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.
Ie amy andro faha-roapolo-efats’ ambi’ i volañeiy le nivory vaho nililitse o ana’ Israeleo, nisaron-gony naho tane.
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.
Le nifañambak’ amy ze hene ambahiny o tiri’ Israeleo vaho nijohañe eo nisoloho o hakeo’eo naho o tahin-droae’eo.
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.
Le nijohañe an-toe’ iareo eo namaky amy boke Hà’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo ami’ty fah’efa’ i àndroy; naho ami’ty fah’efa’e ka, nisoloho vaho nibabok’ añatrefa’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo.
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.
Niongak’ ambone’ i fanongañey amy zao o nte-Levio, Iesòa naho i Baný, i Kadmiele, i Sebanià, i Baný, i Serebià vaho i Kenaný, le nampipoña-piarañanañañe am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo.
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.
Le hoe i nte-Levy rey, Iesoa, i Kadmiele, i Baný, i Kasabneià, i Serebià, i Hodià, i Sebanià vaho i Petakià: Miongaha le andriaño t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo nainai’e teo, nainai’e eo vaho ano ty hoe: Andriañeñe ty tahina’o lifots’ engeñe, onjoneñe ambone’ ze atao fañandriañañe naho fandrengeañe.
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.
Ihe ro Iehovà, Ihe avao; Ihe ty namboatse o likerañeo, o andindin-dikerañeo naho o valobohò’ iareo iabio, ty tane toy naho ze he’e ama’e ao, o riakeo naho ze hene ama’e ao, Ihe ty mameloñe iereo; vaho miambane ama’o i fifamorohotan-dikerañey.
7 Thou art, O Lord, the God, that hast chosen Abram, and broughtest him out of Vr in Caldea, and madest his name Abraham,
Ihe ro Iehovà Andrianañahare nijoboñe i Avrahame, ninday aze hienga i Ore’ o nte-Kasdio naho tinolo’o tahinañe ty hoe Avrahame;
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.
Ihe nahavazoho te nigahiñe añ’atrefa’o ty arofo’e le nifañina ama’e hanolorañe aze ty tane’ o nte-Kaànaneo, o nte-Kiteo, o nte-Amoreo naho o nte-Perizeo naho o nte-Ieboseo naho o nte-Girgaseo, hanolora’o aze amo tiri’eo vaho nihenefe’o ami’ty havantaña’o o tsara’oo;
9 Thou hast also considered the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heard their cry by the red Sea,
le nivazoho’o ty fisotrian-droae’ay e Mitsraime ao naho jinanji’o ty fitoreova’ iareo añ’olo’ i Riake Menay;
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.
naho tinolo’o viloñe naho raha tsi-tantane t’i Parò naho o mpitoro’e iabio naho ze hene ondati’ i tane’ey; amy te niarofoana’o t’ie nisenge hery; vaho nahazoa’o Tahinañe manahake androany.
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:
Vinaki’o añatrefa’ iareo i riakey, hitsaha’ iareo añivo’ i riakey an-tane maike; vaho nafetsa’o an-dalek’ ao o nañoridañe iareoo, nanahake t’ie vato an-drano mitabohazake.
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.
Mbore an-drahoñe mijoalajoala ty niaoloa’o iareo handro; naho añ’ afo nisotratràke te haleñe, nañazavà’o ho a iareo ty lalañe homba’ iareo.
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,
Nizotso am-bohi-Sinay eo irehe, nitsara am’ iereo boak’ andikerañ’ añe, nanolotse lily to naho i Hake vantañey vaho fepètse naho fañè soa;
14 And declaredst vnto them thine holy Sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, and ordinances, and lawes, by the hande of Moses thy seruant:
naho nampahafohina’o i Sabata’o masiñey naho linili’o fepètse naho fañè vaho i Hake am-pità’ i Mosè mpitoro’oy;
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.
naho nitolora’o mofon-dikerañe ho ami’ty hasalikoa’ iareo naho nampiboaha’o rano boak’ ami’ ty vato ho ami’ty hataliñiera’ iareo vaho nililie’o t’ie himoake amy taney, hitavane i nampionjona’o fitañe hanolora’o iareoy.
16 But they and our fathers behaued them selues proudely, and hardened their neck, so that they hearkened not vnto thy commandements,
Fe nirengevoke, ie naho o roae’aio, nanjì-kàtoke, tsy nañaoñe o lili’oo,
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.
le nifoneña’ iareo ty tsy hijanjiñe, le tsy nitiahi’ iareo o raha tsitantane nanoe’o añivo’ iareoo; te mone nizinjin-kàtoke, le ami’ty fiolà’ iareo ty nanendreañe mpiaolo hampipoly iareo am-pandrohizañe añe; fe Andrianañahare Mpañaha irehe, matarike, atsa-tretrè, malaon-kaviñerañe, lifo-kafatraram-pikokoañe vaho tsy naforintse’o.
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,
Eka, toe namboatse bania trinanake iereo ami’ty hoe: Intoy ty ndrahare’ areo nañavotse anahareo an-tane Mitsraime, le nanao haloloam-bey;
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.
f’Ihe am-pikokoa’o migahiñe, tsy nifary iareo am-patrambey añe; tsy nienga iareo handro i rahoñe nijoalay mpiaolo amy lalañey, ndra i afo nisotratràke haleñey, hañazava ty lalañe hombà’ iareo.
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.
