Nehemia 9

1 Siku ya ishirini na nne ya mwezi huo huo watu wa Israeli walikusanyika, nao walikuwa wamefunga, nao walikuwa wamevaa magunia, nao wakaweka vumbi juu ya vichwa vyao.

and in/on/with day twenty and four to/for month [the] this to gather son: descendant/people Israel in/on/with fast and in/on/with sackcloth and land: soil upon them

2 Wazao wa Israeli walijitenga na wageni wote. Walisimama na kukiri dhambi zao wenyewe na matendo maovu ya baba zao.

and to separate seed: children Israel from all son: type of foreign and to stand: stand and to give thanks upon sin their and iniquity: crime father their

3 Walisimama mahali pao, na robo ya siku walisoma kutoka Kitabu cha Sheria ya Bwana Mungu wao. Na robo nyingine ya siku walikiri na kuinama mbele ya Bwana Mungu wao.

and to arise: establish upon post their and to call: read out in/on/with scroll: book instruction LORD God their fourth [the] day and fourth to give thanks and to bow to/for LORD God their

4 Walawi, Yeshua, Bani, Kadmieli, Shebaniya, Buni, Sherebia, Bani na Kenani, walisimama juu ya ngazi, wakamwita Bwana, Mungu wao kwa sauti kubwa.

and to arise: establish upon ascent [the] Levi Jeshua and Bani Kadmiel Shebaniah Bunni Sherebiah Bani Chenani and to cry out in/on/with voice great: large to(wards) LORD God their

5 Ndipo Walawi, na Yeshua, na Kadmieli, na Bani, na Hashabneya, na Sherebia, na Hodia, na Shebania, na Pethalia, wakasema, “Simameni, mkamsifu Bwana, Mungu wenu, milele na milele.” “Libarikiwe jina lako tukufu, lililotukuka kuliko baraka zote na sifa zote.

and to say [the] Levi Jeshua and Kadmiel Bani Hashabneiah Sherebiah Hodiah Shebaniah Pethahiah to arise: establish to bless [obj] LORD God your from [the] forever: enduring till [the] forever: enduring and to bless name glory your and to exalt upon all blessing and praise

6 Wewe ni Bwana. Wewe peke yako. Wewe umefanya mbinguni, mbingu za juu, na malaika wote wa vita vita, na dunia na kila kitu kilicho juu yake, na bahari na vyote vilivyomo. Unawapa wote uzima, na majeshi ya malaika wanakusujudia.

you(m. s.) he/she/it LORD to/for alone you (you(m. s.) *Q(K)*) to make [obj] [the] heaven heaven [the] heaven and all army their [the] land: country/planet and all which upon her [the] sea and all which in/on/with them and you(m. s.) to live [obj] all their and army [the] heaven to/for you to bow

7 Wewe ndiwe Bwana, Mungu aliyemchagua Abramu, akamtoa kutoka Uri wa Wakaldayo, akamwita Ibrahimu.

you(m. s.) he/she/it LORD [the] God which to choose in/on/with Abram and to come out: send him from Ur Chaldea and to set: name name his Abraham

8 Uliona moyo wake ulikuwa mkamilifu mbele yako, nawe ukafanya pamoja naye agano la kuwapa wazao wake nchi ya Wakanaani, na Mhiti, na Mwamori, na Perizi, na Myebusi, na Wagirgashi. Umeweka ahadi yako kwa sababu wewe ni mwenye haki.

and to find [obj] heart his be faithful to/for face: before your and to cut: make(covenant) with him [the] covenant to/for to give: give [obj] land: country/planet [the] Canaanite [the] Hittite [the] Amorite and [the] Perizzite and [the] Jebusite and [the] Girgashite to/for to give: give to/for seed: children his and to arise: establish [obj] word: promised your for righteous you(m. s.)

