Nehemiah 9
1 Ke len se aklongoul akosr in malem sacna, mwet Israel elos toeni in lalo. Elos nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa ac filiya fohkfok fin sifalos, mwe akkalemye asor lalos ke ma koluk lalos.
Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel assembled with fasting, and in sackcloths, and with ashes on their head.
2 Na elos su ma in fwil nutin Israel na pwaye, elos srelosla liki mwetsac nukewa, ac elos tuyak ac fahkak ma koluk lalos ac ma koluk lun mwet matu lalos meet ah.
And the children of Israel separated themselves from every stranger, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.
3 Ke elos tu na, Book in Ma Sap lun LEUM GOD lalos ritiyuk nu selos ke lusen ao tolu, ac ke ao tolu tokoyang elos fahkak ma koluk lalos ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD lalos.
And they stood in their place, and read in the book of the law of the Lord their god: and they confessed [their sins] to the Lord, and worshipped the Lord their God.
4 Oasr acn se loangyak nu sin mwet Levi, na mwet inge elos tuyak fac: Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani ac Chenani. Elos pre ke pusra lulap nu sin LEUM GOD lalos.
[And] there stood upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jesus, and the sons of Cadmiel, Sechenia the son of Sarabia, sons of Choneni; and they cried with a loud voice to the Lord their God.
5 Mwet Levi inge: Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, ac Pethahiah, elos ikasla pacl in alu ac fahk, “Tuyak ac kaksakin LEUM GOD lowos; Kaksakunul nwe tok ma pahtpat! Lela mwet nukewa in kaksakin Inel wolana Finne kaksak lasr tia ku in sun lupan kaksak fal nu sel.”
And the Levites, Jesus and Cadmiel, said, Rise up, bless the Lord our God forever and ever: and let them bless your glorious name, and exalt it with all blessing and praise.
6 Na mwet Israel elos pre ac fahk: “O kom, LEUM GOD kom mukefanna LEUM GOD. Kom orala kusrao ac itu nukewa inkusrao. Kom orala finmes ac ma nukewa fac, oayapa meoa ac ma nukewa loac. Kom asang moul nu sin ma nukewa. Ku nukewa ma oan inkusrao pasrla ac alu nu sum.
And Esdras said, You are the only true Lord; you made the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, and all their array, the earth, and all things that are in it, the seas, and all things in them; and you quicken all things, and the hosts of heaven worship you.
7 Kom, LEUM GOD, sulella Abram Ac pwanulla liki acn Ur in Babylonia. Kom ekulla inel nu ke Abraham.
You are the Lord God, you did choose Abram, and brought him out of the land of the Chaldeans, and gave him the name of Abraam:
8 Kom konauk lah el inse pwaye nu sum, Ac kom orala sie wulela inmasrlom el. Kom wulela tuh kom fah sang facl lun mwet Canaan, Ac facl lun mwet Hit ac mwet Amor, Facl lun mwet Periz, mwet Jebus, ac mwet Girgas, Nu sel, tuh fwil natul in muta we. Kom oru oana wuleang lom, mweyen kom suwohs.
and you found his heart faithful before you, and did make a covenant with him to give to him and to his seed the land of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Pherezites, and Jebusites, and Gergesites; and you have confirmed your words, for you [are] righteous.
9 “Kom liye lupan keok lun mwet matu lasr in acn Egypt. Kom lohng ke elos pang nu sum sisken Meoa Srusra.
And you saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and you heard their cry at the Red Sea.
10 Kom orala mwenmen usrnguk lain tokosra, Lain mwet fulat lal ac mwet in facl sel, Mweyen kom etu lupan akkeokyeyen mwet lom. Pwengpeng lom in pacl sac srakna oan nwe misenge.
And you showed signs and wonders in Egypt, on Pharao and all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for you know that they behaved insolently against them: and you made yourself a name, as at this day.
11 Kom sralik inkof uh ye mutalos Ac pwanulos sasla fin acn pao. Mwet su ukwalos elos walomla in kof loal Oana sie eot tilla in meoa pulkulak.
And you did cleave the sea before them, and they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land; and you did cast into the deep them that were about to pursue them, as a stone in the mighty water.
12 Kom pwanulos ke sie pukunyeng ke len, Ac ke fong kom tolak inkanek lalos ke e.
And you guided them by day by a pillar of cloud, and by night by a pillar of fire, to enlighten for them the way wherein they should walk.
13 Kom tufoki liki inkusrao nu fineol Sinai. Kom sramsram nu sin mwet lom Ac sang nu selos ma sap wowo ac mwe luti suwohs.
Also you came down upon mount Sina, and you spoke to them out of heaven, and gave them right judgements, and laws of truth, ordinances, and good commandments.
14 Kom luti nu selos in liyaung len Sabbath mutal lom, Ac kom sang ma sap lom ac oakwuk lom nu selos sel Moses, mwet kulansap lom.
