Ezra 10
1 Now when Esdras was thus praying, and beseeching, and weeping, and lying before the temple of God, there was gathered to him of Israel an exceeding great assembly of men and women and children, and the people wept with much lamentation.
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 Sechenias the son of Jehiel of the sons of Elam answered, and said to Esdras: We have sinned against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: and now if there be repentance in Israel concerning this,
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 make a covenant with the Lord our God, to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the will of the Lord, and of them that fear the commandment of the Lord our God: let it be done according to 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 Arise, it is thy part to give orders, and we will be with thee: take courage, and do it.
Biko, bilie gwa anyị ụzọ anyị ga-esi dozie ihe niile mebiri emebi. Anyị ga-eme ihe i kwuru.”
5 So Esdras arose, and made the chiefs of the priests and of the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word, and they swore.
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 And Esdras rose up from before the house of God, and went to the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliasib, and entered in thither: he ate no bread, and drank no water: for he mourned for the transgression of them that were come out of the captivity.
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 proclamation was made in Juda and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should assemble together into Jerusalem.
E zisara ozi na Juda na Jerusalem niile na a chọrọ ịhụ ndị niile si esi lọta na Jerusalem.
8 And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the ancients, all his substance should be taken away, and he should be cast out of the company of them that were returned from captivity.
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 Juda, and Benjamin gathered themselves together to Jerusalem within three days, in the ninth month, 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.
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 Esdras the priest stood up, and said to them: You have transgressed, and taken strange wives, to add to the sins 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 And now make confession to the Lord the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure, and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from your strange wives.
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 And all the multitude answered and said with a loud voice: According to thy word unto us, so be it done.
Nzukọ niile ahụ zara nʼotu olu sị. “Okwu gị ziri ezi, Anyị aghaghị ime dịka i kwuru.”
13 But as the people are many, and it is time of rain, and me are not able to stand without, and it is not a work of one day or two, (for we have exceedingly sinned in this matter, )
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 Let rulers be appointed in all the multitude: and in all our cities, let them that have taken strange wives come at the times appointed, and with them the ancients and the judges of every city, until the wrath of our God be turned away from us for this sin.
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 Then Jonathan the son of Azahel, and Jaasia the son of Thecua were appointed over this, and Mesollam and Sebethai, Levites, helped 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 And the children of the captivity did so. And Esdras the priest, and the men heads of the families in the houses of their fathers, and all by their names, went and sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
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 made an end with all the men that had taken strange wives 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 there were found among the sons of the priests that had taken strange wives: Of the sons of Josue the son of Josedec, and his brethren, Maasia, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Godolia.

19 And they gave their hands to put away their wives, and to offer for their offence a ram of the flock.