9 Uliona shida ya baba zetu Misri na ukasikia kilio chao kando ya bahari ya shamu.

and to see: see [obj] affliction father our in/on/with Egypt and [obj] outcry their to hear: hear upon sea Red (Sea)

10 Wewe ulifanya ishara na maajabu juu ya Farao, na watumishi wake wote, na watu wote wa nchi yake, kwa maana ulijua kwamba Wamisri walifanya kwa kujivunia. Lakini ulijifanyia jina ambalo linasimama hadi siku leo.

and to give: make sign: miraculous and wonder in/on/with Pharaoh and in/on/with all servant/slave his and in/on/with all people land: country/planet his for to know for to boil upon them and to make to/for you name like/as [the] day [the] this

11 Ukagawanya bahari mbele yao, wakavuka katikati ya bahari juu ya nchi kavu; na ukawatupa wale waliowa ndani ya kina, kama jiwe ndani ya maji ya kina.

and [the] sea to break up/open to/for face: before their and to pass in/on/with midst [the] sea in/on/with dry land and [obj] to pursue them to throw in/on/with depth like stone in/on/with water strong

12 Wewe uliwaongoza kwa nguzo ya wingu wakati wa mchana, na kwa nguzo ya moto wakati wa usiku, ili kuwamulikia njiani waweze kutembea katika nuru yake.

and in/on/with pillar cloud to lead them by day and in/on/with pillar fire night to/for to light to/for them [obj] [the] way: road which to go: went in/on/with her

13 Ulishuka juu ya Mlima Sinai ukazungumza nao kutoka mbinguni ukawapa amri za haki na sheria za kweli, amri nzuri na maagizo.

and upon mountain: mount Sinai to go down and to speak: speak with them from heaven and to give: give to/for them justice: judgement upright and instruction truth: certain statute: decree and commandment pleasant

14 Uliwajulisha sabato yako takatifu, ukawapa amri, maagizo, na sheria kupitia Musa mtumishi wako.

and [obj] Sabbath holiness your to know to/for them and commandment and statute: decree and instruction to command to/for them in/on/with hand: by Moses servant/slave your

15 Uliwapa chakula kutoka mbinguni kwa ajili ya njaa yao, na maji kutoka mwamba kwa kiu yao, ukawaambia waende kuimiliki nchi uliyowaapa kwa kiapo kuwapa.

and food: bread from heaven to give: give to/for them to/for famine their and water from crag to come out: issue to/for them to/for thirst their and to say to/for them to/for to come (in): come to/for to possess: take [obj] [the] land: country/planet which to lift: vow [obj] hand: vow your to/for to give: give to/for them

16 Lakini wao na baba zetu walifanya uasi, nao walikuwa wakaidi, wala hawakuzitii amri zako.

and they(masc.) and father our to boil and to harden [obj] neck their and not to hear: obey to(wards) commandment your

17 Walikataa kusikiliza, na hawakufikiri juu ya maajabu uliyofanya kati yao, lakini wakawa wakaidi, na katika uasi wao waliweka kiongozi ili wairudie hali ya utumwa. Lakini wewe ni Mungu ambaye amejaa msamaha, mwenye rehema na huruma, si mwepesi wa hasira, na wingi katika upendo thabiti. Wewe haukuwaacha.

and to refuse to/for to hear: obey and not to remember to wonder your which to make: do with them and to harden [obj] neck their and to give: put head: leader to/for to return: return to/for slavery their in/on/with rebellion their and you(m. s.) god forgiveness gracious and compassionate slow face: anger and many (kindness *Q(K)*) and not to leave: forsake them

18 Wala hukuwaacha hata walipokwisha kutoa ndama katika chuma kilichochomwa na kusema, “Huyu ndio Mungu wenu aliyekuleta kutoka Misri,” wakati walipopotoka sana.

also for to make to/for them calf liquid and to say this God your which to ascend: establish you from Egypt and to make: do contempt great: large

19 Wewe, kwa huruma yako, hukuwaacha katika jangwa. Nguzo ya wingu iliyowangoza njiani haikuwaacha wakati wa mchana, wala nguzo ya moto usiku iliwaangazia barabara ambayo walipaswa kutembea.

and you(m. s.) in/on/with compassion your [the] many not to leave: forsake them in/on/with wilderness [obj] pillar [the] cloud not to turn aside: depart from upon them in/on/with day their to/for to lead them in/on/with [the] way: road and [obj] pillar [the] fire in/on/with night to/for to light to/for them and [obj] [the] way: road which to go: went in/on/with her

