< 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.
Alò, pandan Esdras t ap priye e t ap fè konfesyon, t ap kriye e pwostène li devan lakay Bondye a, yon trè gran asanble, gason, fanm, ni timoun, te rasanble vè li soti an Israël; paske pèp yo te kriye byen anmè.
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.
Schecania, fis a Jehiel la, youn nan fis a Élam yo, te di Esdras: “Nou pa t fidèl a Bondye nou an. Nou te marye ak fanm etranje soti nan pèp peyi yo. Malgre, koulye a toujou gen espwa pou Israël.
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.
Alò pou sa a, kite nou fè yon akò avèk Bondye nou an pou mete akote tout fanm yo avèk pitit pa yo, selon konsèy a mèt mwen an, e pou sila ki tranble sou kòmandman Bondye nou yo. Epi kite sa fèt selon lalwa a.
4 Arise; for [this] matter [belongeth] to thee: we also [will be] with thee: be of good courage, and do [it].
Leve! Paske se ou menm ki responsab afè sila a, men nou va avèk nou. Pran kouraj e aji.”
5 Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. And they swore.
Konsa, Esdras te leve, e te fè prèt prensipal yo, Levit yo ak tout Israël sèmante pou yo ta fè selon sa ki te pwopoze a. Konsa yo te sèmante.
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 thither, he ate no bread, nor drank water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away.
Epi Esdras te leve soti devan lakay Bondye a, e te antre nan chanm a Jochanan nan, fis a Éliaschib la. Malgre li te ale la, li pa t manje pen, ni bwè dlo, paske li te tèlman dezole akoz enfidelite a moun egzil yo.
7 And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should assemble at Jerusalem;
Yo te fè yon dekrè nan tout Juda avèk Jérusalem a tout moun egzil yo, ke yo ta dwe rasanble Jérusalem,
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.
epi ke nenpòt moun ki pa ta vini nan twa jou yo, selon konsèy a chèf pa yo avèk ansyen yo, tout byen li yo va konfiske e li menm ta retire nan asanble moun egzil yo.
9 Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled 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.
Pou sa, tout mesye Juda avèk Benjamin yo te rasanble Jérusalem nan twa jou yo. Se te nan nevyèm mwa a sou ventyèm jou nan mwa a, tout pèp te chita nan plas ouvri devan lakay Bondye a, e yo t ap tranble akoz afè sila a ak gwo lapli a.
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.
Alò, Esdras, prèt la, te kanpe epi te di yo: “Nou pa t fidèl e nou te marye avèk fanm etranje yo, ki ogmante koupabilite Israël la.
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.
Alò, akoz sa a konfese a SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt nou yo, e fè volonte L. Separe nou menm soti nan moun a peyi yo, e separe nou de madanm etranje yo.”
12 Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do.
Konsa, tout asanble a te reponn ak yon gwo vwa: “Se konsa, jan ou te di a, se devwa nou pou nou fè.
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.
Men gen anpil moun, se sezon lapli a, e nou p ap kab kanpe deyò a. Ni tach la pa kab fèt nan youn oswa de jou, paske nou te fè anpil transgresyon nan afè sila a.
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 its judges, until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter shall be turned from us.
Kite chèf nou yo reprezante tout asanble a, e kite tout sila nan vil nou yo ki te marye ak fanm etranje yo vini nan lè apwente yo, ansanm avèk ansyen a chak vil yo, jiskaske kòlè fewòs Bondye nou an, akoz bagay sa a, ta vin detounen kite nou.”
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.
Sèlman Jonathan, fis Asël la avèk Jachzia, fis a Thikva a, te opoze ak sa, avèk Meschullam avèk Schabthaï, Levit ki t ap bay yo soutyen an.
16 And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, [with] certain chief 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.
Men moun egzil yo te fè li konsa. Epi Esdras, prèt la, te chwazi mesye ki te chèf an tèt lakay zansèt yo pou chak kay zansèt, yo tout pa non yo. Konsa, yo te reyini nan premye jou nan dizyèm mwa a pou fè rechèch sou ka sila a.
17 And they made an end with all the men that had taken foreign wives by the first day of the first month.
Yo te fin fè rechèch la sou tout mesye ki te marye ak fanm etranje yo pou rive nan premye jou premye mwa a.
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.
Pami fis a prèt ki te marye ak fanm etranje yo, yo te twouve fis a Josué yo, fis a Jotsadak la e frè li yo: Maaséja, Éliézer, Jarib, avèk Guedalia.
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.
Yo te fè sèman pou mete akote fanm pa yo e akoz koupabilite a, yo te ofri yon belye a bann mouton an pou kouvri koupabilite yo.
