Nehemiah 9
1 Now in the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackcloth, and earth on them.
Hot patetlah, hate thapa 24 hnin nah Isarelnaw teh rawcahai hoi buri kâkhu teh, vaiphu a kâphuen awh teh kamkhueng awh.
2 The descendants of Israel separated themselves from all foreigners, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.
Isarelnaw teh ram alouknaw koehoi aloukcalah ao awh teh, a yonnae naw hoi mintoenaw e payonnae hah kangdue laihoi a pâpho awh.
3 They stood up in their place, and read in the scroll of the law of Jehovah their God a fourth part of the day; and a fourth part they confessed, and worshiped Jehovah their God.
Amamouh onae hmuen koe lengkaleng a kangdue awh teh, hnin touh hah pali touh lah a kapek awh teh, amamae hmuen koe lengkaleng a kangdue awh teh, buet touh dawk BAWIPA Cathut e kâlawk a touk awh. Buet touh dawk, yon a pâpho awh teh, buet touh dawk BAWIPA Cathut hah a bawk awh.
4 Then Jeshua, and Binnui, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani of the Levites stood up on the stairs, and cried with a loud voice to Jehovah their God.
Hot patetlah, Levih taminaw khalai rasang dawk Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani hoi Kenani naw hah a kangdue awh teh, kacaipounglah BAWIPA Cathut hah a kaw awh.
5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, "Stand up and bless Jehovah your God from everlasting to everlasting. Blessed be your glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.
Hot patetlah, Levih tami, Jeshua hoi Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, hoi Pethahiah naw ni kang dout awh nateh Jehovah Cathut teh a yungyoe hoi a yungyoe pholen awh. Pholennae a Lathueng Poung lah kaawm e, na min lentoenae teh pholennae awm seh telah ati awh.
6 You are Jehovah, even you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their army, the earth and all things that are on it, the seas and all that is in them, and you preserve them all. The army of heaven worships you.
Hahoi maya ni nang duengdoeh Jehovah lah na kaawm. Nama ni kalvan hah na sak. Kalvannaw e kalvan hoi athung kaawmnaw pueng hoi, talai hoi athung kaawmnaw pueng hoi, talî hoi athung kaawm e pueng hah na sak teh, abuemlah na khetyawt. Nang teh kalvan kaawm pueng ni na bawk awh.
7 You are Jehovah, the God who chose Abram, and brought him out of Ur Kasdim, and gave him the name of Abraham,
Nang ni Abraham na rawi teh, Khaldean ram Ur kho hoi na tâcokhai teh, a min lah Abraham telah na ka phung e Jehovah Cathut lah na o.
8 and found his heart faithful before you, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hethite, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite, and the Girgashite, to give it to his descendants, and have performed your words; for you are righteous.
A lungthin teh na hmalah yuemkamcu lah na hmu teh, Kanaan tami, Hit tami, Amor tami, Periz tami, Jebusit tami hoi Girgashite taminaw e ram hah, ca catounnaw poe hanelah lawkkam na sak. Na lawk teh na kuep sak. Bangkongtetpawiteh nang teh na lan.
9 "You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heard their cry by the Red Sea,
Izip ram e mintoenaw rucat khangnae hah na hmu teh, tuipuipaling teng e a hramki awh e lawk hah na thai.
10 and showed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, and against all his servants, and against all the people of his land; for you knew that they dealt proudly against them, and made a name for yourself, as it is this day.
Faro hoi ama koe kaawm e pueng hoi a ram dawk e tami pueng e lathueng vah, mitnoutnae kângairu hah na kamnue sak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, polainae nama dawk ouk a sak awh e hah, nama ni na panue. Hatdawkvah, nama hane na min hah na sak. Sahnin e kaawm e patetlah.
11 You divided the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and you cast their pursuers into the depths, as a stone into the mighty waters.
Hahoi ahnimae hmalah tui hah na kapek teh talai kaphui dawk na cei awh. Ahnimouh thoe ka bo e hah kadung e tui thung, athakaawme tui thung vah talung patetlah na tâkhawng.
12 Moreover, in a pillar of cloud you led them by day; and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light in the way in which they should go.
Kanîthun vah tâmaikhom hoi na hrawi teh, karum lah a cei awh nahane lamthung dawk ka tue hanelah hmaikhom hoi a hrawi.
13 "You came down also on Mount Sinai, and spoke with them from heaven, and gave them right ordinances and true laws, good statutes and commandments,
Sinai mon dawk hoi na kum teh, kalvan hoi ahnimouh koe lawk na dei. Kalan e lawkcengnae, kalan e kâlawk, phunglawknaw hoi kâpoelawk hah na poe.
