< 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,
Dagiti sasao ni Nehemias a putot ni Hacalias: Ita, napasamak nga iti bulan ti Kislev, iti maika-duapulo a tawen, bayat nga addaak iti nasarekedkedan a siudad ti Susa,
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;
ket immay ti maysa kadagiti kabsatko a lallaki a ni Hanani, a kaduana dagiti sumagmamano a tattao ti Juda, ket sinaludsodko kadakuada ti maipanggep kadagiti Judio a nakalibas, dagiti nabatbati a Judio nga adda sadiay, ken maipanggep iti Jerusalem.
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.'
Kinunada kaniak, “Dagiti adda iti probinsia a nakalasat iti pannakaibalud ket kasta unay ti panagsagaba ken pannakaibabainda gapu ta narba ti pader ti Jerusalem, ken napuoran dagiti ruangan daytoy.”
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.
Ket apaman a nangngegko dagitoy a sasao, nagtugawak ket nagsangitak, adu nga aldaw a nagladladingitak, nagay-ayunar ken nagkarkararagak iti sangoanan ti Dios ti langit.
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,
Kinunak, “O Yahweh, sika ti Dios ti langit, ti Dios a naindaklan ken nakakaskasdaaw, a napudno iti katulaganna ken kinamanangngaasina kadagiti mangipatpateg kenkuana ken mangtungtungpal kadagiti bilinna.
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;
Denggem ti kararagko ken lukatam dagiti matam tapno mangngegmo ti kararag ti adipenmo nga ikararagko ita iti sangoanam iti aldaw ken rabii para kadagiti tattao ti Israel nga adipenmo. Ak-aklonek dagiti basol dagiti tattao ti Israel, a nagbasolanmi kenka. Nagbasolak ken ti balay ti amak.
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.
Nagtignaykami a sidadangkes kenka, ken saanmi a tinungpal dagiti bilin, dagiti alagaden ken dagiti paglintegan nga imbilinmo kenni Moises nga adipenmo.
8 'Remember, I pray Thee, the word that Thou didst command Moses Thy servant, saying, Ye — ye trespass — I scatter you among peoples;
Lagipem ti sao nga imbilinmo kenni Moises nga adipenmo, 'No agbalinkayo a saan a napudno, iwaraskayonto kadagiti nasion,
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.
ngem no agsublikayo kaniak ken surotenyo dagiti bilbilinko ken aramidenyo dagitoy, uray no naiwaras dagiti tattaoyo agingga iti kaadaywan a lugar, ummongekto ida manipud sadiay ket ipankonto ida iti dayta a lugar a pinilik a pagtalinaedan ti naganko.'
10 And they [are] Thy servants, and Thy people, whom Thou hast ransomed by Thy great power, and by Thy strong hand.
Ita, isuda dagiti adipenmo ken tattaom nga insalakanmo babaen iti naindaklan a pannakabalinmo ken iti bileg ti imam.
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.
O Yahweh, agpakpakaasiak kenka, denggem ita ti kararag ti adipenmo, ken iti kararag dagiti adipenmo a naragsak nga agdayaw iti naganmo. Pagballigiem ti adipenmo ita nga aldaw ken ipaayam isuna ti asi iti imatang daytoy a tao.” Agserserbiak idi a kas mangimatmaton ti pannakaidasar iti arak ti ari.
