< Ezra 10 >

1 And just as was praying Ezra and just as was confessing he weeping and prostrating himself before [the] house of God they gathered to him from Israel a company great very men and women and children for they wept the people great weeping.
Rĩrĩa Ezara aahooyaga akiumbũraga mehia na akĩrĩraga, o na akĩĩgũithagia thĩ hau nyũmba-inĩ ya Ngai-rĩ, gĩkundi kĩnene kĩa andũ a Isiraeli, kĩa arũme, na andũ-a-nja, na ciana, gĩkĩũngana gĩkĩmũthiũrũrũkĩria. O nao makĩrĩra marĩ na ruo mũno.
2 And he answered Shecaniah [the] son of Jehiel one of [the] descendants of (Elam *Q(K)*) and he said to Ezra we we have acted unfaithfully against God our and we have married women foreign from [the] peoples of the land and now there [is] hope for Israel on this.
Nake Shekania mũrũ wa Jehieli, ũmwe wa rũciaro rwa Elamu, akĩĩra Ezara atĩrĩ, “Tũkoretwo tũtarĩ ehokeku harĩ Ngai witũ nĩ ũndũ nĩtũhikĩtie andũ-a-nja kuuma ndũrĩrĩ iria itũthiũrũrũkĩirie. No o na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, Isiraeli no marĩ na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro.
3 And therefore let us make a covenant to God our to send out all wives and those born from them by [the] counsel of [the] Lord and the [people] trembling at [the] commandment of God our and according to the law let it be done.
Na rĩrĩ, nĩtũthondeke kĩrĩkanĩro tũrĩ mbere ya Ngai witũ atĩ nĩtũkũingata andũ-a-nja aya othe na ciana ciao, kũringana na mataaro ma mwathi wakwa, o na mataaro ma arĩa metigĩrĩte maathani ma Ngai witũ. Ũndũ ũyũ nĩwĩkwo kũringana na Watho.
4 Arise for [is] on you the matter and we [will be] with you be strong and act.
Arahũka; ũhoro ũyũ ũrĩ moko-inĩ maku. Ithuĩ tũrĩ hamwe nawe; nĩ ũndũ ũcio, wĩyũmĩrĩrie ũwĩke.”
5 And he arose Ezra and he made to swear an oath [the] leaders of the priests the Levites and all Israel to do according to the manner this and they swore [the] oath.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ezara akĩarahũka, agĩtũma atongoria a athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii, o na andũ othe a Isiraeli mehĩte atĩ nĩmegwĩka ũrĩa kwerĩtwo. Nao makĩĩhĩta.
6 And he arose Ezra from to before [the] house of God and he went into [the] room of Jehohanan [the] son of Eliashib and he went there food not he ate and water not he drank for [he was] mourning on [the] unfaithfulness of the exile[s].
Ningĩ Ezara akiuma hau mbere ya nyũmba ya Ngai, agĩthiĩ kanyũmba ka Jehohanani mũrũ wa Eliashibu. Arĩ kũu ndaigana kũrĩa irio kana kũnyua maaĩ tondũ aathiire o na mbere gũcakaya nĩ ũndũ andũ arĩa maatahĩtwo nĩmagĩte kwĩhokeka.
7 And they caused to pass a proclamation in Judah and Jerusalem to all [the] children of the exile to assemble Jerusalem.
Gũgĩcooka gũkĩanĩrĩrwo Juda na Jerusalemu guothe atĩ andũ othe arĩa maatahĩtwo mongane Jerusalemu.
8 And every [one] who not he will come to [the] three the days according to [the] counsel of the leaders and the elders it will be forfeited all property his and he he will be separated from [the] assembly of the exile[s].
Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩagire gũkinya Jerusalemu mĩthenya ĩtatũ ĩtanathira kũringana na itua rĩa anene na athuuri, atunywo indo ciake ciothe, nake we mwene aingatwo, ehere kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa andũ arĩa maatahĩtwo.
9 And they assembled all [the] people of Judah and Benjamin - Jerusalem to [the] three the days it [was the] month ninth on [day] twenty in the month and they sat all the people in [the] open place of [the] house of God trembling on the matter and from the rains.
