Ezra 10

1 Ary raha mbola nivavaka sy nitsotra Ezra sady nitomany sy niankohoka teo anoloan’ ny tranon’ Andriamanitra, dia nivory teo aminy ny olona maro be avy tamin’ ny Isiraely, na lehilahy, na vehivavy mbamin’ ny ankizy madinika; fa nitomany mafy dia mafy koa ny olona.

Now when Esdras was thus praying, and beseeching, and weeping, and lying before the temple of God, there was gathered to him of Israel an exceeding great assembly of men and women and children, and the people wept with much lamentation.

2 Dia namaly Sekania, zanak’ i Jehiela, isan’ ny taranak’ i Elama, ka nanao tamin’ i Ezra hoe: Izahay efa nanao izay mahadiso amin’ Andriamanitsika, fa efa naka vehivavy hafa firenena avy tamin’ ny tompon-tany ho vadinay; nefa mbola misy fanantenana ihany ho an’ ny Isiraely ny amin’ izany zavatra izany.

And Sechenias the son of Jehiel of the sons of Elam answered, and said to Esdras: We have sinned against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: and now if there be repentance in Israel concerning this,

3 Koa aoka izahay hanao fanekena amin’ Andriamanitsika hisaotra ny vady rehetra sy hanary izay naterany araka ny anatra nataonao, tompokolahy, sy izay mangovitra noho ny didin’ Andriamanitsika; ary aoka hatao araka ny lalàna izany.

Let us make a covenant with the Lord our God, to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the will of the Lord, and of them that fear the commandment of the Lord our God: let it be done according to the law.

4 Mitsangàna, fa adidinao izany; ary indreto koa izahay eto aminao; dia matokia tsara, ka ataovy izany.

Arise, it is thy part to give orders, and we will be with thee: take courage, and do it.

5 Dia nitsangana Ezra ka nampianiana ny lohan’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ary ny Isiraely rehetra hanao araka izany teny izany; dia nianiana ireo.

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

6 Dia nitsangana niala teo anoloan’ ny tranon’ Andriamanitra Ezra ka nankany amin’ ny efi-trano nitoeran’ i Johanana, zanak’ i Eliasiba; ary nony tafiditra tao izy, dia tsy mba nihinan-kanina na nisotro rano, fa nalahelo izy noho ny fahadisoan’ ny olona izay efa niverina avy tamin’ ny fahababoana.

And Esdras rose up from before the house of God, and went to the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliasib, and entered in thither: he ate no bread, and drank no water: for he mourned for the transgression of them that were come out of the captivity.

7 Dia nandefa teny eran’ i Joda sy Jerosalema ireo ho any amin’ ny olona rehetra izay efa niverina avy tamin’ ny fahababoana mba hivory any Jerosalema;

And proclamation was made in Juda and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should assemble together into Jerusalem.

8 ary na iza na iza no tsy tonga amin’ ny hateloana araka ny tenin’ ny mpanapaka sy ny loholona, dia horobaina ny fananany rehetra, ary hesorina amin’ ny fiangonan’ ny olona izay efa niverina avy tamin’ ny fahababoana izy.

And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the ancients, all his substance should be taken away, and he should be cast out of the company of them that were returned from captivity.

9 Ary nony tamin’ ny andro fahatelo dia vory tany Jerosalema ny lehilahy rehetra tamin’ ny Joda sy ny Benjamina, dia tamin’ ny andro faharoa-polo tamin’ ny volana fahasivy; ary nipetraka teo an-kalalahana akaikin’ ny tranon’ Andriamanitra ny olona rehetra ka nangovitra noho izany zavatra izany sy noho ny ranonorana be.

Then all the men of Juda, and Benjamin gathered themselves together to Jerusalem within three days, in the ninth month, the twentieth day of the month: and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of the sin, and the rain.

10 Dia nitsangana Ezra mpisorona ka nanao taminy hoe: Hianareo efa nanao izay mahadiso, satria naka vehivavy hafa firenena ho vadinareo ka nampitombo ny fahadisoan’ ny Isiraely.

And Esdras the priest stood up, and said to them: You have transgressed, and taken strange wives, to add to the sins of Israel.

11 Koa mitsora amin’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razanareo, ka ataovy ny sitrapony; ary misaraha amin’ ny olona tompon-tany sy ny vehivavy hafa firenena.

And now make confession to the Lord the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure, and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from your strange wives.

12 Dia namaly ny fiangonana rehetra ka niredona mafy hoe: Izay lazainao dia tsy maintsy hataonay;

And all the multitude answered and said with a loud voice: According to thy word unto us, so be it done.

13 nefa maro ny olona, ary fahavaratra ny andro, ka tsy mahatoetra etỳ ala-trano izahay, sady raharaha tsy vita indray andro na indroa andro aza izao, fa maro izahay no efa nanota tamin’ izany zavatra izany;

But as the people are many, and it is time of rain, and me are not able to stand without, and it is not a work of one day or two, (for we have exceedingly sinned in this matter, )

14 koa aoka ny mpanapaka anay no hitoetra eto ho solon’ ny fiangonana rehetra, ary ny olona rehetra any amin’ ny tanànantsika avy izay efa naka vehivavy hafa firenena ho vadiny no aoka hankatỳ amin’ izay fotoan’ andro hatao, ary hiaraka aminy koa ny loholony isan-tanàna sy ny mpitsara ao, mandra-pahavitan’ izany raharaha izany sy ny hialan’ ny firehetan’ ny fahatezeran’ Andriamanitsika amintsika.

Let rulers be appointed in all the multitude: and in all our cities, let them that have taken strange wives come at the times appointed, and with them the ancients and the judges of every city, until the wrath of our God be turned away from us for this sin.

15 Jonatana, zanak’ i Asahela, sy Jahaza, zanak’ i Tikva, ihany no nanohitra izany; ary Mesolama sy Sabetahy Levita niandany taminy koa.

Then Jonathan the son of Azahel, and Jaasia the son of Thecua were appointed over this, and Mesollam and Sebethai, Levites, helped them:

16 Fa ny olona izay efa niverina avy tamin’ ny fahababoana kosa dia nanaraka izany; ary voatokana Ezra mpisorona sy ny sasany amin’ ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana, araka ny fianakaviany avy, sady samy efa notononina anarana, dia nipetraka handinika Izany raharaha izany tamin’ ny andro voalohany tamin’ ny volana fahafolo.

And the children of the captivity did so. And Esdras the priest, and the men heads of the families in the houses of their fathers, and all by their names, went and sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.

17 Ary nony tonga ny andro voalohany tamin’ ny volana voalohany dia vitany ny raharaha ny amin’ ny lehilahy rehetra Izay efa naka vehivavy hafa firenena ho vadiny.

And they made an end with all the men that had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month.

18 Ary ny hita teo amin’ ny taranaky ny mpisorona izay efa naka vehivavy hafa firenena ho vadiny dia izao: Ny teo amin’ ny taranak’ i Jesoa, zanak’ i Jozadaka, sy ny rahalahiny dia Mahaseia sy Eliezera sy Jariba ary Gedalia;
