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 assembled with fasting, and in sackcloths, and with ashes on their head.
2 Waɗanda suke zuriyar Isra’ilawa suka ware kansu daga dukan baƙi. Suka tsaya, suka kuma furta zunubansu da muguntar kakanninsu.
And the children of Israel separated themselves from every stranger, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities 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 they stood in their place, and read in the book of the law of the Lord their god: and they confessed [their sins] to the Lord, and worshipped 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.
[And] there stood upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jesus, and the sons of Cadmiel, Sechenia the son of Sarabia, sons of Choneni; and they cried with 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.
And the Levites, Jesus and Cadmiel, said, Rise up, bless the Lord our God forever and ever: and let them bless thy glorious name, and exalt it with 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.
And Esdras said, Thou art the only true Lord; thou madest the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, and all their array, the earth, and all things that are in it, the seas, and all things in them; and thou quickenest all things, and the hosts of heaven worship thee.
7 “Kai ne Ubangiji Allah, wanda ya zaɓi Abram, ya fitar da shi daga Ur na Kaldiyawa, ya kuma ba shi suna Ibrahim.
Thou art the Lord God, thou didst choose Abram, and broughtest him out of the land of the Chaldeans, and gavest him the name of Abraam:
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.
and thou foundest his heart faithful before thee, and didst make a covenant with him to give to him and to his seed the land of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Pherezites, and Jebusites, and Gergesites; and thou hast confirmed thy words, for thou [art] righteous.
9 “Ka ga wahalar kakanninmu a Masar; ka kuwa ji kukansu a Jan Teku.
And thou sawest the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and thou heardest their cry at 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 thou shewedst signs and wonders in Egypt, on Pharao and all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knowest that they behaved insolently against them: and thou madest thyself a name, as at this day.
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.
And thou didst cleave the sea before them, and they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land; and thou didst cast into the deep them that were about to pursue them, as a stone in the mighty water.
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 thou guidedst them by day by a pillar of cloud, and by night by a pillar of fire, to enlighten for them the way wherein they should walk.
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.
Also thou camest down upon mount Sina, and thou spakest to them out of heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and laws of truth, ordinances, and good commandments.
14 Ka sanar da su Asabbacinka mai tsarki, ka kuma ba su umarnai, da farillai, da kuma dokoki ta wurin bawanka Musa.
And thou didst make known to them thy holy sabbath; thou didst enjoin upon them commandments, and ordinances, and a law, by the hand of thy servant Moses.
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 thou gavest them bread from heaven for their food, and thou broughtest them forth water from a rock for their thirst; and thou badest them go in to inherit the land over which thou stretchedst out thy hand to give [it] them.
16 “Amma su kakanninmu, suka yi fariya da taurinkai, ba su kuwa yi biyayya ga umarnanka ba.
But they and our fathers behaved proudly, and hardened their neck, and did not hearken to thy commandments,
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 refused to listen, and remembered not thy wonders which thou wroughtest with them; and they hardened their neck, and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt: but thou, O God, [art] merciful and compassionate, long-suffering, and abundant in mercy, and thou didst not forsake them.
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.
And still farther they even made to themselves a molten calf, and said, These [are] the gods that brought us up out of Egypt: and they wrought great provocations.
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.
Yet thou in thy great compassions didst not forsake them in the wilderness: thou didst not turn away from them the pillar of the cloud by day, to guide them in the way, nor the pillar of fire by night, to enlighten for them the way wherein they should walk.
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 thou gavest thy good Spirit to instruct them, and thou didst not withhold thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water in their thirst.
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.
And thou didst sustain them forty years in the wilderness; thou didst not allow anything to fail them: their garments did not wax old, and their feet were not bruised.
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.
Moreover, thou gavest them kingdoms, and didst divide nations to them: and they inherited the land of Seon king of Esebon, and the land of Og king of Basan.
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 thou didst multiply their children as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land of which thou spokest to their fathers;
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.
And they inherited it: and thou didst destroy from before them the dwellers in the land of the Chananites, and thou gavest into their hands them and their kings, and the nations of the land, to do unto them as it pleased them.
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 lofty cities, and inherited houses full of all good things, wells dug, vineyards, and oliveyards, and every fruit tree in abundance: so they ate, and were filled, and grew fat, and rioted in thy great goodness.
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 turned, and revolted from thee, and cast thy law behind their backs; and they slew thy prophets, who testified against them to turn them back to thee, and they wrought great provocations.
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.
Then thou gavest them into the hand of them that afflicted them, and they did afflict them: and they cried to thee in the time of their affliction, and thou didst hear them from thy heaven, and in thy great compassions gavest them deliverers, and didst save them from the hand of them that afflicted them.
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 rested, they did evil again before thee: so thou leftest them in the hands of their enemies, and they ruled over them: and they cried again to thee, and thou heardest [them] from heaven, and didst deliver them in thy great compassions.
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 thou didst testify against them, to bring them back to thy law: but they hearkened not, but sinned against thy commandments and thy judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them; and they turned their back, and hardened their neck, and heard not.
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.
Yet thou didst bear long with them many years, and didst testify to them by thy Spirit by the hand of thy prophets: but they hearkened not; so thou gavest them into the hand of the nations of the land.
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.
But thou in thy many mercies didst not appoint them to destruction, and didst not forsake them; for thou art strong, and merciful, and pitiful.
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, O our God, the powerful, the great, the mighty, and the terrible, keeping thy covenant and thy mercy, let not all the trouble seem little in thy sight which has come upon us, and our kings, and our princes, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and upon all thy people, from the days of the kings of Assur even to 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 thou [art] righteous in all the things that come upon us; for thou hast wrought faithfully, but we have greatly sinned.
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, and our princes, and our priests, and our fathers, have not performed thy law, and have not given heed to thy commandments, and [have not kept] thy testimonies which thou didst testify to 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.
And they did not serve thee in thy kingdom, and in thy great goodness which thou gavest to them, and in the large and fat land which thou didst furnish before them, and they turned not from their evil devices.
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.
Behold, we are servants this day, and [as for] the land which thou gavest to our fathers to eat the fruit of it and the good things of it, behold, we are servants upon 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 its produce [is] abundant for the kings whom thou didst appoint over us because of our sins; and they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, as it pleases them, and we are in great affliction.
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 in regard to all these circumstances we make a covenant, and write [it], and our princes, our Levites, [and] our priests, set their seal to [it].
