Ezra 10

1 Hitia hi Ezra in Pathen Houin masanglang ngatna tolla amai bohkhup a, kap pum’a chonset phong’a ataopet hin Israel mipi lah a kon’in mihon tamtah pasal, numei chuleh chapangte geijin ahung kikhom’un lung natah in amatoh akapkhom taovin ahi.

So when Esdras [had] prayed, and when he [had] confessed, weeping and praying before the house of God, a very great assembly of Israel came together to him, men and women and youths; for the people wept, and wept aloud.

2 Hichejou chun. Elam chilhah Jehiel chapa Shecaniah chun Ezra kommah hitin ahinsei tai, “Eiho hin I Pathennu masangah ikitah jou tapouve ajeh chu eihon hou neilou agamsunga cheng numeiho ikichenpi taove. Ahiyeng vang'in Israelte in kinepna aum nalaije.

And Sechenias the son of Jeel, of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Esdras, We have broken covenant with our God, and have taken strange wives of the nations of the land: yet now there is patience [of hope] to Israel concerning this thing.

3 Tun eihon I Pathen utoh kitepna khat neiju hitin hichea hou neilou ijiteuhi da-gam jengu hitin achateu pum’in soldoh jengu hite. Keihon nangma le Pathen daanthu nitna neiho thupeh hi jui tao vinge.

Now then let us make a covenant with our God, to put away all the wives, and their offspring, as thou shalt advise:

4 Thoudoh inlang namopohna dungjuijin thil hohi suhtoh na dinga iti chal-lhah dingham neihil taovin. Keihohi nangma nungthopna dinga kahiuve hat’in lang hangtah in tong lhatan,” ahung tipeh tan ahi.

arise, and alarm them with the commands of our God; and let [it] be done according to the law. Rise up, for the matter [is] upon thee; and we [are] with thee: be strong and do.

5 Hiti chun Ezra adingdoh in thempu lamkaiho leh Levite chuleh Israel mipite jousen Shecaniah in ahin seibang chun boldingin kihahselna neiju hite atiuvin. Hiti chun kihahselna chu aneisoh kei taove.

Then Esdras arose, and caused the rulers, the priests, and Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word: and they swore.

6 Hijouchun Ezra in Pathen Houin masang chu adalhan Eliashib chapa Jehohanan kitipa insungdan achun aluttan ahi. Aman hiche munah chun anjong nelou, twijong donlouvin ageh khovah tan ahi. Amachu sohchang hung kileho kitahlou jeh in alungkham jeng nalaijin ahi.

And Esdras rose up from before the house of God, and went to the treasury of Joanan the son of Elisub; he even went thither: he ate no bread, and drank no water; for he mourned over the unfaithfulness [of them] of the captivity.

7 Hichejou chun Judah leh Jerusalem gam pumpi sungah thuphon khat aphongdoh un sohchang hung kilekit jouse Jerusalem’a hung kikhom dingin thupeh anei taovin ahi.

And they made proclamation throughout Juda and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should assemble at Jerusalem, [saying],

8 Koi hileh nithum sunga hunglhung lou jouse chu, lamkai holeh upa hon gellhuhna aneijuleh amaho chu anei agou hou kichomding ahi tin aki gong’un ahi.

Every one who shall not arrive within three days, as [is] the counsel of the rulers and the elders, all his substance shall be forfeited, and he shall be separated from the congregation of the captivity.

9 Hiti chun it hum sungin Judah leh Benjamin mipite jouse chu Jerusalem ah ahung kikhom sohkei taovin ahi. Hichehi lha ko lhinna, nisom ni, nikho thilsoh ahi, mipiho jouse chu Pathen Houin mai tollhangah atousoh keijun, chule amaho chu athu khoh jehleh gojuh jeh a adap jeh chun akithing thing jengun ahi.

So all the men of Juda and Benjamin assembled at Jerusalem within the three days. This [was] the ninth month: on the twentieth day of the month all the people sat down in the street of the house of the Lord, because of their alarm concerning the word, and because of the storm.

10 Hijou chun thempupa Ezra chu adingdoh in amaho komma chun aseitan ahi. “Nanghon chonset khohtah chu natongdoh taovin ahi. Hou neilouho numeiho nakichen piuvin Israel chonset nasuh pungbe taovin ahi.

And Esdras the priest arose, and said to them, Ye have broken covenant, and have taken strange wives, to add to the trespass of Israel.

11 Hijeh chun tuhin nanghon napu napateo Pakai Pathen komma chun nachonset phongun chuleh ama lungdei chu bollun. Hiche gamsung mite leh hounei lou numeiho’a kon’in hungpot doh un,” atin ahi.

Now therefore give praise to the Lord God of our fathers, and do that which is pleasing in his sight: and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the strange wives.

12 Hijouchun akikhom mipi hochun O sangtah in asammun hiti hin ahin donbut un ahi, “Adih e, naseichu adih e, keihon nasei bang banga chun kaboldiu ahi!” atiuve.

Then all the congregation answered and said, This thy word [is] powerful upon us to do it.

13 Hijouchun amahon aseibe uvin: “Hichehi nikhat ahilou leh ni ni sunga gahchai jengthei ahipoi ajeh chu hiche chonset khohtah thuahi mi tamtah natkha a ahitai. Tu gojuh laitah hin keiho katousot thei pouve.

But the people [is] numerous, and the season [is] stormy, and there is no power to stand without, and the work is more than enough for one day or for two; for we have greatly sinned in this matter.

14 Kalamkai ho’uvin keiho jouse thalhengin hiche thuhi hin boltoh taohen. Koihile namdang numei kichenpi jouse chun phat kitep dungjuiyin, akhospi sung’a lamkaite le thutanho toh hung kilhon uhen. Chutileh I Pathen u lunghanna eihoa konna akitol mang ding ahi,” atiuve.

Let now our rulers stand, and for all those in our cities who have taken strange wives, let them come at appointed times, and with them elders from every several city, and judges, to turn away the fierce wrath of our God from us concerning this matter.

15 Hiche tohgon chu Ashahel chapa Jonathan leh Tikvah chapa Jahzeiah tenin bou adeimo lhonin chuleh Meshullam leh Levi mi Shabethai in amani chu ajop lhonin adangsen vang aphatsah sohkeijin ahi.

Only Jonathan the son of Asael, and Jazias the son of Thecoe [were] with me concerning this; and Mesollam, and Sabbathai the Levite helped them.

16 Hitia chu achelhahna dingin hitihin agong’un ahi. Hichun Ezra in ama insung cheh thalheng dingin lamkai alhengdoh in hiche thalheng hochu amin cheh in ajihlut in ahi. Lhasom lhinna, ni masapen nin, lamkai hochu atoukhom’un hiche thu chu phatah in akholtoh pan un ahi.

And the children of the captivity did thus: and Esdras the priest, and heads of families according to [their] house were separated, and all by their names, for they returned in the first day of the tenth month to search out the matter.

17 Akhovei kumthah kipat nikho chun hou neilou numei kichenpi ho jouse chu akholdoh sohkei taovin ahi.

And they made an end with all the men who had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month.
