Nehemiya 9
1 A rana ta ashirin da huɗu ga watan nan, Isra’ilawa suka taru, suna yin azumi, suna sa rigunan makoki, suna kuma zuba toka a kansu.
Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel came together, taking no food and putting haircloth and dust on their bodies.
2 Waɗanda suke zuriyar Isra’ilawa suka ware kansu daga dukan baƙi. Suka tsaya, suka kuma furta zunubansu da muguntar kakanninsu.
And the seed of Israel made themselves separate from all the men of other nations, publicly requesting forgiveness for their sins and the wrongdoing of their fathers.
3 Sa’ad da suke nan a tsaye, aka ɗauki awa uku ana karanta Littafin Dokar Ubangiji Allahnsu. Aka kuma ɗauki awa uku ana sujada ga Ubangiji Allahnsu.
And for a fourth part of the day, upright in their places, they were reading from the book of the law of their God; and for a fourth part of the day they were requesting forgiveness and worshipping the Lord their God.
4 A kan dakalin kuwa akwai Lawiyawa, wato, Yeshuwa, Bani, Kadmiyel, Shebaniya, Bunni, Sherebiya, Bani da Kenani tsaye, waɗanda suka kira da babbar murya ga Ubangiji Allahnsu.
Then Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani took their places on the steps of the Levites, crying in a loud voice to the Lord their God.
5 Lawiyawan nan, Yeshuwa, Kadmiyel, Bani, Hashabnehiya, Sherebiya, Hodiya, Shebaniya da Fetahahiya, suka ce, “Ku miƙe tsaye ku yabi Ubangiji Allahnku, wanda yake har abada abadin.” “Albarka ta tabbata ga sunanka mai ɗaukaka, bari kuma a ɗaukaka shi bisa dukan albarka da yabo.
Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah said, Get up and give praise to the Lord your God for ever and ever. Praise be to your great name which is lifted up high over all blessing and praise.
6 Kai kaɗai ne Ubangiji. Kai ka yi sammai, har ma da sama sammai, da dukan rundunar taurari, da duniya da kuma dukan abin da yake cikinta, da tekuna da dukan abubuwan da suke cikinsu. Ka ba da rai ga kome, kuma rundunonin sama suna maka sujada.
You are the Lord, even you only; you have made heaven, the heaven of heavens with all their armies, the earth and all things in it, the seas and everything in them; and you keep them from destruction: and the armies of heaven are your worshippers.
7 “Kai ne Ubangiji Allah, wanda ya zaɓi Abram, ya fitar da shi daga Ur na Kaldiyawa, ya kuma ba shi suna Ibrahim.
You are the Lord, the God, who took Abram and made him yours, guiding him from Ur of the Chaldees, and gave him the name of Abraham;
8 Kai ka sami zuciyarsa da aminci a gare ka, ka kuma yi alkawari da shi cewa za ka ba zuriyarsa ƙasar Kan’aniyawa, da ta Hittiyawa, da ta Amoriyawa, da ta Ferizziyawa, da ta Yebusiyawa, da kuma ta Girgashiyawa. Ka kiyaye alkawarinka domin kai mai adalci ne.
You saw that his heart was true to you, and made an agreement with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Jebusite and the Girgashite, even to give it to his seed, and you have done what you said; for righteousness is yours:
9 “Ka ga wahalar kakanninmu a Masar; ka kuwa ji kukansu a Jan Teku.
And you saw the trouble of our fathers in Egypt, and their cry came to your ears by the Red Sea;
10 Ka aika da alamu masu banmamaki da al’ajabai a kan Fir’auna, a kan dukan shugabanninsa da kuma a kan dukan mutanen ƙasarsa, gama ka ga irin danniyar da suka yi wa mutanenka. Ka samo wa kanka suna, wadda ta dawwama har yă zuwa yau.
And you did signs and wonders on Pharaoh and all his servants and all the people of his land; for you saw how cruel they were to them. So you got yourself a name as it is today.
11 Ka raba teku a gaban kakanninmu, saboda su wuce cikinsa a busasshiyar ƙasa, amma ka hallaka masu binsu cikin zurfafa, nutse kamar dutse a cikin ruwa.
By you the sea was parted before them, so that they went through the sea on dry land; and those who went after them went down into the deep, like a stone into great waters.
12 Da rana ka bishe kakanninmu da girgije, da dare kuwa ka bishe su da ginshiƙin wuta don ka ba su haske a hanyar da za su bi.
And you went before them by day in a pillar of cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light on the way they were to go.
13 “Ka sauko a kan Dutsen Sinai; ka yi musu magana daga sama. Ka ba su ƙa’idodi da dokokin da suke masu adalci da kuma daidai, ka ba su farillai da umarnai da suke da kyau.
And you came down on Mount Sinai, and your voice came to them from heaven, giving them right decisions and true laws, good rules and orders:
14 Ka sanar da su Asabbacinka mai tsarki, ka kuma ba su umarnai, da farillai, da kuma dokoki ta wurin bawanka Musa.
And you gave them word of your holy Sabbath, and gave them orders and rules and a law, by the hand of Moses your servant:
15 Cikin yunwansu ka ba su burodi daga sama, cikin ƙishirwansu kuma ka fitar musu ruwa daga dutse. Ka faɗa musu su shiga su mallaki ƙasar da ka rantse ta wurin ɗaga hannu cewa za ka ba su.
