Nehemiah 9

1 And in the twenty and fourth day of this month have the sons of Israel been gathered, with fasting, and with sackcloth, and earth upon them;

I KA la iwakaluakumamaha o keia malama, ua houluuluia mai la ka Iseraela me ka hookeai ana, a me ke kapa inoino, a me ka lepo maluna iho o lakou.

2 and the seed of Israel are separated from all sons of a stranger, and stand and confess concerning their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers,

Hookaawaleia ae la ka Iseraela mai waena aku o na malihini a pau, ku ae la lakou, a hai aku la i ko lakou hala, a me na howa o ko lakou poe kupuna.

3 and rise up on their station, and read in the book of the law of Jehovah their God a fourth of the day, and a fourth they are confessing and bowing themselves to Jehovah their God.

Ku ae la lakou iluna ma ko lakou wahi, a heluhelu iho la ma ka buke o ke kanawai o Iehova ko lakou Akua a hala ka hapaha o ka la; a i kekahi hapaha, hai aku la lakou i ka hewa, a hoomana aku ia Iehova ko lakou Akua.

4 And there stand up on the ascent, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, Chenani, and they cry with a loud voice unto Jehovah their God.

Ku ae la ma kahi kiekie, o na Levi, o Iesua, a me Bani, Kademiela, Sebania, Buni, Serebia, Bani, Kenani, a kahea aku la lakou me ka leo nui ia Iehova ko lakou Akua.

5 And the Levites say, [even] Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, Pethahiah, 'Rise, bless Jehovah your God, from the age unto the age, and they bless the name of Thine honour that [is] exalted above all blessing and praise.

A ololo aku la na Levi, o Iosua, a me Kademiela, Bani, Hasabenia, Sorebia, Hodia, Sebania, Petahia, E ku ae oukou, o hoomaikai aku ia Iehova ko oukou Akua ia ao aku ia ao aku: a e hoomaikaiia'ku kou inoa hanohano i hookiekieia maluna ao o ka hoomaikai ana a pau a me ka hoolea ana'ku.

6 Thou [art] He, O Jehovah, Thyself — Thou hast made the heavens, the heavens of the heavens, and all their host, the earth and all that [are] on it, the seas and all that [are] in them, and Thou art keeping all of them alive, and the host of the heavens to Thee are bowing themselves.

O oe no o Iehova, a o oe wale no; nau no i hana ka lani, a me ka lani o na lani, a me ko laila mau mea a pau, i ka honua, a me na mea a pau maluna iho ona, i na kai, a me na mea a pau iloko olaila, nau no hoi e malama ia mau mea a pau; a ke hoomana nei ko ka lani ia oe.

7 'Thou [art] He, O Jehovah God, who didst fix on Abraham, and didst bring him out from Ur of the Chaldeans, and didst make his name Abraham,

O oe no, o Iehova, ke Akua nana i koho iho ia Aberama, a alakai mai la ia ia mailoko mai o Ura no ko Kaledea, a kapa iho la oe i kona inoa o Aberahama.

8 and didst find his heart stedfast before Thee, so as to make with him the covenant, to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite, and the Girgashite, to give [it] to his seed. 'And Thou dost establish Thy words, for Thou [art] righteous,

Loaa iho la ia oe kona naau he kupaa imua ou, a hoohiki iho la oe me ia i ka berita e haawi i ka aina o na Kanaana, na Heta, na Amora a me na Periza, a me na Iebusa, a me na Giregasa, e haawi no i kana poe mamo, a hooko iho no oe i kau olelo; no ka mea, he mea hana pololei no oe.

9 and dost see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and their cry hast heard by the sea of Suph,

Ike aku la oe i ka popilikia o ko makou poe kupuna ma Aigupita, a hoolohe no hoi oe ma ke Kaiula i ko lakou kahea ana'ku.

10 and dost give signs and wonders on Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land, for Thou hast known that they have acted proudly against them, and Thou makest to Thee a name as [at] this day.

Hana iho la oe i na mea hoike, a me na mea kupanaha maluna o Parao, a maluna o kana poo kauwa a pau, a maluna hoi o ka poe kanaka a pau o kona aina; no ka mea, ua ike oe i ka lakou hana hookiokie ana maluna o lakou. Pela no oe i hookanlana i kou inoa e like me ia i neia la.

