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;
Bultii digdamii afuraffaa jiʼa sanaatti Israaʼeloonni wayyaa gaddaa uffatanii, daaraa mataatti firfirfatanii soomaaf walitti qabaman.
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,
Warri sanyii Israaʼel taʼanis namoota ormaa hunda irraa kophaa of baasan. Isaanis kaʼanii cubbuu ofii isaaniitii fi hammina abbootii isaanii himatan.
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.
Isaanis idduma turan sana dhaabatanii kurmaana guyyaatiif Kitaaba Seera Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii keessaa dubbifatan; kurmaana biraa immoo cubbuu isaanii himachaa Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii waaqeffatan.
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.
Lewwonni jechuunis Yeeshuuʼaan, Baaniin, Qadmiiʼeel, Shebaniyaan, Buniin, Sheereebiyaan, Baanii fi Kenaan waltajjiiwwan irra dhaabatanii sagalee ol fudhatanii Waaqayyo isaanii waammatan.
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.
Lewwonni jechuunis Yeeshuuʼaan, Qadmiiʼeel, Baaniin, Hashabniyaan, Sheereebiyaan, Hoodiyaa, Shebaniyaanii fi Phetaayaadhaan, “Kaʼaatii Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan isa bara baraa hamma bara baraatti jiraatu sana galateeffadhaa” jedhan. “Maqaan kee inni ulfina qabeessi haa eebbifamu; eebbaa fi galata hundaa olittis ol ol haa jedhu.
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.
Suma qofatu Waaqayyo. Ati samiiwwan, samiiwwan oliitii fi tuuta urjiiwwan isaanii hunda, lafaa fi waan lafa irra jiru hunda, galaanaa fi waan isaan keessa jiru hunda uumte. Ati waan hundaaf lubbuu kennita; raayyaawwan samiis si waaqeffatu.
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,
“Ati Waaqayyo Waaqa Abraamin filattee biyya Kaldootaa Uuri keessa isa baaftee Abrahaam jettee isa moggaaftee dha.
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,
Ati akka ati yaadni isaa amanamaa siif taʼe argitee biyya Kanaʼaanotaa, Heetotaa, Amoorotaa, Feerzotaa, Yebuusotaatii fi biyya Girgaashotaa sanyiiwwan isaatiif kennuuf kakuu isaaf galte. Ati waan qajeelaa taateef waadaa kee eegdeef.
9 And see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, And their cry have heard by the Sea of Suph,
“Ati rakkina abbootiin keenya biyya Gibxi keessatti rakkatan argite; booʼicha isaan Galaana Diimaa biratti booʼan illee ni dhageesse.
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.
Ati sababii warri Gibxi of tuulummadhaan hammam akka isaan dhiphisan beekteef Faraʼoonitti, qondaaltota isaa hundattii fi saba biyya isaa hundatti mallattoo fi dinqiiwwan argisiifte. Ati maqaa hamma harʼaatti illee jiru ofii keetiif baafatte.
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.
Ati akka isaan lafa gogaa irra darbaniif fuuluma isaanii duratti galaana gargar qoodde; warra isaan ariʼu garuu akkuma dhagaa bishaan guddaatti gad darbatamuu tokkootti tuujubatti gad isaan darbatte.
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.
Guyyaa guyyaa utubaa duumessaatiin isaan qajeelchite; halkan halkan immoo karaa isaan deeman irratti ifa isaaniif kennuuf jettee utubaa ibiddaatiin isaan qajeelchite.
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.
“Ati Tulluu Siinaa irratti gad buute; samii irraas isaanitti dubbate. Ajajawwanii fi seerawwan dhugaa fi qajeelaa, labsiiwwanii fi ajajawwan gaariis isaaniif kennite.
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;
Sanbata kee qulqulluu sana isaan beeksiftee karaa garbicha kee Museetiin ajajawwan, labsiiwwanii fi seerawwan isaaniif kennite.
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.
Yeroo isaan beelaʼanitti samiidhaa buddeena kenniteefii yeroo isaan dheebotanitti immoo kattaa keessaa bishaan baafteef; akka isaan biyya ati isaaniif kennuuf kakatte sanatti galanii dhaalanis isaanitti himte.
16 And they and our fathers have acted proudly, And harden their neck, And have not listened to Your commands,
“Abbootiin keenya garuu of tuulan; mataa jabaataniis ajaja kee eeguu didan.
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.
Jarris ajajamuu didan; dinqii ati isaan gidduutti hojjette hin yaadanne. Garbummaa isaaniitti deebiʼuuf jedhaniis mataa jabaatanii fincila isaaniitiin hoogganaa muuddatan. Ati garuu Waaqa namaaf araaramu, arjaa fi gara laafessa, kan dafee hin aarree fi kan jaalalli isaa dhuma hin qabnee dha. Kanaafuu ati isaan hin ganne;
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,
yeroo isaan ofii isaaniitiif fakkii jabbii tolfatanii, ‘Kun Waaqa keessan kan biyya Gibxii isin baasee dha’ jedhanii Waaqa arrabsanitti illee ati isaan hin ganne.
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.
“Sababii gara laafina kee guddaa sanaatiif ati gammoojjii keessatti isaan hin ganne. Utubaan duumessaa guyyaa guyyaa karaa isaanii irratti isaan geggeessuu hin dhiifne; utubaan ibiddaa immoo halkan halkan karaa isaanii irratti isaaniif ibsuu hin dhiifne.
