Ezra 10
1 Now, when Ezra had prayed and when he had made confession, weeping and casting himself down, before the house of God, there gathered unto him out of Israel, an exceeding large convocation—men and women and children, for the people wept with a very bitter weeping.
Wana Esidrasi azalaki kobondela mpe kotubela masumu, azalaki ya kofukama mpe azalaki kolela liboso ya Ndako ya Nzambe. Ebele ya bana ya Isalaele: mibali, basi mpe bana, basanganaki pene na ye mpe, bango nyonso, bazalaki kolela makasi.
2 Then responded Shecaniah son of Jehiel of the sons of Elam, and said unto Ezra, We, have been faithful with our God, and have married foreign women from among the peoples of the land, —yet, now, there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.
Bongo Shekania, mwana mobali ya Yeyeli, moko kati na bakitani ya Elami, alobaki na Esidrasi: « Solo, tosalaki makambo ya mbindo na miso ya Nzambe na biso, pamba te tobali basi ya bapaya kati na bikolo oyo ezali elongo na biso kati na mboka oyo; kasi atako bongo, elikya ezali nanu mpo na Isalaele!
3 Now, therefore, let us solemnize a covenant unto our God—to put away all the women and such as have been born of them, in the counsel of my lord, and them who tremble at the commandment of our God, —and, according to the law, let it be done.
Sik’oyo, tika ete tosala boyokani elongo na Nzambe na biso mpo na kobengana basi wana nyonso elongo na bana na bango, kolanda toli na yo Esidrasi, nkolo na ngai, mpe kolanda toli ya bato nyonso oyo balengaka liboso ya mibeko ya Nzambe na biso! Tika ete esalema kolanda Mobeko!
4 Arise, for, upon thee, resteth the thing, but, we, are with thee, —be strong, and act.
Telema, pamba te yo nde osengeli kotala likambo oyo! Tozali elongo na yo mpo na kosunga yo. Yika mpiko mpe sala! »
5 Then arose Ezra and made the rulers of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, swear to do according to this word—and they sware.
Esidrasi atelemaki mpe asengaki na bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, Balevi mpe bana nyonso ya Isalaele kolapa ndayi ete bakosalela makambo oyo ndenge elobami. Mpe balapaki ndayi.
6 Then arose Ezra from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan son of Eliashib, —and, when he came thither, bread, did he not eat, and, water, did he not drink, for he was mourning over the unfaithfulness of them of the Exile.
Bongo Esidrasi alongwaki liboso ya Ndako ya Nzambe mpe akendeki na shambre ya Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Eliashibi. Wana azalaki kuna, atikalaki kolia eloko moko te mpe komela mayi te; pamba te azalaki kokoba kosala matanga likolo ya makambo ya mbindo ya bato oyo bawutaki na bowumbu.
7 Then made they a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem, unto all the Sons of the Exile, to gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;
Bapanzaki sango kati na Yuda mpe na Yelusalemi ete bato nyonso oyo bawutaki na bowumbu basangana na Yelusalemi.
8 and, whosoever should not come within three days, according to the counsel of the rulers and the elders, all his goods should be devoted, —and, himself, be separated from the convocation of them of the Exile.
Kolanda mokano ya bakalaka mpe bakambi ya bato, moto nyonso oyo akomonana te sima na mikolo misato, bakobotola biloko na ye nyonso mpe bakolongola ye na lisanga ya bato oyo bawutaki na bowumbu.
9 Then were gathered together all the men of Judah and Benjamin unto Jerusalem, within three days, the same, was the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month, —and all the people remained in the broadway of the house of God, trembling concerning the thing, and because of the heavy rains.
Sima na mikolo yango misato, bato nyonso ya Yuda mpe ya Benjame basanganaki na Yelusalemi. Na mokolo ya tuku mibale ya sanza ya libwa, bato nyonso bavandaki kati na lopango, liboso ya Ndako ya Nzambe, mpe bazalaki kolenga makasi likolo ya makambo oyo mpe mpo ete mvula ezalaki kobeta makasi.
