Esidrasi 10
1 Wana Esidrasi azalaki kobondela mpe kotubela masumu, azalaki ya kofukama mpe azalaki kolela liboso ya Ndako ya Nzambe. Ebele ya bana ya Isalaele: mibali, basi mpe bana, basanganaki pene na ye mpe, bango nyonso, bazalaki kolela makasi.
Now while Ezra was making his prayer and his statement of wrongdoing, weeping and falling down before the house of God, a very great number of men and women and children out of Israel came together round him: for the people were weeping bitterly.
2 Bongo Shekania, mwana mobali ya Yeyeli, moko kati na bakitani ya Elami, alobaki na Esidrasi: « Solo, tosalaki makambo ya mbindo na miso ya Nzambe na biso, pamba te tobali basi ya bapaya kati na bikolo oyo ezali elongo na biso kati na mboka oyo; kasi atako bongo, elikya ezali nanu mpo na Isalaele!
And Shecaniah, the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answering, said to Ezra, We have done evil against our God, and have taken as our wives strange women of the peoples of the land: but still there is hope for Israel in this question.
3 Sik’oyo, tika ete tosala boyokani elongo na Nzambe na biso mpo na kobengana basi wana nyonso elongo na bana na bango, kolanda toli na yo Esidrasi, nkolo na ngai, mpe kolanda toli ya bato nyonso oyo balengaka liboso ya mibeko ya Nzambe na biso! Tika ete esalema kolanda Mobeko!
Let us now make an agreement with our God to put away all the wives and all their children, if it seems right to my lord and to those who go in fear of the words of our God; and let it be done in keeping with the law.
4 Telema, pamba te yo nde osengeli kotala likambo oyo! Tozali elongo na yo mpo na kosunga yo. Yika mpiko mpe sala! »
Up, now! for this is your business, and we are with you; take heart and do it.
5 Esidrasi atelemaki mpe asengaki na bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, Balevi mpe bana nyonso ya Isalaele kolapa ndayi ete bakosalela makambo oyo ndenge elobami. Mpe balapaki ndayi.
Then Ezra got up, and made the chiefs of the priests and the Levites and all Israel take an oath that they would do this. So they took an oath.
6 Bongo Esidrasi alongwaki liboso ya Ndako ya Nzambe mpe akendeki na shambre ya Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Eliashibi. Wana azalaki kuna, atikalaki kolia eloko moko te mpe komela mayi te; pamba te azalaki kokoba kosala matanga likolo ya makambo ya mbindo ya bato oyo bawutaki na bowumbu.
Then Ezra got up from before the house of God and went into the room of Jehohanan, the son of Eliashib; but when he came there, he took no food or drink, for he was sorrowing for the sin of those who had come back.
7 Bapanzaki sango kati na Yuda mpe na Yelusalemi ete bato nyonso oyo bawutaki na bowumbu basangana na Yelusalemi.
And they made a public statement through all Judah and Jerusalem, to all those who had come back, that they were to come together to Jerusalem;
8 Kolanda mokano ya bakalaka mpe bakambi ya bato, moto nyonso oyo akomonana te sima na mikolo misato, bakobotola biloko na ye nyonso mpe bakolongola ye na lisanga ya bato oyo bawutaki na bowumbu.
And that if anyone did not come before three days were past, as ordered by the rulers and the responsible men, all his goods would be put under the curse, and he himself would be cut off from the meeting of the people who had come back.
9 Sima na mikolo yango misato, bato nyonso ya Yuda mpe ya Benjame basanganaki na Yelusalemi. Na mokolo ya tuku mibale ya sanza ya libwa, bato nyonso bavandaki kati na lopango, liboso ya Ndako ya Nzambe, mpe bazalaki kolenga makasi likolo ya makambo oyo mpe mpo ete mvula ezalaki kobeta makasi.
Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin came together to Jerusalem before three days were past; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people were seated in the wide square in front of the house of God, shaking with fear because of this business and because of the great rain.
10 Nganga-Nzambe Esidrasi atelemaki mpe alobaki na bango: — Bosalaki makambo ya mbindo awa bobalaki basi ya bapaya; mpe, na nzela na yango, bobakiselaki Isalaele ngambo.
And Ezra the priest got to his feet and said to them, You have done wrong and taken strange women for your wives, so increasing the sin of Israel.
11 Sik’oyo, boyambola masumu na bino epai na Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bino, mpe bokokisa mokano na Ye! Bokabwana na bato ya bikolo ya bapaya oyo bazali kati na bino mpe bokabwana na basi na bino ya bapaya.
So now, give praise to the Lord, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and make yourselves separate from the peoples of the land and from the strange women.
12 Lisanga mobimba ezongisaki na mongongo makasi: — Ezali se bongo, tokosala ndenge olobi!
Then all the people, answering, said with a loud voice, As you have said, so it is right for us to do.
13 Nzokande tozali bato ebele awa, mpe ezali eleko ya mvula; tokoki kowumela na libanda te. Kutu, ezali te likambo ya mokolo moko to ya mikolo mibale, pamba te ebele kati na biso basali masumu kati na likambo oyo.
But the number of people is great, and it is a time of much rain; it is not possible for us to go on waiting outside, and this is not a thing which may be done in one day or even two: for our sin in this business is great.
14 Tika ete bakambi na biso batikala awa na esika ya lisanga mobimba! Mpe tika ete bato nyonso oyo, kati na bingumba na biso, babalaki basi ya bapaya bakende liboso ya bakambi mpe basambisi ya engumba moko na moko, na mikolo oyo bakokatela bango, kino kanda makasi ya Nzambe na biso ekolongwa kati na biso na tina na likambo yango.
So now let our rulers be representatives for all the people, and let all those in our towns who are married to strange women come at fixed times, and with them the responsible men and the judges of every town, till the burning wrath of our God is turned away from us, and this has been done.
15 Kaka Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Azaeli, mpe Yakizia, mwana mobali ya Tikiva, elongo na Meshulami mpe Shabetayi, moto ya libota ya Levi, nde batelemelaki mokano oyo.
Only Jonathan, the son of Asahel, and Jahzeiah, the son of Tikvah, were against this, Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supporting them.
16 Kasi bato oyo bawutaki na bowumbu basalaki ndenge elobamaki. Nganga-Nzambe Esidrasi aponaki bakambi ya mabota, moko mpo na libota moko na moko, mpe abengaki bango nyonso na bakombo na bango. Babandaki kovanda mpo na koyekola makambo yango na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya zomi.
So those who had come back did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain heads of families, by their fathers' families, all of them by their names, were marked out; and on the first day of the tenth month they took their places to go into the question with care.
17 Mpe, na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya liboso, basilisaki koyekola makambo ya mibali nyonso oyo babalaki basi ya bapaya.
And they got to the end of all the men who were married to strange women by the first day of the first month.
18 Tala kati na bakitani ya Banganga-Nzambe, mibali oyo babalaki basi ya bapaya: Kati na bakitani ya Jozue, mwana mobali ya Yotsadaki elongo na bandeko na ye ya mibali: Maaseya, Eliezeri, Yaribi mpe Gedalia.
And among the sons of the priests who were married to strange women were these: of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak and his brothers, Maaseiah and Eliezer and Jarib and Gedaliah.
19 Bango nyonso batombolaki maboko mpo na kozwa mokano ya kobengana basi na bango mpe ya kobonza meme ya mobali lokola mbeka mpo na masumu na bango.
And they gave their word that they would put away their wives; and for their sin, they gave an offering of a male sheep of the flock.
