Ezra 9
1 Some time later after all this had happened, the leaders came and told me, “The people of Israel, including the priests and Levites, have not kept themselves separate from the people around us whose disgusting religious practices are similar to those of the Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians, and Amorites.
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.
2 Some Israelites have even married women from these people, both themselves and their sons, mixing the holy race with these people of the land. Our leaders and officials are at the forefront of this sinful behavior.”
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.
3 When I heard about this, I tore my clothes, pulled out some hair from my head and beard, and sat down, absolutely appalled.
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.
4 Everyone who respected the instructions of the God of Israel gathered around me because of this sin on the part of the exiles. I sat there shocked and appalled until the evening sacrifice.
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.
5 At the evening sacrifice, I stood up from where I had been sitting in grief, with my clothes torn, and I kneeled down and held out my hands to the Lord my God.
Kilhaina phat ahung lhunphat in von kibottel pumleh lungkham puma katouna a konin kahung dingdoh jengin, kadilsun ka Pathen langa chun kakhut kadom sangin,
6 I prayed, “My God, I am so ashamed and embarrassed to come and pray to you, my God, because we are in over our heads in sin, and our guilt has risen to the heavens.
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.
7 From the time of our forefathers to now, we have been deeply guilty. Because of our sins, we, our kings, and our priests have been handed over to the kings of the earth, killed and taken prisoner, robbed and humiliated, just like we are today.
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.
8 Now for a short time the Lord our God has given us grace, preserving a few of us as a remnant, and giving us safety in his holy place. Our God has brightened our lives by giving us some relief from our slavery.
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.
9 Though we are slaves, our God did not abandon us in our slavery, but he showed us his trustworthy love by making the kings of Persia kind to us, by reviving us so we could rebuild the Temple of our God and repair its ruined state, and by giving us a wall of protection around Judah and Jerusalem.
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.
10 But now, our God, what do we have to say for ourselves after all this? For we have given up following your commands
Chuleh tun, “Vo ka Pathennu hichan neiphahsah jouvu nungsang’a hi epi kaseithei nahlai diuham? Ven avelin keihon nathupeh chu kapaidoh taovin ahi.
11 that you gave through your servants the prophets, telling us, ‘The land you are entering to become its owners is contaminated by the sins of its peoples, the disgusting religious practices that they have filled it with, from one side to the other.
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.
12 So do not let your daughters marry their sons, or allow their daughters marry your sons. Never make a peace or friendship treaty with them, so that you may live well and eat the good food the land produces, and give the land as an inheritance to your children forever.’
“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
13 Now that we are receiving all this punishment because of our sinful actions and our terrible guilt—though you, our God, have not punished us as much as our sins deserve, and have still given us this remnant—
“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.
14 shall we break your commandments once again and intermarry with the peoples who commit these disgusting religious practices? Wouldn't you become so angry with us that you would destroy us? No remnant would be left, not a single survivor.
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.
15 Lord, God of Israel, you do what is right. Today we're all that is left, a remnant. We are before you in our guilt, but no one can stand before you because of it.”
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.
