Nehemaia 9

1 Ana ikamo'ma 24ma hiankna zupa Israeli veamo'za ne'zana a'o nehu'za, hapa frete'za eri tru hu'naze.

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 Hagi ana Israeli vahe'mo'zama megi'a vahe'enema rutrago'ma ate'nazana, ana vahera zamatre'za e'naze. Ana nehu'za oti'za kumi'zamigura zamasunku nehu'za, korapa zamagehe'zama hu'naza havi zamavu zamava zanku'enena zamasunku hu'naze.

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 Hagi 3'a auamofo agu'afi oti'ne'za Ra Anumzana zamagri Anumzamofo kasege avontafepinti'ma hampri zamiza nanekea antahi'naze. Ana hute'za ete 3'a auamofo agu'afina kumi'zami huama nehu'za, Ra Anumzamofona monora hunte'naze.

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 Hanki Livae naga'mo'zama manisga hu'nezama nenekema nehaza tratera, Jesua'ma Bani'ma Katmieli'ma Sebania'ma Buni'ene Kenani'ma hu'za ana tratera mani'ne'za ranke hu'za Ra Anumzana zamagra'a Anumzamofontega nunamuna hu'naze.

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 Anante Livae nagara Jesua'ma Kadmieli'ma Bani'ma, Hasabneia'ma, Serebia'ma, Hodia'ma, Sebania'ene Petahiaki hu'za amanage hu'za vea kevua zamasami'naze, otita Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzama mani vava Anumzamofo agi'a hentesga hiho. Hagi Ra Anumzamoka so'e Kagika'a ahentesga hune, tagrama keagafinti'ma huta e'inahu Anumza mani'nanema huta hu'zamo'a amuho hie.

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 Kagrake Ra Anumzana mani'nane, Kagra monaramina tro nehunka, anazanke hunka onaga'ama me'nea monaramina tro nehunka, hanafi taminena tro hu'nane. Ama mopa tro nehunka, mopa agofetu'ma me'nea zantaminena tro hu'nane. Hage rintamina tro nehunka, hageri agu'afima me'nea zantaminena tro nehunka, maka zamofona zamasimura nezamine. Ana hu'nanke'za hampriga osu ankerontamima monafinkama mani'naza ankeromo'za zamare'nare'za Kagia ahentesga nehaze.

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 Kagrake Ra Anumzana mani'nenka, Babiloni mopafi me'nea kuma Kaldia kaziga Uri mopareti Abramuna huhamprinka avre tiraminka ne-enka, Abrahamu'e hunka agia antemi'nana Anumza mani'nane. (Gen-Agaf 11:31, 17:5)

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 Na'ankure agra maka agu'areti fatgo huno kavesigantegenka Kagra agrira hu hagerafi huvempage huntenka, kagripinti'ma henkama forehu nante anante'ma hu'za esaza vahera, Kenani vahe'ma, Hiti vahe'ma, Amori vahe'ma, Perizi vahe'ma, Jebusi vahe'ene Girgasi vahe'mokizmi mopa zamigahue hunka hunte'nane. Kagra fatgo Anumza mani'nanku, huvempama hu'nana keka'a eri otre'nane.

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 Tagri tagehe'zama Isipima mani'nazage'za Isipi vahe'mo'zama tusi'a knazama zami'nazana zamage'nane. Zamagra koranke hagerinte'ma emani'ne'za zamazama hananegu'ma Kagritegama zavi krafama hazagenka, Kagra antahi zami'nane.

And you saw the trouble of our fathers in Egypt, and their cry came to your ears by the Red Sea;

10 Kagra ruzahu ruzahu kaguvazane avamezane hunka Feronte'ene eri'za vahe'are'ene ana maka Isipima mani'naza vahe'enena zamazeri haviza hu'nane. Na'ankure zamagrama Israeli vahe'ma zamazeri havizantfama hazazanku anara hu'nane. Ana nehunka Kagia erinte ama hu'nankeno, vahe'mo'za meninena Kagia ahentesga nehaze.

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 Zamagra negazagenke hagerina refko hugantigama hankeno, amu'nompina ka fore hige'za hagege mopare vu'naze. Hianagi zamarotgoma hu'za aza vahera havema hiaza hunka timo'ma hankavemanetifi zamazeri atranke'za urami'naze.

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 Ferura hampompi mani'nenka vugota huzmantenka vu'nane. Hagi kenagera tevenefake hampompi mani'nenka, remsa huzmantenka kana zamaveri hanke'za vu'naze.

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 Hagi Sainai agonarera eraminka monafintira kea hunezaminka, fatgo huno knare'ma hu'nea tra ke'ne, kasegenena Kagra zami'nane.

