< Ezra 9 >

1 And when these things were finished, the princes drew near to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands in their abominations, [even] the Chananite, the Ethite, the Pherezite, the Jebusite, the Ammonite, the Moabite, and the Moserite and the Amorite.
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 their sons; and the holy seed has passed among the nations of the lands, and the hand of the rulers [has been] first in this transgression.
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 tore my garments, and trembled, and plucked [some] of the hairs of my head and of my beard, and sat down mourning.
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 there assembled to me all that followed the word of the God of Israel, on account of the transgression of the captivity; and I remained mourning until the evening sacrifice.
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 sacrifice I rose up from my humiliation; and when I had tore my garments, then I trembled, and I bow myself on my knees, and spread out my hands to the Lord 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 Lord, I am ashamed and confounded, O my God, to lift up my face to you: for our transgressions have abounded over our head, and our trespasses have increased even to heaven.
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 From the days of our fathers we have been in a great trespass until this day: and because of our iniquities we, and our kings, and our children, have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the Gentiles by the sword, and by captivity, and by spoil, and with shame of our face, as at 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 our God has dealt mercifully with us, so as to leave us to escape, and to give us an establishment in the place of his sanctuary, to enlighten our eyes, and to give a little quickening in our servitude.
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 slaves, yet in our servitude the Lord our God has not deserted us; and he has extended favor to us in the sight of the kings of the Persians, to give us a quickening, that they should raise up the house of our God, and restore the desolate places of it, and to give us a fence in Juda and 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 What shall we say, our God, after this? for we have forsaken your 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 you have given us by the hand of your servants the prophets, saying, The land, into which you go to inherit it, is a land subject to disturbance by the removal of the people of the nations for their abominations, wherewith they have filled it from one end to the other by their uncleanness.
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 And now give not your daughters to their sons, and take not of their daughters for your sons, neither shall you seek their peace or their good for ever: that you may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and transmit it as 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 because of our evil deeds, and our great trespass, [it is clear] that there is none such as our God, for you has lightly visited our iniquities, and given us deliverance;
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 whereas we have repeatedly broken your commandments, and intermarried with the people of the lands: be not very angry with us to [our] utter destruction, so that there should be no remnant or escaping one.
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 God of Israel, you [are] righteous; for we remain [yet] escaped, as at this day: behold, we [are] before you in our trespasses: for we can’t stand before you on this account.
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.
