כִּ֣י נָשְׂא֣וּ מִבְּנֹתֵיהֶ֡ם לָהֶ֡ם וְלִבְנֵיהֶ֡ם וְהִתְעָרְב֡וּ זֶ֡רַע הַקֹּ֡דֶשׁ בְּעַמֵּ֣י הָאֲרָצ֑וֹת וְיַ֣ד הַשָּׂרִ֣ים וְהַסְּגָנִ֣ים הָ֣יְתָ֡ה בַּמַּ֣עַל הַזֶּ֡ה רִאשׁוֹנָֽה׃
kiy nashʾv mibnoteyhem lahem vlibneyhem vhitʿarbv zeraʿ haqodesh bʿamey haʾaraṣvot vyad hashariym vhasganiym haytah bamaʿal hazeh riʾshvonah
King James Version (KJV)

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.

Modern English

For they have taken some of their daughters to be wives for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy race has mixed itself with the peoples of the lands. And in this faithlessness the hand of the officials and chief men has been foremost.
