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.

Ke pacl se Ezra el suwoli ac pre ye mutun Tempul, ac tung ac fahkak ma koluk inge nukewa, sie u lulap lun mwet Israel, (mukul, mutan, ac tulik) elos fahsreni raunella ke tung mwemelil.

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.

Na Shecaniah wen natul Jehiel, sin fwil natul Elam, el fahk nu sel Ezra, “Kut sifacna kunausla inmasrlosr ac God ke kut payuk nu sin mutan sac. Tusruktu finne ouinge, srakna oasr finsrak lun Israel.

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.

Inge kut enenu in orala sie wulela ku nu sin God lasr lah kut ac supwalik mutan inge ac tulik natulos in som liki kut. Kut fah oru ma kom, ac elos ngia su sunakin ma sap lun God, fahk nu sesr in oru. Kut ac oru oana ma sapkinyuk nu sesr in Ma Sap lun God.

4 Arise; for the matter belongs to you, and we are with you. Be courageous, and do it."

Ma kunom in oru ouinge. Kut ac wi kom na, ke ma inge tuyak ac oru ma kom ac oru an.”

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.

Ouinge Ezra el tuyak ac sapkin tuh mwet kol inmasrlon mwet tol ac mwet Levi, ac mwet Israel nukewa saya, in fulahk tuh elos fah oru oana kas lal Shecaniah.

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.

Na el som liki mutun Tempul ac utyak nu ke infukil lal Jehohanan wen natul Eliashib, ac muta we fong fon se, ac tungi orekma koluk lun mwet sruoh. El tia mongo ku nim kutena ma.

7 They made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the descendants of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together to Jerusalem;

Sie kas supweyukelik nu yen nukewa in acn Jerusalem ac Judah, tuh elos nukewa su foloko liki sruoh fah osun in Jerusalem,

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.

fal nu ke sap ku lun mwet kol lun mwet uh. Fin oasr kutena su tia tuku ke lusen len tolu, ma lalos nukewa fah itukla lukelos, ac elos fah tia sifil sie sin mwet in u se inge.

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.

Inmasrlon len tolu ah, ke len aklongoul in malem akeu, mukul nukewa su muta in acn lun Judah ac Benjamin elos tuku nu Jerusalem ac toeni in acn mwesas lun Tempul. Len sac af na upa, ac mwet nukewa rarrar ke sripen oyohu len an, oayapa ke sripa na yohk se lun tukeni sac.

10 Ezra the priest stood up, and said to them, "You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, to increase the guilt of Israel.

Ezra mwet tol el tuyak ac kaskas nu selos. El fahk, “Kowos mwet tia pwaye in lulalfongi la, ac ke kowos payuk nu sin mutan sac kowos sang mwata nu sin Israel.

11 Now therefore make confession to YHWH, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women."

Inge, fahkak ma koluk lowos nu sin LEUM GOD lun mwet matu lowos, ac oru ma El insewowo kac. Srikowosla liki mwetsac su muta in acn sesr, ac sisla mutan sac kiowos.”

12 Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice, "As you have said concerning us, so must we do.

Mwet uh wowoyak ac topuk, “Kut ac oru ma nukewa ma kom fahk an.”

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.

Tusruktu elos tafwela ke kas inge, “Pusla mwet ke u se inge, ac af uh upa. Kut tia ku in tu ouinge likinum uh. Ma se inge tia ma ac ku in orekla ke len se ku luo, mweyen puslana sesr oasr ke ma koluk se inge.

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."

Lela mwet kol lasr inge in muta Jerusalem ac orekma ke elya se inge. Na lela kutena mwet su oasr mutan sac se kia in tuku ke pacl se oakwuk nu sel, wi mwet kol ac mwet nununku lun siti sel. Fin ouinge, na mulat lun God ke ouiya se inge ac fah forla liki kut.”

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.

Wangin sie lain lemlem sac, sayal Jonathan wen natul Asahel, ac Jahzeiah wen natul Tikvah, su eis kasreyuk sel Meshullam ac Shabbethai, sie mwet Levi.

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.

Mwet nukewa su foloko liki sruoh elos insese nu ke lemlem sac. Ouinge Ezra mwet tol el srisrngiya mwet inmasrlon sifen sou uh, ac simusla inelos kais sie. Ke len se meet in malem se aksingoul, elos mutawauk in mukuikui ke sukok lalos,

17 And they finished with all the men who had married foreign women by the first day of the first month.

na inmasrlon malem tolu, elos konauk mukul nukewa su oasr mutan sac kia.

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.

Pa inge inen mukul su oasr mutan sac kia: [Mwet tol], simla ke sou: Ke sou lulap lal Joshua ac tamulel wial, wen natul Jehozadak: Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, ac Gedaliah.

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.

Elos wulela in sisla mutan kialos, ac elos sang sheep mukul soko in mwe kisa ke ma koluk lalos.
