Nehemias 9

1 Ita, iti maikaduapulo ket uppat nga aldaw iti dayta met la a bulan, naguummong dagiti tattao ti Israel ket nagayunarda, nagisuotda iti nakersang a lupot, ken nangikabilda iti dapu kadagiti uloda.

Then, on the twenty-fourth day of the same month, the sons of Israel came together in fasting and in sackcloth, and with soil upon them.

2 Inlasin dagiti kaputotan ni Israel dagiti bagida manipud kadagiti amin a ganggannaet. Timmakderda sada impudno dagiti basolda ken dagiti dakes nga inar-aramid dagiti kapuonanda.

And the offspring of the sons of Israel were separated from all the sons of foreigners. And they stood up, and they confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers.

3 Nagtakderda iti ayanda ket tallo nga orasda a nagbasa manipud iti Libro ti Linteg ni Yahweh a Diosda. Tallo nga orasda met a nagipudpudno kadagiti basolda ket nagrukrukbabda kenni Yahweh a Diosda.

And they arose to stand. And they read in the volume of the law of the Lord their God, four times in the day, and four times they confessed. And they adored the Lord their God.

4 Dagiti Levita a da Jesua, Bani, Kadmiel, Sebanias, Bunni, Serebias, Bani ken Kenani ket nagtakderda kadagiti agdan sada nagkararag iti napigsa kenni Yahweh a Diosda.

Then, upon the step of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, and Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani rose up. And they cried out in a great voice to the Lord their God.

5 Ket kinuna dagiti Levita a da Jesua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hasabneyas, Serebias, Hodias, Sebanias ken Petahias, “Tumakderkayo ket idaydayawyo ni Yahweh a Diosyo iti agnanayon nga awan inggana.” Idayawda koma ti nadayag a naganmo, ken maitan-ok koma daytoy a nangatngato ngem iti tunggal bendision ken dayaw.

And the Levites, Jeshua and Kadmiel, Bunni, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah said: “Rise up. Bless the Lord your God, from eternity even to eternity! And blessed be the exalted name of your glory, with all blessing and praise.

6 Sika ni Yahweh. Siksika laeng. Inaramidmo ti langit, dagiti kangangatoan a langit agraman ti amin a buyotda, ti daga ken amin a linaonna, dagiti baybay ken amin a linaonda. Sika ti nangted iti biag kadakuada amin, ket agdaydayaw kenka dagiti amin nga armada ti anghel.

You yourself alone, O Lord, made heaven, and the heaven of the heavens, and all their host, the earth and all things that are in it, the seas and all things that are in them. And you gave life to all these things. And the host of heaven adores you.

7 Sika ni Yahweh, ti Dios a nangpili kenni Abram ken nangiruar kenkuana idiay Ur dagiti Caldeo ken nangpanagan kenkuana iti Abraham.

You yourself, O Lord God, are the One who chose Abram. And you led him away from the fire of the Chaldeans, and you gave him the name Abraham.

8 Nasarakam ti pusona a napudno iti sangoanam ket nakitulagka nga itedmo kadagiti kaputotanna ti daga dagiti Cananeo, dagiti Heteo, dagiti Amorreo, dagiti Perezeo, dagiti Jebuseo ken dagiti Gergeseo. Tinungpalmo ti karim gapu ta nalintegka.

And you found his heart to be faithful before you. And you formed a covenant with him, so that you might give to him the land of the Canaanite, of the Hittite, and of the Amorite, and of the Perizzite, and of the Jebusite, and of the Girgashite, so that you might give it to his offspring. And you have fulfilled your words, for you are just.

9 Nakitam ti pannakaparigat dagiti ammami idiay Egipto ket nangngegmo ti asugda idi addada idiay baybay dagiti Runo.

And you saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt. And you heard their outcry beside the Red Sea.

10 Nangtedka kadagiti pagilasinan ken kadagiti datdatlag a maibusor kenni Faraon, kadagiti amin nga adipenna ken kadagiti amin a tattao iti dagana, ta ammom a nagtignay dagiti Egipcio a sipapalangguad kadagiti Israelita. Ngem nangipasdekka iti nagan nga agpaay kenka nga agtaltalinaed agingga iti daytoy nga aldaw.