11 And the sea Thou hast cleaved before them, and they pass over into the midst of the sea on the dry land, and their pursuers Thou hast cast into the depths, as a stone, into the strong waters.

Hookaawale ae la no hoi oe i ke kai imua o lakou, i hele lakou iwaena konu o ke kai ma ka aina maloo; a kiola aku la oe i ka poe e alualu ana ia lakou iloko o ka hohonu, mo he pohaku la iloko o na wai nui.

12 And by a pillar of cloud Thou hast led them by day, and by a pillar of fire by night, to lighten to them the way in which they go.

Me ke kia ao no oe i alakai ai ia lakou i ke ao; a, me ke kia ahi no hoi i ka po i malamalama no lakou ma ko alanui a lakou e hele ai.

13 'And on mount Sinai Thou hast come down, even to speak with them from the heavens, and Thou dost give to them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commands.

Iho mai la oe maluna o ka mauna o Sinai, olelo pu mo lakou mai ka lani mai, a haawi mai la oe ia lakou i na olelo kupaa he pololei, a me na kapu ho oiaio, i na kanawai a me na kauoha he maikai:

14 And Thy holy sabbath Thou hast made known to them, and commands, and statutes, and law, Thou hast commanded for them, by the hand of Moses Thy servant;

Hoike mai la oe ia lakou i kou Sabati hoano, a kau aku la maluna o lakou i na kauoha, a me na olelo kupaa, a me ke kanawai ma ka lima o Mose kau kauwa.

15 and bread from the heavens Thou hast given to them for their hunger, and water from a rock hast brought out to them for their thirst, and dost say to them to go in to possess the land that Thou hast lifted up Thy hand to give to them.

Haawi mai la oe ia lakou i ka berena mai ka lani mai no ko lakou pololi, a hookaho mai la hoi i ka wai no lakou mailoko mai o ka pohaku no ko lakou makewai ana, a olelo aku oe ia lakou e komo a e lilo ia lakou ka aina au i hoohiki ai e haawi ia lakou.

16 'And they and our fathers have acted proudly, and harden their neck, and have not hearkened unto Thy commands,

Aka, o lakou a me ko makou poe kupuna ua hana hookiekie no, a hooolea i ko lakou a-i, aole hoi i hoolohe i kau mau kauoha;

17 yea, they refuse to hearken, and have not remembered Thy wonders that Thou hast done with them, and harden their neck and appoint a head, to turn back to their service, in their rebellion; and Thou [art] a God of pardons, gracious, and merciful, long-suffering, and abundant in kindness, and hast not forsaken them.

Hoole aku lakou, aole e hoolohe, aole hoi lakou i hoomanao i kau mau hana kupanaha au i hana'i me lakou; hooolea no lakou i ko lakou a-i, a i ko lakou kipi ana, koho iho la lakou i luna, i hoi aku ai lakou ma ko lakou hookauwa ana: aka, o oe ke Akua e kala ana i ka hala, he oluolu a me ka lokomaikai, he ahonui a me ke aloha nui, nolaila, aole oe i haalele ia lakou.

18 'Also, when they have made to themselves a molten calf, and say, this [is] thy god that brought thee up out of Egypt, and do great despisings,

Eia hoi, i ka wa a lakou i hana'i i bipikeiki i hooheeheeia, a olelo ae la, Eia kou Akua nana oe i alakai mailoko mai o Aigupita, a hana no hoi lakou i na mea hoonaukiuki loa;

19 and Thou, in Thine abundant mercies, hast not forsaken them in the wilderness — the pillar of the cloud hath not turned aside from off them by day, to lead them in the way, and the pillar of the fire by night, to give light to them and the way in which they go.

Alaila, aole oe i haalele ia lakou ma ka waonahele, no kou lokomaikai he nui loa; aole no i haalele ke kia ao ia lakou i ke ao, e alakai ana ia lakou ma ke alanui; aole hoi i haalele ke kia ahi i ka po i malamalama no lakou ma ke alanui a lakou e hele ai.

20 'And Thy good Spirit Thou hast given, to cause them to act wisely; and Thy manna Thou hast not withheld from their mouth, and water Thou hast given to them for their thirst,

Haawi mai la no hoi oe i kou Uhane maikai e ao mai ia lakou, aole hoi oe i kaili i kau mane mai ko lakou waha mai, a haawi aku oe ia lakou i ka wai no ko lakou makewai ana.

