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.
Nígbà tí Esra ń gbàdúrà tí ó sì ń jẹ́wọ́, ti ó ń sọkún ti ó sì ń gbárayílẹ̀ níwájú ilé Ọlọ́run, ogunlọ́gọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ọkùnrin, obìnrin àti àwọn ọmọdé pagbo yí i ká. Àwọn náà ń sọkún kíkorò.
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.
Nígbà náà ni Ṣekaniah ọmọ Jehieli, ọ̀kan lára ìran Elamu, sọ fún Esra pé, “Àwa ti jẹ́ aláìṣòótọ́ sí Ọlọ́run wa nípa fífẹ́ àwọn obìnrin àjèjì láàrín àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà yí wa ká. Ṣùgbọ́n síbẹ̀ náà, ìrètí sì wà fún Israẹli
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.
Nísìnsinyìí, ẹ jẹ́ kí a dá májẹ̀mú níwájú Ọlọ́run wa láti lé àwọn obìnrin yìí àti àwọn ọmọ wọn lọ. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìmọ̀ràn Esra olúwa mi àti ti àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù àṣẹ Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa. Ẹ jẹ́ kí a ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin.
4 Get up, for this matter is your responsibility, and we will support you. Be strong and take action!”
Dìde, nítorí, ọ̀rọ̀ tìrẹ ni èyí. Gbogbo wà yóò wá pẹ̀lú rẹ, mú ọkàn le kí o sì ṣe é.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni Esra dìde, ó sì fi àwọn aṣíwájú àlùfáà àti àwọn ọmọ Lefi àti gbogbo Israẹli sí abẹ́ ìbúra, láti ṣe ohun tí wọ́n dá lábàá. Wọ́n sì búra.
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.
Nígbà náà ni Esra padà sẹ́yìn kúrò níwájú ilé Ọlọ́run, ó sì lọ sí iyàrá Jehohanani ọmọ Eliaṣibu. Nígbà tí ó wà níbẹ̀, kò jẹ oúnjẹ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sì mu omi, nítorí ó sì ń káàánú fún àìṣòótọ́ àwọn ìgbèkùn.
7 And a proclamation was issued throughout Judah and Jerusalem that all the exiles should gather at Jerusalem.
Ìkéde kan jáde lọ jákèjádò Juda àti Jerusalẹmu fún gbogbo àwọn ìgbèkùn láti péjọ sí Jerusalẹmu.
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.
Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó ba kọ̀ láti jáde wá láàrín ọjọ́ mẹ́ta yóò pàdánù ohun ìní rẹ̀ ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú ìpinnu àwọn ìjòyè àti àwọn àgbàgbà, àti pé a ó lé òun fúnra rẹ̀ jáde kúrò láàrín ìpéjọpọ̀ àwọn ìgbèkùn.
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.
Láàrín ọjọ́ mẹ́ta náà, gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Juda àti Benjamini tí péjọ sí Jerusalẹmu. Ní ogúnjọ́ oṣù kẹsànán, gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn jókòó sí ìta gbangba iwájú ilé Ọlọ́run, wọ́n wà nínú ìbànújẹ́ ńlá nítorí ọ̀ràn yìí, àti nítorí òjò púpọ̀ tó tì rọ̀.
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.
Nígbà náà ni àlùfáà Esra dìde, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ̀yin ti ṣe àìṣòótọ́, ẹ ti fẹ́ obìnrin àjèjì, ẹ ti dá kún ẹ̀bi Israẹli.
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.”
Nísinsin yìí, ẹ jẹ́wọ́ níwájú Olúwa, Ọlọ́run àwọn baba yín, kí ẹ sì ṣe ìfẹ́ rẹ̀. Ẹ ya ara yín sọ́tọ̀ kúrò láàrín àwọn ènìyàn tí ó yí i yín ká àti láàrín àwọn ìyàwó àjèjì yín.”
12 And the whole assembly responded in a loud voice: “Truly we must do as you say!
Àpéjọpọ̀ ènìyàn náà sì dáhùn lóhùn rara pé, ohun tí ó sọ dára! A gbọdọ̀ ṣe bí o ti wí.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀pọ̀ ni ó wà ni ibi yìí síbẹ̀ àkókò òjò ni; àwa kò sì lè dúró ní ìta. Yàtọ̀ sí èyí, a kò le è yanjú ọ̀rọ̀ yìí láàrín ọjọ́ kan tàbí ọjọ́ méjì, nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa pọ̀ jọjọ lórí àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
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.”
Jẹ́ kí àwọn ìjòyè wa ṣojú fún gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn, lẹ́yìn náà, jẹ́ kí ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ìlú wa tí ó ti fẹ́ obìnrin àjèjì wá ní àsìkò tí a yàn, pẹ̀lú àwọn àgbàgbà àti àwọn onídàájọ́ ìlú kọ̀ọ̀kan, títí ìbínú gíga Ọlọ́run wa lórí ọ̀rọ̀ yìí yóò fi kúrò ní orí wa.
15 (Only Jonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah, supported by Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite, opposed this plan.)
Jonatani ọmọ Asaheli àti Jahseiah ọmọ Tikfa nìkan pẹ̀lú àtìlẹ́yìn Meṣullamu àti Ṣabbetai ará Lefi, ni wọ́n tako àbá yìí.
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,
Nígbà náà ni àwọn ìgbèkùn ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n ṣe fi ẹnu kò sí. Àlùfáà Esra yan àwọn ọkùnrin tí wọ́n jẹ́ olórí àwọn ìdílé, ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan láti ìdílé kọ̀ọ̀kan, gbogbo wọn ni a sì mọ̀ pẹ̀lú orúkọ wọn. Ní ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní oṣù kẹwàá, wọ́n jókòó láti ṣe àyẹ̀wò àwọn ẹjọ́ náà,
17 and by the first day of the first month they had dealt with all the men who had married foreign women.

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