Nehemiah 9
1 And on day twenty and four of the month this they gathered [the] people of Israel with fasting and in sackcloth and earth [was] on them.
El día veinte y cuatro de ese mes se congregaron los hijos de Israel para un ayuno, cubiertos de saco y polvo.
2 And they separated themselves [the] offspring of Israel from all sons of foreignness and they stood and they confessed on sins their and [the] iniquities of ancestors their.
Y separado ya el linaje de Israel de todos los extranjeros, se pusieron de pie e hicieron confesión de sus pecados y de las iniquidades de sus padres.
3 And they stood at place their and they read aloud in [the] scroll of [the] law of Yahweh God their [the] fourth of the day and a fourth [they were] confessing and [they were] bowing down to Yahweh God their.
Puestos en pie, cada uno en su lugar, leyeron en el Libro de la Ley de Yahvé su Dios, durante la cuarta parte del día; (otra) cuarta parte emplearon para la confesión y adoración de Yahvé, su Dios.
4 And he stood on [the] platform of the Levites Jeshua and Bani Kadmiel Shebaniah Bunni Sherebiah Bani Kenani and they cried out with a voice great to Yahweh God their.
Subieron a la tribuna de los levitas: Jesúa, Baní, Cadmiel, Sebanías, Buní, Serebías y Kenaní, que en alta voz clamaron a Yahvé, su Dios.
5 And they said the Levites Jeshua and Kadmiel Bani Hashabneiah Sherebiah Hodiah Shebaniah Pethahiah arise bless Yahweh God your from antiquity until perpetuity and may people bless [the] name of glory your and [may it] be exalted above all blessing and praise.
Y dijeron los levitas Jesúa, Cadmiel, Baní, Hasebnías. Serebías, Hodías, Sebanías y Petahías: “¡Levantaos y bendecid a Yahvé, vuestro Dios, de eternidad en eternidad; y sea bendito el nombre de tu gloria que es superior a toda bendición y alabanza!
6 You he [are] Yahweh to alone you (you *Q(K)*) you made the heavens [the] heavens of the heavens and all host their the earth and all that [is] on it the seas and all that [is] in them and you [are] preserving alive all of them and [the] host of the heavens to you [are] bowing down.
Tú solo eres el Señor, Tú que hiciste el cielo, y el cielo de los cielos, con toda su milicia; la tierra con todo cuanto hay en ella y los mares con todo lo que en ellos existe. Tú das vida a todas estas cosas, y la milicia del cielo te adora.
7 You he [are] Yahweh God who you chose Abram and you brought out him from Ur of [the] Chaldeans and you made name his Abraham.
Tú, Yahvé, eres el Dios que escogiste a Abram, le sacaste de Ur de los caldeos y le diste el nombre de Abrahán.
8 And you found heart his faithful before you and you made with him the covenant to give [the] land of the Canaanite[s] the Hittite[s] the Amorite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Jebusite[s] and the Girgashite[s] to give to offspring his and you fulfilled words your for [are] righteous you.
Tú hallaste fiel su corazón delante de Ti, e hiciste con él un pacto, de dar a su descendencia el país del cananeo, del heteo, del amorreo, del fereceo, del jebuseo y del gergeseo; y Tú has cumplido tu palabra, pues eres justo.
9 And you saw [the] affliction of ancestors our in Egypt and outcry their you heard at [the] sea of reed[s].
Tú miraste la aflicción de nuestros padres en Egipto, oíste su clamor junto al Mar Rojo,
10 And you gave signs and wonders on Pharaoh and on all servants his and on all [the] people of land his for you knew that they had acted presumptuously on them and you made for yourself a name as the day this.
e hiciste señales y prodigios contra el Faraón, contra todos sus siervos y contra todo el pueblo de su país; pues sabías que los habían tratado con soberbia. Así te hiciste un nombre, como (se ve todavía) hoy.
11 And the sea you split open before them and they passed in [the] middle of the sea on the dry ground and pursuers their you threw in [the] depths like a stone in waters mighty.
Tú dividiste delante de ellos el mar, por en medio del cual pasaron a pie enjuto, y arrojaste a sus perseguidores en el abismo como (se arroja) una piedra en aguas impetuosas.
12 And in a pillar of cloud you led them by day and in a pillar of fire night to light up for them the way which they walked in it.
Tú en columna de nube los condujiste de día, y en columna de fuego de noche, para alumbrarles la senda por donde habían de caminar.
13 And on [the] mountain of Sinai you came down and you spoke with them from heaven and you gave to them judgments upright and laws of faithfulness statutes and commandments good.
Tú bajaste sobre el monte Sinaí, y hablaste con ellos desde el cielo, dándoles normas rectas, leyes de verdad, mandamientos y preceptos excelentes.
