< Ezra 9 >
1 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.
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 om uh.
2 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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,
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 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.
Te vaengah, “Ka Pathen taengah ka yak coeng tih ka maelhmai he ka Pathen nang taengah ka mik huel ham khaw ka hmaithae. Kaimih kah thaesainah loh ka lu so la poe hang tih, kaimih kah dumlai loh vaan duela a puet.
7 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.
A pa rhoek tue lamloh tahae khohnin duela kaimih he lai puei neh ka om uh. Kaimih kah thaesainah loh kaimih 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 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.
Tedae kaimih kah rhalyong aka sueng ham kaimih kah Pathen BOEIPA taeng lamkah lungmacil tah mikhaptok ca kah ham khaw om coeng. Kaimih ham a hmuencim hmuen ah hlingcong aka pae ham ni. Kaimih kah Pathen tah kaimih mik aka sae sak neh, kaimih he pinyennah khuiah kaimih hinglu hlawtnah bet aka pae la om.
9 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.
Kaimih he sal la om sitoe cakhaw kaimih kah pinyennah khuiah kaimih kah Pathen loh kaimih n'hnoo moenih. Kaimih 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 And nowe, our God, what shall we say after this? for we haue forsaken thy commandements,
“Na olpaek ka hnawt uh dongah he hnukah kaimih kah Pathen te metlam ka thui pueng eh?
11 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.
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 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.
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 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)
Kaimih kah boethae khoboe dongah, kaimih kah lai puei dongah ni kaimih taengah boeih a thoeng. Tedae kaimih kah Pathen namah loh kaimih kah thaesainah lakah a toem la nan hoeptlang dongah tahae kah bangla kaimih taengah loeihnah nan paek.
14 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?
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 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.
Israel Pathen BOEIPA tah na dueng pai tih tahae khohnin kah bangla loeihnah neh ka sueng uh. Kaimih he namah mikhmuh ah kamamih kah dumlai neh ka om uh. He dongah na mikhmuh ah ka pai ngoeng pawh,” a ti.
