Ezra 10
1 And at Ezra’s praying, and at his making confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there have been gathered to him out of Israel a very great assembly—men and women and children—for the people have wept, multiplying weeping.
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 Shechaniah son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, answers and says to Ezra, “We have trespassed against our God, and we settle strange women of the peoples of the land; and now there is hope for 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 and now, let us make a covenant with our God, to cause all the women to go out, and that which is born of them, by the counsel of the Lord, and of those trembling at the command of our God, and according to law it is done;
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 rise, for on you [is] the matter, and we [are] with you; be strong, and do.”
Biko, bilie gwa anyị ụzọ anyị ga-esi dozie ihe niile mebiri emebi. Anyị ga-eme ihe i kwuru.”
5 And Ezra rises, and causes the heads of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear to do according to this word—and they swear.
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 Ezra rises from before the house of God, and goes to the chamber of Jehohanan son of Eliashib; indeed, he goes there, bread he has not eaten, and water he has not drunk, for he is mourning because of the trespass of the expulsion.
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 they cause a voice to pass over into Judah and Jerusalem, to all sons of the expulsion, to be gathered to Jerusalem,
E zisara ozi na Juda na Jerusalem niile na a chọrọ ịhụ ndị niile si esi lọta na Jerusalem.
8 and everyone who does not come in by the third day, according to the counsel of the heads and the elderly, all his substance is devoted, and himself separated from the assembly of the expulsion.
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 And all the men of Judah and Benjamin are gathered to Jerusalem by the third day, it [is] the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month, and all the people sit in the broad place of the house of God, trembling on account of the matter and of the showers.
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 Ezra the priest rises and says to them, “You have trespassed, and you settle strange women, to add to the guilt 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 YHWH, God of your fathers, and do His good pleasure, and be separated from the peoples of the land, and from the strange women.”
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 assembly answers and says [with] a great voice, “Right; according to your word—on us to do;
Nzukọ niile ahụ zara nʼotu olu sị. “Okwu gị ziri ezi, Anyị aghaghị ime dịka i kwuru.”
13 but the people [are] many, and [it is] the time of showers, and there is no power to stand outside, and the work [is] not for one day, nor for two, for we have multiplied to transgress in this thing.
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 Please let our heads of all the assembly stand; and all who [are] in our cities, who have settled strange wives, come in at [the] appointed times, and with them [the] elderly of city and city, and judges in it, until the turning back of the fury of the wrath of our God from us, for this thing.”
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 Only Jonathan son of Asahel, and Jahaziah son of Tikvah, stood against this, and Meshullam, and Shabbethai the Levite, 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 sons of the expulsion do so, and Ezra the priest, [and] men, heads of the fathers, for the house of their fathers, are separated, even all of them by name, and they sit on 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 finish with all the men who have settled strange women to 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.

19 and they give their hand to send out their wives, and being guilty, a ram of the flock for their guilt.
