1 Lapho u-Ezra wayekhuleka njalo evuma izono, ekhala eziwisela phansi phambi kwendlu kaNkulunkulu, ixuku elikhulu labako-Israyeli kubalisa amadoda labafazi labantwana, babuthana kuye. Labo bakhala kabuhlungu.
Pea ʻi he hili ʻae lotu ʻa Esela, pea hili ʻene vete, ʻo tangi mo fakatōmapeʻe ia ʻi he mata fale ʻoe ʻOtua, naʻe haʻu kiate ia mei ʻIsileli ʻae fuʻu kakai tokolahi ʻoe kau tangata mo e kau fefine mo e fānau: he naʻe tangi mamahi ʻaupito ʻae kakai.
2 Yikho uShekhaniya indodana kaJehiyeli, omunye wesizukulwane sika-Elamu, wathi ku-Ezra, “Kasizange sithembeke kuNkulunkulu wethu ngoba sathatha abafazi bezizweni ebantwini esakhelene labo. Kodwa loba kunjalo ithemba lisekhona ngo-Israyeli.
Pea ko Sikania ko e foha ʻo Sehieli, ko e tokotaha ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻIlami, naʻe lea ia ʻo ne pehē kia Esela, “Kuo mau fai hala ki hotau ʻOtua, pea kuo mau maʻu ʻae ngaahi uaifi kehe ʻi he kakai ʻoe fonua: ka ko eni ʻoku ai ʻae ʻamanaki lelei ʻi ʻIsileli ʻoku kau ki he meʻa ni.
3 Manje kasenzeni isivumelwano phambi kukaNkulunkulu wethu ukubalahla bonke labobafazi labantwababo njengeseluleko senkosi yami lalabo abayesabayo imilayo kaNkulunkulu wethu. Kakwenziwe ngendlela yoMthetho.
Pea ko eni ke tau fai ʻae fuakava ki hotau ʻOtua ke mau tukuange ʻae ngaahi uaifi kehe kotoa pē, mo kinautolu kuo fānau ʻiate kinautolu, ʻo fakatatau ki he fakakaukau ʻa hoku ʻeiki, mo kinautolu ʻoku tetetete ki he fekau ʻa hotau ʻOtua; pea tuku ke fai ia ʻo fakatatau mo e fono.
4 Sukuma; indaba le isezandleni zakho. Thina sizakusekela, yikho yiba lesibindi ukwenze.”
Tuʻu hake: he ʻoku kau ʻae meʻa ni kiate koe: pea ke loto mālohi, pea fai ia.”
5 Ngakho u-Ezra waphakama wafungisa bonke abakhokheli babaphristi labaLevi lo-Israyeli wonke ukwenza lokho okwakumisiwe. Basenza lesosifungo.
Pea naʻe tuʻu ai ʻa Esela, pea fakafuakava ʻe ia ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e kau Livai, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē koeʻuhi ke nau fai ʻo fakatatau ki he lea ni. Pea naʻa nau fuakava.
6 U-Ezra wasesuka endlini kaNkulunkulu waya endlini kaJehohanani indodana ka-Eliyashibi. Elapho kadlanga lutho njalo kazange anathe manzi, ngoba waqhubeka elilela ukungathembeki kwezithunjwa.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Esela mei he mata fale ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ne ʻalu ki he fale ʻo Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Iliasipi: pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki ai, naʻe ʻikai te ne kai ha mā, pe inu ha vai: he naʻe tangi pe ia ko e meʻa ʻi he angahala ʻanautolu ʻaia naʻe fetuku ʻo ʻave pōpula.
7 Kwasekukhutshwa isimemezelo kulolonke elakoJuda kanye leJerusalema ukuthi zonke izithunjwa kaziqoqane eJerusalema.
Pea naʻa nau fanongonongo ʻae fono ʻi Siuta kotoa pē mo Selūsalema ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻoe fakapōpula, koeʻuhi ke nau fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻi Selūsalema.
8 Ingqe ngubani ongafikanga phakathi kwensuku ezintathu wayezathathelwa yonke impahla alayo, kulandelwa isinqumo sezinduna labadala, kuthi yena ngokwakhe axotshwe emphakathini walabo ababethunjiwe.
Pea ʻilonga ʻaia ʻe ʻikai haʻu ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu, ʻo fakatatau mo e fakakaukau ʻae houʻeiki mo e kau mātuʻa, ʻe faʻoa ʻene meʻa kotoa pē, pea ʻe vaheʻi ia mei he fakataha ʻokinautolu naʻe fetuku ki he mamaʻo.
9 Phakathi kwalezonsuku ezintathu wonke amadoda akoJuda lakoBhenjamini ayesebuthene eJerusalema. Kwathi ngelanga lamatshumi amabili lenyanga yesificamunye bonke abantu babehlezi esigcawini phambi kwendlu kaNkulunkulu, bekhathazekile ngombuthano lowo njalo begxanxwa lizulu elalisina.
