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.
Now after these things were done, the captains came to me and said, The people of Israel and the priests and Levites have not kept themselves separate from the people of the lands, but have taken part in the disgusting ways of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the 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.
For they have taken their daughters for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy seed has been mixed with the peoples of the lands; and in fact the captains and rulers have been the first to do this evil.
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.
And hearing this, with signs of grief and pulling out the hair of my head and my chin, I took my seat on the earth deeply troubled.
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 went in fear of the words of the God of Israel, because of the sin of those who had come back, came together to me; and I kept where I was, overcome with grief, till 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.
And at the evening offering, having made myself low before God, I got up, and with signs of grief, falling down on my knees, with my hands stretched out 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.
I said, O my God, shame keeps me from lifting up my face to you, my God: for our sins are increased higher than our heads and our evil-doing has come up to heaven.
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 till this day we have been great sinners; and for our sins, we and our kings and our priests have been given up into the hands of the kings of the lands, to the sword and to prison and to loss of goods and to shame of face, as it is 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.
And now for a little time grace has come to us from the Lord our God, to let a small band of us get free and to give us a nail in his holy place, so that our God may give light to our eyes and a measure of new life in our prison chains.
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.
For we are servants; but our God has not been turned away from us in our prison, but has had mercy on us before the eyes of the kings of Persia, to give us new strength to put up again the house of our God and to make fair its waste places, and to give us a wall 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, O our God, what are we to say after this? for we have not kept your laws,
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.
Which you gave to your servants the prophets, saying, The land into which you are going, to take it for a heritage, is an unclean land, because of the evil lives of the peoples of the land and their disgusting ways, which have made the land unclean 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.
So now do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons or do anything for their peace or well-being for ever; so that you may be strong, living on the good of the land, and handing it on to your children for a heritage for ever.
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.
And after everything which has come on us because of our evil-doing and our great sin, and seeing that the punishment which you, O God, have given us, is less than the measure of our sins, and that you have kept from death those of us who are here;
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.
Are we again to go against your orders, taking wives from among the people who do these disgusting things? would you not be angry with us till our destruction was complete, till there was not one who got away safe?
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, righteousness is yours; we are only a small band which has been kept from death, as at this day: see, we are before you in our sin; for no one may keep his place before you because of this.
