¹Huchia Ezra kapa Pathian in maia leisatnaa a kizata, a thuma, thupha a tawi laiin, Israel akipan pasal leh numei leh naupang tampi kikhawmte a kiangah hongkikaikhawm ua: mite lah a nak kah mahmah ngal ua.

¹Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there assembled unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept very sore.

²Huan Elam tapate laka khat, Jehiel tapa Sekanianin a dawnga Ezra kiangah, I Pathian tungah I natalekta ua, gama mite numei lamdangte I nakitenpihta uh: hitamahleh hiai thil thu-ah Israel adingin lametna a om lai hi.

²And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing.

³Huaijiakin tuin jite tengteng leh, amau akipana huchibanga piangte, ka toupa thihilh dungjuiin leh, I Pathian uh thupiak a laua lingte thuhilh dingjuiin, koih mang dingin I Pathian toh thu I khung ding uh; huan dan dungjuiin kihih leh

³Now therefore 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 commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.

⁴Thou in, a thu lah nanga ahi ngala, kou leng na kiangah ka om ding uhi: hangsan takin om inla, hihin, a chi a.

⁴Arise; for this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it.

⁵Huchiin Ezra a thoua, hiai thu dungjuia a hih ding un, siampute leh Levi mite laka pipente leh Israel tengteng a kichiamsak ta hi. Huchiin a kichiamta uhi.

⁵Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they should do according to this word. And they sware.

⁶Huan Pathian in mai akipan Ezra a thou khiaa, Eliasib tapa Jehohanan dantan sungah a lut a: huan huailaia a thongpai laiin, tanghou a ne keia, tui lah a dawn kei hi: saltanna ate tatlekna jiakin a sun ngala.

⁶Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away.

⁷Huan Juda leh Jerusalem tenga saltanna tate kiangah thu a puang khia ua, Jerusalem a kikaikhawm vek dingin;

⁷And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;

⁸Huan kuapeuh ni thum sunga hongpai lou, lalte leh upate thu bang jelin, a van tengteng laksak ahi dinga, amah mah saltanna omkhawmte akipana tuamkoih ahi ding.

⁸And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.

⁹Huchihlaiin Juda leh Benjamin mi tengteng Jerusalem ah ni thum sungin a kikaikhawm ua; a kha kuana ahi a, a kha ni sawmnih ni: huchiin mi tengteng teng Pathian in maia mun lian ah a tu ua, hiai thu lhe vuah pi jiakin a ling uh.

⁹Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was 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 this matter, and for the great rain.

¹⁰Huan Ezra siampu a dinga, a kiang uah, Na talek ua, Israel mohna khangsak dingin, numei lamdangte na kitenpih uh,

¹⁰And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel.

¹¹Huaijiakin tuin na pipute uh Pathian, TOUPA kiangah thupha tawi unla, a kipahlam hih un: gama mite akipan leh, numei lamdangte akipan kituam seh un, a chi a.

¹¹Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives.

¹²Huchiin kikhawmte tengtengin a dawng ua, aw ngaih takin, Ka tungtang uh na gen bagin, huchibangin ka hih ding uh, a chi ua.

¹²Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do.

¹³Himahleh mite tampi ahi ua, vuah tampi zuk lai ahi, huchiin inpua ah ka ding theikei ua, hiai lah ni khat hiam nasep ahi kei hi: hiai thu-ah lah nakpi takin I natalekta ngal ua.

¹³But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.

¹⁴Tuin omkhawmte adingin I lalte ding sehin om henla, I Pathian uh thangpaihna ei akipana a kiheia, hiai thu hihbei a hih masiah, numei lamdangte kitenpihte I khopitea omte hun sehsate ah, khopi chitenga upate amau toh, huailaia vaihawmmite toh, hongpai uhen.

¹⁴Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them which have taken strange wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter be turned from us.

¹⁵Asahel tapa Jonathan leh Tikva tapa Jahzeia kian hiai thu a sel uh: huan Meshullam leh Sabbethai Levi miin amaute apanpih uh.

¹⁵Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah were employed about this matter: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.

¹⁶Huan huchibangin saltanna akipan kiknawnten a hihta uh. Huan siampu Ezra, a pipute uh inkote dungjuia, pipute inkote laka lupen kuatete hiam toh, leh a min te ua amaute tengteng, tuamseh khiakin a om ua; huchiin a thu entel dingin a kha sawmna ni khat niin a tuta uh.

¹⁶And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain chief of the fathers, after the house of their fathers, and all of them by their names, were separated, and sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.

¹⁷Huan a kha khatna a ni khat niin numei namdang kitenpihmite tengteng a hih khin ua.

¹⁷And they made an end with all the men that had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month.

¹⁸Huchiin siampute tapate lakah numei lamdang kiten pih muhin a oma: huaite, Jesua tapate, Jozadak tapa leh, a unaute, Maaseia te, Eliezer te, Jarib te, leh Gedalia te.

¹⁸And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken strange wives: namely, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren; Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.

¹⁹Huan a jite uh koih mang dingin pha a sa ua; a moh jiak un, a mohna adingin belamhon laka belamtal a lanta uhi.

¹⁹And they gave their hands that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their trespass.
