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.
Ke len se aklongoul akosr in malem sacna, mwet Israel elos toeni in lalo. Elos nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa ac filiya fohkfok fin sifalos, mwe akkalemye asor lalos ke ma koluk lalos.
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.
Na elos su ma in fwil nutin Israel na pwaye, elos srelosla liki mwetsac nukewa, ac elos tuyak ac fahkak ma koluk lalos ac ma koluk lun mwet matu lalos meet ah.
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.
Ke elos tu na, Book in Ma Sap lun LEUM GOD lalos ritiyuk nu selos ke lusen ao tolu, ac ke ao tolu tokoyang elos fahkak ma koluk lalos ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD lalos.
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.
Oasr acn se loangyak nu sin mwet Levi, na mwet inge elos tuyak fac: Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani ac Chenani. Elos pre ke pusra lulap nu sin LEUM GOD lalos.
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.
Mwet Levi inge: Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, ac Pethahiah, elos ikasla pacl in alu ac fahk, “Tuyak ac kaksakin LEUM GOD lowos; Kaksakunul nwe tok ma pahtpat! Lela mwet nukewa in kaksakin Inel wolana Finne kaksak lasr tia ku in sun lupan kaksak fal nu sel.”
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.
Na mwet Israel elos pre ac fahk: “O kom, LEUM GOD kom mukefanna LEUM GOD. Kom orala kusrao ac itu nukewa inkusrao. Kom orala finmes ac ma nukewa fac, oayapa meoa ac ma nukewa loac. Kom asang moul nu sin ma nukewa. Ku nukewa ma oan inkusrao pasrla ac alu nu sum.
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.
Kom, LEUM GOD, sulella Abram Ac pwanulla liki acn Ur in Babylonia. Kom ekulla inel nu ke Abraham.
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.
Kom konauk lah el inse pwaye nu sum, Ac kom orala sie wulela inmasrlom el. Kom wulela tuh kom fah sang facl lun mwet Canaan, Ac facl lun mwet Hit ac mwet Amor, Facl lun mwet Periz, mwet Jebus, ac mwet Girgas, Nu sel, tuh fwil natul in muta we. Kom oru oana wuleang lom, mweyen kom suwohs.
9 And thou sawest the affliction of our fathers in Egypt: and thou didst hear their cry by the Red Sea.
“Kom liye lupan keok lun mwet matu lasr in acn Egypt. Kom lohng ke elos pang nu sum sisken Meoa Srusra.
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.
Kom orala mwenmen usrnguk lain tokosra, Lain mwet fulat lal ac mwet in facl sel, Mweyen kom etu lupan akkeokyeyen mwet lom. Pwengpeng lom in pacl sac srakna oan nwe misenge.
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.
Kom sralik inkof uh ye mutalos Ac pwanulos sasla fin acn pao. Mwet su ukwalos elos walomla in kof loal Oana sie eot tilla in meoa pulkulak.
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.
Kom pwanulos ke sie pukunyeng ke len, Ac ke fong kom tolak inkanek lalos ke e.
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.
Kom tufoki liki inkusrao nu fineol Sinai. Kom sramsram nu sin mwet lom Ac sang nu selos ma sap wowo ac mwe luti suwohs.
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.
Kom luti nu selos in liyaung len Sabbath mutal lom, Ac kom sang ma sap lom ac oakwuk lom nu selos sel Moses, mwet kulansap lom.
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.
“Ke elos masrinsral, kom kitalos bread inkusrao me. Ke elos malu, kom aksororye kof nimalos ke eot uh me. Ac kom fahk tuh elos in eis selos facl se su kom Wuleang tuh kom fah sang nu selos.
16 But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks and hearkened not to thy commandments.
Tusruktu mwet matu lasr meet ah elos inse fulatak ac likkeke Ac tia lungse akos ma sap lom.
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.
Elos tiana akos. Elos mulkunla Orekma usrnguk nukewa kom tuh oru. Ke sripen inse fulat lalos elos sulela sie mwet kol In folokunulosla nu ke moul in mwet kohs in acn Egypt. Tuh kom sie God su nunak munas. Kom kulang ac pakoten, ac tia sa in kasrkusrak. Yoklana lungkulang lom, ac kom tiana siselosla.
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:
Elos orala sie ma sruloala in luman soko cow mukul fusr, Ac fahk mu el pa god se su kololos me liki Egypt! Ke elos oru ouinge elos arulana akkasrkusrakye kom, LEUM GOD!
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.
Tuh kom tiana siselosla ingo in acn mwesis, Tuh pakoten lom yoklana. Kom tiana eisla pukunyeng ac e, Su akkalemye inkanek lalos ke len ac ke fong.
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.
Ke ngun wo lom, kom fahkang nu selos ma elos in oru. Kom kitalos manna, ac sang kof nimalos.
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.