And you did make known to them your holy sabbath; you did enjoin upon them commandments, and ordinances, and a law, by the hand of your servant Moses.
15 “Ke elos masrinsral, kom kitalos bread inkusrao me. Ke elos malu, kom aksororye kof nimalos ke eot uh me. Ac kom fahk tuh elos in eis selos facl se su kom Wuleang tuh kom fah sang nu selos.
And you gave them bread from heaven for their food, and you brought them forth water from a rock for their thirst; and you bade them go in to inherit the land over which you stretched out your hand to give [it] them.
16 Tusruktu mwet matu lasr meet ah elos inse fulatak ac likkeke Ac tia lungse akos ma sap lom.
But they and our fathers behaved proudly, and hardened their neck, and did not listen to your commandments,
17 Elos tiana akos. Elos mulkunla Orekma usrnguk nukewa kom tuh oru. Ke sripen inse fulat lalos elos sulela sie mwet kol In folokunulosla nu ke moul in mwet kohs in acn Egypt. Tuh kom sie God su nunak munas. Kom kulang ac pakoten, ac tia sa in kasrkusrak. Yoklana lungkulang lom, ac kom tiana siselosla.
and refused to listen, and remembered not your wonders which you wrought with them; and they hardened their neck, and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt: but you, O God, [are] merciful and compassionate, longsuffering, and abundant in mercy, and you did not forsake them.
18 Elos orala sie ma sruloala in luman soko cow mukul fusr, Ac fahk mu el pa god se su kololos me liki Egypt! Ke elos oru ouinge elos arulana akkasrkusrakye kom, LEUM GOD!
And still farther they even made to themselves a molten calf, and said, These [are] the gods that brought us up out of Egypt: and they wrought great provocations.
19 Tuh kom tiana siselosla ingo in acn mwesis, Tuh pakoten lom yoklana. Kom tiana eisla pukunyeng ac e, Su akkalemye inkanek lalos ke len ac ke fong.
Yet you in your great compassions did not forsake them in the wilderness: you did not turn away from them the pillar of the cloud by day, to guide them in the way, nor the pillar of fire by night, to enlighten for them the way wherein they should walk.
20 Ke ngun wo lom, kom fahkang nu selos ma elos in oru. Kom kitalos manna, ac sang kof nimalos.
And you gave your good Spirit to instruct them, and you did not withhold your manna from their mouth, and gave them water in their thirst.
21 Ke yac angngaul lalos in acn mwesis Kom sang enenu lalos nukewa: Nuknuk lalos tiana kulawi, Ac nialos tiana fafwak.
And you did sustain them forty years in the wilderness; you did not allow anything to fail them: their garments did not wax old, and their feet were not bruised.
22 “Kom sang kutangla nu selos fin mutunfacl ac tokosrai puspis, Ke acn su oan siskalos. Elos eisla acn Heshbon, yen Sihon el leum we, Ac acn Bashan, yen Og el tokosra we.
Moreover, you gave them kingdoms, and did divide nations to them: and they inherited the land of Seon king of Esebon, and the land of Og king of Basan.
23 Kom sang tulik puspis natulos, oana itu inkusrao, Ac oru tuh elos in eisla ac muta fin acn Su kom tuh wuleang nu sin mwet matu lalos mu kom ac sang nu selos.
And you did multiply their children as the stars of heaven, and brought them into the land of which you spoke to their fathers;
24 Elos eisla acn Canaan. Kom kutangla fin mwet su muta we. Kom sang ku nu sin mwet lom in oru kutena ma elos lungse oru Nu sin mwet Canaan ac tokosra nukewa lalos.
And they inherited it: and you did destroy from before them the dwellers in the land of the Chananites, and you gave into their hands them and their kings, and the nations of the land, to do to them as it pleased them.
25 Mwet lom elos sruokya siti kuhlusyukyak ke pot ku, Oayapa acn wo fohk we, ac lohm we sessesla ke mwe kasrup, Ac lufin kof pukpukyak tari, Sak olive, sak oswe fokinsak, ac ima in grape. Elos mongo nwe ke na elos kihpi ac fatelik. Elos engankin ma wo nukewa kom sang nu selos.
And they took lofty cities, and inherited houses full of all good things, wells dug, vineyards, and olive yards, and every fruit tree in abundance: so they ate, and were filled, and grew fat, and rioted in your great goodness.
26 “A mwet lom elos seakos ac lain kom. Elos ngetla liki Ma Sap lom. Elos uniya mwet palu su fahkak kas in sensenkakinulos, Su fahk nu selos in foloko nu yurum. Pacl puspis elos fahk kas in akkolukye kom,
But they turned, and revolted from you, and cast your law behind their backs; and they killed your prophets, who testified against them to turn them back to you, and they wrought great provocations.
