After these things had been accomplished, the leaders approached me and said, “The people of Israel, including the priests and Levites, have not kept themselves separate from the surrounding peoples whose abominations are like those of the Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians, and Amorites.
2 for to lift: marry from daughter their to/for them and to/for son: child their and to pledge seed: children [the] holiness in/on/with people [the] land: country/planet and hand: power [the] ruler and [the] ruler to be in/on/with unfaithfulness [the] this first: chief
Indeed, the Israelites have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and their sons, so that the holy seed has been mixed with the people of the land. And the leaders and officials have taken the lead in this unfaithfulness!”

When I heard this report, I tore my tunic and cloak, pulled out some hair from my head and beard, and sat down in horror.

Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel gathered around me because of the unfaithfulness of the exiles, while I sat there in horror until the evening offering.
5 and in/on/with offering [the] evening to arise: rise from fasting my and in/on/with to tear I garment my and robe my and to bow [emph?] upon knee my and to spread [emph?] palm my to(wards) LORD God my
At the evening offering, I got up from my humiliation with my tunic and cloak torn, and I fell on my knees, spread out my hands to the LORD my God,
6 and to say [emph?] God my be ashamed and be humiliated to/for to exalt God my face my to(wards) you for iniquity: crime our to multiply to/for above [to] head and guiltiness our to magnify till to/for heaven
and said: “O my God, I am ashamed and embarrassed to lift up my face to You, my God, because our iniquities are higher than our heads, and our guilt has reached the heavens.

From the days of our fathers to this day, our guilt has been great. Because of our iniquities, we and our kings and priests have been delivered into the hands of the kings of the earth and put to the sword and captivity, to pillage and humiliation, as we are this day.
8 and now like/as little moment to be supplication from with LORD God our to/for to remain to/for us survivor and to/for to give: give to/for us peg in/on/with place holiness his to/for to light eye our God our and to/for to give: give us recovery little in/on/with slavery our
But now, for a brief moment, grace has come from the LORD our God to preserve for us a remnant and to give us a stake in His holy place. Even in our bondage, our God has given us new life and light to our eyes.
9 for servant/slave we and in/on/with slavery our not to leave: forsake us God our and to stretch upon us kindness to/for face: before king Persia to/for to give: give to/for us recovery to/for to exalt [obj] house: temple God our and to/for to stand: rise [obj] desolation his and to/for to give: give to/for us wall in/on/with Judea and in/on/with Jerusalem
Though we are slaves, our God has not forsaken us in our bondage, but He has extended to us grace in the sight of the kings of Persia, giving us new life to rebuild the house of our God and repair its ruins, and giving us a wall of protection in Judah and Jerusalem.
10 and now what? to say God our after this for to leave: forsake commandment your
And now, our God, what can we say after this? For we have forsaken the commandments
11 which to command in/on/with hand: by servant/slave your [the] prophet to/for to say [the] land: country/planet which you(m. p.) to come (in): come to/for to possess: take her land: country/planet impurity he/she/it in/on/with impurity people [the] land: country/planet in/on/with abomination their which to fill her from lip: edge to(wards) lip: edge in/on/with uncleanness their

Now, therefore, do not give your daughters in marriage to their sons or take their daughters for your sons. Never seek their peace or prosperity, so that you may be strong and may eat the good things of the land, leaving it as an inheritance to your sons forever.’
13 and after all [the] to come (in): come upon us in/on/with deed our [the] bad: evil and in/on/with guiltiness our [the] great: large for you(m. s.) God our to withhold to/for beneath from iniquity: crime our and to give: give to/for us survivor like/as this
After all that has come upon us because of our evil deeds and our great guilt (though You, our God, have punished us less than our iniquities deserve and have given us such a remnant as this),
14 to return: again to/for to break commandment your and to/for be related in/on/with people [the] abomination [the] these not be angry in/on/with us till to end: destroy to/for nothing remnant and survivor
shall we again break Your commandments and intermarry with the peoples who commit these abominations? Would You not become so angry with us as to wipe us out, leaving no remnant or survivor?
15 LORD God Israel righteous you(m. s.) for to remain survivor like/as [the] day: today [the] this look! we to/for face: before your in/on/with guiltiness our for nothing to/for to stand: stand to/for face: before your upon this
O LORD, God of Israel, You are righteous! For we remain this day as a remnant. Here we are before You in our guilt, though because of it no one can stand before You.”
