Ezra 9
1 Now when these things were done, the princes drew near unto me, saying: 'The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.
A PAU keia mau mea i ka hanaia, hele mai na luna ia'u, i mai la, O na kanaka o ka Iseraela, a me na kahuna, a me na Levi, aole lakou i hookaawale ia lakou iho mai na kanaka o na aina aku, e hana ana no e like me na mea hoopailua o ka Kanaana, o ka Heta, o ka Periza, o ka Iebusa, o ka Amona, a me ka Aigupita, a me ka Amora.
2 For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons; so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the peoples of the lands; yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been first in this faithlessness.'
A ua lawe lakou i na kaikamahine a lakou i wahine na lakou, a na ka lakou mau keikikane; a ua hui pu ka poe laa ia lakou iho me na kanaka e na aina; a o na haku, a me na luna, o lakou ke kumu o keia hewa.
3 And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down appalled.
A lohe au i keia mea, haehae iho la au i kuu lole komo, a me kuu aahu, a huki aku la i ke oho o kuu poo, a me kuu umiumi, a noho pilihua iho la au.
4 Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the faithlessness of them of the captivity; and I sat appalled until the evening offering.
Alaila houluuluia ae la io'u nei ka poe a pau i haalulu i na olelo a ke Akua o ka Iseraela, no ka hewa o ka poe i pio; a noho pilihua iho la au, a hiki i ka mohai ahiahi.
5 And at the evening offering I arose up from my fasting, even with my garment and my mantle rent; and I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God;
A i ka mohai ahiahi ku ae la au mai kuu kanmaha ana, a haehae iho la i kuu lole komo, a me kuu aahu, kukuli iho la au, a hohola aku la i kuu mau lima ia Iehova i ko'u Akua.
6 and I 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 guiltiness is grown up unto the heavens.
I aku la, E kuu Akua e, ua hilahila wau, ua wiwo hoi, ke nana ae ko'u mau maka ia oe, e kuu Akua: no ka mea, ua hoonuiia ko makou hewa maluna o ke poo, a ua hookiekieia ko makou hala i ka lani.
7 Since the days of our fathers we have been exceeding guilty unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to spoiling, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.
Mai ka manawa o ko makou poe makua, ua noho makou iloko o ka hewa nui, a hiki i keia manawa; a uo ko makou hewa, i haawiia makou, a me ko makou mau alii, a me ko makou poe kahuna, iloko o ka lima o na'lii o na aina e, i ka pahikaua, a i ka lawe pio ana, a i ka lukuia, a i ka hilahila o na maka, e like me ia i keia la.
8 And now for a little moment grace hath been shown from the LORD 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.
Ano i ka wa pokole, ua ahonuiia makoa, mai Iehova ko makou Akua mai, e waiho mai no makou i kekahi poe i pakele, a e haawi mai ia makou i ka onipaa ana ma kona wahi hoano, i hoomalamalama mai ai ke Akua i ko makou maka, a i haawi mai ai i wahi oluolu iki iloko o ko makou luhi.
9 For we are bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of 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 fence in Judah and in Jerusalem.
No ka mea, he poe makou i hooluhiia; aka, aole i haalele mai ko makou Akua ia makou i ko makou luhi ana, a ua haawi mai ia makou i ka lokomaikaiia imua o na'lii o Peresia, e haawi mai ia makou i ka oluolu, e kukulu i ka hale o ko makou Akua, a e hana hou i kona mau wahi i hiolo, a e haawi ia makou i wahi pa ma Iuda a ma Ierusalema.
10 And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken Thy commandments,
Ano, e ko makou Akua, heaha ka makou e olelo aku ai mahope o keia? no ka mea, ua haalelo makou i kau mau kauoha,
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 uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, through their abominations, wherewith they have filled it from one end to another with their filthiness.
Na mea au i kauoha mai ai ma ka lima o kau poe kauwa, na kaula, i mai la, O ka aina, kahi a oukou e hele ai a komo, he aina haumia i ka mea haumia o na kanaka o na aina, me ko lakou mea hoopailua, na mea a lakou i hoopiha ai me ko lakou mau mea pelapela mai kela aoao, a hiki i keia aoao.
12 Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto 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.
No ia mea, mai haawi aku oukou i ka oukou poe kaikamahine na ka lakou mau keikikane, a mai lawe hoi i ka lakou mau kaikamahine na ka oukou poe keikikane, aole hoi e imi i ko lakou malu, a me ko lakou pono i na manawa a pau; i ikaika ai oukou, a ai hoi i ka maikai o ka aina, a e waiho aku ia i wahi e noho ai no ka oukou poe keiki i ka manawa pau ole.
13 And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great guilt, seeing that Thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such a remnant,
A mahope o na mea a pau i hiki mai ai maluna o makou no ka makou hana hewa ana, a me ko makou lawehala nui ana, no ka mea, o oe ko makou Akua, ua hoopai unku mai ia makou i ko makou hewa, a ua haawi mai oe no makou i ka pakele e like me keia.
14 shall we again break Thy commandments, and make marriages with the peoples that do these abominations? wouldest not Thou be angry with us till Thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape?
E haihai hou anei makou i kau mau kauoha, a e mare makou me na kanaka o keia mau mea haumia? aole anei oe e huhu mai ia makou, a hoopau mai oe ia makou, aohe mea koe, aohe mea pakele?
15 O LORD, the God of Israel, Thou art righteous; for we are left a remnant that is escaped, as it is this day; behold, we are before Thee in our guiltiness; for none can stand before Thee because of this.'
E Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, he pono kou; no ka, mea, ke koe nei makou e pakele ana, e like me ia i keia la; eia hoi makou imua ou iloko o ko makou hala; no ka mea, aole e hiki ia makou ke ku imua ou no keia mea.
