Nehemiah 9
1 Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackcloths, and earth on them.
Hot patetlah, hate thapa 24 hnin nah Isarelnaw teh rawcahai hoi buri kâkhu teh, vaiphu a kâphuen awh teh kamkhueng awh.
2 And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.
Isarelnaw teh ram alouknaw koehoi aloukcalah ao awh teh, a yonnae naw hoi mintoenaw e payonnae hah kangdue laihoi a pâpho awh.
3 And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of the LORD their God one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed, and worshipped the LORD their God.
Amamouh onae hmuen koe lengkaleng a kangdue awh teh, hnin touh hah pali touh lah a kapek awh teh, amamae hmuen koe lengkaleng a kangdue awh teh, buet touh dawk BAWIPA Cathut e kâlawk a touk awh. Buet touh dawk, yon a pâpho awh teh, buet touh dawk BAWIPA Cathut hah a bawk awh.
4 Then stood up on the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and cried with a loud voice to the LORD their God.
Hot patetlah, Levih taminaw khalai rasang dawk Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani hoi Kenani naw hah a kangdue awh teh, kacaipounglah BAWIPA Cathut hah a kaw awh.
5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the LORD your God for ever and ever: and blessed be your glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.
Hot patetlah, Levih tami, Jeshua hoi Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, hoi Pethahiah naw ni kang dout awh nateh Jehovah Cathut teh a yungyoe hoi a yungyoe pholen awh. Pholennae a Lathueng Poung lah kaawm e, na min lentoenae teh pholennae awm seh telah ati awh.
6 You, even you, are LORD alone; you have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and you preserve them all; and the host of heaven worships you.
Hahoi maya ni nang duengdoeh Jehovah lah na kaawm. Nama ni kalvan hah na sak. Kalvannaw e kalvan hoi athung kaawmnaw pueng hoi, talai hoi athung kaawmnaw pueng hoi, talî hoi athung kaawm e pueng hah na sak teh, abuemlah na khetyawt. Nang teh kalvan kaawm pueng ni na bawk awh.
7 You are the LORD the God, who did choose Abram, and brought him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gave him the name of Abraham;
Nang ni Abraham na rawi teh, Khaldean ram Ur kho hoi na tâcokhai teh, a min lah Abraham telah na ka phung e Jehovah Cathut lah na o.
8 And found his heart faithful before you, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give it, I say, to his seed, and have performed your words; for you are righteous:
A lungthin teh na hmalah yuemkamcu lah na hmu teh, Kanaan tami, Hit tami, Amor tami, Periz tami, Jebusit tami hoi Girgashite taminaw e ram hah, ca catounnaw poe hanelah lawkkam na sak. Na lawk teh na kuep sak. Bangkongtetpawiteh nang teh na lan.
9 And did see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heard their cry by the Red sea;
Izip ram e mintoenaw rucat khangnae hah na hmu teh, tuipuipaling teng e a hramki awh e lawk hah na thai.
10 And showed signs and wonders on Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for you knew that they dealt proudly against them. So did you get you a name, as it is this day.
Faro hoi ama koe kaawm e pueng hoi a ram dawk e tami pueng e lathueng vah, mitnoutnae kângairu hah na kamnue sak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, polainae nama dawk ouk a sak awh e hah, nama ni na panue. Hatdawkvah, nama hane na min hah na sak. Sahnin e kaawm e patetlah.
11 And you did divide the sea before them, so that they went through the middle of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors you threw into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.
Hahoi ahnimae hmalah tui hah na kapek teh talai kaphui dawk na cei awh. Ahnimouh thoe ka bo e hah kadung e tui thung, athakaawme tui thung vah talung patetlah na tâkhawng.
12 Moreover you led them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go.
Kanîthun vah tâmaikhom hoi na hrawi teh, karum lah a cei awh nahane lamthung dawk ka tue hanelah hmaikhom hoi a hrawi.
13 You came down also on mount Sinai, and spoke with them from heaven, and gave them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:
Sinai mon dawk hoi na kum teh, kalvan hoi ahnimouh koe lawk na dei. Kalan e lawkcengnae, kalan e kâlawk, phunglawknaw hoi kâpoelawk hah na poe.
