Ezra 10
1 Now while Ezra was making his prayer and his statement of wrongdoing, weeping and falling down before the house of God, a very great number of men and women and children out of Israel came together round him: for the people were weeping bitterly.
Esdras menm te ajenou toujou, fas atè, devan Kay Bondye a, li t'ap lapriyè. Dlo nan je, li t'ap rekonèt tout fòt pèp la te fè devan Bondye. Pandan li t'ap fè sa, yon foul moun pèp Izrayèl la, gason, fanm ak timoun, vin sanble fè wonn bò kote l'. Dlo t'ap ponpe nan je yo tout.
2 And Shecaniah, the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answering, said to Ezra, We have done evil against our God, and have taken as our wives strange women of the peoples of the land: but still there is hope for Israel in this question.
Le sa a, Chekanya, pitit gason Jeyèl la, nan branch fanmi Elam lan, pran lapawòl. Li di Esdras konsa: -Nou trayi Bondye nou an vre lè nou pran fanm lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan peyi a pou madanm nou. Men malgre sa, mwen kwè gen espwa toujou pou pèp Izrayèl la.
3 Let us now make an agreement with our God to put away all the wives and all their children, if it seems right to my lord and to those who go in fear of the words of our God; and let it be done in keeping with the law.
Nou tout pral pran angajman an piblik devan Bondye pou nou ranvwaye tout medam sa yo ansanm ak pitit yo fè pou nou. Wi, mèt, nou pral swiv konsèy ou menm ak lòt moun ki gen respè pou kòmandman Bondye nou an te ban nou. Se pou nou fè tou sa lalwa Bondye a mande nou fè.
4 Up, now! for this is your business, and we are with you; take heart and do it.
Leve non! Se ou menm ki pou regle bagay sa a. N'ap kanpe la avè ou! Kouraj! Annavan!
5 Then Ezra got up, and made the chiefs of the priests and the Levites and all Israel take an oath that they would do this. So they took an oath.
Lè sa a, Esdras leve, li fè chèf prèt yo, chèf moun Levi yo ak tout rès moun yo sèmante yo pral fè sa Chekanya te di a. Yo sèmante vre.
6 Then Ezra got up from before the house of God and went into the room of Jehohanan, the son of Eliashib; but when he came there, he took no food or drink, for he was sorrowing for the sin of those who had come back.
Apre sa, Esdras ale lakay Jokanan, pitit gason Eliyachib la, sou devan tanp Bondye a. Li pase nwit lan la, san manje, san bwè, paske li te nan gwo lapenn dèske moun yo te depòte epi ki te tounen nan peyi a pa t' kenbe pawòl yo.
7 And they made a public statement through all Judah and Jerusalem, to all those who had come back, that they were to come together to Jerusalem;
Yo fè yon piblikasyon nan tout peyi Jida a ak nan lavil Jerizalèm, pou mande tout moun ki te tounen soti nan peyi kote yo te depòte yo a pou yo tout te reyini lavil Jerizalèm.
8 And that if anyone did not come before three days were past, as ordered by the rulers and the responsible men, all his goods would be put under the curse, and he himself would be cut off from the meeting of the people who had come back.
Si yon moun kite twa jou pase li pa moute, tout chèf yo ak tout moun ki an tèt branch fanmi yo te dakò pou yo te sezi tout byen moun sa a, pou yo te fè tanp Bondye a kado l', lèfini pou yo pa t' konsidere l' tankou moun sosyete a ankò avèk rès moun ki te tounen soti kote yo te depòte yo a.
9 Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin came together to Jerusalem before three days were past; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people were seated in the wide square in front of the house of God, shaking with fear because of this business and because of the great rain.
Nan twa jou vre, ki te ventyèm jou nan nevyèm mwa a, tout gason ki t'ap viv sou pòsyon tè ki te pou branch fanmi Jida ak branch fanmi Benjamen yo te sanble lavil Jerizalèm. Yo rete sou plas piblik ki devan tanp Bondye a. Yon gwo lapli t'ap tonbe. Tout moun t'ap tranble, yo te frèt, men yo te pè tou paske se te yon gwo zafè.
