Nihemaia 9
1 Amo oubiga eso 24 amo Isala: ili dunu huluane da ilia wadela: i houba: le da: i dioi olelema: ne, ha: i mae nawane gilisi. Ilia da ga fi dunu amoga afafai dagoi. Ilia da wadela: i eboboi abula idiniginisi amola ilia da: i dioi olelema: ne, osobo gulu ilia dialuma da: iya legesu. Amalalu, ilia da wa: legadole, ilia wadela: i hou amola ilia aowalali ilia wadela: i hou hamoi fofada: i.
Now in the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, with sackcloth, and dirt on them.
The offspring of Israel separated themselves from all foreigners and stood and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers.
3 Amo eso ilia da biyaduyale momogili, momogi afae amoga ilia da ilia Hina Gode Ea Sema idibi nabalu. Amalalu, momogi afae eno ganodini ilia da ilia wadela: i hou fofada: nanu. Amola ilia da ilia Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu.
They stood up in their place, and read in the scroll of the Torah of the LORD their God a fourth part of the day; and a fourth part they confessed and worshiped the LORD their God.
4 Lifai dunu amoga leloma: ne, fafai gagui dialebe ba: i. Amoga Yesua, Ba: inai, Ga: demiele, Siebanaia, Banai, Sielibaia, Houda: ia, Siebanaia, amola Bedahaia, amoga lelebe ba: i. Ilia dunu huluane nabima: ne, Hina Godema sia: ne gadosu.
Then Yeshua, 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 Amalalu, Lifai dunu da dunu huluane Godema nodoma: ne sia: i. Amo Lifai dunu ilia dio da Yesua, Ga: demiele, Ba: inai, Hasiabena: ia, Sielibaia, Houda: ia, Siebanaia amola Bedahaia. Ilia da amane sia: i, “Wa: legadole, dilia Hina Godema mae fisili, eso huluane Ema nodonanoma. Dunu huluanedafa da Ea Dio gaguia gadole, nodonanumu da defea. Be E da Hadigidafaba: le, osobo bagade dunu ilia da Ema nodosu hamomu da defele hame ba: sa.”
Then the Levites, Yeshua, 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 Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu da Godema amane sia: ne gadoi, “Hina Gode! Di fawane da Godedafa. Di fawane da mu amola gasumuni amo ganodini diala amo hahamoi. Di da osobo bagade amola hano wayabo bagade hahamoi. Di da liligi huluane amoma esalusu i dagoi. Hebene soge ganodini, gasa bagade fi da Dima beguduli, nodone sia: ne gadosa.
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 Di, Hina Gode, da A: ibala: me ilegei. E da ea moilai Ba: bilone soge amo ganodini esalu. Be Di da e gadili oule asili, ea dio afadenene, A:ibalaha: me dio asuli.
You are the LORD, the God who chose Abram, brought him out of Ur-Kasdim, gave him the name of Abraham,
8 Dia ba: loba A: ibalaha: me da Dima dafawaneyale dawa: su dunu ba: i. Di da soge ema imunu sia: i. Amo da Ga: ina: ne dunu, Hidaide dunu, A:moulaide dunu, Belesaide dunu, Yebiusaide dunu amola Gegasiaide dunu, amo dunu ilia soge gagui huluane, A:ibalaha: me egaga fi amo ganodini esaloma: ne, ema imunu sia: i. Amola dia imunu sia: i, hamoi dagoi ba: i. Bai Di da mae fisili didili hamosa.
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 Ninia aowalali ilia se nabasu Idibidi soge ganodini, amo Di da ba: i dagoi. Amola ilia Maga: me Hano degemusa: fidima: ne wele sia: i, amo Di da nabi dagoi.
“You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heard their cry by the Sea of Suf,
10 Di da Idibidi hina bagade, ea fidisu dunu amola ea fi dunu, ilia Dia Isala: ili fi banenesiba: le, amo hou hedofamusa: , gasa bagade musa: hame ba: su dawa: digima: ne olelesu hou hamoi dagoi. Di da Dia fi dunu ilia dio gaguia gadoi, amola Dia Dio da wali eso, gadodafa ba: sa.
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 Di da Dia fi degemusa: , hano wayabo bagade mogili, Dia dunu da hano hafoga: i logoga hahawane asi. Ili medole legemusa: fa: no bobogei dunu da hanoga na dagoi ba: i. Hano gafului amoga igi gela dasu defele, ilia da hanoga gela sa: i dagoi.
