khaw, vaan rhoek neh a caempuei boeih, diklai neh a so kah boeih, tuitunli neh a khuikah boeih te na saii. A cungkuem te na hing sak tih vaan caempuei khaw namah taengah bakop uh.
7 Thou art the Same, Jehovah Elohim, who didst choose Abram and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;
Namah he Yahweh Pathen ni. Abram te na coelh. Anih te Khalden Ur lamloh na khuen tih a ming te Abraham la na khueh pah.
8 and foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest the covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, — to give it to his seed; and thou hast performed thy words, for thou art righteous.
A thinko loh na mikhmuh ah a uepom te na hmuh dongah Kanaan, Khitti, Amori, Perizzi, Jebusi, Girgashi khohmuen te paek hamla anih taengah paipi na saii. Na dueng dongah a tiingan taengah paek ham khaw na ol te na pai puei.
9 And thou sawest the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red Sea;
Egypt ah a pa rhoek kah phacipphabaem te na hmuh. Carhaek tuili ah amih kah a pang te khaw na yaak coeng.
10 and didst shew signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants, and upon all the people of his land; for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them, and thou didst make thee a name, as it is this day.
Miknoek neh kopoekrhai te Pharaoh taengah khaw, a sal boeih taengah khaw, a khohmuen pilnam boeih taengah khaw na tueng sak coeng. Amih taengah a lokhak te na ming dongah tahae khohnin duela namah ming ham na saii.
11 And thou didst divide the sea before them, and they went through the midst of the sea on dry [ground]; and their pursuers thou threwest into the depths, as a stone into the mighty waters.
Tuitunli pataeng amih mikhmuh ah na phih tih tuitunli laklung lamloh laiphuei dongah kat uh. Tedae amih aka hloem rhoek te tui len khuiah lungto bangla a laedil la na voeih.
12 And thou leddest them in the day by a pillar of cloud, and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go.
Amih te khothaih ah cingmai tung neh na mawt tih, khoyin ah amih te hmai tung neh na tue dongah a longpuei ah cet uh.
13 And thou camest down on mount Sinai, and didst speak with them from the heavens, and gavest them right judgments and true laws, good statutes and commandments.
Sinai tlang ah na suntla tih amih te vaan lamloh na voek. Te vaengah amih te a thuem laitloeknah neh oltak olkhueng khaw, oltlueh neh a then olpaek te khaw na paek.
14 And thou madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and prescribedst for them commandments and statutes and a law, through Moses thy servant.
Namah kah cimcaihnah Sabbath te amih na ming sak tih olpaek, oltlueh neh olkhueng na sal Moses kut lamloh amih taengah na uen.
15 And thou gavest them bread from the heavens for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and didst say to them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them.
Amih kah khokha khuiah khaw amih te vaan lamkah buh na paek. A tuihalh khuiah amih te thaelpang khui lamkah tui na paek. Amih taengah khohmuen pang hamla kun ham khaw na thui pah. Te te amih taengah paek ham na kut na thueng coeng.
16 But they, our fathers, dealt proudly, and hardened their neck, and hearkened not to thy commandments,
Tedae amih neh a pa rhoek te lokhak uh tih a rhawn te a mangkhak sakuh. Te dongah na olpaek te hnatun uh pawh.
17 and refused to obey, neither were they mindful of thy wonders which thou hadst done among them; but hardened their neck, and in their rebellion made a captain to return to their bondage. But thou art a God ready to forgive, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and of great loving-kindness, and thou forsookest them not.
Hnatun ham a aal uh tih namah kah khobaerhambae te poek uh pawh. Te te amih taengah na saii dae a rhawn mangkhak uh tih, a boekoek neh amamih pinyennah la mael ham boeilu a tuek uh. Tedae namah tah khodawkngainah, thinphoei neh lungvatnah, thintoek aka ueh, sitlohnah boei neh sitlohnah la na om dongah amih te na hnoo pawh.
18 Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy god that brought thee up out of Egypt! and they had wrought great provocation,
Amamih ham mueihlawn vaitoca a saii uh vaengah pataeng khaw, “He tah Egypt lamloh nang aka khuen na pathen ni,” a ti uh dongah kokhahnah a len a saii uh.
19 yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness. The pillar of the cloud departed not from over them by day, to lead them on the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should go.
Namah tah na haidamnah len tih amih tekhosoek ah hnoo pawh. Longpuei ah amih mawt hamla khothaih ah amih hmaikah cingmai tung kha a nong moenih. Hmai tung loh khoyin ah amih te a tue tih longpuei ah te pongpa uh.
20 Thou gavest also thy good Spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.
Amih cangbam hamla na Mueihla then te na paek. Na manna te amih ka lamloh na hloh moenih. Amih kah tuihalh vaengah khaw amih te tui na paek.
21 Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness; they lacked nothing; their clothes grew not old, and their feet swelled not.
Amih te kum sawmli na cangbam tih khosoek ah a vawt uh moenih. A himbai khaw hmawn pawt tih a kho khaw phat uh pawh.
22 And thou gavest them kingdoms and peoples, and didst divide them by countries; and they possessed the land of Sihon, as well the land of the king of Heshbon, as the land of Og king of Bashan.
Amih te ram neh pilnam na paek tih a kaelcong lam khaw amih na phaeng. Te dongah Sihon khohmuen, Heshbon manghai khohmuen neh Bashan manghai Oga khohmuen te a pang uh.
23 And their children thou didst multiply as the stars of heaven, and thou broughtest them into the land concerning which thou didst say to their fathers that they should go in to possess it.
Amih koca rhoek te vaan kah aisi bangla na ping sak tih amih te khohmuen pakhat la na thak. Te te a napa rhoek taengah khaw kun sak ham neh pang sak ham na thui coeng.
