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;

Ke len se aklongoul akosr in malem sacna, mwet Israel elos toeni in lalo. Elos nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa ac filiya fohkfok fin sifalos, mwe akkalemye asor lalos ke ma koluk lalos.

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,

Na elos su ma in fwil nutin Israel na pwaye, elos srelosla liki mwetsac nukewa, ac elos tuyak ac fahkak ma koluk lalos ac ma koluk lun mwet matu lalos meet ah.

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.

Ke elos tu na, Book in Ma Sap lun LEUM GOD lalos ritiyuk nu selos ke lusen ao tolu, ac ke ao tolu tokoyang elos fahkak ma koluk lalos ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD lalos.

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.

Oasr acn se loangyak nu sin mwet Levi, na mwet inge elos tuyak fac: Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani ac Chenani. Elos pre ke pusra lulap nu sin LEUM GOD lalos.

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.

Mwet Levi inge: Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, ac Pethahiah, elos ikasla pacl in alu ac fahk, “Tuyak ac kaksakin LEUM GOD lowos; Kaksakunul nwe tok ma pahtpat! Lela mwet nukewa in kaksakin Inel wolana Finne kaksak lasr tia ku in sun lupan kaksak fal nu sel.”

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.

Na mwet Israel elos pre ac fahk: “O kom, LEUM GOD kom mukefanna LEUM GOD. Kom orala kusrao ac itu nukewa inkusrao. Kom orala finmes ac ma nukewa fac, oayapa meoa ac ma nukewa loac. Kom asang moul nu sin ma nukewa. Ku nukewa ma oan inkusrao pasrla ac alu nu sum.

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,

Kom, LEUM GOD, sulella Abram Ac pwanulla liki acn Ur in Babylonia. Kom ekulla inel nu ke Abraham.

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,

Kom konauk lah el inse pwaye nu sum, Ac kom orala sie wulela inmasrlom el. Kom wulela tuh kom fah sang facl lun mwet Canaan, Ac facl lun mwet Hit ac mwet Amor, Facl lun mwet Periz, mwet Jebus, ac mwet Girgas, Nu sel, tuh fwil natul in muta we. Kom oru oana wuleang lom, mweyen kom suwohs.

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

“Kom liye lupan keok lun mwet matu lasr in acn Egypt. Kom lohng ke elos pang nu sum sisken Meoa Srusra.

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.

Kom orala mwenmen usrnguk lain tokosra, Lain mwet fulat lal ac mwet in facl sel, Mweyen kom etu lupan akkeokyeyen mwet lom. Pwengpeng lom in pacl sac srakna oan nwe misenge.

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.

Kom sralik inkof uh ye mutalos Ac pwanulos sasla fin acn pao. Mwet su ukwalos elos walomla in kof loal Oana sie eot tilla in meoa pulkulak.

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.

Kom pwanulos ke sie pukunyeng ke len, Ac ke fong kom tolak inkanek lalos ke e.

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.

Kom tufoki liki inkusrao nu fineol Sinai. Kom sramsram nu sin mwet lom Ac sang nu selos ma sap wowo ac mwe luti suwohs.

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;

Kom luti nu selos in liyaung len Sabbath mutal lom, Ac kom sang ma sap lom ac oakwuk lom nu selos sel Moses, mwet kulansap lom.

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.

“Ke elos masrinsral, kom kitalos bread inkusrao me. Ke elos malu, kom aksororye kof nimalos ke eot uh me. Ac kom fahk tuh elos in eis selos facl se su kom Wuleang tuh kom fah sang nu selos.

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

Tusruktu mwet matu lasr meet ah elos inse fulatak ac likkeke Ac tia lungse akos ma sap lom.

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.

Elos tiana akos. Elos mulkunla Orekma usrnguk nukewa kom tuh oru. Ke sripen inse fulat lalos elos sulela sie mwet kol In folokunulosla nu ke moul in mwet kohs in acn Egypt. Tuh kom sie God su nunak munas. Kom kulang ac pakoten, ac tia sa in kasrkusrak. Yoklana lungkulang lom, ac kom tiana siselosla.

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,

Elos orala sie ma sruloala in luman soko cow mukul fusr, Ac fahk mu el pa god se su kololos me liki Egypt! Ke elos oru ouinge elos arulana akkasrkusrakye kom, LEUM GOD!

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.

Tuh kom tiana siselosla ingo in acn mwesis, Tuh pakoten lom yoklana. Kom tiana eisla pukunyeng ac e, Su akkalemye inkanek lalos ke len ac ke fong.

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,

Ke ngun wo lom, kom fahkang nu selos ma elos in oru. Kom kitalos manna, ac sang kof nimalos.