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 Kagra ruotage'ma hu'nea Sabati knaka'a zamagritera emeri ante ama' nehunka, amage anteho hunka tra kene kasegeka'a, eri'za vaheka'a Mosesena ami'nane. (Eks-Uti 20:8)

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 Ne'zama ne'zanku'ma zamaga'ma netegenka monafinkati bretia nezaminka, tinku'ma zamavenesigenka, tina hankeno havefinti ege'za ne'naze. Hagi huvempama huzamantenka zamigahue hunkama hu'nana mopafi ufre'za erisanti hare'za mani'naze. Hanki tina omne'nege'za tinku zamave'nesigenka knare hunka havefinti tina erifore huzmi'nanke'za ne'naze.

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 Hianagi tagehe'mo'za zamavufaga ra nehazageno zamagu'amo'a hanavetige'za, kagri kasegea amagera onte'naze.

But they and our fathers, in their pride, made their necks stiff, and gave no attention to your orders,

17 Zamagra keka'a zamagesa ante'za nontahi'za, zamagri amunompima kaguva zantamima eri fore'ma hu'nana zankura zamagane kani'naze. Ana nehu'za zamefi hugami'za kea nontahi'za, ete kazokzo eri'zampi Isipi vanune hu'za mago kva ne' azeri oti'naze. Hianagi Kagra kumi atrente Anumza mani'nenka, kasunku hunezmantenka krimpa fru Anumza mani'nanankinka, kasunku hunezmantenka so'e kavukva nehunka, ame hunka krimpa ohenka mevava kavesizanu vahera kavesinentana Anumza mani'nane. E'ina hu'negu zamefira Kagra huozami'nane.

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 Hagi Sainai agonafima mani'ne'za goli eri'za bulimakoa tro hu'za anange hu'naze, ama anumzana tagri anumzane hu'za nehu'za, Isipitima tavre'noma e'nea anumzane hu'za hu'naze. Ana nehu'za Anumzamoka kagi'a eri haviza hu'naze.

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 Hianagi tusi'a kasunku huzmantenka hagege kokampina kamefira huzminka zamatranke'za ofri'naze. Feru'ma kama zamaveri huno nevia hampomo'a zamatreno ovigeno, kenage'ma remsa huno kama zamaveri'ma huno nevia teve nefake hampomo'a asura osu'ne.

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 Kagra knare Avamuka'a huntankeno antahintahia zami'ne. Kagra mana ne'zana zaminke'za nevava nehazagenka, tinku'ma hagegema hazagenka tina zaminke'za ne'naze. (Eks-Uti 16, 17:1-7)

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 Hanki 40'a kafumofo agu'afina hagege kokampina kegava huzmante'nanke'za mago zankura atupara osu'naze. Kukena zamimo'a tagato tagutura osigeno, zamagamo'a zoreno prora osu'ne. (Diu-Kas 8:4)

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 Kagra zamaza hanke'za kini vahera hara hu zamagtere'za afete'ma mani'naza vahe mopazamia eri'naze. E'ina hu'negu Hesboni kini ne' Sihoni mopane Basani kini ne' Ogi mopanena eri nafa'a hu'naze.

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 Ana nehunka zamagrira tusi mofavre naga zaminke'za, monafi hanafikna hazage'za hamprigara osu'naze. Ana nehunka zamafahe'ima huhampri zmante'nana mopafi zamavarenka ufre'nane.

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 Hagi zamagehemo'za ufre'za Kenani mopa ome eri nafa'a hu'naze. Kagra zamaza hanke'za Kenani mopafima nemaniza vahera zamavaretre'naze. Kini vahe'zamine, ana mopafima nemaniza vahe'ene Kenani vahe'enena zamazampi zamavare antanke'za, nazanoma huzamanteku'ma hazazana amne huzamante'naze.

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 Hagi hankavenentake keginama hu'naza ranra kumatamine, knare zantfama hu'nea mopanena hahu'za eneri'za, knare'nare zantamimo'ma avite'nea nontamine, ko'ma kafinte'naza tinkerinena eri nafa'a nehu'za, waini hozane, olivi zafa hozane, mago'a zafa raga hozanena rama'a eri nafa'a hu'naze. Zamagra tusi ne'za nene'za afovage nehu'za, tusi'a asomu'ma zamina zankura musenkase hu'naze.

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 Hianagi zamagra keka'a nontahi'za ha' renegante'za, kasegeka'a zamefi humi'naze. Kagritegama ete rukrahe hu'za ehogu'ma hankave keagama zamasami'za kasnampa vaheka'a zamahe fri'naze. Ana nehu'za Kagri kagia tusiza hu'za huhaviza hu'naze.