21 and forty years Thou hast nourished them in a wilderness; they have not lacked; their garments have not worn out, and their feet have not swelled.

Hookahi kanaha makahiki au i malama aku ai ia lakou ma ka waonahele, aole lakou i nele i kekahi mea; aole i weluwelu ko lakou aabu, aole hoi i pehu ko lakou mau wawae.

22 'And Thou givest to them kingdoms, and peoples, and dost apportion them to the corner, and they possess the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan.

Haawi mai oe ia lakou i na aupuni a me na labuikanaka, a hoopuehu aku oe ia poe ma ko kihi, i lilo no lakou ka aina o Sihona, a me ka aina o ke alii o Hesebona, a me ka aina o Oga ke alii o Basana.

23 And their sons Thou hast multiplied as the stars of the heavens, and bringest them in unto the land that Thou hast said to their fathers to go in to possess.

Hoomabuahua iho la no hoi oe i ka lakou poe mamo e like me na hoku o ka lani, a hookomo ae la ia lakou iloko o ka aina au i olelo ai i ko lakou poe kupuna, e komo lakou a e lilo ia ia lakou.

24 'And the sons come in, and possess the land, and Thou humblest before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and givest them into their hand, and their kings, and the peoples of the land, to do with them according to their pleasure.

Komo iho la ka poe mamo a lilo ka aina ia lakou, a hoopio iho oe i ka poe kamaaina, i ko Kanaana, imua o lakou, a haawi oe ia lakou iloko o ko lakou lima, i ko lakou mau alii a me na lahuikanaka o ka aina, e hana aku ia lakou e like me ko lakou makemake.

25 And they capture fenced cities, and fat ground, and possess houses full of all good, digged-wells, vineyards, and olive-yards, and fruit-trees in abundance, and they eat, and are satisfied, and become fat, and delight themselves in Thy great goodness.

A lawe pio iho la lakou i na kulanakauhale i paa i ka pa, a me ka aina maikai, a lilo iho la ia lakou na hale i lako i kela mea maikai keia mea maikai, na punawai i eliia, na mala waina, a mo na mala olive a me na laau hua he nui: a ai iho la lakou a maona, a momona hoi, a olioli iho la lakou i kou hoomaikai nui ana.

26 'And they are disobedient, and rebel against Thee, and cast Thy law behind their back, and Thy prophets they have slain, who testified against them, to bring them back unto Thee, and they do great despisings,

Aka, ku e aku la lakou a kipi aku ia oe, a kapae hoi i kou kanawai ma ko lakou kua, luku iho la lakou i kau poe kaula, ka poe i ao pinepine aku ia lakou e hoohuli ia lakou i ou la, a hana iho la lakou i na mea hoonaukiuki loa.

27 and Thou givest them into the hand of their adversaries, and they distress them, and in the time of their distress they cry unto Thee, and Thou, from the heavens, dost hear, and, according to Thine abundant mercies, dost give to them saviours, and they save them out of the hand of their adversaries.

No ia mea, haawi aku la oe ia lakou iloko o ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi, i hoopopilikia ua poe la ia lakou; aka, i ka wa o ko lakou pilikia ana, kahea aku la lakou ia oe, a hoolohe mai no oe mai ka lani mai; a e like me kou lokomaikai he nui no, haawi mai no oe ia lakou i poe hoola, nana lakou i hoopakele ae mailoko mai o ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi.

28 'And when they have rest, they turn back to do evil before Thee, and Thou dost leave them in the hand of their enemies, and they rule over them; and they turn back, and call Thee, and Thou from the heavens dost hear, and dost deliver them, according to Thy mercies, many times,

Aka, i ka wa i malu ai lakou, huli ae la lakou e hana i ka mea mo imua o kou alo; alaila waiho aku la oe ia lakou iloko o ka lima o ko lakou poe enemi, i alii ai ua poe la maluna o lakou: aka, huli ae la lakou a kahea aku la ia oe, a hoolohe no oe mai ka lani mai: a hoopakele pinepine no oe ia lakou e like me kou aloha;

29 and dost testify against them, to bring them back unto Thy law; and they — they have acted proudly, and have not hearkened to Thy commands, and against Thy judgments have sinned, — which man doth and hath lived in them — and they give a refractory shoulder, and their neck have hardened, and have not hearkened.

