Nehemiah 9
1 On the twenty-fourth day of this same month, the Israelites met together, fasting and wearing sackcloth, with dust on their heads.
Amo oubiga eso 24 amo Isala: ili dunu huluane da ilia wadela: i houba: le da: i dioi olelema: ne, ha: i mae nawane gilisi. Ilia da ga fi dunu amoga afafai dagoi. Ilia da wadela: i eboboi abula idiniginisi amola ilia da: i dioi olelema: ne, osobo gulu ilia dialuma da: iya legesu. Amalalu, ilia da wa: legadole, ilia wadela: i hou amola ilia aowalali ilia wadela: i hou hamoi fofada: i.
2 Those of Israelite ancestry separated themselves from the foreigners, and stood to confess their sins and those of their forefathers.
3 They spent three hours standing there reading the Book of the Law of the Lord their God, and another three hours confessing their sins and worshiping the Lord their God.
Amo eso ilia da biyaduyale momogili, momogi afae amoga ilia da ilia Hina Gode Ea Sema idibi nabalu. Amalalu, momogi afae eno ganodini ilia da ilia wadela: i hou fofada: nanu. Amola ilia da ilia Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu.
4 The Levites stood on the stage and called out loudly to the Lord their God. (Their names were Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani.)
Lifai dunu amoga leloma: ne, fafai gagui dialebe ba: i. Amoga Yesua, Ba: inai, Ga: demiele, Siebanaia, Banai, Sielibaia, Houda: ia, Siebanaia, amola Bedahaia, amoga lelebe ba: i. Ilia dunu huluane nabima: ne, Hina Godema sia: ne gadosu.
5 Then the Levites announced: “Stand up and praise the Lord your God who lives eternally: ‘May who you are and your glory be blessed, and may you be lifted up above all blessing and praise.’” (The names of the Levites were Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah.)
Amalalu, Lifai dunu da dunu huluane Godema nodoma: ne sia: i. Amo Lifai dunu ilia dio da Yesua, Ga: demiele, Ba: inai, Hasiabena: ia, Sielibaia, Houda: ia, Siebanaia amola Bedahaia. Ilia da amane sia: i, “Wa: legadole, dilia Hina Godema mae fisili, eso huluane Ema nodonanoma. Dunu huluanedafa da Ea Dio gaguia gadole, nodonanumu da defea. Be E da Hadigidafaba: le, osobo bagade dunu ilia da Ema nodosu hamomu da defele hame ba: sa.”
6 They prayed, “Only you are the Lord. It was you who made the sky, the heavens with all their stars, the land and everything on it, the seas and everything in them. You give life to all of them, and all the heavenly beings worship you.
Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu da Godema amane sia: ne gadoi, “Hina Gode! Di fawane da Godedafa. Di fawane da mu amola gasumuni amo ganodini diala amo hahamoi. Di da osobo bagade amola hano wayabo bagade hahamoi. Di da liligi huluane amoma esalusu i dagoi. Hebene soge ganodini, gasa bagade fi da Dima beguduli, nodone sia: ne gadosa.
7 You are the Lord, the God who chose Abram, who led him out of Ur of the Chaldeans and named him Abraham.
Di, Hina Gode, da A: ibala: me ilegei. E da ea moilai Ba: bilone soge amo ganodini esalu. Be Di da e gadili oule asili, ea dio afadenene, A:ibalaha: me dio asuli.
8 You knew he would be faithful to you, and made an agreement with him to give him and his descendants the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Jebusites, and Girgashites. You kept your promise, because you do what is right.
Dia ba: loba A: ibalaha: me da Dima dafawaneyale dawa: su dunu ba: i. Di da soge ema imunu sia: i. Amo da Ga: ina: ne dunu, Hidaide dunu, A:moulaide dunu, Belesaide dunu, Yebiusaide dunu amola Gegasiaide dunu, amo dunu ilia soge gagui huluane, A:ibalaha: me egaga fi amo ganodini esaloma: ne, ema imunu sia: i. Amola dia imunu sia: i, hamoi dagoi ba: i. Bai Di da mae fisili didili hamosa.
9 You saw how much our forefathers were suffering in Egypt. You heard their cries for help at the Red Sea.
Ninia aowalali ilia se nabasu Idibidi soge ganodini, amo Di da ba: i dagoi. Amola ilia Maga: me Hano degemusa: fidima: ne wele sia: i, amo Di da nabi dagoi.
