< Ezra 10 >

1 While I was kneeling down in front of the temple and praying and crying, I was confessing [the sins that the Israeli people had committed]. Many people, men and women and children, gathered around me and also cried very much.
Yayinda Ezra yake addu’a, yake kuma furta laifi, yana kuka, yana a durƙushe da kansa ƙasa a gaban gidan Allah, sai babban taron jama’ar Isra’ilawa, maza, mata da yara, suka taru a wurinsa. Su ma suka yi kuka mai zafi.
2 Then Shecaniah, the son of Jehiel from the clan of Elam, said this to me: “We have disobeyed God. [Some of] us have married women who are not Israelis. But we can still confidently expect [Yahweh to be merciful to] us Israeli people.
Sai Shekaniya ɗan Yehiyel, daga zuriyar Elam ya ce wa Ezra, “Mun yi wa Allah rashin aminci ta wurin yin auratayya da maƙwabtanmu, amma duk da haka bai yashe mutanen Isra’ila ba.
3 We will do what you, and the others who have an awesome respect for what our God has commanded, tell us to do. We will do what God told us in his laws. We will make an agreement with our God, saying that we will divorce our wives who are not Israelis, and we will send them away with their children.
Yanzu bari mu yi alkawari da Allahnmu, mu kori matan da yaransu bisa ga abin da ranka yă daɗe da sauran shugabannin da kuke girmama umarnin Allah kuka shawarce mu, bari mu yi haka bisa ga doka.
4 (It is your responsibility to/Because you are our leader, you must) [tell us what to do]. So get up, and be courageous, and do [what is necessary]. We will (support you/tell people to do what you say).”
Sai ka tashi, gama wannan hakkinka ne, za mu ba ka goyon baya. Saboda haka ka yi ƙarfin hali ka aikata shi.”
5 So I stood up and demanded that the leaders of the priests, the [other] descendants of Levi, and all [the other] Israeli people solemnly declare that they would do what Shecaniah said that they should do. So they all solemnly promised to do that.
Sai Ezra ya tashi ya sa firistoci da suke shugabanni, da Lawiyawa, da dukan mutanen Isra’ila su rantse, cewa za su yi abin da aka ce. Sai suka yi rantsuwar.
6 Then I went away from the front of the temple and went to the room where Jehohanan lived. I stayed there that night, but I did not eat or drink anything. I was still sad because some of the Israelis who had returned [from Babylonia] had not faithfully obeyed [God’s laws].
Sa’an nan Ezra ya tashi daga gidan Allah ya tafi gidan Yehohanan ɗan Eliyashib, a can ma bai ci wani abu ba, bai sha ruwa ba domin ya ci gaba da yin baƙin cikin rashin aminci na waɗanda suka dawo daga bauta.
7 Then we sent a message to all [the people in] Jerusalem and [in other towns in] Judah, saying that all those who had returned [from Babylonia] should come to Jerusalem immediately.
Aka yi shela a duk fāɗin Yahuda da Urushalima cewa dukan waɗanda suka dawo daga bauta su tattaru a Urushalima.
8 We said that if any of them did not arrive within three days, the leaders of the people would order that all the property of those people would be taken from them, and that they would no longer be considered to belong to the Israeli people; [they would be considered to be foreigners].
Duk wanda bai zo a cikin kwana uku ba, za a washe shi, a kuma ware shi daga jama’ar da suka dawo daga bauta. Haka shugabanni da dattawa suka zartar.
9 So within three days, on December 19, all the people of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin gathered in Jerusalem. They were there, sitting in the courtyard in front of the temple. They were trembling because it was raining hard and because they were worried [that they would be punished for what they had done].
A cikin kwana uku duk mutanen Yahuda da na Benyamin suka taru a Urushalima. A ranar ashirin ga watan tara, dukan mutanen suka zauna a dandali a gaban gidan Allah cike da ɓacin rai saboda abin da ya faru da kuma ruwan da aka yi.
10 Then I stood up and said to them, “[Some of] you men have committed a very bad sin. You have married women who are not Israelis. By doing that, you have made us Israeli people more guilty [than we were before].
Sai Ezra firist ya miƙe tsaye ya yi musu magana ya ce, “Kun yi rashin aminci; kun aure mata baƙi, ta haka kuka ƙara kan zunubin Isra’ila.
11 So now you must confess to Yahweh, the God whom your ancestors [worshiped/belonged to], the sin which you have committed, and you must do what he wants. Separate yourselves from the people of other nations and from the women from those nations whom you have married.”
Yanzu sai ku furta zunubanku ga Ubangiji, Allahn kakanninku, ku kuma yi nufinsa. Ku raba kanku da mutanen da suke kewaye da ku, ku kuma rabu da baƙin mata.”
12 The whole group answered, shouting loudly, “Yes, what you have said is right! We will do what you have said.”
Mutanen kuwa suka tā da murya da ƙarfi suka ce, “Gaskiya ka faɗa, dole mu yi yadda ka ce,
13 But then [one of] them said, “But we are a very large group, and it is raining hard. Also, there are many of us who have committed this bad sin. This is something that we cannot (take care of/handle) in one or two days, and we cannot stand here in this rain.
Amma akwai mutane da yawa, kuma lokacin damina ne; saboda haka ba za mu iya tsayawa a waje ba. Ban da haka ma, aikin nan ba na kwana ɗaya ko biyu ba ne, domin ba ƙaramin laifi muka yi ba.
14 So allow our leaders to decide for all of us what we should do. Tell everyone who has married a woman who is not Israeli to come at a time that you decide. They should come with the elders and judges from each city. If we do that, our God will stop being angry with us [because of what we have done].”
Bari shugabanninmu su yi wani abu a madadin mutane duka, sa’an nan sai duk wanda ya san ya auri baƙuwar mace a garuruwanmu, sai yă zo nan a lokacin da aka shirya tare da dattawa da alƙalan kowane gari, har sai Allah ya huce fushinsa mai zafi da yake kanmu.”
15 Jonathan the son of Asahel, Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah, Meshullam, and Shabbethai, a descendant of Levi, were the only ones who objected to this.
Yonatan ɗan Asahel, da Yazehiya ɗan Tikba su ne kaɗai ba su yarda da wannan shirin ba, sai Meshullam da Shabbetai Balawe kuma suka goyi bayansu.
16 All the others who had returned from Babylonia said that they would do it. So I chose leaders of each of the clans, and I wrote down their names. On December 29, these men came and sat down to investigate the matter.
Sai waɗanda suka dawo daga bauta suka yi yadda aka zartar. Ezra firist ya zaɓi mutane waɗanda su ne shugabannin iyalai, ɗaya daga kowane sashe, aka rubuta sunan kowannensu. A ranar ɗaya ga watan goma kuwa suka zauna don su yi binciken waɗannan abubuwa.
17 By March 27 of the next year they finished determining which men had married women who were not Israelis.

19 They solemnly promised to divorce their wives, and they each sacrificed a ram to be an offering [to atone] for their sins.
