Ezra 9
1 Now when these things were accomplished, the princes approached me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the nations of the lands, notwithstanding their abominations, from the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the 'Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Emorites;
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; and the holy seed have mingled themselves with the nations of these lands; and the hand of the princes and rulers hath been the first in this trespass.
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 I plucked out some of the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astounded.
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 And then assembled themselves unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the trespass of the exiles; and I sat astounded until the evening sacrifice.
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 sacrifice I rose up from my fasting, and while rending my garment and my mantle, I knelt down 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 confounded to lift up my face unto thee, my God! for our iniquities are increased above our head, and our guiltiness is grown up as far as 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 From the days of our fathers have we been in a great guiltiness even until this day; and through our iniquities have we been delivered, we, our kings, and our priests, into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to the shame 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 hath grace been extended from the Lord our God, to preserve us a remnant to escape, and to give us a stake in his holy place, that our God might enlighten 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 in our bondage hath our God not forsaken us, but hath extended unto us kindness before the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to exalt the house of our God, and to erect again its ruins, 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 what shall we say, O our God, 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 through means of thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to take possession thereof, is a land defiled through the defilement of the nations of the lands, through their abominations, with which they have filled it from one end to another through their uncleanness.
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 And now your daughters shall ye not give unto their sons, and their daughters shall ye not take for your sons, and ye shall not seek their peace and their welfare unto eternity: in order that ye may be strong, and eat the best of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children unto eternity.
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 over us for our evil deeds, and for our great guiltiness, seeing that thou our God hast spared us [punishing us] less than our iniquities [deserved], and hast given us such deliverance as this:
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 Should we again make void thy commandments, and make marriage with these people of abominations? wouldst thou not be angry with us even to make an end of us, so that there would not be any remnant or 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, God of Israel, thou art righteous; for we have been left a remnant that hath escaped, as it is this day; behold, we are before thee in our guiltiness; for there is no standing 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.”
