Ezra 10
1 Ie nihalaly naho nisoloho, nangololoike naho nidrakadrakak’ añ’atrefan’ anjomban’ Añahare eo t’i Ezra, le nifanontoñe ama’e boak’ Israele ao ty valobohò-bey, lahilahy naho rakemba naho ajaja, songa nangoihoy ty rovetse.
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 Aa le nanoiñe t’i Sekanaià ana’ Iehiele, amo ana’ i Elameo, ty hoe amy Ezra: Fa nampipitso-patokisañe aman’ Añahare’ay zahay, ie nañenga ampela ankafankafa am’ ondati’ ty tane toio; fe amam-pitamañe t’Israele henane zao ndra te eo izay.
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 Antao arè hifañina aman’ Añaharen-tikañe hanasa valy rekets’ o nisamak’ ama’eo, ty amy nañereta’ i Talè naho ty amo minevenevetse amy lilin’ Añaharen-tikañeio; le ehe t’ie hanoeñe an-Kàke.
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 Miongaha, ama’o o raha zao vaho mpiama’o zahay; mihafatrara le anò.
Arise, for this thing is for you to carry out, and we are with you. Be strong and do this.”
5 Niongak’ amy zao t’i Ezra, nampifanta o mpiaolom-pisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio naho Israele iaby, hanoa’ iereo i nisaontsieñey. Le nifanta iereo.
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 Aa le niavotse boak’ añatrefan’ Anjomban’ Añahare eo t’i Ezra, nizilik’ añ’ efe’ Iehohanane ana’ i Eliasibe ao; tsy nikama rano ndra mahakama t’ie tao, ami’ty fandalà’e i tsy fatokisa’ o tam-pandrohizañeo.
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 Aa le nanitsike Iehoda naho Ierosalaime iereo nanao koim-bohitse amo anam-pandrohizañe iabio hifanontoñe e Ierosalaime ao;
So they sent word in Judah and Jerusalem to all the people back from exile to assemble in Jerusalem.
8 le ze tsy nitsatoke eo añate’ ty telo andro, ty amy fañereta’ o roandriañeo naho o mpiaoloo, le hafahañe ama’e iaby o vara’eo, le haitoañe amy fivorin-tam-pandrohizañey.
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 Aa le nifanontoñe e Ierosalaime ao añate’ i telo andro rezay ze hene lahilahi’ Iehoda naho i Beniamine, amy volam-paha-sivey, amy andro faha-roapolo’ i volañeiy; le songa niambesatse amy tameañe aolo’ i anjomban’ Añahareiy ondatio, sindre nititititike ty amy raha zay naho amy oram-bey.
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 Niongak’ amy zao t’i Ezra mpitoky, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Fa nampipitso-patokisañe nahareo naho fa nañenga ampela ambahiny, hampitoabotse ty hakeo’ Israele.
Ezra the priest arose and said, “You yourselves have committed treason. You lived with foreign women so as to increase Israel's guilt.
11 Aa le misolohoa am’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ areo, le ano ty satrin’ arofo’e; vaho miavaha am’ ondati’ i taneio naho amo rakemba ambahinio.
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 Le nanoiñe am-peo mafe i fivoriy, ami’ty hoe: Tsy mete tsy hanoe’ay i nitaroñe’oy.
All the assembly answered in a loud voice, “We will do as you have said.
13 Fe maro ondatio, le oram-bey ty eo henaneo naho tsy mahafijohañe an-tamean-jahay vaho tsy fitoloñan’ andro roe ndra raike o raha zao; amy te bey ty tahi’ay amy rahay.
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 Ee te hiongak’ amy zao o mpiaolom-balobohòkeo, songa hiheo mb’ atoy ami’ ty andro tinendre, o an-drova’ay nañenga ampela ambahinio vaho sindre hindrezam-piaolo naho mpizaka boak’ amy rova’ey, ampara’ te mitolike ty haviñeran’ Añaharen-tika miforoforo aman-tikañe, ty amo raha zao.
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 Ionatane, ana’ i Asahele naho Iakzeià ana’ i Tikvà avao ty nandietse i rahay le nañolotse iareo t’i Mesolame naho i Sabetày, nte-Levy.
Jonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah opposed this, and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supported them.
16 Fe nanoe’ o anam-pandrohizañeo zay. Le nivike t’i Ezra, mpisoroñe, reketse ty mpiaolo ila’ o anjomban-droae’eo, sindre anjomban-droae, songa ondaty amy tahina’ey, niambesatse amy andro valoha’ i volam-paha-foloy hitsikarake i rahay.
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 Le nitsitsihe’ iareo ondaty nañenga rakemba ambahinio ampara’ ty andro valoha’ i volam-baloha’ey.
By the first day of the first month they had finished discovering which men had lived with foreign women.
18 Le o nizoeñe te nanambaly ampela hafa amo anam-pisoroñeoo: amo ana’ Iesoa, o ana’ Iozadakeo, le amo rahalahi’eo: i Maaseià naho i Eliezere naho Iaribe vaho i Gedalià,
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 songa nanolo-pitàñe hifanarake amo vali’eo; aa ty amy tahi’ iareoy le songa nañefa añondrilahy boak’ an-dia-raik’ ao, ho amy hakeo’ey.
So they determined to send their wives away. Since they were guilty, they offered a ram from the flock for their guilt.
