Nehemiah 1
1 Words of Nehemiah son of Hachaliah. And it cometh to pass, in the month of Chisleu, the twentieth year, and I have been in Shushan the palace,
Kalmomin Nehemiya ɗan Hakaliya. A cikin watan Kisleb a shekara ta ashirin, yayinda nake a fadar Shusha.
2 and come in doth Hanani, one of my brethren, he and men of Judah, and I ask them concerning the Jews, the escaped part that have been left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem;
Hanani, ɗaya daga cikin’yan’uwana, ya zo daga Yahuda tare da waɗansu mutane. Na kuwa tambaye shi game da raguwar Yahudawan da suka tsira daga kwasan zuwa zaman bauta, da kuma game da Urushalima.
3 and they say to me, 'Those left, who have been left of the captivity there in the province, [are] in great evil, and in reproach, and the wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burnt with fire.'
Suka ce mini, “Waɗanda suka tsira daga kwasan zuwa zaman bauta da kuma suka komo cikin yankin suna cikin babban damuwa da wulaƙanci. An rushe katangar Urushalima aka kuma ƙone ƙofofin da wuta.”
4 And it cometh to pass, at my hearing these words, I have sat down, and I weep and mourn [for] days, and I am fasting and praying before the God of the heavens.
Da na ji waɗannan abubuwa, sai na zauna na yi kuka. Na yi kwanaki ina makoki da azumi, na kuma yi addu’a a gaban Allah na sama.
5 And I say, 'I beseech thee, O Jehovah, God of the heavens, God, the great and the fearful, keeping the covenant and kindness for those loving Him, and for those keeping His commands,
Na ce, “Ya Ubangiji Allah na sama, Allah mai girma da mai banrazana, wanda yake kiyaye alkawarinsa na ƙauna da waɗanda suke ƙaunarsa, suke kuma yin biyayya da umarnansa,
6 let Thine ear be, I pray Thee, attentive, and Thine eyes open, to hearken unto the prayer of Thy servant, that I am praying before Thee to-day, by day and by night, concerning the sons of Israel Thy servants, and confessing concerning the sins of the sons of Israel, that we have sinned against Thee; yea, I and the house of my father have sinned;
ka sa kunne ka kuma buɗe idanunka ka ji addu’ar da bawanka yake yi a gabanka dare da rana saboda bayinka, mutanen Isra’ila. Na furta zunuban da mu Isra’ilawa, har da ni da kuma gidan mahaifina muka yi maka.
7 we have acted very corruptly against Thee, and have not kept the commands, and the statutes, and the judgments, that Thou didst command Moses Thy servant.
Mun yi mugunta gare ka. Ba mu yi biyayya da umarnai, ƙa’idodi da kuma dokokin da ka ba wa bawanka Musa ba.
8 'Remember, I pray Thee, the word that Thou didst command Moses Thy servant, saying, Ye — ye trespass — I scatter you among peoples;
“Ka tuna da umarnan da ka ba wa bawanka Musa, kana cewa, ‘In kun yi rashin aminci, zan warwatsar da ku a cikin al’ummai,
9 and ye have turned back unto Me, and kept My commands, and done them — if your outcast is in the end of the heavens, thence I gather them, and have brought them in unto the place that I have chosen to cause My name to tabernacle there.
amma in kuka dawo gare ni kuka kuma yi biyayya da umarnaina, to, ko mutanenku da aka kwasa zuwa zaman bauta suna can wuri mafi nisa, zan tattara su daga can in kawo su wurin da na zaɓa yă zama wurin zama don Sunana.’
10 And they [are] Thy servants, and Thy people, whom Thou hast ransomed by Thy great power, and by Thy strong hand.
“Su bayinka ne da kuma mutanenka da ka fansa ta wurin ƙarfinka mai girma da kuma hannunka mai iko.
11 'I beseech Thee, O Lord, let, I pray Thee, Thine ear be attentive unto the prayer of Thy servant, and unto the prayer of Thy servants, those delighting to fear Thy Name; and give prosperity, I pray Thee, to Thy servant to-day, and give him for mercies before this man;' and I have been butler to the king.
Ya Ubangiji, ka kasa kunne ga addu’ar wannan bawanka da kuma ga addu’ar bayinka waɗanda suke farin cikin girmama sunanka. Ka ba wa bawanka nasara a yau ta wurinsa yă sami tagomashi a gaban wannan mutum.” Ni ne mai riƙon kwaf sarki.
