Ezra 9
1 Kipindi mambo hayo yanatendeka, wakuu wakaja kwangu na kuniambia,”Watu wa Israel, Makuhani na walawi hawakuweza kujitenga wenyewe kutoka kwa watu wa nchi zingine na maovu yao: Wakanaani, Wahiti, Waperuzi, wayebusi, Waamoni, Wamoabu, Wamisri na Waamori.
and like/as to end: finish these to approach: approach to(wards) me [the] ruler to/for to say not to separate [the] people Israel and [the] priest and [the] Levi from people [the] land: country/planet like/as abomination their to/for Canaanite [the] Hittite [the] Perizzite [the] Jebusite [the] Ammon [the] Moabite [the] Egyptian and [the] Amorite
2 Kwa kuwa wamewachukua baadhi ya binti na watoto wa kiume, wamejichanganya watu watakatifu na watu wa nchi nyingine na wakuu na viongozi wamekuwa wa kwanza katika imani hii potofu.
for to lift: marry from daughter their to/for them and to/for son: child their and to pledge seed: children [the] holiness in/on/with people [the] land: country/planet and hand: power [the] ruler and [the] ruler to be in/on/with unfaithfulness [the] this first: chief
3 Niliposikia haya, nikachana nguo zangu na kanzu na kunyoa nywele kichwani na ndevu na nikakaa chini kutafakari.
and like/as to hear: hear I [obj] [the] word: thing [the] this to tear [obj] garment my and robe my and to smooth [emph?] from hair head my and beard my and to dwell [emph?] be desolate: appalled
4 Na wale wote waliotetemeka kwa neno la Mungu wa Israel kuhusu imani potofu walikusanyika kwangu wakati nimakaa chini nikiwa na aibu hadi kufikia kipindi cha sadaka za jioni.
and to(wards) me to gather all trembling in/on/with word God Israel upon unfaithfulness [the] captivity and I to dwell be desolate: appalled till to/for offering [the] evening
5 Lakini katika sadaka ya jioni nikasimama kwenye nafasi yangu nikiwa mnyenyekevu na nguo ilichanika na kanzu, na nikapiga magoti na kunyoosha mikono yangu kwa Yahwe Mungu wangu. Nikasema
and in/on/with offering [the] evening to arise: rise from fasting my and in/on/with to tear I garment my and robe my and to bow [emph?] upon knee my and to spread [emph?] palm my to(wards) LORD God my
6 “Mungu wangu, nina aibu na sistahili kuinua uso wangu kwako, makosa yetu yamekuwa hadi kuvuka kichwani na maovu yetu yameongezeka kufika mbinguni.
and to say [emph?] God my be ashamed and be humiliated to/for to exalt God my face my to(wards) you for iniquity: crime our to multiply to/for above [to] head and guiltiness our to magnify till to/for heaven
7 Kuanzia siku ya watangulizi wetu mpaka sasa tumekuwa katika maovu makuu. Makosa yetu, viongozi, makuhani, walikuwa katika mikono ya mfalme wa dunia hii, katika upanga, matekani na kunyanyaswa na tuna aibu ya uso hata leo.
from day father our we in/on/with guiltiness great: large till [the] day: daily [the] this and in/on/with iniquity: crime our to give: give we king our priest our in/on/with hand: power king [the] land: country/planet in/on/with sword in/on/with captivity and in/on/with plunder and in/on/with shame face of like/as [the] day: today [the] this
8 sasa kwa kipindi kifupi, neema kutoka kwa Yahwe Mungu wetu imekuja kutuacha mabaki wachache na kutupa kuhimmili sehemu takatifu. Hii ilikuwa ni kwa ajili ya Mungu wetu kututia nuru macho yetu na kutupa unafuuu sisi tulio watumwa.
and now like/as little moment to be supplication from with LORD God our to/for to remain to/for us survivor and to/for to give: give to/for us peg in/on/with place holiness his to/for to light eye our God our and to/for to give: give us recovery little in/on/with slavery our
9 Kwa kuwa sisi tu watumwa, lakini Mungu bado hajatusahau lakini ameongeza agano la uaminifu kwetu, ameyatenda haya mbele ya macho ya mfalme wa Uajemi ili kwamba haweze kutupatia nguvu mpya. Ili kwamba tuweze kujenga nyumba ya Mungu na tuweze kuondoa majuto. Alitenda hayo ili kwamba aweze kutupatia msingi wa usalama katika Yuda na Yerusalem.
for servant/slave we and in/on/with slavery our not to leave: forsake us God our and to stretch upon us kindness to/for face: before king Persia to/for to give: give to/for us recovery to/for to exalt [obj] house: temple God our and to/for to stand: rise [obj] desolation his and to/for to give: give to/for us wall in/on/with Judea and in/on/with Jerusalem
10 Lakini sasa Mungu wetu, tuseme nini baaada ya haya? Tumesahau amri zako.
and now what? to say God our after this for to leave: forsake commandment your
11 amri ambazo uliwapa manabii watumishi wako, pale uliposema, “Nchi hii mnayoingia kuimiliki ni nchi chafu. Imechanganyikana na watu wasio na utaratibu. ameenea kutoka sehemu moja hadi nyingine kwa uchafu wao.
which to command in/on/with hand: by servant/slave your [the] prophet to/for to say [the] land: country/planet which you(m. p.) to come (in): come to/for to possess: take her land: country/planet impurity he/she/it in/on/with impurity people [the] land: country/planet in/on/with abomination their which to fill her from lip: edge to(wards) lip: edge in/on/with uncleanness their
12 Hivyo sasa, msiwape binti zenu kwa watoto wao, msichukue binti zao kwa ajili ya watoto wenu, msitafute amani kwao na fadhili, ili kwamba muweze kuwa imara na kula vizuri vya nchi, hivyo utasababisha watoto wenu kumiliki kwa wakati wote.”
and now daughter your not to give: give(marriage) to/for son: child their and daughter their not to lift: marry to/for son: child your and not to seek peace their and welfare their till forever: enduring because to strengthen: strengthen and to eat [obj] goodness [the] land: country/planet and to possess: possess to/for son: child your till forever: enduring
13 Baada ya yote kutokea kwetu kwa sababu ya uovu wetu na makosa yetu makuu, tokea hapo, Mungu wetu, hukutazama makosa yetu na kutuadhibu tulivyostahili na ukatuacha kama mabaki.
and after all [the] to come (in): come upon us in/on/with deed our [the] bad: evil and in/on/with guiltiness our [the] great: large for you(m. s.) God our to withhold to/for beneath from iniquity: crime our and to give: give to/for us survivor like/as this
14 Tunaweza kuvunja tena amri zako na kuingiliana katika ndoa, na hawa watu wasiofuata utaratibu? Je hautachukia na kututowesha sote hakuna wa kubaki, hakuna wa kutoroka?
to return: again to/for to break commandment your and to/for be related in/on/with people [the] abomination [the] these not be angry in/on/with us till to end: destroy to/for nothing remnant and survivor
15 Yahwe, Mungu wa Israel, wewe ni mwenye haki, kwa kuwa tumebaki wachache mabaki hadi siku ya leo. Tazama, tuko mbele yako na makosa yetu, kwa kuwa hakuna hata mmoja anayeweza kusimama mbele kwa sababu ya hili.
LORD God Israel righteous you(m. s.) for to remain survivor like/as [the] day: today [the] this look! we to/for face: before your in/on/with guiltiness our for nothing to/for to stand: stand to/for face: before your upon this
