Ezra 10

1 Kane Ezra lemo kendo hulo richo, koywak kendo kongʼielore piny e nyim od Nyasaye, oganda maduongʼ mar jo-Israel; chwo, mon kod nyithindo nochokore kolwore. Gin bende ne giywak malit.

Whiles Ezra prayed thus, and confessed himselfe weeping, and falling downe before the house of God, there assembled vnto him of Israel a very great Congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept with a great lamentation.

2 Eka Shekania wuod Jehiel, achiel kuom nyikwa Elam, nowachone Ezra niya, “Ok wasebedo jo-ratiro ni Nyasachwa kuom kendo nyiri ma ok jo-Yahudi. To kata ka wasetimo kamano, to jo-Israel pod nigi geno.

Then Shechaniah the sonne of Iehiel one of the sonnes of Elam answered, and sayd to Ezra, We haue trespassed against our God, and haue taken strange wiues of the people of the land, yet nowe there is hope in Israel concerning this.

3 Koro we walos singo e nyim Nyasachwa mondo oriemb mon-gi kod nyithindgi duto, kaluwore gi ngʼado rieko mar Ruoth Nyasachwa kod jogo moluoro chike mag Nyasachwa. We time kaluwore gi Chik.

Now therfore let vs make a couenant with our God, to put away all the wiues (and such as are borne of them) according to the counsell of the Lord, and of those that feare the commandements of our God, and let it be done according to the Lawe.

4 Chungʼ malo; wachni ni e lweti. Wabiro konyi; omiyo jiwri kendo itime.”

Arise: for the matter belogeth vnto thee: we also wil be with thee: be of comfort and do it.

5 Omiyo Ezra noa malo mi oketo jonabi gi jo-Lawi ma jotelo kod jo-Israel duto e bwo kwongʼruok mondo otim gima ne osepar. Omiyo negitimo kwongʼruokno.

Then arose Ezra, and caused the chiefe Priestes, the Leuites, and all Israel, to sweare that they would doe according to this worde. So they sware.

6 Eka Ezra noa e nyim od Nyasaye mi odhi e agoch Jehohanan wuod Eliashib. E sa mane en kanyo, ne ok ochamo chiemo kendo ne ok omodho pi, nikech nodhi nyime kokuyo kuom bedo maonge ratiro mar joma noa e twech.

And Ezra rose vp from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Iohanan the sonne of Eliashib: he went euen thither, but he did eate neither bread, nor drunke water: for he mourned, because of the transgression of them of the captiuitie.

7 Eka nogo milome e Juda kod Jerusalem ni jogo duto mane oa e twech mondo ochokre Jerusalem.

And they caused a proclamation to goe throughout Iudah and Ierusalem, vnto all them of the captiuitie, that they should assemble themselues vnto Ierusalem.

8 Ngʼato angʼata ma ok onenore e thuolo mar ndalo adek biro lalo gige duto, kaluwore gi gima jotelo kod jodongo ongʼado, kendo enodire oko mar chokruok mar joma noa e twech.

And whosoeuer woulde not come within three dayes according to the counsel of the Princes and Elders, all his substance should be forfait, and he should be separate from the Congregation of them of the captiuitie.

9 Kuom thuolo mar ndalo adek joma chwo moa Juda kod Benjamin duto nochokore Jerusalem. To e odiechiengʼ mar piero ariyo mar dwe mar ochiko, ji nobet e laru manie nyim od Nyasaye, ka gionge gi kwe nikech wachno kendo nikech koth ne goyogi.

Then all the men of Iudah and Beniamin assembled theselues vnto Ierusalem within three dayes, which was the twentieth day of the ninth moneth, and all the people sate in the streete of the house of God, trembling for this matter, and for the raine.

10 Eka Ezra ma jadolo noa malo kendo owachonegi niya, “Usebedo joma ok nikare; usekendo mond dhoudi mamoko, mumedo ketho mar jo-Israel.

And Ezra the Priest stoode vp, and said vnto them, Ye haue transgressed, and haue taken strange wiues, to increase the trespasse of Israel.

11 Koro miuru Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kwereu duongʼ, kendo utim dwarone. Thegreuru gi joma ni butu kod mondeu mag dhoudi mamoko.”

Now therefore giue praise vnto the Lord God of your fathers, and do his will, and separate your selues from the people of the land, and from the strange wiues.

12 Chokruok mar ogandani duto nodwoko gi dwol maduongʼ niya, “In kare! Nyaka watim kaka iwacho.

And all the Congregation answered, and sayd with a loude voyce, So will we do according to thy wordes vnto vs.

13 To nitiere ji mangʼeny kae kendo en kinde koth, omiyo ok wanyal chungʼ oko. Ewi mano wachni ok nyal losi gi ndalo achiel kata ariyo, nikech wasetimo richo maduongʼ e gini.

But the people are many, and it is a raynie weather, and we are not able to stande without, neither is it the worke of one day or two: for we are many that haue offended in this thing.

14 We jotendwa otime e lo chokruokni duto. Eka we ngʼato ka ngʼato mosekendo nyi joma ok jo-Yahudi obi e sa moketi, kaachiel gi jodongo kod jongʼad bura moa dala ka dala, nyaka mirima mager mar Nyasachwa kuom wachni ogol kuomwa.”

Let our rulers stand therefore before all the Congregation, and let all them which haue taken strange wiues in our cities, come at the time appoynted, and with them the Elders of euery citie and the Iudges thereof, til the fierce wrath of our God for this matter turne away from vs.

15 Ji duto noyie timo kamano, makmana Jonathan wuod Asahel gi Jazeya wuod Tikva, koriwe lwedo gi Meshulam kod Shabethai ja-Lawi, ema notamore.

Then were appoynted Ionathan the sonne of Asah-el, and Iahaziah the sonne of Tikuah ouer this matter, and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Leuites helped them.

16 Omiyo joma noa e twech notimo kaka nochan. Ezra jadolo noyiero chwo mane jotend dhoudi, achiel koa e migawo mar dhoot ka dhoot, kendo giduto noluongogi gi nying-gi. E odiechiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mar apar negibedo piny mondo ginon wechegi,

And they of the captiuitie did so, and departed, euen Ezra the Priest, and the men that were chiefe fathers to the familie of their fathers by name, and sate downe in the first day of the tenth moneth to examine the matter.

17 kendo kochopo odiechiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mokwongo negitieko gi chwo mane okendo mon moa e dhoudi mamoko.

And vntill the first day of the first moneth they were finishing the businesse with al the men that had taken strange wiues.

18 Kuom nyikwa jodolo, magi ema nokendo nyi joma ok jo-Yahudi. Koa e nyikwa Jeshua wuod Jozadak, kod owetene: Maseya, Eliezer, Jarib gi Gedalia.

And of the sonnes of the Priests there were men founde, that had taken strange wiues, to wit, of the sonnes of Ieshua, the sonne of Iozadak, and of his brethren, Maaseiah, Aeliezer, and Iarib and Gedaliah.

19 Negitingʼo bedegi kaka singruok mar riembo mondegi, kendo kuom ketho mag-gi negichiwo im ngʼato ka ngʼato koa e kweth kaka misango mar pwodhruok e ketho.
