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.

Ana ikamo'ma 24ma hiankna zupa Israeli veamo'za ne'zana a'o nehu'za, hapa frete'za eri tru hu'naze.

2 Those of Israelite ancestry separated themselves from the foreigners, and stood to confess their sins and those of their forefathers.

Hagi ana Israeli vahe'mo'zama megi'a vahe'enema rutrago'ma ate'nazana, ana vahera zamatre'za e'naze. Ana nehu'za oti'za kumi'zamigura zamasunku nehu'za, korapa zamagehe'zama hu'naza havi zamavu zamava zanku'enena zamasunku hu'naze.

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.

Hagi 3'a auamofo agu'afi oti'ne'za Ra Anumzana zamagri Anumzamofo kasege avontafepinti'ma hampri zamiza nanekea antahi'naze. Ana hute'za ete 3'a auamofo agu'afina kumi'zami huama nehu'za, Ra Anumzamofona monora hunte'naze.

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.)

Hanki Livae naga'mo'zama manisga hu'nezama nenekema nehaza tratera, Jesua'ma Bani'ma Katmieli'ma Sebania'ma Buni'ene Kenani'ma hu'za ana tratera mani'ne'za ranke hu'za Ra Anumzana zamagra'a Anumzamofontega nunamuna hu'naze.

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.)

Anante Livae nagara Jesua'ma Kadmieli'ma Bani'ma, Hasabneia'ma, Serebia'ma, Hodia'ma, Sebania'ene Petahiaki hu'za amanage hu'za vea kevua zamasami'naze, otita Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzama mani vava Anumzamofo agi'a hentesga hiho. Hagi Ra Anumzamoka so'e Kagika'a ahentesga hune, tagrama keagafinti'ma huta e'inahu Anumza mani'nanema huta hu'zamo'a amuho hie.

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.

Kagrake Ra Anumzana mani'nane, Kagra monaramina tro nehunka, anazanke hunka onaga'ama me'nea monaramina tro nehunka, hanafi taminena tro hu'nane. Ama mopa tro nehunka, mopa agofetu'ma me'nea zantaminena tro hu'nane. Hage rintamina tro nehunka, hageri agu'afima me'nea zantaminena tro nehunka, maka zamofona zamasimura nezamine. Ana hu'nanke'za hampriga osu ankerontamima monafinkama mani'naza ankeromo'za zamare'nare'za Kagia ahentesga nehaze.

7 You are the Lord, the God who chose Abram, who led him out of Ur of the Chaldeans and named him Abraham.

Kagrake Ra Anumzana mani'nenka, Babiloni mopafi me'nea kuma Kaldia kaziga Uri mopareti Abramuna huhamprinka avre tiraminka ne-enka, Abrahamu'e hunka agia antemi'nana Anumza mani'nane. (Gen-Agaf 11:31, 17:5)

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.

Na'ankure agra maka agu'areti fatgo huno kavesigantegenka Kagra agrira hu hagerafi huvempage huntenka, kagripinti'ma henkama forehu nante anante'ma hu'za esaza vahera, Kenani vahe'ma, Hiti vahe'ma, Amori vahe'ma, Perizi vahe'ma, Jebusi vahe'ene Girgasi vahe'mokizmi mopa zamigahue hunka hunte'nane. Kagra fatgo Anumza mani'nanku, huvempama hu'nana keka'a eri otre'nane.

9 You saw how much our forefathers were suffering in Egypt. You heard their cries for help at the Red Sea.

Tagri tagehe'zama Isipima mani'nazage'za Isipi vahe'mo'zama tusi'a knazama zami'nazana zamage'nane. Zamagra koranke hagerinte'ma emani'ne'za zamazama hananegu'ma Kagritegama zavi krafama hazagenka, Kagra antahi zami'nane.

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.

Kagra ruzahu ruzahu kaguvazane avamezane hunka Feronte'ene eri'za vahe'are'ene ana maka Isipima mani'naza vahe'enena zamazeri haviza hu'nane. Na'ankure zamagrama Israeli vahe'ma zamazeri havizantfama hazazanku anara hu'nane. Ana nehunka Kagia erinte ama hu'nankeno, vahe'mo'za meninena Kagia ahentesga nehaze.

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.

Zamagra negazagenke hagerina refko hugantigama hankeno, amu'nompina ka fore hige'za hagege mopare vu'naze. Hianagi zamarotgoma hu'za aza vahera havema hiaza hunka timo'ma hankavemanetifi zamazeri atranke'za urami'naze.

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.

Ferura hampompi mani'nenka vugota huzmantenka vu'nane. Hagi kenagera tevenefake hampompi mani'nenka, remsa huzmantenka kana zamaveri hanke'za vu'naze.

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.