And you gave signs and portents to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to the people of his land. For you knew that they acted arrogantly against them. And you made a name for yourself, just as it is in this day.

11 Ket ginuduam ti baybay iti sangoananda tapno nakapagdaliasatda iti tengnga ti baybay iti namaga a daga; ken impurruakmo dagiti mangkamkamat kadakuada iti kaaddaleman, a kasla bato a naipurruak iti adalem a danum.

And you divided the sea before them, and they crossed through the midst of the sea on dry land. But their pursuers you cast into the depths, like a stone into great waters.

12 Indalanmo ida babaen iti kasla adigi nga ulep iti aldaw ken kasla adigi nga apuy iti rabii a manglawag iti dalanda tapno makapagdaliasatda babaen iti lawag daytoy.

And in the pillar of cloud, you were their leader by day, and in the pillar of fire, by night, so that they might see the way along which they might advance.

13 Iti rabaw ti Bantay Sinai, bimmabaka manipud langit ket nakisaoka kadakuada ket intedmo kadakuada dagiti nalinteg a paglintegan ken dagiti pudno a linteg, dagiti naimbag nga alagaden ken dagiti bilin.

You also descended to mount Sinai, and you spoke with them from heaven. And you gave them upright judgments, and the law of truth, and ceremonies, and good precepts.

14 Impakaammom kadakuada ti intudingmo a nasantoan nga Aldaw a Panaginana, ken intedmo kadakuada dagiti bilin, alagaden ken linteg babaen kenni Moises nga adipenmo.

You revealed to them your sanctified Sabbath, and you instructed them in commandments, and ceremonies, and the law, by the hand of Moses, your servant.

15 Intedmo kadakuada ti tinapay manipud langit para iti panagbisinda, ken danum manipud iti bato para iti pannakawawda, ket imbagam kadakuada a sumrekda ket tagikuaenda ti daga nga inkarim nga ited kadakuada.

You also gave them bread from heaven in their hunger, and you brought forth water from the rock for them in their thirst. And you said to them that they should enter and possess the land, over which you lifted up your hand so that you might give it to them.

16 Ngem isuda ken dagiti kapuonantayo ket awan panagraemda, nagsukirda ket saanda nga impangag dagiti bilinmo.

Yet truly, they and our fathers acted arrogantly, and they hardened their necks, and they did not listen to your commandments.

17 Saanda a dimngeg ken saanda a pinanpanunot ti maipapan kadagiti datdatlag nga inaramidmo kadakuada, ngem nagsukirda ketdi ket iti panagsukirda, nangdutokda iti mangidaulo kadakuada nga agsubli iti pannakatagabuda. Ngem sika ti Dios a mammakawan, managparabur ken manangngaasi, saan a nalaka nga agpungtot ken saan nga agpatingga ti panagayatmo. Saanmo ida binaybay-an.

And they were not willing to hear, and they did not remember, your miracles which you had accomplished for them. And they hardened their necks, and they offered their head, so that they would return to their servitude, as if in contention. But you, a forgiving God, lenient and merciful, longsuffering and full of compassion, did not abandon them.

18 Saanmo ida a binaybay-an uray idi nangsukogda iti sinan-urbon a baka a landok ket kinunada, 'Daytoy ti diosyo a nangiruar kadakayo iti Egipto,' kabayatan iti nakaro a panagtabtabbaawda.

Indeed, even when they had made for themselves a molten calf, and they had said, ‘This is your God, who led you away from Egypt!’ and had committed great blasphemies,

19 O Dios, iti kinamanangngaasim, saanmo ida a binaybay-an idiay let-ang. Saan ida a pinanawan ti kasla adigi nga ulep a mangidalan kadakuada iti aldaw ken uray pay ti kasla adigi nga apuy iti rabii a nanglawag kadakuada iti dalan a pagnaanda.

even so, in the multitude of your mercies, you did not send them away in the desert. The pillar of cloud did not withdraw from them by day, so that it might lead them on the way, nor the pillar of fire by night, so that it might show them the way along which they might advance.

