< 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 God’s house, there was gathered together to him out of Israel a very great assembly of men and women and children; for the people wept very bitterly.
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 ।
Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered Ezra, “We have trespassed against 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’s make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives and those who are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God. 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 belongs to you and we are with you. Be courageous, 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 Ezra arose, 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 God’s house, and went into the room of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib. When he came there, he didn’t eat bread or drink water, for he mourned because of the trespass of the exiles.
7 तिनीहरूले निर्वासनबाट फर्केर यहूदा र यरूशलेममा आएर बसेका सबै मानिसलाई यरूशलेममा भेला हुन समाचार पठाए ।
They made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together to 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 whoever didn’t come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his possessions should be forfeited, and he himself separated from the assembly 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 to Jerusalem within the three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the wide place in front of God’s house, trembling because of this matter, and because of the great rain.
10 पुजारी एज्रा खडा भए र भने, “तिमीहरू आफैले अपराध गरेका छौ । इस्राएलको पापलाई बढाउलाई तिमीहरू विदेशी स्‍त्रीहरूसित बस्यौ ।
Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, increasing 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 to the LORD, the God of your fathers and do his pleasure. 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 assembly answered with a loud voice, “We must do as you have said concerning us.
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 outside. This is not 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 ।”
Now let our princes be appointed for all the assembly, and let all those who are in our cities who have married foreign women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city and its judges, until the fierce wrath of our God is turned from us, until this matter is resolved.”
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; 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 ।
The children of the captivity did so. Ezra the priest, with certain heads of fathers’ households, after their fathers’ houses, and all of them by their names, were set apart; 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 ।
They finished with all the men who 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 ।
Among the sons of the priests there were found who had married foreign women: of the sons of Yeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers: Maaseiah, Eliezer, 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 ।
They gave their hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their guilt.