Natolo’o i Arofo’o soay hañoke naho tsy nitana’o tsy ho am-palie’ iareo i maney vaho nanjotsoa’o rano ami’ty harandranoañe.
21 Thou didest also feede them fourtie yeres in ye wildernes: they lacked nothing: their clothes waxed not old, and their feete swelled not.
Eka, efapolo taoñe ty nanohaña’o iareo am-patrambey añe; le tsy eo ty nipaia’ iareo; tsy nikomavo o siki’eo, tsy nienatse o fandia’eo.
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.
Mbore tinolo’o fifeheañe naho borizañe, le zinara’o toetse naho tane, handrambesa’ iareo ty tane’ i Sikhone naho ty tanem-panjàka’ i Hesbone naho ty tane’ i Oge mpanjaka’ i Basane.
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.
Nampangetseketsehe’o ho mira amo vasian-dikerañeo o ana’ iareoo, le nampihovae’o amy tane nafanto’o aman-droae’ iareo hizilik’ ao hitavañe azey.
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.
Aa le nimoak’ ao i anake rey nitavañe i taney, le nampiambanea’o añatrefa’ iareo o mpimone’ i taneio, o nte-Kaananeo vaho natolo’o am-pità’ iareo rekets’ o mpanjaka’eo naho ondati’ i taneio, hanoañe ze satri’ iareo.
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.
Ie nandrambe rova fatratse naho tane kobokara naho nitavañ’ anjomba lifo-draha soa, kadaha hinaly, tanem-bahe naho golobon’ olive naho hatae maro fihinam-boa, le nikama naho nianjañe naho nahazo sandriñe vaho nierañerañe amy hasoa’o ra’elahiy.
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.
F’ie nanjehatse, niola ama’o, le nitsambolitio’ iareo i Ha’oy naho nanjamañe o mpitoki’o nañatahata iareo himpoly ama’oo vaho nitolon-katerateràñe jabajaba.
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.
Aa le natolo’o am-pità’ o rafelahi’ iareoo; le nampalovilovieñe; vaho nitoreo ama’o iereo an-tsam-pèh’ohatse. Nijanjiñe andindiñe añe irehe naho nitolora’o mpandrombake ami’ty fiferenaiña’o, le navotso’o am-pitan-drafelahy.
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,
F’ie nitofa ro mbe nanao haloloañe añatrefa’o avao; aa le napo’o am-pitàn-drafelahi’ iareo, hifeleha’e; fe naho nitolike iereo naho nitoreo ama’o le nainai’e nahajanjiñe an-dikerañe añe vaho nandrombake ty amy fiferenaiña’oy;
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.
mbore hinatahata’o, hampitoliha’o mb’an-Kàke, f’ie nibohaboha tsy nañaoñe o lili’oo naho nandilatse amo fañè’oo, o mahaveloñe ondaty t’ie ambenañeo, fe nanolotse soroke manjehatse naho nampigàn-katoke vaho tsy nañaoñe.
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.
Taoñ’ an-taoñe ty nifeaha’o iareo naho hinatahata’o amañ’ Arofo’o añamo mpitoki’oo; f’ie tsy nanolo-dravembia vaho natolo’e am-pita’ o kilakila’ ondati’ i taneio.
31 Yet for thy great mercies thou hast not consumed them, neither forsaken them: for thou art a gracious and mercifull God.
Fe ami’ty habeim-piferenaiña’o, tsy nimongore’o, tsy hene naforintseñe; ihe Andrianañahare matarike, lifo-pitretrezañe.
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.
Ie amy zao ry Andrianañahare’ay, ry Jabahinake, Maozatse, toe Andrianañahare mampañeveñe, Mpitàm-pañina naho fiferenaiñañe, ko enga’o ho kedekedek’ ama’o o faloviloviañe nifetsak’ ama’ay naho amo mpanjaka’aio naho amo roandria’aio naho amo mpisoro’aio naho amo mpitoki’aio naho aman-droae’aio naho am’ ondati’o iabio, sikal’ añ’andro’ o mpanjaka’ i Asoreo pak’ androanio.
33 Surely thou art iust in all that is come vpon vs: for thou hast dealt truely, but we haue done wickedly.
Toe vantan-dRehe amy ze he’e nifetsak’ ama’ay; nanao an-kavañonan-dRehe, zahay ka an-karatiañe;
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.
mbore tsy nitana’ o mpanjaka’aio, o roandria’aio, o mpisoro’aio vaho o roae’ aio i Tsara’oy; tsy hinao’ iareo o fepè’oo naho o taro’o nitaroña’o.
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.
F’ie tsy nitoroñ’ Azo amy fifehea’ iareoy naho amy hasoa ra’elahy natolo’oy naho i tane bey henehene naho kobokara nitolora’o añatrefa’ iareoo mbore tsy nifotetse amo halò-tsere’eo.
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.
Oniño te ondevo zahay androany, le ty amy tane natolo’o aman-droae’ay hikamà’ iareo o voka’eo amo hasoa’eo, ingo, ondevo ama’e ao zahay,
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.
vaho miveve amo mpanjaka nampijadoña’o ama’ay ty amo hakeo’aio i voka’e nibodobodoy; mbore ananaña’e lily o sandri’aio, o añombe’aio, ze satrin’ arofo’e; toe malovilovy zahay.
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.
Aa ty amy tsaraeñe rezay, le nampijadoñe fañina zahay naho vinoli-fitombo’ o roandria’aio naho o nte-Levi’aio vaho o mpisoro’aio.
