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.

Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth 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 seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and 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 stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of YHWH their Elohim one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed, and worshipped YHWH their Elohim.

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 stood up upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and cried with a loud voice unto YHWH their Elohim.

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.

Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless YHWH your Elohim for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above 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.

Thou, even thou, art YHWH alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.

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

Thou art YHWH the Elohim, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of 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 foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give it, I say, to his seed, and hast performed thy words; for thou art righteous:

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

And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by 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 shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharoah, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them. So didst thou get thee a name, as it is 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 thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty 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.

Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go.

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.

Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:

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

And madest known unto them thy holy Sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy 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.

And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them.

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

But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy 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 refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art Eloah, ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.

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.

Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy Elohim that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations;

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.

Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should go.

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.

Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for 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.

Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not.

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.

Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms and nations, and didst divide them into corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og 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.

Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou hadst promised to their fathers, that they should go in to 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.

So the children went in and possessed the land, and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as they would.

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 they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods, wells digged, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy 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.

Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations.

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.

Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of 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 rest, they did evil again before thee: therefore leftest thou them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy 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 testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them; ) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.

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.

Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands.

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

Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful El.

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 Elohim, the great, the mighty, and the awesome El, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.

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

Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly:

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.

Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against 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.

For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works.

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

Behold, we are servants this day, and for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants in 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 it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.

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.”

And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests, seal unto it.
