And at Ezra's praying, and at his making confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there have been gathered unto him out of Israel an assembly very great — men and women and children — for the people have wept, multiplying weeping.
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 son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, answereth and saith to Ezra, 'We — we have trespassed against our God, and we settle strange women of the peoples of the land; and now there is hope for Israel concerning this,
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 cause all the women to go out, and that which is born of them, by the counsel of the Lord, and of those trembling at the command of our God, and according to law it is done;
4 Olka he namah hut coeng dongah thoo lamtah kaimih khaw nang taengah ka omuh. Thaahuel lamtah saii laeh,” a ti nah.
rise, for on thee [is] the matter, and we [are] with thee; be strong, and do.'
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.
And Ezra riseth, and causeth the heads of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear to do according to this word — and they swear.
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 riseth from before the house of God, and goeth unto the chamber of Jehohanan son of Eliashib; yea, he goeth there, bread he hath not eaten, and water he hath not drunk, for he is mourning because of the trespass of the removal.
7 Te dongah vangsawn koca boeih te Jerusalem la coi ham Judah neh Jerusalem ah ol a pat.
And they cause a voice to pass over into Judah and Jerusalem, to all sons of the removal, to be gathered to 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 every one who cometh not in by the third day, according to the counsel of the heads and of the elders, all his substance is devoted, and himself separated from the assembly of the removal.
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.
And gathered are all the men of Judah and Benjamin to Jerusalem by the third day, it [is] the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month, and all the people sit in the broad place of the house of God, trembling on account of the matter and of the showers.
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 riseth, and saith unto them, 'Ye — ye have trespassed, and ye settle strange women, to add to 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.
and, now, make confession to Jehovah, God of your fathers, and do His good pleasure, and be separated 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.
And all the assembly answer and say [with] a great voice, 'Right; according to thy word — on us to 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] the time of showers, and there is no power to stand without, and the work [is] not for one day, nor for two, for we have multiplied to transgress 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, we pray thee, our heads of all the assembly stand, and all who [are] in our cities, who have settled strange wives, do come in at the times appointed, and with them the elders of city and city, and its judges, till the turning back of the fury of the wrath of our God from us, for this thing.'
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 son of Asahel, and Jahaziah son of Tikvah, stood against this, and Meshullam, and Shabbethai the Levite, helped them.

And the sons of the removal do so, and Ezra the priest, [and] men, heads of the fathers, for the house of their fathers, are separated, even all of them by name, and they sit 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 finish with all the men who have settled strange women unto the first day of the first month.
