Ezra 9
1 “Idi nalpas dagitoy a banbanag, immasideg kaniak dagiti opisial ket kinunada, 'Dagiti tattao ti Israel, dagiti padi, ken dagiti Levita ket saanda nga inlasin dagiti bagida manipud kadagiti kinarimon dagiti tattao iti sabali a daga a: Canaanita, Heteo, Perezeo, Jebuseo, ken Ammonitas, Moabitas, Egipcios, ken dagiti Amoreos.
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 Gapu ta innalada dagiti dadduma nga annakda a babbai ken lallaki, ket inlaokda dagiti nasantoan a tattao kadagiti tattao iti sabali a daga. Ket dagiti pay opisial ken mangidadaulo ti nangiyun-una iti daytoy a kina-awan ti pammati.'
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 Idi nangngegko daytoy, rinay-abko ti pagan-anay ken ti kagayko ken pinarutko dagiti buok iti ulok ken ti barbasko. Ket nagtugawak a mababain.
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 Amin dagidiay a nagtigerger iti sasao ti Dios ti Israel maipanggep iti daytoy a kinaawan pammati ket naguummong iti ayanko kabayatan nga agtugtugawak a mababain agingga iti rabii a panagidatag iti daton.
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 Ngem iti panagidaton iti rabii, nagtakderak manipud iti pwesto a nakaibabainak a naray-ab ti pagan-anay ken kagayko, nagparintumengak ket inyunnatko dagiti imak kenni Yahweh a Diosko.
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 Kinunak: 'Diosko, mababainak unay a mangitangad iti rupak kenka, ta nangatngaton dagiti nadagsen a basolmi ngem ti ulomi, ken dimmanonen kadagiti langit ti biddutmi.
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 Manipud kadagiti al-aldaw dagiti kapuonanmi agingga ita ket adun ti nagbasolanmi. Gapu kadagiti nadagsen a basolmi, dakami, dagiti arimi, ken dagiti padimi ket naipaimakami kadagiti ari iti daytoy a lubong, iti kampilan, iti pannaka-ibalud, ken iti pannakasamsam ken iti pannakaibabain, kas iti kasasaadmi ita.
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 Ngem ita, iti apagbiit a tiempo, immay ti asi manipud kenni Yahweh a Diosmi a nangibati kadakami kadagiti dadduma a nakalasat ken mangted kadakami iti namnama iti nasantoan a lugarna. Ti Dios ti nanglawag kadagiti matami ken nangted iti bassit nga inana manipud iti pannakatagabumi.
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 Ta tagabukami, ngem saannakami a nalipatan ti Diosmi ngem pinagtalinaedna ti kinapudnona iti tulagna kadakami. Inaramidna daytoy iti imatang ti ari ti Persia tapno pabilgennakami, tapno maibangonmi manen ti balay iti Diosmi ken maitarimaan dagiti dadaelna. Inaramidna daytoy tapno maikkanakami iti pader iti pannakasalaknib idiay Juda ken Jerusalem.
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 Ngem ita, O Diosmi, ania ti makunami kalpasan daytoy? Nalipatanmi dagiti bilinmo,
And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments,
11 dagiti bilin nga intedmo kadagiti adipenmo a dagiti profeta, idi imbagam, “Daytoy a daga a serserkanyo tapno tagikuaen ket narugit a daga. Rinugitan daytoy dagiti tattao iti daga babaen kadagiti makarimon nga aramidda. Agsinumbangir a pinunnoda daytoy babaen kadagiti kinarugitda.
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 Isu nga ita, saanmo nga ipaasawa dagiti annakmo a babbai kadagiti annakda a lallaki; saanmo nga ipaasawa kadagiti annakmo a lallaki kadagiti annakda a babbai, ken saanyo a sapulen ti madama a kinatalna ken ti kinarang-ayda, tapno pumigsakayo ken kanenyo ti nasayaat iti daga, tapno tawiddento daytoy dagiti annakyo iti agnanayon.”
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 Ngem kalpasan ti amin a dimteng kadakami gapu kadagiti dakes nga aramidmi ken kadagiti nakaro a basolmi—agsipud ta sika, a Diosmi, binabawim ti maikari a dusa kadagiti nadagsen a nagbasolanmi ket intulokmo a makalasatkami—
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 salungasingenmi kadi manen dagiti bilbilinmo ket makiasawa kadagitoy a makarimon a tattao? Saankanto kadi a makaunget ket ikisapnakami tapno awan ti uray maysa a mabati ket awan ti uray maysa a makalibas?
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 Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, nalintegka, ta nagtalinaedkami a bassit a nakalasat iti daytoy nga aldaw. Adtoy! Adda kami iti sangoanam kadagiti biddutmi, ta awan ti uray maysa a makatakder iti sangoanam gapu iti daytoy.”'
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.
