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.
Now when these things were done, the princes drew near unto 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 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; so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the peoples of the lands; yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been first in this faithlessness.'
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 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 appalled.
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.
Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the faithlessness of them of the captivity; and I sat appalled until the evening offering.
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 offering I arose up from my fasting, even with my garment and my mantle rent; and I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto 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 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 is grown up unto the heavens.
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.
Since the days of our fathers we have been exceeding guilty 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 spoiling, and to confusion of face, as it is 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 for a little moment grace hath been shown from the LORD 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 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; yet our God 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 God, and to repair the ruins thereof, and to give us a fence in Judah and in 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 Thy servants the prophets, saying: The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land through the uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, through their abominations, wherewith they have filled it from one end to another with their filthiness.
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 unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity 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 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 evil deeds, and for our great guilt, seeing that Thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such a remnant,
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?
shall we again break Thy commandments, and make marriages with the peoples that do these abominations? wouldest not Thou be angry with us till Thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape?
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, the God of Israel, Thou art 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.'