20 Intedmo kadakuada ti naimbag nga Espiritum a mangisuro kadakuada, saanmo nga impaidam ti manam kadagiti ngiwatda ken inikkam ida ti danum para iti pannakawawda.

And you gave them your good Spirit, so that he might teach them, and you did not withhold your manna from their mouth, and you gave them water in their thirst.

21 Iti uppat a pulo a tawen, impaaymo ti masapulda idiay let-ang, ket saanda a nagkurang iti aniaman. Saan a dimmaan dagiti pagan-anayda ken saan a limteg dagiti saksakada.

For forty years, you fed them in the desert, and nothing was lacking to them; their garments did not grow old, and their feet were not worn down.

22 Inikkam ida kadagiti pagarian ken kadagiti tattao, ket insaadmo ida iti daga iti tunggal adayo a beddeng. Isu a tinagikuada ti daga ni Sihon nga ari ti Hesbon ken ti daga ni Og nga ari ti Basan.

And you gave them kingdoms and peoples, and you distributed to them by lot. And they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og, the king of Bashan.

23 Pinaadum dagiti annakda a kas kaadu dagiti bituen iti langit, ket impanmo ida iti daga. Imbagam kadagiti kapuonanda a sumrekda ket tagikuaenda daytoy.

And you multiplied their sons like the stars of heaven. And you led them into the land, about which you had said to their fathers that they would enter and possess it.

24 Isu a simrek dagiti tattao ket tinagikuada ti daga, linakubmo iti sangoananda dagiti Cananeo nga agnanaed iti dayta a daga. Impaimam dagiti Cananeo kadagiti Israelita, agraman dagiti arida ken dagiti tattao iti dayta a daga, tapno mabalin nga aramiden ti Israel ti kayatda nga aramiden kadakuada.

And the sons arrived and possessed the land. And you humbled the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, before them. And you delivered them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, so that they might do with them just as it was pleasing to them.

25 Sinakupda dagiti nasarikedkedan a siudad ken ti nadam-eg a daga, ket sinakupda dagiti babbalay a napnoan kadagiti amin nga agkakaimbag a banbanag, dagiti bubon a nakalin, dagiti kaubasan, dagiti kaoliboan ken dagiti kayo nga agbunga iti nawadwad. Isu a nanganda, nabsogda, napnekda ken nagrag-oda iti dakkel a kinaimbagmo.

And so they seized fortified cities and fat soil. And they possessed houses filled with all kinds of goods, cisterns made by others, vineyards, and olive groves, and fruit trees in abundance. And they ate and were satisfied. And they were fattened, and they abounded with delights from your great goodness.

26 Kalpasanna, nagsukir ken nagrebeldeda kenka. Impalladawda ti lintegmo kadagiti likudda. Pinapatayda dagiti propetam a nangballaag kadakuada nga agsublida kenka, ken napalalo ti panagtabbaawda.

But they provoked you to wrath, and they withdrew from you, and they cast your law behind their backs. And they killed your prophets, who contended with them so that they might return to you. And they committed great blasphemies.

27 Isu nga impaimam ida kadagiti kabusorda, a nangparigat kadakuada. Ket iti tiempo ti panagsagabada, immasugda kenka ket impangagmo ida manipud langit ken namin-adum ida nga inispal iti ima dagiti kabusorda gapu iti dakkel a kaasim.

And so you gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they afflicted them. And in the time of their tribulation, they cried out to you, and from heaven you heard them. And in accord with your great compassion, you gave to them saviors, who might save them from the hand of their enemies.

28 Ngem kalpasan a maka-inanada, nagaramidda manen iti dakes iti sagoanam ket binaybay-am ida iti ima dagiti kabusorda, isu nga inturayan ida dagiti kabusorda. Ngem idi nagsublida ket immasugda kenka, dinengngegmo ida manipud langit ket adu a daras nga inispalmo ida gapu iti kinamanangngaasim.

But after they had rested, they turned back, so that they did evil in your sight. And you abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, and they possessed them. And they converted, and they cried out to you. And from heaven you heeded them, and you freed them many times, by your mercies.

