Ezra 10
1 Therefore, as Ezra was praying, and imploring, and weeping in this way, and was prostrate before the temple of God, an exceedingly great assembly of men and women and children was gathered to him from Israel. And the people wept with a great weeping.
Wana Esidrasi azalaki kobondela mpe kotubela masumu, azalaki ya kofukama mpe azalaki kolela liboso ya Ndako ya Nzambe. Ebele ya bana ya Isalaele: mibali, basi mpe bana, basanganaki pene na ye mpe, bango nyonso, bazalaki kolela makasi.
2 And Shecaniah, the son of Jehiel, from the sons of Elam, responded and said to Ezra: “We have sinned against our God, and have taken foreign wives from the peoples of the land. And now, if there is repentance within Israel over this,
Bongo Shekania, mwana mobali ya Yeyeli, moko kati na bakitani ya Elami, alobaki na Esidrasi: « Solo, tosalaki makambo ya mbindo na miso ya Nzambe na biso, pamba te tobali basi ya bapaya kati na bikolo oyo ezali elongo na biso kati na mboka oyo; kasi atako bongo, elikya ezali nanu mpo na Isalaele!
3 let us strike a pact with the Lord our God, so that we may cast aside all the wives, and those who have been born from them, in accord with the will of the Lord, and of those who fear the precept of the Lord our God. So let it be done, according to the law.
Sik’oyo, tika ete tosala boyokani elongo na Nzambe na biso mpo na kobengana basi wana nyonso elongo na bana na bango, kolanda toli na yo Esidrasi, nkolo na ngai, mpe kolanda toli ya bato nyonso oyo balengaka liboso ya mibeko ya Nzambe na biso! Tika ete esalema kolanda Mobeko!
4 Rise up. It is for you to discern, and we shall be with you. Be strengthened and act.”
Telema, pamba te yo nde osengeli kotala likambo oyo! Tozali elongo na yo mpo na kosunga yo. Yika mpiko mpe sala! »
5 Therefore, Ezra rose up, and he caused the leaders of the priests and the Levites, and all of Israel, to swear that they would act in accord with this word. And they swore it.
Esidrasi atelemaki mpe asengaki na bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, Balevi mpe bana nyonso ya Isalaele kolapa ndayi ete bakosalela makambo oyo ndenge elobami. Mpe balapaki ndayi.
6 And Ezra rose up before the house of God, and he went away to the chamber of Jehohanan, the son of Eliashib, and he entered into it. He did not eat bread, and he did not drink water. For he was mourning the transgression of those who had arrived from the captivity.
Bongo Esidrasi alongwaki liboso ya Ndako ya Nzambe mpe akendeki na shambre ya Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Eliashibi. Wana azalaki kuna, atikalaki kolia eloko moko te mpe komela mayi te; pamba te azalaki kokoba kosala matanga likolo ya makambo ya mbindo ya bato oyo bawutaki na bowumbu.
7 And a voice was sent into Judah and Jerusalem, to all the sons of the transmigration, so that they would gather together in Jerusalem.
Bapanzaki sango kati na Yuda mpe na Yelusalemi ete bato nyonso oyo bawutaki na bowumbu basangana na Yelusalemi.
8 And all those who would not arrive within three days, in accord with the counsel of the leaders and the elders, would have all his substance taken away, and he would be cast out of the assembly of the transmigration.
Kolanda mokano ya bakalaka mpe bakambi ya bato, moto nyonso oyo akomonana te sima na mikolo misato, bakobotola biloko na ye nyonso mpe bakolongola ye na lisanga ya bato oyo bawutaki na bowumbu.
9 And so, all the men of Judah and of Benjamin convened in Jerusalem within three days. This was in the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month. And all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of the sin and the rain.
Sima na mikolo yango misato, bato nyonso ya Yuda mpe ya Benjame basanganaki na Yelusalemi. Na mokolo ya tuku mibale ya sanza ya libwa, bato nyonso bavandaki kati na lopango, liboso ya Ndako ya Nzambe, mpe bazalaki kolenga makasi likolo ya makambo oyo mpe mpo ete mvula ezalaki kobeta makasi.
