Ezra 10
1 Nígbà tí Esra ń gbàdúrà tí ó sì ń jẹ́wọ́, ti ó ń sọkún ti ó sì ń gbárayílẹ̀ níwájú ilé Ọlọ́run, ogunlọ́gọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ọkùnrin, obìnrin àti àwọn ọmọdé pagbo yí i ká. Àwọn náà ń sọkún kíkorò.
Therefore, as Ezra was praying, and imploring, and weeping in this way, and was prostrate before the temple of God, an exceedingly great assembly of men and women and children was gathered to him from Israel. And the people wept with a great weeping.
2 Nígbà náà ni Ṣekaniah ọmọ Jehieli, ọ̀kan lára ìran Elamu, sọ fún Esra pé, “Àwa ti jẹ́ aláìṣòótọ́ sí Ọlọ́run wa nípa fífẹ́ àwọn obìnrin àjèjì láàrín àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà yí wa ká. Ṣùgbọ́n síbẹ̀ náà, ìrètí sì wà fún Israẹli
And Shecaniah, the son of Jehiel, from the sons of Elam, responded and said to Ezra: “We have sinned against our God, and have taken foreign wives from the peoples of the land. And now, if there is repentance within Israel over this,
3 Nísìnsinyìí, ẹ jẹ́ kí a dá májẹ̀mú níwájú Ọlọ́run wa láti lé àwọn obìnrin yìí àti àwọn ọmọ wọn lọ. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìmọ̀ràn Esra olúwa mi àti ti àwọn tí ó bẹ̀rù àṣẹ Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa. Ẹ jẹ́ kí a ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin.
let us strike a pact with the Lord our God, so that we may cast aside all the wives, and those who have been born from them, in accord with the will of the Lord, and of those who fear the precept of the Lord our God. So let it be done, according to the law.
4 Dìde, nítorí, ọ̀rọ̀ tìrẹ ni èyí. Gbogbo wà yóò wá pẹ̀lú rẹ, mú ọkàn le kí o sì ṣe é.”
Rise up. It is for you to discern, and we shall be with you. Be strengthened and act.”
5 Nígbà náà ni Esra dìde, ó sì fi àwọn aṣíwájú àlùfáà àti àwọn ọmọ Lefi àti gbogbo Israẹli sí abẹ́ ìbúra, láti ṣe ohun tí wọ́n dá lábàá. Wọ́n sì búra.
Therefore, Ezra rose up, and he caused the leaders of the priests and the Levites, and all of Israel, to swear that they would act in accord with this word. And they swore it.
6 Nígbà náà ni Esra padà sẹ́yìn kúrò níwájú ilé Ọlọ́run, ó sì lọ sí iyàrá Jehohanani ọmọ Eliaṣibu. Nígbà tí ó wà níbẹ̀, kò jẹ oúnjẹ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sì mu omi, nítorí ó sì ń káàánú fún àìṣòótọ́ àwọn ìgbèkùn.
And Ezra rose up before the house of God, and he went away to the chamber of Jehohanan, the son of Eliashib, and he entered into it. He did not eat bread, and he did not drink water. For he was mourning the transgression of those who had arrived from the captivity.
7 Ìkéde kan jáde lọ jákèjádò Juda àti Jerusalẹmu fún gbogbo àwọn ìgbèkùn láti péjọ sí Jerusalẹmu.
And a voice was sent into Judah and Jerusalem, to all the sons of the transmigration, so that they would gather together in Jerusalem.
8 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó ba kọ̀ láti jáde wá láàrín ọjọ́ mẹ́ta yóò pàdánù ohun ìní rẹ̀ ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú ìpinnu àwọn ìjòyè àti àwọn àgbàgbà, àti pé a ó lé òun fúnra rẹ̀ jáde kúrò láàrín ìpéjọpọ̀ àwọn ìgbèkùn.
And all those who would not arrive within three days, in accord with the counsel of the leaders and the elders, would have all his substance taken away, and he would be cast out of the assembly of the transmigration.
9 Láàrín ọjọ́ mẹ́ta náà, gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Juda àti Benjamini tí péjọ sí Jerusalẹmu. Ní ogúnjọ́ oṣù kẹsànán, gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn jókòó sí ìta gbangba iwájú ilé Ọlọ́run, wọ́n wà nínú ìbànújẹ́ ńlá nítorí ọ̀ràn yìí, àti nítorí òjò púpọ̀ tó tì rọ̀.