24 And the children went in and possessed the land; and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, both their kings and the peoples of the land, that they might do with them as they would.
A ca rhoek te kun uh tih khohmuen te a pang uh. Te vaengah amih mikhmuh ah khohmuen kah khosa Kanaan rhoek te na kunyun sak. Te rhoek te a manghai khaw, khohmuen pilnam khaw, a kolonah bangla a taengah saii ham amih kut ah na paek.
25 And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all good things, wells digged, vineyards and olive-gardens, and fruit trees in abundance. And they did eat and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great goodness.
Te vaengah khopuei cakrhuet neh khohmuen laithen rhoek a loh uh. Thennah cungkuem aka bae im khaw, tuito a vueh tangtae, misurdum neh olive khaw, caak thing cungkuem la, a pang uh. A caak uh tih a cung uh phoeiah tah tha uh. Te dongah namah kah thennah neh muep hnae uh.
26 But they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets who testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations.
Te pataeng a koek tih nang te n'tloelh uh. Na olkhueng te a nam la a rhoe uh tih amih te namah taengla mael sak ham amih taengah aka laipai na tonghma rhoek te a ngawn uh phoeiah kokhahnah muep a saii uh.
27 And thou gavest them into the hand of their oppressors, and they oppressed them; and in the time of their distress, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from the heavens, and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their oppressors.
Te dongah amih te a rhal kut ah na paek tih amih te a daengdaeh uh. Tedae amih kah citcai tue ah tah namah taengah pang uh tih namah loh vaan lamkah na yaak. Te cakhaw na haidamnah a len neh amih te khangnah na paek tih amih te a rhal kut lamloh na khang.
28 But when they had rest, they did evil again before thee; and thou didst leave them in the hand of their enemies, and they had dominion over them; and again they cried unto thee, and thou heardest [them] from the heavens, and many times didst thou deliver them, according to thy mercies.
Te phoeiah amih te na mikhmuh ah boethae saii ham a muel la mael uh. Te dongah amih te a thunkha kut dongla na hnoo tih amih te a taemrhai uh. Te vaengah mael uh tih namah taengah a pang uh hatah namah loh vaan lamkah na yaak. A tue te yet khuiah amih te na haidamnah neh na huul.
29 And thou testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law; but they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thine ordinances (which if a man do, he shall live in them); and they withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.
Amih te na olkhueng dongla mael sak ham a taengah na rhalrhing sak. Tedae a lokhak uh dongah na olpaek neh na laitloeknah te hnatun uh pawh. Amih taengkah a tholh uh te hlang loh a vai tih amih taengah nunan a hing pah. Te vaengah laengpang a duen uh tih boe a koek uh dongah a rhawn mangkhak neh ol hnatun uh pawh.
30 And many years didst thou forbear with them, and testifiedst against them by thy Spirit through thy prophets; but they would not give ear: and thou gavest them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.
Amih te kum a sen na dangrhoek tih amih taengah na Mueihla neh na tonghma rhoek kut lamloh na rhalrhing dae hnakaeng uh pawh. Te dongah amih te diklai pilnam kut ah na paek.
31 Nevertheless for thy manifold mercies' sake, thou didst not make a full end of them nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.
Tedae na haidamnah a len dongah amih te a bawtnah hil na saii moenih. Namah te lungvatnah neh thinphoei Pathen la na om dongah amih te na hnoo moenih.
32 And now, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and loving-kindness, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the days of the kings of Assyria unto this day.
Te dongah kaimih kah Pathen tah boeilen hlangrhalh neh rhih om Pathen pawn ni. Paipi neh sitlohnah khaw a ngaithuen. Bongboepnah cungkuem he na mikhmuh ah a mailai moenih. Te te kaimih soah, kaimih kah manghai rhoek soah, kaimih kah mangpa soah, kaimih kah khosoih rhoek soah, kaimih kah tonghma rhoek soah, a pa rhoek soah, na pilnam boeih soah khaw Assyria manghai tue lamloh tahae khohnin duela ha tueng.
33 But thou art just in all that is come upon us; for thou hast acted according to truth, and we have done wickedly.
Kaimih taengla aka thoeng boeih soah khaw namah na dueng bal pueng. Oltak la na saii dongah ka boe uh coeng.
34 And our kings, our princes, our priests, and our fathers, have not performed thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them.
Ka manghai rhoek, ka mangpa rhoek, ka khosoih rhoek neh a pa rhoek long khaw na olkhueng te vai uh pawh. Amih taengah na rhalrhing sak bangla na olpaek taeng neh na olphong taengah khaw a hnatung uh moenih.
35 And they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land that thou didst set before them, neither turned they from their wicked works.
Amih te a ram khuiah khaw na thennah neh a taengah muep na paek. Khohmuen ah hubung neh lothen te amih mikhmuh ah na paek dae na taengah thothueng uh pawt tih a khoboe thae lamloh mael uh pawh.
36 Behold, we are servants this day, and the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are bondmen in it.
Kaimih tah tihnin ah sal la ka poeh uh coeng he. Khohmuen te khaw a thennah neh a thaih caak hamla a pa rhoek taengah na paek coeng dae kaimih tah a khuiah sal la ka om coeng he.
37 And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: and they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure; and we are in great distress.
Ka tholh uh dongah kaimih soah na khueh manghai rhoek ham tah a cangvuei khaw a bom pah. Te vaengah kaimih pum soah a taemrhai tih ka rhamsa soah a kolonah bangla a saiiuh. Te dongah citcai neh muep ka omuh.
38 And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, our Levites, [and] our priests are at the sealing.
