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.
Na, I a Etera e inoi ana, e whaki hara ana, me te tangi, me te rutu i a ia ki mua i te whare o te Atua, na, nui atu te hui i rupeke ki a ia i roto i a Iharaira, nga tane, nga wahine, nga tamariki: nui atu hoki te tangi i tangi ai te iwi.
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.
Na ka oho a Hekania tama a Tehiere, ko tetahi nei ia o nga tama a Erama, ka mea ki a Etera, Kua he matou ki to tatou Atua, kua tango i nga wahine ke, i a nga iwi o te whenua. Tenei ano ia he mea e marama ai nga whakaaro o Iharaira ki tenei mea.
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.
Na kia whakaritea he kawenata ki to tatou Atua, kia whakarerea aua wahine katoa me a ratou tamariki, kia rite ai ki te whakaaro i whakatakotoria e toku ariki, e te hunga ano e wehi ana i te whakahau a to tatou Atua: kia rite ano te meatanga ki ta te ture.
4 Arise; for [this] matter [belongeth] to thee: we also [will be] with thee: be of good courage, and do [it].
Whakatika, mau hoki te mahi; a ko matou hei hoa mou: kia uaua, meatia.
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.
Katahi ka whakatika a Etera, a whakaoatitia ana e ia nga rangatira o nga tohunga, o nga Riwaiti, o Iharaira Katoa, kia meatia tenei mea e ratou. A oati ana ratou.
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.
Katahi a Etera ka whakatika i mua i te whare o te Atua, a haere ana ki te ruma o Iehohanana tama a Eriahipi. A, no tona taenga ki reira, kihai ia i kai taro, kihai i inu wai; e pouri ana hoki ki te he o te hunga i whakaraua.
7 And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should assemble at Jerusalem;
Na ka karanga nui, puta noa i Hura, i Hiruharama, ki nga tama katoa o te whakarau, kia huihui ki Hiruharama.
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.
Na, ko te tangata e kore e tae mai i nga ra e toru, i ta nga rangatira ratou ko nga kaumatua i whakaaro ai, ka murua putia ona rawa katoa, a ka motuhia ia i roto i te whakaminenga o nga whakarau.
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.
Na ko te huihuinga mai o nga tangata katoa o Hura, o Pineamine ki Hiruharama i roto i aua ra e toru; ko te iwa tenei o nga marama, i te rua tekau o te marama. Na noho ana te iwi katoa i te marae o te whare o te Atua; wiri ana ratou, he whakaaro k i tenei mea, he nui ano hoki te ua.
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.
Na ka whakatika a Etera tohunga, ka mea ki a ratou, Kua he koutou, kua marenatia ki nga wahine ke, na kua neke ake te he o Iharaira.
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.
Na whakina atu nga he ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o o koutou matua, meatia hoki tana i pai ai; motuhia mai hoki koutou i roto i nga iwi o te whenua, i nga wahine ke hoki.
12 Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do.
Na ka whakahokia e te iwi katoa, he nui o ratou reo ki te mea, Ka rite ki tau kupu ta matou e mea ai.
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.
Otiia he tokomaha te iwi, he wa ua nui hoki tenei; e kore ano matou e kaha ki te tu i waho, ehara hoki tenei i te mahi mo te ra kotahi, mo nga ra e rua ranei: he nui rawa hoki to matou he i tenei mea.
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.
Na me whakarite o tatou rangatira mo te huihui katoa, a me haere mai i nga wa e whakaritea te hunga katoa kua marena ki nga wahine ke i o tatou pa, ratou ko nga kaumatua o tenei pa, o tenei pa, me nga kaiwhakawa o reira, kia tahuri atu ra ano i a tatou te riri kaha o to tatou Atua, a kia tutuki ra ano tenei mea.
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.
Ko Honatana anake tama a Atahere raua ko Tahatia tama a Tikiwa i tu atu ki tenei mea; a ko o raua hoa ko Mehurama raua ko Hapetai Riwaiti.
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.
Na i pena hoki nga tama o te whakarau. A ka wehea a Etera tohunga me etahi upoko o nga whare o nga matua no tenei whare, no tenei whare, o o ratou matua, he mea karanga katoa o ratou ingoa; a noho ana ratou i te ra tuatahi o te tekau o nga maram a hei rapu i te tikanga o tenei mea.
17 And they made an end with all the men that had taken foreign wives by the first day of the first month.
Poto rawa ake nga tangata katoa i marena ki nga wahine ke, ko te ra tuatahi o te tuatahi o nga marama.
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.
Na kua mau etahi o nga tama a nga tohunga he mea marena ki nga wahine ke; ara no nga tama a Hehua tama a Iohereke ratou ko ona teina, ko Maaheia, ko Erietere, ko Iaripi, ko Keraria.
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.
Na ka tukua mai o ratou ringa, mo a ratou wahine kia whakarerea; a, ka he nei ratou, ka tapaea he hipi toa o te kahui mo to ratou he.