And so, all the men of Judah and of Benjamin convened in Jerusalem within three days. This was in the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month. And all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of the sin and the rain.
10 Nígbà náà ni àlùfáà Esra dìde, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ̀yin ti ṣe àìṣòótọ́, ẹ ti fẹ́ obìnrin àjèjì, ẹ ti dá kún ẹ̀bi Israẹli.
And Ezra, the priest, rose up, and he said to them: “You have transgressed, and you have taken foreign wives, so that you added to the offenses of Israel.
11 Nísinsin yìí, ẹ jẹ́wọ́ níwájú Olúwa, Ọlọ́run àwọn baba yín, kí ẹ sì ṣe ìfẹ́ rẹ̀. Ẹ ya ara yín sọ́tọ̀ kúrò láàrín àwọn ènìyàn tí ó yí i yín ká àti láàrín àwọn ìyàwó àjèjì yín.”
And now, make confession to the Lord, the God of your fathers, and do what pleases him, and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from your foreign wives.”
12 Àpéjọpọ̀ ènìyàn náà sì dáhùn lóhùn rara pé, ohun tí ó sọ dára! A gbọdọ̀ ṣe bí o ti wí.
And the entire multitude responded, and they said with a great voice: “In accord with your word to us, so let be it done.
13 Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀pọ̀ ni ó wà ni ibi yìí síbẹ̀ àkókò òjò ni; àwa kò sì lè dúró ní ìta. Yàtọ̀ sí èyí, a kò le è yanjú ọ̀rọ̀ yìí láàrín ọjọ́ kan tàbí ọjọ́ méjì, nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa pọ̀ jọjọ lórí àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
Yet truly, since the people are many, and it is the time of rain, and we cannot endure standing outside, and this is not a task for one or two days, (for certainly we have sinned greatly in this matter, )
14 Jẹ́ kí àwọn ìjòyè wa ṣojú fún gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn, lẹ́yìn náà, jẹ́ kí ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ìlú wa tí ó ti fẹ́ obìnrin àjèjì wá ní àsìkò tí a yàn, pẹ̀lú àwọn àgbàgbà àti àwọn onídàájọ́ ìlú kọ̀ọ̀kan, títí ìbínú gíga Ọlọ́run wa lórí ọ̀rọ̀ yìí yóò fi kúrò ní orí wa.
let leaders be appointed among the entire multitude. And in all our cities, let those who have taken foreign wives arrive at appointed times, and with them the elders from city to city, and the judges, until the wrath of our God has been averted from us over this sin.”
15 Jonatani ọmọ Asaheli àti Jahseiah ọmọ Tikfa nìkan pẹ̀lú àtìlẹ́yìn Meṣullamu àti Ṣabbetai ará Lefi, ni wọ́n tako àbá yìí.
And so Jonathan, the son of Asahel, and Jahzeiah, the son of Tikvah, were appointed over this, and the Levites Meshullam and Shabbethai assisted them.
16 Nígbà náà ni àwọn ìgbèkùn ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n ṣe fi ẹnu kò sí. Àlùfáà Esra yan àwọn ọkùnrin tí wọ́n jẹ́ olórí àwọn ìdílé, ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan láti ìdílé kọ̀ọ̀kan, gbogbo wọn ni a sì mọ̀ pẹ̀lú orúkọ wọn. Ní ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní oṣù kẹwàá, wọ́n jókòó láti ṣe àyẹ̀wò àwọn ẹjọ́ náà,
And the sons of the transmigration did so. And Ezra, the priest, and the men who were the leaders of the families in the houses of their fathers, and all according to their names, went and sat down, on the first day of the tenth month, so that they might examine the matter.
17 ní ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní, oṣù kìn-ín-ní ni wọn parí pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn tí wọ́n fẹ́ àwọn obìnrin àjèjì.
And they made an end with all the men who had taken foreign wives, by the first day of the first month.
18 Lára ìran àwọn àlùfáà àwọn wọ̀nyí fẹ́ àwọn obìnrin àjèjì. Nínú ìran Jeṣua ọmọ Josadaki, àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ: Maaseiah, Elieseri, Jaribi àti Gedaliah.
And there were found among the sons of the priests some who had taken foreign wives: From the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
19 Gbogbo wọn ni wọ́n ṣe ìpinnu láti lé àwọn ìyàwó wọn lọ, wọ́n sì fi àgbò kan láàrín agbo ẹran lélẹ̀ fún ẹ̀bi wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrẹ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀.
