Nehemia 9

1 Pada hari yang kedua puluh empat bulan itu berkumpullah orang Israel dan berpuasa dengan mengenakan kain kabung dan dengan tanah di kepala.

And on day twenty and four of the month this they gathered [the] people of Israel with fasting and in sackcloth and earth [was] on them.

2 Keturunan orang Israel memisahkan diri dari semua orang asing, lalu berdiri di tempatnya dan mengaku dosa mereka dan kesalahan nenek moyang mereka.

And they separated themselves [the] offspring of Israel from all sons of foreignness and they stood and they confessed on sins their and [the] iniquities of ancestors their.

3 Sementara mereka berdiri di tempat, dibacakanlah bagian-bagian dari pada kitab Taurat TUHAN, Allah mereka, selama seperempat hari, sedang seperempat hari lagi mereka mengucapkan pengakuan dan sujud menyembah kepada TUHAN, Allah mereka.

And they stood at place their and they read aloud in [the] scroll of [the] law of Yahweh God their [the] fourth of the day and a fourth [they were] confessing and [they were] bowing down to Yahweh God their.

4 Di atas tangga tempat orang-orang Lewi berdirilah Yesua, Bani, Kadmiel, Sebanya, Buni, Serebya, Bani dan Kenani. Dengan suara yang nyaring mereka berseru kepada TUHAN, Allah mereka.

And he stood on [the] platform of the Levites Jeshua and Bani Kadmiel Shebaniah Bunni Sherebiah Bani Kenani and they cried out with a voice great to Yahweh God their.

5 Dan berkatalah Yesua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hasabneya, Serebya, Hodia, Sebanya dan Petahya, orang-orang Lewi itu: "Bangunlah, pujilah TUHAN Allahmu dari selama-lamanya sampai selama-lamanya! Terpujilah nama-Mu yang mulia, yang ditinggikan mengatasi segala puji dan hormat!"

And they said the Levites Jeshua and Kadmiel Bani Hashabneiah Sherebiah Hodiah Shebaniah Pethahiah arise bless Yahweh God your from antiquity until perpetuity and may people bless [the] name of glory your and [may it] be exalted above all blessing and praise.

6 "Hanya Engkau adalah TUHAN! Engkau telah menjadikan langit, ya langit segala langit dengan segala bala tentaranya, dan bumi dengan segala yang ada di atasnya, dan laut dengan segala yang ada di dalamnya. Engkau memberi hidup kepada semuanya itu dan bala tentara langit sujud menyembah kepada-Mu.

You he [are] Yahweh to alone you (you *Q(K)*) you made the heavens [the] heavens of the heavens and all host their the earth and all that [is] on it the seas and all that [is] in them and you [are] preserving alive all of them and [the] host of the heavens to you [are] bowing down.

7 Engkaulah TUHAN, Allah yang telah memilih Abram dan membawanya keluar dari Ur-Kasdim dan memberikan kepadanya nama Abraham.

You he [are] Yahweh God who you chose Abram and you brought out him from Ur of [the] Chaldeans and you made name his Abraham.

8 Engkau dapati bahwa hatinya setia terhadap-Mu dan Engkau mengikat perjanjian dengan dia untuk memberikan tanah orang Kanaan, tanah orang Het, tanah orang Amori, tanah orang Feris, tanah orang Yebus dan tanah orang Girgasi kepada keturunannya. Dan Engkau telah menepati janji-Mu, karena Engkau benar.

And you found heart his faithful before you and you made with him the covenant to give [the] land of the Canaanite[s] the Hittite[s] the Amorite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Jebusite[s] and the Girgashite[s] to give to offspring his and you fulfilled words your for [are] righteous you.

9 Engkau melihat sengsara nenek moyang kami di Mesir dan mendengar teriakan mereka di tepi Laut Teberau.

And you saw [the] affliction of ancestors our in Egypt and outcry their you heard at [the] sea of reed[s].

10 Engkau telah memperlihatkan tanda-tanda dan mujizat-mujizat di depan Firaun dan semua pegawainya serta seluruh rakyat negerinya, karena Engkau mengetahui mereka bertindak angkuh terhadap nenek moyang kami. Dengan demikian Engkau telah memasyhurkan nama-Mu sebagaimana nyata hari ini.