27 Pwanang kom fuhlela tuh mwet lokoalok lalos in kutangulosla ac leum faclos. Ke pacl upa nu selos, elos pang nu sum tuh kom in kasrelos, Ac kom topkolos inkusrao me. Ke pakoten lulap lom kom supwama mwet kol nu yorolos, Su molelosla liki mwet lokoalok lalos.
Then you gave them into the hand of them that afflicted them, and they did afflict them: and they cried to you in the time of their affliction, and you did hear them from your heaven, and in your great compassions gave them deliverers, and did save them from the hand of them that afflicted them.
28 Ke sifil oasr misla inmasrlolos, elos sifilpa oru ma koluk, Ac kom sifilpa fuhlelosyang nu inpoun mwet lokoalok lalos. Sruk ke pacl elos auliyak ac siyuk kom in molelosla, Kom lohng inkusrao me, ac pacl nu ke pacl Kom molelosla ke pakoten lulap lom.
But when they rested, they did evil again before you: so you left them in the hands of their enemies, and they ruled over them: and they cried again to you, and you heard [them] from heaven, and did deliver them in your great compassions.
29 Kom sensenkakinulos tuh elos in akos mwe luti lom, A ke nunak fulat lalos, elos likinsai ma sap lom, Sruk karinganang Ma Sap lom pa inkanek in moul. Ke keke in nunak ac likkeke lalos, elos tiana akos.
And you did testify against them, to bring them back to your law: but they listened not, but sinned against your commandments and your judgements, which if a man do, he shall live in them; and they turned their back, and hardened their neck, and heard not.
30 Yac nu ke yac, kom mongfisrasr in akesmakinyalos. Kom pirik mwet palu lom in kaskas nu selos, A mwet lom elos tiana lohng, Ouinge kom eisalosyang nu inpoun mutunfacl saya.
Yet you did bear long with them many years, and did testify to them by your Spirit by the hand of your prophets: but they listened not; so you gave them into the hand of the nations of the land.
31 Ne ouinge, ke sripen yokna pakoten lom Kom tiana siselosla ku kunauselosla. Kom sie God kulang ac pakoten!
But you in your many mercies did not appoint them to destruction, and did not forsake them; for you are strong, and merciful, and pitiful.
32 “O God, kom God lasr, su arulana fulat Ac mangol, ac yoklana ku lom! Kom akpwayeye wuleang ac lungkulang lom. Oe in pacl se tokosra lun acn Assyria elos akkeokye kut Nwe misenge, arulana yohk keok lasr! Tokosra lasr, mwet kol lasr, mwet palu ac mwet tol lasr, Mwet matu lasr meet ah, ac mwet lasr nukewa wi sun keok. Esam na keok lulap lasr!
And now, O our God, the powerful, the great, the mighty, and the terrible, keeping your covenant and your mercy, let not all the trouble seem little in your sight which has come upon us, and our kings, and our princes, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and upon all your people, from the days of the kings of Assur even to this day.
33 Fal na lah kom kalyei kut. Kom suwosna, kut ne oru ma koluk.
But you [are] righteous in all the things that come upon us; for you have wrought faithfully, but we have greatly sinned.
34 Mwet matu lasr meet, oayapa tokosra lasr, mwet kol ac mwet tol lasr Elos tiana liyaung Ma Sap lom. Elos tiana porongo ma kom sapkin ac kas in sensenkakin lom.
And our kings, and our princes, and our priests, and our fathers, have not performed your law, and have not given heed to your commandments, and [have not kept] your testimonies which you did testify to them.
35 Kom tuh akinsewowoye tokosra su leum fin mwet lom Ke elos muta ke sie acn yohk ac wo fohk we, ma kom sang nu selos; Tusruktu elos tiana forla liki orekma koluk lalos in kulansupwekom.
And they did not serve you in your kingdom, and in your great goodness which you gave to them, and in the large and fat land which you did furnish before them, and they turned not from their evil devices.
36 Na inge kut mwet kohs in facl se kom tuh ase nu sesr, Aok, in acn wowo se inge su kite kut mwe mongo.
Behold, we are servants this day, and [as for] the land which you gave to our fathers to eat the fruit of it and the good things of it, behold, we are servants upon it:
37 Kutena ma kosrani ke acn uh, ma na nu sin tokosra uh, Su kom oakiya facsr ke sripen kut orekma koluk. Elos oru oana lungse lalos nu sesr ac nu sin kosro natusr, Ac kut muta in ongoiya lulap!”
and its produce [is] abundant for the kings whom you did appoint over us because of our sins; and they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, as it pleases them, and we are in great affliction.
38 Ke sripen ma sikyak inge nukewa, kut mwet Israel insese in simusla sie wuleang ku, na mwet kol lasr ac mwet Levi ac mwet tol lasr elos filiya sil lalos kac.
And in regard to all these circumstances we make a covenant, and write [it], and our princes, our Levites, [and] our priests, set their seal to [it].
