Nehemiah 9

1 In the foure and twentieth day of this moneth the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackecloth, and earth vpon them.

I KA la iwakaluakumamaha o keia malama, ua houluuluia mai la ka Iseraela me ka hookeai ana, a me ke kapa inoino, a me ka lepo maluna iho o lakou.

2 (And they that were of the seede of Israel were separated from all the strangers) and they stoode and confessed their sinnes and the iniquities of their fathers.

Hookaawaleia ae la ka Iseraela mai waena aku o na malihini a pau, ku ae la lakou, a hai aku la i ko lakou hala, a me na howa o ko lakou poe kupuna.

3 And they stood vp in their place and read in the booke of the Lawe of the Lord their GOD foure times on the day, and they confessed and worshipped the Lord their God foure times.

Ku ae la lakou iluna ma ko lakou wahi, a heluhelu iho la ma ka buke o ke kanawai o Iehova ko lakou Akua a hala ka hapaha o ka la; a i kekahi hapaha, hai aku la lakou i ka hewa, a hoomana aku ia Iehova ko lakou Akua.

4 Then stoode vp vpon the staires of the Leuites Ieshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and cryed with a loud voyce vnto the Lord their God.

Ku ae la ma kahi kiekie, o na Levi, o Iesua, a me Bani, Kademiela, Sebania, Buni, Serebia, Bani, Kenani, a kahea aku la lakou me ka leo nui ia Iehova ko lakou Akua.

5 And the Leuites said, euen Ieshua and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodiiah, Shebaniah and Pethahiah, Stande vp, and praise the Lord your God for euer, and euer, and let them praise thy glorious Name, O God, which excelleth aboue all thankesgiuing and praise.

A ololo aku la na Levi, o Iosua, a me Kademiela, Bani, Hasabenia, Sorebia, Hodia, Sebania, Petahia, E ku ae oukou, o hoomaikai aku ia Iehova ko oukou Akua ia ao aku ia ao aku: a e hoomaikaiia'ku kou inoa hanohano i hookiekieia maluna ao o ka hoomaikai ana a pau a me ka hoolea ana'ku.

6 Thou art Lord alone: thou hast made heauen, and the heauen of all heauens, with all their hoste, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and al that are in them, and thou preseruest them all, and the host of the heauen worshippeth thee.

O oe no o Iehova, a o oe wale no; nau no i hana ka lani, a me ka lani o na lani, a me ko laila mau mea a pau, i ka honua, a me na mea a pau maluna iho ona, i na kai, a me na mea a pau iloko olaila, nau no hoi e malama ia mau mea a pau; a ke hoomana nei ko ka lani ia oe.

7 Thou art, O Lord, the God, that hast chosen Abram, and broughtest him out of Vr in Caldea, and madest his name Abraham,

O oe no, o Iehova, ke Akua nana i koho iho ia Aberama, a alakai mai la ia ia mailoko mai o Ura no ko Kaledea, a kapa iho la oe i kona inoa o Aberahama.

8 And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a couenant with him, to giue vnto his seede the lande of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, and Perizzites, and Iebusites, and Girgashites, and hast performed thy wordes, because thou art iust.

Loaa iho la ia oe kona naau he kupaa imua ou, a hoohiki iho la oe me ia i ka berita e haawi i ka aina o na Kanaana, na Heta, na Amora a me na Periza, a me na Iebusa, a me na Giregasa, e haawi no i kana poe mamo, a hooko iho no oe i kau olelo; no ka mea, he mea hana pololei no oe.

9 Thou hast also considered the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heard their cry by the red Sea,

Ike aku la oe i ka popilikia o ko makou poe kupuna ma Aigupita, a hoolohe no hoi oe ma ke Kaiula i ko lakou kahea ana'ku.

10 And shewed tokens and wonders vpon Pharaoh, and on all his seruants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudely against them: therefore thou madest thee a Name, as appeareth this day.

Hana iho la oe i na mea hoike, a me na mea kupanaha maluna o Parao, a maluna o kana poo kauwa a pau, a maluna hoi o ka poe kanaka a pau o kona aina; no ka mea, ua ike oe i ka lakou hana hookiokie ana maluna o lakou. Pela no oe i hookanlana i kou inoa e like me ia i neia la.

