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.
Ɛberɛ a Ɛsra bɔɔ mpaeɛ, kaa saa bɔne yi no, na ɔresu de ne ho toto fam wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no anim. Na nnipadɔm a wɔyɛ Israelfoɔ, mmarima, mmaa ne mmɔfra bɛkaa ne ho ne no twaa adwo.
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.
Na Yehiel babarima Sekania a ɔyɛ Elam aseni no ka kyerɛɛ Ɛsra sɛ, “Yɛpae mu ka sɛ yɛanni yɛn Onyankopɔn nokorɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛawareware abosonsomfoɔ mmaa a wɔwɔ asase no so. Nanso, yei akyi no, anidasoɔ wɔ hɔ ma Israel.
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.
Afei, momma yɛne yɛn Onyankopɔn nyɛ apam, na yɛnnyaa yɛn yerenom abosonsomfoɔ no awadeɛ, na yɛmpam wɔne wɔn mma. Yɛbɛtie afotuo a wo ne afoforɔ a wɔdi yɛn Onyankopɔn mmara no so de ama yɛn. Yɛbɛdi Onyankopɔn mmara no so.
4 Arise for [is] on you the matter and we [will be] with you be strong and act.
Ma wo bo nyɛ duru, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ wʼasɛdeɛ sɛ wokyerɛ yɛn ɛkwan a yɛbɛfa so ama biribiara akɔ so tee, na yɛde yɛn ahoɔden nyinaa bɛboa.”
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.
Na Ɛsra sɔre gyinaeɛ, na ɔhyɛɛ sɛ asɔfoɔ no ntuanofoɔ, Lewifoɔ ne Israelfoɔ nyinaa nka ntam sɛ, wɔbɛyɛ deɛ Sekania aka no. Na wɔn nyinaa kaa ntam a ano yɛ den.
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].
Na Ɛsra sɔre firii Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no anim kɔɔ Eliasib babarima Yehohanan dan mu. Ɔdaa hɔ, nanso wannidi annom. Na ɔda so di awerɛhoɔ ɛsiane asutwafoɔ a wɔasane aba no nokorɛ a wɔannie no enti.
7 And they caused to pass a proclamation in Judah and Jerusalem to all [the] children of the exile to assemble Jerusalem.
Afei, wɔbɔɔ dawuro Yuda ne Yerusalem nyinaa sɛ, asutwafoɔ a wɔasane aba no nyinaa mmra Yerusalem.
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].
Na wɔn a wɔamma nnansa ntam no, sɛ ntuanofoɔ ne mpanimfoɔ pɛ a, wɔde wɔn nsa bɛto wɔn agyapadeɛ so, na wɔapam wɔn afiri asutwafoɔ no mu.
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.
Nnansa ntam no, na Yudafoɔ ne Benyaminfoɔ aboa wɔn ho ano wɔ Yerusalem. Asɛm yi sii wɔ Kislew bosome (bɛyɛ Ɔpɛnima) da a ɛtɔ so dunkron, na wɔn nyinaa tenatenaa adwaberem hɔ wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no anim. Na wɔn ho repopo, ɛfiri sɛ, deɛ ɛdi ɛkan no, na asɛm no mu yɛ duru, na deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu no, na osuo nso retɔ.
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.
Na ɔsɔfoɔ Ɛsra sɔre gyina kaa sɛ, “Moayɛ bɔne, ɛfiri sɛ, moawareware abosonsomfoɔ mmaa. Enti seesei, yɛwɔ afɔbuo a ano yɛ den mu sene kane deɛ no.
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.
Mompae mu nka mo bɔne nkyerɛ Awurade, mo agyanom Onyankopɔn, na monyɛ nʼapɛdeɛ. Monte mo ho mfiri nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so ne abosonsomfoɔ mmaa no ho.”
12 And they answered all the assembly and they said a voice great so (according to word your *Q(K)*) on us to do.
Afei badwa no nyinaa maa wɔn nne so kaa sɛ, “Ampa, wʼasɛm no yɛ nokorɛ. Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ deɛ woaka no.
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.
Wɔtoaa so sɛ: Yei nyɛ da koro anaa nnanu adwuma, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛn mu bebree na saa bɔne kɛseɛ yi ka yɛn. Saa ɛberɛ yi yɛ osutɔberɛ, enti yɛrentumi ntena ha nkyɛre.
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.
Momma yɛn mpanimfoɔ nsi yɛn anan nyɛ biribiara. Obiara a ɔware ɔbosonsomni baa no ne ntuanofoɔ ne atemmufoɔ a wɔwɔ kuro yi mu bɛhyia ɛberɛ a yɛahyɛ no sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Onyankopɔn abufuhyeɛ a ɛfa saa asɛm yi ho no bɛfiri yɛn so.”
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.
Asahel babarima Yonatan ne Tikwa babarima Yahasia na wɔtiaa saa asɛm yi mu, na Mesulam ne Sabetai a ɔyɛ Lewini no foaa wɔn so.
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.
Enti, yei ne nhyehyɛeɛ a wɔfaa so. Ɛsra yii ntuanofoɔ maa wɔsii wɔn mmusua anan, na ɔde edin bi too ntuanoni biara so. Bosome Kislew (bɛyɛ Ɔpɛnimaa) da a ɛtɔ so aduonu nkron no, ntuanofoɔ no tenaa ase hwehwɛɛ asɛm no mu.
17 And they finished with everything [the] men who they had married women foreign until day one of the month first.
Afe a ɛdi so no mu, Abib bosome (bɛyɛ Ɔbɛnem) da a ɛtɔ so aduonu nson no na wɔawie mmarima a wɔawareware abosonsomfoɔ mmaa no nyinaa ho asɛnka.
