< एज्रा 10 >
1 एज्राले प्रार्थना गर्दा र पाप स्वीकार गर्द तिनी रोए र परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको सामु घोप्टो परे । इस्राएली पुरुष, स्त्री र बालबलिकाको एउटा ठुलो भेला तिनीकहाँ जम्मा भए किनकि मानिसहरू धुरुधुरु रुँदै थिए ।
Now while Ezra prayed, and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there was gathered together unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children; for the people wept very sore.
2 एलामका परिवारका यहीएलका छोरा शकन्याहले एज्रालाई भने, “हामी हाम्रा परमेश्वरप्रति अविश्वासी भएका छौं, र हामीले अन्य देशका विदेशी स्त्रीहरूसित विवाह गरेका छौं । तर यसको बाबजुत पनि इस्राएलको लागि अझै आशा छ ।
And Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra: 'We have broken faith with our God, and have married foreign women of the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.
3 त्यसैले अब प्रभुका निर्देशनहरू र हाम्रा परमेश्वरका आज्ञाहरूदेखि डराउनेहरूका निर्देशनहरूअनुसार सबै स्त्री र तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीलाई पठाउन हाम्रा परमेश्वरसित करार बाँधौं, र यो काम व्यवस्थाअनुसार गरियोस् ।
Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of the LORD, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.
4 उठ्नुहोस्, किनकि यो काम तपाईंले गर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ र हामी तपाईंसित छौं । बलियो हुनुहोस् र यो काम गर्नुहोस् ।”
Arise; for the matter belongeth unto thee, and we are with thee; be of good courage, and do it.'
5 त्यसैले एज्रा उठे, र पुजारीका अधिकारीहरू, लेवीहरू र सारा इस्राएलीहरूलाई यसरी नै प्रतिज्ञा गर्न लगाए । तिनीहरू सबैले गम्भीर शपथ खाए ।
Then arose Ezra, and made the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. So they swore.
6 तब एज्रा परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको सामुबाट उठेर एल्यासीबका छोरा येहोहानानको कोठामा गए । तिनले कुनै रोटी खाएनन्, न त पानी पिए किनकि तिनी निर्वासनबाट फर्केकाहरूको विश्वासत्यागको लागि शोक गर्दै थिए ।
Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib; and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water; for he mourned because of the faithlessness of them of the captivity.
7 तिनीहरूले निर्वासनबाट फर्केर यहूदा र यरूशलेममा आएर बसेका सबै मानिसलाई यरूशलेममा भेला हुन समाचार पठाए ।
And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;
8 अधिकारीहरू र धर्म-गुरुहरूका निर्देशनमुताबिक तिन दिनमा नआउने कुनै पनि व्यक्तिको सारा सम्पत्ति जफत गरिने र निर्वासनबाट फर्केर आएका मानिसहरूको ठुलो सभाबाट बहिष्कार गरिने भयो ।
and that whosoever came not within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of the captivity.
9 त्यसैले यहूदा र बेन्यामीनका सारा मानिस तिन दिनमा यरूशलेममा भेला भए । यो नवौं महिनामा र उक्त महिनाको बाह्रौं दिनमा भएको थियो । सारा मानिस परमेश्वरको मन्दिरको सामुन्ने चोकमा खडा भए, र वचन र वृष्टिको कारणले थरथर काँपे ।
Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within the three days; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the broad place before the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.
10 पुजारी एज्रा खडा भए र भने, “तिमीहरू आफैले अपराध गरेका छौ । इस्राएलको पापलाई बढाउलाई तिमीहरू विदेशी स्त्रीहरूसित बस्यौ ।
And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them: 'Ye have broken faith, and have married foreign women, to increase the guilt of Israel.
11 तर अब आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमप्रभु परमेश्वरलाई प्रशंसा देओ, र उहाँको इच्छाअनुसार गर । यस देशका मानिसहरू र विदेशी स्त्रीहरूबाट अलग रहो ।”
Now therefore make confession unto the LORD, the God of your fathers, and do His pleasure; and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women.'
12 सारा समुदायले ठुलो सोरमा जवाफ दिए, “तपाईंले भन्नुभएझैं हामी गर्नेछौं ।
Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice: 'As thou hast said, so it is for us to do.
13 यद्यपि, मानिसहरू धेरै छन्, र यो पानी पर्ने समय हो । बाहिर खडा हुन हामीसित ताकत छैन, र यो केवल एक वा दुई दिनको काम होइन, किनकि हामीले यस विषयमा घोर अपराध गरेका छौं ।
But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two; for we have greatly transgressed in this matter.
14 त्यसैले हाम्रा अधिकारीहरूले सारा समुदायको प्रतिनिधित्व गरून् । हामीबाट हाम्रा परमेश्वरको क्रोध नहटेसम्म हाम्रा सहरहरूमा विदेशी स्त्रीहरूलाई बस्न दिएकाहरू सहरका सबै धर्म-गुरु र सहरका न्यायकर्ताहरूद्वारा तोकिएको समयमा आऊन् ।”
Let now our princes of all the congregation stand, and let all them that are in our cities that have married foreign women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God be turned from us, as touching this matter.'
15 असाहेलका छोरा जोनाथन र तिक्भाका छोरा याजयाहले यसको विरोध गरे, र मशुल्लाम र लेवी सब्बतैले तिनीहरूलाई समर्थन गरे ।
Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this matter; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
16 यसैले निर्वासनबाट फर्केर आएकाहरूले सुझावअनुसार गरे । पुजारी एज्राले नाउँ दर्ता भएअनुसार आ-आफ्नो परिवारका अगुवाहरूको छनोट गरे, र तिनीहरूले दसौं महिनाको पहिलो दिनसम्म यस विषयमा जाँच गरे ।
And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain heads of fathers' houses, after their fathers' houses, and all of them by their names, were separated; and they sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
17 पहिलो महिनाको पहिलो दिनसम्ममा तिनीहरूले कुन-कुन मानिसहरू विदेशी स्त्रीहरूसित बसेका थिए भनी पत्ता लगाए ।
And they were finished with all the men that had married foreign women by the first day of the first month.
18 विदेशी स्त्रीहरूलाई विवाह गर्ने पुजारी परिवारहरूका यिनै हुन्: योसादाकका छोरा येशूअ र तिनका दाजुभाइका: मासेयाह, एलीएजर, यारीब र गदल्याह थिए ।
And among the sons of the priests there were found that had married foreign women, namely: of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brethren, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
19 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्ना पत्नीहरूलाई त्यागिदिने निधो गरे । तिनीहरू दोषी भएका हुनाले तिनीहरूले दोषबलिको रूपमा आफ्ना बगालबाट एउटा भेडा पनि ल्याए ।
And they gave their hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their guilt.

44 यी सबैले विदेशी स्त्रीहरूलाई विवाह गरेका थिए, र तिनीहरूमध्ये कसैले छोराछोरीसमेत जन्माएका थिए ।
All these had taken foreign wives; and some of them had wives by whom they had children.
