Nehemiah 1
1 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now it happened in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace,
Dagiti sasao ni Nehemias a putot ni Hacalias: Ita, napasamak nga iti bulan ti Kislev, iti maika-duapulo a tawen, bayat nga addaak iti nasarekedkedan a siudad ti Susa,
2 that Hanani, one of my brothers, came, he and certain men out of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews who had escaped, who were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.
ket immay ti maysa kadagiti kabsatko a lallaki a ni Hanani, a kaduana dagiti sumagmamano a tattao ti Juda, ket sinaludsodko kadakuada ti maipanggep kadagiti Judio a nakalibas, dagiti nabatbati a Judio nga adda sadiay, ken maipanggep iti Jerusalem.
3 They said to me, "The remnant who are left of the captivity there in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and its gates are burned with fire."
Kinunada kaniak, “Dagiti adda iti probinsia a nakalasat iti pannakaibalud ket kasta unay ti panagsagaba ken pannakaibabainda gapu ta narba ti pader ti Jerusalem, ken napuoran dagiti ruangan daytoy.”
4 It happened, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days; and I fasted and prayed before the God of heaven,
Ket apaman a nangngegko dagitoy a sasao, nagtugawak ket nagsangitak, adu nga aldaw a nagladladingitak, nagay-ayunar ken nagkarkararagak iti sangoanan ti Dios ti langit.
5 and said, "I beg you, LORD, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments:
Kinunak, “O Yahweh, sika ti Dios ti langit, ti Dios a naindaklan ken nakakaskasdaaw, a napudno iti katulaganna ken kinamanangngaasina kadagiti mangipatpateg kenkuana ken mangtungtungpal kadagiti bilinna.
6 Let your ear now be attentive, and your eyes open, that you may listen to the prayer of your servant, which I pray before you at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel your servants while I confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Yes, I and my father's house have sinned.
Denggem ti kararagko ken lukatam dagiti matam tapno mangngegmo ti kararag ti adipenmo nga ikararagko ita iti sangoanam iti aldaw ken rabii para kadagiti tattao ti Israel nga adipenmo. Ak-aklonek dagiti basol dagiti tattao ti Israel, a nagbasolanmi kenka. Nagbasolak ken ti balay ti amak.
7 We have dealt very corruptly against you, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances, which you commanded your servant Moses.
Nagtignaykami a sidadangkes kenka, ken saanmi a tinungpal dagiti bilin, dagiti alagaden ken dagiti paglintegan nga imbilinmo kenni Moises nga adipenmo.
8 "Remember, I beg you, the word that you commanded your servant Moses, saying, 'If you trespass, I will scatter you abroad among the peoples;
Lagipem ti sao nga imbilinmo kenni Moises nga adipenmo, 'No agbalinkayo a saan a napudno, iwaraskayonto kadagiti nasion,
9 but if you return to me, and keep my commandments and do them, though your outcasts were in the uttermost part of the heavens, yet will I gather them from there, and will bring them to the place that I have chosen, to cause my name to dwell there.'
ngem no agsublikayo kaniak ken surotenyo dagiti bilbilinko ken aramidenyo dagitoy, uray no naiwaras dagiti tattaoyo agingga iti kaadaywan a lugar, ummongekto ida manipud sadiay ket ipankonto ida iti dayta a lugar a pinilik a pagtalinaedan ti naganko.'
10 "Now these are your servants and your people, whom you have redeemed by your great power, and by your strong hand.
Ita, isuda dagiti adipenmo ken tattaom nga insalakanmo babaen iti naindaklan a pannakabalinmo ken iti bileg ti imam.
11 Lord, I beg you, let your ear be attentive now to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants, who delight to fear your name; and please prosper your servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man." Now I was cup bearer to the king.
O Yahweh, agpakpakaasiak kenka, denggem ita ti kararag ti adipenmo, ken iti kararag dagiti adipenmo a naragsak nga agdayaw iti naganmo. Pagballigiem ti adipenmo ita nga aldaw ken ipaayam isuna ti asi iti imatang daytoy a tao.” Agserserbiak idi a kas mangimatmaton ti pannakaidasar iti arak ti ari.
