Ezra 10
1 Wakati Ezra akiomba na kutubu, akalia na kujirusha chini mbele ya nyumba ya Mungu, kusanyiko kubwa la wanaume Israel, wanawake na watoto wakakusanyika kwake, kwa kuwa watu walikuwa wakilia sana.
Whiles Ezra prayed thus, and confessed himselfe weeping, and falling downe before the house of God, there assembled vnto him of Israel a very great Congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept with a great lamentation.
2 Shekania mtoto wa Yehieli, mwana wa Elamu akamwambia Ezra, “Tumekuwa sio waaminifu kwa Mungu na tumeoa wanawake wa kigeni kutoka nchi nyingine. Lakini pamoja na hilo, bado kuna tumaini kwa Israel.
Then Shechaniah the sonne of Iehiel one of the sonnes of Elam answered, and sayd to Ezra, We haue trespassed against our God, and haue taken strange wiues of the people of the land, yet nowe there is hope in Israel concerning this.
3 sasa natuweke agano pamoja na Mungu wetu kuwaondoa wanawake wote na watoto wao kulingana na maelekezo ya Bwana, na maelekezo ya wale wanaotetemeka kutokana na amri za Mungu wetu. na hii ifanyike kutokana na sheria.
Now therfore let vs make a couenant with our God, to put away all the wiues (and such as are borne of them) according to the counsell of the Lord, and of those that feare the commandements of our God, and let it be done according to the Lawe.
4 Simama, jambo hili linakuhusu wewe, na sisis tuko pamoja na wewe, Uwe imara na kufanya hili.
Arise: for the matter belogeth vnto thee: we also wil be with thee: be of comfort and do it.
5 Hivyo Ezra akasimama na kufanya makuhani na walawi na waisrael wote wakaahidi kufanya kwa njia hiyo. Hivyo wote wakatoa kiapo.
Then arose Ezra, and caused the chiefe Priestes, the Leuites, and all Israel, to sweare that they would doe according to this worde. So they sware.
6 Ndipo Ezra akainuka kutoka mbele ya nyumba ya Mungu na kwenda kwenye chumba ya Yehohanani mtoto wa Eliashibu, Yeye hakula mkate au kunywa maji. Tangu alipokuwa akiomboleza kuhusiana na wale wenye imani haba waliokuwa uhamishoni.
And Ezra rose vp from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Iohanan the sonne of Eliashib: he went euen thither, but he did eate neither bread, nor drunke water: for he mourned, because of the transgression of them of the captiuitie.
7 Hivyo wakatuma neno katika Yuda na Yerusalem kwa watu wote waliorudi kutoka utumwani kukusanyika Yerusalem.
And they caused a proclamation to goe throughout Iudah and Ierusalem, vnto all them of the captiuitie, that they should assemble themselues vnto Ierusalem.
8 Yeyote ambaye hakuja katika siku tatu kutokana na maelekezo kutoka kwa wakuu na viongozi atachukuliwa mali zote na atatengwa na kusanyiko kuu la watu ambao walikuja kutoka uhamisho.
And whosoeuer woulde not come within three dayes according to the counsel of the Princes and Elders, all his substance should be forfait, and he should be separate from the Congregation of them of the captiuitie.
9 Hivyo watu wote wa Yuda na Benjamini wakakusanyika Yerusalem kwa siku tatu. Ilikuwa ni mwezi wa tisa na siku ya ishirini ya mwezi. watu wote wakasimama mbele ya nyumba ya Mungu na wakatetemeka kwa sababu ya neno na mvua.
Then all the men of Iudah and Beniamin assembled theselues vnto Ierusalem within three dayes, which was the twentieth day of the ninth moneth, and all the people sate in the streete of the house of God, trembling for this matter, and for the raine.
10 Ezra kuhani akasimama na kusema, “Ninyi wenyewe mmefanya uasi, ninyi mmeishi na wanawake wa kigeni na kuongeza makosa ya Israel.
And Ezra the Priest stoode vp, and said vnto them, Ye haue transgressed, and haue taken strange wiues, to increase the trespasse of Israel.
11 Lakini sasa mpeni sifa Yahwe, Mungu wa watangulizi wenu, na mfanye mapenzi yake, mjitenge na watu wa nchi na wanawake wa kigeni.
Now therefore giue praise vnto the Lord God of your fathers, and do his will, and separate your selues from the people of the land, and from the strange wiues.
12 Kusanyiko lote likajibu kwa sauti. “Tutatenda kama ulivyosema,
And all the Congregation answered, and sayd with a loude voyce, So will we do according to thy wordes vnto vs.
13 haijalishi, kuna watu wengi na ni kipindi cha mvua. Hatuna nguvu ya kusimama nje na hii si siku moja au mbili za kufanya kazi, kwa kuwa tumekosea katika jambo hili.
But the people are many, and it is a raynie weather, and we are not able to stande without, neither is it the worke of one day or two: for we are many that haue offended in this thing.
14 Hivyo wakuu wetu wawakilishe kusanyiko lote, iwe kwamba wote walioruhusu wanawake wa kigeni kuishi katika miji yetu waje katika muda uliopangwa na viongozi wa mji na waamuzi wa mji hadi hapo hasira ya Mungu itakapoondoka kutoka kwetu.
Let our rulers stand therefore before all the Congregation, and let all them which haue taken strange wiues in our cities, come at the time appoynted, and with them the Elders of euery citie and the Iudges thereof, til the fierce wrath of our God for this matter turne away from vs.
15 Yonathan mtoto Asaheli na Yazeya mwana wa Tikwa wakapinga hili, Meshulamu na Shabethai mlawi wakawaunga mkono wao.
Then were appoynted Ionathan the sonne of Asah-el, and Iahaziah the sonne of Tikuah ouer this matter, and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Leuites helped them.
16 Hivyo watu waliotoka uhamishoni wakafanya hivi, Ezra kuhani akachagua wanaume, viongozi watamgulizi wa ukoo na nyumba, wao wote kwa majina na wakaliangalia suala hili siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa kumi.
And they of the captiuitie did so, and departed, euen Ezra the Priest, and the men that were chiefe fathers to the familie of their fathers by name, and sate downe in the first day of the tenth moneth to examine the matter.
17 Siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa kwanza wakawa wamemaliza kuchunguza wale wanaume walioishi na wanawake wa kigeni.
And vntill the first day of the first moneth they were finishing the businesse with al the men that had taken strange wiues.
18 Miongoni mwa wana wa kikuhani kuna wale walioishi na wanawake wa kigeni. Miongoni mwa wana wa Yoshua mtoto wa Yosadaki na kaka zake ambao walikuwa Maasela, Eliazeri, na Yaribu na Gedalia.
And of the sonnes of the Priests there were men founde, that had taken strange wiues, to wit, of the sonnes of Ieshua, the sonne of Iozadak, and of his brethren, Maaseiah, Aeliezer, and Iarib and Gedaliah.
19 Hivyo wakaamua kuwaondoa wake zao. kwa kuwa walikuwa na makosa, wakatoa sadaka ya kondoo kwenye mifugo kwa ajili ya makosa yao.
And they gaue their hads, that they would put away their wiues, and they that had trespassed, gaue a ramme for their trespasse.
