Ezra 10
1 Kabayatan ti panagkararag ken panagkumpisar ni Ezra, nagsangsangit isuna ket nagpakleb iti sangoanan ti balay ti Dios. Adu a taripnong ti lallaki, babbai, ken ub-ubbing nga Israelita ti immaribungbong kenkuana ken kasta unay ti panagsangsangit dagiti tattao.
As Ezra was praying and confessing sins, weeping and falling down on his face before God's Temple, a very large crowd of Israelites, men, women, and children, gathered around him. The people were weeping bitterly as well.
2 Kinuna kenkuana ni Secanias a putot a lalaki ni Jehiel iti kaputotan ni Elam, “Dakami a mismo ket nakaaramid iti maikaniwas iti Diostayo ken nakipagnaedkami kadagiti ganggannaet a babbai manipud kadagiti tattao kadagiti sabali a daga. Ngem ita, adda namnama para iti Israel maipapan iti daytoy.
Shecaniah, son of Jehiel, an Elamite, said to Ezra: “Yes, we have been unfaithful to our God because we have married foreign women from the people of the land. But even so there is still hope for Israel over this.
3 Isu nga ita, agkaritayo iti Diostayo a papanawentayo dagiti amin a babbai ken dagiti annakda segun kadagiti pagannurotan ti Apo ken segun iti pagannurotan dagiti agbuteng kadagiti bilbilin ti Diostayo, ket maaramid koma daytoy segun iti linteg.
Let us make a solemn agreement right now before our God that we will send away all the foreign wives and their children. We will follow the directions given by you and those who respect the instructions of our God, carried out according to the Law.
4 Tumakderka, ta daytoy a banag ket pagrebbengam nga aramiden, ket kaduaandaka. Patibkerem ti nakemmo ket aramidem daytoy.”
Take action! It's your responsibility. We are with you. Be brave and do it!”
5 Isu a timmakder ni Ezra, pinagkarina dagiti opisial a papadi, dagiti Levita ken dagiti amin nga Israelita nga agtignayda iti kastoy a wagas. Nagkarida.
So Ezra stood up and made the leading priests, Levites, and all the Israelites present take an oath to act on what had just been said. They all took the oath.
6 Kalpasanna, pimmanaw ni Ezra iti sangoanan ti balay ti Dios ket napan iti siled ni Jehonahan a putot a lalaki ni Eliasib. Saan isuna a nangan iti aniaman a tinapay wenno imminum iti danum, gapu ta agladladingit isuna maipapan iti kina-awan pammati dagiti naggapu iti pannaka-ibalud.
Then Ezra left them in front of God's Temple, and went to the room of Jehohanan, son of Eliashib. During the time he stayed there, he didn't eat or drink anything, because he was still mourning the unfaithfulness of the exiles.
7 Nangipatulodda iti mensahe idiay Juda ken idiay Jerusalem kadagiti amin a tattao a nagsubli manipud iti pannakaipanaw a kas balud nga aguummongda idiay Jerusalem.
Then a proclamation was issued throughout Judah and Jerusalem that all the exiles should assemble in Jerusalem.
8 Siasinoman a saan a makaumay iti las-ud ti tallo nga aldaw segun iti pagannurotan dagiti opisial ken dagiti panglakayen ket masamsam amin dagiti sanikuana, ken saanen a maibilang iti dakkel a gimong dagiti tattao a nagsubli manipud iti pannakaipanaw.
Anyone who did not come within three days would have all their property confiscated, and would be banned from the assembly of the exiles. This was the decision of the leaders and elders.
9 Naguummong ngarud dagiti amin a tattao ti Juda ken Bejamin idiay Jerusalem iti tallo nga aldaw. Daytoy ti maikaduapulo nga aldaw iti maikasiam a bulan. Nagtakder dagiti amin a tattao iti plasa ti sangoanan ti balay ti Dios ket nagtigergerda gapu iti sao ken iti tudo.