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 Di da mu mobi agoai mogomogoi amoga esoga ili bisili oule asi. Amola gasi ganodini, Di da lalu sawa: amoga ilia logo hadigisu.
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 Sainai Goumia, Di da Hebene fisili, ilima sia: musa: gudu sa: i. Di da sema noga: iwane amola olelesu noga: i, ilima i.
“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 Di da, ilia da Dia Sa: bade eso huluane noga: le ouligima: ne, sia: i. Amola, ilima alofele ima: ne, Dia da Dia hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese ema Dia Sema i.
and made known to them your holy Sabbath, and commanded them commandments, statutes, and a law, by Moses your servant,
15 Ilia ha: iba: le, Dia da Hebene soge amoga ha: i manu i, amola ilia hano hanaiba: le, hano dili moma: ne, igi amoga hano dili i. Di da soge amo ilima imunu sia: i, ilia da amo lale, noga: le ouligima: ne sia: i.
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 Be ninia aowalali da gasa fiwane heda: le, hame nabasu hou hamosu. Ilia da Dia sia: i nabimu higasu.
“But they and our fathers behaved proudly, hardened their neck, didn’t listen to your commandments,
17 Ilia da hame nabasu. Ilia da Dia gasa bagade fidisu hou gogolei dagoi. Ilia gasa fi hamobeba: le, ilisu da hina dunu amo Idibidi sogega se dabe hawa: hamomusa: gini, ili bisili oule masa: ne ilegei dagoi. Be Di da gogolema: ne olofosu bagade dawa: Di da haha bagade, asigidafa amola hedolo hame ougisa. Amaiba: le, Di da ninia aowalali hame yolesi.
and refused to obey. They weren’t 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 didn’t forsake them.
18 Ilia da ogogosu ‘gode’ agoaila liligi gouliga hamoi. Ilia giadofale amo ogogosu ‘gode’ da ili bisili, Idibidi sogega fisili gadili oule asi dagoi, sia: i. Hina Gode! Ilia da Dia dio wadela: lesi dagoi.
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 Be Di da amo dunu wadela: i hafoga: i soge ganodini hame yolesi. Bai Dia hou da asigidafa. Di da mu mobi agoai mogomogoi amola lalu sawa: amola amo liligi hame samogei. Eso amola gasi ganodini, Di da logo ilima noga: le olelesu.
yet you in your manifold mercies didn’t forsake them in the wilderness. The pillar of cloud didn’t 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 Dia hahawane hou amoga, di da ilima agoane hamoma: ne adoi. Di da ilima “ma: na” ha: i manu amola hano moma: ne iasu.
You gave also your good Spirit to instruct them, and didn’t withhold your manna from their mouth, and gave them water for their thirst.
21 Ode 40 amoga ilia da wadela: i hafoga: i soge amo ganodini esaloba, Di da ilia hanai liligi defele fidi. Ilia abula da hamedafa abubula ahoasu, amola ilia emo da hame se nabasu amola hame fofasu.
“Yes, forty years you sustained them in the wilderness. They lacked nothing. Their clothes didn’t grow old, and their feet didn’t swell.
22 Dia da logo doasiba: le, ilia da dunu fi bagade amo hasalasi. Ilia Hesiabone soge fi (ilia hina bagade da Saihone galu) amola Ba: isia: ne soge fi (ilia hina bagade da Oge galu) amo hasasali.
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 Di da ilima mano amo ilia idi da gasumuni mu amo ganodini aligi ilia idi defele ba: i, amo ilima i. Dia fidibiba: le, ilia da soge amo Di da ilia aowalali ilima imunu ilegele sia: i, amo ilia da hasalali, ganodini gesowale fi.
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 Ilia da Ga: ina: ne soge fi ili amo hasasali. Di da ilima gasa iabeba: le, ilia da ilia hanaiga, Ga: ina: ne dunu amola ilia hina bagade amoga hamosu.
“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 Hina Gode! Dia fi dunu da gasa bagade gagili sali moilai amo lai dagoi. Ilia da osobo noga: idafa, diasu amo ganodini liligi noga: idafa ba: i, hano uli dogoi, olife ifa, ha: i manu ifa amola waini sagai amo bagohame lai. Ilia da ilia hanaiga ha: i nanu, ilia da: i da bagade alele, Dia iasu liligi noga: idafa ilia da hahawane lai.
