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.
Pa inge takinyen orekma yohk su Nehemiah, wen natul Hacaliah, el orala. Ke malem in Kislev in yac aklongoul ma Artaxerxes el tokosra fulat lun Persia, nga, Nehemiah, muta Susa, siti fulat lun acn Persia.
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.
Hanani, sie sin tamulel luk, el wi u se tuku Judah me, ac nga siyuk selos ke acn Jerusalem ac ke mwet Jew wiasr su folokla liki sruoh in acn Babylonia.
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.
Elos fahk nu sik lah mwet su painmoulla ac folokla muta yen selos ah, arulana upa moul lalos, ac mwetsac su muta apkuran nu yorolos elos aklusrongtenyalos. Na elos fahk pac nu sik lah pot Jerusalem srakna musalla oan, oayapa mutunpot uh soenna orekla tukun pacl se firiryak ah.
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.
Ke nga lohng ma inge nukewa, nga putati ac tung. Nga asor ke len na pus, ac nga tiana mongo. Nga pre nu sin God ac fahk,
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.
“LEUM GOD lun Kusrao! Kom fulat, ac kut arulana sangeng sum. Kom oaru na in karingin wuleang lom nu selos su lungse kom ac oru ma kom sapkin.
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.
Ngetma liyeyu, LEUM GOD, ac porongo pre luk, ke nga siyuk len ac fong ke mwet kulansap lom, mwet Israel. Nga fahkak lah kut, mwet Israel, orekma koluk. Nga ac mwet matu luk orekma koluk.
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.
Kut arulana aktoasrye kom, ac tia oru ma kom sapkin. Kut tia liyaung ma sap lom ma kom sang nu sel Moses mwet kulansap lom elan ase nu sesr.
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.
Inge, esam ke kom fahk nu sel Moses, ‘Kowos mwet Israel fin tia pwaye nu sik, nga ac akfahsryekowoselik inmasrlon mutunfacl ngia.
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.
Tusruktu kowos fin foloko nu yuruk ac oru ma nga sapkin nu suwos, nga ac folokinkowosme nu yen nga sulela tuh mwet uh in alu nu sik we, kowos finne fahsrelik nu yen saflaiyen faclu.’
10 And they [are] servants your and people your whom you redeemed by strength your great and by hand your mighty.
“O Leum, mwet inge elos mwet kulansap lom ac mwet lom sifacna. Kom molelosla ke ku yoklana lom.
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.
Lipsre mwe siyuk luk inge, oayapa pre lun mwet kulansap lom nukewa ngia su kena akfulatye kom. Ase wo ouiya nu sik misenge, ac oru tuh tokosra fulat elan pakoten nu sik.” In len ingo, nga tuh mwet okwok wain lun tokosra fulat.
