< Ezra 9 >
1 Then, after these things were completed, the leaders came to me, saying: “The people of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, have not been separated from the peoples of the lands and from their abominations, especially those of the Canaanites, and Hittites, and Perizzites, and Jebusites, and Ammonites, and Moabites, and Egyptians, and Amorites.
and like/as to end: finish these to approach: approach to(wards) me [the] ruler to/for to say not to separate [the] people Israel and [the] priest and [the] Levi from people [the] land: country/planet like/as abomination their to/for Canaanite [the] Hittite [the] Perizzite [the] Jebusite [the] Ammon [the] Moabite [the] Egyptian and [the] Amorite
2 For they have taken from their daughters for themselves and for their sons, and they have mixed a holy lineage with the peoples of the lands. And even the hand of the leaders and the magistrates has been first in this transgression.”
for to lift: marry from daughter their to/for them and to/for son: child their and to pledge seed: children [the] holiness in/on/with people [the] land: country/planet and hand: power [the] ruler and [the] ruler to be in/on/with unfaithfulness [the] this first: chief
3 And when I had heard this word, I tore my cloak and my tunic, and I pulled out the hairs of my head and beard, and I sat in mourning.
and like/as to hear: hear I [obj] [the] word: thing [the] this to tear [obj] garment my and robe my and to smooth [emph?] from hair head my and beard my and to dwell [emph?] be desolate: appalled
4 Then all those who feared the word of the God of Israel gathered to me, because of the transgression of those who had arrived from the captivity. And I sat in sorrow, until the evening sacrifice.
and to(wards) me to gather all trembling in/on/with word God Israel upon unfaithfulness [the] captivity and I to dwell be desolate: appalled till to/for offering [the] evening
5 And at the evening sacrifice, I rose up from my affliction, and, having torn my cloak and my tunic, I fell to my knees, and I reached out my hands to the Lord, my God.
and in/on/with offering [the] evening to arise: rise from fasting my and in/on/with to tear I garment my and robe my and to bow [emph?] upon knee my and to spread [emph?] palm my to(wards) LORD God my
6 And I said: “My God, I am confounded and ashamed to lift up my face to you. For our iniquities have been multiplied over our heads, and our offenses have increased, even up to heaven,
and to say [emph?] God my be ashamed and be humiliated to/for to exalt God my face my to(wards) you for iniquity: crime our to multiply to/for above [to] head and guiltiness our to magnify till to/for heaven
7 from the days of our fathers. But also, we ourselves have sinned gravely, even to this day. And for our iniquities, we ourselves, and our kings and our priests, have been delivered into the hands of the kings of the lands, and to the sword, and to captivity, and to plunder, and to confusion of face, just as it is also in this day.
from day father our we in/on/with guiltiness great: large till [the] day: daily [the] this and in/on/with iniquity: crime our to give: give we king our priest our in/on/with hand: power king [the] land: country/planet in/on/with sword in/on/with captivity and in/on/with plunder and in/on/with shame face of like/as [the] day: today [the] this
8 And now, to a small extent and for a moment, our petition has been made with the Lord our God, so that they may leave us a remnant, and so that a secure place in his holy land may be given to us, and so that our God may illuminate our eyes, and may give us a little life in our servitude.
and now like/as little moment to be supplication from with LORD God our to/for to remain to/for us survivor and to/for to give: give to/for us peg in/on/with place holiness his to/for to light eye our God our and to/for to give: give us recovery little in/on/with slavery our
9 For we are servants, yet in our servitude our God has not forsaken us, but he has inclined mercy upon us in the sight of the king of the Persians, so that he may give us life, and may raise up the house of our God, and repair its desolations, and give us a hedge in Judah and Jerusalem.
for servant/slave we and in/on/with slavery our not to leave: forsake us God our and to stretch upon us kindness to/for face: before king Persia to/for to give: give to/for us recovery to/for to exalt [obj] house: temple God our and to/for to stand: rise [obj] desolation his and to/for to give: give to/for us wall in/on/with Judea and in/on/with Jerusalem
10 And now, our God, what should we say after these things? For we abandoned your commandments,
and now what? to say God our after this for to leave: forsake commandment your
11 which you instructed by the hand of your servants, the prophets, saying: ‘The land, which you shall enter so that you may possess it, is an unclean land, due to the uncleanness of the peoples and of the other lands, the abominations of those who have filled it, from mouth to mouth, with their filth.’
which to command in/on/with hand: by servant/slave your [the] prophet to/for to say [the] land: country/planet which you(m. p.) to come (in): come to/for to possess: take her land: country/planet impurity he/she/it in/on/with impurity people [the] land: country/planet in/on/with abomination their which to fill her from lip: edge to(wards) lip: edge in/on/with uncleanness their
12 Now therefore, you should not give your daughters to their sons, nor should you receive their daughters for your sons. And you should not seek their peace, nor their prosperity, even forever. So shall you be strengthened, and so shall you eat the good things of the land, and have your sons as your heirs, even for all time.
and now daughter your not to give: give(marriage) to/for son: child their and daughter their not to lift: marry to/for son: child your and not to seek peace their and welfare their till forever: enduring because to strengthen: strengthen and to eat [obj] goodness [the] land: country/planet and to possess: possess to/for son: child your till forever: enduring
13 And after all that has happened to us because of our very wicked works and our great offense, you, our God, have freed us from our iniquity, and you have given us salvation, just as it is this day,
and after all [the] to come (in): come upon us in/on/with deed our [the] bad: evil and in/on/with guiltiness our [the] great: large for you(m. s.) God our to withhold to/for beneath from iniquity: crime our and to give: give to/for us survivor like/as this
14 so that we would not turn away and make your commandments void, and so that we would not unite in marriage with the peoples of these abominations. Could you be angry with us even to the very end, so that you would not leave us a remnant to be saved?
to return: again to/for to break commandment your and to/for be related in/on/with people [the] abomination [the] these not be angry in/on/with us till to end: destroy to/for nothing remnant and survivor
15 O Lord, the God of Israel, you are just. For we have been left behind to be saved, just as it is this day. Behold, we are before your sight in our offense. And it is not possible to withstand you in this matter.”
LORD God Israel righteous you(m. s.) for to remain survivor like/as [the] day: today [the] this look! we to/for face: before your in/on/with guiltiness our for nothing to/for to stand: stand to/for face: before your upon this
