< 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].
A, ka oti enei mea, ka haere mai nga rangatira ki ahau, ka mea, Kihai te iwi o Iharaira ratou ko nga tohunga, ko nga Riwaiti, i momotu i a ratou i roto i nga iwi o nga whenua; rite tonu ta ratou mahi ki nga mea whakarihariha a era, ara a nga Kana ani, a nga Hiti, a nga Perihi, a nga Iepuhi, a nga Amoni, a nga Moapi, a nga Ihipiana, a nga Amori.
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.
Kua tangohia hoki e ratou etahi o a ratou tamahine ma ratou, ma a ratou tama. Na kua whakawhenumitia te momo tapu ki roto ki nga iwi o aua whenua. Ae ra, nui noa ake te ringa o nga rangatira, o nga tino tangata, ki tenei he.
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.
Na, i toku rongonga i tenei, haea ana e ahau toku kakahu me toku koroka, hutihutia ana e ahau nga huruhuru o toku matenga, o oku pahau, a noho ana, miharo ana.
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.
Katahi ka huihui mai ki ahau te hunga katoa i wehi i nga kupu a te Atua o Iharaira, he mea mo te he o te hunga i whakaraua: a ko ahau i noho me te miharo, a taea noatia te whakahere o te ahiahi.
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.
Na, i te whakahere o te ahiahi, ka maranga ake ahau i toku whakama, me toku kakahu ano me toku koroka i haehaea; piko ana oku turi, a ka wherahia atu oku ringa ki a Ihowa, ki toku Atua;
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.
Na ka mea ahau, E toku Atua, he whakama ahau, numinumi kau ana ahau, te ara ai toku mata ki a koe, e toku Atua. Kua tetere rawa hoki o matou he ki runga ake i o matou mahunga; nui atu to matou poka ke, a tutuki noa ki te rangi.
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.
Nui atu to matou poka ke, no nga ra ano o o matou matua a taea noatia tenei ra: na o matou he hoki i hoatu ai matou, o matou kingi, o matou tohunga, ki te ringa o nga kingi o nga whenua, ki te hoari, ki te whakarau, hei pahuatanga, a whakama iho te mata, koia ano tenei inaianei.
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.
Na he iti nei tenei wahi i whakaputaina ai he atawhai e Ihowa, e to matou Atua, kia toe ai etahi morehu o matou; kia homai ai ki a matou he titi ki tona wahi tapu, kia whakamaramatia ai o matou kanohi e to matou Atua, kia homai ai ki a matou he o ranga ngakau, he mea iti, i a matou nei i te herehere.
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.
He pononga hoki matou; heoi i a matou i te herehere kihai matou i mahue i to matou Atua: na whakaputaina ana e ia he aroha ki a matou i te aroaro o nga kingi o Pahia, i homai ai he oranga ngakau ki a matou, i whakaarahia ai te whare o to matou At ua, i hanga ai ona wahi kua ururuatia, i homai ai he taiepa ki a matou ki Hura, ki Hiruharama.
10 And therefore what? will we say O God our after this for we have forsaken commandments your.
Na kia pehea he kupu ma matou, e to matou Atua, i muri i tenei? kua whakarerea hoki e matou au whakahau,
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.
I whakahaua e koe, ara e au pononga, e nga poropiti: i ki mai hoki koe, Ko te whenua ka haere nei koutou ki reira tango ai, he whenua poke tera i nga poke o nga iwi o nga whenua, i a ratou mea whakarihariha, ki tonu hoki i tetahi pito ki tetahi i to ratou poke.
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.
Na, tena, kaua a koutou tamahine e hoatu ma a ratou tama, kaua ano a ratou tamahine e tangohia mai ma a koutou tama; kaua ano e whai kia mau te rongo ki a ratou, kia whai pai ranei ratou a ake ake; kia kaha ai koutou, kia kai ai hoki i nga mea p ai o te whenua, a waiho iho hei kainga mo a koutou tama ake tonu atu.
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.
Na kua pa nei enei mea katoa ki a matou mo a matou mahi he, mo te nui o to matou poka ke, a i te mea he iti iho i o matou he au whiu, e to matou Atua, a homai ana e koe tenei wahi whakaoranga:
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.
Kia takahi ano ranei matou i au tikanga, kia marena ki nga iwi nana enei whakarihariha? e kore ianei koe e riri ki a matou a poto noa matou i a koe, kore noa he morehu, he oranga?
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.
E Ihowa, e te Atua o Iharaira, he tika tau; e toe nei hoki matou, he morehu, koia ano tenei inaianei. Nana, tenei matou kei tou aroaro, me o matou he: na tenei hoki te tu ai he tangata ki tou aroaro.
