Ezra 10
1 Ie nihalaly naho nisoloho, nangololoike naho nidrakadrakak’ añ’atrefan’ anjomban’ Añahare eo t’i Ezra, le nifanontoñe ama’e boak’ Israele ao ty valobohò-bey, lahilahy naho rakemba naho ajaja, songa nangoihoy ty rovetse.
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 Aa le nanoiñe t’i Sekanaià ana’ Iehiele, amo ana’ i Elameo, ty hoe amy Ezra: Fa nampipitso-patokisañe aman’ Añahare’ay zahay, ie nañenga ampela ankafankafa am’ ondati’ ty tane toio; fe amam-pitamañe t’Israele henane zao ndra te eo izay.
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 Antao arè hifañina aman’ Añaharen-tikañe hanasa valy rekets’ o nisamak’ ama’eo, ty amy nañereta’ i Talè naho ty amo minevenevetse amy lilin’ Añaharen-tikañeio; le ehe t’ie hanoeñe an-Kàke.
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 Miongaha, ama’o o raha zao vaho mpiama’o zahay; mihafatrara le anò.
Arise, it is thy part to give orders, and we will be with thee: take courage, and do it.
5 Niongak’ amy zao t’i Ezra, nampifanta o mpiaolom-pisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio naho Israele iaby, hanoa’ iereo i nisaontsieñey. Le nifanta iereo.
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 Aa le niavotse boak’ añatrefan’ Anjomban’ Añahare eo t’i Ezra, nizilik’ añ’ efe’ Iehohanane ana’ i Eliasibe ao; tsy nikama rano ndra mahakama t’ie tao, ami’ty fandalà’e i tsy fatokisa’ o tam-pandrohizañeo.
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 Aa le nanitsike Iehoda naho Ierosalaime iereo nanao koim-bohitse amo anam-pandrohizañe iabio hifanontoñe e Ierosalaime ao;
And proclamation was made in Juda and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should assemble together into Jerusalem.
8 le ze tsy nitsatoke eo añate’ ty telo andro, ty amy fañereta’ o roandriañeo naho o mpiaoloo, le hafahañe ama’e iaby o vara’eo, le haitoañe amy fivorin-tam-pandrohizañey.
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 Aa le nifanontoñe e Ierosalaime ao añate’ i telo andro rezay ze hene lahilahi’ Iehoda naho i Beniamine, amy volam-paha-sivey, amy andro faha-roapolo’ i volañeiy; le songa niambesatse amy tameañe aolo’ i anjomban’ Añahareiy ondatio, sindre nititititike ty amy raha zay naho amy oram-bey.
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 Niongak’ amy zao t’i Ezra mpitoky, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Fa nampipitso-patokisañe nahareo naho fa nañenga ampela ambahiny, hampitoabotse ty hakeo’ Israele.
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 Aa le misolohoa am’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ areo, le ano ty satrin’ arofo’e; vaho miavaha am’ ondati’ i taneio naho amo rakemba ambahinio.
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 Le nanoiñe am-peo mafe i fivoriy, ami’ty hoe: Tsy mete tsy hanoe’ay i nitaroñe’oy.
And all the multitude answered and said with a loud voice: According to thy word unto us, so be it done.
13 Fe maro ondatio, le oram-bey ty eo henaneo naho tsy mahafijohañe an-tamean-jahay vaho tsy fitoloñan’ andro roe ndra raike o raha zao; amy te bey ty tahi’ay amy rahay.
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 Ee te hiongak’ amy zao o mpiaolom-balobohòkeo, songa hiheo mb’ atoy ami’ ty andro tinendre, o an-drova’ay nañenga ampela ambahinio vaho sindre hindrezam-piaolo naho mpizaka boak’ amy rova’ey, ampara’ te mitolike ty haviñeran’ Añaharen-tika miforoforo aman-tikañe, ty amo raha zao.
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 Ionatane, ana’ i Asahele naho Iakzeià ana’ i Tikvà avao ty nandietse i rahay le nañolotse iareo t’i Mesolame naho i Sabetày, nte-Levy.
Then Jonathan the son of Azahel, and Jaasia the son of Thecua were appointed over this, and Mesollam and Sebethai, Levites, helped them:
16 Fe nanoe’ o anam-pandrohizañeo izay. Le nivike t’i Ezra, mpisoroñe, reketse ty mpiaolo ila’ o anjomban-droae’eo, sindre anjomban-droae, songa ondaty amy tahina’ey, niambesatse amy andro valoha’ i volam-paha-foloy hitsikarake i rahay.
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 Le nitsitsihe’ iareo ondaty nañenga rakemba ambahinio ampara’ ty andro valoha’ i volam-baloha’ey.
And they made an end with all the men that had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month.
18 Le o nizoeñe te nanambaly ampela hafa amo anam-pisoroñeoo: amo ana’ Iesoa, o ana’ Iozadakeo, le amo rahalahi’eo: i Maaseià naho i Eliezere naho Iaribe vaho i Gedalià,
And there were found among the sons of the priests that had taken strange wives: Of the sons of Josue the son of Josedec, and his brethren, Maasia, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Godolia.
19 songa nanolo-pitàñe hifanarake amo vali’eo; aa ty amy tahi’ iareoy le songa nañefa añondrilahy boak’ an-dia-raik’ ao, ho amy hakeo’ey.
And they gave their hands to put away their wives, and to offer for their offence a ram of the flock.
