< Ezra 10 >

1 Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there assembled to him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept very bitterly.
Utuma Izraan mana Waaqaa duratti lafaan of dhaʼee booʼaa, cubbuu himachaa, kadhachaa jiruu Israaʼeloonni akka malee hedduun dhiironni, dubartoonnii fi ijoolleen naannoo isaatti walitti ni qabaman. Isaanis hiqqifatanii booʼan.
2 And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken foreign wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing.
Ergasiis sanyii Eelaam keessaa Shekaaniyaan ilmi Yehiiʼeel Izraadhaan akkana jedhe; “Nu waan saboota naannoo keenya jiraatan keessaa dubartoota ormaa fuuneef Waaqa keenyaaf hin amanamne. Wanni kun taʼu illee amma iyyuu Israaʼeliif abdiin jira.
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 that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.
Kanaafuu kottaa akkuma gorsa gooftaa koo fi kan warra ajaja Waaqa keenyaa sodaatanitti dubartoota kanneenii fi ijoollee isaanii hunda of irraa geggeessuuf fuula Waaqa keenyaa duratti kakuu ni galla. Kunis akkuma Seeraatti haa raawwatamu.
4 Arise; for this matter belongeth to thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it.
Kaʼi; wanni kun suma harka jira. Nu si deeggarra; egaa jabaadhuu hojjedhu.”
5 Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they should do according to this word. And they swore.
Kanaafuu Izraan kaʼee akka isaan waan jedhame sana raawwataniif luboota hangafoota, Lewwotaa fi Israaʼel hunda ni kakachiise; isaanis ni kakatan.
6 Then Ezra arose from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came there, he ate no bread, nor drank water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away.
Ergasii Izraan fuula mana Waaqaa duraa kaʼee kutaa manaa kan Yehohaanaan ilma Eliyaashiib seene. Inni yeroo achi turetti nyaata tokko illee hin nyaanne; bishaanis hin dhugne; sababii amanamummaa dhabiisa warra boojuudhaa deebiʼaniif gaddaa tureetii.
7 And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should gather at Jerusalem;
Ergasii akka warri boojuudhaa deebiʼan hundi Yerusaalem keessatti walitti qabamaniif Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem guutuu keessatti labsiin ni labsame.
8 And that whoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.
Namni kam iyyuu bultii sadii keessatti yoo dhiʼaachuu baate akkuma murtii qondaaltotaa fi maanguddootaatti qabeenyi isaa hundi irraa ni fudhatama; inni mataan isaas waldaa warra boojuudhaa deebiʼee keessaa ni ariʼama.
9 Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered at Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, and the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.
Bultii sadan sana keessatti namoonni Yihuudaa fi Beniyaam hundi Yerusaalem keessatti walitti qabaman. Bultii digdammaffaa jiʼa saglaffaatti namoonni hundi sababii waan kanaa fi sababii rooba guddaatiif akka malee raafamanii oobdii mana Waaqaa dura jiru irra ni tataaʼan.
10 And Ezra the priest stood up, and said to them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken foreign wives, to increase the trespass of Israel.
Izraan lubichi ol kaʼee akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Isin amanamoo hin turre; dubartoota ormaa fuudhuudhaanis Israaʼel irratti yakka dabaltaniirtu.
11 Now therefore make confession to the LORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the foreign wives.
Egaa amma cubbuu keessan Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii keessanitti himadhaatii fedhii isaa guutaa. Saboota naannoo keessan jiraatanii fi niitota warra ormaa keessaa fuutaniin gargar baʼaa.”
12 Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do.
Guutummaan waldaa sanaa akkana jedhee sagalee guddaadhaan deebise: “Ati sirrii dha! Nu akkuma ati jette gochuu qabna.
13 But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand abroad, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.
Garuu nama hedduutu as jira; yeroon kunis yeroo roobaa ti; kanaafuu nu ala dhaabachuu hin dandeenyu. Sababii nu waan kana keessatti cubbuu guddaa hojjenneef wanni kun guyyaa tokkotti yookaan guyyaa lamatti fala argachuu hin dandaʼu.
14 Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them who have taken foreign wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges, until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter shall be turned from us.
Qondaaltonni keenya iddoo waldaa guutuu haa buʼan. Ergasii namni magaalaawwan keenyaa kan dubartii ormaa fuudhe kam iyyuu hamma dheekkamsi Waaqa keenyaa sodaachisaan sababii waan kanaatiif dhufe sun nurraa deebiʼutti maanguddootaa fi abbootii murtii tokkoo tokkoo magaalaa wajjin yeroo murteeffametti haa dhufu.”
15 Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah were employed about this matter: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
Yoonaataan ilma Asaaheelii fi Yahizeyaa ilma Tiqwaa qofatu waan kana morme; Meshulaamii fi Shaabetaayi Lewwichi immoo isaan deeggaran.
16 And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain heads of the fathers, after the house of their fathers, and all of them by their names, were separated, and sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
Warri boojuudhaa deebiʼan sunis akkasuma godhan. Izraan lubichis namoota hangafoota maatii taʼan tokkoo tokkoo garee maatii keessaa nama tokko filatee hunduma isaanii maqaa maqaan ramade. Isaanis bultii tokkoffaa jiʼa kurnaffaatti dhimma sana qorachuudhaaf tataaʼanii
17 And they finished with all the men that had taken foreign wives by the first day of the first month.
guyyaa tokkoffaa jiʼa jalqabaatti waaʼee namoota dubartoota ormaa fuudhan hundaa qoratanii fixan.
18 And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken foreign wives: namely, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren; Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.

19 And they gave their hands that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their trespass.
Isaan hundinuu niitota isaanii hiikuudhaaf waadaa ni galan; tokkoon tokkoon isaanii balleessaa ofii isaaniitiif bushaayee keessaa korbeessa hoolaa tokko aarsaa yakkaatiif ni dhiʼeessan.
