U-Ezra 10
1 Kwathi uEzra esakhuleka esavuma, ekhala inyembezi eziwisela phansi phambi kwendlu kaNkulunkulu, kwabuthana kuye ibandla elikhulu kakhulu lamadoda labesifazana labantwana, livela kuIsrayeli, ngoba abantu bakhala inyembezi ngokukhala okukhulu.
Ɛberɛ a Ɛsra bɔɔ mpaeɛ, kaa saa bɔne yi no, na ɔresu de ne ho toto fam wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no anim. Na nnipadɔm a wɔyɛ Israelfoɔ, mmarima, mmaa ne mmɔfra bɛkaa ne ho ne no twaa adwo.
2 UShekaniya indodana kaJehiyeli owamadodana kaElamu wasephendula wathi kuEzra: Thina siphambukile kuNkulunkulu wethu, sathatha abafazi bezizweni abavela ezizweni zelizwe; kodwa khathesi kukhona ithemba koIsrayeli mayelana lalokhu.
Na Yehiel babarima Sekania a ɔyɛ Elam aseni no ka kyerɛɛ Ɛsra sɛ, “Yɛpae mu ka sɛ yɛanni yɛn Onyankopɔn nokorɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛawareware abosonsomfoɔ mmaa a wɔwɔ asase no so. Nanso, yei akyi no, anidasoɔ wɔ hɔ ma Israel.
3 Ngakho-ke asenze isivumelwano loNkulunkulu wethu ukuze sikhuphe bonke abafazi lokuzelwe yibo ngokweseluleko senkosi yami lesabathuthumela emlayweni kaNkulunkulu wethu; kakwenziwe-ke ngokomlayo.
Afei, momma yɛne yɛn Onyankopɔn nyɛ apam, na yɛnnyaa yɛn yerenom abosonsomfoɔ no awadeɛ, na yɛmpam wɔne wɔn mma. Yɛbɛtie afotuo a wo ne afoforɔ a wɔdi yɛn Onyankopɔn mmara no so de ama yɛn. Yɛbɛdi Onyankopɔn mmara no so.
4 Sukuma, ngoba udaba luphezu kwakho, lathi silawe. Qina, wenze.
Ma wo bo nyɛ duru, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ wʼasɛdeɛ sɛ wokyerɛ yɛn ɛkwan a yɛbɛfa so ama biribiara akɔ so tee, na yɛde yɛn ahoɔden nyinaa bɛboa.”
5 Wasesukuma uEzra, wafungisa induna zabapristi, amaLevi, loIsrayeli wonke, ukuthi benze ngokwalelilizwi. Basebefunga.
Na Ɛsra sɔre gyinaeɛ, na ɔhyɛɛ sɛ asɔfoɔ no ntuanofoɔ, Lewifoɔ ne Israelfoɔ nyinaa nka ntam sɛ, wɔbɛyɛ deɛ Sekania aka no. Na wɔn nyinaa kaa ntam a ano yɛ den.
6 UEzra wasesukuma esuka phambi kwendlu kaNkulunkulu, waya endlini kaJehohanani indodana kaEliyashibi; wathi efika lapho kadlanga sinkwa kanathanga manzi, ngoba elilela ububi babathunjiweyo.
Na Ɛsra sɔre firii Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no anim kɔɔ Eliasib babarima Yehohanan dan mu. Ɔdaa hɔ, nanso wannidi annom. Na ɔda so di awerɛhoɔ ɛsiane asutwafoɔ a wɔasane aba no nokorɛ a wɔannie no enti.
7 Basebesenza isimemezelo sedlule koJuda leJerusalema kubo bonke abantwana bokuthunjwa ukuthi babuthane eJerusalema,
Afei, wɔbɔɔ dawuro Yuda ne Yerusalem nyinaa sɛ, asutwafoɔ a wɔasane aba no nyinaa mmra Yerusalem.
8 lokuthi loba ngubani ongafikanga ngensuku ezintathu, ngokweseluleko seziphathamandla labadala, impahla yakhe yonke izadliwa, yena ehlukaniswe lebandla labathunjiweyo.
Na wɔn a wɔamma nnansa ntam no, sɛ ntuanofoɔ ne mpanimfoɔ pɛ a, wɔde wɔn nsa bɛto wɔn agyapadeɛ so, na wɔapam wɔn afiri asutwafoɔ no mu.
9 Wonke amadoda akoJuda loBhenjamini asebuthana eJerusalema ngensuku ezintathu. Kwakuyinyanga yesificamunwemunye ngolwamatshumi amabili lwenyanga. Bonke abantu basebehlala egumeni lendlu kaNkulunkulu beqhaqhazela ngenxa yaloludaba langenxa yezulu elikhulu.