11 For thou didest breake vp the Sea before them, and they went through the middes of the Sea on dry lande: and those that pursued them, hast thou cast into the bottomes as a stone, in the mightie waters:

Hookaawale ae la no hoi oe i ke kai imua o lakou, i hele lakou iwaena konu o ke kai ma ka aina maloo; a kiola aku la oe i ka poe e alualu ana ia lakou iloko o ka hohonu, mo he pohaku la iloko o na wai nui.

12 And leddest them in the day with a pillar of a cloude, and in the night with a pillar of fire to giue them light in the way that they went.

Me ke kia ao no oe i alakai ai ia lakou i ke ao; a, me ke kia ahi no hoi i ka po i malamalama no lakou ma ko alanui a lakou e hele ai.

13 Thou camest downe also vpon mount Sinai, and spakest vnto them from heauen, and gauest them right iudgements, and true lawes, ordinances and good commandements,

Iho mai la oe maluna o ka mauna o Sinai, olelo pu mo lakou mai ka lani mai, a haawi mai la oe ia lakou i na olelo kupaa he pololei, a me na kapu ho oiaio, i na kanawai a me na kauoha he maikai:

14 And declaredst vnto them thine holy Sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, and ordinances, and lawes, by the hande of Moses thy seruant:

Hoike mai la oe ia lakou i kou Sabati hoano, a kau aku la maluna o lakou i na kauoha, a me na olelo kupaa, a me ke kanawai ma ka lima o Mose kau kauwa.

15 And gauest them bread from heauen for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rocke for their thirst: and promisedst them that they shoulde goe in, and take possession of the land: for the which thou haddest lift vp thine hand for to giue them.

Haawi mai la oe ia lakou i ka berena mai ka lani mai no ko lakou pololi, a hookaho mai la hoi i ka wai no lakou mailoko mai o ka pohaku no ko lakou makewai ana, a olelo aku oe ia lakou e komo a e lilo ia lakou ka aina au i hoohiki ai e haawi ia lakou.

16 But they and our fathers behaued them selues proudely, and hardened their neck, so that they hearkened not vnto thy commandements,

Aka, o lakou a me ko makou poe kupuna ua hana hookiekie no, a hooolea i ko lakou a-i, aole hoi i hoolohe i kau mau kauoha;

17 But refused to obey, and would not remember thy marueilous works that thou haddest done for them, but hardened their neckes, and had in their heads to returne to their bondage by their rebellion: but thou, O God of mercies, gratious and full of compassion, of long suffring and of great mercie, yet forsookest them not.

Hoole aku lakou, aole e hoolohe, aole hoi lakou i hoomanao i kau mau hana kupanaha au i hana'i me lakou; hooolea no lakou i ko lakou a-i, a i ko lakou kipi ana, koho iho la lakou i luna, i hoi aku ai lakou ma ko lakou hookauwa ana: aka, o oe ke Akua e kala ana i ka hala, he oluolu a me ka lokomaikai, he ahonui a me ke aloha nui, nolaila, aole oe i haalele ia lakou.

18 Moreouer, when they made them a molten calfe (and said, This is thy God that brought thee vp out of the land of Egypt) and committed great blasphemies,

Eia hoi, i ka wa a lakou i hana'i i bipikeiki i hooheeheeia, a olelo ae la, Eia kou Akua nana oe i alakai mailoko mai o Aigupita, a hana no hoi lakou i na mea hoonaukiuki loa;

19 Yet thou for thy great mercies forsookest them not in the wildernesse: the pillar of the cloude departed not from them by day to leade them the way, neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way whereby they should goe.

Alaila, aole oe i haalele ia lakou ma ka waonahele, no kou lokomaikai he nui loa; aole no i haalele ke kia ao ia lakou i ke ao, e alakai ana ia lakou ma ke alanui; aole hoi i haalele ke kia ahi i ka po i malamalama no lakou ma ke alanui a lakou e hele ai.

20 Thou gauest also thy good Spirite to instruct them, and withheldest not thy MAN from their mouth, and gauest them water for their thirst.

Haawi mai la no hoi oe i kou Uhane maikai e ao mai ia lakou, aole hoi oe i kaili i kau mane mai ko lakou waha mai, a haawi aku oe ia lakou i ka wai no ko lakou makewai ana.

21 Thou didest also feede them fourtie yeres in ye wildernes: they lacked nothing: their clothes waxed not old, and their feete swelled not.

