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.
As Ezra prayed and confessed, he wept and threw himself down before God's house. A very great assembly of Israelite men, women, and children gathered to him, for the people were weeping very greatly.
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.
Shekaniah son of Jehiel of the descendants of Elam said to Ezra, “We have been unfaithful to our God and have married foreign women from the people of the other lands. But in spite of this, there is still hope for Israel.
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.
So now let us make a covenant with our God to send out all the women and their children according to the Lord's instructions and the instructions of those who tremble at the commandments 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 this thing is for you to carry out, and we are with you. Be strong and do this.”
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.
So Ezra rose and made the priestly officials, the Levites, and all of Israel promise to act in this way. So they all took a solemn oath.
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 from before God's house and went to the rooms of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. He did not eat any bread or drink any water, since he was mourning concerning the faithlessness of those who had been in captivity.
7 A hai aku la lakou ma Iuda, a ma Ierusalema i ka poe pio a pau e honluulu lakou ma Ierusalema;
So they sent word in Judah and Jerusalem to all the people back from exile to assemble in 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.
Anyone who did not come in three days according to the instructions from the officials and elders forfeited all of his possessions and would be excluded from the great assembly of the people who had come back from exile.
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.
So all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled in Jerusalem in three days. It was the ninth month and the twentieth day of the month. All the people stood in the square before God's house and trembled because of the word and the 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.
Ezra the priest arose and said, “You yourselves have committed treason. You lived with foreign women so as to increase Israel's guilt.
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.
But now give praise to Yahweh, your ancestors' God, and do his will. Separate from the people 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.
All the assembly answered in a loud voice, “We will do as you have said.
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.
However, there are many people, and it is the rainy season. We have no strength to stand outside, and this is not only one or two days of work, since 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.
So let our officials represent all the assembly. Let all who have allowed foreign women to live in our cities come at the time that will be fixed with the city elders and the city judges until the raging wrath of our God goes away from us.”
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.
Jonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah opposed this, and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supported 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.
So the people who returned from exile did this. Ezra the priest selected men, the leaders in their ancestors' clans and houses—all of them by name, and they looked into the matter on the first day of the tenth month.
17 A hoopau lakou me na kanaka a pau i lawe i na wahine e, i ka la akahi o ka malama mua.
By the first day of the first month they had finished discovering which men had lived with foreign women.
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.
Among the descendants of the priests there were those who had lived with foreign women. Among the descendants of Jeshua son of Jozadak and his brothers there were Maaseiah, Eliezer, 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.
So they determined to send their wives away. Since they were guilty, they offered a ram from the flock for their guilt.
