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.

Now while Ezra prayed, and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there was gathered together unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept very sore.

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 Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have married strange women 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.

Now therefore 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 commandment 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 the matter belongeth unto thee, and we are 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 arose Ezra, and made the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. So they sware.

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.

Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib: and [when] he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the trespass of them of the captivity.

7 Te dongah vangsawn koca boeih te Jerusalem la coi ham Judah neh Jerusalem ah ol a pat.

And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto 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 came not within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of the captivity.

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 all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within the three days; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth [day] of the month: and all the people sat in the broad place before the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great 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 unto them, Ye have trespassed, and have married strange women, to increase the guilt 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.

Now therefore make confession unto the LORD, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the strange women.

12 Hlangping pum loh a doo uh tih ol a len la, “Namah ol van tangloeng ni, na ol bangla kaimih taengah saii pai.

Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, as thou hast said concerning us, so must we do.

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 much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we have greatly transgressed in this matter.

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 be appointed for all the congregation, and let all them that are in our cities which have married strange women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God be turned from us, until this matter be despatched.

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 [matter]: 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, [with] certain heads of fathers’ [houses], after their fathers’ houses, and all of them by their names, were separated; and they sat down in 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 made an end with all the men that had married strange women 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 married strange women: [namely], 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 that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, [they offered] a ram of the flock for their guilt.
