King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Now
when
these things were
done
, the
princes
came
to
me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves
from the people
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.
And
at
the
completion
of
these things, drawn
nigh
unto
me have
the
heads
, saying, `
The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not been
separated from the peoples
of the lands, as
to their abominations, even the Canaanite
, the Hittite
, the Perizzite
, the Jebusite
, the Ammonite
, the Moabite
, the Egyptian
, and the Amorite,
For they have taken of their daughters for
themselves
, and for
their sons :
so
that
the holy seed have mingled themselves with
the people
of those
lands :
yea
, the hand of the princes
and rulers
hath
been chief
in this trespass.
for they have taken of their daughters to
them
, and to
their sons ,
and
the holy seed have mingled themselves among
the peoples
of the
lands, and
the hand of the heads
and of
the
seconds
have
been first
in this trespass. '
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
astonied.
And at
my
hearing
this word
, I have
rent my garment and my upper
robe
, and pluck
out
of
the hair of my head ,
and of my beard, and sit
astonished,
Then
were
assembled
unto me every one that
trembled
at the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression
of those
that
had
been
carried
away;
and I sat
astonied
until
the evening sacrifice
.
and
unto me are
gathered
every one trembling
at the words of the God of Israel, because of the trespass
of the
removal,
and I am
sitting
astonished
till
the present
of
the
evening.
And at the evening sacrifice
I arose
up
from my
heaviness;
and having
rent
my garment and my mantle
, I fell
upon
my knees, and spread out my hands unto the
LORD
my God,
And at the present
of
the
evening I have
risen
from mine
affliction,
and at
my rending
my
garment and my upper
robe
, then
I bow
down
on
my knees, and spread out my hands unto Jehovah
my God,
And 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 trespass
is
grown
up
unto the heavens.
and say
, `
O my God, I have
been
ashamed ,
and have
blushed
to lift up ,
O
my God,
my
face unto
Thee, for our iniquities have
increased over the
head, and our guilt
hath
become
great
unto the heavens.
Since
the days of our fathers have
we been
in a
great trespass
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
a
spoil
, and to
confusion
of face, as it
is
this day.
`From
the days of our fathers we `are'
in great guilt
unto this day ,
and in
our iniquities we
have been
given
--
we, our kings, our priests --
into the hand of the kings of the lands, with
sword, with
captivity, and with
spoiling
, and with
shame
of face, as `at'
this day.
And now for
a little
space
grace
hath been shewed
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.
`
And now ,
as
a small
moment
hath grace
been from Jehovah
our God, to leave to us
an
escape, and to give to
us a nail in His holy place, by
our God's
enlightening
our eyes, and by
giving
us a little quickening
in our servitude;
For we were
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
desolations
thereof
, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.
for servants
we `are',
and
in
our servitude
our
God hath not forsaken us, and
stretcheth
out
unto us kindness
before
the kings of Persia, to give to
us a quickening
to lift
up the house of our God, and to cause
its
wastes
to
cease
, and to give to
us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.
And now, O our God, what
shall
we
say
after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments
,
`
And now, what
do
we
say,
O our God, after this? for we have forsaken Thy commands
,
Which
thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land ,
unto
which ye go
to possess it, is an
unclean
land with
the filthiness
of the people of the lands, with
their abominations ,
which have filled it from one
end
to
another
with
their uncleanness .
that
Thou hast commanded by the
hands
of
thy servants the prophets, saying, The land into
which ye are
going
to possess it, `
is '
a
land of
impurity,
by
the impurity
of the people of the lands, by
their abominations with
which they
have filled it --
from mouth
unto
mouth
--
by
their uncleanness ;
Now therefore
give
not
your daughters unto
their sons, neither
take
their daughters unto
your sons, nor
seek their peace or
their wealth
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
.
and
now ,
your daughters ye
do
not
give
to
their sons, and
their daughters ye
do
not
take
to
your sons, and
ye
do
not
seek their peace ,
and
their good
--
unto
the
age,
so
that ye are
strong, and have
eaten
the good of the land, and given
possession
to your sons
unto
the
age
.
And after all that is
come upon us for our evil deeds
, and for our great trespass,
seeing
that
thou our God hast punished
us
less
than
our iniquities deserve
, and hast given us such
deliverance
as
this ;
`
And after all that hath
come upon us for our evil works
, and for our great guilt
(for
Thou ,
O
our God ,
hast kept
back
of
the
rod
from
our iniquities, and hast given to
us an
escape
like
this ),
Should
we again
break thy commandments
, and join in affinity
with the people of these abominations? wouldest
not thou be
angry with
us till thou
hadst
consumed
us,
so
that
there should
be
no remnant nor
escaping
?
do
we turn
back
to
break Thy commands
, and to
join ourselves
in marriage
with the people of these abominations? art
not Thou angry against
us --
even
to
consumption
--
till there is
no remnant and
escaped
part
?
O LORD
God of Israel, thou
art
righteous :
for we remain
yet
escaped
, as it is this day :
behold
, we are before thee in our trespasses:
for we
cannot
stand before thee because
of
this.
`
O Jehovah,
God of Israel, righteous `art'
Thou,
for we have
been
left
an
escape
, as `
it is '
this day ;
lo
, we `
are '
before Thee in our guilt,
for there
is
none
to
stand before Thee concerning
this. '