And you gave signs and wonders on Pharaoh and on all servants his and on all [the] people of land his for you knew that they had acted presumptuously on them and you made for yourself a name as the day this.

11 Di hadapan mereka Engkau membelah laut, sehingga mereka dapat menyeberang melalui tempat yang kering di tengah-tengah laut. Tetapi pengejar-pengejar mereka telah Kaucampakkan ke air yang dalam, seperti batu ke air yang dahsyat.

And the sea you split open before them and they passed in [the] middle of the sea on the dry ground and pursuers their you threw in [the] depths like a stone in waters mighty.

12 Dengan tiang awan Engkau memimpin mereka pada siang hari dan dengan tiang api pada malam hari untuk menerangi jalan yang mereka lalui.

And in a pillar of cloud you led them by day and in a pillar of fire night to light up for them the way which they walked in it.

13 Engkau telah turun ke atas gunung Sinai dan berbicara dengan mereka dari langit dan memberikan mereka peraturan-peraturan yang adil, hukum-hukum yang benar serta ketetapan-ketetapan dan perintah-perintah yang baik.

And on [the] mountain of Sinai you came down and you spoke with them from heaven and you gave to them judgments upright and laws of faithfulness statutes and commandments good.

14 Juga Kauberitahukan kepada mereka sabat-Mu yang kudus dan memberikan kepada mereka perintah-perintah, ketetapan-ketetapan dan hukum-Mu dengan perantaraan Musa, hamba-Mu.

And [the] sabbath of holiness your you made known to them and commandments and statutes and [the] law you commanded to them by [the] hand of Moses servant your.

15 Telah Kauberikan kepada mereka roti dari langit untuk menghilangkan lapar dan air Kaukeluarkan bagi mereka dari gunung batu untuk melepaskan dahaga. Pula Engkau menyuruh mereka memasuki dan menduduki negeri yang dengan mengangkat sumpah telah Kaujanjikan memberikannya kepada mereka.

And bread from heaven you gave to them for hunger their and water from a rock you brought forth for them for thirst their and you said to them to go to take possession of the land which you had lifted hand your to give to them.

16 Tetapi mereka, nenek moyang kami itu, bertindak angkuh dan bersitegang leher dan tidak patuh kepada perintah-perintah-Mu.

And they and ancestors our they acted presumptuously and they stiffened neck their and not they listened to commandments your.

17 Mereka menolak untuk patuh dan tidak mengingat perbuatan-perbuatan yang ajaib yang telah Kaubuat di antara mereka. Mereka bersitegang leher malah berkeras kepala untuk kembali ke perbudakan di Mesir. Tetapi Engkaulah Allah yang sudi mengampuni, yang pengasih dan penyayang, yang panjang sabar dan berlimpah kasih setia-Nya. Engkau tidak meninggalkan mereka.

And they refused to listen and not they remembered wonders your which you had done with them and they stiffened neck their and they appointed a leader to return to servitude their in rebellion their and you [are] a God forgiveness gracious and compassionate long of anger and great (of covenant loyalty *Q(K)*) and not you abandoned them.

18 Bahkan, ketika mereka membuat anak lembu tuangan dan berkata: 'Inilah Allahmu yang menuntun engkau keluar dari Mesir!', dan berbuat nista yang besar,

Even for they had made for themselves a calf of molten metal and they had said this [is] god your who he brought up you from Egypt and they had done blasphemies great.

19 Engkau tidak meninggalkan mereka di padang gurun karena kasih sayang-Mu yang besar. Tiang awan tidak berpindah dari atas mereka pada siang hari untuk memimpin mereka pada perjalanan, begitu juga tiang api pada malam hari untuk menerangi jalan yang mereka lalui.

And you in compassion your great not you abandoned them in the wilderness [the] pillar of cloud not it departed from over them in daytime their to lead them in the way and [the] pillar of fire at night to light up for them and the way which they walked in it.

20 Dan Engkau memberikan kepada mereka Roh-Mu yang baik untuk mengajar mereka. Juga manna-Mu tidak Kautahan dari mulut mereka dan Engkau memberikan air kepada mereka untuk melepaskan dahaga.

And spirit your good you gave to instruct them and manna your not you withheld from mouth their and water you gave to them for thirst their.

