Ezra 9
1 Now when these things were completed, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, according to their abominations, [even] of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites;
Aa ie niheneke, le niheo mb’ amako mb’eo o roandriañeo nanao ty hoe: Mboe tsy miavak’ am’ondati’ o taneo o nte-Israeleo naho o mpisoroñeo vaho o nte-Levio, ty amo haloloa’ o nte-Kanàneo, o nte-Kiteo, o nte Perizeo, o nte-Iebosio, o nte-Amoneo, o nte-Moabeo, o nte-Mitsraimeo vaho o nte-Amoreo.
2 for they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons, and have mingled the holy seed with the peoples of the lands; and the hand of the princes and rulers has been chief in this unfaithfulness.
Ie nañenga amo anak’ ampela’ iareoo ho am-bata’e naho ho amo ana-dahi’eo; aa le mitraok’ am’ondati’ i taneio i tiry miavakey; eka, toe lohà’e amy tsy figahiñañe zay ty fità’ o roandriañeo naho o mpiaoloo.
3 And when I heard this thing, I rent my mantle and my garment, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down overwhelmed.
Ie nahatsanoñe izay iraho le riniako i sarokoy naho i sarimbokoy naho nañonotse ty volon-dohako naho ty somako vaho nitoboke an-kasalarañe.
4 Then were assembled to me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the unfaithfulness of those that had been carried away; and I sat overwhelmed until the evening oblation.
Nivory amako ze hene mpinevenevetse amo tsaran’ Añahare’ Israeleo ty amy tsy figahiña’ o tam-pandrohizañeo; le nitoboke eo avao iraho ami’ty hadabàko ampara’ i fisoroñan-karivay.
5 And at the evening oblation I arose up from my humiliation; and with my mantle and my garment rent, I fell on my knees, and spread out my hands to Jehovah my God,
Le niongak’ amy fisoroñan-karivay iraho, ie riatse i sarokoy naho i sarimbokoy; le nivarahotrak’ añ’ongoko eo nañiti-tàñañe amy Iehovà Andrianañahareko
6 and said: O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God; for our iniquities are increased over [our] head, and our trespass is grown up to the heavens.
nanao ty hoe: O Andrianañahareko, salatse iraho, meñatse tsy mahaandra’ tarehe ama’o, ry Andrianañahareko; fa mitoabotse am-bonen’ añambone’ay ey o hakeo’aio vaho mitombo pak’ an-dikerañe añe o tahi’aio.
7 Since the days of our fathers, we have been in great trespass to this day; and for our iniquities we, our kings, our priests, have been given into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, and to captivity, and to spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.
Toe niliforen-kakeo tañ’ andron-droae’ay ampara henaneo zahay, le o tahi’aio ty nanolorañe anay naho o mpanjaka’aio naho o mpisoro’aio am-pitàm-panjaka’ o taneo; am-pibara, an-drohy, am-pikopafañe naho an-kasalaran-daharañe manahake androany.
8 And now for a little space there hath been favour from Jehovah our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.
Ie vaho anianike te nihelañe eo ty fitretreza’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay, nanisa ama’ay ty sehanga’e nipolititse, hitolora’e ty fantake an-toe’e miavakey, hañazavàn’ Añahare’ay o fihaino’aio hampisotratsotrake anay amo rohi’aio.
9 For we are bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us before the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God and to repair the ruins thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.
Toe fetrek’ oron-jahay; fe tsy naforintsen’ Añahare’ay amy fandrohizañey, te mone niferenaiña’e am-pahaoniña’ o mpanjaka’ i Paraseo, hanolora’e fañavaòañe hampitroara’ay ty anjomban’ Añahare’ay, hampijohaña’ay o nianto ama’eo vaho nitolora’e kijolim-piarovañe e Iehodà naho e Ierosalaime ao.
10 And now, what shall we say, our God, after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments,
Aa ie henanekeo ry Andrianañahare’ay, ino ty hanoe’ay? kanao nifarie’ay o lili’oo,
11 which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess [it], is an unclean land through the filthiness of the peoples of the lands, through their abominations with which they have filled it from one end to another through their uncleanness.
o nandilia’o añamo mpitoky mpitoro’oo, ami’ ty hoe: Toe tane maleotse i tane ionjona’ areo ho tavaneñey, amo haleora’ ondati’ i taneio, amo haloloa’ iareoo; ie nampipeà’ iareo ama’e ty hativà’ iareo boak’ añ’efe’e sikal’ añ’ilae’e añe.
12 Now therefore give not your daughters to their sons, neither take their daughters to your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity for ever; that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever.
Ie amy zao ko atolo’ areo amo ana-dahi’ iareoo o anak’ ampela’ areoo naho ko ampañenga’ areo o anak’ ampela’ iareoo o ana-dahi’ areoo; ko ipaia’ areo kitro-katroke ty fanintsiñañe ndra ty firaoraoañe; soa te ho fatratse nahareo hikama ty hasoa o taneo, hampandovà’ areo aze amo ana’ areoo nainai’e.
13 And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities [deserve], and hast given us such deliverance as this,
Aa i hene nifetsak’ ama’ay ty amo sata-rati’aio naho o halòn-kakeo’ aioy naho te ihe, Andrianañahare’ay tsy nandafa anay mañeva o tahi’aio vaho natolo’o o sehanga’e zao,
14 should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the peoples of these abominations? wouldest thou not be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor any to escape?
aa vaho hivalik’ amo lili’oo indraike zahay, hifanambaly am’ondaty mpanao i halò-tsere’e rezay? Tsy hiviñera’o ampara’ te nimongore’o, tsy aman-tsehanga’e, leo raike tsy hahapolititse?
15 Jehovah, God of Israel, thou art righteous; for we are a remnant that is escaped, as [it is] this day. Behold, we are before thee in our trespasses; for there is no standing before thee because of this.
Vantan-dRehe ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele; fa nanisàñe ama’ay o nahapolititseo, ie o androanio; hehe te miatrek’ Azo an-kakeo; leo raike tsy hahafitroatse añatrefa’o ty amo raha zao.