29 Binallaagam ida tapno agsublida manen iti lintegmo. Ngem nagbalinda a napalangguad ken saanda nga impangag dagiti bilinmo. Nagbasolda kadagiti paglintegam a mangted iti biag iti siasinoman nga agtultulnog kadagitoy. Saanda a nagtulnog kadagitoy ngem ketdi saanda nga impangag dagitoy, ket nagkedkedda uray laeng koma dumngeg kadagitoy.

And you contended with them, so that they might return to your law. Yet truly, they acted in arrogance, and they did not listen to your commandments, and they sinned against your judgments, which, if a man does them, he shall live by them. And they withdrew from offering their shoulder, and they hardened their neck; neither would they listen.

30 Iti adu a tawtawen, inanusam ken binallaagam ida babaen iti Espiritum babaen kadagiti propetam. Ngem saanda latta a dimngeg. Isu nga impaimam ida kadagiti tattao iti aglawlawda.

And you continued to forbear them for many years. And you contended with them by your Spirit, through the hand of your prophets. And they did not listen, and so you delivered them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.

31 Ngem iti naindaklan a kaasim, saanmo ida a ginibus wenno linaksid, ta managparabur ken manangngaasika a Dios.

Yet in your very many mercies, you did not cause them to be consumed, nor did you abandon them. For you are a compassionate and lenient God.

32 Ita ngarud O Diosmi, ti natan-ok, ti mannakabalin, ken ti nakaskasdaaw a Dios, a mangsalsalimetmet iti tulag ken iti awan patinggana nga ayatna, saanmo koma a pagparangen a bassit laeng daytoy a pakarigatan nga immay kadakami, kadagiti arimi, kadagiti pangulomi, kadagiti padimi, kadagiti propetami, kadagiti kapuonanmi ken kadagiti amin a tattaom manipud pay iti tiempo dagiti ari ti Asiria agingga ita.

Now therefore, our great God, strong and terrible, who keeps covenant and mercy, may you not avert your face from all the hardship that has found us, we and our kings, and our leaders, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and all the people, from the days of king Assur, even to this day.

33 Nalintegka iti amin a banbanag nga immay kadakami, ta napudno ket nagtignaykami a sidadangkes.

For you are just, concerning all things that have overwhelmed us. For you have done truth, but we have acted impiously.

34 Saan a sinalimetmetan dagiti arimi, dagiti panguloenmi, dagiti padi, ken dagiti kapuonanmi ti lintegmo, saanda pay nga impangag dagiti bilinmo wenno ti napudno a tulagmo nga isu ti nangballaagam kadakuada.

Our kings, our leaders, our priests, and our fathers have not done your law, and they have not been attentive to your commandments and your testimonies, to which you have testified among them.

35 Uray iti bukodda a pagarian, kabayatan a ragragsakenda ti naindaklan a kinaimbagmo, iti nalawa ken nadam-eg a daga nga intedmo kadakuada, saanda a nagserbi kenka wenno saanda latta a tinallikudan dagiti dakes a wagasda.

And they have not served you, in their kingdoms and with your many good things, which you gave to them, and in the very wide and fat land, which you delivered into their sight, nor did they return from their most wicked pursuits.

36 Ita, tagabukamin iti daga nga intedmo a ragragsaken dagiti kapuonanmi, dagiti bunga ken dagiti naiimbag a sagsagut daytoy, ket adtoy, tagabukami!

Behold, we ourselves this day are servants. And the land, which you gave to our fathers so that they might eat its bread and have its good things, we ourselves are servants within it.

37 Maited ti nawadwad nga apit iti dagami kadagiti ari nga insaadmo kadakami gapu kadagiti basolmi. Iturturayandakami ken dagiti tarakenmi a kas iti pagragsakanda. Napalalo ti pannakaparigatmi.

And its fruits are multiplied for the kings, whom you have set over us because of our sins. And they rule over our bodies, and over our cattle, according to their will. And we are in great tribulation.

38 Gapu amin kadagitoy, mangaramidkami iti natibker a katulagan nga isuratmi. Nakasurat iti naselioan a kasuratan dagiti nagan dagiti prinsipe, dagiti Levita ken dagiti papadimi.”

Therefore, concerning all of these things, we ourselves are forming and writing a covenant, and our leaders, our Levites, and our priests are signing it.”
