< Ezra 9 >

1 Now when these things were done, the princes drew near unto me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, [doing] according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.
Hicheho jousehi akitoh chaisoh kei phat’in Juda lamkai hochu kakomah ahungun, hiti hin asei taovin ahi: “Israel mipi ho chuleh thempu holeh Levite phabep ho jeng jong hiche gamsunga cheng mipiho a konin athongdoh joupouvin ahi. Amahon Canan mite, Hit mite, Periz mite, Jebus mite, Ammon mite, Moab mite, Egypt mite leh Amor mite chonna kidah umtah ho abol taovin ahi.
2 For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons; so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the peoples of the lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass.
Ajeh chu Israel miten hiche mite numei hochu akichenpiu vin chuleh amahoa kon hin achate diuvin ji apui peh un ahi. Hijeh chun hiche kichenna a kilah toh'in namtheng hi asuboh tan ahi. Hiche chungchonna akhoh cheh khat chu lamkai holeh vaihom ho jengin jong hiche thildihlou tah kibol hi alamkai taovin ahi,” atiuvin ahi.
3 And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astonied.
Hiche thuhi kajahdoh phat’in, kasangkhol kaponsil kabottel jengin, kalujang’a kon’in kasam katan lhan kabengmul jong kabotchaiyin, lungthim tongkhatah in katou lhajeng tan ahi.
4 Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the trespass of them of the captivity; and I sat astonied until the evening oblation.
Sohchang’a hung kile hon hitobang thil dihloutah pihi ahin tohdoh jeng phat’un, Israel Pathen thusei kichatna neiho chengchu ahungun, eihung toupi taovin ahi. Hiti chun keima jong nilhah teng kilhaina phat ahunglhun tokahsen lungthim natah in thipbeh in katou jingin ahi.
5 And at the evening oblation I arose up from my humiliation, even with my garment and my mantle rent; and I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God;
Kilhaina phat ahung lhunphat in von kibottel pumleh lungkham puma katouna a konin kahung dingdoh jengin, kadilsun ka Pathen langa chun kakhut kadom sangin,
6 and I said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our guiltiness is grown up unto the heavens.
Keima kataovin, “O ka Pathen keima jachat nan kadimtai, namai lang hin ngat ding jong kajah achatai. Ajeh chu kachonset naohi kaluchangu sangin asang jotai chuleh kathepmo naohin van ahin phatai.
7 Since the days of our fathers we have been exceeding guilty unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to spoiling, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.
Kapu appa teuva pat’in tuni changeijin hiche chonsetna hin kaki phumlut jengun ahi. Hiche jeh chun keiho kahiuvin, kaleng teu ahin, chuleh kathemputeu ahin hiche gamsunga hou neilou te lengho thaneina a kalhalut ji taovin ahi. Hitia chu eina thagam jiuva, gal hinga eina mat jiuva, eichom gam jiuva tunia kadin mun banguva hi jumle jachat thoh'a kaum jitan ahi.
8 And now for a little moment grace hath been shewed 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.
Tuhin phat chomkhat sunghin khotona kachangun, ajeh chu Pakai ka Pathenun mi phabep khat eihinghoi sah taovin ahi. Aman hiche muntheng ahin eivengbit’un ahi. Hitihin Pathen in eihin mit hadohsah un, kasoh channauva kon hin phat chomkhat hi hailhung jouna eihin musah taovin ahi.
9 For we are bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto 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 the ruins thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.
Ajeh chu keiho sohchang kana hiuvin, ka Pathenun amingailutna akhonna beichun hiche kasoh channaova konhin eidalha den pouvin ahi. Hiche jeh chun, Persia lengpa chu khotona neitah in kachung’uvah na atohsah in ahi. Aman eihin kiledoh sah un ka Pathennu Houin hi eisem phat sah un, amangthahsa chu eisemphat sah taovin ahi. Aman Judah leh Jerusalem’ah lung mongin eichensah taovin ahi,” ati.
10 And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments,
Chuleh tun, “Vo ka Pathennu hichan neiphahsah jouvu nungsang’a hi epi kaseithei nahlai diuham? Ven avelin keihon nathupeh chu kapaidoh taovin ahi.
11 which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye 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.
Nasohte themgao hochun gihna thucheng hitihin eina seipeh un ahi, “Nanghon nachenpha nao gamsung hi, asunga ana cheng hon kidah umtah le thet umtah jeng chonna hoa apumpia ana suhboh sao ahi. Agam hi among langkhatna pat among langkhat geija thenlou na a dimset ahi,” atiuvin ahi.
12 now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity t for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever.
“Achateu chu nachanu teutoh kichensah hih un! Achanu teujong nachapateu jidingin pui-peh hih un. Hiche gam mite khantouna diuleh alungmonna diuvin jong tilkhou hih uvin. Nanghon hiche thuhil hi najui uleh nahung hatdoh diu chuleh hiche gam’in ahin sepdoh gapha hochu naphat chompi diu ahi,” ati
13 And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great guilt, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such a remnant,
“Tun keihohi kachonsetnao leh kabolkhel naojeh a gotna chang kahiuvin ahi. Ahinlah kachonset jeh uva kachan diuva lom sanga nemjon gotna neipeuvin, ka Pathennu nangman miphabep pihi eighing hoijun neihin kiledoh sah kit taovin ahi.
14 shall we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the peoples that do these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape?
Ahinlah tujengin jong keihon nathupeh hi kasukeh kit taovin, kidah umtah'a hinkho mang hotoh kichentona kanei taovin ahi. Ven nalunghan nahin eisuhmang uva khat jengcha jong hinghoi louhella neisuh gam jeng thei diudol ahi.
15 O LORD, the God of Israel, thou art righteous; for we are left a remnant that is escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our guiltiness; for none can stand before thee because of this.
Oh Israel Pakai Pathen, nanghi mi kitah nahi. Na-ang sung’ah kathemmo nao pumin kahunglut ui, hiche themmona jeh a hi keiho koimacha jong na angsunga hunglut ngamlou kahiu ahitai,” ati.
