< Ezra 9 >

1 Forsothe after that these thingis weren fillid, the princes neiyeden to me, and seiden, The puple of Israel, and the prestis, and dekenes, ben not depertid fro the `puplis of londis, and fro abhominaciouns of hem, that is, of Cananei, of Ethei, and of Pheresei, and of Jebusei, and of Amonytis, and of Moabitis, and of Egipcians, and of Ammorreis.
Pea ʻi he fai ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe haʻu ai ʻae ngaahi houʻeiki kiate au, ʻo pehē, ʻOku teʻeki vahevahe ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai ʻo ʻIsileli, mo e kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai, mei he kakai ʻoe ngaahi fonua, ʻi he fai ʻo fakatatau ki heʻenau ngaahi angakovi, ʻio, ʻoe kakai Kēnani, mo e kakai Heti, mo e kakai Pelesi, mo e kakai Sepusi, mo e kakai ʻAmoni, mo e kakai ʻAmoli.
2 For thei han take `of her douytris wyues to hem silf, and to her sones, and thei han medlid hooli seed with the puplis of londis; also the hond of princes and of magistratis was the firste in this trespassyng.
He kuo nau ʻomi honau ngaahi ʻofefine moʻonautolu, pea mo honau ngaahi foha: ko ia kuo fakafehakoʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻe he hako māʻoniʻoni mo e kakai ʻoe ngaahi fonua ko ia: ʻio, kuo kau lahi ʻae nima ʻoe houʻeiki mo e ngaahi pule ʻi he meʻa hala ni.
3 And whanne Y hadde herd this word, Y torente my mentil and coote, and Y pullide awei the heeris of myn heed and berd, and Y sat morenynge.
Pea ʻi heʻeku fanongo ki he meʻa ni, naʻaku hae hoku kofu mo hoku pulupulu, peau fusi hoku ngaahi fulufuluʻi ʻulu mei hoku ʻulu, pea mo ʻeku kava, peau nofo ki lalo ʻo tāfuʻua.
4 Forsothe alle that dredden the word of God of Israel camen togidere to me, for the trespassyng of hem that weren comun fro caitifte; and Y sat sori `til to the sacrifice of euentid.
Pea naʻe kātoa kiate au ʻakinautolu taki taha kotoa pē naʻe tetetete ki he ngaahi folofola ʻae ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e meʻa ʻi he talangataʻa ʻokinautolu naʻe fetuku fakapōpula: peau nofo tāfuʻua pe ʻo aʻu ki he feilaulau fakaefiafi.
5 And in the sacrifice of euentid Y roos fro myn afflicioun, and aftir that Y to-rente the mentil and coote, Y bowide my knees, and I spredde abrood myn hondis to `my Lord God,
Pea ʻi he feilaulau fakaefiafi ne u tuʻu hake mei heʻeku māfasia; peau hae hoku kofu mo hoku pulupulu, peau tūʻulutui ʻi hoku tui, peau mafao atu hoku nima kia Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua,
6 and Y seide, My God, Y am confoundid and aschamed to reise my face to thee, for oure wickidnessis ben multiplied `on myn heed, and oure trespassis encreessiden `til to heuene,
Pea naʻaku pehē, “ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku ou mā pea kula hoku mata ke hiki hake hoku mata kiate koe, ʻe hoku ʻOtua: he kuo tupu ʻo lahi hake ʻemau ngaahi hia ʻi ʻolunga ki homau ʻulu, pea ko ʻemau fai hala kuo tupu hake ki he ngaahi langi.
7 fro the daies of oure fadris; but also we vs silf han synned greuousli `til to this dai, and for our wickidnessis we, and oure kyngis, and oure prestis ben bitakun in the hondis of kyngis of londis, bothe in to swerd, and in to caitifte, in to raueyn, and in to schenship of cheer, as also in this dai.
Talu mei he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻemau ngaahi tamai kuo mau moʻua ʻi he hala lahi ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni; pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻemau ngaahi hia, naʻe tukuange ai ʻakimautolu, mo homau ngaahi tuʻi, mo homau ngaahi taulaʻeiki, ki he nima ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻoe ngaahi fonua, ki he heletā, pea ki he pōpula, pea ki he maumau, pea ki he puputuʻu ʻoe mata, ʻo hangē ʻi he ʻaho ni.
8 And now as at a litil and at a moment oure preier is maad anentis `oure Lord God, that relikis schulden be left to vs, and that `his pees schulde be youun in his hooli place, and that oure God schulde liytne oure iyen, and yyue to vs a litil lijf in oure seruage.
