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.
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 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
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 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.
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 Dìde, nítorí, ọ̀rọ̀ tìrẹ ni èyí. Gbogbo wà yóò wá pẹ̀lú rẹ, mú ọkàn le kí o sì ṣe é.”
Arise, for the matter belongs to you and we are with you. Be courageous, and do it.”
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.
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 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.
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 Ìkéde kan jáde lọ jákèjádò Juda àti Jerusalẹmu fún gbogbo àwọn ìgbèkùn láti péjọ sí Jerusalẹmu.
They made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together to 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 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 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.
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 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.
Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, increasing the guilt 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.”
Now therefore make confession to Yahweh, the God of your fathers and do his pleasure. Separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign women.”
12 Àpéjọpọ̀ ènìyàn náà sì dáhùn lóhùn rara pé, ohun tí ó sọ dára! A gbọdọ̀ ṣe bí o ti wí.
Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice, “We must do as you have said concerning us.
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.
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 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.
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 Jonatani ọmọ Asaheli àti Jahseiah ọmọ Tikfa nìkan pẹ̀lú àtìlẹ́yìn Meṣullamu àti Ṣabbetai ará Lefi, ni wọ́n tako àbá yìí.
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 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,
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 ní ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní, oṣù kìn-ín-ní ni wọn parí pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn tí wọ́n fẹ́ àwọn obìnrin àjèjì.
They finished with all the men who had married foreign women by the first day of the first month.