21 Empat puluh tahun lamanya Engkau memberikan mereka makan di padang gurun. Mereka tidak berkekurangan, pakaian mereka tidak rusak, dan kaki mereka tidak bengkak.

And forty year[s] you sustained them in the wilderness not they were lacking clothes their not they wore out and feet their not they became swollen.

22 Engkau menyerahkan kepada mereka kerajaan-kerajaan dan bangsa-bangsa dan membagikan itu kepada mereka sebagai daerah perbatasan, sebab mereka duduki tanah dari Sihon, raja negeri Hesbon dan tanah dari Og, raja negeri Basan.

And you gave to them kingdoms and peoples and you apportioned them to a corner and they took possession of [the] land of Sihon and [the] land of [the] king of Heshbon and [the] land of Og [the] king of Bashan.

23 Engkau membuat anak-anak mereka menjadi banyak seperti bintang-bintang di langit dan membawa mereka ke tanah yang Kausuruh kepada nenek moyang mereka untuk dimasuki dan diduduki.

And children their you increased like [the] stars of the heavens and you brought them into the land which you had said to ancestors their to go to take possession of.

24 Lalu anak-anak itu memasuki dan menduduki tanah itu dan Engkau menundukkan di hadapan mereka penduduk tanah itu, yakni orang-orang Kanaan, dan menyerahkan orang-orang itu, baik raja-raja mereka, maupun bangsa-bangsa tanah itu, ke tangan mereka, supaya orang-orang itu diperlakukan sekehendak hati mereka.

And they went the children and they took possession of the land and you subdued before them [the] inhabitants of the land the Canaanites and you gave them in hand their and kings their and [the] peoples of the land to do with them according to will their.

25 Mereka merebut kota-kota yang berkubu dan tanah yang subur. Mereka merampas rumah-rumah yang penuh berisi berbagai-bagai barang baik, tempat-tempat air pahatan, kebun-kebun anggur dan kebun-kebun zaitun dan pohon-pohon buah-buahan dalam jumlah yang sangat banyak. Mereka makan dan menjadi kenyang dan gemuk. Mereka hidup mewah karena kebaikan-Mu yang besar.

And they captured cities fortified and ground fertile and they took possession of houses full every good thing wells dug out vineyards and olive trees and tree[s] of food to abundance and they ate and they were satisfied and they grew fat and they luxuriated in goodness your great.

26 Tetapi mereka mendurhaka dan memberontak terhadap-Mu. Mereka membelakangi hukum-Mu dan membunuh nabi-nabi-Mu yang memperingatkan mereka dengan maksud membuat mereka berbalik kepada-Mu. Mereka berbuat nista yang besar.

And they were disobedient and they rebelled against you and they threw law your behind back their and prophets your they killed who they had warned them to bring back them to you and they did blasphemies great.

27 Lalu Engkau menyerahkan mereka ke tangan lawan-lawan mereka, yang menyesakkan mereka. Dan pada waktu kesusahan mereka berteriak kepada-Mu, lalu Engkau mendengar dari langit dan karena kasih sayang-Mu yang besar Kauberikan kepada mereka orang-orang yang menyelamatkan mereka dari tangan lawan mereka.

And you gave them in [the] hand of opponents their and they caused distress to them and in [the] time of distress their they cried out to you and you from heaven you heard and according to compassion your great you gave to them deliverers and they delivered them from [the] hand of opponents their.

28 Tetapi begitu mereka mendapat keamanan, kembali mereka berbuat jahat di hadapan-Mu. Dan Engkau menyerahkan mereka ke tangan musuh-musuh mereka yang menguasai mereka. Kembali mereka berteriak kepada-Mu, dan Engkau mendengar dari langit, lalu menolong mereka berulang kali, karena kasih sayang-Mu.

And just as was rest to them they returned to do evil before you and you abandoned them in [the] hand of enemies their and they ruled over them and they returned and they cried out to you and you from heaven you heard and you rescued them according to compassion your many times.