10 You performed miraculous signs and wonders against Pharaoh, all his officials, and all his people of his land, for you recognized how arrogantly they treated our forefathers. You created a wonderful reputation for yourself that people still recognize to this day.
Di da Idibidi hina bagade, ea fidisu dunu amola ea fi dunu, ilia Dia Isala: ili fi banenesiba: le, amo hou hedofamusa: , gasa bagade musa: hame ba: su dawa: digima: ne olelesu hou hamoi dagoi. Di da Dia fi dunu ilia dio gaguia gadoi, amola Dia Dio da wali eso, gadodafa ba: sa.
11 You split the sea apart in front of them so that they could walk through it on dry ground. But you threw their pursuers into the depths of the sea, like stones thrown into raging waters.
Di da Dia fi degemusa: , hano wayabo bagade mogili, Dia dunu da hano hafoga: i logoga hahawane asi. Ili medole legemusa: fa: no bobogei dunu da hanoga na dagoi ba: i. Hano gafului amoga igi gela dasu defele, ilia da hanoga gela sa: i dagoi.
12 You led them with a column of cloud during the day, and a column of fire at night, showing them the way which they should go.
Di da mu mobi agoai mogomogoi amoga esoga ili bisili oule asi. Amola gasi ganodini, Di da lalu sawa: amoga ilia logo hadigisu.
13 You descended on Mount Sinai. You spoke to them from heaven. You gave them right ways to live, true laws, and good regulations and commandments.
Sainai Goumia, Di da Hebene fisili, ilima sia: musa: gudu sa: i. Di da sema noga: iwane amola olelesu noga: i, ilima i.
14 You explained your holy Sabbath to them. You gave them commandments and regulations and laws through your servant Moses.
Di da, ilia da Dia Sa: bade eso huluane noga: le ouligima: ne, sia: i. Amola, ilima alofele ima: ne, Dia da Dia hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese ema Dia Sema i.
15 When they were hungry you gave them bread from heaven, and when they were thirsty you brought water out of the rock for them. You told them to go and take ownership of the land which you had sworn to give them.
Ilia ha: iba: le, Dia da Hebene soge amoga ha: i manu i, amola ilia hano hanaiba: le, hano dili moma: ne, igi amoga hano dili i. Di da soge amo ilima imunu sia: i, ilia da amo lale, noga: le ouligima: ne sia: i.
16 But they and our forefathers acted arrogantly and became stubborn, and didn't pay attention to your commands.
Be ninia aowalali da gasa fiwane heda: le, hame nabasu hou hamosu. Ilia da Dia sia: i nabimu higasu.
17 They refused to listen to you, and forgot about all the miracles you did for them. They became obstinate and decided to choose themselves a leader to take them back to slavery in Egypt. But you are a forgiving God, gracious and merciful, slow to get angry, and full of trustworthy love. You did not give up on them,
Ilia da hame nabasu. Ilia da Dia gasa bagade fidisu hou gogolei dagoi. Ilia gasa fi hamobeba: le, ilisu da hina dunu amo Idibidi sogega se dabe hawa: hamomusa: gini, ili bisili oule masa: ne ilegei dagoi. Be Di da gogolema: ne olofosu bagade dawa: Di da haha bagade, asigidafa amola hedolo hame ougisa. Amaiba: le, Di da ninia aowalali hame yolesi.
18 even when they made themselves a metal calf and said, ‘This is your god who led you out of Egypt,’ and committed terrible blasphemies.
Ilia da ogogosu ‘gode’ agoaila liligi gouliga hamoi. Ilia giadofale amo ogogosu ‘gode’ da ili bisili, Idibidi sogega fisili gadili oule asi dagoi, sia: i. Hina Gode! Ilia da Dia dio wadela: lesi dagoi.
19 But you because you are so merciful didn't abandon them in the desert. The column of cloud didn't stop guiding them during the day, and the column of fire continued to light their way at night.
Be Di da amo dunu wadela: i hafoga: i soge ganodini hame yolesi. Bai Dia hou da asigidafa. Di da mu mobi agoai mogomogoi amola lalu sawa: amola amo liligi hame samogei. Eso amola gasi ganodini, Di da logo ilima noga: le olelesu.
