Ezra 9
1 And when these things were finished, the princes drew near to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands in their abominations, [even] the Chananite, the Ethite, the Pherezite, the Jebusite, the Ammonite, the Moabite, and the Moserite and the Amorite.
Te rhoek te a coeng phoeiah tah kai taengla mangpa rhoek ha mop uh tih, “Israel pilnam khaw, khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek khaw khohmuen pilnam taeng lamloh hoep uh boel saeh a? Amih te Kanaan, Khitti, Perizzi, Jebusi, Ammoni, Moab, Egypt neh Amori bangla tueilaehkoi neh omuh.
2 For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and their sons; and the holy seed has passed among the nations of the lands, and the hand of the rulers [has been] first in this transgression.
Amih nu te amamih ham neh a ca ham khaw a loh uh. Cangtii cae he khohmuen pilnam neh pitpom uh coeng. Te dongah mangpa kut neh ukkung rhoek he boekoeknah neh lamhma la om,” a ti nah.
3 And when I heard this thing, I rent my garments, and trembled, and plucked [some] of the hairs of my head and of my beard, and sat down mourning.
He ol he ka yaak vaengah ka himbai neh ka hnikul te ka phen. Ka lu sam neh ka hmuimul te ka poelh tih dingrhak la ka ngol.
4 Then there assembled to me all that followed the word of the God of Israel, on account of the transgression of the captivity; and I remained mourning until the evening sacrifice.
Vangsawn kah boekoeknah dongah ni ka kaepvai khaw Israel Pathen ol bangla a thuen neh boeih tingtun uh. Kai khaw hlaemhmah khocang hil dingrhak ka ngol.
5 And at the evening sacrifice I rose up from my humiliation; and when I had rent my garments, then I trembled, and I bow myself on my knees, and spread out my hands to the Lord God,
Hlaem khocang vaengah tah ka komawtnah lamloh, ka himbai neh ka hnikul a pawnsoem la ka thoo. Ka khuklu dongah ka cungkueng tih ka Pathen BOEIPA taengah kut ka phuel.
6 and I said, O Lord, I am ashamed and confounded, O my God, to lift up my face to thee: for our transgressions have abounded over our head, and our trespasses have increased even to heaven.
Te vaengah, “Ka Pathen yak coeng tih ka maelhmai he ka Pathen nang taengah ka mik huel ham khaw ka hmaithae. Kaimih kathaesainah loh ka lu so la poe hang tih kaimih kah dumlai loh vaan duela a puet.
7 From the days of our fathers we have been in a great trespass until this day: and because of our iniquities we, and our kings, and our children, have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the Gentiles by the sword, and by captivity, and by spoil, and with shame of our face, as at this day.
A pa rhoek tue lamloh tahae khohnin duela kaimih he lai puei neh ka omuh. Kaimih thaesainah loh kamamih khaw, ka manghai rhoek khaw, ka khosoih rhoek khaw khohmuen manghai rhoek kut dongah, cunghang dongah, tamna la, kutbuem la, tahae khohnin kah bangla maelhmai yahpohnah dongla m'voeih.
8 And now our God has dealt mercifully with us, so as to leave us to escape, and to give us an establishment in the place of his sanctuary, to enlighten our eyes, and to give a little quickening in our servitude.
Tedae kaimih rhalyong aka sueng ham kaimih Pathen BOEIPA taeng lamkah lungmacil tah mikhaptok ca kah ham khaw om coeng. Te te kaimih ham a hmuencim hmuen ah hlingcong aka pae ham ni. Kaimih kah Pathen tah kaimih mik aka sae sak neh kaimih pinyennah khuiah kaimih hinglu hlawtnah bet aka pae la om.
9 For we are slaves, yet in our servitude the Lord our God has not deserted us; and he has extended favour to us in the sight of the kings of the Persians, to give us a quickening, that they should raise up the house of our God, and restore the desolate places of it, and to give us a fence in Juda and Jerusalem.
Mamih he sal la om sitoe cakhaw kaimih kah pinyennah khuiah kaimih kah Pathen loh kaimih n'hnoo moenih. Mamih taengah Persia manghai mikhmuh ah kaimih he hinglu hlawtnah paek ham, kaimih kah Pathen im pomsang ham, a imrhong thoh ham, Judah khui neh Jerusalem kah vongtung te kaimih taengah paek ham sitlohnah a tueng sak.
10 What shall we say, our God, after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments,
“Na olpaek ka hnawt uh dongah he hnukah kaimih kah Pathen te metlam n'thui pueng eh?
11 which thou hast given us by the hand of thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, into which ye go to inherit it, is a land subject to disturbance by the removal of the people of the nations for their abominations, wherewith they have filled it from one end to the other by their uncleanness.
Na sal tonghma kut ah na uen tih, “Pang hamla na kun thil khohmuen te khohmuen rhalawt, khohmuen pilnam khaw a tueilaehkoi la pumom neh baetawt, a ka a ka ah a tihnai neh om.
12 And now give not your daughters to their sons, and take not of their daughters for your sons, neither shall ye seek their peace or their good for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and transmit it as an inheritance to your children for ever.
Te dongah na canu rhoek te amih koca rhoek taengah pae uh boeh. Amih nu rhoek te na ca rhoek ham loh pah boeh. Amih sadingnah neh a hnothen khaw kumhal duela toem uh boeh. Na tlung tih khohmuen a thennah te na caak mai akhaw, kumhal duela na ca rhoek taengah na phaeng ham akhaw.
13 And after all that is come upon us because of our evil deeds, and our great trespass, [it is clear] that there is none such as our God, for thou has lightly visited our iniquities, and given us deliverance;
Kaimih kah boethae khoboe dongah, kaimih kah lai puei dongah ni kaimih taengah boeih a thoeng. Tedae kaimih kah Pathen namah loh kaimih kathaesainah lakah a toem la nan hoeptlang dongah tahae kah bangla kaimih taengah loeihnah nan paek.
14 whereas we have repeatedly broken thy commandments, and intermarried with the people of the lands: be not very angry with us to [our] utter destruction, so that there should be no remnant or escaping one.
Na olpaek phae tih pilnam tueilaehkoi nen he masae cava nah ham ka mael uh aya? A meet neh rhalyong a tal hil khah hamla kaimih taengah na thintoek pawt nim?
15 O Lord God of Israel, thou [art] righteous; for we remain [yet] escaped, as at this day: behold, we [are] before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee on this account.
Israel Pathen BOEIPA tah na dueng pai tih tahae khohnin kah bangla loeihnah neh ka sueng uh. Kaimih he namah mikhmuh ah kakaimih kah dumlai neh ka omuh. He dongah na mikhmuh ah ka pai ngoeng pawh,” a ti.
