1 Esi Ezra nɔ gbe dom ɖa, nɔ nu vɔ̃ me ʋum, nɔ avi fam, eye wòtsɔ eɖokui nɔ xaxlãm ɖe anyi le Mawu ƒe aƒe la ŋkume la, Israelviwo ƒe ameha gã aɖe, ŋutsuwo, nyɔnuwo kple ɖeviwo va ƒo ƒu ɖe eŋu. Woawo hã wofa avi vevie.
Lapho u-Ezra wayekhuleka njalo evuma izono, ekhala eziwisela phansi phambi kwendlu kaNkulunkulu, ixuku elikhulu labako-Israyeli kubalisa amadoda labafazi labantwana, babuthana kuye. Labo bakhala kabuhlungu.
2 Tete Yehiel ƒe vi, Sekania, Elam ƒe dzidzimeviwo dometɔ ɖeka, gblɔ na Ezra be, “Míeto nyateƒe na míaƒe Mawu la o, to dutanyɔnuwo ɖeɖe me tso dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã mí la me. Togbɔ be ele alea hã la, mɔkpɔkpɔ gali na Israel ko.
Yikho uShekhaniya indodana kaJehiyeli, omunye wesizukulwane sika-Elamu, wathi ku-Ezra, “Kasizange sithembeke kuNkulunkulu wethu ngoba sathatha abafazi bezizweni ebantwini esakhelene labo. Kodwa loba kunjalo ithemba lisekhona ngo-Israyeli.
3 Azɔ la, mina míabla nu le míaƒe Mawu la ŋkume be míatrɔ nyɔnu siawo katã kple woƒe viwo aɖo ɖa, le nye aƒetɔ ƒe aɖaŋuɖoɖo kple ame siwo vɔ̃a míaƒe Mawu la ƒe sededewo ƒe nya nu. Mina míawɔe ɖe sea nu.
Manje kasenzeni isivumelwano phambi kukaNkulunkulu wethu ukubalahla bonke labobafazi labantwababo njengeseluleko senkosi yami lalabo abayesabayo imilayo kaNkulunkulu wethu. Kakwenziwe ngendlela yoMthetho.
4 Tsi tsitre, nya sia le asiwò me. Míade megbe na wò, eya ta tso nàlé dzi ɖe ƒo eye nàwɔe.”
Sukuma; indaba le isezandleni zakho. Thina sizakusekela, yikho yiba lesibindi ukwenze.”
5 Ale Ezra tsitre eye wòna nunɔla tsitsiawo, Levitɔwo kple Israel blibo la ka atam be woawɔ ɖe susu si wodo ɖa la dzi. Tete woka atam la.
Ngakho u-Ezra waphakama wafungisa bonke abakhokheli babaphristi labaLevi lo-Israyeli wonke ukwenza lokho okwakumisiwe. Basenza lesosifungo.
6 Ale Ezra dzo le Mawu ƒe aƒe la ŋkume heyi ɖe Yehohanan, Eliasib ƒe vi ƒe xɔ me. Esi wònɔ afi ma la, meɖu nu alo no tsi o, elabena eganɔ konyi fam ko tso aboyometsolawo ƒe nuteƒemawɔmawɔ ŋu.
U-Ezra wasesuka endlini kaNkulunkulu waya endlini kaJehohanani indodana ka-Eliyashibi. Elapho kadlanga lutho njalo kazange anathe manzi, ngoba waqhubeka elilela ukungathembeki kwezithunjwa.
7 Le esia megbe la, woɖe gbeƒã le Yuda kple Yerusalem katã be ame siwo katã gbɔ tso aboyome la naƒo ƒu ɖe Yerusalem.
Kwasekukhutshwa isimemezelo kulolonke elakoJuda kanye leJerusalema ukuthi zonke izithunjwa kaziqoqane eJerusalema.
8 Ame si meva le ŋkeke etɔ̃ me o la, abu eƒe nunɔamesiwo katã le ametsitsiawo kple dɔnunɔlawo ƒe nyametsotso nu, eye woaɖe amea ɖa le aboyometsolawo ƒe hame.
Ingqe ngubani ongafikanga phakathi kwensuku ezintathu wayezathathelwa yonke impahla alayo, kulandelwa isinqumo sezinduna labadala, kuthi yena ngokwakhe axotshwe emphakathini walabo ababethunjiwe.