Pea naʻe toki fakakātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu ki Selūsalema ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo Siuta mo Penisimani, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu. Ko hono hiva ia ʻoe māhina, ʻi hono ʻaho ʻe uofulu ʻoe māhina; pea naʻe nofo ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻi he hala lahi ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua, pea tetetete koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni, pea koeʻuhi ko e ʻuha lahi.
10 Kwathi u-Ezra umphristi wasukuma wathi kubo, “Kalithembekanga; lisuke lathatha abafazi bezizweni, lengeza icala lika-Israyeli.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Esela ko e taulaʻeiki, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kuo mou fai talangataʻa; pea kuo mou maʻu ʻae ngaahi uaifi kehe, ke fakalahi ki he hala ʻa ʻIsileli.
11 Manje-ke vumani izono zenu kuThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho benu, lenze intando yakhe. Zahlukaniseni kulababantu elakhelene labo lasebafazini benu abezizwe.”
Pea ko eni mou fai ʻae vete kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, pea [mou ]fai ki hono finangalo: pea fakamavae ʻakimoutolu mei he kakai ʻoe fonua, pea mei homou ngaahi uaifi kehe.”
12 Inkundla yonke yaphendula ngelizwi elikhulu yathi: “Uqondile! Kumele senze njengoba usitsho.
Pea naʻe lea ai ʻae kakai kotoa pē naʻe fakataha ʻo pehē ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, “Hangē ko ia kuo ke tala, ʻoku totonu ke mau fai.
13 Kodwa kulabantu abanengi lapha futhi lesi yisikhathi sezulu; ngakho ngeke sime lapha phandle. Futhi indaba le ingazake iphethwe ngosuku olulodwa kumbe ezimbili, ngoba sonile kakhulu ngento le.
Ka ʻoku tokolahi ʻae kakai, pea ko e ʻaho eni ʻoe ʻuha lahi, pea ʻoku ʻikai te mau faʻa fai ke tuʻu ʻi tuaʻā, pea ʻoku ʻikai ko e ngāue eni ki he ʻaho pe taha pe ua: he ʻoku mau tokolahi kuo fai hala ʻi he meʻa ni.
14 Akuthi izinduna zethu zisimele thina sonke. Akuthi wonkemuntu emizini yethu othethe umfazi wabezizwe eze ngesikhathi esimisiweyo, eze labadala kanye labehluleli balowomuzi, luze ludede kithi ulaka olwesabekayo lukaNkulunkulu wethu.”
Pea ko eni ke tuʻu hake homau kau pule ʻoe fakataha kotoa pē, pea ke haʻu ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo nau maʻu ʻae ngaahi uaifi kehe, ʻi hotau ngaahi kolo, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻe kotofa, pea ke haʻu mo kinautolu ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻoe kolo kotoa pē, mo e kau fakamaau ʻi ai, koeʻuhi ke fakafoki ʻae houhau lahi ʻo hotau ʻOtua ʻi he meʻa ni meiate kimautolu.”
15 Kwaba nguJonathani kuphela, indodana ka-Asaheli loJahizeya indodana kaThikhiva, besekelwa nguMeshulami loShabhethayi umLevi abakuphikisayo lokhu.
Ko Sonatani pe ko e foha ʻo ʻAsaeli mo Sehasia ko e foha ʻo Tikiva naʻe fakakau ʻakinaua ʻi he meʻa ni: pea naʻe tokoni ʻakinaua ʻe Mesulami, mo Sapitei ko e Livai.
16 Ngakho izithunjwa zenza njengokwakumisiwe. U-Ezra umphristi wakhetha amadoda ayeyizinhloko zezimuli, oyedwa emulini, bonke baqanjwa ngamabizo. Ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga yetshumi bahlala phansi bawahlolisisa lawomacala,
Pea naʻe fai pehē pe ʻe he fānau ʻae kau pōpula. Pea naʻe nofo hifo ʻa Esela ko e taulaʻeiki, mo e niʻihi ʻoe kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he kau mātuʻa, ʻo fakatatau ki he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe vahevahe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻi honau hingoa, ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe māhina ke fakamaauʻi ʻae meʻa ni.
17 kwathi ngelanga lokuqala ngenyanga yokuqala baqeda ukuphatha indaba yamadoda ayethethe abafazi bezizweni.
Pea naʻa nau fai ʻo ʻosi ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe ʻuluaki māhina ki he kau tangata kotoa pē naʻa nau maʻu ʻae uaifi kehe.

19 (Bonke baphakamisa izandla zabo bafunga ukubalahla abafazi babo, kwathi ngenxa yecala labo ngulowo wakhupha inqama emhlambini ukuba ngumnikelo wesono.)
Pea naʻa nau foaki honau nima ke nau tukuange honau ngaahi uaifi; pea ʻi heʻenau halaia, naʻa nau ʻatu ʻae sipitangata mei he fanga sipi ʻi heʻenau angahala.
