Ezra 9
1 And at the completion of these things, the heads have drawn near to me, saying, “The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not been separated from the peoples of the lands, as to their abominations, even the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite, the Ammonite, the Moabite, the Egyptian, and the Amorite,
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 to them, and to their sons, and the holy seed have mingled themselves among the peoples of the lands, and the hand of the heads and of the seconds have been 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 at my hearing this word, I have torn my garment and my upper robe, and pluck out of the hair of my head, and of my beard, and sit astonished,
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 to me are gathered everyone trembling at the words of the God of Israel, because of the trespass of the expulsion, and I am sitting astonished until the present of the evening.
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 present of the evening I have risen from my affliction, and at my tearing my garment and my upper robe, then I bow down on my knees, and spread out my hands to my God YHWH,
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 say, “O my God, I have been ashamed, and have blushed to lift up, O my God, my face to You, for our iniquities have increased over the head, and our guilt has become great to 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 we [are] in great guilt to this day, and in our iniquities we have been given—we, our kings, our priests—into the hand of the kings of the lands, with sword, with captivity, and with spoiling, and with shame of face, as [at] 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, as a small moment grace has been from our God YHWH, to leave an escape for us, and to give to us a nail in His holy place, by our God’s enlightening our eyes, and by giving us a little quickening in our servitude;
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] servants, and in our servitude our God has not forsaken us, and stretches out to us kindness before the kings of Persia, to give to us a quickening to lift up the house of our God, and to cause its ruins to cease, and to give to us a wall 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 do we say, O our God, after this? For we have forsaken Your commands,
“Tusruktu inge, O God, mea kut ku in fahk tukun ma inge nukewa su sikyak? Kut sifilpa seakos ma sap
11 that You have commanded by the hands of Your servants the prophets, saying, The land into which you are going to possess it, [is] a land of impurity, by the impurity of the people of the lands, by their abominations with which they have filled it—from mouth to mouth—by 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 you do not give to their sons, and their daughters you do not take to your sons, and you do not seek their peace, and their good—for all time, so that you are strong, and have eaten the good of the land, and given possession to your sons for all time.
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 has come on us for our evil works, and for our great guilt (for You, O our God, have kept back of the rod from our iniquities, and have given to us an escape like 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 do we turn back to break Your commands, and to join ourselves in marriage with the people of these abominations? Are You not angry against us—even to consumption—until there is no remnant and escaped part?
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 YHWH, God of Israel, You [are] righteous, for we have been left an escape, as [it is] this day; behold, we [are] before You in our guilt, for there is none to stand before You concerning 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.”
