< Nehemiah 1 >

1 The words of Nehemiah the son of Chachalyah. And it came to pass in the month Kislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan, the capital,
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 That there came Chanani, one of my brethren, himself with certain men of Judah: and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, who were 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 unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great misery and in disgrace; and the wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and her 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 some days, and I was 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, I beseech thee, O Lord the God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth the covenant and kindness for those that love him and for 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 thy ear now be attentive, and thy eyes be open, I entreat thee, to hearken unto the prayer of thy servant, which I am praying this day before thee, by day and by night, in behalf of the children of Israel thy servants, and [as] I confess for the sins of the children of Israel, [with] which we have sinned against thee: yea, I also and my father's house 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 dealt very corruptly toward thee: and we have not kept the commandments, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which thou didst command Moses thy servant.
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 beseech thee, the word with which thou didst charge Moses thy servant, saying, If ye become truly unfaithful, I will indeed scatter 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 ye return unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them: [then] though your outcasts should be at the utmost parts of heaven, from there will I gather them, and I will bring them unto the place which I have chosen to let my name 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 And they are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy 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 I beseech thee, O Lord, do let thy ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who are desirous to fear thy name; and grant success, I pray thee, to thy servant this day, and let him find mercy in the sight of this man —But I was butler by the king.
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.
