Etera 10
1 Na, I a Etera e inoi ana, e whaki hara ana, me te tangi, me te rutu i a ia ki mua i te whare o te Atua, na, nui atu te hui i rupeke ki a ia i roto i a Iharaira, nga tane, nga wahine, nga tamariki: nui atu hoki te tangi i tangi ai te iwi.
And at Ezra's praying, and at his making confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there have been gathered unto him out of Israel an assembly very great — men and women and children — for the people have wept, multiplying weeping.
2 Na ka oho a Hekania tama a Tehiere, ko tetahi nei ia o nga tama a Erama, ka mea ki a Etera, Kua he matou ki to tatou Atua, kua tango i nga wahine ke, i a nga iwi o te whenua. Tenei ano ia he mea e marama ai nga whakaaro o Iharaira ki tenei mea.
And Shechaniah son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, answereth and saith to Ezra, 'We — we have trespassed against our God, and we settle strange women of the peoples of the land; and now there is hope for Israel concerning this,
3 Na kia whakaritea he kawenata ki to tatou Atua, kia whakarerea aua wahine katoa me a ratou tamariki, kia rite ai ki te whakaaro i whakatakotoria e toku ariki, e te hunga ano e wehi ana i te whakahau a to tatou Atua: kia rite ano te meatanga ki ta te ture.
and now, let us make a covenant with our God, to cause all the women to go out, and that which is born of them, by the counsel of the Lord, and of those trembling at the command of our God, and according to law it is done;
4 Whakatika, mau hoki te mahi; a ko matou hei hoa mou: kia uaua, meatia.
rise, for on thee [is] the matter, and we [are] with thee; be strong, and do.'
5 Katahi ka whakatika a Etera, a whakaoatitia ana e ia nga rangatira o nga tohunga, o nga Riwaiti, o Iharaira Katoa, kia meatia tenei mea e ratou. A oati ana ratou.
And Ezra riseth, and causeth the heads of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear to do according to this word — and they swear.
6 Katahi a Etera ka whakatika i mua i te whare o te Atua, a haere ana ki te ruma o Iehohanana tama a Eriahipi. A, no tona taenga ki reira, kihai ia i kai taro, kihai i inu wai; e pouri ana hoki ki te he o te hunga i whakaraua.
And Ezra riseth from before the house of God, and goeth unto the chamber of Jehohanan son of Eliashib; yea, he goeth there, bread he hath not eaten, and water he hath not drunk, for he is mourning because of the trespass of the removal.
7 Na ka karanga nui, puta noa i Hura, i Hiruharama, ki nga tama katoa o te whakarau, kia huihui ki Hiruharama.
And they cause a voice to pass over into Judah and Jerusalem, to all sons of the removal, to be gathered to Jerusalem,
8 Na, ko te tangata e kore e tae mai i nga ra e toru, i ta nga rangatira ratou ko nga kaumatua i whakaaro ai, ka murua putia ona rawa katoa, a ka motuhia ia i roto i te whakaminenga o nga whakarau.
and every one who cometh not in by the third day, according to the counsel of the heads and of the elders, all his substance is devoted, and himself separated from the assembly of the removal.
9 Na ko te huihuinga mai o nga tangata katoa o Hura, o Pineamine ki Hiruharama i roto i aua ra e toru; ko te iwa tenei o nga marama, i te rua tekau o te marama. Na noho ana te iwi katoa i te marae o te whare o te Atua; wiri ana ratou, he whakaaro k i tenei mea, he nui ano hoki te ua.
And gathered are all the men of Judah and Benjamin to Jerusalem by the third day, it [is] the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month, and all the people sit in the broad place of the house of God, trembling on account of the matter and of the showers.
10 Na ka whakatika a Etera tohunga, ka mea ki a ratou, Kua he koutou, kua marenatia ki nga wahine ke, na kua neke ake te he o Iharaira.
And Ezra the priest riseth, and saith unto them, 'Ye — ye have trespassed, and ye settle strange women, to add to the guilt of Israel;
11 Na whakina atu nga he ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o o koutou matua, meatia hoki tana i pai ai; motuhia mai hoki koutou i roto i nga iwi o te whenua, i nga wahine ke hoki.
and, now, make confession to Jehovah, God of your fathers, and do His good pleasure, and be separated from the peoples of the land, and from the strange women.'
12 Na ka whakahokia e te iwi katoa, he nui o ratou reo ki te mea, Ka rite ki tau kupu ta matou e mea ai.
And all the assembly answer and say [with] a great voice, 'Right; according to thy word — on us to do;
13 Otiia he tokomaha te iwi, he wa ua nui hoki tenei; e kore ano matou e kaha ki te tu i waho, ehara hoki tenei i te mahi mo te ra kotahi, mo nga ra e rua ranei: he nui rawa hoki to matou he i tenei mea.
but the people [are] many, and [it is] the time of showers, and there is no power to stand without, and the work [is] not for one day, nor for two, for we have multiplied to transgress in this thing.
14 Na me whakarite o tatou rangatira mo te huihui katoa, a me haere mai i nga wa e whakaritea te hunga katoa kua marena ki nga wahine ke i o tatou pa, ratou ko nga kaumatua o tenei pa, o tenei pa, me nga kaiwhakawa o reira, kia tahuri atu ra ano i a tatou te riri kaha o to tatou Atua, a kia tutuki ra ano tenei mea.
'Let, we pray thee, our heads of all the assembly stand, and all who [are] in our cities, who have settled strange wives, do come in at the times appointed, and with them the elders of city and city, and its judges, till the turning back of the fury of the wrath of our God from us, for this thing.'
15 Ko Honatana anake tama a Atahere raua ko Tahatia tama a Tikiwa i tu atu ki tenei mea; a ko o raua hoa ko Mehurama raua ko Hapetai Riwaiti.
Only Jonathan son of Asahel, and Jahaziah son of Tikvah, stood against this, and Meshullam, and Shabbethai the Levite, helped them.
16 Na i pena hoki nga tama o te whakarau. A ka wehea a Etera tohunga me etahi upoko o nga whare o nga matua no tenei whare, no tenei whare, o o ratou matua, he mea karanga katoa o ratou ingoa; a noho ana ratou i te ra tuatahi o te tekau o nga maram a hei rapu i te tikanga o tenei mea.
And the sons of the removal do so, and Ezra the priest, [and] men, heads of the fathers, for the house of their fathers, are separated, even all of them by name, and they sit on the first day of the tenth month, to examine the matter;
17 Poto rawa ake nga tangata katoa i marena ki nga wahine ke, ko te ra tuatahi o te tuatahi o nga marama.
and they finish with all the men who have settled strange women unto the first day of the first month.
18 Na kua mau etahi o nga tama a nga tohunga he mea marena ki nga wahine ke; ara no nga tama a Hehua tama a Iohereke ratou ko ona teina, ko Maaheia, ko Erietere, ko Iaripi, ko Keraria.
And there are found of the sons of the priests that have settled strange women: of the sons of Jeshua son of Jozadak, and his brethren, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah;
19 Na ka tukua mai o ratou ringa, mo a ratou wahine kia whakarerea; a, ka he nei ratou, ka tapaea he hipi toa o te kahui mo to ratou he.
and they give their hand to send out their wives, and, being guilty, a ram of the flock, for their guilt.
