Ezra 10
1 Now while Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before God's house, there was gathered together to him out of Israel a very great assembly of men and women and children; for the people wept very bitterly.
Esdras menm te ajenou toujou, fas atè, devan Kay Bondye a, li t'ap lapriyè. Dlo nan je, li t'ap rekonèt tout fòt pèp la te fè devan Bondye. Pandan li t'ap fè sa, yon foul moun pèp Izrayèl la, gason, fanm ak timoun, vin sanble fè wonn bò kote l'. Dlo t'ap ponpe nan je yo tout.
2 Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered Ezra, "We have trespassed against our God, and have married foreign women of the peoples of the land. Yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.
Le sa a, Chekanya, pitit gason Jeyèl la, nan branch fanmi Elam lan, pran lapawòl. Li di Esdras konsa: -Nou trayi Bondye nou an vre lè nou pran fanm lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan peyi a pou madanm nou. Men malgre sa, mwen kwè gen espwa toujou pou pèp Izrayèl la.
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 who tremble at the commandment of our God. Let it be done according to the law.
Nou tout pral pran angajman an piblik devan Bondye pou nou ranvwaye tout medam sa yo ansanm ak pitit yo fè pou nou. Wi, mèt, nou pral swiv konsèy ou menm ak lòt moun ki gen respè pou kòmandman Bondye nou an te ban nou. Se pou nou fè tou sa lalwa Bondye a mande nou fè.
4 Arise; for the matter belongs to you, and we are with you. Be courageous, and do it."
Leve non! Se ou menm ki pou regle bagay sa a. N'ap kanpe la avè ou! Kouraj! Annavan!
5 Then Ezra arose, and made the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. So they swore.
Lè sa a, Esdras leve, li fè chèf prèt yo, chèf moun Levi yo ak tout rès moun yo sèmante yo pral fè sa Chekanya te di a. Yo sèmante vre.
6 Then Ezra rose up from before God's house, and went into the room of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came there, he ate no bread, nor drank water; for he mourned because of their trespass of the captivity.
Apre sa, Esdras ale lakay Jokanan, pitit gason Eliyachib la, sou devan tanp Bondye a. Li pase nwit lan la, san manje, san bwè, paske li te nan gwo lapenn dèske moun yo te depòte epi ki te tounen nan peyi a pa t' kenbe pawòl yo.
7 They made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the descendants of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together to Jerusalem;
Yo fè yon piblikasyon nan tout peyi Jida a ak nan lavil Jerizalèm, pou mande tout moun ki te tounen soti nan peyi kote yo te depòte yo a pou yo tout te reyini lavil Jerizalèm.
8 and that whoever did not come within three days, according to the counsel of the officials and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the assembly of the captivity.
Si yon moun kite twa jou pase li pa moute, tout chèf yo ak tout moun ki an tèt branch fanmi yo te dakò pou yo te sezi tout byen moun sa a, pou yo te fè tanp Bondye a kado l', lèfini pou yo pa t' konsidere l' tankou moun sosyete a ankò avèk rès moun ki te tounen soti kote yo te depòte yo a.
9 Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together to Jerusalem within the three days; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month: and all the people sat in the broad place before God's house, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.
Nan twa jou vre, ki te ventyèm jou nan nevyèm mwa a, tout gason ki t'ap viv sou pòsyon tè ki te pou branch fanmi Jida ak branch fanmi Benjamen yo te sanble lavil Jerizalèm. Yo rete sou plas piblik ki devan tanp Bondye a. Yon gwo lapli t'ap tonbe. Tout moun t'ap tranble, yo te frèt, men yo te pè tou paske se te yon gwo zafè.
10 Ezra the priest stood up, and said to them, "You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, to increase the guilt of Israel.
Lè sa a, Esdras, prèt la, leve, li di yo: -Lè nou marye ak fanm lòt nasyon yo, se trayi nou trayi Bondye. Se mete nou mete sou tou sa k'ap fèt mal deja nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la.
11 Now therefore make confession to the LORD, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women."
Men koulye a, rekonèt devan Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, sa nou fè ki mal la. Fè sa li vle nou fè a: pran distans nou ak moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan peyi a. Separe ak fanm nou te pran pami lòt nasyon yo pou madanm.
12 Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice, "As you have said concerning us, so must we do.
Tout pèp la pran reponn byen fò: -Wi. N'ap fè tou sa ou mande nou fè!
13 But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand outside; neither is this a work of one day or two; for we have greatly transgressed in this matter.
Men pèp la anpil. Se sezon lapli. Nou pa ka rete deyò a konsa. Epitou, se pa bagay k'ap pran yon jou osinon de jou, paske gen anpil nan nou ki koupab nan zafè sa a.
14 Let now our leaders represent the whole assembly, and let all those who are in our cities who have married foreign women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and its judges, until the fierce wrath of our God be turned from us, until this matter is resolved."
Se pou chèf nou yo rete isit la nan plas nou pou regle bagay la. Nan dat y'a fikse a, tout moun nan peyi a ki marye ak yon fanm lòt nasyon va vin parèt devan yo. Chèf fanmi yo ak jij k'ap dirije lavil kote moun lan rete a va vin avè l'. Konsa konsa, jouk kòlè Bondye ki te tonbe sou nou poutèt bagay sa a va bese.
15 Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
Tout moun te dakò esepte Jonatan, pitit gason Asayèl, ak Jaksya, pitit gason Tikva a, ki te kont. Machoulam ak Chabtayi, yon moun Levi, te pran pozisyon ak yo tou.
16 But the descendants of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest selected for himself men, heads of fathers' houses, according to their fathers' houses, and all of them by their names. So they began their sessions on the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
Men, moun ki te tounen soti nan peyi kote yo te depòte yo a te dakò ak sa yo te mande yo fè a. Esdras, prèt la, fè chwazi kèk moun ki te chèf branch fanmi pou ede l' nan travay la. Li pran non yo sou lis. Epi se konsa, depi premye jou dizyèm mwa a yo chita nan tribinal, y'ap egzaminen ka chak moun yonn apre lòt.
17 And they finished with all the men who had married foreign women by the first day of the first month.
Apre twa mwa, jou pou jou, lè premye jou premye mwa a rive, yo te fin regle zafè tout moun ki te marye ak fanm lòt nasyon yo.
18 Among the sons of the priests there were found who had married foreign women: of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
Men lis gason ki te marye ak fanm lòt nasyon yo: Pami prèt yo, nan branch fanmi Jozye a, pitit Jeozadak la ak nan branch fanmi frè l' yo, te gen Maseja, Elyezè ak Gedalya.
19 They gave their hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their guilt.
Yo fè sèman y'ap ranvwaye madanm yo, epi yo ofri yon belye mouton bay Seyè a pou mande li padon pou fòt yo te fè a.