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.

Ke yac angngaul lalos in acn mwesis Kom sang enenu lalos nukewa: Nuknuk lalos tiana kulawi, Ac nialos tiana fafwak.

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.

“Kom sang kutangla nu selos fin mutunfacl ac tokosrai puspis, Ke acn su oan siskalos. Elos eisla acn Heshbon, yen Sihon el leum we, Ac acn Bashan, yen Og el tokosra we.

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.

Kom sang tulik puspis natulos, oana itu inkusrao, Ac oru tuh elos in eisla ac muta fin acn Su kom tuh wuleang nu sin mwet matu lalos mu kom ac sang nu selos.

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.

Elos eisla acn Canaan. Kom kutangla fin mwet su muta we. Kom sang ku nu sin mwet lom in oru kutena ma elos lungse oru Nu sin mwet Canaan ac tokosra nukewa lalos.

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.

Mwet lom elos sruokya siti kuhlusyukyak ke pot ku, Oayapa acn wo fohk we, ac lohm we sessesla ke mwe kasrup, Ac lufin kof pukpukyak tari, Sak olive, sak oswe fokinsak, ac ima in grape. Elos mongo nwe ke na elos kihpi ac fatelik. Elos engankin ma wo nukewa kom sang nu selos.

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,

“A mwet lom elos seakos ac lain kom. Elos ngetla liki Ma Sap lom. Elos uniya mwet palu su fahkak kas in sensenkakinulos, Su fahk nu selos in foloko nu yurum. Pacl puspis elos fahk kas in akkolukye kom,

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.

Pwanang kom fuhlela tuh mwet lokoalok lalos in kutangulosla ac leum faclos. Ke pacl upa nu selos, elos pang nu sum tuh kom in kasrelos, Ac kom topkolos inkusrao me. Ke pakoten lulap lom kom supwama mwet kol nu yorolos, Su molelosla liki mwet lokoalok lalos.

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,

Ke sifil oasr misla inmasrlolos, elos sifilpa oru ma koluk, Ac kom sifilpa fuhlelosyang nu inpoun mwet lokoalok lalos. Sruk ke pacl elos auliyak ac siyuk kom in molelosla, Kom lohng inkusrao me, ac pacl nu ke pacl Kom molelosla ke pakoten lulap lom.

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.

Kom sensenkakinulos tuh elos in akos mwe luti lom, A ke nunak fulat lalos, elos likinsai ma sap lom, Sruk karinganang Ma Sap lom pa inkanek in moul. Ke keke in nunak ac likkeke lalos, elos tiana akos.

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,

Yac nu ke yac, kom mongfisrasr in akesmakinyalos. Kom pirik mwet palu lom in kaskas nu selos, A mwet lom elos tiana lohng, Ouinge kom eisalosyang nu inpoun mutunfacl saya.

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.

Ne ouinge, ke sripen yokna pakoten lom Kom tiana siselosla ku kunauselosla. Kom sie God kulang ac pakoten!

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;

“O God, kom God lasr, su arulana fulat Ac mangol, ac yoklana ku lom! Kom akpwayeye wuleang ac lungkulang lom. Oe in pacl se tokosra lun acn Assyria elos akkeokye kut Nwe misenge, arulana yohk keok lasr! Tokosra lasr, mwet kol lasr, mwet palu ac mwet tol lasr, Mwet matu lasr meet ah, ac mwet lasr nukewa wi sun keok. Esam na keok lulap lasr!

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

Fal na lah kom kalyei kut. Kom suwosna, kut ne oru ma koluk.

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;

Mwet matu lasr meet, oayapa tokosra lasr, mwet kol ac mwet tol lasr Elos tiana liyaung Ma Sap lom. Elos tiana porongo ma kom sapkin ac kas in sensenkakin lom.

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.

Kom tuh akinsewowoye tokosra su leum fin mwet lom Ke elos muta ke sie acn yohk ac wo fohk we, ma kom sang nu selos; Tusruktu elos tiana forla liki orekma koluk lalos in kulansupwekom.

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,

Na inge kut mwet kohs in facl se kom tuh ase nu sesr, Aok, in acn wowo se inge su kite kut mwe mongo.

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.

Kutena ma kosrani ke acn uh, ma na nu sin tokosra uh, Su kom oakiya facsr ke sripen kut orekma koluk. Elos oru oana lungse lalos nu sesr ac nu sin kosro natusr, Ac kut muta in ongoiya lulap!”

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.'

Ke sripen ma sikyak inge nukewa, kut mwet Israel insese in simusla sie wuleang ku, na mwet kol lasr ac mwet Levi ac mwet tol lasr elos filiya sil lalos kac.