Nnansa ntam no, na Yudafoɔ ne Benyaminfoɔ aboa wɔn ho ano wɔ Yerusalem. Asɛm yi sii wɔ Kislew bosome (bɛyɛ Ɔpɛnima) da a ɛtɔ so dunkron, na wɔn nyinaa tenatenaa adwaberem hɔ wɔ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no anim. Na wɔn ho repopo, ɛfiri sɛ, deɛ ɛdi ɛkan no, na asɛm no mu yɛ duru, na deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu no, na osuo nso retɔ.
10 UEzra umpristi wasukuma wathi kibo: Lina liphambukile lathatha abafazi bezizweni, ukwandisa isiphambeko sikaIsrayeli.
Na ɔsɔfoɔ Ɛsra sɔre gyina kaa sɛ, “Moayɛ bɔne, ɛfiri sɛ, moawareware abosonsomfoɔ mmaa. Enti seesei, yɛwɔ afɔbuo a ano yɛ den mu sene kane deɛ no.
11 Ngakho-ke yenzani uvumo eNkosini uNkulunkulu waboyihlo, lenze intando yayo, lizehlukanise lezizwe zelizwe, lakubafazi bezizweni.
Mompae mu nka mo bɔne nkyerɛ Awurade, mo agyanom Onyankopɔn, na monyɛ nʼapɛdeɛ. Monte mo ho mfiri nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so ne abosonsomfoɔ mmaa no ho.”
12 Ibandla lonke laseliphendula lathi ngelizwi elikhulu: Njengamazwi akho, ngokunjalo kuphezu kwethu ukuthi sikwenze.
Afei badwa no nyinaa maa wɔn nne so kaa sɛ, “Ampa, wʼasɛm no yɛ nokorɛ. Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ deɛ woaka no.
13 Kodwa abantu banengi, njalo kuyisikhathi sezulu elinengi, njalo singeme phandle. Futhi kakusimsebenzi wosuku olulodwa njalo hatshi owezimbili, ngoba sibanengi esiphambukileyo kuloludaba.
Wɔtoaa so sɛ: Yei nyɛ da koro anaa nnanu adwuma, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛn mu bebree na saa bɔne kɛseɛ yi ka yɛn. Saa ɛberɛ yi yɛ osutɔberɛ, enti yɛrentumi ntena ha nkyɛre.
14 Ake zime iziphathamandla zethu zebandla lonke, labo bonke abasemizini yethu abathethe abafazi bezizweni beze ngezikhathi ezimisiweyo, njalo kanye labo abadala bomuzi ngomuzi labahluleli bawo, size sidedise ukuvutha kolaka lukaNkulunkulu wethu mayelana laloludaba.
Momma yɛn mpanimfoɔ nsi yɛn anan nyɛ biribiara. Obiara a ɔware ɔbosonsomni baa no ne ntuanofoɔ ne atemmufoɔ a wɔwɔ kuro yi mu bɛhyia ɛberɛ a yɛahyɛ no sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Onyankopɔn abufuhyeɛ a ɛfa saa asɛm yi ho no bɛfiri yɛn so.”
15 NgoJonathani indodana kaAsaheli loJahazeya indodana kaTikiva kuphela abamelana lalokho; loMeshulamu loShabethayi umLevi babancedisa.
Asahel babarima Yonatan ne Tikwa babarima Yahasia na wɔtiaa saa asɛm yi mu, na Mesulam ne Sabetai a ɔyɛ Lewini no foaa wɔn so.
16 Abantwana bokuthunjwa besebesenza njalo. UEzra umpristi, amadoda, inhloko zaboyise ngendlu yaboyise, labo bonke ngamabizo, basebesehlukaniswa; basebehlala ngosuku lokuqala lwenyanga yetshumi ukuhlola loludaba.
Enti, yei ne nhyehyɛeɛ a wɔfaa so. Ɛsra yii ntuanofoɔ maa wɔsii wɔn mmusua anan, na ɔde edin bi too ntuanoni biara so. Bosome Kislew (bɛyɛ Ɔpɛnimaa) da a ɛtɔ so aduonu nkron no, ntuanofoɔ no tenaa ase hwehwɛɛ asɛm no mu.
17 Basebeqeda lawo wonke amadoda ayethethe abafazi bezizweni kwaze kwaba lusuku lokuqala lwenyanga yokuqala.
Afe a ɛdi so no mu, Abib bosome (bɛyɛ Ɔbɛnem) da a ɛtɔ so aduonu nson no na wɔawie mmarima a wɔawareware abosonsomfoɔ mmaa no nyinaa ho asɛnka.
18 Kwasekutholakala phakathi kwamadodana abapristi ayethethe abafazi bezizweni: Emadodaneni kaJeshuwa indodana kaJozadaki labafowabo: OMahaseya loEliyezeri loJaribi loGedaliya.