Hookahi kanaha makahiki au i malama aku ai ia lakou ma ka waonahele, aole lakou i nele i kekahi mea; aole i weluwelu ko lakou aabu, aole hoi i pehu ko lakou mau wawae.

22 And thou gauest them kingdomes and people, and scatteredst them into corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon and the land of ye King of Heshbon, and the land of Og King of Bashan.

Haawi mai oe ia lakou i na aupuni a me na labuikanaka, a hoopuehu aku oe ia poe ma ko kihi, i lilo no lakou ka aina o Sihona, a me ka aina o ke alii o Hesebona, a me ka aina o Oga ke alii o Basana.

23 And thou diddest multiplie their children, like the starres of the heauen, and broughtest them into the lande, whereof thou haddest spoken vnto their fathers, that they should goe, and possesse it.

Hoomabuahua iho la no hoi oe i ka lakou poe mamo e like me na hoku o ka lani, a hookomo ae la ia lakou iloko o ka aina au i olelo ai i ko lakou poe kupuna, e komo lakou a e lilo ia ia lakou.

24 So the children went in, and possessed the lande, and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the lande, euen the Canaanites, and gauest them into their handes, with their Kings and the people of the lande, that they might do with them what they would.

Komo iho la ka poe mamo a lilo ka aina ia lakou, a hoopio iho oe i ka poe kamaaina, i ko Kanaana, imua o lakou, a haawi oe ia lakou iloko o ko lakou lima, i ko lakou mau alii a me na lahuikanaka o ka aina, e hana aku ia lakou e like me ko lakou makemake.

25 And they tooke their strong cities and the fat lande, and possessed houses, full of all goods, cisternes digged out, vineyardes, and oliues, and trees for foode in abundance, and they did eate, and were filled, and became fat, and liued in pleasure through thy great goodnesse.

A lawe pio iho la lakou i na kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa, a me ka aina maikai, a lilo iho la ia lakou na hale i lako i kela mea maikai keia mea maikai, na punawai i eliia, na mala waina, a mo na mala olive a me na laau hua he nui: a ai iho la lakou a maona, a momona hoi, a olioli iho la lakou i kou hoomaikai nui ana.

26 Yet they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy Lawe behinde their backes, and slewe thy Prophets (which protested among them to turne them vnto thee) and committed great blasphemies.

Aka, ku e aku la lakou a kipi aku ia oe, a kapae hoi i kou kanawai ma ko lakou kua, luku iho la lakou i kau poe kaula, ka poe i ao pinepine aku ia lakou e hoohuli ia lakou i ou la, a hana iho la lakou i na mea hoonaukiuki loa.

27 Therefore thou deliueredst them into the hande of their enemies that vexed them: yet in the time of their affliction, when they cryed vnto thee, thou heardest them from the heauen, and through thy great mercies thou gauest them sauiours, who saued them out of the hande of their aduersaries.

No ia mea, haawi aku la oe ia lakou iloko o ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi, i hoopopilikia ua poe la ia lakou; aka, i ka wa o ko lakou pilikia ana, kahea aku la lakou ia oe, a hoolohe mai no oe mai ka lani mai; a e like me kou lokomaikai he nui no, haawi mai no oe ia lakou i poe hoola, nana lakou i hoopakele ae mailoko mai o ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi.

28 But when they had rest, they returned to doe euill before thee: therefore leftest thou them in the hande of their enemies, so that they had the dominion ouer them, yet when they conuerted and cryed vnto thee, thou heardest them from heauen, and deliueredst them according to thy great mercies many times,

Aka, i ka wa i malu ai lakou, huli ae la lakou e hana i ka mea mo imua o kou alo; alaila waiho aku la oe ia lakou iloko o ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi, i alii ai ua poe la maluna o lakou: aka, huli ae la lakou a kahea aku la ia oe, a hoolohe no oe mai ka lani mai: a hoopakele pinepine no oe ia lakou e like me kou aloha;

29 And protestedst among them that thou mightest bring them againe vnto thy Lawe: but they behaued them selues proudely, and hearkened not vnto thy commandements, but sinned against thy iudgements (which a man should doe and liue in them) and pulled away the shoulder, and were stiffenecked, and woulde not heare.

