< 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.
Utuma Izraan mana Waaqaa duratti lafaan of dhaʼee booʼaa, cubbuu himachaa, kadhachaa jiruu Israaʼeloonni akka malee hedduun dhiironni, dubartoonnii fi ijoolleen naannoo isaatti walitti ni qabaman. Isaanis hiqqifatanii booʼan.
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.
Ergasiis sanyii Eelaam keessaa Shekaaniyaan ilmi Yehiiʼeel Izraadhaan akkana jedhe; “Nu waan saboota naannoo keenya jiraatan keessaa dubartoota ormaa fuuneef Waaqa keenyaaf hin amanamne. Wanni kun taʼu illee amma iyyuu Israaʼeliif abdiin jira.
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.
Kanaafuu kottaa akkuma gorsa gooftaa koo fi kan warra ajaja Waaqa keenyaa sodaatanitti dubartoota kanneenii fi ijoollee isaanii hunda of irraa geggeessuuf fuula Waaqa keenyaa duratti kakuu ni galla. Kunis akkuma Seeraatti haa raawwatamu.
4 Arise; for this matter is obligatory upon thee; and we will be with thee: be strong, and do it.
Kaʼi; wanni kun suma harka jira. Nu si deeggarra; egaa jabaadhuu hojjedhu.”
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.
Kanaafuu Izraan kaʼee akka isaan waan jedhame sana raawwataniif luboota hangafoota, Lewwotaa fi Israaʼel hunda ni kakachiise; isaanis ni kakatan.
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.
Ergasii Izraan fuula mana Waaqaa duraa kaʼee kutaa manaa kan Yehohaanaan ilma Eliyaashiib seene. Inni yeroo achi turetti nyaata tokko illee hin nyaanne; bishaanis hin dhugne; sababii amanamummaa dhabiisa warra boojuudhaa deebiʼaniif gaddaa tureetii.
7 And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the exile, to gather themselves together at Jerusalem;
Ergasii akka warri boojuudhaa deebiʼan hundi Yerusaalem keessatti walitti qabamaniif Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem guutuu keessatti labsiin ni labsame.
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.
Namni kam iyyuu bultii sadii keessatti yoo dhiʼaachuu baate akkuma murtii qondaaltotaa fi maanguddootaatti qabeenyi isaa hundi irraa ni fudhatama; inni mataan isaas waldaa warra boojuudhaa deebiʼee keessaa ni ariʼama.
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.
Bultii sadan sana keessatti namoonni Yihuudaa fi Beniyaam hundi Yerusaalem keessatti walitti qabaman. Bultii digdammaffaa jiʼa saglaffaatti namoonni hundi sababii waan kanaa fi sababii rooba guddaatiif akka malee raafamanii oobdii mana Waaqaa dura jiru irra ni tataaʼan.
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.
Izraan lubichi ol kaʼee akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Isin amanamoo hin turre; dubartoota ormaa fuudhuudhaanis Israaʼel irratti yakka dabaltaniirtu.
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.
Egaa amma cubbuu keessan Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii keessanitti himadhaatii fedhii isaa guutaa. Saboota naannoo keessan jiraatanii fi niitota warra ormaa keessaa fuutaniin gargar baʼaa.”
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.
Guutummaan waldaa sanaa akkana jedhee sagalee guddaadhaan deebise: “Ati sirrii dha! Nu akkuma ati jette gochuu qabna.
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.
Garuu nama hedduutu as jira; yeroon kunis yeroo roobaa ti; kanaafuu nu ala dhaabachuu hin dandeenyu. Sababii nu waan kana keessatti cubbuu guddaa hojjenneef wanni kun guyyaa tokkotti yookaan guyyaa lamatti fala argachuu hin dandaʼu.
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.
Qondaaltonni keenya iddoo waldaa guutuu haa buʼan. Ergasii namni magaalaawwan keenyaa kan dubartii ormaa fuudhe kam iyyuu hamma dheekkamsi Waaqa keenyaa sodaachisaan sababii waan kanaatiif dhufe sun nurraa deebiʼutti maanguddootaa fi abbootii murtii tokkoo tokkoo magaalaa wajjin yeroo murteeffametti haa dhufu.”
15 Only Jonathan the son of 'Assahel and Jachzeyah the son of Thikvah withstood this [proposal]: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite assisted them.
Yoonaataan ilma Asaaheelii fi Yahizeyaa ilma Tiqwaa qofatu waan kana morme; Meshulaamii fi Shaabetaayi Lewwichi immoo isaan deeggaran.
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.
Warri boojuudhaa deebiʼan sunis akkasuma godhan. Izraan lubichis namoota hangafoota maatii taʼan tokkoo tokkoo garee maatii keessaa nama tokko filatee hunduma isaanii maqaa maqaan ramade. Isaanis bultii tokkoffaa jiʼa kurnaffaatti dhimma sana qorachuudhaaf tataaʼanii
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.
guyyaa tokkoffaa jiʼa jalqabaatti waaʼee namoota dubartoota ormaa fuudhan hundaa qoratanii fixan.
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.

19 And they gave their hand to put away their wives, and being guilty, [they offered] a ram of the flock for their trespass.
Isaan hundinuu niitota isaanii hiikuudhaaf waadaa ni galan; tokkoon tokkoon isaanii balleessaa ofii isaaniitiif bushaayee keessaa korbeessa hoolaa tokko aarsaa yakkaatiif ni dhiʼeessan.
