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 princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people 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 people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath 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 rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astonied.
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 were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the Elohim of Israel, because of the transgression of those that had been carried away; and I sat astonied 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 arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto YHWH my Elohim.
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, O my Elohim, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my Elohim: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto 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 have we been in a great trespass unto 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 a spoil, 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 space grace hath been shewed from YHWH our Elohim, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our Elohim 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 were bondmen; yet our Elohim hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our Elohim, and to repair the desolations thereof, 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 Elohim, 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 thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness.
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 unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children 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 evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our Elohim hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this;
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?
Should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping?
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 YHWH Elohim of Israel, thou art righteous: for we remain yet escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this.
