Ezra 10
1 Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there assembled unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept very sore.
Wakati Ezra akiomba na kutubu, akalia na kujirusha chini mbele ya nyumba ya Mungu, kusanyiko kubwa la wanaume Israel, wanawake na watoto wakakusanyika kwake, kwa kuwa watu walikuwa wakilia sana.
2 And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing.
Shekania mtoto wa Yehieli, mwana wa Elamu akamwambia Ezra, “Tumekuwa sio waaminifu kwa Mungu na tumeoa wanawake wa kigeni kutoka nchi nyingine. Lakini pamoja na hilo, bado kuna tumaini kwa Israel.
3 Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.
sasa natuweke agano pamoja na Mungu wetu kuwaondoa wanawake wote na watoto wao kulingana na maelekezo ya Bwana, na maelekezo ya wale wanaotetemeka kutokana na amri za Mungu wetu. na hii ifanyike kutokana na sheria.
4 Arise; for this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it.
Simama, jambo hili linakuhusu wewe, na sisis tuko pamoja na wewe, Uwe imara na kufanya hili.
5 Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they should do according to this word. And they sware.
Hivyo Ezra akasimama na kufanya makuhani na walawi na waisrael wote wakaahidi kufanya kwa njia hiyo. Hivyo wote wakatoa kiapo.
6 Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away.
Ndipo Ezra akainuka kutoka mbele ya nyumba ya Mungu na kwenda kwenye chumba ya Yehohanani mtoto wa Eliashibu, Yeye hakula mkate au kunywa maji. Tangu alipokuwa akiomboleza kuhusiana na wale wenye imani haba waliokuwa uhamishoni.
7 And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;
Hivyo wakatuma neno katika Yuda na Yerusalem kwa watu wote waliorudi kutoka utumwani kukusanyika Yerusalem.
8 And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.
Yeyote ambaye hakuja katika siku tatu kutokana na maelekezo kutoka kwa wakuu na viongozi atachukuliwa mali zote na atatengwa na kusanyiko kuu la watu ambao walikuja kutoka uhamisho.
9 Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was 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 this matter, and for the great rain.
Hivyo watu wote wa Yuda na Benjamini wakakusanyika Yerusalem kwa siku tatu. Ilikuwa ni mwezi wa tisa na siku ya ishirini ya mwezi. watu wote wakasimama mbele ya nyumba ya Mungu na wakatetemeka kwa sababu ya neno na mvua.
10 And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel.
Ezra kuhani akasimama na kusema, “Ninyi wenyewe mmefanya uasi, ninyi mmeishi na wanawake wa kigeni na kuongeza makosa ya Israel.
11 Now therefore make confession unto Yhwh God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives.
Lakini sasa mpeni sifa Yahwe, Mungu wa watangulizi wenu, na mfanye mapenzi yake, mjitenge na watu wa nchi na wanawake wa kigeni.
12 Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do.
Kusanyiko lote likajibu kwa sauti. “Tutatenda kama ulivyosema,
13 But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.
haijalishi, kuna watu wengi na ni kipindi cha mvua. Hatuna nguvu ya kusimama nje na hii si siku moja au mbili za kufanya kazi, kwa kuwa tumekosea katika jambo hili.
14 Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them which have taken strange wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter be turned from us.
Hivyo wakuu wetu wawakilishe kusanyiko lote, iwe kwamba wote walioruhusu wanawake wa kigeni kuishi katika miji yetu waje katika muda uliopangwa na viongozi wa mji na waamuzi wa mji hadi hapo hasira ya Mungu itakapoondoka kutoka kwetu.
15 Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah were employed about this matter: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
Yonathan mtoto Asaheli na Yazeya mwana wa Tikwa wakapinga hili, Meshulamu na Shabethai mlawi wakawaunga mkono wao.
16 And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain chief of the fathers, after the house of their fathers, and all of them by their names, were separated, and sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
Hivyo watu waliotoka uhamishoni wakafanya hivi, Ezra kuhani akachagua wanaume, viongozi watamgulizi wa ukoo na nyumba, wao wote kwa majina na wakaliangalia suala hili siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa kumi.
17 And they made an end with all the men that had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month.
Siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa kwanza wakawa wamemaliza kuchunguza wale wanaume walioishi na wanawake wa kigeni.
18 And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken strange wives: namely, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren; Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
Miongoni mwa wana wa kikuhani kuna wale walioishi na wanawake wa kigeni. Miongoni mwa wana wa Yoshua mtoto wa Yosadaki na kaka zake ambao walikuwa Maasela, Eliazeri, na Yaribu na Gedalia.
19 And they gave their hands that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their trespass.
Hivyo wakaamua kuwaondoa wake zao. kwa kuwa walikuwa na makosa, wakatoa sadaka ya kondoo kwenye mifugo kwa ajili ya makosa yao.