20 Uliwapa Roho wako mzuri kuwafundisha, na mana yako haukuwanyima kinywani mwao, na ukawapa maji kwa kiu yao.

and spirit your [the] pleasant to give: give to/for be prudent them and manna your not to withhold from lip their and water to give: give to/for them to/for thirst their

21 Kwa miaka arobaini uliwaruzuku jangwani, na hawakukosa chochote. Nguo zao hazikuchakaa na miguu yao haikuvimba.

and forty year to sustain them in/on/with wilderness not to lack garment their not to become old and foot their not to swell

22 Uliwapa falme na watu, na ukawapa ardhi katika kila kona ya mbali. Basi wakaimiliki nchi ya Sihoni mfalme wa Heshboni, na nchi ya Ogu mfalme wa Bashani.

and to give: give to/for them kingdom and people and to divide them to/for side and to possess: take [obj] land: country/planet Sihon and [obj] land: country/planet king Heshbon and [obj] land: country/planet Og king [the] Bashan

23 Uliwafanya watoto wao kuwa wengi kama nyota za mbinguni, na ukawaingiza katika nchi. Uliwaambia baba zao waingie na kumiliki.

and son: child their to multiply like/as star [the] heaven and to come (in): bring them to(wards) [the] land: country/planet which to say to/for father their to/for to come (in): come to/for to possess: take

24 Basi watu wakaingia, wakaimiliki nchi, ukawashinda wenyeji wa nchi hiyo, Wakanaani. Ukawatia mikononi mwao, pamoja na wafalme wao na watu wa nchi, ili Israeli afanye nao kama walivyotaka.

and to come (in): come [the] son: descendant/people and to possess: take [obj] [the] land: country/planet and be humble to/for face: before their [obj] to dwell [the] land: country/planet [the] Canaanite and to give: give them in/on/with hand: power their and [obj] king their and [obj] people [the] land: country/planet to/for to make: do in/on/with them like/as acceptance their

25 Wao waliteka miji yenye nguvu na nchi yenye ustawi, nao wakachukua nyumba zenye vitu vyote vyema, birika zilizochimbwa, mizabibu na miti ya mizeituni, na miti ya matunda mengi. Kwa hiyo walikula na wakashiba na wakatosheka, na wakafurahi kwa wema wako.

and to capture city to gather/restrain/fortify and land: soil rich and to possess: take house: home full all goodness pit to hew vineyard and olive and tree food to/for abundance and to eat and to satisfy and to grow fat and to luxuriate in/on/with goodness your [the] great: large

26 Basi hawakukutii na wakawaasi. Walitupa sheria yako nyuma ya migongo yao. Waliwaua manabii wako waliowaonya wakurudie wewe, nao wakafanya ukatili mkubwa.

and to rebel and to rebel in/on/with you and to throw [obj] instruction your after the back their and [obj] prophet your to kill which to testify in/on/with them to/for to return: repent them to(wards) you and to make contempt great: large

27 Kwa hiyo ukawatia mikononi mwa adui zao, aliyewatesa. Na wakati wa mateso yao, walikulilia na wewe uliwasikia kutoka mbinguni na mara nyingi ukawaokoa katika mikono ya adui zao, kwa sababu ya huruma zako nyingi.

and to give: give them in/on/with hand: power enemy their and be distressed to/for them and in/on/with time distress their to cry to(wards) you and you(m. s.) from heaven to hear: hear and like/as compassion your [the] many to give: give to/for them to save and to save them from hand: power enemy their

28 Lakini baada ya kupumzika, wakafanya mabaya tena mbele yako, nawe ukawaacha mikononi mwa adui zao, kwa hiyo adui zao wakatawala juu yao. Hata walipokurudia na kukulilia, ukasikia kutoka mbinguni, mara nyingi ukawaokoa kwa sababu ya huruma yako.

and like/as to rest to/for them to return: again to/for to make: do bad: evil to/for face: before your and to leave: forsake them in/on/with hand: power enemy their and to rule in/on/with them and to return: repent and to cry out you and you(m. s.) from heaven to hear: hear and to rescue them like/as compassion your many time

