Nehemaia 1
1 Hanki Hakalia nemofo Nehemaia'a amanage huno naneke'a krente'ne, Pesia kini ne' Artserksisi'ma kinima manino egeno 20tima hia kafufina, Kislevie nehaza ikampina nagra Nehemaia'na hankavenentake vihu me'nea ran kumapi Susa mani'noe.
This is the account of Nehemiah, son of Hacaliah. In the month of Kislev, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes' reign, I was in the fortress at Susa.
2 Hanki ana zupa mago nenafu ne' Hanani'a mago'a venene'zagane Judatira nagritega azage'na, amanage hu'na zamantahige'noe, Jiu vahe'ma Babiloni kinafinti'ma atre'za vu'naza nagara knare huza mani'zageno, Jerusalemi kuma'mo'enena knare huno me'neo hu'na zamantahigoge'za,
Hanani, one of my brothers, came from Judah with some other men. I asked them about the remnant of the Jewish exiles who had returned from captivity, and also about Jerusalem.
3 zamagra amanage hu'za nasami'naze, Babiloni kinafinti'ma atre'zama vu'naza naga'mo'za tusi'a knafi nemanize. Ana nehazage'za tva'ozamire'ma nemaniza vahe'mo'zanena huhaviza huzmantazage'za zmagazegu hu'naze. Jerusalemi rankumamofo have kegina ahe fragu vazinetre'za, kuma kegina kafaramina teve tagintazageno te fanane hu'ne.
They told me, “The remnant who are left from the exile are there in the province, but they are having a great deal of trouble and feel humiliated. Jerusalem's walls have been knocked over, and its gates burned down.”
4 Hagi anankema nentahi'na, mopare mani'na tusi zavi nete'na mago'a zage knafi ne'zana a'o hu'na mani'nena, monafi Anumzamofo avurera zavira netena nunamuna amanage hu'na hu'noe.
When I heard the news, I sat down, weeping and mourning for days, fasting and praying to the God of heaven.
5 Ra Anumzana monafi Anumzamoka hankavenentake hu'nenka marerigaterenana Anumza mani'nane. Ana hu'nenka iza'o kagri'ma kavesi neganteno kagri kasegema amage'ma nentea vahera, vagaore kavesizanu navesi zamantegahue hunka huhagerafi huvempa keka'a amage antenka zamavesi nezamantana Anumza mani'nane.
Then I prayed, “Please, Lord God of heaven—the great and awesome God who keeps his agreement of trustworthy love with those who love him and keep his commandments—
6 Muse hugantoanki kavua antenka nenagenka, eri'za vahekamo'nama kagri kavure'ma Israeli vahekagu'ma, feru'ene kenage'enema nunamuma nehuana kagesa antenka antahinamio. Ana nehu'na Israeli vahe'motama kagri kavure'ma hu'nona kumiku'ene, nagra kumiku'ene, nenafa naga'mozama hu'naza kumikura kagri kavure huama nehue.
please listen and focus your attention on the prayer of your servant that I am praying to you now, day and night, on behalf of your servants, the Israelites. I confess the sins that we Israelites have committed against you, including my own sins and those of my family.
7 Kagri kavurera kefo tavutva nehuta, havizantfa hu'none. Ana nehuta amage'ma anteho hunkama eri'za vaheka'a Mosesema ami'nana kasegene tra kekanena amagera onte'none.
We have done terrible things to offend you and we have not kept the commandments, laws, and regulations that you gave to your servant Moses.
8 Hianagi muse hugantoanki eri'za vaheka'a Mosesema amanahu ke'ma hunte'nana kegu kagesa antahio. Tamagra Israeli vahe'motama Nagrite'ma mani fatgoma osutma tamefi'ma hunamisage'na, tamagrira tamazeri panani hanugetma kokankoka vahe moparega vuta eta huta umani emani hugahaze.
Please remember what you told Moses when you said, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations,
9 Hianagi tamagrama Nagrite'ma eta kasegeni'ama amage'ma antesage'na, mopama omete emete hutegama kinama ome hu'nesaregatira tamavre'na Nagri nagima hentesga hugahazema hunama huhampri ante'noa kumate tamavre'na egahue hunka'ma hu'nana kegura kagesa antahio.
but if you come back to me and follow my commandments and obey them, then even if you are exiled to the ends of the earth, I will gather them together and bring them to the place I have chosen where I will be honored.
10 Hanki tagra Israeli vahera Kagri vahe mani'neta Kagri eri'za vahe mani'none. Kagra tusi'a hankaveka'areti'ene, hankavenentake kzanteti taguvazinka kinafinti tavre'nana vahe mani'none.
They are your servants and our people. You saved them by your great power and incredible ability.
11 Ra Anumzamoka muse hugantoanki eri'za vahekamo'nama nunamuma huana kagesa antenka antahi nenaminka, mago'a eri'za vaheka'ama Kagri kagima ahentesgama nehaza eri'za vahe'kamozanema nehaza nunamune nentahinka, muse hugantoankinka menina eri'za vahekamo'na, waini tima tro'ma hu'nama nemua kini ne'mofona arimpa azeri otisankeno asunkura hunanteno, inazanku'ma hanua zana amne tro hanigeno knare'zantfa hino.
Lord, please respond to my prayer and to the prayers of those who love to worship you. Please let me be successful today and make the king sympathetic to me.” I was the king's cupbearer.
