Ukuphikisa kuka-Ezra
1Kwathi lezo zinto sezenzekile, izikhulu zeza kimi, zathi: “Abantu bakwa-Israyeli nabapristi namaLevi abazahlukanisanga nabantu bamazwe ngokwenza izinengiso zabo kumaKhanani namaHeti, namaPherizi, namaJebusi, nama-Amoni, namaMowabi, namaGibhithe, nama-Amori.
2Bazithathela wona namadodakazi abo amanye amadodakazi abo, ukuze inzalo engcwele yahlangana nabantu balawo mazwe; yebo, isandla sezikhulu nezikhulu sasiyinhloko kulesi siphambeko.
3Lapho ngizwa lokho, ngaklebhula ingubo yami nejazi lami, ngahluthula izinwele zekhanda lami nesilevu sami, ngahlala phansi ngimangele.
4Base bebuthana kimi bonke abathuthumela ngamazwi kaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ngenxa yesiphambeko somhambi; ngahlala ngimangele kwaze kwaba ngumnikelo wakusihlwa.
5Futhi ngasukuma ngokumelene nomhlatshelo wakusihlwa ekucindezelekeni kwami; ngasengiklebhula ingubo yami nejazi lami, ngaguqa ngamadolo, ngelulela izandla zami kuJehova uNkulunkulu wami,
6ngathi: “O Nkulunkulu wami, nginamahloni, nginamahloni ukuphakamisa ubuso bami kuwe, Nkulunkulu wami, ngokuba iziphambeko zethu zandile phezu kwamakhanda ethu, neziphambeko zethu zikhule zaze zafika ezulwini.
7Kusukela ezinsukwini zawobaba sisonile kakhulu kuze kube namuhla; futhi ngenxa yeziphambeko zethu, thina, amakhosi ethu nabapristi bethu, sanikelwa esandleni samakhosi amazwe enkembeni, ekuthunjweni nasekuphangweni nasekujabheni ubuso, njengoba kunjalo namuhla.
8Manje isihawu sikaJehova uNkulunkulu wethu senziwe ngokwesikhashana nje ukusishiyela insali ephunyukileyo, nokusinika isikhonkwane endlini yakhe engcwele, ukuze uNkulunkulu wethu akhanyisele amehlo ethu, asinike ukuvuselela endaweni yakhe engcwele ubugqila bethu.
9Ngoba sasiyizigqili; nokho uNkulunkulu wethu akasishiyanga ebugqilini bethu, kepha wasenzela umusa emehlweni amakhosi asePheresiya ukuba asinike ukuvuselela, sakhe indlu kaNkulunkulu wethu, silungise amanxiwa ayo, sinikeze ugange kwaJuda, eJerusalema.
10Manje, O Nkulunkulu wethu, siyakuthini ngemva kwalokhu? ngoba siyishiyile imiyalo yakho.
11Owayala ngezinceku zakho abaprofethi ngokuthi: ‘Izwe eningena kulo ukulidla liyizwe elingcolile nokungcola kwabantu bamazwe nezinengiso zabo, eligcwaliswe komunye umkhawulo komunye. Ngokungcola kwabo.
12Manje ninganiki amadodana abo amadodakazi enu, ningawathatheli amadodana enu amadodakazi abo, ningafuni ukuthula kwawo nemfuyo yawo kuze kube phakade; izingane kuze kube phakade.
13Futhi ngemva kwakho konke okusehlele ngenxa yezenzo zethu ezimbi nangenxa yeziphambeko zethu ezinkulu, njengoba wena, Nkulunkulu wethu, wasijezisa kancane kunalokho okufanele ukona kwethu, futhi wasinika insindiso enjengale;
14Sibuye sephule imiyalo yakho, sizihlanganise nabantu balezi zinengiso na? ubungeke yini usithukuthelele uze usiqede, kungabikho nsali nophunyukayo na?
15Jehova Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ulungile, ngokuba sisaphunyukile njenganamuhla; bheka, siphambi kwakho eziphambekweni zethu, ngokuba ngalokho asinakuma phambi kwakho.
