< Nehemiah 1 >
1 [the] words of Nehemiah [the] son of Hacaliah and it was in [the] month of (Kislev *Q(k)*) year twenty and I I was in Susa the citadel.
O NA olelo a Nehemia ke keiki a Hakalia. I ka malama o Kiseleu, i ka iwakalua o ka makahiki, iloko no wau o Susana o ka pakaua;
2 And he came Hanani one of brothers my he and people from Judah and I asked them about the Jews the escaped remnant who they had survived from the captivity and on Jerusalem.
A hiki mai la o Hanani, kekahi o na hoahanau o'u, oia a mo kekahi mau kanaka o ka Iuda; a ninau aku au ia lakou no ka poe o ka Iuda i pakele, ka poe i koe i ka lawe pio ana, a no Ierusalema no hoi.
3 And they said to me the survivors who they have survived from the captivity there in the province [are] in trouble great and in disgrace and [the] wall of Jerusalem [has been] broken down and gates its they have been burned with fire.
A i mai la lakou ia'u, O ka poe i haaleleia malaila, ma ka mokuna, ka poe i koe i ka lawe pio ana, iloko no lakou o ka popilikia nui a me ka hoinoia mai; a o ka pa o Ierusalema, ua hoohioloia, a o na panipuka no hoi ona, ua pau i ke ahi.
4 And it was when heard I - the words these I sat down and I wept and I mourned! days and I was fasting and praying before [the] God of the heavens.
A i ko'u lohe ana i keia mau mea, noho no au ilalo, a uwe iho la, a kaniuhu no hoi i kekahi mau la, e hoopololi ana a e pule ana hoi imua o ke Akua o ka lani,
5 And I said I beg you O Yahweh [the] God of the heavens the God great and awesome [who] keeps the covenant and covenant loyalty to [those who] love him and to [those who] keep commandments his.
A i aku la, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e Iehova ke Akua o ka lani, ke Akua nui hooweliweli, e malama ana i ka berita a i ke aloha no ka poe i aloha aku ia ia a malama hoi i kana mau kauoha;
6 May it be please ear your attentive and eyes your open to listen to [the] prayer of servant your which I [am] praying before you this day by day and night on [the] people of Israel servants your and [am] confessing on [the] sins of [the] people of Israel which we have sinned to you and I and [the] house of father my we have sinned.
E haliu mai no kou pepeiao, a e kaakaa kou mau maka i lohe oe i ka pule a kau kauwa, a'u e pule aku nei imua ou i keia la. i ke ao a me ka po, no na mamo a Iseraela, kau poe kauwa; e hai aku ana hoi i na hewa a na mamo a Iseraela a makou i hana hewa a aku ai ia oe; owau a me ko ka hale o ko'u makuakane, ua hana hewa no makou.
7 Surely we have acted corruptly to you and not we have kept the commandments and the statutes and the judgments which you commanded Moses servant your.
Ua hana ino loa aku no makou ia oe, aole hoi i malama makou i na kauoha, a me na kanawai a me na olelo kupaa, au i kauoha mai ai ia Mose i kau kauwa.
8 Remember please the word which you commanded Moses servant your saying you you will act unfaithfully I I will scatter you among the peoples.
Ke noi aku nei au ia oe o hoomanao oe i ka olelo au i kauoha mai ai ia Mose i kau kauwa, i mai la, A hana hewa oukou, e hoopuehu aku no au ia oukou iwaena o na lahuikanaka;
9 And you will turn back to me and you will keep commandments my and you will observe them if it will be banished [one] your at [the] end of the heavens from there I will gather them (and I will bring them *Q(k)*) to the place where I have chosen to cause to dwell name my there.
Aka, ina huli mai oukou ia'u, a malama i ka'u mau kauoha, a hana hoi ia; alaila ina i kipakuia kekahi o oukou ma ka palena o ka lani, e houluulu au ia lakou malaila mai, a e lawe mai ia lakou ma kahi a'u i wae ai e waiho i ko'u inoa malaila.
10 And they [are] servants your and people your whom you redeemed by strength your great and by hand your mighty.
A, o lakou la, o kau poe kauwa no a me kou poe kanaka, au i hoopakele ai me kou mana nui, a me kou lima ikaika.
11 I beg you O Lord may it be please ear your attentive to [the] prayer of servant your and to [the] prayer of servants your delighting to fear name your and grant success! please to servant your this day and give him compassion before the man this and I I was cup bearer of the king.
Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ka Haku e, e haliu mai kou pepeiao i ka pule a kau kauwa, a i ka pule a kau mau kauwa e makemake ana e makau i kou inoa; a e kokua mai oe i kau kauwa, i keia la, a haawi mai ia ia i ka lokomaikaiia mai imua o keia kanaka. No ka mea, owau ka mea lawe kiaha no ke alii.
