Ezra 10
1 Hahoi Cathut im koelah kangvawi teh, tabo teh, ka laihoi Ezra ni yon ngaithoumnae a kâhei. Hatnavah Isarelnaw tamihupui napui, tongpa, camonaw ahni koe a kâracut awh teh, tamihupui teh puenghoi a khuika awh.
As Ezra prayed and confessed, he wept and threw himself down before God's house. A very great assembly of Israelite men, women, and children gathered to him, for the people were weeping very greatly.
2 Elam catoun thung hoi Jehiel capa Shekaniah ni Ezra koevah, maimouh Cathut koevah yon sak awh tangngak toe, hahoi hete ram dawk e miphun alouke canunaw hah yu lah paluen awh toe. Hatei Isarelnaw hanelah ngaihawinae ao rah doeh.
Shekaniah son of Jehiel of the descendants of Elam said to Ezra, “We have been unfaithful to our God and have married foreign women from the people of the other lands. But in spite of this, there is still hope for Israel.
3 Hatdawkvah, bawipa ni pouknae na poe e patetlah Cathut e kâpoelawk ka bari e tami ni, yucanaw ceitakhai vaiteh maimae Cathut koe lawkkamnae sak awh vaiteh kâlawk patetlah tarawi awh sei.
So now let us make a covenant with our God to send out all the women and their children according to the Lord's instructions and the instructions of those who tremble at the commandments of our God, and let it be done according to the law.
4 Thaw leih, bangkongtetpawiteh, hete heh nange thaw doeh, kaimouh hai nang koe lah doeh kampang awh. Lung kacakcalah awm nateh, tawk leih, telah ati awh.
Arise, for this thing is for you to carry out, and we are with you. Be strong and do this.”
5 Hahoi, Ezra a thaw teh, vaihma bawinaw, Levih miphunnaw hoi Isarel taminaw abuemlah, hote lawk patetlah lawkkamnae a sak sak teh, Hot patetlah lawkkamnae a sak awh.
So Ezra rose and made the priestly officials, the Levites, and all of Israel promise to act in this way. So they all took a solemn oath.
6 Hahoi, Ezra ni Cathut e im dawk hoi a thaw teh, Eliashib capa Jehohanan e imthung a kâen teh, hawvah rawca hai cat hoeh, tui hai net laipalah ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh, san dawk hoi ka hlout e taminaw yonnae kecu dawk khuika laihoi ao.
Then Ezra rose from before God's house and went to the rooms of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. He did not eat any bread or drink any water, since he was mourning concerning the faithlessness of those who had been in captivity.
7 San dawk hoi ka hlout e taminaw pueng Jerusalem vah kamkhueng hanelah,
So they sent word in Judah and Jerusalem to all the people back from exile to assemble in Jerusalem.
8 Kahrawikungnaw hoi kacuenaw ni a dei e patetlah hnin 3 touh thung ka tho hoeh e tami teh, san hloutnae dawk hoi pâlei vaiteh, a tawnta e hnopai pueng lawp vaiteh, ama hai pâlei lah ao han telah, Jerusalem hoi kamtawng teh Judah ram totouh a pathang awh.
Anyone who did not come in three days according to the instructions from the officials and elders forfeited all of his possessions and would be excluded from the great assembly of the people who had come back from exile.
9 Hot patetvanlah Judahnaw hoi Benjamin miphun tongpanaw teh hnin 3 touh thung Jerusalem vah a kamkhueng awh. Thapa yung 9, hnin 21 nah kho puenghoi a rak dawkvah, taminaw teh Cathut e im hmalah sut a tahung awh teh a pâyaw awh.
So all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled in Jerusalem in three days. It was the ninth month and the twentieth day of the month. All the people stood in the square before God's house and trembled because of the word and the rain.
10 Hatnavah, vaihma Ezra ni a thaw teh ahnimouh koevah yonnae na sak awh toe, Isarel miphun dawk yonnae a len nahanelah miphun alouke napuinaw hoi na kâpaluen awh.
Ezra the priest arose and said, “You yourselves have committed treason. You lived with foreign women so as to increase Israel's guilt.
11 Hatdawkvah, mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut koe yon ngaithoum het awh, a ngainae hah sak awh nateh, hete ram dawk e miphun alouke e na yunaw hoi kâkapek awh, telah ati.
But now give praise to Yahweh, your ancestors' God, and do his will. Separate from the people of the land and from the foreign women.”
12 Hahoi, taminaw ni puenghoi kacailah a dei awh e teh, bokheiyah na dei e patetlah ka sak awh roeroe han.
All the assembly answered in a loud voice, “We will do as you have said.
13 Hateiteh, tami moipap awh teh khoraknae tueng lahai bout ao, alawilah kaimouh pou kangdout thai mahoeh, hahoi hnin hnin touh hoi sak hane lahai tho hoeh, bangkongtetpawiteh, hete hno dawk tami moikapap ni yonnae sak awh toe.
However, there are many people, and it is the rainy season. We have no strength to stand outside, and this is not only one or two days of work, since we have greatly transgressed in this matter.
14 Tamimaya e yueng lah kahrawikungnaw ni mah na pouk pouh lawiseh. Kaimae lathueng vah kalenpounge BAWIPA lungkhueknae a roum nahanelah mae kho dawk Jentelnaw yu lah paluen e khonaw dawk e kahrawikungnaw hoi lawkcengkungnaw ni a tueng khoe e dawk rip tho awh naseh telah, ati awh.
So let our officials represent all the assembly. Let all who have allowed foreign women to live in our cities come at the time that will be fixed with the city elders and the city judges until the raging wrath of our God goes away from us.”
15 Asahel capa Jonathan hoi Tikvah capa Jahaziah ni hnâ bawt roi hoeh, hatei Levih miphun Meshullam hoi Shabbethai ni teh hnâ a bo roi.
Jonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah opposed this, and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supported them.
16 Hahoi san dawk hoi kahloutnaw ni hottelah a sak awh. Vaihma Ezra ni imthung kahrawikungnaw thung hoi minnaw a la e patetlah thapa ayung 10 nae, apasuek hnin navah hote kong kâdei hanelah a kamkhueng awh.
So the people who returned from exile did this. Ezra the priest selected men, the leaders in their ancestors' clans and houses—all of them by name, and they looked into the matter on the first day of the tenth month.
17 Hahoi Thapa yung pasuek, apasuek hnin nah, miphun alouke yu lah ka lat e kong kâdei e teh a cum awh.
By the first day of the first month they had finished discovering which men had lived with foreign women.
18 Hahoi, vaihma capanaw thung dawk hoi miphun alouke yu lah ka lat e taminaw teh, Jeshua hoi a hmaunawngha thung e Jozadak capa hoi a hmaunawngha Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib hoi Gedaliah tinaw doeh.
Among the descendants of the priests there were those who had lived with foreign women. Among the descendants of Jeshua son of Jozadak and his brothers there were Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah.
19 Ahnimanaw ni a yunaw kapek hanelah lawk a kam awh. Yon pâphonae dawk ngaithoum lah o nahanelah, tutan buet touh hoi thuengnae a sak awh.
So they determined to send their wives away. Since they were guilty, they offered a ram from the flock for their guilt.