And you gave them bread from heaven when they were in need, and made water come out of the rock for their drink, and gave them orders to go in and take for their heritage the land which your hand had been lifted up to give them.
16 “Amma su kakanninmu, suka yi fariya da taurinkai, ba su kuwa yi biyayya ga umarnanka ba.
But they and our fathers, in their pride, made their necks stiff, and gave no attention to your orders,
17 Suka ƙi su saurare ka, suka kāsa tuna da mu’ujizan da ka aikata a cikinsu. Suka yi taurinkai, cikin tawayensu kuma suka naɗa shugaba don su koma bautarsu. Amma kai Allah ne mai gafartawa, mai alheri da jinƙai, mai jinkirin fushi, mai yalwar ƙauna. Saboda haka ba ka yashe su ba,
And would not do them, and gave no thought to the wonders you had done among them; but made their necks stiff, and turning away from you, made a captain over themselves to take them back to their prison in Egypt: but you are a God of forgiveness, full of grace and pity, slow to wrath and great in mercy, and you did not give them up.
18 ko ma sa’ad da suka yi wa kansu siffar ɗan maraƙi, suka ce, ‘Wannan shi ne allahnku, wanda ya fitar da ku daga Masar,’ ko sa’ad da suka yi saɓo mai bantsoro.
Even when they had made for themselves an ox of metal, and said, This is your God who took you up out of Egypt, and had done so much to make you angry;
19 “Saboda jinƙanka mai girma, ba ka yashe su a hamada ba. Da rana, ginshiƙin girgije bai daina bishe su a hanyarsu ba, da dare kuma ginshiƙin wuta bai daina haskakawa a hanyar da za su bi ba.
Even then, in your great mercy, you did not give them up in the waste land: the pillar of cloud still went before them by day, guiding them on their way, and the pillar of fire by night, to give them light, and make clear the way they were to go.
20 Ka ba da Ruhunka mai kyau don yă koyar da su. Ba ka janye Manna naka daga bakunansu ba, ka kuma ba su ruwa don ƙishirwansu.
And you gave your good spirit to be their teacher, and did not keep back your manna from their mouths, and gave them water when they had need of it.
21 Shekaru arba’in ka riƙe su a cikin hamada; ba su rasa kome ba, rigunansu ba su yage ba, ƙafafunsu kuwa ba su kumbura ba.
Truly, for forty years you were their support in the waste land, and they were in need of nothing; their clothing did not get old or their feet become tired.
22 “Ka ba su mulkoki da al’ummai, kana ba su har ma da ƙasashen da suke jeji. Suka ci ƙasar Sihon na sarkin Heshbon da ƙasar Og inda sarkin Bashan yake mulki.
And you gave them kingdoms and peoples, making distribution to them in every part of the land: so they took for their heritage the land of Sihon, even the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og, king of Bashan.
23 Ka sa’ya’yansu maza suka yi yawa kamar taurarin sararin sama, ka kuma kawo su cikin ƙasar da ka faɗa wa kakanninsu su shiga su mallake.
And you made their children as great in number as the stars of heaven, and took them into the land, of which you had said to their fathers that they were to go in and take it for themselves.
24 ’Ya’yansu maza suka shiga suka kuma mallaki ƙasar. A gabansu ka rinjayi Kan’aniyawan da suke zama a cikin ƙasar; ka ba da Kan’aniyawa a gare su, tare da sarakunansu da kuma mutanen ƙasar, su yi da su yadda suke so.
So the children went in and took the land, and you overcame before them the people of the land, the Canaanites, and gave them up into their hands, with their kings and the people of the land, so that they might do with them whatever it was their pleasure to do.
25 Suka kame birane masu katanga masu ƙarfi, da ƙasa masu ba da amfani; suka mallaki gidaje cike da kowane irin abu mai kyau, da rijiyoyin da aka riga aka haƙa, da gonakin inabi, da gonakin itatuwan zaitun da kuma itatuwan ba da’ya’ya a yalwace a ciki. Suka ci suka ƙoshi, suka kuma yi ƙiba; suka ji daɗi cikin alherinka mai girma.
And they took walled towns and a fat land, and became the owners of houses full of all good things, water-holes cut in the rock, vine-gardens and olive-gardens and a wealth of fruit-trees: so they had food enough and became fat, and had joy in the good you gave them.
26 “Amma suka yi rashin biyayya suka kuma yi tawaye gare ka; suka sa dokarka a bayansu. Suka kashe annabawanka waɗanda suka gargaɗe su don su mai da su gare ka; suka aikata saɓo mai bantsoro.
But they were hard-hearted, and went against your authority, turning their backs on your law, and putting to death your prophets, who gave witness against them with the purpose of turning them back again to you, and they did much to make you angry.