9 Le ŋkeke etɔ̃ me la, Yuda kple Benyamin ŋutsuwo katã va ƒo ƒu ɖe Yerusalem. Ale le dzinu asiekelia ƒe ŋkeke blaevea gbe la, ameawo katã va nɔ anyi ɖe xɔxɔnu si dze ŋgɔ Mawu ƒe aƒe la. Wonɔ dzodzom nyanyanya le nya sia kple tsi gã si nɔ dzadzam la ta.
Phakathi kwalezonsuku ezintathu wonke amadoda akoJuda lakoBhenjamini ayesebuthene eJerusalema. Kwathi ngelanga lamatshumi amabili lenyanga yesificamunye bonke abantu babehlezi esigcawini phambi kwendlu kaNkulunkulu, bekhathazekile ngombuthano lowo njalo begxanxwa lizulu elalisina.
10 Nunɔla Ezra tsitre gblɔ na wo be, “Miewɔ nuteƒe o, mieɖe dutanyɔnuwo, hedzi Israel ƒe agɔdzedze ɖe edzi.
Kwathi u-Ezra umphristi wasukuma wathi kubo, “Kalithembekanga; lisuke lathatha abafazi bezizweni, lengeza icala lika-Israyeli.
11 Azɔ la, miʋu nu vɔ̃ me na Yehowa, mia fofowo ƒe Mawu la, eye miwɔ eƒe lɔlɔ̃nu. Miɖe mia ɖokuiwo ɖa tso dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã mi la gbɔ, eye miɖe asi le miaƒe dutanyɔnuwo ŋu.”
Manje-ke vumani izono zenu kuThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho benu, lenze intando yakhe. Zahlukaniseni kulababantu elakhelene labo lasebafazini benu abezizwe.”
12 Ameha la ɖo eŋu nɛ kple gbe sesẽ be, “Wò nya la le eteƒe! Ele be míawɔ abe ale si nègblɔ ene,
Inkundla yonke yaphendula ngelizwi elikhulu yathi: “Uqondile! Kumele senze njengoba usitsho.
13 gake ame geɖewo le afi sia, eye wònye tsidzaŋɔli hã, ale míate ŋu anɔ tsitre ɖe gota o. Gawu la, womate ŋu awɔ nya sia ŋu dɔ le ŋkeke ɖeka alo eve me o, elabena míewɔ nu vɔ̃ gã aɖe le nu sia me.
Kodwa kulabantu abanengi lapha futhi lesi yisikhathi sezulu; ngakho ngeke sime lapha phandle. Futhi indaba le ingazake iphethwe ngosuku olulodwa kumbe ezimbili, ngoba sonile kakhulu ngento le.
14 Na be míaƒe amegãwo nawɔ dɔ ɖe ameha la nu, na be, ame siwo le míaƒe duwo me, esiwo ɖe dutanyɔnuwo la nava ɖe ɣeyiɣi ɖoɖiwo dzi kple dumegãwo kpakple ʋɔnudrɔ̃la siwo le du siwo me wotso la me va se ɖe esime míaƒe Mawu la ƒe dziku dziŋɔ la nakɔ ɖa le mía dzi.”
Akuthi izinduna zethu zisimele thina sonke. Akuthi wonkemuntu emizini yethu othethe umfazi wabezizwe eze ngesikhathi esimisiweyo, eze labadala kanye labehluleli balowomuzi, luze ludede kithi ulaka olwesabekayo lukaNkulunkulu wethu.”
15 Ame siwo tsi tsitre ɖe nya sia ŋu la koe nye, Yonatan, Asahel ƒe vi kple Yahzeya, Tikva ƒe vi eye Mesulam kple Sabetai, Levitɔ la, da megbe na wo.
Kwaba nguJonathani kuphela, indodana ka-Asaheli loJahizeya indodana kaThikhiva, besekelwa nguMeshulami loShabhethayi umLevi abakuphikisayo lokhu.

Ngakho izithunjwa zenza njengokwakumisiwe. U-Ezra umphristi wakhetha amadoda ayeyizinhloko zezimuli, oyedwa emulini, bonke baqanjwa ngamabizo. Ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga yetshumi bahlala phansi bawahlolisisa lawomacala,
