< 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.
Ezra mah Sithaw im hmaa ah akuep moe, mikkhraetui hoi zae taphonghaih hoiah lawkthuih naah, kami paroeai pop Israel nongpa, nongpatanawk hoi nawktanawk boih, Ezra khaeah angpop o moe, qah o.
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.
To naah Elam acaeng, Jehiel capa Shekaniah mah Ezra khaeah, Aicae taengah kaom prae kalah nongpatanawk to zu ah a lak o pongah, aimacae ih Sithaw hmaa ah zaehaih a sak o boeh, toe Israel hanah oephaih oh vop.
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.
To pongah vaihiah ka angraeng hoi aicae Sithaw lokpaekhaih zii kaminawk mah thuitaek ih lok baktih toengah, a zu hoi acaa nawktanawk haek o boih hanah, aicae Sithaw khaeah lokkamhaih sah si, kaalok baktih toengah sah o si.
4 Arise; for the matter belongs to you, and we are with you. Be courageous, and do it."
Angthawk ah; hae hmuen loe na ban ah ni oh; misahoihaih hoiah sah ah, kaicae mah doeh kang doet o haih toeng han hmang, tiah a naa.
5 Then Ezra arose, and made the chiefs of the cohanim, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. So they swore.
To pongah Ezra mah angthawk moe, qaima zaehoikungnawk, Levinawk hoi Israelnawk khaeah a thuih o ih lok baktih toengah sak o hanah lokkamsak boih.
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.
To pacoengah Ezra loe Sithaw im hmaa hoiah angthawk moe, Eliashib capa Jehohanan imthung ah caeh; to ah oh naah doeh, misong ah kalaem kaminawk ih zaehaih pongah, buh to caa ai moe, tui doeh nae ai.
7 They made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the descendants of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together to Jerusalem;
Misong ah kalaem kaminawk loe, Jerusalem ah amkhueng hanah,
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.
ni thumto thung amtueng ai kami loe, ukkungnawk hoi kacoehtanawk ih lok takroekhaih baktih toengah, a tawnh o ih hmuennawk to lomh pae boih moe, misong ah kalaem kaminawk amkhuenghaih thung hoiah haek han oh tiah, Judah hoi Jerusalem boih ah taphong o.
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.
Judah hoi Benjamin kaminawk boih, ni thumto pacoeng, khrah takawtto haih, ni pumphaeto naah, Jerusalem ah nawnto amkhueng o. Hae amkhuenghaih loe lokpui parai ah oh pongah kaminawk loe tasoeh takuenhaih hoiah kho angzo thungah anghnut o.
10 Ezra the cohen stood up, and said to them, "You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, to increase the guilt of Israel.
To naah qaima Ezra mah angdoet moe, nihcae khaeah, Nangcae loe prae kalah nongpata to na zu o haih pongah, na zae o boeh moe, Israel kaminawk zaehaih nang pung o sak aep.
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."
Vaihi nam panawk ih Angraeng Sithaw khaeah zaehaih taphong oh loe, a koehhaih to sah oh; na taeng ih kaminawk hoi angkom o hmah loe, nihcae ih canunawk to zu o haih hmah, tiah a naa.
12 Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice, "As you have said concerning us, so must we do.
To ah kaom angpop kaminawk mah, Na thuih ih lok baktih toengah, ka sak o han oh, tiah tha hoiah hang o.
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.
Toe kami paroeai pop o moe, cawh tue ah oh pongah, tasa bangah angdoe o thai ai; hae tiah zaehaih sah kami paroeai ka pop o pongah, hae hmuen loe nito maw, ni hnetto hoiah maw pacoeng thai koi hmuen ah om ai.
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."
Ukkungnawk mah rangpui kaminawk hanah sah pae nasoe; vangpui kruekah kaom prae kalah nongpata zu haih kaminawk boih hanah atue khaek pae oh loe, vangpui kruek ih kacoehtanawk hoi lok takroek kaminawk hoiah nawnto angzo o nasoe; hae hmuen kawng pongah, zitthok aicae Sithaw palungphuihaih aicae khae hoi amlaem let ai karoek to sah o nasoe, tiah a naa o.
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 hnik khue mah ni hae tok hae sak hoi, Levi acaeng Meshullam hoi Shabbethai mah nihnik to abomh hoi.
16 But the descendants of the captivity did so. And Ezra the cohen 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.
To pongah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, misong kalaem kaminawk mah sak o. Ezra mah acaeng ukkungnawk to qoih, canawk maeto thung hoiah kami maeto a qoih moe, nihcae ih ahmin to tarik boih; khrah hato haih, ni tangsuek naah, to kawng to lok takroek hanah nawnto anghnut o.
17 And they finished with all the men who had married foreign women by the first day of the first month.
Hmaloe koek ih khrah, amtong tangsuekhaih niah, prae kalah nongpata zu haih kaminawk nuiah lokcaekhaih to pacoeng o.
18 Among the sons of the cohanim 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.
Prae kalah nongpata zu haih qaimanawk loe, Jeshua ih acaeng, Jozadak ih caa hoi anih ih nawkamyanawk ah kaom, Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib hoi Gedaliah cae hae ni.
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.
Nihcae loe angmacae ih zu to pakhrak hanah lokkam o; a sak o pazae moeng pongah zae angbawn haih hanah, tuu tae maeto a paek o.