14 And [the] sabbath of holiness your you made known to them and commandments and statutes and [the] law you commanded to them by [the] hand of Moses servant your.
Tú les hiciste conocer tu santo sábado y les ordenaste preceptos, mandamientos y la Ley por medio de Moisés, tu siervo.
15 And bread from heaven you gave to them for hunger their and water from a rock you brought forth for them for thirst their and you said to them to go to take possession of the land which you had lifted hand your to give to them.
Tú para su hambre les diste pan del cielo y para su sed hiciste brotar aguas de la peña, y les dijiste que tomasen posesión del país que con mano alzada les prometiste dar.”
16 And they and ancestors our they acted presumptuously and they stiffened neck their and not they listened to commandments your.
“Pero ellos y nuestros padres obraron con soberbia, y endureciendo su cerviz no escucharon tus mandamientos.
17 And they refused to listen and not they remembered wonders your which you had done with them and they stiffened neck their and they appointed a leader to return to servitude their in rebellion their and you [are] a God forgiveness gracious and compassionate long of anger and great (of covenant loyalty *Q(K)*) and not you abandoned them.
Rehusaron oírlos ni se acordaron de los prodigios que Tú habías hecho a favor de ellos; endurecieron su cerviz, y en su rebeldía se eligieron un caudillo para volver a su servidumbre. Tú, empero, eres el Dios que perdona, y eres clemente y misericordioso, de larga espera y de mucha bondad, por lo cual no los abandonaste,
18 Even for they had made for themselves a calf of molten metal and they had said this [is] god your who he brought up you from Egypt and they had done blasphemies great.
ni aún, cuando se hicieron un becerro de fundición y dijeron: «¡Este es tu Dios que te hizo subir de Egipto!», y cometieron grandes blasfemias.
19 And you in compassion your great not you abandoned them in the wilderness [the] pillar of cloud not it departed from over them in daytime their to lead them in the way and [the] pillar of fire at night to light up for them and the way which they walked in it.
Tú, no obstante, en tu gran misericordia no los abandonaste en el desierto: la columna de nube no se apartó de ellos de día para conducirlos en el camino, ni la columna de fuego de noche para alumbrarles el camino que tenían que seguir.
20 And spirit your good you gave to instruct them and manna your not you withheld from mouth their and water you gave to them for thirst their.
Tú les diste también tu buen Espíritu para instruirlos; no rehusaste dar tu maná a su boca, y les presentaste aguas para su sed.
21 And forty year[s] you sustained them in the wilderness not they were lacking clothes their not they wore out and feet their not they became swollen.
Por cuarenta años los sustentaste en el desierto, sin que nada les faltase; no se gastaron sus vestidos, ni se hinchó su pie.
22 And you gave to them kingdoms and peoples and you apportioned them to a corner and they took possession of [the] land of Sihon and [the] land of [the] king of Heshbon and [the] land of Og [the] king of Bashan.
Después les diste reinos y pueblos, repartiendo entre ellos sus territorios, y tomaron en posesión el país de Sehón, el país del rey de Hesbón y el país de Og, rey de Basán.
23 And children their you increased like [the] stars of the heavens and you brought them into the land which you had said to ancestors their to go to take possession of.
Multiplicaste sus hijos como las estrellas del cielo, y los introdujiste en el país del cual habías dicho a sus padres que entrarían en su posesión.
24 And they went the children and they took possession of the land and you subdued before them [the] inhabitants of the land the Canaanites and you gave them in hand their and kings their and [the] peoples of the land to do with them according to will their.
En efecto, los hijos entraron y tomaron posesión del país, en tanto que Tú humillaste delante de ellos a los habitantes del país, los cananeos, y los entregaste en sus manos, con sus reyes y los pueblos del país, para que hiciesen con ellos lo que quisiesen.
25 And they captured cities fortified and ground fertile and they took possession of houses full every good thing wells dug out vineyards and olive trees and tree[s] of food to abundance and they ate and they were satisfied and they grew fat and they luxuriated in goodness your great.
Tomaron ciudades fortificadas y una tierra pingüe; se apoderaron de casas llenas de toda suerte de bienes, de cisternas excavadas, de viñas, olivares y árboles frutales en abundancia; y comieron y se saciaron y engordaron y vivieron en delicia merced a tu gran bondad.
26 And they were disobedient and they rebelled against you and they threw law your behind back their and prophets your they killed who they had warned them to bring back them to you and they did blasphemies great.
Pero, fueron rebeldes y se levantaron contra Ti, echando tu Ley detrás de sus espaldas; y mataron a tus profetas, que daban testimonio contra ellos para convertirlos a Ti, y profirieron grandes blasfemias.
