< Ezera 9 >
1 A PAU keia mau mea i ka hanaia, hele mai na luna ia'u, i mai la, O na kanaka o ka Iseraela, a me na kahuna, a me na Levi, aole lakou i hookaawale ia lakou iho mai na kanaka o na aina aku, e hana ana no e like me na mea hoopailua o ka Kanaana, o ka Heta, o ka Periza, o ka Iebusa, o ka Amona, a me ka Aigupita, a me ka Amora.
When as these things were done, the rulers came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the Priestes, and the Leuites are not separated from the people of the lands (as touching their abominations) to wit, of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Iebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.
2 A ua lawe lakou i na kaikamahine a lakou i wahine na lakou, a na ka lakou mau keikikane; a ua hui pu ka poe laa ia lakou iho me na kanaka e na aina; a o na haku, a me na luna, o lakou ke kumu o keia hewa.
For they haue taken their daughters to theselues, and to their sonnes, and they haue mixed the holy seede with the people of the landes, and the hande of the princes and rulers hath bene chiefe in this trespasse.
3 A lohe au i keia mea, haehae iho la au i kuu lole komo, a me kuu aahu, a huki aku la i ke oho o kuu poo, a me kuu umiumi, a noho pilihua iho la au.
But when I heard this saying, I rent my clothes and my garment, and pluckt off the heare of mine head, and of my beard, and sate downe astonied.
4 Alaila houluuluia ae la io'u nei ka poe a pau i haalulu i na olelo a ke Akua o ka Iseraela, no ka hewa o ka poe i pio; a noho pilihua iho la au, a hiki i ka mohai ahiahi.
And there assembled vnto me all that feared the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of them of the captiuitie. And I sate downe astonied vntil the euening sacrifice.
5 A i ka mohai ahiahi ku ae la au mai kuu kanmaha ana, a haehae iho la i kuu lole komo, a me kuu aahu, kukuli iho la au, a hohola aku la i kuu mau lima ia Iehova i ko'u Akua.
And at the euening sacrifice I arose vp from mine heauinesse, and when I had rent my clothes and my garment, I fell vpon my knees, and spred out mine hands vnto the Lord my God,
6 I aku la, E kuu Akua e, ua hilahila wau, ua wiwo hoi, ke nana ae ko'u mau maka ia oe, e kuu Akua: no ka mea, ua hoonuiia ko makou hewa maluna o ke poo, a ua hookiekieia ko makou hala i ka lani.
And said, O my God, I am confounded and ashamed, to lift vp mine eyes vnto thee my God: for our iniquities are increased ouer our head, and our trespasse is growen vp vnto the heauen.
7 Mai ka manawa o ko makou poe makua, ua noho makou iloko o ka hewa nui, a hiki i keia manawa; a uo ko makou hewa, i haawiia makou, a me ko makou mau alii, a me ko makou poe kahuna, iloko o ka lima o na'lii o na aina e, i ka pahikaua, a i ka lawe pio ana, a i ka lukuia, a i ka hilahila o na maka, e like me ia i keia la.
From the dayes of our fathers haue we bin in a great trespasse vnto this day, and for our iniquities haue we, our Kings, and our Priestes bene deliuered into the hand of the kings of the lands, vnto the sword, into captiuitie, into a spoyle, and into confusion of face, as appeareth this day.
8 Ano i ka wa pokole, ua ahonuiia makoa, mai Iehova ko makou Akua mai, e waiho mai no makou i kekahi poe i pakele, a e haawi mai ia makou i ka onipaa ana ma kona wahi hoano, i hoomalamalama mai ai ke Akua i ko makou maka, a i haawi mai ai i wahi oluolu iki iloko o ko makou luhi.
And now for a litle space grace hath bene shewed from the Lord our God, in causing a remnant to escape, and in giuing vs a nayle in his holy place, that our God may light our eyes, and giue vs a litle reuiuing in our seruitude.
9 No ka mea, he poe makou i hooluhiia; aka, aole i haalele mai ko makou Akua ia makou i ko makou luhi ana, a ua haawi mai ia makou i ka lokomaikaiia imua o na'lii o Peresia, e haawi mai ia makou i ka oluolu, e kukulu i ka hale o ko makou Akua, a e hana hou i kona mau wahi i hiolo, a e haawi ia makou i wahi pa ma Iuda a ma Ierusalema.
For though we were bondmen, yet our God hath not forsaken vs in our bondage, but hath enclined mercy vnto vs in the sight of the Kings of Persia, to giue vs life, and to erect the house of our God, and to redresse the places thereof, and to giue vs a wall in Iudah and in Ierusalem.
10 Ano, e ko makou Akua, heaha ka makou e olelo aku ai mahope o keia? no ka mea, ua haalelo makou i kau mau kauoha,
And nowe, our God, what shall we say after this? for we haue forsaken thy commandements,
11 Na mea au i kauoha mai ai ma ka lima o kau poe kauwa, na kaula, i mai la, O ka aina, kahi a oukou e hele ai a komo, he aina haumia i ka mea haumia o na kanaka o na aina, me ko lakou mea hoopailua, na mea a lakou i hoopiha ai me ko lakou mau mea pelapela mai kela aoao, a hiki i keia aoao.
Which thou hast commanded by thy seruants the Prophets, saying, The land whereunto ye go to possesse it, is an vncleane land, because of the filthines of the people of the lands, which by their abominations, and by their vncleannes haue filled it from corner to corner.
12 No ia mea, mai haawi aku oukou i ka oukou poe kaikamahine na ka lakou mau keikikane, a mai lawe hoi i ka lakou mau kaikamahine na ka oukou poe keikikane, aole hoi e imi i ko lakou malu, a me ko lakou pono i na manawa a pau; i ikaika ai oukou, a ai hoi i ka maikai o ka aina, a e waiho aku ia i wahi e noho ai no ka oukou poe keiki i ka manawa pau ole.
Now therfore shall ye not giue your daughters vnto their sonnes, neither shall ye take their daughters vnto your sonnes, nor seeke their peace nor wealth for euer, that yee may be strong and eate the goodnes of the lande, and leaue it for an inheritance to your sonnes for euer.
13 A mahope o na mea a pau i hiki mai ai maluna o makou no ka makou hana hewa ana, a me ko makou lawehala nui ana, no ka mea, o oe ko makou Akua, ua hoopai unku mai ia makou i ko makou hewa, a ua haawi mai oe no makou i ka pakele e like me keia.
And after all that is come vpon vs for our euill deedes, and for our great trespasses, (seeing that thou our God hast stayed vs from being beneath for our iniquities, and hast giuen vs such deliuerance)
14 E haihai hou anei makou i kau mau kauoha, a e mare makou me na kanaka o keia mau mea haumia? aole anei oe e huhu mai ia makou, a hoopau mai oe ia makou, aohe mea koe, aohe mea pakele?
Should we returne to breake thy commadements, and ioyne in affinitie with the people of such abominations? wouldest not thou be angrie towarde vs till thou haddest consumed vs, so that there should be no remnant nor any escaping?
15 E Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, he pono kou; no ka, mea, ke koe nei makou e pakele ana, e like me ia i keia la; eia hoi makou imua ou iloko o ko makou hala; no ka mea, aole e hiki ia makou ke ku imua ou no keia mea.
O Lord God of Israel, thou art iust, for we haue bene reserued to escape, as appeareth this day: beholde, we are before thee in our trespasse: therfore we canot stand before thee because of it.
