Ezra 9
1 Hicheho jousehi akitoh chaisoh kei phat’in Juda lamkai hochu kakomah ahungun, hiti hin asei taovin ahi: “Israel mipi ho chuleh thempu holeh Levite phabep ho jeng jong hiche gamsunga cheng mipiho a konin athongdoh joupouvin ahi. Amahon Canan mite, Hit mite, Periz mite, Jebus mite, Ammon mite, Moab mite, Egypt mite leh Amor mite chonna kidah umtah ho abol taovin ahi.
When as these things were done, the rulers came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the Priestes, and the Leuites are not separated from the people of the lands (as touching their abominations) to wit, of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Iebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.
2 Ajeh chu Israel miten hiche mite numei hochu akichenpiu vin chuleh amahoa kon hin achate diuvin ji apui peh un ahi. Hijeh chun hiche kichenna a kilah toh'in namtheng hi asuboh tan ahi. Hiche chungchonna akhoh cheh khat chu lamkai holeh vaihom ho jengin jong hiche thildihlou tah kibol hi alamkai taovin ahi,” atiuvin ahi.
For they haue taken their daughters to theselues, and to their sonnes, and they haue mixed the holy seede with the people of the landes, and the hande of the princes and rulers hath bene chiefe in this trespasse.
3 Hiche thuhi kajahdoh phat’in, kasangkhol kaponsil kabottel jengin, kalujang’a kon’in kasam katan lhan kabengmul jong kabotchaiyin, lungthim tongkhatah in katou lhajeng tan ahi.
But when I heard this saying, I rent my clothes and my garment, and pluckt off the heare of mine head, and of my beard, and sate downe astonied.
4 Sohchang’a hung kile hon hitobang thil dihloutah pihi ahin tohdoh jeng phat’un, Israel Pathen thusei kichatna neiho chengchu ahungun, eihung toupi taovin ahi. Hiti chun keima jong nilhah teng kilhaina phat ahunglhun tokahsen lungthim natah in thipbeh in katou jingin ahi.
And there assembled vnto me all that feared the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of them of the captiuitie. And I sate downe astonied vntil the euening sacrifice.
5 Kilhaina phat ahung lhunphat in von kibottel pumleh lungkham puma katouna a konin kahung dingdoh jengin, kadilsun ka Pathen langa chun kakhut kadom sangin,
And at the euening sacrifice I arose vp from mine heauinesse, and when I had rent my clothes and my garment, I fell vpon my knees, and spred out mine hands vnto the Lord my God,
6 Keima kataovin, “O ka Pathen keima jachat nan kadimtai, namai lang hin ngat ding jong kajah achatai. Ajeh chu kachonset naohi kaluchangu sangin asang jotai chuleh kathepmo naohin van ahin phatai.
And said, O my God, I am confounded and ashamed, to lift vp mine eyes vnto thee my God: for our iniquities are increased ouer our head, and our trespasse is growen vp vnto the heauen.
7 Kapu appa teuva pat’in tuni changeijin hiche chonsetna hin kaki phumlut jengun ahi. Hiche jeh chun keiho kahiuvin, kaleng teu ahin, chuleh kathemputeu ahin hiche gamsunga hou neilou te lengho thaneina a kalhalut ji taovin ahi. Hitia chu eina thagam jiuva, gal hinga eina mat jiuva, eichom gam jiuva tunia kadin mun banguva hi jumle jachat thoh'a kaum jitan ahi.
From the dayes of our fathers haue we bin in a great trespasse vnto this day, and for our iniquities haue we, our Kings, and our Priestes bene deliuered into the hand of the kings of the lands, vnto the sword, into captiuitie, into a spoyle, and into confusion of face, as appeareth this day.
8 Tuhin phat chomkhat sunghin khotona kachangun, ajeh chu Pakai ka Pathenun mi phabep khat eihinghoi sah taovin ahi. Aman hiche muntheng ahin eivengbit’un ahi. Hitihin Pathen in eihin mit hadohsah un, kasoh channauva kon hin phat chomkhat hi hailhung jouna eihin musah taovin ahi.
