Ezra 10
1 Yayinda Ezra yake addu’a, yake kuma furta laifi, yana kuka, yana a durƙushe da kansa ƙasa a gaban gidan Allah, sai babban taron jama’ar Isra’ilawa, maza, mata da yara, suka taru a wurinsa. Su ma suka yi kuka mai zafi.
While Ezra prayed and made this confession, weeping and falling facedown before the house of God, a very large assembly of Israelites—men, women, and children—gathered around him, and the people wept bitterly as well.
2 Sai Shekaniya ɗan Yehiyel, daga zuriyar Elam ya ce wa Ezra, “Mun yi wa Allah rashin aminci ta wurin yin auratayya da maƙwabtanmu, amma duk da haka bai yashe mutanen Isra’ila ba.
Then Shecaniah son of Jehiel, an Elamite, said to Ezra: “We have been unfaithful to our God by marrying foreign women from the people of the land, yet in spite of this, there is hope for Israel.
3 Yanzu bari mu yi alkawari da Allahnmu, mu kori matan da yaransu bisa ga abin da ranka yă daɗe da sauran shugabannin da kuke girmama umarnin Allah kuka shawarce mu, bari mu yi haka bisa ga doka.
So now let us make a covenant before our God to send away all the foreign wives and their children, according to the counsel of my lord and of those who tremble at the command of our God. Let it be done according to the Law.
4 Sai ka tashi, gama wannan hakkinka ne, za mu ba ka goyon baya. Saboda haka ka yi ƙarfin hali ka aikata shi.”
Get up, for this matter is your responsibility, and we will support you. Be strong and take action!”
5 Sai Ezra ya tashi ya sa firistoci da suke shugabanni, da Lawiyawa, da dukan mutanen Isra’ila su rantse, cewa za su yi abin da aka ce. Sai suka yi rantsuwar.
So Ezra got up and made the leading priests, Levites, and all Israel take an oath to do what had been said. And they took the oath.
6 Sa’an nan Ezra ya tashi daga gidan Allah ya tafi gidan Yehohanan ɗan Eliyashib, a can ma bai ci wani abu ba, bai sha ruwa ba domin ya ci gaba da yin baƙin cikin rashin aminci na waɗanda suka dawo daga bauta.
Then Ezra withdrew from before the house of God and walked to the chamber of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. And while he stayed there, he ate no food and drank no water, because he was mourning over the unfaithfulness of the exiles.
7 Aka yi shela a duk fāɗin Yahuda da Urushalima cewa dukan waɗanda suka dawo daga bauta su tattaru a Urushalima.
And a proclamation was issued throughout Judah and Jerusalem that all the exiles should gather at Jerusalem.
8 Duk wanda bai zo a cikin kwana uku ba, za a washe shi, a kuma ware shi daga jama’ar da suka dawo daga bauta. Haka shugabanni da dattawa suka zartar.
Whoever failed to appear within three days would forfeit all his property, according to the counsel of the leaders and elders, and would himself be expelled from the assembly of the exiles.
9 A cikin kwana uku duk mutanen Yahuda da na Benyamin suka taru a Urushalima. A ranar ashirin ga watan tara, dukan mutanen suka zauna a dandali a gaban gidan Allah cike da ɓacin rai saboda abin da ya faru da kuma ruwan da aka yi.
So within the three days, all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled in Jerusalem, and on the twentieth day of the ninth month, all the people sat in the square at the house of God, trembling regarding this matter and because of the heavy rain.
10 Sai Ezra firist ya miƙe tsaye ya yi musu magana ya ce, “Kun yi rashin aminci; kun aure mata baƙi, ta haka kuka ƙara kan zunubin Isra’ila.
Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have been unfaithful by marrying foreign women, adding to the guilt of Israel.
11 Yanzu sai ku furta zunubanku ga Ubangiji, Allahn kakanninku, ku kuma yi nufinsa. Ku raba kanku da mutanen da suke kewaye da ku, ku kuma rabu da baƙin mata.”
Now, therefore, make a confession to the LORD, the God of your fathers, and do His will. Separate yourselves from the people of the land and from your foreign wives.”
12 Mutanen kuwa suka tā da murya da ƙarfi suka ce, “Gaskiya ka faɗa, dole mu yi yadda ka ce,
And the whole assembly responded in a loud voice: “Truly we must do as you say!
13 Amma akwai mutane da yawa, kuma lokacin damina ne; saboda haka ba za mu iya tsayawa a waje ba. Ban da haka ma, aikin nan ba na kwana ɗaya ko biyu ba ne, domin ba ƙaramin laifi muka yi ba.
But there are many people here, and it is the rainy season. We are not able to stay out in the open. Nor is this the work of one or two days, for we have transgressed greatly in this matter.
14 Bari shugabanninmu su yi wani abu a madadin mutane duka, sa’an nan sai duk wanda ya san ya auri baƙuwar mace a garuruwanmu, sai yă zo nan a lokacin da aka shirya tare da dattawa da alƙalan kowane gari, har sai Allah ya huce fushinsa mai zafi da yake kanmu.”
Let our leaders represent the whole assembly. Then let everyone in our towns who has married a foreign woman come at an appointed time, together with the elders and judges of each town, until the fierce anger of our God in this matter is turned away from us.”
15 Yonatan ɗan Asahel, da Yazehiya ɗan Tikba su ne kaɗai ba su yarda da wannan shirin ba, sai Meshullam da Shabbetai Balawe kuma suka goyi bayansu.
(Only Jonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah, supported by Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite, opposed this plan.)
16 Sai waɗanda suka dawo daga bauta suka yi yadda aka zartar. Ezra firist ya zaɓi mutane waɗanda su ne shugabannin iyalai, ɗaya daga kowane sashe, aka rubuta sunan kowannensu. A ranar ɗaya ga watan goma kuwa suka zauna don su yi binciken waɗannan abubuwa.
So the exiles did as proposed. Ezra the priest selected men who were family heads, each of them identified by name, to represent their families. On the first day of the tenth month they launched the investigation,
17 A rana ta farko ga watan farko, suka gama da bincike duk waɗanda suka auri baƙin mata.
and by the first day of the first month they had dealt with all the men who had married foreign women.
18 A cikin zuriyar firistoci, ga waɗanda suka auri mata baƙi. Daga zuriyar Yeshuwa ɗan Yozadak da’yan’uwansa, akwai Ma’asehiya, da Eliyezer, da Yarib, da Gedaliya.
Among the descendants of the priests who had married foreign women were found these descendants of Jeshua son of Jozadak and his brothers: Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah.
19 (Su ne suka miƙa hannuwansu suka nuna sun yarda su kori matansu baƙi, kowannensu kuma ya ba da rago daga cikin garkensa don a miƙa hadaya don zunubi.)
They pledged to send their wives away, and for their guilt they presented a ram from the flock as a guilt offering.