Hagi Sainai agonarera eraminka monafintira kea hunezaminka, fatgo huno knare'ma hu'nea tra ke'ne, kasegenena Kagra zami'nane.

14 You explained your holy Sabbath to them. You gave them commandments and regulations and laws through your servant Moses.

Kagra ruotage'ma hu'nea Sabati knaka'a zamagritera emeri ante ama' nehunka, amage anteho hunka tra kene kasegeka'a, eri'za vaheka'a Mosesena ami'nane. (Eks-Uti 20:8)

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.

Ne'zama ne'zanku'ma zamaga'ma netegenka monafinkati bretia nezaminka, tinku'ma zamavenesigenka, tina hankeno havefinti ege'za ne'naze. Hagi huvempama huzamantenka zamigahue hunkama hu'nana mopafi ufre'za erisanti hare'za mani'naze. Hanki tina omne'nege'za tinku zamave'nesigenka knare hunka havefinti tina erifore huzmi'nanke'za ne'naze.

16 But they and our forefathers acted arrogantly and became stubborn, and didn't pay attention to your commands.

Hianagi tagehe'mo'za zamavufaga ra nehazageno zamagu'amo'a hanavetige'za, kagri kasegea amagera onte'naze.

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,

Zamagra keka'a zamagesa ante'za nontahi'za, zamagri amunompima kaguva zantamima eri fore'ma hu'nana zankura zamagane kani'naze. Ana nehu'za zamefi hugami'za kea nontahi'za, ete kazokzo eri'zampi Isipi vanune hu'za mago kva ne' azeri oti'naze. Hianagi Kagra kumi atrente Anumza mani'nenka, kasunku hunezmantenka krimpa fru Anumza mani'nanankinka, kasunku hunezmantenka so'e kavukva nehunka, ame hunka krimpa ohenka mevava kavesizanu vahera kavesinentana Anumza mani'nane. E'ina hu'negu zamefira Kagra huozami'nane.

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.

Hagi Sainai agonafima mani'ne'za goli eri'za bulimakoa tro hu'za anange hu'naze, ama anumzana tagri anumzane hu'za nehu'za, Isipitima tavre'noma e'nea anumzane hu'za hu'naze. Ana nehu'za Anumzamoka kagi'a eri haviza hu'naze.

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.

Hianagi tusi'a kasunku huzmantenka hagege kokampina kamefira huzminka zamatranke'za ofri'naze. Feru'ma kama zamaveri huno nevia hampomo'a zamatreno ovigeno, kenage'ma remsa huno kama zamaveri'ma huno nevia teve nefake hampomo'a asura osu'ne.

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.

Kagra knare Avamuka'a huntankeno antahintahia zami'ne. Kagra mana ne'zana zaminke'za nevava nehazagenka, tinku'ma hagegema hazagenka tina zaminke'za ne'naze. (Eks-Uti 16, 17:1-7)

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!

Hanki 40'a kafumofo agu'afina hagege kokampina kegava huzmante'nanke'za mago zankura atupara osu'naze. Kukena zamimo'a tagato tagutura osigeno, zamagamo'a zoreno prora osu'ne. (Diu-Kas 8:4)

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.

Kagra zamaza hanke'za kini vahera hara hu zamagtere'za afete'ma mani'naza vahe mopazamia eri'naze. E'ina hu'negu Hesboni kini ne' Sihoni mopane Basani kini ne' Ogi mopanena eri nafa'a hu'naze.

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.

Ana nehunka zamagrira tusi mofavre naga zaminke'za, monafi hanafikna hazage'za hamprigara osu'naze. Ana nehunka zamafahe'ima huhampri zmante'nana mopafi zamavarenka ufre'nane.

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.

Hagi zamagehemo'za ufre'za Kenani mopa ome eri nafa'a hu'naze. Kagra zamaza hanke'za Kenani mopafima nemaniza vahera zamavaretre'naze. Kini vahe'zamine, ana mopafima nemaniza vahe'ene Kenani vahe'enena zamazampi zamavare antanke'za, nazanoma huzamanteku'ma hazazana amne huzamante'naze.

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.

Hagi hankavenentake keginama hu'naza ranra kumatamine, knare zantfama hu'nea mopanena hahu'za eneri'za, knare'nare zantamimo'ma avite'nea nontamine, ko'ma kafinte'naza tinkerinena eri nafa'a nehu'za, waini hozane, olivi zafa hozane, mago'a zafa raga hozanena rama'a eri nafa'a hu'naze. Zamagra tusi ne'za nene'za afovage nehu'za, tusi'a asomu'ma zamina zankura musenkase hu'naze.

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.