27 Saboda haka ka miƙa su ga abokan gābansu waɗanda suka yi musu danniya. Amma sa’ad da ake danniyarsu sai suka yi kuka gare ka. Daga sama ka ji su, cikin jinƙanka mai girma kuwa ka ba su mai ceto, wanda ya fisshe su daga hannun abokan gābansu.
And so you gave them up into the hands of their haters who were cruel to them: and in the time of their trouble, when they made their prayer to you, you gave ear to them from heaven; and in your great mercy gave them saviours, who made them free from the hands of their haters.
28 “Amma nan da nan, da suka sami hutu, sai suka sāke aikata abin da yake mugu a idonka. Sai ka yashe su ga hannun abokan gābansu don su yi mulki a kansu. Sa’ad da suka yi kuka kuma gare ka, ka ji daga sama, cikin jinƙanka kuma ka fisshe su sau da sau.
But when they had rest, they did evil again before you: so you gave them into the hands of their haters, who had rule over them: but when they came back and made their prayer to you, you gave ear to them from heaven; again and again, in your mercy, you gave them salvation;
29 “Ka gargaɗe su su dawo ga dokarka, amma suka yi fariya, suka bijire wa umarnanka. Suka yi zunubi game da farillanka waɗanda ta wurinsu ne mutum zai rayu in ya yi biyayya da su. Cikin taurinkai suka juye bayansu daga gare ka, suka zama masu taurinkai, suka kuma ƙi su saurara.
And gave witness against them so that you might make them come back again to your law: but their hearts were lifted up, and they gave no attention to your orders and went against your decisions (which, if a man keeps them, will be life to him), and turning their backs on you, made their necks stiff and did not give ear.
30 Shekaru masu yawa ka yi haƙuri da su. Ta wurin Ruhunka ka gargaɗe su ta wurin annabawa. Duk da haka ba su kasa kunne ba, saboda haka ka miƙa su ga maƙwabtansu.
Year after year you put up with them, and gave witness against them by your spirit through your prophets: still they did not give ear: and so you gave them up into the hands of the peoples of the lands.
31 Amma cikin tausayinka mai girma ba ka kawo su ga ƙarshe ko ka yashe su ba, gama kai Allah ne mai alheri da kuma mai jinƙai.
Even then, in your great mercy, you did not put an end to them completely, or give them up; for you are a God of grace and mercy.
32 “To yanzu, ya Allahnmu, mai girma, mai iko, da kuma mai banrazana, wanda yake kiyaye alkawarinsa na ƙauna, kada ka bar dukan wannan wahala ta zama kamar marar muhimmanci a idanunka, wahalar da ta zo a kanmu, a kan sarakunanmu da shugabanni, a kan firistocinmu da annabawa, a kan kakanninmu da kuma dukan mutanenka, daga kwanakin sarakunan Assuriya har yă zuwa yau.
And now, our God, the great, the strong, the God who is to be feared, who keeps faith and mercy, let not all this trouble seem small to you, which has come on us, and on our kings and our rulers and on our priests and our prophets and our fathers and on all your people from the time of the kings of Assyria till this day.
33 Cikin dukan abubuwan da suka faru da mu, ka kasance mai adalci; ka yi aminci, yayinda mu kuwa muka aikata mugu.
But still, you have been in the right in everything which has come on us; you have been true to us, but we have done evil:
34 Sarakunanmu, da shugabanninmu, da firistocinmu da kuma kakanninmu ba su bi dokarka ba, ba su ma mai da hankali ga umarnanka ko gargaɗin da ka yi musu ba.
And our kings, our rulers, our priests, and our fathers have not kept your law or given attention to your orders and your witness, with which you gave witness against them.
35 Ko ma yayinda suke a masarautarsu, suna jin daɗin girmar kyautatawarka gare su, cikin ƙasar mai girma, da kuma mai fāɗin da ka ba su, ba su bauta maka ko su juye daga mugayen hanyoyinsu ba.
For they have not been your servants in their kingdom, and in all the good things you gave them, and in the great and fat land you gave them, and they have not been turned away from their evil-doing.
36 “Amma duba, mu bayi ne a yau, bayi a ƙasar da ka ba kakanninmu don su ci amfaninta da kuma waɗansu abubuwa masu kyau da take bayarwa.
Now, today, we are servants, and as for the land which you gave to our fathers, so that the produce of it and the good might be theirs, see, we are servants in it:
37 Saboda zunubanmu, yalwar girbin da muke samu yana tafiya wurin sarakunan da ka sa a kanmu. Suna mulki bisa jikunanmu, da bisa garkenmu yadda suka ga dama. Muna cikin baƙin ciki.
And it gives much increase to the kings whom you have put over us because of our sins: and they have power over our bodies and over our cattle at their pleasure, and we are in great trouble.
38 “Saboda wannan duka, muna yin zaunannen alkawari, muna sa shi a rubuce, shugabanninmu kuwa da Lawiyawanmu, da firistocinmu suna buga hatimansu a kai.”
And because of all this we are making an agreement in good faith, and putting it in writing; and our rulers, our Levites, and our priests are putting their names to it.
