Ezra 9
1 Bayan an yi waɗannan abubuwa duka, sai shugabanni suka zo wurina suka ce, “Mutanen Isra’ila, har da firistoci da Lawiyawa ba su keɓe kansu daga maƙwabtansu ba, ba su kuma keɓe kansu daga irin rayuwar ƙazantar mutanen ƙasar ba, wato, rayuwar irinta Kan’aniyawa, da Hittiyawa, da Ferizziyawa, da Yebusiyawa, da Ammonawa, da Mowabawa, da Masarawa da Amoriyawa.
Now when these things were done, the rulers drew near to 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.
2 Sun auro wa kansu da’ya’yansu’yan mata mutanen nan, ta haka aka kwaɓa zuriyar da aka tsarkake da ta mutanen nan da suke tare da su. Shugabanni da manyan ma’aikata su ne a gaba-gaba a aikata wannan abin kunya.”
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 heads and rulers has been chief in this trespass.
3 Sa’ad da na ji wannan, sai na yaga rigata da alkyabbata, na tsittsige gashin kaina da na gemuna, na zauna, na rasa abin da yake mini daɗi.
And when I heard this thing, I tore my garment and my robe, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down confounded.
4 Sai duk waɗanda suke tsoron maganar Allah na Isra’ila suka kewaye ni don su ji wannan rashin imani wanda waɗanda suka dawo bauta suka yi. Na kuwa zauna a can a rikice, har lokacin miƙa hadaya na yamma.
Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel were assembled to me, because of the trespass of those of the captivity, and I sat confounded until the evening oblation.
5 Sa’an nan a lokacin miƙa hadaya na yamma, na tashi da ɓacin raina, da yagaggun kayana, na durƙusa na miƙa hannuwana sama ga Ubangiji Allahna
And at the evening oblation I arose up from my humiliation, even with my garment and my robe torn, and I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands to Jehovah my God,
6 na kuma yi addu’a, na ce, “Ya Allah, ina cike da kunya, ba zan iya ɗaga fuskata gare ka ba, ya Allahna, domin zunubanmu sun fi mu tsayi, tudunsu har ya kai sama.
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 has grown up to the heavens.
7 Tun daga zamanin kakanninmu har zuwa yanzu, zunubanmu suna da yawa. Domin zunubanmu, mu da sarakunanmu, da firistocinmu aka kama mu, aka wulaƙanta mu, muka zama bayi a hannun sarakuna waɗansu ƙasashe.
Since the days of our fathers we have been exceedingly guilty to 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 plunder, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.
8 “Amma a yanzu a wannan ɗan lokaci Ubangiji Allahnmu ya yi mana jinƙai, ya bar mana saura, ya kuma ba mu wuri a wurinsa mai tsarki, ya kuma ba mu ganin haske, ya ɗan rage mana nauyin bauta.
And now for a little moment grace has been shown from Jehovah 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.
9 Ko da yake mu bayi ne, Allahnmu bai yashe mu cikin daurin talala da muke ciki ba, ya sa sarakunan Farisa suka yi mana kirki. Ya ba mu sabuwar dama don mu sāke gina haikalin Allahnmu, mu kuma gyara katangar, ya kuma ba mu kāriya a Yahuda da Urushalima.
For we are bondmen, yet our God has not forsaken us in our bondage, but has extended loving kindness to 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 of it, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.
10 “Amma yanzu, ya Allahnmu, me za mu ce game da wannan? Gama mun ƙi bin
And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken thy commandments,
11 dokokin da ka bayar ta wurin annabawa lokacin da ka ce, ‘Ƙasar da za ku mallaka, ƙasa ce marar tsarki, mutanenta sun ɓata ta da ƙazamin hali, ƙazamin halinsu ya ɓata ko’ina.
which thou have commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, to 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.
12 Saboda haka kada ku aurar musu da’yan matanku, kada kuma ku auro wa’ya’yanku maza’yan matansu. Kada ku yi wata yarjejjeniya ta abokantaka da su. Idan kun yi biyayya za ku yi ƙarfi, ku kuma ci albarkar ƙasar, har ku bar wa’ya’yanku gādo na har abada.’
Now therefore do not give your daughters to their sons, neither take their daughters to your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity forever, that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your sons forever.
13 “Abubuwan nan sun faru da mu sakamakon mugayen ayyukanmu ne, amma duk da haka ya Allahnmu, ba ka ba mu horo bisa ga yawan zunubanmu ba, ka kuma bar mana saura.
And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great guilt, seeing that thou our God have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us such a remnant,
14 Za mu sāke ƙin yin biyayya da umarninka mu yi auratayya da mutanen nan da suke aikata waɗannan abubuwan banƙyama? Ba za ka yi fushi da mu, ka ƙone mu da fushinka har babu ɗan saura ba?
shall we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the peoples who do these abominations? Would thou not be angry with us till thou had consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape?
15 Ya Ubangiji Allah na Isra’ila, kai mai adalci ne! Yau an bar mu da sauran da ya tsira. Ga mu nan a gabanka masu zunubi, gama ba wanda zai iya tsayawa a gabanka.”
O Jehovah, the God of Israel, thou are 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.