Hianagi zamagra keka'a nontahi'za ha' renegante'za, kasegeka'a zamefi humi'naze. Kagritegama ete rukrahe hu'za ehogu'ma hankave keagama zamasami'za kasnampa vaheka'a zamahe fri'naze. Ana nehu'za Kagri kagia tusiza hu'za huhaviza hu'naze.

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.

E'ina hu'nazagu ha' vahe'zami zamazampi zamavare antanke'za zamazeri haviza hu'naze. Hagi zamagrama zamatama e'neri'za, Kagritega krafage hazagenka monafinkati antahinezaminka, tusi kasuntagi zamantenka zamagu'ma vazi vahera huzmantanke'za e'za ha' vahe zamazampintira eme zamagu vazi'naze.

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.

Hianagi zamagrama mani fruma nehu'za, Kagri kavurera havi'zama hu'nea avu'ava zana ete hu'naze. Anama hazagenka zamatranke'za ha' vahezamimo'za kegava huzmantage'za ete Kagritegama krafagema hazagenka, Kagra monafinkati krafa ke'zamia nentahinka kasunku huzmantenka, maka zupa zamavaretere hu'nane.

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.

Hagi zamagrama rukrahe hu'za kasegeka'a amage antehogura hankave ke huzmante'nane. Hianagi zamavufaga ra nehu'za zamarimpamo'a hankavetige'za, keka'a ontahi'naze. Ana nehu'za vahe'mo'zama amage'ma ante'za so'e huzama maniga tra keka'a zamefi hunemi'za kumi hu'naze. Zamarimpamo'a hankavenetige'za zamefi hunegami'za, haviza hu'za keka'a amagera onte'naze.

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.

Hanki rama'a kafufina akohenka fru hunezmantankeno Avamuka'amo'a kasnampa vahe zamagipi huvazino zamasami'neanagi, ana nanekerera tagehe'za zamagesa ante'za ontahi'naze. E'ina hu'negu ha' vahe'mokizmi zamazampi zamavare ante'nane.

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.

Hianagi tusi'a kasunku hunezmantenka zamahe fananea nosunka, kamefira huozami'nane. Na'ankure Kagra fru hunka kasunku Anumza mani'nane.

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.

Hanki e'ina hu'negu tagri Anumzana tusi hihamukane hentofaza hunka hankavenentake Anumza mani'nenka, maka zupa kagrama huvempama hu'nana kegu kagesa nentahinka, kavesirante vava nehana Anumza mani'nane. E'ina hu'negu muse hugantonanki, ko'ma Asiria kini vahe'mo'zama tazeri havizama hu'nareti'ma eno meninte'ma egeta, kini nagatine kva vahetine pristi vahetine kasnampa vahe'ene tafahe'ine, ana maka vaheka'amota tusi'a knazamo eme tazeri havizantfa hu'ne.

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.

Hianagi e'i ana maka knazama tagrite'ma e'nea knafina Kagra fatgo kavukvaza hurante'nane. Hagi tagrama kumi'ma nehunkenka'a, huvempama hu'nana keka'a amage ante fatgo hunka taza hu'nane.

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.

Hagi kini vahetimo'zane kva vahetimo'zane pristi nagatimo'zane, tafahe'mozanena Kagri kasegea amagera onte'naze. Kagrama hihoma hunka huzamante'nana nanekene, koro kema huzamante'nana nanekea zamagesa ante'za ontahi'naze.

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.

Ana hu'nazanagi asomu huzamantenka kini vahera zaminke'za kegava huzamante'naze. Ana nehunka knare huno masavenkema hu'nea ra mopakrerfa zami'nane. Hianagi ana zankura zamagesa nentahi'za, Kagrira monora hunegante'za kefo zamavu zamavama nehaza zana netre'za ete rukrahera hu'za Kagritera ome'naze.

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!

Hianagi menina knare huno masavenentake mopa tafahe'ina zaminke'za mani'ne'za zafa rgaramine knare'nare ne'zana ne'nazanagi, ama ana mopafina tagra kazokzo eri'za vahe menina mani'none.

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!”

Na'ankure tagra kumi hu'nona nona'a, ru vahe kinima huzamantanke'zama ezama eme kegavama hurante'naza kini vahe'mo'za, mopatifinti'ma knare'nare ne'zama hamarona ne'zana zamagrake'za eri'naze. Hagi tagri'ene afu nagatinena kegava hurante'neza, nazano tagritema hunaku'ma haza zana, amne hu'naze. Ana hazageta tusi'a knazampi mani'none.

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.”

Hanki ama ana zantamima refko'ma huta kevagamareteta, mago tarimpa huta Ra Anumzamofo kasege amage antegahune huta mago kea anakiteta avompi krente'none. Ana hunke'za kva vahetimo'zane Livae nagatimo'zane pristi nagatimo'za ana avomofo agofetura zamagi krentetere hu'za ana avona eri hankaveti'naze.