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 E'ina hu'nazagu ha' vahe'zami zamazampi zamavare antanke'za zamazeri haviza hu'naze. Hagi zamagrama zamatama e'neri'za, Kagritega krafage hazagenka monafinkati antahinezaminka, tusi kasuntagi zamantenka zamagu'ma vazi vahera huzmantanke'za e'za ha' vahe zamazampintira eme zamagu vazi'naze.

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 Hianagi zamagrama mani fruma nehu'za, Kagri kavurera havi'zama hu'nea avu'ava zana ete hu'naze. Anama hazagenka zamatranke'za ha' vahezamimo'za kegava huzmantage'za ete Kagritegama krafagema hazagenka, Kagra monafinkati krafa ke'zamia nentahinka kasunku huzmantenka, maka zupa zamavaretere hu'nane.

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 Hagi zamagrama rukrahe hu'za kasegeka'a amage antehogura hankave ke huzmante'nane. Hianagi zamavufaga ra nehu'za zamarimpamo'a hankavetige'za, keka'a ontahi'naze. Ana nehu'za vahe'mo'zama amage'ma ante'za so'e huzama maniga tra keka'a zamefi hunemi'za kumi hu'naze. Zamarimpamo'a hankavenetige'za zamefi hunegami'za, haviza hu'za keka'a amagera onte'naze.

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 Hanki rama'a kafufina akohenka fru hunezmantankeno Avamuka'amo'a kasnampa vahe zamagipi huvazino zamasami'neanagi, ana nanekerera tagehe'za zamagesa ante'za ontahi'naze. E'ina hu'negu ha' vahe'mokizmi zamazampi zamavare ante'nane.

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 Hianagi tusi'a kasunku hunezmantenka zamahe fananea nosunka, kamefira huozami'nane. Na'ankure Kagra fru hunka kasunku Anumza mani'nane.

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 Hanki e'ina hu'negu tagri Anumzana tusi hihamukane hentofaza hunka hankavenentake Anumza mani'nenka, maka zupa kagrama huvempama hu'nana kegu kagesa nentahinka, kavesirante vava nehana Anumza mani'nane. E'ina hu'negu muse hugantonanki, ko'ma Asiria kini vahe'mo'zama tazeri havizama hu'nareti'ma eno meninte'ma egeta, kini nagatine kva vahetine pristi vahetine kasnampa vahe'ene tafahe'ine, ana maka vaheka'amota tusi'a knazamo eme tazeri havizantfa hu'ne.

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 Hianagi e'i ana maka knazama tagrite'ma e'nea knafina Kagra fatgo kavukvaza hurante'nane. Hagi tagrama kumi'ma nehunkenka'a, huvempama hu'nana keka'a amage ante fatgo hunka taza hu'nane.

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 Hagi kini vahetimo'zane kva vahetimo'zane pristi nagatimo'zane, tafahe'mozanena Kagri kasegea amagera onte'naze. Kagrama hihoma hunka huzamante'nana nanekene, koro kema huzamante'nana nanekea zamagesa ante'za ontahi'naze.

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 Ana hu'nazanagi asomu huzamantenka kini vahera zaminke'za kegava huzamante'naze. Ana nehunka knare huno masavenkema hu'nea ra mopakrerfa zami'nane. Hianagi ana zankura zamagesa nentahi'za, Kagrira monora hunegante'za kefo zamavu zamavama nehaza zana netre'za ete rukrahera hu'za Kagritera ome'naze.

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 Hianagi menina knare huno masavenentake mopa tafahe'ina zaminke'za mani'ne'za zafa rgaramine knare'nare ne'zana ne'nazanagi, ama ana mopafina tagra kazokzo eri'za vahe menina mani'none.

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 Na'ankure tagra kumi hu'nona nona'a, ru vahe kinima huzamantanke'zama ezama eme kegavama hurante'naza kini vahe'mo'za, mopatifinti'ma knare'nare ne'zama hamarona ne'zana zamagrake'za eri'naze. Hagi tagri'ene afu nagatinena kegava hurante'neza, nazano tagritema hunaku'ma haza zana, amne hu'naze. Ana hazageta tusi'a knazampi mani'none.

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 Hanki ama ana zantamima refko'ma huta kevagamareteta, mago tarimpa huta Ra Anumzamofo kasege amage antegahune huta mago kea anakiteta avompi krente'none. Ana hunke'za kva vahetimo'zane Livae nagatimo'zane pristi nagatimo'za ana avomofo agofetura zamagi krentetere hu'za ana avona eri hankaveti'naze.

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.
