Ezra 10
1 Now when 'Ezra prayed, and when he made his confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there gathered themselves unto him out of Israel a very large assembly of men and women and children; for the people wept exceedingly much.
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 Thereupon commenced Shechanyah the son of Jechiel, of the sons of 'Elam, and said unto 'Ezra, we have indeed trespassed against our God, and have brought home strange wives of the nations of the land: yet now there is hope in 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 And now let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the direction of the Lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God: and let it be done according to the law.
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; for this matter is obligatory upon thee; and we will be with thee: be strong, and do it.
Chungʼ malo; wachni ni e lweti. Wabiro konyi; omiyo jiwri kendo itime.”
5 Then arose 'Ezra, and caused the princes of the priests, the Levites, and of all Israel, to swear to 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 Then arose 'Ezra from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jochanan the son of Elyashib; and he went thither without having eaten bread, or having drunk water; for he was mourning because of the trespass of the exiles.
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 Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the exile, to gather themselves together at Jerusalem;
Eka nogo milome e Juda kod Jerusalem ni jogo duto mane oa e twech mondo ochokre Jerusalem.
8 And that whosoever should not come within three days, according to the resolve of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be devoted, and himself separated from the congregation of the exiles.
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 Then were all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered together unto Jerusalem within three days: it was in the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the open place before the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and by reason of the showers of rain.
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 'Ezra the priest rose up, and said unto them, Ye have acted unfaithfully, and have brought home strange wives, to increase yet more the guiltiness 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 make confession unto the Lord the God of your fathers, and do his will; and separate yourselves from the nations of the earth, 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 answered all the assembly and said with a loud voice, So be it: according to thy word it is our duty to do.
Chokruok mar ogandani duto nodwoko gi dwol maduongʼ niya, “In kare! Nyaka watim kaka iwacho.
13 But the people are many, and it is the rainy season, and we have not the strength to remain in the street, nor is this a work for one day or for two days; for we are many that have transgressed 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 however our princes stand forward for all the congregation, and let all those in our cities who have brought home strange wives come at appointed times, and with them the elders of each and every city, and its judges, until the fierce wrath of our God be turned away from us for this whole 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 'Assahel and Jachzeyah the son of Thikvah withstood this [proposal]: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite assisted 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 exile did so. And then were set apart 'Ezra the priest, [and] certain chiefs of the divisions, for their family divisions, and all of them [designated] by their names; and they sat down on the first day of the tenth month to examine 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, with the men that had brought home strange wives, not before 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 among the sons of the priests that had brought home strange wives, namely, of the sons of Jeshua' the son of Jozadak, and his brethren: Ma'asseyah, and Eli'ezer, and Jarib, and Gedalyah.
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 gave their hand to put away their wives, and being guilty, [they offered] a ram of the flock for 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.
