Esela 9
1 Amalalu, Isala: ili fi ouligisu dunu mogili da nama sia: na misini, gobele salasu dunu amola Lifai dunu da dunu fi ilima na: iyado soge amo A: mone, Moua: be, Idibidi, Ga: ina: ne dunu, Hidaide dunu, Belisaide dunu, Yebiusaide dunu amola A: moulaide dunu ilima hame afafasu ilia sia: i. Ilia da amo dunu ilia wadela: idafa hou hamosu amoma fa: no bobogei dagoi.
After these things had been accomplished, the leaders approached me and said, “The people of Israel, including the priests and Levites, have not kept themselves separate from the surrounding peoples whose abominations are like those of the Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians, and Amorites.
2 Yu dunu da ga fi uda labeba: le, Gode Ea hadigi fi dunu da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: i. Be Yu ouligisu dunu amola ouligisu hina dunu, ilia amola da ga fi uda laiba: le, ilia da amo wadela: i hou amo ganodini baligili wadela: i hamosu dunu agoai ba: i.
Indeed, the Israelites have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and their sons, so that the holy seed has been mixed with the people of the land. And the leaders and officials have taken the lead in this unfaithfulness!”
3 Na da amo sia: nababeba: le, se bagade nabi. Na abula gadelale, na dialuma hinabo amola mayabo mogili golole fasili, da: i dioi bagadewane esalu.
When I heard this report, I tore my tunic and cloak, pulled out some hair from my head and beard, and sat down in horror.
4 Na da amanewane da: i dione esaloba, daeya galu Godema gobele salasu da doaga: i. Amalalu, dunu da na esaloba, na guba: le sisiga: le aligi. Ilia da Isala: ili Godema bagade beda: i. Bai Gode da mugululi asi buhagi dunu ilia wadela: i hou ba: i dagoi, amola Ea sia: ilia da nabi.
Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel gathered around me because of the unfaithfulness of the exiles, while I sat there in horror until the evening offering.
5 Daeya gobele salasu hou da doaga: loba, na da ni musa: udigili esalua amoga da: i dione esalu, amoga wa: legadole, amola na abula gadelai ga: i amola na da muguni bugili, na Hina Godema lobo ligia gadole, Ema sia: ne gadoi.
At the evening offering, I got up from my humiliation with my tunic and cloak torn, and I fell on my knees, spread out my hands to the LORD my God,
6 Na da amane sia: i, “Na Gode! Na da bagadewane gogosia: iba: le, Dia hadigi amoma na dialuma molole gadomu hamedei agoane ba: sa. Ninia wadela: i hou da bagadedafa, fedege agoane bi hamone ninia dialuma baligili muagado heda: sa.
and said: “O my God, I am ashamed and embarrassed to lift up my face to You, my God, because our iniquities are higher than our heads, and our guilt has reached the heavens.
7 Musa: aowalali ilia fifi mana, wali wadela: i hou bu baligili bagadedafa ninia hamonana. Ninia wadela: i houba: le, ninia hina bagade dunu amola ninia gobele salasu dunu da ga fi hina bagade ilia baiga dafai dagoi. Ga fi dunu da ninia fi dunu medole legele, ilia liligi wamolai amola mogili udigili hawa: hamomusa: mugululi oule asi. Ninia wadela: i hou hamoiba: le, bagadewane gogosiasu, amola waha da amomane diala. Ninia Hina Gode!
From the days of our fathers to this day, our guilt has been great. Because of our iniquities, we and our kings and priests have been delivered into the hands of the kings of the earth and put to the sword and captivity, to pillage and humiliation, as we are this day.
8 Waha, eso fonobahadi amoga, Di da ninima asigiba: le, ninia se iasu diasuga fisili masa: ne gadili asunasi, wali ninia da Dia hadigidafa soge amoga gaga: iwane esala. Di da wali ninima hadigi ganodini udigili lalusu amola gaheabolo esalusu ninima i dagoi.
But now, for a brief moment, grace has come from the LORD our God to preserve for us a remnant and to give us a stake in His holy place. Even in our bondage, our God has given us new life and light to our eyes.
9 Nini da udigili se iasu diasua esalebe hawa: hamosu dunu agoai galu, be di da nini se iasu diasua esalebe hawa: hamoma: ne hame yolesi. Di da Besia hina bagade dunu ilia asigi dawa: su olelebeba: le, ilia da ninima asigisu. Ilia da nini hame fane legei. Be ninia da Dia Debolo musa: wadela: lesi dagoi, amo bu gagumusa: amola ninia Yuda soge amola Yelusaleme amo ganodini gaga: iwane esaloma: ne, ilia da logo doasi dagoi.
Though we are slaves, our God has not forsaken us in our bondage, but He has extended to us grace in the sight of the kings of Persia, giving us new life to rebuild the house of our God and repair its ruins, and giving us a wall of protection in Judah and Jerusalem.
10 Be wali, Na Gode! Amo hou da doaga: beba: le, ninia da adi sia: ma: bela: ? Ninia da Dia sema amola hamoma: ne sia: i bu hame nabasu.
And now, our God, what can we say after this? For we have forsaken the commandments
11 Di da ilima olelebeba: le, Dia hawa: hamosu dunu amo balofede dunu, da amo sema amola hamoma: ne sia: i ninima olelei. Ilia da ninima adoi amane, soge amo ninia da gesowale fimu da ledo bagade soge. Ga: ina: ne dunu fi amo ganodini da wadela: i hou bagade hamobeba: le, soge huluanedafa da ledo bagade ba: i.
that You gave through Your servants the prophets, saying: ‘The land that you are entering to possess is a land polluted by the impurity of its peoples and the abominations with which they have filled it from end to end.
12 Ilia da ninima amane sia: i, ‘Dilia da amo soge ganodini hahawane esalumusa: dawa: sea, amola amo ganodini diligaga fi da eso huluane hahawane esaloma: ne ilima imunusa: dawa: sea, dilia amo soge fi ilia uda maedafa lama, amola ilia muni labe hou amola hou huluanedafa mae fidima,’ balofede dunu da amane sia: i.
Now, therefore, do not give your daughters in marriage to their sons or take their daughters for your sons. Never seek their peace or prosperity, so that you may be strong and may eat the good things of the land, leaving it as an inheritance to your sons forever.’
13 Ninia da wadela: i hou bagade hamobeba: le, se dabe iasu bagade lai. Be ninia Gode, ninia dawa: Di da nini hame fane legei, amola ninia wadela: i hou se dabe iasu defele ninima hame i.
After all that has come upon us because of our evil deeds and our great guilt (though You, our God, have punished us less than our iniquities deserve and have given us such a remnant as this),
14 Amaiba: le, ninia da abuliba: le da Dia hamoma: ne sia: i bu mae nabawane, amo wadela: i fi ilia uda lama: bela: ? Agoane hamosea, Dia ougi da heda: sea, nini huluane wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Dunu afadafa esalebe hamedafa ba: mu.
shall we again break Your commandments and intermarry with the peoples who commit these abominations? Would You not become so angry with us as to wipe us out, leaving no remnant or survivor?
15 Isala: ili Hina Gode! Di da moloidafa fofada: su dunu! Di da nini bogoma: ne hame fane legei! Ninia wadela: i hou Dima fofada: ne iaha! Ninia da Dia hadigi amoga misunu da ninima hamedei liligi agoai,” Esela da amane sia: ne gadoi.
O LORD, God of Israel, You are righteous! For we remain this day as a remnant. Here we are before You in our guilt, though because of it no one can stand before You.”