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 Be Dia fi da sinidigili, Dia sia: hame nabasu. Ilia da Dia sema amo baligifa: su. Ilia da ilima sisasu olelesu dunu (balofede dunu) amo da ilia Dima sinidigili bu fa: no bobogema: ne sia: i, amo ilia da medole legesu. Eso bagohame amoga ilia da Dia Dio wadela: lesi.
“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 Amaiba: le, ilima ha lai da ilima hasalasima: ne, Di da logo doasi dagoi. Amogawi, ilia da se bagade nababeba: le, Dima fidima: ne wele sia: su. Dia da asigiba: le, ouligisu dunu ilima asunasi. Amo ouligisu dunu ilia da Dia fi ilima ha lai dunu ilima gaga: i dagoi.
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 Be olofosu da bu doaga: loba, ilia da bu eno wadela: le hamoi. Amalalu, Di da ilima ha lai dunu amo ilima hasalasima: ne, Di da logo bu doasi. Be ilia da bu Gode Dima sinidigiloba, Di da Hebene ganodini ilia wele sia: su nabalu, Di da bagadewane asigiba: le, eso bagohame amoga Dia fi dunu bu gaga: i.
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 Ilia da Dia olelesu amoma noga: le fa: no bobogema: ne, Di da ilima sisasu olelei. Dia sema amo da esalusu logo olelesa. Be ilia da gasa fili, Dia Sema hamedafa nabasu.
and testified against them, that you might bring them again to your law. Yet they were arrogant, and didn’t 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 Ode bagohame, Di da ili sinidigima: ne gebewane sia: su, amola Dia balofede dunu ilima sia: ma: ne asunasisu. Be ilia da ge ga: i agoai galusu. Amaiba: le, Di da eno fi ilima hasalimusa: yolesi.
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 Be Dia asigidafa hou da bagadedafa. Amaiba: le, Di da amo dunu hame yolesi, amola hame wadela: lesi. Di da hahawane amola Asigidafa hou ea bai esala.
“Nevertheless in your manifold mercies you didn’t make a full end of them, nor forsake them; for you are a gracious and merciful God.
32 “Gode! Ninia Gode! Di da gasa bagadedafa! Dia gasa bagade hou ba: beba: le, dunu huluane da Diba: le beda: be. Di da mae fisili, Dia Gousa: su hou defele hamonana. Asilia hina bagade da ninima hasalasili, amo ganini waha, amo eso huluane amoga ninia da se bagade nabasu. Ninia ouligisu hina dunu, ouligisu dunu, gobele salasu dunu, balofede dunu amola dunu huluane da se nabawane hahanisu. Amo Di mae gogolema.
Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness, don’t 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 Di da ninima se dabe iasu da moloidafa. Ninia da wadela: i hou bagade hamosu. Be Dia moloidafa hou, Di da hame yolesi.
However you are just in all that has come on us; for you have dealt truly, but we have done wickedly.
34 Ninia aowalali, hina bagade, fi ouligisu dunu amola gobele salasu dunu, amo da Dia sema amoma hame fa: no bobogesu. Ilia da Dia hamoma: ne sia: i amola Dia sisasu hamedafa nabasu.
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 Dia da hahawane fidibiba: le, Di da Dia fi dunuma soge bagade noga: idafa ilima i. Amola ilia da amo ganodini hahawane esalu. Amola, hina bagade da ili ouligisu. Be ilia da wadela: i hou fisili, Dima hawa: hamomu, amo hame hamosu.
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 didn’t turn from their wicked works.
36 Amaiba: le, ninia da wali udigili se dabe hawa: hamosu dunu agoai, soge Di da musa: ninima i, amola amoga ninia ha: i manu faisa, amo soge ganodini esala.
“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 Ninia da wadela: le hamoiba: le, eno fi hina bagade da nini ouligima: ne, Di da logo doasi. Wali ninia soge ganodini ha: i manu heda: le legeiya, huluane da ilima fawane iaha. Amola amo hina bagade da ilia hanaiga ninima amola ninia ohe ilima hamosa. Ninia da se bagade naba.”
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 “Amo hou huluane da doaga: beba: le, ninia, Isala: ili dunu huluane, da amo sia: dedei hahamosa. Ninia ouligisu dunu, Lifai dunu amola gobele salasu dunu, amo da ilia dio dedene, amo sia: gobele salasu legei amoga ilegesa.”
Yet for all this, we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, our Levites, and our priests, seal it.”