Ke yac angngaul lalos in acn mwesis Kom sang enenu lalos nukewa: Nuknuk lalos tiana kulawi, Ac nialos tiana fafwak.
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.
“Kom sang kutangla nu selos fin mutunfacl ac tokosrai puspis, Ke acn su oan siskalos. Elos eisla acn Heshbon, yen Sihon el leum we, Ac acn Bashan, yen Og el tokosra we.
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.
Kom sang tulik puspis natulos, oana itu inkusrao, Ac oru tuh elos in eisla ac muta fin acn Su kom tuh wuleang nu sin mwet matu lalos mu kom ac sang nu selos.
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.
Elos eisla acn Canaan. Kom kutangla fin mwet su muta we. Kom sang ku nu sin mwet lom in oru kutena ma elos lungse oru Nu sin mwet Canaan ac tokosra nukewa lalos.
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.
Mwet lom elos sruokya siti kuhlusyukyak ke pot ku, Oayapa acn wo fohk we, ac lohm we sessesla ke mwe kasrup, Ac lufin kof pukpukyak tari, Sak olive, sak oswe fokinsak, ac ima in grape. Elos mongo nwe ke na elos kihpi ac fatelik. Elos engankin ma wo nukewa kom sang nu selos.
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.
“A mwet lom elos seakos ac lain kom. Elos ngetla liki Ma Sap lom. Elos uniya mwet palu su fahkak kas in sensenkakinulos, Su fahk nu selos in foloko nu yurum. Pacl puspis elos fahk kas in akkolukye kom,
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.
Pwanang kom fuhlela tuh mwet lokoalok lalos in kutangulosla ac leum faclos. Ke pacl upa nu selos, elos pang nu sum tuh kom in kasrelos, Ac kom topkolos inkusrao me. Ke pakoten lulap lom kom supwama mwet kol nu yorolos, Su molelosla liki mwet lokoalok lalos.
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.
Ke sifil oasr misla inmasrlolos, elos sifilpa oru ma koluk, Ac kom sifilpa fuhlelosyang nu inpoun mwet lokoalok lalos. Sruk ke pacl elos auliyak ac siyuk kom in molelosla, Kom lohng inkusrao me, ac pacl nu ke pacl Kom molelosla ke pakoten lulap lom.
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.
Kom sensenkakinulos tuh elos in akos mwe luti lom, A ke nunak fulat lalos, elos likinsai ma sap lom, Sruk karinganang Ma Sap lom pa inkanek in moul. Ke keke in nunak ac likkeke lalos, elos tiana akos.
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.
Yac nu ke yac, kom mongfisrasr in akesmakinyalos. Kom pirik mwet palu lom in kaskas nu selos, A mwet lom elos tiana lohng, Ouinge kom eisalosyang nu inpoun mutunfacl saya.
31 Yet in thy very many mercies thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them: because thou art a merciful and gracious God.
Ne ouinge, ke sripen yokna pakoten lom Kom tiana siselosla ku kunauselosla. Kom sie God kulang ac pakoten!
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.
“O God, kom God lasr, su arulana fulat Ac mangol, ac yoklana ku lom! Kom akpwayeye wuleang ac lungkulang lom. Oe in pacl se tokosra lun acn Assyria elos akkeokye kut Nwe misenge, arulana yohk keok lasr! Tokosra lasr, mwet kol lasr, mwet palu ac mwet tol lasr, Mwet matu lasr meet ah, ac mwet lasr nukewa wi sun keok. Esam na keok lulap lasr!
33 And thou art just in all things that have come upon us: because thou hast done truth, but we have done wickedly.
Fal na lah kom kalyei kut. Kom suwosna, kut ne oru ma koluk.
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.
Mwet matu lasr meet, oayapa tokosra lasr, mwet kol ac mwet tol lasr Elos tiana liyaung Ma Sap lom. Elos tiana porongo ma kom sapkin ac kas in sensenkakin lom.
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.
Kom tuh akinsewowoye tokosra su leum fin mwet lom Ke elos muta ke sie acn yohk ac wo fohk we, ma kom sang nu selos; Tusruktu elos tiana forla liki orekma koluk lalos in kulansupwekom.
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.
Na inge kut mwet kohs in facl se kom tuh ase nu sesr, Aok, in acn wowo se inge su kite kut mwe mongo.
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.
Kutena ma kosrani ke acn uh, ma na nu sin tokosra uh, Su kom oakiya facsr ke sripen kut orekma koluk. Elos oru oana lungse lalos nu sesr ac nu sin kosro natusr, Ac kut muta in ongoiya lulap!”
38 And because of all this we ourselves make a covenant, and write it, and our princes, our Levites, and our priests sign it.
Ke sripen ma sikyak inge nukewa, kut mwet Israel insese in simusla sie wuleang ku, na mwet kol lasr ac mwet Levi ac mwet tol lasr elos filiya sil lalos kac.