A ao pinepine aku no hoi oe ia lakou e hoohuli ia lakou ma kou kanawai; aka, hana hookiekie lakou, aole hoi i hoolohe i kau mau kanoha; hana ino no lakou i kau mau olelo kupaa, (na mea e ola'i ke kanaka ke nana ia, ) haawi lakou i ka poohiwi kipi, a hooolea i ko lakou a-i, aole hoi i hoolohe.

30 'And Thou drawest over them many years, and testifiest against them by Thy Spirit, by the hand of Thy prophets, and they have not given ear, and Thou dost give them into the hand of peoples of the lands,

Aka, hoomanawanui no oe ia lakou i na makahiki he nui no, a ao pinepine aku oe ia lakou me kou Uhane iloko o ka poe kaols; aole nae i haliu mai ko lakou pepeiao; nolaila haawi aku la oe ia lakou iloko o ka lima o na lahuikanaka o na aina.

31 and in Thine abundant mercies Thou hast not made them a consumption, nor hast forsaken them; for a God, gracious and merciful, [art] Thou.

Aole nae oe i hoopau loa ia lakou no kou lokomaikai he nui no, aole hoi i haalele oe ia lakou; no ka mea, he Akua lokomaikai no oe a me ke aloha.

32 'And now, O our God — God, the great, the mighty, and the fearful, keeping the covenant and the kindness — let not all the travail that hath found us be little before Thee, for our kings, for our heads, and for our priests, and for our prophets, and for our fathers, and for all Thy people, from the days of the kings of Asshur unto this day;

Ano hoi, e ko makou Akua, ke Akua nui, mana, a hooweliweli, e malama ana i ka berita a me ka lokomaikai, mai mauao mai oe he uuku ka popilikia a pau i hiki mai la maluna o makou nei, maluna o ko makou poe alii, maluna o na luna o makou, a maluna o ko makou poe kahuna, a maluna o na kaula o makou, maluna o ko makou poe makua, a maluna hoi o kou poe kanaka a pau, mai na la mai o na'lii o Asuria a hiki i keia la.

33 and Thou [art] righteous concerning all that hath come upon us, for truth Thou hast done, and we have done wickedly;

Ua hala ole no nae oe ma na mea a pau i hiki mai la maluna o makou; no ka mea, ua hana no oe ma ka pololei, a o makou ka i hana hewa.

34 and our kings, our heads, our priests, and our fathers, have not done Thy law, nor attended unto Thy commands, and to Thy testimonies, that Thou hast testified against them;

A o ko makou poe alii, ko makou poe luna, ko makou poe kahuna, a me ko makou poe makua, aole lakou i malama i kou kanawai, aole hoi i hoolohe i kau mau kauoha a me kau mau oleloao au i ao pinepine mai ai ia lakou.

35 and they, in their kingdom, and in Thine abundant goodness, that Thou hast given to them, and in the land, the large and the fat, that Thou hast set before them, have not served Thee, nor turned back from their evil doings.

No ka mea, aole i hookauwa lakou nau ma ko lakou aupuni, a ma kou lokomaikai nui au i haawi mai ai ia lakou, a ma ka aina nui a momona au i waiho mai ai imua o lakou; aole hoi i huli ae lakou mai ka lakou hana hewa ana'ku.

36 'Lo, we — to-day — [are] servants, and the land that Thou hast given to our fathers, to eat its fruit and its good — lo, we [are] servants on it,

Eia hoi, i keia la, he poe kauwa makou, a o ka aina au i haawi mai ai i ko makou poe kupuna e ai i ka hua ona a me kona maikai, ea, he poe kauwa no makou maluna ona.

37 and its increase it is multiplying to the kings whom Thou hast set over us in our sins; and over our bodies they are ruling, and over our cattle, according to their pleasure, and we [are] in great distress.

A e kau mai ana maluna ona ka hookupu nui ana i na'lii au i hoonoho ai maluna o makou no ko makou hewa; a e alii ana lakou maluna o ko makou mau kino, a me ko makou poe holoholona, e like me ko lakou makemake, a iloko no makou o ka popilikia nui.

38 And for all this we are making a stedfast covenant, and are writing, and over him who is sealed [are] our heads, our Levites, our priests.'

No keia mea a pau ke hoohiki nei makou i mea oiaio, a kakau iho no hoi, a na ko makou poe luna, na Levi, a me na kahuna o makou e kau i ka sila o paa ai.
