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.

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 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.

And Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra: 'We have broken faith with our God, and have married foreign women of the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.

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.

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 the LORD, and of those that tremble at the commandment 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 the matter belongeth unto thee, and we are with thee; be of good courage, and do it.'

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.

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 swore.

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 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 faithlessness of them of the captivity.

7 San dawk hoi ka hlout e taminaw pueng Jerusalem vah kamkhueng hanelah,

And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto 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.

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 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.

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 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.

And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them: 'Ye have broken faith, and have married foreign women, to increase the guilt of Israel.

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.

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 foreign women.'

12 Hahoi, taminaw ni puenghoi kacailah a dei awh e teh, bokheiyah na dei e patetlah ka sak awh roeroe han.

Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice: 'As thou hast said, so it is for us to do.

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.

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 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.

Let now our princes of all the congregation stand, and let all them that are in our cities that have married foreign 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, as touching this matter.'

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.

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 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.

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 Hahoi Thapa yung pasuek, apasuek hnin nah, miphun alouke yu lah ka lat e kong kâdei e teh a cum awh.

And they were finished with all the men that had married foreign women by the first day of the first month.

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.

And among the sons of the priests there were found that had married foreign women, namely: of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brethren, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and 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.

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.
