1And while Ezra prayed, and made confession, weeping and falling down before the house of God, there were gathered to him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children; for the people wept very much.
1 Za Ezra goono ga adduwa te ka taaley ci, a goono ga hẽ ka gande biri Irikoy Fuwo me gaa, kala jama margu, alboro nda wayboro, zanka nda arkusu, Israyla izey waney. I margu gumo nda cimi a do, zama jama goono ga hẽ da hẽeni konno gumo.
2And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Ezra, We have acted unfaithfully toward our God, and have taken foreign wives of the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.
2 Sekaniya, Yehiyel izo mo, Elam izey ra afo, a tu ka ne Ezra se: «Iri na taali te iri Irikoyo se ka mebarawey wayboroyaŋ hiiji, kaŋ ga ti laabo wo borey dumiyaŋ, amma kulu nda yaadin Israyla gonda beeje muraadu woone ra.
3And now 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 [my] lord, and of those that tremble at the commandments of our God; and let it be done according to the law.
3 Sohõ kal iri ma alkawli sambu iri Irikoyo do, ka ne iri ga fay da wandey din kulu, ngey nda izey kaŋ yaŋ iri hay i gaa, iri jine bora da borey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga jijiri nd'iri Irikoyo lordo saawara boŋ. I ma goy mo asariya boŋ.
4Arise, for this matter is incumbent on thee, and we will be with thee: be of good courage, and do [it].
4 Tun ka kay, zama sanno wo ni wane no, iri mo go ni banda. Ma te bine-gaabi gumo ka woodin te mo.»
5Then Ezra arose, and made the chiefs of the priests, of the Levites, and of all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. And they swore.
5 Kala Ezra tun ka kay. A na alfaga beerey da Lawi borey da Israyla kulu daŋ zeyaŋ ka ne i ga goy sanni woodin boŋ. I binde ze.
6And Ezra arose from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib; and when he came thither, he ate no bread and drank no water; for he mourned because of the unfaithfulness of them that had been carried away.
6 Waato din gaa no Ezra tun ka kay ka fun Irikoy Fuwo jine, ka koy ka furo Yehohanan Eliyasib izo fuwo ra. Kaŋ a kaa noodin mo, a mana ŋwaari ŋwa, a mana hari haŋ, zama a gonda bine saray tamtaray izey taalo sabbay se.
7And they made proclamation in Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;
7 I fe Yahuda nda Urusalima kulu ra, da tamtaray izey kulu se, ka ne i ma margu Urusalima ra.
8and that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be confiscated, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.
8 Boro kulu mo kaŋ mana kaa, hala jirbi hinzanta, laabukoyey da arkusey saaware ka ne i g'a mayray haro ta, i ga bora bumbo mo waasu ka kaa tamtaray izey jama ra.
9Then were all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered together at Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month; and all the people sat in the open space of the house of God, trembling because of the matter, and because of the pouring rain.
9 Kala Yahuda nda Benyamin alborey kulu margu Urusalima ra hala jirbi hinza din ga to; handu yagganta nooya, hando jirbi warankanta hane. Jama binde goro batama bambata fo ra Irikoy windo jine. I goono ga jijiri sanno din sabbay se, da beene hari boobo kaŋ goono ga te mo se.
10And Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, Ye have acted unfaithfully, and have taken foreign wives, to increase the trespass of Israel.
10 Kala Alfa Ezra tun ka kay ka ne i se: «Araŋ na taali te. Araŋ na mebarawey wayboroyaŋ hiiji. Yaadin gaa araŋ na Israyla taalo tonton nooya.
11And now make confession to Jehovah the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure, and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign wives.
11 Sohõ binde, kal araŋ m'araŋ taalo ci Rabbi araŋ kaayey Irikoyo se. Araŋ m'a miila gana: araŋ m'araŋ boŋ fay da laabo borey din, da mebarawey wayborey mo.»
12And the whole congregation answered and said with a loud voice, Yes, it is for us to do according to thy words.
12 Jama kulu tu nda jinde beeri ka ne: «Haŋ kaŋ ni ci iri boŋ, daahir kal iri ma te yaadin.
13But the people are many, and it is a time of pouring rain, and it is not possible to stand without: neither is this a work for one day or two; for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.
13 Amma jama ga baa gumo, beene hari boobo waate mo no. Iri si hin ka kay taray. Woone mo manti jirbi fo wala ihinka goy no, zama iri na taali bambata te muraadu wo ra.
14Let now our princes, while this matter is going on, stand for all the congregation, and let all those that have taken foreign wives in our cities come at the appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce anger of our God be turned from us.
14 Sohõ, wa naŋ i m'iri laabukoyey daŋ i ma kay jama kulu se. Boro kulu kaŋ go iri birney ra mo, kaŋ na mebarawey wayboro hiiji, i ma kaa alwaati kaŋ i ga kosu ra, ngey nda birney kulu arkusey, da ciitikoy mo, kal a ma to alwaati kaŋ Irikoy futay konno wo ga bare ka fay d'iri, muraadu wo sabbay se.»
15Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
15 Yonata Asahel izo da Yahaziya Tikba izo, ngey hinne no ka kakaw sanno din boŋ. Mesullam da Sabbetal, Lawi boroyaŋ, ngey mo na borey din gaa.
16And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest [and] certain of the chief fathers were separated according to their fathers' houses, and all of them [expressed] by name; and they sat down on the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
16 Tamtaray izey mo na woodin te. Alfa Ezra na kaayey windi arkusu fooyaŋ suuban, i afo kulu nga baabo windo boŋ, i kulu mo ngey maayey boŋ. I binde goro handu wayanta ra, hando zaari sintina, zama ngey ma muraado din fintalyaŋ te.
17And they ended with all the men that had taken foreign wives by the first day of the first month.
17 Hala handu sintina zaari sintina hando ra, kulu i na alborey kulu sanni ban, kaŋ yaŋ na mebarawey wayborey hiiji.
18And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken foreign wives, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren: Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
18 Alfagey izey ra mo i na boro fooyaŋ gar kaŋ yaŋ na mebarawey wayboroyaŋ hiiji, ngey neeya: Yozadak izo Yesuwa izey d'a nya-izey ra: Maaseya, da Eliyezar, da Yarib, da Gedaliya.
19And they gave their hand to send away their wives; and they offered a ram of the flock, as trespass-offering for their guilt.
19 I na zeyaŋ te ka ne ngey ga ngey wandey fay, zama i gonda taali ngey boŋ gaa. I na feeji fo no sargay feeji kuru ra ngey taalo sabbay se.