10 And Ezra, the priest, rose up, and he said to them: “You have transgressed, and you have taken foreign wives, so that you added to the offenses of Israel.
Nganga-Nzambe Esidrasi atelemaki mpe alobaki na bango: — Bosalaki makambo ya mbindo awa bobalaki basi ya bapaya; mpe, na nzela na yango, bobakiselaki Isalaele ngambo.
11 And now, make confession to the Lord, the God of your fathers, and do what pleases him, and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from your foreign wives.”
Sik’oyo, boyambola masumu na bino epai na Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bino, mpe bokokisa mokano na Ye! Bokabwana na bato ya bikolo ya bapaya oyo bazali kati na bino mpe bokabwana na basi na bino ya bapaya.
12 And the entire multitude responded, and they said with a great voice: “In accord with your word to us, so let be it done.
Lisanga mobimba ezongisaki na mongongo makasi: — Ezali se bongo, tokosala ndenge olobi!
13 Yet truly, since the people are many, and it is the time of rain, and we cannot endure standing outside, and this is not a task for one or two days, (for certainly we have sinned greatly in this matter, )
Nzokande tozali bato ebele awa, mpe ezali eleko ya mvula; tokoki kowumela na libanda te. Kutu, ezali te likambo ya mokolo moko to ya mikolo mibale, pamba te ebele kati na biso basali masumu kati na likambo oyo.
14 let leaders be appointed among the entire multitude. And in all our cities, let those who have taken foreign wives arrive at appointed times, and with them the elders from city to city, and the judges, until the wrath of our God has been averted from us over this sin.”
Tika ete bakambi na biso batikala awa na esika ya lisanga mobimba! Mpe tika ete bato nyonso oyo, kati na bingumba na biso, babalaki basi ya bapaya bakende liboso ya bakambi mpe basambisi ya engumba moko na moko, na mikolo oyo bakokatela bango, kino kanda makasi ya Nzambe na biso ekolongwa kati na biso na tina na likambo yango.
15 And so Jonathan, the son of Asahel, and Jahzeiah, the son of Tikvah, were appointed over this, and the Levites Meshullam and Shabbethai assisted them.
Kaka Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Azaeli, mpe Yakizia, mwana mobali ya Tikiva, elongo na Meshulami mpe Shabetayi, moto ya libota ya Levi, nde batelemelaki mokano oyo.
16 And the sons of the transmigration did so. And Ezra, the priest, and the men who were the leaders of the families in the houses of their fathers, and all according to their names, went and sat down, on the first day of the tenth month, so that they might examine the matter.
Kasi bato oyo bawutaki na bowumbu basalaki ndenge elobamaki. Nganga-Nzambe Esidrasi aponaki bakambi ya mabota, moko mpo na libota moko na moko, mpe abengaki bango nyonso na bakombo na bango. Babandaki kovanda mpo na koyekola makambo yango na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya zomi.
17 And they made an end with all the men who had taken foreign wives, by the first day of the first month.
Mpe, na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya liboso, basilisaki koyekola makambo ya mibali nyonso oyo babalaki basi ya bapaya.
18 And there were found among the sons of the priests some who had taken foreign wives: From the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
Tala kati na bakitani ya Banganga-Nzambe, mibali oyo babalaki basi ya bapaya: Kati na bakitani ya Jozue, mwana mobali ya Yotsadaki elongo na bandeko na ye ya mibali: Maaseya, Eliezeri, Yaribi mpe Gedalia.
19 And they swore with their hands that they would cast aside their wives, and that they would offer for their offense a ram from among the sheep.
Bango nyonso batombolaki maboko mpo na kozwa mokano ya kobengana basi na bango mpe ya kobonza meme ya mobali lokola mbeka mpo na masumu na bango.
