< 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.
As Ezra prayed and confessed, he wept and threw himself down before God's house. A very great assembly of Israelite men, women, and children gathered to him, for the people were weeping very greatly.
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.
Shekaniah son of Jehiel of the descendants of Elam said to Ezra, “We have been unfaithful to our God and have married foreign women from the people of the other lands. But in spite of this, there is still hope for Israel.
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.
So now let us make a covenant with our God to send out all the women and their children according to the Lord's instructions and the instructions of those who tremble at the commandments 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 thing is for you to carry out, and we are with you. Be strong and do this.”
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 Ezra rose and made the priestly officials, the Levites, and all of Israel promise to act in this way. So they all took a solemn oath.
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 from before God's house and went to the rooms of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. He did not eat any bread or drink any water, since he was mourning concerning the faithlessness of those who had been in 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;
So they sent word in Judah and Jerusalem to all the people back from exile to assemble in 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.
Anyone who did not come in three days according to the instructions from the officials and elders forfeited all of his possessions and would be excluded from the great assembly of the people who had come back from exile.
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.
So all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled in Jerusalem in three days. It was the ninth month and the twentieth day of the month. All the people stood in the square before God's house and trembled because of the word 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.
Ezra the priest arose and said, “You yourselves have committed treason. You lived with foreign women so as to increase Israel's guilt.
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.
But now give praise to Yahweh, your ancestors' God, and do his will. Separate from the people of the land and from the foreign women.”
12 Dia namaly ny fiangonana rehetra ka niredona mafy hoe: Izay lazainao dia tsy maintsy hataonay;
All the assembly answered in a loud voice, “We will do as you have said.
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;
However, there are many people, and it is the rainy season. We have no strength to stand outside, and this is not only one or two days of work, since we have greatly transgressed 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.
So let our officials represent all the assembly. Let all who have allowed foreign women to live in our cities come at the time that will be fixed with the city elders and the city judges until the raging wrath of our God goes away from us.”
15 Jonatana, zanak’ i Asahela, sy Jahaza, zanak’ i Tikva, ihany no nanohitra izany; ary Mesolama sy Sabetahy Levita niandany taminy koa.
Jonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah opposed this, and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supported 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.
So the people who returned from exile did this. Ezra the priest selected men, the leaders in their ancestors' clans and houses—all of them by name, and they looked into the matter on the first day of the tenth month.
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.
By the first day of the first month they had finished discovering which men had lived with foreign women.
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;
Among the descendants of the priests there were those who had lived with foreign women. Among the descendants of Jeshua son of Jozadak and his brothers there were Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah.
19 dia nanola-tanana nanaiky hisaotra ny vadiny izy ireo sy handoa ondriny iray avy ho fanati-panonerany.
So they determined to send their wives away. Since they were guilty, they offered a ram from the flock for their guilt.