27 And you gave them in [the] hand of opponents their and they caused distress to them and in [the] time of distress their they cried out to you and you from heaven you heard and according to compassion your great you gave to them deliverers and they delivered them from [the] hand of opponents their.
Por eso los entregaste en manos de sus enemigos, que los oprimieron; pero cuando en el tiempo de su angustia clamaron a Ti, los oíste desde el cielo, y según la multitud de tus misericordias les diste libertadores que los salvasen del poder de sus enemigos.
28 And just as was rest to them they returned to do evil before you and you abandoned them in [the] hand of enemies their and they ruled over them and they returned and they cried out to you and you from heaven you heard and you rescued them according to compassion your many times.
Apenas tuvieron descanso, volvieron a hacer lo malo delante de Ti, por lo cual volviste a abandonarlos en manos de sus enemigos, que los dominaron, y cuando de nuevo clamaron a Ti, Tú desde el cielo los escuchaste y según la multitud de tus misericordias los libraste muchas veces.
29 And you warned them to bring back them to law your and they they acted presumptuously and not they listened to commandments your and in judgments your they sinned in them which he will do anyone and he will live by them and they gave a shoulder stubborn and neck their they stiffened and not they listened.
Tú diste testimonio contra ellos para convertirlos a tu Ley; pero ellos en su soberbia no escucharon tus mandamientos; pecaron contra tus preceptos, en cuya observancia halla el hombre la vida, mostraron hombros rebeldes, endurecieron su cerviz y no quisieron escuchar.
30 And you prolonged towards them years many and you warned them by spirit your by [the] hand of prophets your and not they gave ear and you gave them in [the] hand of [the] peoples of the lands.
Tú los sufriste muchos años, y diste testimonio contra ellos por tu Espíritu, por medio de tus profetas. Pero ellos no dieron oídos por lo cual los entregaste en manos de los pueblos de estos países.
31 And in compassion your great not you made them complete destruction and not you abandoned them for [are] a God gracious and compassionate you.
Con todo esto, en tu gran misericordia no acabaste con ellos, ni los abandonaste; porque eres un Dios clemente y misericordioso.
32 And therefore O God our God great mighty and awesome [the] keeper of the covenant and covenant loyalty may not it be small before you all the hardship which it has come upon us to kings our to leaders our and to priests our and to prophets our and to ancestors our and to all people your since [the] days of [the] kings of Assyria until the day this.
Ahora, oh Dios nuestro, Dios grande, fuerte y temible, que guardas la Alianza y la misericordia, no tengas en poco toda esta angustia que ha venido sobre nosotros, sobre nuestros reyes y nuestros príncipes, sobre nuestros sacerdotes y nuestros profetas, sobre nuestros padres y todo nuestro pueblo, desde los días de los reyes de Asiria hasta el día de hoy.
33 And you [are] righteous on every [thing which] has come on us for faithfulness you have acted and we we have acted wickedly.
Tú has sido justo en todo lo que nos ha sobrevenido; porque has obrado con fidelidad, mas nosotros hemos hecho el mal.
34 And kings our leaders our priests our and ancestors our not they did law your and not they paid attention to commandments your and to testimonies your which you admonished them.
Nuestros reyes y nuestros príncipes, nuestros sacerdotes y nuestros padres no han cumplido tu Ley, no hicieron caso de tus mandamientos, ni de los testimonios que diste contra ellos.
35 And they in own kingdom their and in goodness your great which you had given to them and in [the] land broad and fertile which you had set before them not they served you and not they turned back from deeds their evil.
Ellos, al contrario, a pesar de la gran bondad con que los trataste, no te sirvieron en su reino, en la tierra espaciosa y pingüe que les pusiste delante, ni se convirtieron de sus malas obras.
36 Here! we this day [are] slaves and the land which you gave to ancestors our to eat fruit its and good thing[s] its here! we [are] slaves on it.
He aquí que hoy somos siervos; sí, somos siervos en ese mismo país que Tú diste a nuestros padres, para que comiéramos sus frutos y sus bienes.
37 And produce its [is] increasing for the kings whom you have appointed over us in sins our and over bodies our [they are] ruling and over cattle our according to will their and [are] in distress great we.
Sus abundantes frutos son para los reyes que Tú has puesto sobre nosotros a causa de nuestros pecados. Ellos dominan, según su antojo, sobre nuestros cuerpos y nuestras bestias, y vivimos en gran angustia.”
38 And in all this we [are] making a trustworthy arrangement and writing and [are] on the sealed [document] leaders our Levites our priests our.
“A raíz de todo esto, hacemos un pacto fiel, que ponemos por escrito; y nuestros príncipes, nuestros levitas y nuestros sacerdotes han de imprimirle sus sellos.”
