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.
Mgbe Ezra na-ekpe ekpere, na-ekwupụta mmehie ndị a, na-akwa akwa, na-atụ onwe ya nʼala nʼihu ụlọ Chineke, igwe ndị Izrel dị ukwuu, bụ ndị nwoke, na nwanyị, na ụmụntakịrị gbara ya gburugburu soro ya na-akwa akwa dị ilu.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Shekanaya nwa Jehiel, onye agbụrụ Elam, sịrị Ezra, “Anyị emehiela megide Chineke anyị, nʼihi nʼịlụ ndị inyom mba ọzọ ndị gbara anyị gburugburu. Ma otu ọ dị, olileanya ka dịrị ndị Izrel.
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.
Ugbu a ka anyị gbaa ndụ nʼihu Chineke anyị, izilaga ndị inyom ndị mba ọzọ ndị a na ụmụ ha dịka ndụmọdụ onyenwe m Ezra, na ndị na-atụ egwu iwu Chineke anyị si dị. Ka e mee ihe ndị a dịka iwu si dị.
4 Up, now! for this is your business, and we are with you; take heart and do it.
Biko, bilie gwa anyị ụzọ anyị ga-esi dozie ihe niile mebiri emebi. Anyị ga-eme ihe i kwuru.”
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Ezra biliri jụọ ndịisi ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị, na Izrel niile, ma ha ga-eme ihe Shekanaya kwuru. Ha niile ṅụrụ iyi kwenye na ha ga-eme ya.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Ezra si nʼihu ụlọ Chineke pụọ banye nʼime ọnụụlọ Jehohanan, nwa Eliashib. Mgbe ọ nọ nʼebe ahụ, o righị nri ọbụla, ọ ṅụghị mmiri ọbụla, nʼihi na ọ nọgidere na-eru ụjụ nʼihi ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi nke ndị si nʼebe a dọtara ha nʼagha lọta.
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;
E zisara ozi na Juda na Jerusalem niile na a chọrọ ịhụ ndị niile si esi lọta na Jerusalem.
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.
Ndịisi na ndị okenye kpebiri na onye ọbụla nke na-abịaghị nʼụbọchị atọ, dịka atụmatụ ha si dị, na a ga-anara onye ahụ akụ niile o nwere, kewapụkwa onye ahụ site na mkpọkọta ndị Izrel e mere ka ha gaa biri nʼala ọzọ.
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.
Mgbe ụbọchị atọ ahụ zuru, ndị ikom Juda na Benjamin niile zukọrọ na Jerusalem. Nʼụbọchị nke iri abụọ nke ọnwa itoolu, mmadụ niile zukọrọ nọdụ nʼama dị nʼihu ụlọnsọ Chineke. Mmiri dị ukwuu zoro nʼụbọchị ahụ. Ụjọ tụkwara ndị ahụ niile zukọrọ nʼihi oke mmiri ozuzo ahụ na nʼihi okwu ahụ.
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.
Mgbe ahụ Ezra onye nchụaja, biliri ọtọ, sị ha, “Unu emehiela, nʼihi na unu lụrụ ndị inyom mba ọzọ, si otu a tụkwasị ihe nʼikpe ọmụma dịrị Izrel.
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.
Ugbu a, sọpụrụnụ Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke nna nna unu ha, meekwanụ ihe bụ nzube ya. Kewapụnụ onwe unu site nʼebe ndị mba ọzọ nọ, nakwa ebe nwunye ndị unu si mba ọzọ lụta.”
12 Then all the people, answering, said with a loud voice, As you have said, so it is right for us to do.
Nzukọ niile ahụ zara nʼotu olu sị. “Okwu gị ziri ezi, Anyị aghaghị ime dịka i kwuru.”
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.
Ma ha zakwara sị, “Nke a abụghị ihe anyị ga-eme nʼotu ụbọchị maọbụ nʼụbọchị abụọ, nʼihi na aka ọtụtụ mmadụ nʼime anyị dị na mmehie ahụ. Mmiri na-ezosikwa ike, anyị enwekwaghị ike ịnọgide ruo oge dị anya.
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.
Ka ndịisi anyị guzobe mkpọkọta niile. Ka ndị niile nọ nʼobodo anyị ndị lụrụ nwanyị site na mba ọzọ bịa nʼoge a kara aka, ha na ndị okenye na ndị ikpe nke obodo ọbụla, ruo mgbe oke iwe Chineke banyere okwu a sitere nʼebe anyị nọ pụọ.”
15 Only Jonathan, the son of Asahel, and Jahzeiah, the son of Tikvah, were against this, Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supporting them.
Ma ndị na-ekweghị ka e mee ya otu a bụ naanị Jonatan nwa Asahel na Jazeia nwa Tikva, na Meshulam na Shabetai onye Livayị.
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.
Ya mere, ndị ahụ niile si esi lọta, mere dịka mkpebi ahụ si dị. Ezra họpụtara ụfọdụ ndị ikom, ndị bụ ndịisi ezinaụlọ, e si nʼezinaụlọ ọbụla họpụta otu onye. E dekwara aha ndị niile a họpụtara nʼakwụkwọ. Ya mere, nʼụbọchị mbụ nke ọnwa iri, ndị a malitere inyocha okwu ndị a.
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.
Mgbe ọnwa atọ gasịrị, ya bụ, nʼabalị mbụ nke ọnwa mbụ nʼafọ, ha rụchara ọrụ banyere ndị ikom lụrụ ndị inyom mba ọzọ.
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.
A chọpụtara nʼetiti ụmụ ndị nchụaja, na ndị a lụrụ ndị inyom si na mba ọzọ. Ndị si nʼikwu Jeshua nwa Jozadak na ụmụnne ya bụ, Maaseia, Elieza, Jarib na Gedaliya.
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.