10 And Ezra the priest got to his feet and said to them, You have done wrong and taken strange women for your wives, so increasing the sin of Israel.
Lè sa a, Esdras, prèt la, leve, li di yo: -Lè nou marye ak fanm lòt nasyon yo, se trayi nou trayi Bondye. Se mete nou mete sou tou sa k'ap fèt mal deja nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la.
11 So now, give praise to the Lord, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and make yourselves separate from the peoples of the land and from the strange women.
Men koulye a, rekonèt devan Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, sa nou fè ki mal la. Fè sa li vle nou fè a: pran distans nou ak moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan peyi a. Separe ak fanm nou te pran pami lòt nasyon yo pou madanm.
12 Then all the people, answering, said with a loud voice, As you have said, so it is right for us to do.
Tout pèp la pran reponn byen fò: -Wi. N'ap fè tou sa ou mande nou fè!
13 But the number of people is great, and it is a time of much rain; it is not possible for us to go on waiting outside, and this is not a thing which may be done in one day or even two: for our sin in this business is great.
Men pèp la anpil. Se sezon lapli. Nou pa ka rete deyò a konsa. Epitou, se pa bagay k'ap pran yon jou osinon de jou, paske gen anpil nan nou ki koupab nan zafè sa a.
14 So now let our rulers be representatives for all the people, and let all those in our towns who are married to strange women come at fixed times, and with them the responsible men and the judges of every town, till the burning wrath of our God is turned away from us, and this has been done.
Se pou chèf nou yo rete isit la nan plas nou pou regle bagay la. Nan dat y'a fikse a, tout moun nan peyi a ki marye ak yon fanm lòt nasyon va vin parèt devan yo. Chèf fanmi yo ak jij k'ap dirije lavil kote moun lan rete a va vin avè l'. Konsa konsa, jouk kòlè Bondye ki te tonbe sou nou poutèt bagay sa a va bese.
15 Only Jonathan, the son of Asahel, and Jahzeiah, the son of Tikvah, were against this, Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supporting them.
Tout moun te dakò esepte Jonatan, pitit gason Asayèl, ak Jaksya, pitit gason Tikva a, ki te kont. Machoulam ak Chabtayi, yon moun Levi, te pran pozisyon ak yo tou.
16 So those who had come back did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain heads of families, by their fathers' families, all of them by their names, were marked out; and on the first day of the tenth month they took their places to go into the question with care.
Men, moun ki te tounen soti nan peyi kote yo te depòte yo a te dakò ak sa yo te mande yo fè a. Esdras, prèt la, fè chwazi kèk moun ki te chèf branch fanmi pou ede l' nan travay la. Li pran non yo sou lis. Epi se konsa, depi premye jou dizyèm mwa a yo chita nan tribinal, y'ap egzaminen ka chak moun yonn apre lòt.
17 And they got to the end of all the men who were married to strange women by the first day of the first month.
Apre twa mwa, jou pou jou, lè premye jou premye mwa a rive, yo te fin regle zafè tout moun ki te marye ak fanm lòt nasyon yo.
18 And among the sons of the priests who were married to strange women were these: of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak and his brothers, Maaseiah and Eliezer and Jarib and Gedaliah.
Men lis gason ki te marye ak fanm lòt nasyon yo: Pami prèt yo, nan branch fanmi Jozye a, pitit Jeozadak la ak nan branch fanmi frè l' yo, te gen Maseja, Elyezè ak Gedalya.
19 And they gave their word that they would put away their wives; and for their sin, they gave an offering of a male sheep of the flock.
Yo fè sèman y'ap ranvwaye madanm yo, epi yo ofri yon belye mouton bay Seyè a pou mande li padon pou fòt yo te fè a.
