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.
Lapho u-Ezra wayekhuleka njalo evuma izono, ekhala eziwisela phansi phambi kwendlu kaNkulunkulu, ixuku elikhulu labako-Israyeli kubalisa amadoda labafazi labantwana, babuthana kuye. Labo bakhala kabuhlungu.
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.
Yikho uShekhaniya indodana kaJehiyeli, omunye wesizukulwane sika-Elamu, wathi ku-Ezra, “Kasizange sithembeke kuNkulunkulu wethu ngoba sathatha abafazi bezizweni ebantwini esakhelene labo. Kodwa loba kunjalo ithemba lisekhona ngo-Israyeli.
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.
Manje kasenzeni isivumelwano phambi kukaNkulunkulu wethu ukubalahla bonke labobafazi labantwababo njengeseluleko senkosi yami lalabo abayesabayo imilayo kaNkulunkulu wethu. Kakwenziwe ngendlela yoMthetho.
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.
Sukuma; indaba le isezandleni zakho. Thina sizakusekela, yikho yiba lesibindi ukwenze.”
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.
Ngakho u-Ezra waphakama wafungisa bonke abakhokheli babaphristi labaLevi lo-Israyeli wonke ukwenza lokho okwakumisiwe. Basenza lesosifungo.
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.
U-Ezra wasesuka endlini kaNkulunkulu waya endlini kaJehohanani indodana ka-Eliyashibi. Elapho kadlanga lutho njalo kazange anathe manzi, ngoba waqhubeka elilela ukungathembeki kwezithunjwa.
7 A hai aku la lakou ma Iuda, a ma Ierusalema i ka poe pio a pau e honluulu lakou ma Ierusalema;
Kwasekukhutshwa isimemezelo kulolonke elakoJuda kanye leJerusalema ukuthi zonke izithunjwa kaziqoqane eJerusalema.
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.
Ingqe ngubani ongafikanga phakathi kwensuku ezintathu wayezathathelwa yonke impahla alayo, kulandelwa isinqumo sezinduna labadala, kuthi yena ngokwakhe axotshwe emphakathini walabo ababethunjiwe.
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.
Phakathi kwalezonsuku ezintathu wonke amadoda akoJuda lakoBhenjamini ayesebuthene eJerusalema. Kwathi ngelanga lamatshumi amabili lenyanga yesificamunye bonke abantu babehlezi esigcawini phambi kwendlu kaNkulunkulu, bekhathazekile ngombuthano lowo njalo begxanxwa lizulu elalisina.
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.
Kwathi u-Ezra umphristi wasukuma wathi kubo, “Kalithembekanga; lisuke lathatha abafazi bezizweni, lengeza icala lika-Israyeli.
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.
Manje-ke vumani izono zenu kuThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho benu, lenze intando yakhe. Zahlukaniseni kulababantu elakhelene labo lasebafazini benu abezizwe.”
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.
Inkundla yonke yaphendula ngelizwi elikhulu yathi: “Uqondile! Kumele senze njengoba usitsho.
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.
Kodwa kulabantu abanengi lapha futhi lesi yisikhathi sezulu; ngakho ngeke sime lapha phandle. Futhi indaba le ingazake iphethwe ngosuku olulodwa kumbe ezimbili, ngoba sonile kakhulu ngento le.
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.
Akuthi izinduna zethu zisimele thina sonke. Akuthi wonkemuntu emizini yethu othethe umfazi wabezizwe eze ngesikhathi esimisiweyo, eze labadala kanye labehluleli balowomuzi, luze ludede kithi ulaka olwesabekayo lukaNkulunkulu wethu.”
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.
Kwaba nguJonathani kuphela, indodana ka-Asaheli loJahizeya indodana kaThikhiva, besekelwa nguMeshulami loShabhethayi umLevi abakuphikisayo lokhu.
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.
Ngakho izithunjwa zenza njengokwakumisiwe. U-Ezra umphristi wakhetha amadoda ayeyizinhloko zezimuli, oyedwa emulini, bonke baqanjwa ngamabizo. Ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga yetshumi bahlala phansi bawahlolisisa lawomacala,
17 A hoopau lakou me na kanaka a pau i lawe i na wahine e, i ka la akahi o ka malama mua.
kwathi ngelanga lokuqala ngenyanga yokuqala baqeda ukuphatha indaba yamadoda ayethethe abafazi bezizweni.
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.

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.