20 You gave your good Spirit to teach them. You did not stop feeding them with your manna, and you gave them water when they were thirsty.
Dia hahawane hou amoga, di da ilima agoane hamoma: ne adoi. Di da ilima “ma: na” ha: i manu amola hano moma: ne iasu.
21 You took care of them for forty years in the desert. Their clothes didn't wear out, they didn't want for anything. Their feet didn't even swell up!
Ode 40 amoga ilia da wadela: i hafoga: i soge amo ganodini esaloba, Di da ilia hanai liligi defele fidi. Ilia abula da hamedafa abubula ahoasu, amola ilia emo da hame se nabasu amola hame fofasu.
22 You gave them kingdoms and nations; you assigned their borders. They took control of the land of Sihon, king of Heshbon, and of Og, king of Bashan.
Dia da logo doasiba: le, ilia da dunu fi bagade amo hasalasi. Ilia Hesiabone soge fi (ilia hina bagade da Saihone galu) amola Ba: isia: ne soge fi (ilia hina bagade da Oge galu) amo hasasali.
23 You made their descendants as countless as the stars of heaven, and led them to the land you had promised their fathers they would enter and possess.
Di da ilima mano amo ilia idi da gasumuni mu amo ganodini aligi ilia idi defele ba: i, amo ilima i. Dia fidibiba: le, ilia da soge amo Di da ilia aowalali ilima imunu ilegele sia: i, amo ilia da hasalali, ganodini gesowale fi.
24 Their descendants went in and took over the land. Right in front of them you conquered the Canaanites who lived there, handing over their kings and people so they could do with them whatever they wanted.
Ilia da Ga: ina: ne soge fi ili amo hasasali. Di da ilima gasa iabeba: le, ilia da ilia hanaiga, Ga: ina: ne dunu amola ilia hina bagade amoga hamosu.
25 They captured fortified cities and fertile land. They took over houses full of valuable things, water cisterns, vineyards, olive groves, and many fruit trees. They ate until they were full, and grew fat. They were so happy at how good you were to them.
Hina Gode! Dia fi dunu da gasa bagade gagili sali moilai amo lai dagoi. Ilia da osobo noga: idafa, diasu amo ganodini liligi noga: idafa ba: i, hano uli dogoi, olife ifa, ha: i manu ifa amola waini sagai amo bagohame lai. Ilia da ilia hanaiga ha: i nanu, ilia da: i da bagade alele, Dia iasu liligi noga: idafa ilia da hahawane lai.
26 But they completely rebelled against you. They tossed your Law over their shoulders. They killed your prophets who warned them to try and bring them back to you, and they committed terrible blasphemies.
Be Dia fi da sinidigili, Dia sia: hame nabasu. Ilia da Dia sema amo baligifa: su. Ilia da ilima sisasu olelesu dunu (balofede dunu) amo da ilia Dima sinidigili bu fa: no bobogema: ne sia: i, amo ilia da medole legesu. Eso bagohame amoga ilia da Dia Dio wadela: lesi.
27 So you handed them over to their enemies who treated them badly. In their suffering they cried out to you for help. But you heard their cries from heaven, and because you're so merciful you sent them leaders to save them from their enemies.
Amaiba: le, ilima ha lai da ilima hasalasima: ne, Di da logo doasi dagoi. Amogawi, ilia da se bagade nababeba: le, Dima fidima: ne wele sia: su. Dia da asigiba: le, ouligisu dunu ilima asunasi. Amo ouligisu dunu ilia da Dia fi ilima ha lai dunu ilima gaga: i dagoi.
28 However, as soon as they had peace, they went back to doing evil in your sight. So once more you handed them over to their enemies, who dominated them. They came back to you, and they cried out to you again. But you heard from heaven once more, and you saved them time and again because you are so merciful.
Be olofosu da bu doaga: loba, ilia da bu eno wadela: le hamoi. Amalalu, Di da ilima ha lai dunu amo ilima hasalasima: ne, Di da logo bu doasi. Be ilia da bu Gode Dima sinidigiloba, Di da Hebene ganodini ilia wele sia: su nabalu, Di da bagadewane asigiba: le, eso bagohame amoga Dia fi dunu bu gaga: i.
