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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 is obligatory upon thee; and we will be with thee: be strong, and do it.
Simama, jambo hili linakuhusu wewe, na sisis tuko pamoja na wewe, Uwe imara na kufanya hili.
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.
Hivyo Ezra akasimama na kufanya makuhani na walawi na waisrael wote wakaahidi kufanya kwa njia hiyo. Hivyo wote wakatoa kiapo.
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.
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 exile, to gather themselves together at Jerusalem;
Hivyo wakatuma neno katika Yuda na Yerusalem kwa watu wote waliorudi kutoka utumwani kukusanyika Yerusalem.
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.
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 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.
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 rose up, and said unto them, Ye have acted unfaithfully, and have brought home strange wives, to increase yet more the guiltiness 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 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.
Lakini sasa mpeni sifa Yahwe, Mungu wa watangulizi wenu, na mfanye mapenzi yake, mjitenge na watu wa nchi na wanawake wa kigeni.
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.
Kusanyiko lote likajibu kwa sauti. “Tutatenda kama ulivyosema,
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.
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 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.
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 'Assahel and Jachzeyah the son of Thikvah withstood this [proposal]: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite assisted them.
Yonathan mtoto Asaheli na Yazeya mwana wa Tikwa wakapinga hili, Meshulamu na Shabethai mlawi wakawaunga mkono wao.
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.
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, with the men that had brought home strange wives, not before 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 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.
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 hand to 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.