29 Uliwaonya ili wapate kurudi kwenye sheria yako. Hata hivyo walifanya kiburi na hawakusikiliza amri zako. Walifanya dhambi dhidi ya amri zako ambazo humpa uzima mtu yeyote anayezitii. Hawakuzitii, hawakuzitenda na walikataa kuzisikiliza.

and to testify in/on/with them to/for to return: repent them to(wards) instruction your and they(masc.) to boil and not to hear: obey to/for commandment your and in/on/with justice: judgement your to sin in/on/with them which to make: do man and to live in/on/with them and to give: put shoulder to rebel and neck their to harden and not to hear: obey

30 Kwa miaka mingi ukachukiliana nao na kuwaonya kwa Roho wako kwa njia ya manabii wako. Hata hivyo hawakusikiliza. Kwa hiyo ukawatia mikononi mwa watu wa jirani.

and to draw upon them year many and to testify in/on/with them in/on/with spirit your in/on/with hand: by prophet your and not to listen and to give: give them in/on/with hand: power people [the] land: country/planet

31 Lakini kwa huruma zako kubwa hukuwakomesha kabisa, au kuwaacha, kwa maana wewe ni Mungu mwenye rehema na mwenye huruma.

and in/on/with compassion your [the] many not to make them consumption and not to leave: forsake them for God gracious and compassionate you(m. s.)

32 Basi, Mungu wetu, Mungu wetu mkuu, mwenye nguvu na mwenye kutisha, unayeweka agano lako na upendo wako, shida zote zilizotupata sisi, wafalme wetu, wakuu wetu, na makuhani wetu, na manabii wetu, na baba zetu, na watu wako wote tangu siku za wafalme wa Ashuru mpaka leo usizihesabu kuwa ni kidogo.

and now God our [the] God [the] great: large [the] mighty man and [the] to fear: revere to keep: obey [the] covenant and [the] kindness not to diminish to/for face of your [obj] all [the] hardship which to find us to/for king our to/for ruler our and to/for priest our and to/for prophet our and to/for father our and to/for all people your from day king Assyria till [the] day [the] this

33 Wewe ni mwenye haki katika yote yaliyotupata, kwa kuwa umetenda kwa uaminifu, na tumefanya uovu.

and you(m. s.) righteous upon all [the] to come (in): come upon us for truth: faithful to make: do and we be wicked

34 Wafalme wetu, wakuu wetu, makuhani wetu, na baba zetu hawakuishika sheria yako, wala hawakuzingatia amri zako au shuhuda zako ulizowashuhudia.

and [obj] king our ruler our priest our and father our not to make: do instruction your and not to listen to(wards) commandment your and to/for testimony your which to testify in/on/with them

35 Hata katika ufalme wao wenyewe, wakati walifurahia wema wako kwao, katika nchi kubwa na yenye mazao uliyoweka mbele yao, hawakukutumikia au kuacha njia zao mbaya.

and they(masc.) in/on/with royalty their and in/on/with goodness your [the] many which to give: give to/for them and in/on/with land: country/planet [the] broad: wide and [the] rich which to give: put to/for face: before their not to serve: minister you and not to return: repent from deed their [the] bad: evil

36 Sasa sisi ni watumwa katika nchi uliyowapa baba zetu kufurahia matunda yake na zawadi zake nzuri, na tazama, sisi ni watumwa!

behold we [the] day: today servant/slave and [the] land: country/planet which to give: give to/for father our to/for to eat [obj] fruit her and [obj] goodness her behold we servant/slave upon her

37 Mavuno mazuri kutoka nchi yetu huenda kwa wafalme uliowaweka juu yetu kwa sababu ya dhambi zetu. Watawala juu ya miili yetu na juu ya mifugo kama wanavyopenda. Tuna shida kubwa.

and produce her to multiply to/for king which to give: put upon us in/on/with sin our and upon body our to rule and in/on/with animal our like/as acceptance their and in/on/with distress great: large we

38 Kwa sababu ya yote haya, tunafanya agano thabiti kwa kuandika. Kwenye hati iliyofungwa ni majina ya wakuu wetu, Walawi, na makuhani.”

and in/on/with all this we to cut: make(covenant) sure and to write and upon [the] to seal ruler our Levi our priest our