29 You warned them to come back to your Law, but they were arrogant. They ignored your commands, and sinned against your rules, which, as you previously said, ‘If people obey they will live by them.’ They obstinately turned their backs on you and refused to listen.
Ilia da Dia olelesu amoma noga: le fa: no bobogema: ne, Di da ilima sisasu olelei. Dia sema amo da esalusu logo olelesa. Be ilia da gasa fili, Dia Sema hamedafa nabasu.
30 You were patient with them for many years. You warned them by your Spirit through your prophets, but they didn't listen, so you handed them over to the other nations.
Ode bagohame, Di da ili sinidigima: ne gebewane sia: su, amola Dia balofede dunu ilima sia: ma: ne asunasisu. Be ilia da ge ga: i agoai galusu. Amaiba: le, Di da eno fi ilima hasalimusa: yolesi.
31 But because of your wonderful mercy you did not finish with them, and you did not abandon them, for you are a gracious and merciful God.
Be Dia asigidafa hou da bagadedafa. Amaiba: le, Di da amo dunu hame yolesi, amola hame wadela: lesi. Di da hahawane amola Asigidafa hou ea bai esala.
32 So now, our God, the great and powerful and awesome God who keeps his agreement of trustworthy love, please don't see as unimportant all the hardships that have happened to us, and to our kings and leaders, our priests and prophets, our forefather and all your people, from the time of the Assyrian kings of Assyria up till now.
“Gode! Ninia Gode! Di da gasa bagadedafa! Dia gasa bagade hou ba: beba: le, dunu huluane da Diba: le beda: be. Di da mae fisili, Dia Gousa: su hou defele hamonana. Asilia hina bagade da ninima hasalasili, amo ganini waha, amo eso huluane amoga ninia da se bagade nabasu. Ninia ouligisu hina dunu, ouligisu dunu, gobele salasu dunu, balofede dunu amola dunu huluane da se nabawane hahanisu. Amo Di mae gogolema.
33 But you have done what is right regarding everything that has happened to us. You have always acted faithfully, while we have done so much evil.
Di da ninima se dabe iasu da moloidafa. Ninia da wadela: i hou bagade hamosu. Be Dia moloidafa hou, Di da hame yolesi.
34 Our kings, our leaders, our priests, and our forefathers did not follow your Law, and they ignored your commands and regulations you ordered them to keep.
Ninia aowalali, hina bagade, fi ouligisu dunu amola gobele salasu dunu, amo da Dia sema amoma hame fa: no bobogesu. Ilia da Dia hamoma: ne sia: i amola Dia sisasu hamedafa nabasu.
35 But they, even during the time they had their own kingdom, with so many blessings you had given them in the wide and fertile land you had provided for them, even then they refused to serve you and would not turn from their evil ways.
Dia da hahawane fidibiba: le, Di da Dia fi dunuma soge bagade noga: idafa ilima i. Amola ilia da amo ganodini hahawane esalu. Amola, hina bagade da ili ouligisu. Be ilia da wadela: i hou fisili, Dima hawa: hamomu, amo hame hamosu.
36 Look at us now, slaves in the land you gave our forefathers to enjoy its fruit and all its good things. Look at us slaves here!
Amaiba: le, ninia da wali udigili se dabe hawa: hamosu dunu agoai, soge Di da musa: ninima i, amola amoga ninia ha: i manu faisa, amo soge ganodini esala.
37 The rich harvests of this land go to the kings you have placed over us because of our sins. They rule over our bodies and our cattle, doing whatever they want. We are suffering so much!”
Ninia da wadela: le hamoiba: le, eno fi hina bagade da nini ouligima: ne, Di da logo doasi. Wali ninia soge ganodini ha: i manu heda: le legeiya, huluane da ilima fawane iaha. Amola amo hina bagade da ilia hanaiga ninima amola ninia ohe ilima hamosa. Ninia da se bagade naba.”
38 In response the people declared, “Considering all this, we are making a solemn agreement, putting it in writing. It is sealed by our leaders, Levites, and priests.”
“Amo hou huluane da doaga: beba: le, ninia, Isala: ili dunu huluane, da amo sia: dedei hahamosa. Ninia ouligisu dunu, Lifai dunu amola gobele salasu dunu, amo da ilia dio dedene, amo sia: gobele salasu legei amoga ilegesa.”