Within three days, everyone from Judah and Benjamin assembled in Jerusalem. On the twentieth day of the ninth month, all the people sat in the square beside God's Temple, shivering because of this issue and also because of the heavy rain.
10 Timmakder ni Ezra a padi ket kinunana, “Nagbasolkayo. Nakidennakayo kadagiti ganggannaet a babbai a nangpaadu ti basol ti Israel.
Ezra the priest stood up and told them, “You have committed sin by marrying foreign women, making Israel's guilt even worse.
11 Ngem ita dayawenyo ni Yahweh, ti Dios ti kapuonanyo, ken aramidenyo ti pagayatanna. Suminakayo kadagiti tattao iti daga ken kadagiti ganggannaet a babbai.”
Now you must confess your sin to the Lord, the God of your forefathers, and do what he requires. Sever your connections with the people of the land and your foreign wives.”
12 Simmungbat babaen iti napigsa a timek dagiti amin a gimong, “Aramidenmi kas imbagam.
The whole assembly answered in a loud voice: “We agree, and we promise to do as you say!
13 Nupay kasta, adu dagiti tattao, ket panagtutudo pay. Awan pigsami a tumakder iti ruar, ket saan laeng a maysa wenno dua nga aldaw ti panangaramid iti daytoy, gapu ta dakkel unay ti nagbasolanmi iti daytoy a banag.
But there are a lot of people here, and it's pouring with rain. We can't stay outside. More to the point, this isn't something that can be fixed in one or two days, for we have sinned extremely seriously in this.
14 Isu a bay-am a dagiti opisialesmi ti mangibagi iti amin a gimong. Dagiti nangipalubos kadagiti ganggannaet a babbai nga agnaed iti siuadadtayo ket bay-am nga umay iti tiempo nga ituding dagiti panglakayen ken ukom ti siudad agingga a maikkat ti nakaro a pungtot ti Diostayo kadatayo.”
Let our leaders act on behalf of the whole assembly. Then let every man in each of our towns who has married a foreign woman be given an appointment to come and meet, together with the elders and judges of that town, until our God is no longer angry with us over this.”
15 Sinuppiat daytoy ni Jonatan a putot a lalaki ni Asael ken ni Jazeyas a putot a lalaki ni Tikva, ket immanamong kadakuada da Mesullam ken Sabbetai a Levita.
The only ones to oppose this were Jonathan, son of Asahel, and Jahzeiah, son of Tikvah, supported by Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite.
16 Isu a daytoy ti inaramid dagiti tattao a nagsubli manipud iti pannakaitalaw. Nangpili ni Ezra a padi kadagiti lallaki, dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti puli ti kapuonanda ken babbalayda—aminda babaen iti nagan, rinugianda a sinukimat ti maipanggep iti banag iti umuna nga aldaw iti maikasangapulo a bulan.
So this what the exiles did, selecting Ezra the priest and family leaders, according to their family divisions, all of them specifically named. On the first day of the tenth month they sat down to begin the inquiry,
17 Iti umuna nga aldaw ti umuna a bulan, naileppasda ti panangsukimat no siasino kadagiti lallaki ti nakipagnaed kadagiti ganggannaet a babbai.
and by the first day of the first month they had finished handling all the cases of men who had married foreign women.
18 Kadagiti kaputotan dagiti padi ket adda dagiti nakipagnaed kadagiti ganggannaet a babbai. Kadagiti kaputotan ni Josue a putot a lalaki ni Josadac ken kadagiti lallaki a kakabsatna, ket da Maasias, Eliezer, Jarib, ken Gedalias.
Among the descendants of the priests, the following had married foreign women: from the sons of Jeshua son of Jozadak, and his brothers Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah.
19 Ket disididoda a mangpapanaw kadagiti assawada a babbai. Agsipud ta nagbasolda, nangidatonda iti kalakian a karnero manipud iti arban para kadagiti basolda.
They vowed to send their wives away, and they presented a ram from the flock as a guilt offering for their guilt.
