< Ezra 10 >

1 So when Esdras [had] prayed, and when he [had] confessed, weeping and praying before the house of God, a very great assembly of Israel came together to him, men and women and youths; for the people wept, and wept aloud.
Ezra mah Sithaw im hmaa ah akuep moe, mikkhraetui hoi zae taphonghaih hoiah lawkthuih naah, kami paroeai pop Israel nongpa, nongpatanawk hoi nawktanawk boih, Ezra khaeah angpop o moe, qah o.
2 And Sechenias the son of Jeel, of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Esdras, We have broken covenant with our God, and have taken strange wives of the nations of the land: yet now there is patience [of hope] to Israel concerning this thing.
To naah Elam acaeng, Jehiel capa Shekaniah mah Ezra khaeah, Aicae taengah kaom prae kalah nongpatanawk to zu ah a lak o pongah, aimacae ih Sithaw hmaa ah zaehaih a sak o boeh, toe Israel hanah oephaih oh vop.
3 Now then let us make a covenant with our God, to put away all the wives, and their offspring, as you shall advise:
To pongah vaihiah ka angraeng hoi aicae Sithaw lokpaekhaih zii kaminawk mah thuitaek ih lok baktih toengah, a zu hoi acaa nawktanawk haek o boih hanah, aicae Sithaw khaeah lokkamhaih sah si, kaalok baktih toengah sah o si.
4 arise, and alarm them with the commands of our God; and let [it] be done according to the law. Rise up, for the matter [is] upon you; and we [are] with you: be strong and do.
Angthawk ah; hae hmuen loe na ban ah ni oh; misahoihaih hoiah sah ah, kaicae mah doeh kang doet o haih toeng han hmang, tiah a naa.
5 Then Esdras arose, and caused the rulers, the priests, and Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word: and they swore.
To pongah Ezra mah angthawk moe, qaima zaehoikungnawk, Levinawk hoi Israelnawk khaeah a thuih o ih lok baktih toengah sak o hanah lokkamsak boih.
6 And Esdras rose up from before the house of God, and went to the treasury of Joanan the son of Elisub; he even went there: he ate no bread, and drank no water; for he mourned over the unfaithfulness [of them] of the captivity.
To pacoengah Ezra loe Sithaw im hmaa hoiah angthawk moe, Eliashib capa Jehohanan imthung ah caeh; to ah oh naah doeh, misong ah kalaem kaminawk ih zaehaih pongah, buh to caa ai moe, tui doeh nae ai.
7 And they made proclamation throughout Juda and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should assemble at Jerusalem, [saying],
Misong ah kalaem kaminawk loe, Jerusalem ah amkhueng hanah,
8 Every one who shall not arrive within three days, as [is] the counsel of the rulers and the elders, all his substance shall be forfeited, and he shall be separated from the congregation of the captivity.
ni thumto thung amtueng ai kami loe, ukkungnawk hoi kacoehtanawk ih lok takroekhaih baktih toengah, a tawnh o ih hmuennawk to lomh pae boih moe, misong ah kalaem kaminawk amkhuenghaih thung hoiah haek han oh tiah, Judah hoi Jerusalem boih ah taphong o.
9 So all the men of Juda and Benjamin assembled at Jerusalem within the three days. This [was] the ninth month: on the twentieth day of the month all the people sat down in the street of the house of the Lord, because of their alarm concerning the word, and because of the storm.
Judah hoi Benjamin kaminawk boih, ni thumto pacoeng, khrah takawtto haih, ni pumphaeto naah, Jerusalem ah nawnto amkhueng o. Hae amkhuenghaih loe lokpui parai ah oh pongah kaminawk loe tasoeh takuenhaih hoiah kho angzo thungah anghnut o.
10 And Esdras the priest arose, and said to them, You have broken covenant, and have taken strange wives, to add to the trespass of Israel.
To naah qaima Ezra mah angdoet moe, nihcae khaeah, Nangcae loe prae kalah nongpata to na zu o haih pongah, na zae o boeh moe, Israel kaminawk zaehaih nang pung o sak aep.
11 Now therefore give praise to the Lord God of our fathers, and do that which is pleasing in his sight: and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the strange wives.
Vaihi nam panawk ih Angraeng Sithaw khaeah zaehaih taphong oh loe, a koehhaih to sah oh; na taeng ih kaminawk hoi angkom o hmah loe, nihcae ih canunawk to zu o haih hmah, tiah a naa.
12 Then all the congregation answered and said, This your word [is] powerful upon us to do it.
To ah kaom angpop kaminawk mah, Na thuih ih lok baktih toengah, ka sak o han oh, tiah tha hoiah hang o.
13 But the people [is] numerous, and the season [is] stormy, and there is no power to stand without, and the work is more than enough for one day or for two; for we have greatly sinned in this matter.
Toe kami paroeai pop o moe, cawh tue ah oh pongah, tasa bangah angdoe o thai ai; hae tiah zaehaih sah kami paroeai ka pop o pongah, hae hmuen loe nito maw, ni hnetto hoiah maw pacoeng thai koi hmuen ah om ai.
14 Let now our rulers stand, and for all those in our cities who have taken strange wives, let them come at appointed times, and with them elders from every several city, and judges, to turn away the fierce wrath of our God from us concerning this matter.
Ukkungnawk mah rangpui kaminawk hanah sah pae nasoe; vangpui kruekah kaom prae kalah nongpata zu haih kaminawk boih hanah atue khaek pae oh loe, vangpui kruek ih kacoehtanawk hoi lok takroek kaminawk hoiah nawnto angzo o nasoe; hae hmuen kawng pongah, zitthok aicae Sithaw palungphuihaih aicae khae hoi amlaem let ai karoek to sah o nasoe, tiah a naa o.
15 Only Jonathan the son of Asael, and Jazias the son of Thecoe [were] with me concerning this; and Mesollam, and Sabbathai the Levite helped them.
Asahel capa Jonathan hoi Tikvah capa Jahaziah hnik khue mah ni hae tok hae sak hoi, Levi acaeng Meshullam hoi Shabbethai mah nihnik to abomh hoi.
16 And the children of the captivity did thus: and Esdras the priest, and heads of families according to [their] house were separated, and all by their names, for they returned in the first day of the tenth month to search out the matter.
To pongah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, misong kalaem kaminawk mah sak o. Ezra mah acaeng ukkungnawk to qoih, canawk maeto thung hoiah kami maeto a qoih moe, nihcae ih ahmin to tarik boih; khrah hato haih, ni tangsuek naah, to kawng to lok takroek hanah nawnto anghnut o.
17 And they made an end with all the men who had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month.
Hmaloe koek ih khrah, amtong tangsuekhaih niah, prae kalah nongpata zu haih kaminawk nuiah lokcaekhaih to pacoeng o.
18 And there were found [some] of the sons of the priests who had taken strange wives: of the sons of Jesus the son of Josedec, and his brethren; Maasia, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gadalia.
Prae kalah nongpata zu haih qaimanawk loe, Jeshua ih acaeng, Jozadak ih caa hoi anih ih nawkamyanawk ah kaom, Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib hoi Gedaliah cae hae ni.
19 And they pledged themselves to put away their wives, and [offered] a ram of the flock for a trespass-offering because of their trespass.
Nihcae loe angmacae ih zu to pakhrak hanah lokkam o; a sak o pazae moeng pongah zae angbawn haih hanah, tuu tae maeto a paek o.