14 and made known to them your holy Sabbath, and commanded them commandments, and statutes, and a law, by Moses your servant,
Kathounge Sabbath hah na panue sak. Mosi hno lahoi kâ na poe. Phunglawknaw, kâpoelawknaw, hoi kâlawk hah na poe.
15 and gave them bread from the sky for their hunger, and brought forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and commanded them that they should go in to possess the land which you had sworn to give them.
Hahoi a vonhlam navah, kalvan hoi vaiyei na poe. Tui kahran awh navah, lungsong dawk hoi tui na tâcosak teh, poe hanelah na noe pouh e ram hah ao awh nahan na poe.
16 "But they and our fathers dealt proudly and hardened their neck, did not listen to your commandments,
Hateiteh ahnimouh hoi mintoenaw ni polainae hoi a lungpata sak awh. Kâpoelawknaw hah tarawi awh hoeh.
17 and refused to obey, neither were they mindful of your wonders that you did among them, but hardened their neck, and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But you are a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and did not forsake them.
Tarawi han ngai awh hoeh. Kângairu hno na sak e naw hai thai han ngai awh hoeh toe. A lung hah a pata sak awh teh, taran a thaw awh teh san lah a onae koe lah ban hane kahrawikung hah a rawi awh. Hatei nang teh ngaithoum hanelah coungkacoe lah kaawm e Cathut, pahrennae lungmanae, hoi ka kawi e, lung kasawe, hawisaknae moi ka tawn e lah na o teh, ahnimouh teh na cettakhai boihoeh.
18 Yes, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, 'This is your God who brought you up out of Egypt,' and had committed awful blasphemies;
Meikaphawk maitoca a sak awh teh, Izip ram hoi ka tâcawtkhai e Cathut teh puenghoi a lungkhuek nahanlah a sak awh nakunghai,
19 yet you in your manifold mercies did not forsake them in the wilderness: the pillar of cloud did not depart from over them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way in which they should go.
Lungmanae kalenpounge dawk hoi kahrawngum vah na cettakhai boihoeh. Lam ka hrawi hane tâmaikhom ni cettakhai boihoeh. Lam a hmu thai na hanelah karum lah hmaikhom ni cettakhai boihoeh.
20 You gave also your good Spirit to instruct them, and did not withhold your manna from their mouth, and gave them water for their thirst.
Ahnimouh ka cangkhai hanelah, kahawi e na Muitha hah na poe teh, mana hoi na kawk teh nei hanelah tui na poe.
21 "Yes, forty years you sustained them in the wilderness. They lacked nothing. Their clothes did not grow old, and their feet did not swell.
Kahrawngum kum 40 touh thung na kawk. Banghai voutthoupnae awmhoeh. Hnicu a pawnnae awmhoeh. A khoknaw hai phing hoeh.
22 Moreover you gave them kingdoms and peoples, which you allotted according to their portions. So they possessed the land of Sihon king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan.
Hahoi uknaeram hoi miphun hah na poe teh ram buet touh hnukkhu buet touh na rei. Hottelah, Heshbon siangpahrang Sihon ram e, Bashan siangpahrang Og ram hah a la awh.
23 You also multiplied their children as the stars of the sky, and brought them into the land concerning which you said to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it.
Ca catounnaw teh kalvan e âsi yit touh na pung sak teh a coe awh hane mintoenaw koe na dei pouh e patetlah, ram dawk na kâenkhai.
24 "So the children went in and possessed the land, and you subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gave them into their hands, with their kings, and the peoples of the land, that they might do with them as they pleased.
Hot patetlah, ca catounnaw ni ram teh a coe awh. Nama ni hote ram dawk kaawm e Kanaan taminaw hah, ahnimae a hmalah na sung sak teh, a ngai patetlah a sak awh hanelah siangpahrangnaw hoi a ram e taminaw hah a kut dawk na poe.
25 They took fortified cities, and a rich land, and possessed houses full of all good things, cisterns dug out, vineyards, and olive groves, and fruit trees in abundance. So they ate, were filled and became fat, and delighted themselves in your great goodness.
Ka cak e khopuinaw hoi, kahawipoung e ramnaw hah a la awh teh, hnokahawi phunkuep hoi kakawi e imnaw, tai tangcoung e tuikhunaw hoi misur takha hoi, olive takhanaw hoi thingthaikungnaw a pang awh. Hottelah a ca awh teh, a von a paha awh. A thaw teh na lentoenae, na hawinae dawk a phunep awh.
26 "Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against you, and cast your law behind their back, and killed your prophets that testified against them to turn them again to you, and they committed awful blasphemies.
Hateiteh, ahnimouh teh lawkngai awh hoeh. Na taran awh teh, kâlawk hah amamae hnuklah a ta awh teh, nang koe bout ban hanelah, ka yue e profet hah a thei awh teh, puenghoi a tounkhouk awh.
