Ezra 9
1 And just as finished these [things] they drew near to me the leaders saying not they have separated themselves the people Israel and the priests and the Levites from [the] peoples of the lands according to abominations their to the Canaanite[s] the Hittite[s] the Perizzite[s] the Jebusite[s] the Ammonite[s] the Moabite[s] the Egyptian[s] and the Amorite[s].
Lè tout bagay sa yo fin regle, chèf pèp Izrayèl yo vin jwenn mwen, yo di m' konsa: -Pèp la, ansanm ak prèt yo ak moun Levi yo fin melanje nèt ak moun lòt nasyon ki nan peyi a: moun Kanaran yo, moun Et yo, moun Ferezi yo, moun Jebis yo, moun Amon yo, moun Moab yo, moun Lejip yo ak moun Amori yo. Yo lage kò yo nan fè menm vye bagay ak moun sa yo.
2 For they have taken some of daughters their for themselves and for sons their and they have mixed themselves [the] offspring of holiness with [the] peoples of the lands and [the] hand of the leaders and the officials it has been in the unfaithfulness this first.
Yo marye ak fanm pèp sa yo, yo marye pitit gason yo ak pitit fi pèp sa yo. Se konsa, ras Bondye chwazi pou li a twouve l' melanje ak ras moun peyi a. Premye moun ki lage kò yo nan move zak sa yo se chèf yo ak konseye yo.
3 And just as heard I the matter this I tore garment my and robe my and I pulled out! some of [the] hair of head my and beard my and I sat down! appalled.
Lè m' tande sa, mwen vin gen yon sèl lapenn, mwen chire rad sou mwen, mwen rache cheve nan tèt mwen ak plim bab mwen.
4 And to me they gathered every [person] trembling at [the] words of [the] God of Israel on [the] unfaithfulness of the exile[s] and I [was] sitting appalled until [the] offering of the evening.
M' al koupi kò m' yon kote sitèlman sa te fè m' lapenn. Anpil moun te pè lè yo vin konnen sa Seyè a te di sou koze peche moun yo te depòte epi ki te tounen nan peyi a te fè a. Yo tout vin sanble bò kote m'. Mwen menm menm, mwen te rete chita koupi atè a, jouk lè pou yo fè ofrann chak aswè a rive, tèlman sa te fè m' mal.
5 And at [the] offering of the evening I arose from humiliation my and in tearing of my garment my and robe my and I bowed down! on knees my and I spread out! palms my to Yahweh God my.
Lè lè a rive pou yo fè ofrann chak aswè a, mwen leve kote m' te koupi ap kriye a, epi ak tout rad chire yo sou mwen, mwen tonbe ajenou, mwen louvri de bra m' devan Seyè a, Bondye mwen an.
6 And I said! O God my I am ashamed and I am humiliated to lift up O God my face my to you for iniquities our they have increased upwards a head and guilt our it is great to the heavens.
Mwen di l' konsa: -O Bondye papa m'! Mwen twò wont, mwen pa konn sa pou m' fè! M' pa ka leve tèt mwen devan ou, Bondye mwen! Nou tèlman fè sa ki mal, yo fè pil moute pi wo pase tèt nou. Peche nou yo anpile yonn sou lòt, yo rive jouk nan syèl la.
7 From [the] days of ancestors our we [have been] in guilt great until the day this and in iniquities our we have been given we kings our priests our in [the] hand of - [the] kings of the lands by sword by captivity and by plunder and by shame of face as the day this.
Depi nan tan zansèt nou yo jouk jounen jòdi a, nou pa manke fè sa ki mal. Se poutèt tou sa nou te fè ki mal kifè ou te lage nou ansanm ak wa nou yo ak prèt nou yo nan men wa lòt peyi yo. Yo touye nou nan lagè, yo depòte nou, yo piye tout ajan nou, yo fè nou wont jan nou ye jouk koulye a.
8 And now like a little of a moment it has come favor from with - Yahweh God our to leave to us an escaped remnant and to give to us a tent peg in [the] place of holiness his to light up eyes our God our and to give to us reviving a little in servitude our.
