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 'Ezra prayed, and when he made his confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there gathered themselves unto him out of Israel a very large assembly of men and women and children; for the people wept exceedingly much.
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.
Thereupon commenced Shechanyah the son of Jechiel, of the sons of 'Elam, and said unto 'Ezra, we have indeed trespassed against our God, and have brought home strange wives of the nations of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing.
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.
And now let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the direction of the Lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God: and let it be done according to the law.
4 Miongaha, ama’o o raha zao vaho mpiama’o zahay; mihafatrara le anò.
Arise; for this matter is obligatory upon thee; and we will be with thee: be strong, 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.
Then arose 'Ezra, and caused the princes of the priests, the Levites, and of all Israel, to swear to 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.
Then arose 'Ezra from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jochanan the son of Elyashib; and he went thither without having eaten bread, or having drunk water; for he was mourning because of the trespass of the exiles.
7 Aa le nanitsike Iehoda naho Ierosalaime iereo nanao koim-bohitse amo anam-pandrohizañe iabio hifanontoñe e Ierosalaime ao;
And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the exile, to gather themselves together at 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 should not come within three days, according to the resolve of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be devoted, and himself separated from the congregation of the exiles.
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 were all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered together unto Jerusalem within three days: it was in the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the open place before the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and by reason of the showers of 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 'Ezra the priest rose up, and said unto them, Ye have acted unfaithfully, and have brought home strange wives, to increase yet more the guiltiness 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.
Now therefore make confession unto the Lord the God of your fathers, and do his will; and separate yourselves from the nations of the earth, and from the strange wives.
12 Le nanoiñe am-peo mafe i fivoriy, ami’ty hoe: Tsy mete tsy hanoe’ay i nitaroñe’oy.
Then answered all the assembly and said with a loud voice, So be it: according to thy word it is our duty to do.
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 the people are many, and it is the rainy season, and we have not the strength to remain in the street, nor is this a work for one day or for two days; for we are many that have transgressed 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 however our princes stand forward for all the congregation, and let all those in our cities who have brought home strange wives come at appointed times, and with them the elders of each and every city, and its judges, until the fierce wrath of our God be turned away from us for this whole matter.
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.
Only Jonathan the son of 'Assahel and Jachzeyah the son of Thikvah withstood this [proposal]: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite assisted 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 exile did so. And then were set apart 'Ezra the priest, [and] certain chiefs of the divisions, for their family divisions, and all of them [designated] by their names; and they sat down on 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, with the men that had brought home strange wives, not before 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 brought home strange wives, namely, of the sons of Jeshua' the son of Jozadak, and his brethren: Ma'asseyah, and Eli'ezer, and Jarib, and Gedalyah.
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 hand to put away their wives, and being guilty, [they offered] a ram of the flock for their trespass.
