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.
And after these things were accomplished, the princes came to me, saying: The people of Israel, and the priests and Levites have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, and from their abominations, namely, of the Chanaanites, and the Hethites, and the Pherezites, and the Jebusites, and the Ammonites, and the Moabites, and the Egyptians, and the Amorrhites.
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, and they have mingled the holy seed with the people of the lands. And the hand of the princes and magistrates hath been first in this transgression.
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 had heard this word, I rent my mantle and my coat, and plucked off the hairs of my head and my beard, and I sat down mourning.
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.
And there were assembled to me all that feared the God of Israel, because of the transgression of those that were come from the captivity, and I sat sorrowful, until the evening sacrifice.
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 sacrifice I rose up from my affliction, and having rent my mantle and my garment, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands to the Lord 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 said: My God I am confounded and ashamed to lift up my face to thee: for our iniquities are multiplied over our heads, and our sins are grown up even unto heaven,
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.
From the days of our fathers: and we ourselves also have sinned grievously unto this day, and for our iniquities we and our kings, and our priests have been delivered into the hands of the kings of the lands, and to the sword, and to captivity, and to spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is at 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 as a little, and for a moment has our prayer been made before the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant, and give us a pin in his holy place, and that our God would enlighten our eyes, and would give us a little life 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, and in our bondage our God hath not forsaken us, but hath extended mercy upon us before the king of the Persians, to give us life, and to set up the house of our God, and rebuild the desolations thereof, and to give us a fence in Juda and 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 hast commanded by the hand of thy servants the prophets, saying: The land which you go to possess, is an unclean land, according to the uncleanness of the people, and of other lands, with their abominations, who have filled it from mouth to mouth with their filth.
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 give not your daughters to their sons, and take not their daughters for your sons, and seek not their peace, nor their prosperity forever: that you may be strengthened, and may eat the good things of the land, and may have your children your heirs for ever.
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 is come upon us, for our most wicked deeds, and our great sin, seeing that thou our God hast saved us from our iniquity, and hast given us a deliverance as at this day,
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?
That we should not turn away, nor break thy commandments, nor join in marriage with the people of these abominations. Art thou angry with us unto utter destruction, not to leave us a remnant to be saved?
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 Lord God of Israel, thou art just: for we remain yet to be saved as at this day. Behold we are before thee in our sin, for there can be no standing before thee in this matter.
