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.
Wana Esidrasi azalaki kobondela mpe kotubela masumu, azalaki ya kofukama mpe azalaki kolela liboso ya Ndako ya Nzambe. Ebele ya bana ya Isalaele: mibali, basi mpe bana, basanganaki pene na ye mpe, bango nyonso, bazalaki kolela makasi.
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.
Bongo Shekania, mwana mobali ya Yeyeli, moko kati na bakitani ya Elami, alobaki na Esidrasi: « Solo, tosalaki makambo ya mbindo na miso ya Nzambe na biso, pamba te tobali basi ya bapaya kati na bikolo oyo ezali elongo na biso kati na mboka oyo; kasi atako bongo, elikya ezali nanu mpo na Isalaele!
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.
Sik’oyo, tika ete tosala boyokani elongo na Nzambe na biso mpo na kobengana basi wana nyonso elongo na bana na bango, kolanda toli na yo Esidrasi, nkolo na ngai, mpe kolanda toli ya bato nyonso oyo balengaka liboso ya mibeko ya Nzambe na biso! Tika ete esalema kolanda Mobeko!
4 Arise, for the matter belongs to you and we are with you. Be courageous, and do it.”
Telema, pamba te yo nde osengeli kotala likambo oyo! Tozali elongo na yo mpo na kosunga yo. Yika mpiko mpe sala! »
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.
Esidrasi atelemaki mpe asengaki na bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, Balevi mpe bana nyonso ya Isalaele kolapa ndayi ete bakosalela makambo oyo ndenge elobami. Mpe balapaki ndayi.
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.
Bongo Esidrasi alongwaki liboso ya Ndako ya Nzambe mpe akendeki na shambre ya Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Eliashibi. Wana azalaki kuna, atikalaki kolia eloko moko te mpe komela mayi te; pamba te azalaki kokoba kosala matanga likolo ya makambo ya mbindo ya bato oyo bawutaki na bowumbu.
7 They made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together to Jerusalem;
Bapanzaki sango kati na Yuda mpe na Yelusalemi ete bato nyonso oyo bawutaki na bowumbu basangana na Yelusalemi.
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.
Kolanda mokano ya bakalaka mpe bakambi ya bato, moto nyonso oyo akomonana te sima na mikolo misato, bakobotola biloko na ye nyonso mpe bakolongola ye na lisanga ya bato oyo bawutaki na bowumbu.
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.
Sima na mikolo yango misato, bato nyonso ya Yuda mpe ya Benjame basanganaki na Yelusalemi. Na mokolo ya tuku mibale ya sanza ya libwa, bato nyonso bavandaki kati na lopango, liboso ya Ndako ya Nzambe, mpe bazalaki kolenga makasi likolo ya makambo oyo mpe mpo ete mvula ezalaki kobeta makasi.
10 Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, increasing the guilt of Israel.
Nganga-Nzambe Esidrasi atelemaki mpe alobaki na bango: — Bosalaki makambo ya mbindo awa bobalaki basi ya bapaya; mpe, na nzela na yango, bobakiselaki Isalaele ngambo.
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.”
Sik’oyo, boyambola masumu na bino epai na Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bino, mpe bokokisa mokano na Ye! Bokabwana na bato ya bikolo ya bapaya oyo bazali kati na bino mpe bokabwana na basi na bino ya bapaya.
12 Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice, “We must do as you have said concerning us.
Lisanga mobimba ezongisaki na mongongo makasi: — Ezali se bongo, tokosala ndenge olobi!
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.
Nzokande tozali bato ebele awa, mpe ezali eleko ya mvula; tokoki kowumela na libanda te. Kutu, ezali te likambo ya mokolo moko to ya mikolo mibale, pamba te ebele kati na biso basali masumu kati na likambo oyo.
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.”
Tika ete bakambi na biso batikala awa na esika ya lisanga mobimba! Mpe tika ete bato nyonso oyo, kati na bingumba na biso, babalaki basi ya bapaya bakende liboso ya bakambi mpe basambisi ya engumba moko na moko, na mikolo oyo bakokatela bango, kino kanda makasi ya Nzambe na biso ekolongwa kati na biso na tina na likambo yango.
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.
Kaka Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Azaeli, mpe Yakizia, mwana mobali ya Tikiva, elongo na Meshulami mpe Shabetayi, moto ya libota ya Levi, nde batelemelaki mokano oyo.
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.
Kasi bato oyo bawutaki na bowumbu basalaki ndenge elobamaki. Nganga-Nzambe Esidrasi aponaki bakambi ya mabota, moko mpo na libota moko na moko, mpe abengaki bango nyonso na bakombo na bango. Babandaki kovanda mpo na koyekola makambo yango na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya zomi.
17 They finished with all the men who had married foreign women by the first day of the first month.
Mpe, na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya liboso, basilisaki koyekola makambo ya mibali nyonso oyo babalaki basi ya bapaya.
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.
Tala kati na bakitani ya Banganga-Nzambe, mibali oyo babalaki basi ya bapaya: Kati na bakitani ya Jozue, mwana mobali ya Yotsadaki elongo na bandeko na ye ya mibali: Maaseya, Eliezeri, Yaribi mpe Gedalia.
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.
Bango nyonso batombolaki maboko mpo na kozwa mokano ya kobengana basi na bango mpe ya kobonza meme ya mobali lokola mbeka mpo na masumu na bango.