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,
Isaan barsiisuuf jettee Hafuura kee gaarii sana kennite. Ati mannaa afaan isaaniitii hin dhabamsiifne; dheebuu isaaniitiifis bishaan kenniteef.
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.
Waggaa afurtama gammoojjii keessatti isaan soorte; isaan waan tokko illee hin dhabne; wayyaan isaanii hin dhumne; miilli isaaniis hin iitofne.
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.
“Ati daangaa hunda qooddeefii mootummootaa fi saboota isaaniif kennite. Isaanis akkasiin biyya Sihoon mooticha Heshboonii fi biyya Oogi mooticha Baashaanii fudhatan.
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.
Ati ilmaan isaanii akkuma urjiiwwan samii baayʼifte; biyya akka isaan seenanii dhaalaniif abbootii isaaniitti himte sanatti isaan galchite.
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.
Ilmaan isaanii itti galanii biyya sana dhaalan. Atis Kanaʼaanota biyya sana turan isaan jala galchite; akka jarri waanuma fedhan isaan godhaniif Kanaʼaanota mootota isaaniitii fi saba biyya sanaatiin walitti qabdee dabarsitee harka isaaniitti kennite.
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.
Isaanis magaalaawwan daʼannoo qabanii fi lafa gabbataa qabatan; manneen miʼa gaggaarii gosa hundaatiin guutaman, boollawwan bishaanii qotaman, iddoo dhaabaa wayinii, lafa qotiisaa mukkeen ejersaatii fi mukkeen ija baasan hedduu dhaalan. Isaan nyaatanii quufanii gabbatan; arjummaa kee guddaa sanaanis ni gammadan.
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,
“Isaan garuu ajajamuu didanii sitti fincilan; seera kees of duubatti gatan. Raajota kee kanneen gara keetti isaan deebisuuf jedhanii isaan seeran illee ni fixan; Waaqas ni arrabsan.
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.
Kanaafuu ati diinota isaanii warra isaan cunqursanitti dabarsitee isaan kennite. Isaan garuu yeroo cunqurfamanitti sitti iyyatan. Atis samiidhaa isaan dhageessee gara laafina kee guddaa sanaan namoota harka diinota isaanii jalaa isaan baasan kenniteef.
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,
“Isaan garuu akkuma boqonnaa argataniin amma illee fuula kee duratti waan hamaa hojjetan. Kana irratti ati akka warri sun isaan bulchaniif jettee harka diinota isaaniitti dabarsitee isaan kennite. Yommuu isaan amma illee gara keetti ol iyyatanitti ati samii irraa dhageessee gara laafina keetiin yeroo hedduu isaan furte.
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.
“Ati akka isaan gara seera keetiitti deebiʼaniif isaan akeekkachiifte; isaan immoo of tuulanii ajaja kee eeguu didan. Ajajawwan kee kanneen ‘namni tokko yoo ajajameef ittiin jireenya argachuu dandaʼutti illee’ cubbuu hojjetan. Finciluudhaan dugda isaanii sitti garagalchan; mataa jabaataniis si dhagaʼu didan.
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,
Ati bara hedduu isaaniif obsite. Karaa raajota keetiitiin Hafuura keetiin isaan akeekkachiifte. Taʼus isaan gurra hin kennine; kanaafuu ati dabarsitee saba biyya sanaatti isaan kennite.
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.
Ati garuu sababii Waaqa arjaa fi araara qabeessa taateef, araara kee guddicha sanaaf jettee isaan hin balleessine yookaan isaan hin ganne.
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;
“Kanaafuu amma yaa Waaqa keenya, Waaqa guddicha, jabaa fi sodaachisaa, kan kakuu jaalala keetii eegdu, ati rakkina nutti dhufe kana hunda jechuunis rakkina bara mootota Asoorii jalqabee hamma harʼaatti nutti, mootota keenyaa fi hooggantoota keenyatti, luboota keenyaa fi raajota keenyatti, abbootii keenyaa fi saba kee hundatti dhufe kana akka waan salphaatti hin ilaalin.
33 And You [are] righteous concerning all that has come on us, For You have done truth, And we have done wickedly;
Waan nurra gaʼe hunda keessatti ati qajeelaa dha; nu yoo hamaa hojjenne iyyuu ati waan qajeelaa hojjette.
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;
Mootonni keenya, hooggantoonni keenya, luboonni keenyaa fi abbootiin keenya seera kee duukaa hin buune; isaan ajaja keetiif yookaan akeekkachiisa ati isaaniif kenniteef xiyyeeffannoo hin kennine.
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.
Isaan yeroo ati biyya balʼaa fi lafa gabbataa keessatti waan gaarii isaaniif kennite sana keessatti gammadaa, mootummaa ofii isaanii keessa turanitti illee si hin tajaajille yookaan karaa isaanii hamaa sana irraa hin deebine.
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,
“Kunoo nu harʼa garboota; biyyuma ati akka isaan midhaan isheetii fi waan gaggaarii isheen baaftu nyaataniif jettee abbootii keenyaaf kennite keessatti garboomneerra.
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.
Sababii cubbuu keenyaatiif midhaan ishee baayʼeen sun gara mootota ati nutti muudde sanaa dhaqa. Isaan nuu fi loon keenya illee akkuma fedhan godhu. Nu rakkina guddaa keessa jirra.
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.”
“Sababii waan kana hundaatiif nu walii galtee walitti nu hidhu tokko barreeffamaan qopheessine. Hooggantoonni keenya, Lewwonni keenyaa fi luboonni keenya chaappaawwan isaanii itti rukutan.”
