Ezra 10
1 Ezra he a thangthui vaengah khaw a uem vaengah khaw a rhah neh Pathen im hmai ah bakop. A taengah Israel hlangping lamloh tongpa neh huta neh camoe neh uep tingtun uh khungdaeng. Pilnam khaw lungnat neh bungbung rhap uh.
And while Ezra prayed, and made confession, weeping and falling down before the house of God, there were gathered to him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children; for the people wept very much.
2 Te vaengah Elam kah Elam koca Jehiel capa Shekaniah loh a doo tih Ezra te, “Mamih tah mamih kah Pathen taengah boe n'koek uh dongah khohmuen pilnam lamkah kholong nu neh kho n'sak uh. Te cakhaw Israel ham ngaiuepnah om coeng.
And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Ezra, We have acted unfaithfully toward our God, and have taken foreign wives of the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.
3 Te dongah ka boei rhoek neh mamih kah Pathen olpaek dongah aka thuen rhoek kah cilsuep bangla huta rhoek neh amih kah a cun boeih te tueih hamla mamih kah Pathen taengah paipi saii uh pawn sih lamtah olkhueng bangla vai uh saeh.
And now let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of [my] lord, and of those that tremble at the commandments of our God; and let it be done according to the law.
4 Olka he namah hut coeng dongah thoo lamtah kaimih khaw nang taengah ka omuh. Thaahuel lamtah saii laeh,” a ti nah.
Arise, for this matter is incumbent on thee, and we will be with thee: be of good courage, and do [it].
5 Te dongah Ezra thoo tih a toemngam. Levi khosoih mangpa rhoek neh Israel boeih long khaw te ol bangla saii ham a toemngam uh.
Then Ezra arose, and made the chiefs of the priests, of the Levites, and of all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. And they swore.
6 Te phoeiah tah Ezra te Pathen im hmai lamloh thoo tih Eliashib capa Jehohanan kah imkhan la cet. Buh te pahoi a paan dae ca pawt tih vangsawn boekoeknah ham a nguekcoi dongah tui khaw o pawh.
And Ezra arose from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib; and when he came thither, he ate no bread and drank no water; for he mourned because of the unfaithfulness of them that had been carried away.
7 Te dongah vangsawn koca boeih te Jerusalem la coi ham Judah neh Jerusalem ah ol a pat.
And they made proclamation in Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;
8 Mangpa rhoek neh a hamca rhoek kah cilsuep bangla hnin thum khuiah aka pawk pawt boeih tah a khuehtawn boeih thup pah saeh lamtah anih te vangsawn hlangping lamloh hoep saeh,’ a ti.
and that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be confiscated, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.
9 Te dongah Judah hlang neh Benjamin, Jerusalem pum tah hla ko hla kah hnin kul vaengah hnin thum khuiah tingtun uh. Te vaengah pilnam pum te Pathen im kah toltung ah ngol uh. Tekah ol neh khonal dong lamloh amih te thuen uh.
Then were all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered together at Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month; and all the people sat in the open space of the house of God, trembling because of the matter, and because of the pouring rain.
10 Te vaengah khosoih Ezra pai tih amih te, “Boe na koek tih Israel kah dumlai te koei hamla kholong nu neh kho na sak uh.
And Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, Ye have acted unfaithfully, and have taken foreign wives, to increase the trespass of Israel.
11 Te dongah na pa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA taengah tholh phongnah khueh uh laeh. A kolonah te saii uh lamtah khohmuen pilnam taeng lamkah neh kholong nu taeng lamloh hoep uh laeh,” a ti nah.
And now make confession to Jehovah the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure, and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign wives.
12 Hlangping pum loh a doo uh tih ol a len la, “Namah ol van tangloeng ni, na ol bangla kaimih taengah saii pai.
And the whole congregation answered and said with a loud voice, Yes, it is for us to do according to thy words.
13 Tedae pilnam he ping tih khonal tue la om bal. Te dongah tollong ah pai ham thadueng a om moenih. He ol dongah boekoek la a ping dongah bitat he hnin at nen bueng pawt tih hnin nit ah coeng mahpawh.
But the people are many, and it is a time of pouring rain, and it is not possible to stand without: neither is this a work for one day or two; for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.
14 Hlangping boeih hamla mamih kah mangpa rhoek he pai mai saeh. Te phoeiah mah kho khuikah kholong nu neh kho aka sa boeih te a caeng tue bangla kun sak saeh. He olka dongah kaimih Pathen kah thintoek thinsa te kaimih lamloh a mael hil amih neh kho, kho kah a hamca rhoek loh laitloek saeh.
Let now our princes, while this matter is going on, stand for all the congregation, and let all those that have taken foreign wives in our cities come at the appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce anger of our God be turned from us.
15 Asahel capa Jonathan neh Tikvah capa Jahaziah loh he he a tlai thil tih amih rhoi te Levi Meshullam neh Shabbethai loh a bom.
Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
16 Te dongah vangsawn koca rhoek loh a saii uh. Te phoeiah khosoih Ezra loh hlang rhoek te a napa imkhui tarhing ah a napa boeilu neh a boel. A hla rha dongkah hnin lamhmacuek vaengah Amih boeih te a ming neh ol dawt hamla ngol uh.
And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest [and] certain of the chief fathers were separated according to their fathers' houses, and all of them [expressed] by name; and they sat down on the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
17 Lamhmacuek hla kah lamhmacuek khohnin ah kholong nu neh aka om hlang boeih te a khah uh.
And they ended with all the men that had taken foreign wives by the first day of the first month.
18 Te vaengah khosoih koca rhoek khuiah Jeshua koca lamkah Jozadak capa neh amah boeinaphung Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib neh Gedaliah tah kholong nu neh kho a sak te a hmuh.
And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken foreign wives, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren: Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
19 Te dongah a yuu rhoek te tueih hamla a kut te a yuh uh tih amamih kah dumlai dongah boiva la tutal a rhaem uh.
And they gave their hand to send away their wives; and they offered a ram of the flock, as trespass-offering for their guilt.
