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 in the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, with sackcloth, and dirt on them.
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.
The offspring of Israel separated themselves from all foreigners 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.
They stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of the LORD their God a fourth part of the day; and a fourth part they confessed and worshiped 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.
Then Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani of the Levites stood up on the stairs, and 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.”
Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, “Stand up and bless the LORD your God from everlasting to everlasting! Blessed be your glorious name, which is exalted above 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.
You are the LORD, even you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their army, the earth and all things that are on it, the seas and all that is in them, and you preserve them all. The army of heaven worships you.
7 Kom, LEUM GOD, sulella Abram Ac pwanulla liki acn Ur in Babylonia. Kom ekulla inel nu ke Abraham.
You are the LORD, the God who chose Abram, brought him out of Ur of the Chaldees, gave him the name of Abraham,
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.
found his heart faithful before you, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite, and the Girgashite, to give it to his offspring, and have performed 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.
“You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heard their cry by 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 showed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, against all his servants, and against all the people of his land, for you knew that they dealt proudly against them, and made a name for yourself, as it is today.
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.
You divided the sea before them, so that they went through the middle of the sea on the dry land; and you cast their pursuers into the depths, as a stone into the mighty waters.
12 Kom pwanulos ke sie pukunyeng ke len, Ac ke fong kom tolak inkanek lalos ke e.
Moreover, in a pillar of cloud you led them by day; and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light in the way in which they should go.
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.
“You also came down on Mount Sinai, and spoke with them from heaven, and gave them right ordinances and true laws, good statutes and 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 made known to them your holy Sabbath, and commanded them commandments, statutes, and a law, by Moses your servant,
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 gave them bread from the sky for their hunger, and brought water out of the rock for them for their thirst, and commanded them that they should go in to possess the land which you had sworn to give 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, hardened their neck, 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 obey. They were not mindful of your wonders that you did among them, but hardened their neck, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage. But you are a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and 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!
Yes, when they had made themselves a molded calf, and said, ‘This is your God who brought you up out of Egypt,’ and had committed awful blasphemies,
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 manifold mercies did not forsake them in the wilderness. The pillar of cloud did not depart from over them by day, to lead them in the way; neither did the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way in which they should go.
20 Ke ngun wo lom, kom fahkang nu selos ma elos in oru. Kom kitalos manna, ac sang kof nimalos.
You gave also your good Spirit to instruct them, and did not withhold your manna from their mouth, and gave them water for their thirst.
21 Ke yac angngaul lalos in acn mwesis Kom sang enenu lalos nukewa: Nuknuk lalos tiana kulawi, Ac nialos tiana fafwak.
“Yes, forty years you sustained them in the wilderness. They lacked nothing. Their clothes did not grow old, and their feet did not swell.
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 peoples, which you allotted according to their portions. So they possessed the land of Sihon, even the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan.
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.
You also multiplied their children as the stars of the sky, and brought them into the land concerning which you said to their fathers that they should go in to possess it.
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.
“So the children went in and possessed the land; and you subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gave them into their hands, with their kings and the peoples of the land, that they might do with them as they pleased.
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.
They took fortified cities and a rich land, and possessed houses full of all good things, cisterns dug out, vineyards, olive groves, and fruit trees in abundance. So they ate, were filled, became fat, and delighted themselves 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,
“Nevertheless they were disobedient and rebelled against you, cast your law behind their back, killed your prophets that testified against them to turn them again to you, and they committed awful blasphemies.
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.
Therefore you delivered them into the hand of their adversaries, who distressed them. In the time of their trouble, when they cried to you, you heard from heaven; and according to your manifold mercies you gave them saviors who saved them out of the hands of their adversaries.
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 after they had rest, they did evil again before you; therefore you left them in the hands of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them; yet when they returned and cried to you, you heard from heaven; and many times you delivered them according to your mercies,
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 testified against them, that you might bring them again to your law. Yet they were arrogant, and did not listen to your commandments, but sinned against your ordinances (which if a man does, he shall live in them), turned their backs, stiffened their neck, and would not hear.
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 many years you put up with them, and testified against them by your Spirit through your prophets. Yet they would not listen. Therefore you gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.
31 Ne ouinge, ke sripen yokna pakoten lom Kom tiana siselosla ku kunauselosla. Kom sie God kulang ac pakoten!
“Nevertheless in your manifold mercies you did not make a full end of them, nor forsake them; for you are a gracious and merciful God.
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!
Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness, do not let all the travail seem little before you that has come on us, on our kings, on our princes, on our priests, on our prophets, on our fathers, and on all your people, since the time of the kings of Assyria to this day.
33 Fal na lah kom kalyei kut. Kom suwosna, kut ne oru ma koluk.
However you are just in all that has come on us; for you have dealt truly, but we have done wickedly.
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.
Also our kings, our princes, our priests, and our fathers have not kept your law, nor listened to your commandments and your testimonies with which you testified against 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.
For they have not served you in their kingdom, and in your great goodness that you gave them, and in the large and rich land which you gave before them. They did not turn from their wicked works.
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 today, and as for the land that you gave to our fathers to eat its fruit and its good, behold, we are servants in 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!”
It yields much increase to the kings whom you have set over us because of our sins. Also they have power over our bodies and over our livestock, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.
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.
Yet for all this, we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, our Levites, and our priests, seal it.”