Men koulye a, depi kèk jou, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te fè nou yon favè. Li sove de twa nan nou, li ban nou yon kote pou nou jwenn pwoteksyon nan kay ki apa pou li a. Se konsa li ban nou kouraj ankò, li wete nou nan kalite esklavaj kote nou te ye a, li ban nou yon ti souf.
9 For [are] slaves we and in servitude our not he has abandoned us God our and he has extended towards us covenant loyalty before [the] kings of Persia by giving to us reviving to raise up [the] house of God our and to set up ruins its and by giving to us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.
Paske se esklav nou ye jouk jòdi a. Men menm nan esklavaj sa a, Bondye pa lage nou. Li fè wa peyi Pès yo aji byen ak nou. Yo ban nou yon ti souf, pou nou te ka rebati tanp Bondye nou an ki te fin kraze nèt. Yo ban nou yon kote pou nou jwenn pwoteksyon nan peyi Jida ak lavil Jerizalèm.
10 And therefore what? will we say O God our after this for we have forsaken commandments your.
Koulye a menm, Bondye, kisa pou nou di ou? Menm apre tou sa ou deja fè pou nou, nou dezobeyi tout kòmandman
11 Which you commanded by [the] hand of servants your the prophets saying the land which you [are] going to take possession of it [is] a land of impurity it by [the] impurity of [the] peoples of the lands by abominations their which they have filled it from mouth to mouth with uncleanness their.
ou te ban nou pou nou swiv, lè pwofèt yo, sèvitè ou yo, te di nou nan non ou: Peyi kote nou pral antre a, peyi nou pral pran pou nou rete a, se yon peyi ki pèdi favè Bondye, paske moun k'ap viv ladan l' yo ap fè yon bann bagay degoutan, vye bagay sal toupatou ladan l'.
12 And therefore daughters your may not you give to sons their and daughters their may not you take for sons your and not you must seek peace their and good their until perpetuity so that you may be strong and you will eat [the] good thing[s] of the land and you will cause to inherit [it] sons your until perpetuity.
Enben! Piga nou marye pitit fi nou yo ak pitit gason yo, ni piga nou chwazi pitit fi yo pou pitit gason nou yo. Nou pa bezwen chache konnen si zafè yo ap mache, si yo gen kè kontan. Se sèl jan nou menm nou ka vin fò, nou ka manje tout bon bagay ki donnen nan peyi a, nou ka kite tè sa a pou pitit nou yo pou tout tan.
13 And after every [thing which] has come on us by deeds our evil and by guilt our great for - you O God our you have withheld downwards from iniquity our and you have given to us an escaped remnant like this.
Apre tou sa ki te rive nou, yon jan pou ou te pini nou pou move zak ak tout bagay mal nou te fè yo, nou wè, O Bondye nou, ou pa t' pini nou jan nou te merite l' la. Ou te kite yon ti rès nan nou ap viv toujou, nou menm ki la koulye a.
14 ¿ Will we return to break commandments your and to intermarry with [the] peoples of the abominations these ¿ not will you be angry with us until make an end to there not [will be] a remnant and an escaped remnant.
Epi pou koulye a ankò pou nou pa swiv kòmandman ou yo, pou n' al marye avèk kalite move moun sa yo? Fwa sa a, p'ap gen anyen ki pou anpeche ou fache sou nou jouk pou ou detwi nou nèt, san ou pa kite pesonn chape!
15 O Yahweh [the] God of Israel [are] righteous you for we are left an escaped remnant as the day this here we [are] before you in guilt our for not to stand before you on this.
Seyè, ou menm ki Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, se paske ou bon anpil pou nou kifè gen yon ti ponyen nan nou ki rete toujou, jan sa ye jòdi a. Epi, gade koulye a, men nou kanpe devan ou avèk tout peche nou yo! Wi, nou pa gen dwa rete vivan devan ou ankò poutèt sa!