14 And made known to them your holy sabbath, and commanded them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses your servant:
Kathounge Sabbath hah na panue sak. Mosi hno lahoi kâ na poe. Phunglawknaw, kâpoelawknaw, hoi kâlawk hah na poe.
15 And gave them bread from heaven for their hunger, and brought forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promised them that they should go in to possess the land which you had sworn to give them.
Hahoi a vonhlam navah, kalvan hoi vaiyei na poe. Tui kahran awh navah, lungsong dawk hoi tui na tâcosak teh, poe hanelah na noe pouh e ram hah ao awh nahan na poe.
16 But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and listened not to your commandments,
Hateiteh ahnimouh hoi mintoenaw ni polainae hoi a lungpata sak awh. Kâpoelawknaw hah tarawi awh hoeh.
17 And refused to obey, neither were mindful of your wonders that you did among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but you are a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsook them not.
Tarawi han ngai awh hoeh. Kângairu hno na sak e naw hai thai han ngai awh hoeh toe. A lung hah a pata sak awh teh, taran a thaw awh teh san lah a onae koe lah ban hane kahrawikung hah a rawi awh. Hatei nang teh ngaithoum hanelah coungkacoe lah kaawm e Cathut, pahrennae lungmanae, hoi ka kawi e, lung kasawe, hawisaknae moi ka tawn e lah na o teh, ahnimouh teh na cettakhai boihoeh.
18 Yes, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is your God that brought you up out of Egypt, and had worked great provocations;
Meikaphawk maitoca a sak awh teh, Izip ram hoi ka tâcawtkhai e Cathut teh puenghoi a lungkhuek nahanlah a sak awh nakunghai,
19 Yet you in your manifold mercies forsook them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way wherein they should go.
Lungmanae kalenpounge dawk hoi kahrawngum vah na cettakhai boihoeh. Lam ka hrawi hane tâmaikhom ni cettakhai boihoeh. Lam a hmu thai na hanelah karum lah hmaikhom ni cettakhai boihoeh.
20 You gave also your good spirit to instruct them, and withheld not your manna from their mouth, and gave them water for their thirst.
Ahnimouh ka cangkhai hanelah, kahawi e na Muitha hah na poe teh, mana hoi na kawk teh nei hanelah tui na poe.
21 Yes, forty years did you sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not.
Kahrawngum kum 40 touh thung na kawk. Banghai voutthoupnae awmhoeh. Hnicu a pawnnae awmhoeh. A khoknaw hai phing hoeh.
22 Moreover you gave them kingdoms and nations, and did divide them into corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan.
Hahoi uknaeram hoi miphun hah na poe teh ram buet touh hnukkhu buet touh na rei. Hottelah, Heshbon siangpahrang Sihon ram e, Bashan siangpahrang Og ram hah a la awh.
23 Their children also multiplied you as the stars of heaven, and brought them into the land, concerning which you had promised to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it.
Ca catounnaw teh kalvan e âsi yit touh na pung sak teh a coe awh hane mintoenaw koe na dei pouh e patetlah, ram dawk na kâenkhai.
24 So the children went in and possessed the land, and you subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gave them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as they would.
Hot patetlah, ca catounnaw ni ram teh a coe awh. Nama ni hote ram dawk kaawm e Kanaan taminaw hah, ahnimae a hmalah na sung sak teh, a ngai patetlah a sak awh hanelah siangpahrangnaw hoi a ram e taminaw hah a kut dawk na poe.
25 And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods, wells dig, vineyards, and olive groves, and fruit trees in abundance: so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in your great goodness.
Ka cak e khopuinaw hoi, kahawipoung e ramnaw hah a la awh teh, hnokahawi phunkuep hoi kakawi e imnaw, tai tangcoung e tuikhunaw hoi misur takha hoi, olive takhanaw hoi thingthaikungnaw a pang awh. Hottelah a ca awh teh, a von a paha awh. A thaw teh na lentoenae, na hawinae dawk a phunep awh.
26 Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against you, and cast your law behind their backs, and slew your prophets which testified against them to turn them to you, and they worked great provocations.
Hateiteh, ahnimouh teh lawkngai awh hoeh. Na taran awh teh, kâlawk hah amamae hnuklah a ta awh teh, nang koe bout ban hanelah, ka yue e profet hah a thei awh teh, puenghoi a tounkhouk awh.
