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.
Tukun ma inge orekla, kutu sin mwet kol lun mwet Israel tuku ac fahk nu sik lah mwet uh, mwet tol uh, ac mwet Levi elos tiana sifacna srelosla liki mutunfacl su oan apkuran nu Israel: Ammon, Moab, ac Egypt, ku oayapa liki mwet Canaan, mwet Hit, mwet Periz, mwet Jebus, ac mwet Amor. Elos oru pacna ma srungayuk ma mwet inge oru uh.
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.'
Mukul Jew uh payuk sin mutan sac, pwanang mwet mutal lun God elos fohkfokla. Mwet kol ac mwet pwapa elos pa kunaus ma sap uh oemeet uh.
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.
Ke nga lohngak ma inge, nga seya nuknuk luk ke nga arulana supwar, ac nga siki aunsifuk ac altuk ac muta oela ke asor na lulap.
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.
Nga mutana asor nwe ke sun pacl in orek kisa in eku uh, na mwet uh mutawauk fahsreni nu yuruk — aok elos nukewa su tuninfong ke sripen kas se God lun Israel El tuh fahk ke ma koluk lalos su foloko liki sruoh.
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;
Ke pacl in kisa in eku, nga tuyak liki mutangan asor luk. Nga srakna nukum nuknuk mihsalik luk, na nga sikukmutunte in pre, ac nga asroela pouk nu sin LEUM GOD luk.
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.
Nga fahk, “O God, nga arulana mwekin in keyak sifuk ye motom. Ma koluk lasr yolyak oan lucng liki sifasr, ac fulat oana kusrao.
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.
Kut, su mwet lom, yoklana ma koluk kut orala oe in pacl lun mwet matu lasr me nwe misenge. Ke sripen ma koluk lasr, kut, ac tokosra lasr, ac mwet tol lasr, putatyang nu inpoun tokosra sac, ac anwuk kut, pisreyuk kut, ac utukla kut tuh kut in mwet kapir. Arulana akpusiselyeyuk kut in pacl somla, oana ma orek nu sesr nwe misenge.
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.
Ke kitin pacl fototo inge, O LEUM GOD lasr, kom pakoten nu sesr ac fuhlela kutu sesr in sukosokla liki moul in mwet kohs, ac tuku muta in misla ke acn mutal se inge. Kom orala inkanek in kaingla lasr liki kapir, ac ase moul sasu nu sesr.
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.
Kut tuh mwet kohs, a kom tia filikutla nu ke moul in kohs. Kom oru tuh tokosra fulat in acn Persia in kulang nu sesr, ac elos lela tuh kut in moul na ac sifil musai Tempul lom, su musalsalu, ac in konauk misla in acn Judah ac Jerusalem.
10 And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken Thy commandments,
“Tusruktu inge, O God, mea kut ku in fahk tukun ma inge nukewa su sikyak? Kut sifilpa seakos ma sap
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.
su kom se nu sesr sin mwet palu su mwet kulansap lom. Elos fahkma nu sesr tuh acn se su kut ac som ac oakwuki we sie acn taek, mweyen mwet su muta we elos moulkin moul fohkfok ac oru mwe mwekin yen nukewa, ke tafu acn uh lac nwe ke tafu.
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.
Mwet palu elos tuh fahk nu sesr mu kut in tiana apayuki yurin mwet we, ac in tiana kasrelos nu ke kapkapak, ku in sun finsrak lalos, kut fin lungse in engankin acn sac ac tafwela nu sin tulik natusr nwe tok.
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,
Finne ma puspis sikyak tari in kalyei kut ke sripen ma koluk ac tafongla lasr, kut etu tuh kaiyuk lom nu sesr srik liki ma fal nu sesr. Ac kom, God lasr, kom se nu sesr tuh kut in ku in moul na ac tia misa.
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?
Na mea, pwaye lah kut ac sifil pilesrala ma sap lom ac apayuki yurin mwet koluk inge? Kut fin oru, kom ac arulana mulat ac kom ac fah kunauskutla nukewa, ac tia lela sie in moul.
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.'
LEUM GOD lun Israel, kom suwoswos, tusruktu kom lela kut moul. Kut fahkak nu sum ma sufal lasr, ac kut kupansuwol in tuku nu ye motom.”