A ao pinepine aku no hoi oe ia lakou e hoohuli ia lakou ma kou kanawai; aka, hana hookiekie lakou, aole hoi i hoolohe i kau mau kanoha; hana ino no lakou i kau mau olelo kupaa, (na mea e ola'i ke kanaka ke nana ia, ) haawi lakou i ka poohiwi kipi, a hooolea i ko lakou a-i, aole hoi i hoolohe.

30 Yet thou diddest forbeare them many yeeres, and protestedst among them by thy Spirite, euen by the hande of thy Prophets, but they woulde not heare: therefore gauest thou them into the hande of the people of the lands.

Aka, hoomanawanui no oe ia lakou i na makahiki he nui no, a ao pinepine aku oe ia lakou me kou Uhane iloko o ka poe kaols; aole nae i haliu mai ko lakou pepeiao; nolaila haawi aku la oe ia lakou iloko o ka lima o na lahuikanaka o na aina.

31 Yet for thy great mercies thou hast not consumed them, neither forsaken them: for thou art a gracious and mercifull God.

Aole nae oe i hoopau loa ia lakou no kou lokomaikai he nui no, aole hoi i haalele oe ia lakou; no ka mea, he Akua lokomaikai no oe a me ke aloha.

32 Nowe therefore our God, thou great God, mightie and terrible, that keepest couenant and mercie, let not all the affliction that hath come vnto vs, seeme a litle before thee, that is, to our Kings, to our princes, and to our Priests, and to our Prophets, and to our fathers, and to all thy people since the time of the Kings of Asshur vnto this day.

Ano hoi, e ko makou Akua, ke Akua nui, mana, a hooweliweli, e malama ana i ka berita a me ka lokomaikai, mai mauao mai oe he uuku ka popilikia a pau i hiki mai la maluna o makou nei, maluna o ko makou poe alii, maluna o na luna o makou, a maluna o ko makou poe kahuna, a maluna o na kaula o makou, maluna o ko makou poe makua, a maluna hoi o kou poe kanaka a pau, mai na la mai o na'lii o Asuria a hiki i keia la.

33 Surely thou art iust in all that is come vpon vs: for thou hast dealt truely, but we haue done wickedly.

Ua hala ole no nae oe ma na mea a pau i hiki mai la maluna o makou; no ka mea, ua hana no oe ma ka pololei, a o makou ka i hana hewa.

34 And our kings and our princes, our Priests and our fathers haue not done thy Lawe, nor regarded thy commandements nor thy protestations, wherewith thou hast protested among them.

A o ko makou poe alii, ko makou poe luna, ko makou poe kahuna, a me ko makou poe makua, aole lakou i malama i kou kanawai, aole hoi i hoolohe i kau mau kauoha a me kau mau oleloao au i ao pinepine mai ai ia lakou.

35 And they haue not serued thee in their kingdome, and in thy great goodnesse that thou shewedst vnto them, and in the large and fat lande which thou diddest set before them, and haue not conuerted from their euill workes.

No ka mea, aole i hookauwa lakou nau ma ko lakou aupuni, a ma kou lokomaikai nui au i haawi mai ai ia lakou, a ma ka aina nui a momona au i waiho mai ai imua o lakou; aole hoi i huli ae lakou mai ka lakou hana hewa ana'ku.

36 Beholde, we are seruants this day, and the lande that thou gauest vnto our fathers, to eate the fruite thereof, and the goodnesse thereof, beholde, we are seruants therein.

Eia hoi, i keia la, he poe kauwa makou, a o ka aina au i haawi mai ai i ko makou poe kupuna e ai i ka hua ona a me kona maikai, ea, he poe kauwa no makou maluna ona.

37 And it yeeldeth much fruit vnto the kings whom thou hast set ouer vs, because of our sinnes: and they haue dominion ouer our bodyes and ouer our cattell at their pleasure, and we are in great affliction.

A e kau mai ana maluna ona ka hookupu nui ana i na'lii au i hoonoho ai maluna o makou no ko makou hewa; a e alii ana lakou maluna o ko makou mau kino, a me ko makou poe holoholona, e like me ko lakou makemake, a iloko no makou o ka popilikia nui.

38 Now because of all this we make a sure couenant, and write it, and our princes, our Leuites and our Priestes seale vnto it.

No keia mea a pau ke hoohiki nei makou i mea oiaio, a kakau iho no hoi, a na ko makou poe luna, na Levi, a me na kahuna o makou e kau i ka sila o paa ai.
