Nehemiah 1
1 The words of Nehemiah the sonne of Hachaliah. In ye moneth Chisleu, in the twentieth yeere, as I was in the palace of Shushan,
Pa inge takinyen orekma yohk su Nehemiah, wen natul Hacaliah, el orala. Ke malem in Kislev in yac aklongoul ma Artaxerxes el tokosra fulat lun Persia, nga, Nehemiah, muta Susa, siti fulat lun acn Persia.
2 Came Hanam, one of my brethren, he and the men of Iudah, and I asked them concerning the Iewes that were deliuered, which were of the residue of the captiuitie, and concerning Ierusalem.
Hanani, sie sin tamulel luk, el wi u se tuku Judah me, ac nga siyuk selos ke acn Jerusalem ac ke mwet Jew wiasr su folokla liki sruoh in acn Babylonia.
3 And they sayde vnto me, The residue that are left of the captiuitie there in the prouince, are in great affliction and in reproche, and the wall of Ierusalem is broken downe, and the gates thereof are burnt with fire.
Elos fahk nu sik lah mwet su painmoulla ac folokla muta yen selos ah, arulana upa moul lalos, ac mwetsac su muta apkuran nu yorolos elos aklusrongtenyalos. Na elos fahk pac nu sik lah pot Jerusalem srakna musalla oan, oayapa mutunpot uh soenna orekla tukun pacl se firiryak ah.
4 And when I heard these wordes, I sate downe and wept, and mourned certeine dayes, and I fasted and prayed before the God of heauen,
Ke nga lohng ma inge nukewa, nga putati ac tung. Nga asor ke len na pus, ac nga tiana mongo. Nga pre nu sin God ac fahk,
5 And sayde, O Lord God of heauen, the great and terrible God, that keepeth couenant and mercy for them that loue him, and obserue his commandements,
“LEUM GOD lun Kusrao! Kom fulat, ac kut arulana sangeng sum. Kom oaru na in karingin wuleang lom nu selos su lungse kom ac oru ma kom sapkin.
6 I pray thee, let thine eares be attet, and thine eies open, to heare the praier of thy seruat, which I pray before thee dayly, day and night for ye childre of Israel thy seruats, and confesse the sinnes of the children of Israel, which we haue sinned against thee, both I and my fathers house haue sinned:
Ngetma liyeyu, LEUM GOD, ac porongo pre luk, ke nga siyuk len ac fong ke mwet kulansap lom, mwet Israel. Nga fahkak lah kut, mwet Israel, orekma koluk. Nga ac mwet matu luk orekma koluk.
7 We haue grieuously sinned against thee, and haue not kept the commandements, nor the statutes, nor the iudgements, which thou commandedst thy seruant Moses.
Kut arulana aktoasrye kom, ac tia oru ma kom sapkin. Kut tia liyaung ma sap lom ma kom sang nu sel Moses mwet kulansap lom elan ase nu sesr.
8 I beseeche thee, remember the worde that thou commandedst thy seruant Moses, saying, Ye wil transgresse, and I will scatter you abroade among the people.
Inge, esam ke kom fahk nu sel Moses, ‘Kowos mwet Israel fin tia pwaye nu sik, nga ac akfahsryekowoselik inmasrlon mutunfacl ngia.
9 But if ye turne vnto me, and keepe my commandements, and doe them, though your scattering were to the vttermost part of the heauen, yet will I gather you from thence, and will bring you vnto the place that I haue chosen to place my Name there.
Tusruktu kowos fin foloko nu yuruk ac oru ma nga sapkin nu suwos, nga ac folokinkowosme nu yen nga sulela tuh mwet uh in alu nu sik we, kowos finne fahsrelik nu yen saflaiyen faclu.’
10 Now these are thy seruants and thy people, whome thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy mightie hand.
“O Leum, mwet inge elos mwet kulansap lom ac mwet lom sifacna. Kom molelosla ke ku yoklana lom.
11 O Lord, I beseech thee, let thine eare now hearken to the prayer of thy seruant, and to the prayer of thy seruants, who desire to feare thy Name, and I pray thee, cause thy seruant to prosper this day, and giue him fauour in the presence of this man: for I was the Kings butler.
Lipsre mwe siyuk luk inge, oayapa pre lun mwet kulansap lom nukewa ngia su kena akfulatye kom. Ase wo ouiya nu sik misenge, ac oru tuh tokosra fulat elan pakoten nu sik.” In len ingo, nga tuh mwet okwok wain lun tokosra fulat.
