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 Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there assembled unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept very sore.

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 Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, [one] of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing.

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.

Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and 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; for [this] matter [belongeth] unto thee: we also [will be] with thee: be of good 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.

Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they should do according to this word. And they sware.

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.

Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and [when] he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away.

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 they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto 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 elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.

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 Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It [was] the ninth month, on the twentieth [day] of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of [this] matter, and for the great 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 Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass 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.

Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives.

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

Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do.

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 the people [are] many, and [it is] a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither [is this] a work of one day or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.

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 now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them which have taken strange wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter be turned from us.

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

Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah were employed about this [matter: ] and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite 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 Ezra the priest, [with] certain chief of the fathers, after the house of their fathers, and all of them by [their] names, were separated, 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;

And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken strange wives: [namely], of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren; Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.

19 dia nanola-tanana nanaiky hisaotra ny vadiny izy ireo sy handoa ondriny iray avy ho fanati-panonerany.

And they gave their hands that they would put away their wives; and [being] guilty, [they offered] a ram of the flock for their trespass.
