Nehemiah 1
1 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace,
Ty enta’ i Nekemià, ana’ i Hakalià. Ie tamy volan-tsafarin-taom-paha-roapoloy, izaho e Sosane añ’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay,
2 That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and [certain] men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, who were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.
te pok’eo t’i Kananý, raik’ amo rahalahikoo naho ondaty boak’ Iehodào; le nañontaneako o nte-Iehodà nahapolititse, nahafifeake i fandrohizañeio vaho Ierosalaime.
3 And they said to me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province [are] in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also [is] broken down, and its gates are burned with fire.
Le nanoa’ iareo ty hoe, Vata’e misotry naho injeñe o sehanga’e nisisam-pandrohizañe amy borizàñeio; naho narotsak’ ambane ty kijoli’ Ierosalaime vaho niforototoen’ afo o lalambeio.
4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned [certain] days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,
Ie tsinanoko i entañe zay, le nitoboke naho nitañy naho nandala handro an-kandro naho nililitse vaho nisoloho añatrefan’ Añaharen-dindiñey
5 And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:
nanao ty hoe, Mihalaly ama’o iraho ry Iehovà Andrianañaharen-dindimoneñeo, Andrianañahare jabahinake vaho mampañeveñe, mpitàm-pañina naho fiferenaiñañe amo mikoko Aze vaho mañambeñe o lili’eoo.
6 Let thy ear now be attentive, and thy eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned.
Ehe te hañaoñe o ravembia’oo henaneo naho hisokake o fihaino’oo hahafijanjiña’o ty halalim-pitoro’o mitaroñe o ana’ Israele mpitoro’oo ama’o handro an-kaleñe, isolohoako o hakeon’ ana’ Israele nililare’ay ama’oo; songa aman-tahiñe, izaho naho ty anjomban-droaeko.
7 We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.
F’ie toe nimengok’ ama’o, tsy norihe’ay o lili’oo, o fañè’oo vaho o fepètse linili’o añamy Mosèo.
8 Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, [If] ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:
Ehe tiahio ty tsara nampandilie’o i Mosè ami’ty hoe: Naho mandilatse nahareo, le haparaitako amo kilakila’ondatio añe;
9 But [if] ye turn to me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you driven to the uttermost part of the heaven, [yet] will I gather them from thence, and will bring them to the place that I have chosen to set my name there.
f’ie naho mitolik’ amako, mañambeñe o lilikoo vaho anoeñe; le ndra te ama’ areo ty nahifike amparan-dikerañe añe, mbe hatontoko boak’ añe vaho hindeseko mb’ amy toetse jinoboko hampipohako ty añarakoy mb’etoy.
10 Now these [are] thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.
Ie toe mpitoro’o naho ondati’o, jineba’o an-kaozarañe ra’elahy naho an-kafatraram-pità’o.
11 O LORD, I beseech thee, let now thy ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king's cup-bearer.
O Talè, idrakadrakafako, ehe te ho haoñen-dravembia’o ty halalim-pitoro’o toy naho o halalim-pitoro’o mañeveñe amy tahina’oy an-kafaleañeo; le ehe, ampiraoraò ty mpitoro’o te anito, le iferenaiño añatrefa’ indatiy. Izaho henane zay nimpitàm-pitovi’ i mpanjakay.
