Nehemiah 9
1 And in the twenty-fourth day of this month the sons of Israel have been gathered with fasting, and with sackcloth, and earth on them;
Ie amy andro faha-roapolo-efats’ ambi’ i volañeiy le nivory vaho nililitse o ana’ Israeleo, nisaron-gony naho tane.
2 and the seed of Israel are separated from all sons of a stranger, and stand and confess concerning their sins, 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 rise up on their station, and read in the Scroll of the Law of their God YHWH a fourth of the day, and a fourth they are confessing and bowing themselves to their God YHWH.
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 And there stand up on the ascent, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, Chenani, and they cry with a loud voice to their God YHWH.
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 Levites say, [even] Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, Pethahiah, “Rise, bless your God YHWH, From age to age, And they bless the Name of Your glory That [is] exalted above all blessing 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 You [are] He, O YHWH, Yourself—You have made the heavens, The heavens of the heavens, and all their host, The earth and all that [are] on it, The seas and all that [are] in them, And You are keeping all of them alive, And the host of the heavens are bowing themselves to You.
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 You [are] He, O YHWH God, Who fixed on Abraham, And brought him out from Ur of the Chaldeans, And made 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 found his heart steadfast before You, So as to make with him the covenant, To give the land of the Canaanite, The Hittite, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite, and the Girgashite, To give [it] to his seed. And You establish Your words, For You [are] righteous,
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 And see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, And their cry have heard by the Sea of Suph,
le nivazoho’o ty fisotrian-droae’ay e Mitsraime ao naho jinanji’o ty fitoreova’ iareo añ’olo’ i Riake Menay;
10 And give signs and wonders on Pharaoh, And on all his servants, And on all the people of his land, For You have known that they have acted proudly against them, And You make to Yourself a name as [at] 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 And You have cleaved the sea before them, And they pass over into the midst of the sea on the dry land, And their pursuers You have cast into the depths, As a stone, into the strong 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 by a pillar of cloud You have led them by day, And by a pillar of fire by night, To lighten to them the way in which they go.
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 And on Mount Sinai You have come down, Even to speak with them from the heavens, And You give to them right judgments, And true laws, good statutes and commands.
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 Your holy Sabbath You have made known to them, And commands, and statutes, and law, You have commanded for them, By the hand of Your servant Moses;
naho nampahafohina’o i Sabata’o masiñey naho linili’o fepètse naho fañè vaho i Hake am-pità’ i Mosè mpitoro’oy;
15 And bread from the heavens You have given to them for their hunger, And water from a rock have brought out to them for their thirst, And say to them to go in to possess the land That You have lifted up Your hand to give to 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 And they and our fathers have acted proudly, And harden their neck, And have not listened to Your commands,
Fe nirengevoke, ie naho o roae’aio, nanjì-kàtoke, tsy nañaoñe o lili’oo,
17 Indeed, they refuse to listen, And have not remembered Your wonders that You have done with them, And harden their neck and appoint a head, To turn back to their service, in their rebellion; And You [are] a God of pardons, Gracious, and merciful, long-suffering, and abundant in kindness, And have not forsaken them.
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 Also, when they have made to themselves a molten calf, And say, This [is] your god That brought you up out of Egypt, And do great despisings,
Eka, toe namboatse bania trinanake iereo ami’ty hoe: Intoy ty ndrahare’ areo nañavotse anahareo an-tane Mitsraime, le nanao haloloam-bey;
19 and You, in Your abundant mercies, Have not forsaken them in the wilderness—The pillar of the cloud has not turned aside from off them by day, To lead them in the way, And the pillar of the fire by night, To give light to them and the way in which they go.
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 And Your good Spirit You have given, To cause them to act wisely; And Your manna You have not withheld from their mouth, And water You have given to them 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 And forty years You have nourished them in a wilderness; They have not lacked; Their garments have not worn out, And their feet have not swelled.
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 You give to them kingdoms, and peoples, And apportion them to the corner, And they possess the land of Sihon, And the land of the 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 You have multiplied their sons as the stars of the heavens, And bring them into the land That You have said to their fathers to go in to possess.
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 And the sons come in, and possess the land, And You humble the inhabitants of the land—the Canaanites—before them, And give them into their hand, and their kings, And the peoples of the land, To do with them according to their pleasure.
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 capture fortified cities, and fat ground, And possess houses full of all good, Dug-wells, vineyards, and olive-yards, And fruit-trees in abundance, And they eat, and are satisfied, And become fat, And delight themselves in Your great goodness.
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 And they are disobedient, And rebel against You, And cast Your law behind their back, And Your prophets they have slain, Who testified against them, To bring them back to You, And they do great despisings,
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 And You give them into the hand of their adversaries, And they distress them, And in the time of their distress they cry to You, And You, from the heavens, hear, And according to Your abundant mercies, Give saviors to them, And they save them out of the hand of their adversaries.
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 And when they have rest, They turn back to do evil before You, And You leave them in the hand of their enemies, And they rule over them; And they return, and call You, And You hear from the heavens, And deliver them many times, According to Your mercies,
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 testify against them, To bring them back to Your law; And they have acted proudly, And have not listened to Your commands, And against Your judgments have sinned—Which man does and has lived in them—And they give a stubborn shoulder, And have hardened their neck, And have not listened.
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 And You draw over them many years, And testify against them by Your Spirit, By the hand of Your prophets, And they have not given ear, And You give them into the hand of peoples 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 and in Your abundant mercies You have not made them a consumption, Nor have forsaken them; For a God, gracious and merciful, [are] You.
Fe ami’ty habeim-piferenaiña’o, tsy nimongore’o, tsy hene naforintseñe; ihe Andrianañahare matarike, lifo-pitretrezañe.
32 And now, O our God—God, the great, the mighty, And the fearful, Keeping the covenant and the kindness—Do not let all the travail that has found us be little before You, For our kings, for our heads, and for our priests, And for our prophets, and for our fathers, And for all Your people, From the days of the kings of Asshur to 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 And You [are] righteous concerning all that has come on us, For You have done truth, And we have done wickedly;
Toe vantan-dRehe amy ze he’e nifetsak’ ama’ay; nanao an-kavañonan-dRehe, zahay ka an-karatiañe;
34 And our kings, our heads, Our priests, and our fathers, Have not done Your law, Nor attended to Your commands, And to Your testimonies, That You have testified against 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, in their kingdom, And in Your abundant goodness, That You have given to them, And in the land, the large and the fat, That You have set before them, Have not served You, Nor turned back from their evil doings.
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 Behold, we—today—[are] servants, And the land that You have given to our fathers, To eat its fruit and its good, Behold, we [are] servants on it,
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 its increase it is multiplying to the kings Whom You have set over us In our sins; And over our bodies they are ruling, And over our livestock, According to their pleasure, And we [are] in great distress.
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 And for all this we are making a steadfast covenant, And are writing, And over him who is sealed [Are] our heads, our Levites, [and] our priests.”
Aa ty amy tsaraeñe rezay, le nampijadoñe fañina zahay naho vinoli-fitombo’ o roandria’aio naho o nte-Levi’aio vaho o mpisoro’aio.
