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.
Kane Ezra lemo kendo hulo richo, koywak kendo kongʼielore piny e nyim od Nyasaye, oganda maduongʼ mar jo-Israel; chwo, mon kod nyithindo nochokore kolwore. Gin bende ne giywak malit.
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.
Eka Shekania wuod Jehiel, achiel kuom nyikwa Elam, nowachone Ezra niya, “Ok wasebedo jo-ratiro ni Nyasachwa kuom kendo nyiri ma ok jo-Yahudi. To kata ka wasetimo kamano, to jo-Israel pod nigi geno.
3 Now then let us make a covenant with our God, to put away all the wives, and their offspring, as you shall advise:
Koro we walos singo e nyim Nyasachwa mondo oriemb mon-gi kod nyithindgi duto, kaluwore gi ngʼado rieko mar Ruoth Nyasachwa kod jogo moluoro chike mag Nyasachwa. We time kaluwore gi Chik.
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.
Chungʼ malo; wachni ni e lweti. Wabiro konyi; omiyo jiwri kendo itime.”
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.
Omiyo Ezra noa malo mi oketo jonabi gi jo-Lawi ma jotelo kod jo-Israel duto e bwo kwongʼruok mondo otim gima ne osepar. Omiyo negitimo kwongʼruokno.
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.
Eka Ezra noa e nyim od Nyasaye mi odhi e agoch Jehohanan wuod Eliashib. E sa mane en kanyo, ne ok ochamo chiemo kendo ne ok omodho pi, nikech nodhi nyime kokuyo kuom bedo maonge ratiro mar joma noa e twech.
7 And they made proclamation throughout Juda and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should assemble at Jerusalem, [saying],
Eka nogo milome e Juda kod Jerusalem ni jogo duto mane oa e twech mondo ochokre Jerusalem.
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.
Ngʼato angʼata ma ok onenore e thuolo mar ndalo adek biro lalo gige duto, kaluwore gi gima jotelo kod jodongo ongʼado, kendo enodire oko mar chokruok mar joma noa e twech.
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.
Kuom thuolo mar ndalo adek joma chwo moa Juda kod Benjamin duto nochokore Jerusalem. To e odiechiengʼ mar piero ariyo mar dwe mar ochiko, ji nobet e laru manie nyim od Nyasaye, ka gionge gi kwe nikech wachno kendo nikech koth ne goyogi.
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.
Eka Ezra ma jadolo noa malo kendo owachonegi niya, “Usebedo joma ok nikare; usekendo mond dhoudi mamoko, mumedo ketho mar jo-Israel.
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.
Koro miuru Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kwereu duongʼ, kendo utim dwarone. Thegreuru gi joma ni butu kod mondeu mag dhoudi mamoko.”
12 Then all the congregation answered and said, This your word [is] powerful upon us to do it.
Chokruok mar ogandani duto nodwoko gi dwol maduongʼ niya, “In kare! Nyaka watim kaka iwacho.
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.
To nitiere ji mangʼeny kae kendo en kinde koth, omiyo ok wanyal chungʼ oko. Ewi mano wachni ok nyal losi gi ndalo achiel kata ariyo, nikech wasetimo richo maduongʼ e gini.
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.
We jotendwa otime e lo chokruokni duto. Eka we ngʼato ka ngʼato mosekendo nyi joma ok jo-Yahudi obi e sa moketi, kaachiel gi jodongo kod jongʼad bura moa dala ka dala, nyaka mirima mager mar Nyasachwa kuom wachni ogol kuomwa.”
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.
Ji duto noyie timo kamano, makmana Jonathan wuod Asahel gi Jazeya wuod Tikva, koriwe lwedo gi Meshulam kod Shabethai ja-Lawi, ema notamore.
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.
Omiyo joma noa e twech notimo kaka nochan. Ezra jadolo noyiero chwo mane jotend dhoudi, achiel koa e migawo mar dhoot ka dhoot, kendo giduto noluongogi gi nying-gi. E odiechiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mar apar negibedo piny mondo ginon wechegi,
17 And they made an end with all the men who had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month.
kendo kochopo odiechiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mokwongo negitieko gi chwo mane okendo mon moa e dhoudi mamoko.
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.
Kuom nyikwa jodolo, magi ema nokendo nyi joma ok jo-Yahudi. Koa e nyikwa Jeshua wuod Jozadak, kod owetene: Maseya, Eliezer, Jarib gi Gedalia.
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.
Negitingʼo bedegi kaka singruok mar riembo mondegi, kendo kuom ketho mag-gi negichiwo im ngʼato ka ngʼato koa e kweth kaka misango mar pwodhruok e ketho.
