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.
Therefore, as Ezra was praying, and imploring, and weeping in this way, and was prostrate before the temple of God, an exceedingly great assembly of men and women and children was gathered to him from Israel. And the people wept with a great weeping.
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, from the sons of Elam, responded and said to Ezra: “We have sinned against our God, and have taken foreign wives from the peoples of the land. And now, if there is repentance within Israel over this,
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 strike a pact with the Lord our God, so that we may cast aside all the wives, and those who have been born from them, in accord with the will of the Lord, and of those who fear the precept of the Lord our God. So let it be done, according to the law.
4 Leve! Paske se ou menm ki responsab afè sila a, men nou va avèk nou. Pran kouraj e aji.”
Rise up. It is for you to discern, and we shall be with you. Be strengthened and act.”
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.
Therefore, Ezra rose up, and he caused the leaders of the priests and the Levites, and all of Israel, to swear that they would act in accord with this word. And they swore it.
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.
And Ezra rose up before the house of God, and he went away to the chamber of Jehohanan, the son of Eliashib, and he entered into it. He did not eat bread, and he did not drink water. For he was mourning the transgression of those who had arrived from the captivity.
7 Yo te fè yon dekrè nan tout Juda avèk Jérusalem a tout moun egzil yo, ke yo ta dwe rasanble Jérusalem,
And a voice was sent into Judah and Jerusalem, to all the sons of the transmigration, so that they would gather together in 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 all those who would not arrive within three days, in accord with the counsel of the leaders and the elders, would have all his substance taken away, and he would be cast out of the assembly of the transmigration.
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.
And so, all the men of Judah and of Benjamin convened in Jerusalem within three days. This was in the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month. And all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of the sin and the 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, rose up, and he said to them: “You have transgressed, and you have taken foreign wives, so that you added to the offenses 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.”
And now, make confession to the Lord, the God of your fathers, and do what pleases him, and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from your foreign wives.”
12 Konsa, tout asanble a te reponn ak yon gwo vwa: “Se konsa, jan ou te di a, se devwa nou pou nou fè.
And the entire multitude responded, and they said with a great voice: “In accord with your word to us, so let be it done.
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.
Yet truly, since the people are many, and it is the time of rain, and we cannot endure standing outside, and this is not a task for one or two days, (for certainly we have sinned greatly in this matter, )
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.”
let leaders be appointed among the entire multitude. And in all our cities, let those who have taken foreign wives arrive at appointed times, and with them the elders from city to city, and the judges, until the wrath of our God has been averted from us over this sin.”
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.
And so Jonathan, the son of Asahel, and Jahzeiah, the son of Tikvah, were appointed over this, and the Levites Meshullam and Shabbethai assisted 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.
And the sons of the transmigration did so. And Ezra, the priest, and the men who were the leaders of the families in the houses of their fathers, and all according to their names, went and sat down, on the first day of the tenth month, so that they might examine the matter.
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 made an end with all the men who had taken foreign wives, 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 there were found among the sons of the priests some who had taken foreign wives: From 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 swore with their hands that they would cast aside their wives, and that they would offer for their offense a ram from among the sheep.