And now for a litle space grace hath bene shewed from the Lord our God, in causing a remnant to escape, and in giuing vs a nayle in his holy place, that our God may light our eyes, and giue vs a litle reuiuing in our seruitude.
9 Ajeh chu keiho sohchang kana hiuvin, ka Pathenun amingailutna akhonna beichun hiche kasoh channaova konhin eidalha den pouvin ahi. Hiche jeh chun, Persia lengpa chu khotona neitah in kachung’uvah na atohsah in ahi. Aman eihin kiledoh sah un ka Pathennu Houin hi eisem phat sah un, amangthahsa chu eisemphat sah taovin ahi. Aman Judah leh Jerusalem’ah lung mongin eichensah taovin ahi,” ati.
For though we were bondmen, yet our God hath not forsaken vs in our bondage, but hath enclined mercy vnto vs in the sight of the Kings of Persia, to giue vs life, and to erect the house of our God, and to redresse the places thereof, and to giue vs a wall in Iudah and in Ierusalem.
10 Chuleh tun, “Vo ka Pathennu hichan neiphahsah jouvu nungsang’a hi epi kaseithei nahlai diuham? Ven avelin keihon nathupeh chu kapaidoh taovin ahi.
And nowe, our God, what shall we say after this? for we haue forsaken thy commandements,
11 Nasohte themgao hochun gihna thucheng hitihin eina seipeh un ahi, “Nanghon nachenpha nao gamsung hi, asunga ana cheng hon kidah umtah le thet umtah jeng chonna hoa apumpia ana suhboh sao ahi. Agam hi among langkhatna pat among langkhat geija thenlou na a dimset ahi,” atiuvin ahi.
Which thou hast commanded by thy seruants the Prophets, saying, The land whereunto ye go to possesse it, is an vncleane land, because of the filthines of the people of the lands, which by their abominations, and by their vncleannes haue filled it from corner to corner.
12 “Achateu chu nachanu teutoh kichensah hih un! Achanu teujong nachapateu jidingin pui-peh hih un. Hiche gam mite khantouna diuleh alungmonna diuvin jong tilkhou hih uvin. Nanghon hiche thuhil hi najui uleh nahung hatdoh diu chuleh hiche gam’in ahin sepdoh gapha hochu naphat chompi diu ahi,” ati
Now therfore shall ye not giue your daughters vnto their sonnes, neither shall ye take their daughters vnto your sonnes, nor seeke their peace nor wealth for euer, that yee may be strong and eate the goodnes of the lande, and leaue it for an inheritance to your sonnes for euer.
13 “Tun keihohi kachonsetnao leh kabolkhel naojeh a gotna chang kahiuvin ahi. Ahinlah kachonset jeh uva kachan diuva lom sanga nemjon gotna neipeuvin, ka Pathennu nangman miphabep pihi eighing hoijun neihin kiledoh sah kit taovin ahi.
And after all that is come vpon vs for our euill deedes, and for our great trespasses, (seeing that thou our God hast stayed vs from being beneath for our iniquities, and hast giuen vs such deliuerance)
14 Ahinlah tujengin jong keihon nathupeh hi kasukeh kit taovin, kidah umtah'a hinkho mang hotoh kichentona kanei taovin ahi. Ven nalunghan nahin eisuhmang uva khat jengcha jong hinghoi louhella neisuh gam jeng thei diudol ahi.
Should we returne to breake thy commadements, and ioyne in affinitie with the people of such abominations? wouldest not thou be angrie towarde vs till thou haddest consumed vs, so that there should be no remnant nor any escaping?
15 Oh Israel Pakai Pathen, nanghi mi kitah nahi. Na-ang sung’ah kathemmo nao pumin kahunglut ui, hiche themmona jeh a hi keiho koimacha jong na angsunga hunglut ngamlou kahiu ahitai,” ati.
O Lord God of Israel, thou art iust, for we haue bene reserued to escape, as appeareth this day: beholde, we are before thee in our trespasse: therfore we canot stand before thee because of it.
