Ezra 10

1 While Ezra prayed and made this confession, weeping and falling facedown before the house of God, a very large assembly of Israelites—men, women, and children—gathered around him, and the people wept bitterly as well.

Ke pacl se Ezra el suwoli ac pre ye mutun Tempul, ac tung ac fahkak ma koluk inge nukewa, sie u lulap lun mwet Israel, (mukul, mutan, ac tulik) elos fahsreni raunella ke tung mwemelil.

2 Then Shecaniah son of Jehiel, an Elamite, said to Ezra: “We have been unfaithful to our God by marrying foreign women from the people of the land, yet in spite of this, there is hope for Israel.

Na Shecaniah wen natul Jehiel, sin fwil natul Elam, el fahk nu sel Ezra, “Kut sifacna kunausla inmasrlosr ac God ke kut payuk nu sin mutan sac. Tusruktu finne ouinge, srakna oasr finsrak lun Israel.

3 So now let us make a covenant before our God to send away all the foreign wives and their children, according to the counsel of my lord and of those who tremble at the command of our God. Let it be done according to the Law.

Inge kut enenu in orala sie wulela ku nu sin God lasr lah kut ac supwalik mutan inge ac tulik natulos in som liki kut. Kut fah oru ma kom, ac elos ngia su sunakin ma sap lun God, fahk nu sesr in oru. Kut ac oru oana ma sapkinyuk nu sesr in Ma Sap lun God.

4 Get up, for this matter is your responsibility, and we will support you. Be strong and take action!”

Ma kunom in oru ouinge. Kut ac wi kom na, ke ma inge tuyak ac oru ma kom ac oru an.”

5 So Ezra got up and made the leading priests, Levites, and all Israel take an oath to do what had been said. And they took the oath.

Ouinge Ezra el tuyak ac sapkin tuh mwet kol inmasrlon mwet tol ac mwet Levi, ac mwet Israel nukewa saya, in fulahk tuh elos fah oru oana kas lal Shecaniah.

6 Then Ezra withdrew from before the house of God and walked to the chamber of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. And while he stayed there, he ate no food and drank no water, because he was mourning over the unfaithfulness of the exiles.

Na el som liki mutun Tempul ac utyak nu ke infukil lal Jehohanan wen natul Eliashib, ac muta we fong fon se, ac tungi orekma koluk lun mwet sruoh. El tia mongo ku nim kutena ma.

7 And a proclamation was issued throughout Judah and Jerusalem that all the exiles should gather at Jerusalem.

Sie kas supweyukelik nu yen nukewa in acn Jerusalem ac Judah, tuh elos nukewa su foloko liki sruoh fah osun in Jerusalem,

8 Whoever failed to appear within three days would forfeit all his property, according to the counsel of the leaders and elders, and would himself be expelled from the assembly of the exiles.

fal nu ke sap ku lun mwet kol lun mwet uh. Fin oasr kutena su tia tuku ke lusen len tolu, ma lalos nukewa fah itukla lukelos, ac elos fah tia sifil sie sin mwet in u se inge.

9 So within the three days, all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled in Jerusalem, and on the twentieth day of the ninth month, all the people sat in the square at the house of God, trembling regarding this matter and because of the heavy rain.

Inmasrlon len tolu ah, ke len aklongoul in malem akeu, mukul nukewa su muta in acn lun Judah ac Benjamin elos tuku nu Jerusalem ac toeni in acn mwesas lun Tempul. Len sac af na upa, ac mwet nukewa rarrar ke sripen oyohu len an, oayapa ke sripa na yohk se lun tukeni sac.

10 Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have been unfaithful by marrying foreign women, adding to the guilt of Israel.

Ezra mwet tol el tuyak ac kaskas nu selos. El fahk, “Kowos mwet tia pwaye in lulalfongi la, ac ke kowos payuk nu sin mutan sac kowos sang mwata nu sin Israel.

11 Now, therefore, make a confession to the LORD, the God of your fathers, and do His will. Separate yourselves from the people of the land and from your foreign wives.”

Inge, fahkak ma koluk lowos nu sin LEUM GOD lun mwet matu lowos, ac oru ma El insewowo kac. Srikowosla liki mwetsac su muta in acn sesr, ac sisla mutan sac kiowos.”

12 And the whole assembly responded in a loud voice: “Truly we must do as you say!

Mwet uh wowoyak ac topuk, “Kut ac oru ma nukewa ma kom fahk an.”

13 But there are many people here, and it is the rainy season. We are not able to stay out in the open. Nor is this the work of one or two days, for we have transgressed greatly in this matter.

Tusruktu elos tafwela ke kas inge, “Pusla mwet ke u se inge, ac af uh upa. Kut tia ku in tu ouinge likinum uh. Ma se inge tia ma ac ku in orekla ke len se ku luo, mweyen puslana sesr oasr ke ma koluk se inge.

14 Let our leaders represent the whole assembly. Then let everyone in our towns who has married a foreign woman come at an appointed time, together with the elders and judges of each town, until the fierce anger of our God in this matter is turned away from us.”

Lela mwet kol lasr inge in muta Jerusalem ac orekma ke elya se inge. Na lela kutena mwet su oasr mutan sac se kia in tuku ke pacl se oakwuk nu sel, wi mwet kol ac mwet nununku lun siti sel. Fin ouinge, na mulat lun God ke ouiya se inge ac fah forla liki kut.”

15 (Only Jonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah, supported by Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite, opposed this plan.)

Wangin sie lain lemlem sac, sayal Jonathan wen natul Asahel, ac Jahzeiah wen natul Tikvah, su eis kasreyuk sel Meshullam ac Shabbethai, sie mwet Levi.

16 So the exiles did as proposed. Ezra the priest selected men who were family heads, each of them identified by name, to represent their families. On the first day of the tenth month they launched the investigation,

Mwet nukewa su foloko liki sruoh elos insese nu ke lemlem sac. Ouinge Ezra mwet tol el srisrngiya mwet inmasrlon sifen sou uh, ac simusla inelos kais sie. Ke len se meet in malem se aksingoul, elos mutawauk in mukuikui ke sukok lalos,

17 and by the first day of the first month they had dealt with all the men who had married foreign women.

na inmasrlon malem tolu, elos konauk mukul nukewa su oasr mutan sac kia.

18 Among the descendants of the priests who had married foreign women were found these descendants of Jeshua son of Jozadak and his brothers: Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah.

Pa inge inen mukul su oasr mutan sac kia: [Mwet tol], simla ke sou: Ke sou lulap lal Joshua ac tamulel wial, wen natul Jehozadak: Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, ac Gedaliah.

19 They pledged to send their wives away, and for their guilt they presented a ram from the flock as a guilt offering.

Elos wulela in sisla mutan kialos, ac elos sang sheep mukul soko in mwe kisa ke ma koluk lalos.
