< Nehemiah 1 >

1 The words of Neemias the son of Chelcia. And it came to pass in the month Chaseleu, of the twentieth year, that I was in Susan the palace.
Amo sia: da Nihemaia (Ha: galaia egefe) amo ea hawa: hamosu olelesa. Adasegesisi da Besia soge amoga hina bagade esalu. Ea ouligisu hou ode20 amola oubi ea dio Gisilefe amoga, na, Nihemaia, na da Besia bisili moilai bai bagade amo Susa, amo ganodini esalebe ba: i.
2 And Anani, one of my brethren, came, he and [some] men of Juda; and I asked them concerning those that had escaped, who had been left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.
Na olalali afae amo ea dio Hana: inai, e amola eno dunu gilisili da Yuda soge fisili, nama doaga: i. Na da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade ea hou, amola ninia Yu fi musa: mugululi asi, Yuda sogega buhagi, amo ilia hou ilima adole ba: i.
3 And they said to me, The remnant, [even] those that are left of the captivity, [are] there in the land, in great distress and reproach: and the walls of Jerusalem [are] thrown down, and its gates are burnt with fire.
Ilia da amo hou nama adole i. Musa: mugululi asi dunu mogili da bogoi dagoi. Be mogili da buhagili, Yuda soge ganodini esala, da se bagade nabawane esala. Ga fi dunu gadenene esala da Yu dunu amo higale ba: sa, ilia sia: i. Yelusaleme gagoi dobea amo musa: mugululi sa: i dagoi, amo da bu hame gagoi. Amola logo ga: su musa: laluga nei, amo da bu hame ga: si.
4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, [that] I sat down and wept, and mourned for [several] days, and continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven.
Na da amo sia: nababeba: le, fila sa: ili amola bagadewane dinanu. Eso didia amoga, na da dinanuwane, ha: i mae nawane Godema sia: ne gadolalu.
5 And I said, Nay, I pray you, O Lord God of heaven, the mighty, the great and terrible, keeping your covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to those that keep his commandments:
Na da amane sia: ne gadoi, “Hina Gode Hebene ganodini esala! Di da bagadedafa amola ninia Diba: le beda: i bagade. Dia gousa: su, amo Di da Dima asigi amola nabasu dunu amo fidima: ne hamoi, amo Di da mae fisili dawa: lala.
6 let now your ear be attentive, and your eyes open, that you may hear the prayer of your servant, which I pray before you at this time, this day [both] day and night, for the children of Israel your servants, and make confession for the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against you: both I and the house of my father have sinned.
Hina Gode! Na hou ba: ma amola na sia: ne gadosu nabima! Na da dia fi dunu amo Isala: ili fi dunu amola uda, na da gasi huluane amola eso huluane amoga ili fidima: ne, Dima sia: ne gadolala. Dafawane! Ninia Isala: ili dunu da wadela: le hamoi dagoi. Na amola na aowalali dunu da wadela: i hou hamoi dagoi.
7 We have altogether broken [covenant] with you, and we have not kept the commandments, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which you did command your servant Moses.
Ninia da Dima wadela: i hou hamosu, amola Dia sia: hame nabasu. Ninia Dia sema amo Di da dia hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese ea lafidili ninima i, amoma hame fa: no bobogesu.
8 Remember, I pray you, the word wherewith you did charge your servant Moses, saying, If you break covenant [with me], I will disperse you among the nations.
Dia da Mousesema sia: i liligi bu dawa: ma, amane, ‘Dilia Isala: ili dunu da Na sia: hame nabasea, Na da dilia fi afagogole, ga fi dunu amo ganodini esaloma: ne sefasimu.
9 But if you turn again to me, and keep my commandments, and do them; if you should be scattered under the utmost [bound] of heaven, thence will I gather them, and I will bring them into the place which I have chosen to cause my name to dwell there.
Be amasea, dilia da Nama, Na dilima hamoma: ne sia: i defele Nama bu sinidigisia, Na da dili soge amoga Nama nodone sia: ne gadomusa: Na da ilegei, amo sogega Na da dili bu oule misunu,’ Di da amane sia: i dagoi.
10 Now they [are] your servants and your people, whom you have redeemed with your great power, and with your strong hand.
Hina Gode! Amo dunu da Dia hawa: hamosu dunu! Ilia da Dia ilegei fi dunu! Di da Dia gasa bagade amoga, amo fi dunu gaga: i dagoi.
11 [Turn] not [away], I pray you, O Lord, but let your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants, who desire to fear your name: and prosper, I pray you, your servant this day, and cause him to find mercy in the sight of this man. Now I was the king's cupbearer.
Amaiba: le, na sia: ne gadosu amola Dia hawa: hamosu dunu eno ilia Dima nodomusa: dawa: , ilia sia: ne gadosu amola nabima. Hina bagade da na sia: noga: le nabima: ne, Di da ea dogo ganodini hawa: hamoma!” na amane sia: ne gadoi. Amo esoga na da Besia hina bagade amo ea waini hano iasu dunu esalu.