Mĩthenya ĩyo ĩtatũ ĩtanathira, arũme othe a Juda na Benjamini makĩũngana Jerusalemu. Naguo mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ wa mweri wa kenda, andũ othe nĩmaikarĩte thĩ kĩhaaro-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩarĩ mbere ya nyũmba ya Ngai, mathĩnĩkĩte mũno tondũ wa ũndũ ũcio na nĩ ũndũ wa mbura.
10 And he arose Ezra the priest and he said to them you you have acted unfaithfully and you have married women foreign to add to [the] guilt of Israel.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ezara ũcio mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai akĩrũgama na igũrũ, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũkoretwo mũtarĩ ehokeku; nĩmũhikĩtie andũ-a-nja a kũngĩ, mũgakĩongerera mahĩtia ma Isiraeli.
11 And therefore give praise to Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your and do will his and separate yourselves from [the] peoples of the land and from the women foreign.
Rĩu-rĩ, umbũrai mehia manyu kũrĩ Jehova Ngai wa maithe manyu, na mwĩke ũrĩa endaga. Mwĩyamũraniei na andũ arĩa mamũthiũrũrũkĩirie, o na atumia anyu a kũngĩ.”
12 And they answered all the assembly and they said a voice great so (according to word your *Q(K)*) on us to do.
Kĩũngano gĩothe gĩgĩcookia na mũgambo mũnene atĩrĩ, “Nĩwoiga ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire! No nginya twĩke o ta ũguo woiga.
13 But the people [is] numerous and the time [is] rains and there not [is] ability to stand on the outside and the business not [belongs] to a day one and not to two for we have increased to transgress in the matter this.
No rĩrĩ, andũ aya marĩ haha nĩ aingĩ, na nĩ hĩndĩ ya mbura; nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũtingĩikara nja. Ningĩ ũhoro ũyũ ndũngĩthondekeka na mũthenya ũmwe kana ĩĩrĩ, tondũ nĩtwĩhĩtie mũno ũndũ-inĩ ũyũ.
14 Let them stand please leaders our for all the assembly and every [one] - who [is] in cities our who he has married women foreign let him come to times appointed and with them [the] elders of a city and a city and judges its until turn back [the] burning of [the] anger of God our from us until to the matter this.
Reke anene aitũ marũgamĩrĩre kĩũngano gĩkĩ gĩothe. Ningĩ o mũndũ wothe ũrĩ matũũra-inĩ maitũ ũhikĩtie mũndũ-wa-nja wa kũngĩ nĩetĩkĩrio oke mahinda marĩa matuĩtwo, hamwe na athuuri na atuanĩri ciira a o itũũra, nginya twehererio marakara marĩa mahiũ ma Ngai witũ ũhoro-inĩ ũyũ.”
15 Only Jonathan [the] son of Asahel and Jahzeiah [the] son of Tikvah they stood on this and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite[s] they supported them.
Andũ arĩa maareganire na ũhoro ũcio no Jonathani mũrũ wa Asaheli, na Jahazeia mũrũ wa Tikiva, hamwe na Meshulamu, na Shabethai ũrĩa Mũlawii.
16 And they did thus [the] children of the exile and they separated themselves Ezra the priest men [the] leaders of the fathers for [the] house of ancestors their and all of them by names and they sat down on day one of the month tenth to investigate the matter.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ arĩa maatahĩtwo magĩĩka o ta ũrĩa kwerĩtwo. Nake Ezara ũcio mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai agĩthuura arũme arĩa maarĩ atongoria a nyũmba ciao, o mũndũ ũmwe kuuma o nyũmba, o ũrĩa ciagayanĩtio, nao othe makĩandĩkwo marĩĩtwa mao. Mũthenya wa mbere wa mweri wa ikũmi magĩikara thĩ nĩguo matuĩrie maciira macio,
17 And they finished with everything [the] men who they had married women foreign until day one of the month first.
na gũgĩkinya mũthenya wa mbere wa mweri wa mbere, makĩrĩkia maciira ma arũme othe arĩa maahikĩtie andũ-a-nja a kũngĩ.
