Nehemiah 9
1 And in the four and twentieth day of the month the children of Israel came together with fasting and with sackcloth, 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 the children of Israel separated themselves from every stranger: and they 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 rose up to stand: and they read in the book of the law of the Lord their God, four times in the day, and four times they confessed, and adored the Lord 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 And there stood up upon the seep of the Levites, Josue, and Bani, and Cedmihel, Sabania, Bonni, Sarebias, Bani, and Chanani: and they cried with a loud voice to the Lord 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 Josue and Cedmihel, Bonni, Hasebnia, Serebia, Oduia, Sebnia, and Phathahia, said: Arise, bless the Lord your God from eternity to eternity: and blessed be the high name of thy glory with 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 thyself, O Lord alone, thou hast made heaven, and the heaven of heavens, and all the host thereof: the earth and all things that are in it: the seas and all that are therein: and thou givest life to all these things, and the host of heaven adoreth 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, O Lord God, art he who chosest Abram, and broughtest him forth out of the fire of the Chaldeans, 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 thou didst find his heart faithful before thee: and thou madest a covenant with him, to give him the land of the Chanaanite, of the Hethite, and of the Amorrhite, and of the Pherezite, and of the Jebusite, and of the Gergezite, to give it to his seed: and thou hast fulfilled thy words, because thou art just.
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 thou didst hear 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 thou shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharao, and upon all his servants, and upon the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them: and thou madest thyself a name, as it is at 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 passed through the midst of the sea on dry land: but their persecutors thou threwest into the depth, as a stone into 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 in a pillar of a cloud thou wast their leader by day, and in a pillar of Are by night, that they might see the way by which they went.
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 Thou camest down also to mount Sinai, and didst speak with them from heaven, and thou gavest them right judgments, and the law of truth, ceremonies, and good precepts.
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 Thou madest known to them thy holy sabbath, and didst prescribe to them commandments, and ceremonies, and the law by the hand of 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 heaven in their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock in their thirst, and thou saidst to them that they should go in, and possess the land, upon which thou hadst lifted up thy hand to give it 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 and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks 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 they would not hear, and they remembered not thy wonders which thou hadst done for them. And they hardened their necks, and gave the head to return to their bondage, as it were by contention. But thou, a forgiving God, gracious, and merciful, longsuffering, and full of compassion, didst not forsake them.
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 also to themselves a molten calf, and had said: This is thy God, that brought thee out of Egypt: and hail committed great blasphemies:
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 many mercies, didst not leave them in the desert: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day to lead them in the way, and the pillar of fire by night to shew them the way by which 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 And thou gavest them thy good Spirit to teach them, and thy manna thou didst not withhold from their mouth, and thou 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 Forty years didst thou feed them in the desert, and nothing was wanting to them: their garments did not grow old, and their feet were not worn.
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 nations, and didst divide lots for them: and they possessed the land of Sehon, and the land of the king of Hesebon, and the land of Og king of Basan.
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 thou didst multiply their children as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them to the land concerning which thou hadst said to their fathers, that they should go in and 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 came and possessed the land, and thou didst humble before them the inhabitants of the land, the Chanaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as it pleased them.
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 goods: cisterns made by others, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: and they ate, and were filled, and became fat, and abounded with delight 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 provoked thee to wrath, and departed from thee, and threw thy law behind their backs: and they killed thy prophets, who admonished them earnestly to return to thee: and they were guilty of great blasphemies.
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 hands of their enemies, and they afflicted them. And in the time of their tribulation they cried to thee, and thou heardest from heaven, and according to the multitude of thy tender mercies thou gavest them saviours, to save them from the hands of their enemies.
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 after they had rest, they returned to do evil in thy sight: and thou leftest them in the hand of their enemies, and they had dominion over them. Then they returned, and cried to thee: and thou heardest from heaven, and deliveredst them many times in 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 didst admonish them to return to thy law. But they dealt proudly, and hearkened not to thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, 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 thou didst forbear with them for many years, and didst testify against them by thy spirit by the hand of thy prophets: and they heard not, and thou didst deliver them into the hand of the people 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 Yet in thy very many mercies thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them: because thou art a merciful and gracious 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 Now therefore our God, great, strong and terrible, who keepest covenant and mercy, turn not away from thy face all the labour which hath come upon us, upon our kings, and our princes, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and all the people from the days of the king of Assur, until 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 And thou art just in all things that have come upon us: because thou hast done truth, but 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 Our kings, our princes, our priests, and our fathers have not kept thy law, and have not minded thy commandments, and thy testimonies which thou hast testified among 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 kingdoms, and in thy manifold goodness, which thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land, which thou deliveredst before them, nor did they return from their most wicked devices.
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 ourselves this day are bondmen: and the land, which thou gavest our fathers, to eat the bread thereof, and the good things thereof, and we ourselves are servants 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 the fruits thereof grow up for the kings, whom thou hast set over us for our sins, and they have dominion over our bodies, and over our beasts, according to their will, and we are in great tribulation.
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 ourselves make a covenant, and write it, and our princes, our Levites, and our priests sign it.