Pea ko eni kuo fakahā ʻae ʻofa kiate kimautolu ʻi he kuonga siʻi meia Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, ke tuku kiate kimautolu ha toenga [kakai], ke hoa, pea ke tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae faʻo ʻi hono potu māʻoniʻoni, koeʻuhi ke fakamaama homau mata ʻe homau ʻOtua, pea foaki kiate kimautolu ʻae fakaakeake siʻi ʻi homau nofo pōpula.
9 For we ben seruauntis, and oure God forsoke vs not in oure seruage; and he bowide merci on vs bifor the king of Persis, that he schulde yyue lijf to vs, and enhaunse the hows of oure God, and that he schulde bilde the wildernessis therof, and yyue to vs hope in Juda and in Jerusalem.
He ko e kau tangata hopoate ʻakimautolu; ka naʻe ʻikai liʻaki ʻakimautolu ʻe homau ʻOtua ʻi heʻemau nofo pōpula, ka kuo fakahoko ʻae ʻofa kiate kimautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Peasia, ke tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae fakaakeake, ke fokotuʻu ʻae fale ʻo homau ʻOtua, pea ke fakafoʻou hono ngaahi potu maumau pea ke foaki kiate kimautolu ʻae ʻā maka ʻi Siuta pea ʻi Selūsalema.
10 And now, `oure Lord God, what schulen we seie after these thingis? For we han forsake thi comaundementis,
Pea ko eni, ʻE homau ʻOtua, ko e hā te mau lea [ʻaki ]hili ʻae meʻa ni kotoa pē? He kuo mau liʻaki hoʻo ngaahi fekau,
11 whiche thou comaundidist in the hond of thi seruauntis profetis, and seidist, The lond, to which ye schulen entre, to holde it in possessioun, is an vnclene lond, bi the vnclennesse of puplis, and of othere londis, in the abhomynaciouns of hem, that filliden it with her defoulyng, fro the mouth `til to the mouth.
‌ʻAia naʻa ke fekau ʻi hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita, ʻo pehē, Ko e fonua ʻoku mou ʻalu ke maʻu, ko e fonua taʻemaʻa ia ʻi he ngaahi angaʻuli ʻoe kakai ʻoe ngaahi fonua, mo ʻenau ngaahi angakovi, ʻaia kuo nau fakafonu ʻaki ia mei hono potu ʻe taha ki hono potu ʻe taha ʻi heʻenau anga taʻemaʻa;
12 Now therfor yiue ye not youre douytris to her sones, and take ye not her douytris to youre sones; and seke ye not the pees of hem and the prosperite `of hem `til in to with outen ende; that ye be coumfortid, and ete the goodis, that ben of the lond, and that ye haue eiris, youre sones, `til in to `the world.
Pea ko eni, ʻoua naʻa mou foaki homou ngaahi ʻofefine ki honau ngaahi foha, pea ʻoua naʻa mou toʻo honau ngaahi ʻofefine mo homou ngaahi foha, pea ʻoua naʻa mou kumi ki heʻenau melino pe ki heʻenau koloa ʻo taʻengata: koeʻuhi ke mou mālohi, pea kai ʻae lelei ʻoe fonua, pea tuku ia ko e ʻapi tofiʻa ki hoʻomou fānau ke taʻengata.
13 And after alle thingis that camen on vs in oure werste werkis, and in oure grete trespas, for thou, oure God, hast delyuered vs fro oure wickidnesse, and hast youe helthe to vs,
Pea hili ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kuo tō kiate kimautolu ʻi heʻemau ngaahi ngāue kovi, pea ʻi heʻemau hala lahi, he ko koe ko homau ʻOtua kuo siʻi hifo hao tautea ʻakimautolu kae lahi ʻemau ngaahi hia, pea kuo ke tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae ngaahi fakamoʻui pehē ni;
14 as `it is to dai, that we schulden not be turned, and make voide thi comaundementis, and that we schulden not ioyne matrimonyes with the puplis of these abhomynacouns. Whether thou art wrooth to vs `til to the endyng, that thou schuldist not leeue to us remenauntis, and helthe?
He te mau toe liʻaki hoʻo ngaahi fekau, pea hoko ʻo fakataha ʻakimautolu mo e kakai ʻoe ngaahi angakovi ni? Pea ʻikai te ke houhau ai kiate kimautolu ke ʻoua ke fakaʻauha ʻakimautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai ha niʻihi ʻe toe, pe ha meʻa ke hao ai?
15 Lord God of Israel, thou art iust; for we ben left, that schulden be sauyd as in this day, lo! we ben bifor thee in oure synne; for me may `not stonde bifor thee on this thing.
‌ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku ke māʻoniʻoni koe: he ʻoku mau kei nofo hao pe, ʻo hangē ko e ʻaho ni: vakai, ʻoku mau ʻi ho ʻao ʻi heʻemau ngaahi angahala: he ʻoku ʻikai te mau faʻa tuʻu ʻi ho ʻao koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni.”
