Ezra 10
1 Now while Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before God’s house, there was gathered together to him out of Israel a very great assembly of men and women and children; for the people wept very bitterly.
Alò, pandan Esdras t ap priye e t ap fè konfesyon, t ap kriye e pwostène li devan lakay Bondye a, yon trè gran asanble, gason, fanm, ni timoun, te rasanble vè li soti an Israël; paske pèp yo te kriye byen anmè.
2 Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered Ezra, “We have trespassed against our God, and have married foreign women of the peoples of the land. Yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.
Schecania, fis a Jehiel la, youn nan fis a Élam yo, te di Esdras: “Nou pa t fidèl a Bondye nou an. Nou te marye ak fanm etranje soti nan pèp peyi yo. Malgre, koulye a toujou gen espwa pou Israël.
3 Now therefore let’s make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives and those who are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God. Let it be done according to the law.
Alò pou sa a, kite nou fè yon akò avèk Bondye nou an pou mete akote tout fanm yo avèk pitit pa yo, selon konsèy a mèt mwen an, e pou sila ki tranble sou kòmandman Bondye nou yo. Epi kite sa fèt selon lalwa a.
4 Arise, for the matter belongs to you and we are with you. Be courageous, and do it.”
Leve! Paske se ou menm ki responsab afè sila a, men nou va avèk nou. Pran kouraj e aji.”
5 Then Ezra arose, and made the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel to swear that they would do according to this word. So they swore.
Konsa, Esdras te leve, e te fè prèt prensipal yo, Levit yo ak tout Israël sèmante pou yo ta fè selon sa ki te pwopoze a. Konsa yo te sèmante.
6 Then Ezra rose up from before God’s house, and went into the room of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib. When he came there, he didn’t eat bread or drink water, for he mourned because of the trespass of the exiles.
Epi Esdras te leve soti devan lakay Bondye a, e te antre nan chanm a Jochanan nan, fis a Éliaschib la. Malgre li te ale la, li pa t manje pen, ni bwè dlo, paske li te tèlman dezole akoz enfidelite a moun egzil yo.
7 They made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together to Jerusalem;
Yo te fè yon dekrè nan tout Juda avèk Jérusalem a tout moun egzil yo, ke yo ta dwe rasanble Jérusalem,
8 and that whoever didn’t come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his possessions should be forfeited, and he himself separated from the assembly of the captivity.
epi ke nenpòt moun ki pa ta vini nan twa jou yo, selon konsèy a chèf pa yo avèk ansyen yo, tout byen li yo va konfiske e li menm ta retire nan asanble moun egzil yo.
9 Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together to Jerusalem within the three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the wide place in front of God’s house, trembling because of this matter, and because of the great rain.
Pou sa, tout mesye Juda avèk Benjamin yo te rasanble Jérusalem nan twa jou yo. Se te nan nevyèm mwa a sou ventyèm jou nan mwa a, tout pèp te chita nan plas ouvri devan lakay Bondye a, e yo t ap tranble akoz afè sila a ak gwo lapli a.
10 Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, increasing the guilt of Israel.
Alò, Esdras, prèt la, te kanpe epi te di yo: “Nou pa t fidèl e nou te marye avèk fanm etranje yo, ki ogmante koupabilite Israël la.
11 Now therefore make confession to Yahweh, the God of your fathers and do his pleasure. Separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign women.”
Alò, akoz sa a konfese a SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt nou yo, e fè volonte L. Separe nou menm soti nan moun a peyi yo, e separe nou de madanm etranje yo.”
12 Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice, “We must do as you have said concerning us.
Konsa, tout asanble a te reponn ak yon gwo vwa: “Se konsa, jan ou te di a, se devwa nou pou nou fè.
13 But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand outside. This is not a work of one day or two, for we have greatly transgressed in this matter.
Men gen anpil moun, se sezon lapli a, e nou p ap kab kanpe deyò a. Ni tach la pa kab fèt nan youn oswa de jou, paske nou te fè anpil transgresyon nan afè sila a.
14 Now let our princes be appointed for all the assembly, and let all those who are in our cities who have married foreign women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city and its judges, until the fierce wrath of our God is turned from us, until this matter is resolved.”
Kite chèf nou yo reprezante tout asanble a, e kite tout sila nan vil nou yo ki te marye ak fanm etranje yo vini nan lè apwente yo, ansanm avèk ansyen a chak vil yo, jiskaske kòlè fewòs Bondye nou an, akoz bagay sa a, ta vin detounen kite nou.”
15 Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
Sèlman Jonathan, fis Asël la avèk Jachzia, fis a Thikva a, te opoze ak sa, avèk Meschullam avèk Schabthaï, Levit ki t ap bay yo soutyen an.
16 The children of the captivity did so. Ezra the priest, with certain heads of fathers’ households, after their fathers’ houses, and all of them by their names, were set apart; and they sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
Men moun egzil yo te fè li konsa. Epi Esdras, prèt la, te chwazi mesye ki te chèf an tèt lakay zansèt yo pou chak kay zansèt, yo tout pa non yo. Konsa, yo te reyini nan premye jou nan dizyèm mwa a pou fè rechèch sou ka sila a.
17 They finished with all the men who had married foreign women by the first day of the first month.
Yo te fin fè rechèch la sou tout mesye ki te marye ak fanm etranje yo pou rive nan premye jou premye mwa a.
18 Among the sons of the priests there were found who had married foreign women: of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers: Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah.
Pami fis a prèt ki te marye ak fanm etranje yo, yo te twouve fis a Josué yo, fis a Jotsadak la e frè li yo: Maaséja, Éliézer, Jarib, avèk Guedalia.
19 They gave their hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their guilt.
Yo te fè sèman pou mete akote fanm pa yo e akoz koupabilite a, yo te ofri yon belye a bann mouton an pou kouvri koupabilite yo.
