Ezra 9
1 Now when these things were completed, the leaders approached me and said, "The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, following their abominations, even those of the Canaanites, the Hethites, 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 mixed themselves with the peoples of the lands. Indeed, the hand of the officials and leaders has been foremost 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 When I heard this thing, I tore my garment and my robe, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down confounded.
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 to me everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of their trespass of the captivity; and I sat confounded 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 At the evening offering I arose up from my humiliation, even with my garment and my robe torn; and I fell on my knees, and spread out my hands to 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, "My God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to you, my God; for our iniquities have increased over our head, and our guiltiness has grown up 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 Since the days of our fathers we have been exceeding guilty to this day; and for our iniquities we, our kings, and our priests, have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to plunder, 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 Now for a little moment grace has 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 bondservants; yet our God has not forsaken us in our bondage, but has extended loving kindness to 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 its ruins, and to give 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 "Now, our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken your commandments,
“Tusruktu inge, O God, mea kut ku in fahk tukun ma inge nukewa su sikyak? Kut sifilpa seakos ma sap
11 which you have commanded by your servants the prophets, saying, 'The land, to which you go to possess it, is an unclean land through the uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, through their abominations, which 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 do not give your daughters to their sons, neither take their daughters to your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity forever; that you may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children forever.'
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 "After all that has come on us for our evil deeds, and for our great guilt, since you, our God, have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have 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 your commandments, and join in affinity with the peoples that do these abominations? Wouldn't you be angry with us until you had 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 The LORD, the God of Israel, you are righteous; for we are left a remnant that has escaped, as it is this day. Look, we are before you in our guiltiness; for none can stand before you 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.”
