< 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.
Hahoi Cathut im koelah kangvawi teh, tabo teh, ka laihoi Ezra ni yon ngaithoumnae a kâhei. Hatnavah Isarelnaw tamihupui napui, tongpa, camonaw ahni koe a kâracut awh teh, tamihupui teh puenghoi a khuika awh.
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.
Elam catoun thung hoi Jehiel capa Shekaniah ni Ezra koevah, maimouh Cathut koevah yon sak awh tangngak toe, hahoi hete ram dawk e miphun alouke canunaw hah yu lah paluen awh toe. Hatei Isarelnaw hanelah ngaihawinae ao rah doeh.
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.
Hatdawkvah, bawipa ni pouknae na poe e patetlah Cathut e kâpoelawk ka bari e tami ni, yucanaw ceitakhai vaiteh maimae Cathut koe lawkkamnae sak awh vaiteh kâlawk patetlah tarawi awh sei.
4 Arise; for the matter belongs to you, and we are with you. Be courageous, and do it."
Thaw leih, bangkongtetpawiteh, hete heh nange thaw doeh, kaimouh hai nang koe lah doeh kampang awh. Lung kacakcalah awm nateh, tawk leih, telah ati awh.
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.
Hahoi, Ezra a thaw teh, vaihma bawinaw, Levih miphunnaw hoi Isarel taminaw abuemlah, hote lawk patetlah lawkkamnae a sak sak teh, Hot patetlah lawkkamnae a sak awh.
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.
Hahoi, Ezra ni Cathut e im dawk hoi a thaw teh, Eliashib capa Jehohanan e imthung a kâen teh, hawvah rawca hai cat hoeh, tui hai net laipalah ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh, san dawk hoi ka hlout e taminaw yonnae kecu dawk khuika laihoi ao.
7 They made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the descendants of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together to Jerusalem;
San dawk hoi ka hlout e taminaw pueng Jerusalem vah kamkhueng hanelah,
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.
Kahrawikungnaw hoi kacuenaw ni a dei e patetlah hnin 3 touh thung ka tho hoeh e tami teh, san hloutnae dawk hoi pâlei vaiteh, a tawnta e hnopai pueng lawp vaiteh, ama hai pâlei lah ao han telah, Jerusalem hoi kamtawng teh Judah ram totouh a pathang awh.
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.
Hot patetvanlah Judahnaw hoi Benjamin miphun tongpanaw teh hnin 3 touh thung Jerusalem vah a kamkhueng awh. Thapa yung 9, hnin 21 nah kho puenghoi a rak dawkvah, taminaw teh Cathut e im hmalah sut a tahung awh teh a pâyaw awh.
10 Ezra the priest stood up, and said to them, "You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, to increase the guilt of Israel.
Hatnavah, vaihma Ezra ni a thaw teh ahnimouh koevah yonnae na sak awh toe, Isarel miphun dawk yonnae a len nahanelah miphun alouke napuinaw hoi na kâpaluen awh.
11 Now therefore make confession to Jehovah, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women."
Hatdawkvah, mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut koe yon ngaithoum het awh, a ngainae hah sak awh nateh, hete ram dawk e miphun alouke e na yunaw hoi kâkapek awh, telah ati.
12 Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice, "As you have said concerning us, so must we do.
Hahoi, taminaw ni puenghoi kacailah a dei awh e teh, bokheiyah na dei e patetlah ka sak awh roeroe han.
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.
Hateiteh, tami moipap awh teh khoraknae tueng lahai bout ao, alawilah kaimouh pou kangdout thai mahoeh, hahoi hnin hnin touh hoi sak hane lahai tho hoeh, bangkongtetpawiteh, hete hno dawk tami moikapap ni yonnae sak awh toe.
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."
Tamimaya e yueng lah kahrawikungnaw ni mah na pouk pouh lawiseh. Kaimae lathueng vah kalenpounge BAWIPA lungkhueknae a roum nahanelah mae kho dawk Jentelnaw yu lah paluen e khonaw dawk e kahrawikungnaw hoi lawkcengkungnaw ni a tueng khoe e dawk rip tho awh naseh telah, ati awh.
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.
Asahel capa Jonathan hoi Tikvah capa Jahaziah ni hnâ bawt roi hoeh, hatei Levih miphun Meshullam hoi Shabbethai ni teh hnâ a bo roi.
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.
Hahoi san dawk hoi kahloutnaw ni hottelah a sak awh. Vaihma Ezra ni imthung kahrawikungnaw thung hoi minnaw a la e patetlah thapa ayung 10 nae, apasuek hnin navah hote kong kâdei hanelah a kamkhueng awh.
17 And they finished with all the men who had married foreign women by the first day of the first month.
Hahoi Thapa yung pasuek, apasuek hnin nah, miphun alouke yu lah ka lat e kong kâdei e teh a cum awh.
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.
Hahoi, vaihma capanaw thung dawk hoi miphun alouke yu lah ka lat e taminaw teh, Jeshua hoi a hmaunawngha thung e Jozadak capa hoi a hmaunawngha Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib hoi Gedaliah tinaw doeh.
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.
Ahnimanaw ni a yunaw kapek hanelah lawk a kam awh. Yon pâphonae dawk ngaithoum lah o nahanelah, tutan buet touh hoi thuengnae a sak awh.