27 Therefore you delivered them into the hand of their adversaries, who distressed them. In the time of their trouble, when they cried to you, you heard from heaven; and according to your manifold mercies you gave them saviors who saved them out of the hand of their adversaries.
Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh hah amamae taran kut dawk na poe toe. Runae a kâhmo awh teh nang koe a hram awh toteh, kalvan hoi na thai pouh teh, lungmanae hoi na kawi dawkvah, taran kut dawk hoi rungngangkung hah na poe.
28 But after they had rest, they did evil again before you; therefore left you them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them; yet when they returned, and cried to you, you heard from heaven; and many times you delivered them according to your mercies,
Hatei a kâhat awh toteh, na hmalah vah, hawihoehnae bout a sak awh dawkvah, taran kut dawk bout na poe. Ahnimouh ni bout a tho awh teh, nang koe bout a hram awh toteh, kalvan hoi na thai pouh teh lungmanae hoi na kawi dawkvah, boutbout na rungngang.
29 and testified against them, that you might bring them again to your law. Yet they dealt proudly, and did not listen to your commandments, but sinned against your ordinances, (which if a man does, he shall live in them), turned their backs, stiffened their neck, and would not hear.
Nange kampangkhai e bout tarawi hanelah, na yue eiteh, ahnimouh ni ngâi awh laipalah, a kâoup awh. Katarawinaw koe hringnae lah kaawm e kâpoelawknaw hah a taran awh. Katepoung e lahuen hoi, lunglennae hoi tarawi laipalah ao awh.
30 Yet many years you put up with them, and testified against them by your Spirit through your prophets. Yet would they not give ear. Therefore you gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.
A kum moikapap ahnimouh na panguep teh, na Muitha lahoi na profetnaw hno lahoi na yue nakunghai, ahnimouh ni ngâi awh hoeh. Hatdawkvah, ram alouknaw e kut dawk na poe toe.
31 "Nevertheless in your manifold mercies you did not make a full end of them, nor forsake them; for you are a gracious and merciful God.
Hatnavah nang ni pahrenlungmanae hoi kakawi e Cathut lah na o teh, pahrennae a len dawkvah, ahnimouh khoeroe na raphoe hoeh, na pahnawt hoeh.
32 Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness, do not let all the travail seem little before you, that has come on us, on our kings, on our leaders, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all your people, since the time of the kings of Assyria to this day.
Hatdawkvah, maimae Cathut, kalen, athakaawme, takikatho e Cathut, pahrennae hoi lawkkam kacakpounge, Assiria siangpahrang uknae koehoi sahnin totouh, kaimae siangpahrang bawi, vaihma, profet, a tami pueng e lathueng ka phat e runae pueng, banglahai noutna hoeh e lah awm hoeh.
33 However you are just in all that has come on us; for you have dealt truly, but we have done wickedly;
Nang ni kaimae lathueng na pha sak e hnonaw teh a kamsoum. Kaimanaw teh, kamsoum hoeh lah hno ka sak awh toe. Nang ni teh yuemkamcu lah na sak.
34 neither have our kings, our leaders, our priests, nor our fathers, kept your law, nor listened to your commandments and your testimonies with which you testified against them.
Maimae siangpahrang hoi ukkungnaw, maimae vaihma hoi mintoenaw ni hai, kâlawk tarawi awh hoeh. Kâpoelawk hoi na panuesaknae, na yuenae thai ngai awh hoeh.
35 For they have not served you in their kingdom, and in your great goodness that you gave them, and in the large and rich land which you gave before them, neither did they turn from their wicked works.
Ahnimanaw teh na uknaeram thung vah, kakaw poung, kahawipoung na poe e dawk thaw tawk ngai awh hoeh. Kahawi hoeh lah tawknae hai kâhat ngai awh hoeh.
36 "Look, we are servants this day, and as for the land that you gave to our fathers to eat its fruit and its good, look, we are servants in it.
Khenhaw! atuvah san lah o awh. Athung e canei katui e hoi hnokahawinaw hah yampa mintoenaw koe na poe e ram dawkvah san lah ka o awh toe.
37 It yields much increase to the kings whom you have set over us because of our sins: also they have power over our bodies, and over our livestock, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.
Ka yon awh dawkvah, siangpahrangnaw ni kaimouh lathueng vah a bawi awh nahanelah, kaimae takthai hoi hnopainaw e lathueng a ngai awh e patetlah kâ a tawn awh toe. Ka lungreithai awh tangngak toe telah a dei awh.
38 Yet for all this, we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our leaders, our Levites, and our priests, seal it."
Hnopainaw dawkvah, kacakpounge lawkkam ka sak awh teh, ka thut awh hnukkhu kacuenaw, vaihmanaw hoi Levih taminaw ni tacik a kin awh.
