Ezera 10

1 A PAU ka Ezera pule ana, a me ka uwe ana, a me ka moe ana imua o ka hale o ke Akua, hoakoakoaia ae la io na la he anaina kanaka nui loa o ka Iseraela, na kane, me na wahine a me na kamalii; no ka mea, he nui loa ka uwe o na kanaka.

Now while Ezra prayed, and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there was gathered together unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children; for the people wept very sore.

2 A olelo mai o Sekania ke keiki a Iehiela, no na mamo a Elama, i mai la ia Ezera, Ua hana hewa makou i ke Akua, a ua lawe makou i na wahine e no na kanaka o ka aina: aka ano, he manaolana no iloko o ka Iseraela no keia mea.

And Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra: 'We have broken faith with our God, and have married foreign women of the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.

3 Ano hoi, e hoohiki kakou i ko kakou Akua e hookuke aku i na wahine a pau, a me na mea a lakou i hanau ai, e like me ke ao ana a kuu haku, a me ka poe e makau ana i ke kauoha a ko kakou Akua; a e hanaia ia mea ma ke kanawai.

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 the LORD, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.

4 E ku ae oe, no ka mea, ia oe no keia mea: o makou pu kekahi me oe; e ikaika oe, a e hana.

Arise; for the matter belongeth unto thee, and we are with thee; be of good courage, and do it.'

5 Alaila ku ae la o Ezera, a hoohiki aku la i na kahuna nui, i na Levi, a me ka Iseraela a pau, e hana lakou e like me keia olelo. A hoohiki iho la lakou.

Then arose Ezra, and made the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. So they swore.

6 Alaila ku ae la o Ezera mai ke alo mai o ka hale o ke Akua, a komo iloko o ke keena o Iehohanana ke keiki a Eliasiba; a hiki aku ia ilaila, aole ia i ai i ka ai, aole hoi i inu i ka wai; no ka mea, uwe iho la ia no ka hewa o ka poe pio i hoi mai.

Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib; and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water; for he mourned because of the faithlessness of them of the captivity.

7 A hai aku la lakou ma Iuda, a ma Ierusalema i ka poe pio a pau e honluulu lakou ma Ierusalema;

And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;

8 A o na mea a pau i hele ole mai i na la ekolu, e like me ke kauoha a na luna, a me ka poe kahiko, e hoolaaia kona waiwai a pau, a e hookaawaleia oia mai ko anaina kanaka aku o ka poe pio i lawe pio ia aku.

and that whosoever came not 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 the captivity.

9 Alaila hoakoakoaia ae la na kanaka a pau o ka Iuda, a o ka Beniamina i Ierusalema i na la ekolu, i ka iwa o ka malama, a i ka la iwakalua o ka malama; a noho iho la na kanaka a pau ma ke ala o ka hale o ke Akua, e haalulu ana no keia mea, a no ka ua nui.

Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within the three days; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the broad place before the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.

10 Ku ae la o Ezera ke kahuna, a olelo aku la ia lakou, Ua hana hewa oukou, a ua lawe i na wahine e, e hoomahuahua i ka hala o ka Iseraela.

And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them: 'Ye have broken faith, and have married foreign women, to increase the guilt of Israel.

11 Ano hoi, e hai aku oukou ia Iehova ke Akua o ko oukou poe makua, a e hana i kona makemake; a hookaawale oukou ia oukou iho mai na kanaka o ka aina aku, a mai na wahine e aku.

Now therefore make confession unto the LORD, the God of your fathers, and do His pleasure; and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women.'

12 Alaila olelo mai la ka ahakanaka a pau, i mai la me ka leo nui, E like me kau olelo, pela makou e hana aku ai.

Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice: 'As thou hast said, so it is for us to do.

13 Aka, ua nui na kanaka, a he manawa ua nui, aole e hiki ia makou ke ku mawaho, a o ka hana, aole ia no ka la hookahi, aole no na la elua; no ka mea, ua nui na mea o makou i hana hewa ma keia mea.

But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two; for we have greatly transgressed in this matter.

14 Ano hoi, e hoonohoia na luna o ka ahakanaka a pau, a o na mea a pau ma ko kakou mau kulanakauhale i lawe i na wahine e, e hele mai lakou i ka manawa maopopo, a me lakou pu no na lunakahiko o kela kulanakauhale keia kulanakauhale, a me na lunakanawai ona, a e hoohuli ae i ka inaina o ko kakou Akua mai o kakou aku no keia hewa.

Let now our princes of all the congregation stand, and let all them that are in our cities that have married foreign women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God be turned from us, as touching this matter.'

15 O Ionatana wale no, ke keiki a Asahela, a o Iahazia ke keiki a Tikeva i noho no keia mea, a o Mesulama, a me Sabetai ka Levi, i kokua mai ia laua.

Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this matter; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.

16 A hana aku la pela ka poe pio i hoi mai. A o Ezera ke kahuna, me na kauaka koikoi o na makua, no ka hale o ko lakou mau makua, o lakou a pau ma ko lakou inoa i hookaawaleia, a noho iho la lakou i ka la mua o ka umi o ka malama e hookolokolo ai i keia mea.

And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain heads of fathers' houses, after their fathers' houses, and all of them by their names, were separated; and they sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.

17 A hoopau lakou me na kanaka a pau i lawe i na wahine e, i ka la akahi o ka malama mua.

And they were finished with all the men that had married foreign women by the first day of the first month.

18 A ua loaa iwaena o na keiki a na kahuna, na mea i lawe i na wahine e; no na mamo a Iesua ke keiki a Iozadaka, a me kona mau hoahanau, o Maaseia, a o Eliezera, o Iariba, a me Gedalia.

And among the sons of the priests there were found that had married foreign women, namely: of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brethren, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.

19 A haawi mai lakou i ko lakou mau lima e hookuke aku i ka lakou mau wahine; a kaumaha aku lakou i ka hipakane o ka poe hipa i mohaihala no ko lakou lawehala ana.

And they gave their hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their guilt.
