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.
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 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."
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 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.
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 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.
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 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;
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, "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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 "Now, our God, what shall we say 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 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.
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 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.'
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 "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,
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 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?
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 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."
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.