29 Engkau memperingatkan mereka dengan maksud membuat mereka berbalik kepada hukum-Mu. Tetapi mereka bertindak angkuh, mereka tidak patuh kepada perintah-perintah-Mu dan mereka berdosa terhadap peraturan-peraturan-Mu, yang justru memberi hidup kepada orang yang melakukannya. Mereka melintangkan bahu untuk melawan, mereka bersitegang leher dan tidak mau dengar.

And you warned them to bring back them to law your and they they acted presumptuously and not they listened to commandments your and in judgments your they sinned in them which he will do anyone and he will live by them and they gave a shoulder stubborn and neck their they stiffened and not they listened.

30 Namun bertahun-tahun lamanya Engkau melanjutkan sabar-Mu terhadap mereka. Dengan Roh-Mu Engkau memperingatkan mereka, yakni dengan perantaraan para nabi-Mu, tetapi mereka tidak menghiraukannya, sehingga Engkau menyerahkan mereka ke tangan bangsa-bangsa segala negeri.

And you prolonged towards them years many and you warned them by spirit your by [the] hand of prophets your and not they gave ear and you gave them in [the] hand of [the] peoples of the lands.

31 Tetapi karena kasih sayang-Mu yang besar Engkau tidak membinasakan mereka sama sekali dan tidak meninggalkan mereka, karena Engkaulah Allah yang pengasih dan penyayang.

And in compassion your great not you made them complete destruction and not you abandoned them for [are] a God gracious and compassionate you.

32 Sekarang, ya Allah kami, Allah yang maha besar, kuat dan dahsyat, yang berpegang pada perjanjian dan kasih setia-Nya, janganlah Kaupandang remeh segala kesusahan yang telah dialami oleh kami, oleh raja-raja kami, pemimpin-pemimpin kami, imam-imam kami, nabi-nabi kami dan nenek moyang kami, ya oleh seluruh umat-Mu, sejak zaman raja-raja Asyur sampai hari ini.

And therefore O God our God great mighty and awesome [the] keeper of the covenant and covenant loyalty may not it be small before you all the hardship which it has come upon us to kings our to leaders our and to priests our and to prophets our and to ancestors our and to all people your since [the] days of [the] kings of Assyria until the day this.

33 Tetapi Engkaulah yang benar dalam segala hal yang menimpa kami, karena Engkau berlaku setia dan kamilah berbuat fasik.

And you [are] righteous on every [thing which] has come on us for faithfulness you have acted and we we have acted wickedly.

34 Juga raja-raja kami, pemimpin-pemimpin kami, imam-imam kami, dan nenek moyang kami tidak melakukan hukum-Mu. Mereka tidak memperhatikan perintah-perintah-Mu dan peringatan-peringatan-Mu yang Kauberikan kepada mereka.

And kings our leaders our priests our and ancestors our not they did law your and not they paid attention to commandments your and to testimonies your which you admonished them.

35 Dalam kedudukan sebagai raja mereka tidak mau beribadah kepada-Mu, walaupun Engkau telah mengaruniakan kepada mereka banyak kebaikan dan telah menyediakan bagi mereka tanah yang luas dan subur. Mereka tidak berbalik dari perbuatan-perbuatan mereka yang jahat.

And they in own kingdom their and in goodness your great which you had given to them and in [the] land broad and fertile which you had set before them not they served you and not they turned back from deeds their evil.

36 Lihatlah, sekarang ini kami adalah budak. Ya, di tanah yang Kauberikan kepada nenek moyang kami untuk mengecap hasilnya dan segala kekayaannya kami ini adalah budak.

Here! we this day [are] slaves and the land which you gave to ancestors our to eat fruit its and good thing[s] its here! we [are] slaves on it.

37 Tanah itu menghasilkan banyak bagi raja-raja yang telah Kautetapkan atas kami karena dosa-dosa kami. Mereka itu memerintah sekehendak hati atas diri kami dan ternak kami, sehingga kami dalam kesesakan besar."

And produce its [is] increasing for the kings whom you have appointed over us in sins our and over bodies our [they are] ruling and over cattle our according to will their and [are] in distress great we.

38 Berdasarkan semuanya ini kami mengikat perjanjian yang teguh yang kami catat dengan dibubuhi meterai para pemimpin kami, orang-orang Lewi kami dan para imam kami.

And in all this we [are] making a trustworthy arrangement and writing and [are] on the sealed [document] leaders our Levites our priests our.