10 Then arose Ezra the priest, and said unto them, Ye, have acted unfaithfully, and have married foreign women, —to add unto the guilt of Israel.
Nganga-Nzambe Esidrasi atelemaki mpe alobaki na bango: — Bosalaki makambo ya mbindo awa bobalaki basi ya bapaya; mpe, na nzela na yango, bobakiselaki Isalaele ngambo.
11 Now, therefore, make confession unto Yahweh God of your fathers, and do his pleasure, —and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women.
Sik’oyo, boyambola masumu na bino epai na Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bino, mpe bokokisa mokano na Ye! Bokabwana na bato ya bikolo ya bapaya oyo bazali kati na bino mpe bokabwana na basi na bino ya bapaya.
12 Then responded all the convocation and said, with a loud voice, —Thus, according to thy word concerning us, must it be done.
Lisanga mobimba ezongisaki na mongongo makasi: — Ezali se bongo, tokosala ndenge olobi!
13 Nevertheless, the people, are many, and, the season, is that of the heavy rains, and we are not able to stand outside, —and, the business, is not one for a single day, nor yet for two, for we have abundantly transgressed, in this thing.
Nzokande tozali bato ebele awa, mpe ezali eleko ya mvula; tokoki kowumela na libanda te. Kutu, ezali te likambo ya mokolo moko to ya mikolo mibale, pamba te ebele kati na biso basali masumu kati na likambo oyo.
14 Let, we beseech thee, our rulers take up their station for all the convocation, and, all who, throughout our cities, have married foreign women, let them come in at times appointed, and, with them, the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the glow of the anger of our God be turned from us, concerning this matter.
Tika ete bakambi na biso batikala awa na esika ya lisanga mobimba! Mpe tika ete bato nyonso oyo, kati na bingumba na biso, babalaki basi ya bapaya bakende liboso ya bakambi mpe basambisi ya engumba moko na moko, na mikolo oyo bakokatela bango, kino kanda makasi ya Nzambe na biso ekolongwa kati na biso na tina na likambo yango.
15 Only Jonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah, made a stand against this, —and, Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite, helped them.
Kaka Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Azaeli, mpe Yakizia, mwana mobali ya Tikiva, elongo na Meshulami mpe Shabetayi, moto ya libota ya Levi, nde batelemelaki mokano oyo.
16 But the Sons of the Exile, did thus, and Ezra the priest separated to himself certain men—ancestral heads by their ancestral houses, and all of them by name, —and they took their seats on the first day of the tenth month to search into the matter;
Kasi bato oyo bawutaki na bowumbu basalaki ndenge elobamaki. Nganga-Nzambe Esidrasi aponaki bakambi ya mabota, moko mpo na libota moko na moko, mpe abengaki bango nyonso na bakombo na bango. Babandaki kovanda mpo na koyekola makambo yango na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya zomi.
17 and they made an end with all the men who had married foreign women, —by the first day of the first month.
Mpe, na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya liboso, basilisaki koyekola makambo ya mibali nyonso oyo babalaki basi ya bapaya.
18 Now there were found, of the sons of the priests, who had married foreign women, —of the sons of Jeshua son of Jozadak, and his brethren, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah;
Tala kati na bakitani ya Banganga-Nzambe, mibali oyo babalaki basi ya bapaya: Kati na bakitani ya Jozue, mwana mobali ya Yotsadaki elongo na bandeko na ye ya mibali: Maaseya, Eliezeri, Yaribi mpe Gedalia.
19 and they gave their hand, that they would put away their wives, —and, being guilty, [they offered] a ram of the flock for their guilt.
Bango nyonso batombolaki maboko mpo na kozwa mokano ya kobengana basi na bango mpe ya kobonza meme ya mobali lokola mbeka mpo na masumu na bango.