27 Therefore you delivered them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried to you, you heard them from heaven; and according to your manifold mercies you gave them saviors, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.
Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh hah amamae taran kut dawk na poe toe. Runae a kâhmo awh teh nang koe a hram awh toteh, kalvan hoi na thai pouh teh, lungmanae hoi na kawi dawkvah, taran kut dawk hoi rungngangkung hah na poe.
28 But after they had rest, they did evil again before you: therefore left you them in the land of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried to you, you heard them from heaven; and many times did you deliver them according to your mercies;
Hatei a kâhat awh toteh, na hmalah vah, hawihoehnae bout a sak awh dawkvah, taran kut dawk bout na poe. Ahnimouh ni bout a tho awh teh, nang koe bout a hram awh toteh, kalvan hoi na thai pouh teh lungmanae hoi na kawi dawkvah, boutbout na rungngang.
29 And testified against them, that you might bring them again to your law: yet they dealt proudly, and listened not to your commandments, but sinned against your judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them; ) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.
Nange kampangkhai e bout tarawi hanelah, na yue eiteh, ahnimouh ni ngâi awh laipalah, a kâoup awh. Katarawinaw koe hringnae lah kaawm e kâpoelawknaw hah a taran awh. Katepoung e lahuen hoi, lunglennae hoi tarawi laipalah ao awh.
30 Yet many years did you forbear them, and testified against them by your spirit in your prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gave you them into the hand of the people of the lands.
A kum moikapap ahnimouh na panguep teh, na Muitha lahoi na profetnaw hno lahoi na yue nakunghai, ahnimouh ni ngâi awh hoeh. Hatdawkvah, ram alouknaw e kut dawk na poe toe.
31 Nevertheless for your great mercies’ sake you did not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for you are a gracious and merciful God.
Hatnavah nang ni pahrenlungmanae hoi kakawi e Cathut lah na o teh, pahrennae a len dawkvah, ahnimouh khoeroe na raphoe hoeh, na pahnawt hoeh.
32 Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keep covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before you, that has come on us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all your people, since the time of the kings of Assyria to this day.
Hatdawkvah, maimae Cathut, kalen, athakaawme, takikatho e Cathut, pahrennae hoi lawkkam kacakpounge, Assiria siangpahrang uknae koehoi sahnin totouh, kaimae siangpahrang bawi, vaihma, profet, a tami pueng e lathueng ka phat e runae pueng, banglahai noutna hoeh e lah awm hoeh.
33 However, you are just in all that is brought on us; for you have done right, but we have done wickedly:
Nang ni kaimae lathueng na pha sak e hnonaw teh a kamsoum. Kaimanaw teh, kamsoum hoeh lah hno ka sak awh toe. Nang ni teh yuemkamcu lah na sak.
34 Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept your law, nor listened to your commandments and your testimonies, with which you did testify against them.
Maimae siangpahrang hoi ukkungnaw, maimae vaihma hoi mintoenaw ni hai, kâlawk tarawi awh hoeh. Kâpoelawk hoi na panuesaknae, na yuenae thai ngai awh hoeh.
35 For they have not served you in their kingdom, and in your great goodness that you gave them, and in the large and fat land which you gave before them, neither turned they from their wicked works.
Ahnimanaw teh na uknaeram thung vah, kakaw poung, kahawipoung na poe e dawk thaw tawk ngai awh hoeh. Kahawi hoeh lah tawknae hai kâhat ngai awh hoeh.
36 Behold, we are servants this day, and for the land that you gave to our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants in it:
Khenhaw! atuvah san lah o awh. Athung e canei katui e hoi hnokahawinaw hah yampa mintoenaw koe na poe e ram dawkvah san lah ka o awh toe.
37 And it yields much increase to the kings whom you have set over us because of our sins: also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.
Ka yon awh dawkvah, siangpahrangnaw ni kaimouh lathueng vah a bawi awh nahanelah, kaimae takthai hoi hnopainaw e lathueng a ngai awh e patetlah kâ a tawn awh toe. Ka lungreithai awh tangngak toe telah a dei awh.
38 And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests, seal to it.
Hnopainaw dawkvah, kacakpounge lawkkam ka sak awh teh, ka thut awh hnukkhu kacuenaw, vaihmanaw hoi Levih taminaw ni tacik a kin awh.
