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 the same month the people of Israel were assembled and they were fasting, and they were wearing sackcloth, and they put dust on their heads.

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.

The descendants of Israel separated themselves from all the foreigners. They stood and confessed their own sins and the evil actions of their ancestors.

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.

They stood up in their places, and for one-fourth of the day they read from the book of the law of Yahweh their God. For another fourth of the day they were confessing and bowing down before Yahweh 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.

The Levites, Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Kenani, stood on the stairs and they called out with a loud voice to Yahweh 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, “Stand up and give praise to Yahweh your God forever and ever.” “May they bless your glorious name, and may it be exalted above every 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 Yahweh. You alone. You have made heaven, the highest heavens, with all their host, and the earth and everything on it, and the seas and all that is in them. You give life to them all, and the host of heaven worship you.

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 Yahweh, the God who chose Abram, and brought him out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gave him the name 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 found his heart was faithful before you, and you made with him the covenant to give to his descendants the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, and the Girgashites. You have kept your promise because you are righteous.

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.

You saw the affliction of our forefathers in Egypt and you heard their cry by the Sea of Reeds.

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.

You gave signs and wonders against Pharaoh, and all his servants, and on all the people of his land, for you knew that the Egyptians acted with arrogance against them. But you made a name for yourself which stands to this day.

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.

Then you divided the sea before them, so that they went through the middle of the sea on the dry land; and threw those who pursued them into the depths, as a stone into deep waters.

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

You led them by a pillar of cloud during by day, and by a pillar of fire during the night to light the way for them to go.

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

On Mount Sinai you came down and you spoke with them from heaven and gave to them righteous decrees and true laws, good statutes and commandments.

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)

You made your holy Sabbath known to them, and you gave them commandments and statutes and a law through 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.

You gave them bread from heaven for their hunger, and water from a rock for their thirst, and you said to them to go in to possess the land you swore on oath 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 ancestors acted disrespectfully, and they were stubborn, and did not listen to your commandments.

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.

They refused to listen, and they did not think about the wonders that you had done among them, but became stubborn, and in their rebellion they appointed a leader to return to their slavery. But you are a God who is full of forgiveness, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love. You did not abandon them.

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 cast a calf out of molten metal and said, 'This is your God who brought you up out of Egypt,' and had committed great blasphemies,

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.

you, in your compassion, did not abandon them in the wilderness. The pillar of cloud to lead them on the way did not leave them during day, neither did the pillar of fire by night to light the way for them 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)

Your good Spirit you gave them to instruct them, and your manna you did not withhold from their mouths, and water you gave them for their thirst.

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)

For forty years you provided for them in the wilderness, and they lacked nothing. Their clothes did not wear out and their feet did not swell.

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.

You gave them kingdoms and peoples, assigning to them every corner of the land. Then they took possession of the land of Sihon 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.

You made their children as numerous as the stars of heaven, and you brought them into the land that you told their ancestors to go in and possess.

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 people went in and possessed the land and you subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites. You gave them into their hands, with their kings and the peoples of the land, that Israel might do with them as they pleased.

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.

They captured the fortified cities and a productive land, and they captured houses full of all good things, cisterns already cut out, vineyards and olive orchards, and fruit trees in abundance. So they ate and were satisfied and grew fat and enjoyed themselves in your great goodness.

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.

Then they became disobedient and they rebelled against you. They threw your law behind their backs. They murdered your prophets who had warned them to turn back to you, and they committed great blasphemies.

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.

So you gave them into the hand of their enemies, who made them suffer. In the time of their suffering, they cried out to you, and you heard them from heaven, and because of your great mercies you sent them rescuers who rescued them out of the hand of their enemies.

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 after they had rest, they did evil again before you, and you abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, so their enemies ruled over them. Yet when they returned and cried out to you, you heard from heaven, and many times because of your compassion you rescued them.

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.

You warned them so they might turn back to your law. Yet they acted arrogantly and did not listen to your commands. They sinned against your decrees which give life to anyone who obeys them. They gave the stubborn shoulder-blade and stiffened their neck and refused to listen.

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.

For many years you put up with them and warned them by your Spirit through your prophets. Yet they did not listen. So you gave them into the hand of the neighboring peoples.

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

But in your great mercies you did not make a complete end of them, or forsake them, for you are a gracious and merciful God.

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.

Now therefore, our God—you great, mighty, and awesome God who keep your covenant and steadfast love—do not let all this hardship seem little to you that has come on us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our ancestors, and on all your people from the days of the kings of Assyria until today.

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.

You are just in everything that has come on us, for you have dealt faithfully, but we have acted wickedly.

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.

Our kings, our princes, our priests, and our ancestors have not kept your law, nor paid attention to your commandments or your covenant decrees by which you warned 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.

Even in their own kingdom, while they enjoyed your great goodness to them, in the large and productive land you set before them, they did not serve you or turn away from their evil ways.

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 we are slaves in the land you gave our ancestors to enjoy its fruit and its good gifts, and behold, we are slaves 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.

The rich yield from our land goes to the kings you have set over us because of our sins. They rule over our bodies and over our livestock as they please. We are in great distress.

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.

Because of all this, we make a firm covenant in writing. On the sealed document are the names of our princes, Levites, and priests.”
