Esdras 10
1 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.
Now while Ezra was making his prayer and his statement of wrongdoing, weeping and falling down before the house of God, a very great number of men and women and children out of Israel came together round him: for the people were weeping bitterly.
2 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.
And Shecaniah, the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answering, said to Ezra, We have done evil against our God, and have taken as our wives strange women of the peoples of the land: but still there is hope for Israel in this question.
3 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.
Let us now make an agreement with our God to put away all the wives and all their children, if it seems right to my lord and to those who go in fear of the words of our God; and let it be done in keeping with the law.
4 Leve! Paske se ou menm ki responsab afè sila a, men nou va avèk nou. Pran kouraj e aji.”
Up, now! for this is your business, and we are with you; take heart and do it.
5 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.
Then Ezra got up, and made the chiefs of the priests and the Levites and all Israel take an oath that they would do this. So they took an oath.
6 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.
Then Ezra got up from before the house of God and went into the room of Jehohanan, the son of Eliashib; but when he came there, he took no food or drink, for he was sorrowing for the sin of those who had come back.
7 Yo te fè yon dekrè nan tout Juda avèk Jérusalem a tout moun egzil yo, ke yo ta dwe rasanble Jérusalem,
And they made a public statement through all Judah and Jerusalem, to all those who had come back, that they were to come together to Jerusalem;
8 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.
And that if anyone did not come before three days were past, as ordered by the rulers and the responsible men, all his goods would be put under the curse, and he himself would be cut off from the meeting of the people who had come back.
9 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.
Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin came together to Jerusalem before three days were past; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people were seated in the wide square in front of the house of God, shaking with fear because of this business and because of the great rain.
10 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.
And Ezra the priest got to his feet and said to them, You have done wrong and taken strange women for your wives, so increasing the sin of Israel.
11 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.”
So now, give praise to the Lord, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and make yourselves separate from the peoples of the land and from the strange women.
12 Konsa, tout asanble a te reponn ak yon gwo vwa: “Se konsa, jan ou te di a, se devwa nou pou nou fè.
Then all the people, answering, said with a loud voice, As you have said, so it is right for us to do.
13 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.
But the number of people is great, and it is a time of much rain; it is not possible for us to go on waiting outside, and this is not a thing which may be done in one day or even two: for our sin in this business is great.
14 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.”
So now let our rulers be representatives for all the people, and let all those in our towns who are married to strange women come at fixed times, and with them the responsible men and the judges of every town, till the burning wrath of our God is turned away from us, and this has been done.
15 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.
Only Jonathan, the son of Asahel, and Jahzeiah, the son of Tikvah, were against this, Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supporting them.
16 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.
So those who had come back did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain heads of families, by their fathers' families, all of them by their names, were marked out; and on the first day of the tenth month they took their places to go into the question with care.
17 Yo te fin fè rechèch la sou tout mesye ki te marye ak fanm etranje yo pou rive nan premye jou premye mwa a.
And they got to the end of all the men who were married to strange women by the first day of the first month.
18 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.
And among the sons of the priests who were married to strange women were these: of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak and his brothers, Maaseiah and Eliezer and Jarib and Gedaliah.
19 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.
And they gave their word that they would put away their wives; and for their sin, they gave an offering of a male sheep of the flock.
