1Now 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.
1Nak yô chi tijoc laj Esdras, cuikßcuo chiru lix templo li Dios. Yô chi yâbac ut yô chixpatzßbal xcuybal xmâqueb li tenamit. Queßcuulac riqßuin jun chßûtaleb laj Israel, joß cuînk, joß ixk, joß cocßal. Yôqueb chi yâbac chi cßajoß xrahil xchßôleb.
2Shecaniah 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.
2Ut laj Secanías li ralal laj Jehiel xcomoneb laj Elam quiâtinac ut quixye re laj Esdras: —Lâo xomâcob chiru li kaDios xban nak xosumla riqßuineb li ixk li jalan xtenamiteb. Abanan toj naru teßcolekß laj Israel.
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 who tremble at the commandment of our God. Let it be done according to the law.
3Anakcuan lâo takabânu jun li contrato riqßuin li Dios. Takacanabeb li ixk aßan rochbeneb li kacocßal li cuan riqßuineb. Takabânu joß tâcuaj lâat joßqueb ajcuiß li nequeßxxucua ru li naxye li Dios. Chi-uxmânk taxak joß tzßîbanbil saß li chakßrab.
4Arise; for the matter belongs to you, and we are with you. Be courageous, and do it.”
4Xaklin, at Esdras, xban nak saß âbên tenebanbil xbânunquil aßin ut lâo tatkatenkßa. Cacuubresi âchßôl ut bânu li tento xbânunquil, chanqueb.
5Then 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.
5Joßcan nak laj Esdras quixakli ut quixye reheb li xbênil aj tij ut eb laj levita, joßqueb ajcuiß chixjunileb laj Israel nak riqßuin juramento teßxye ma teßxbânu joß queßxye. Ut eb aßan queßxbânu li juramento ut queßxsume xbânunquil li cßaßru queßxye.
6Then Ezra rose up from before God’s house, and went into the room of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came there, he ate no bread, nor drank water; for he mourned because of their trespass of the captivity.
6Laj Esdras qui-el chiru lix templo li Dios ut cô saß lix cuaribâl laj Johanán li ralal laj Eliasib. Nak cuan aran incßaß quicuaßac chi moco qui-ucßac xban nak cßajoß xrahil xchßôl xban li mâusilal li queßxbânu laj Israel li queßsukßi cuißchic Jerusalén.
7They made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together to Jerusalem;
7Quixtakla xchßutubanquileb aran Jerusalén chixjunileb li cuanqueb Judá joßqueb ajcuiß li cuanqueb Jerusalén.
8and that whoever didn’t 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 assembly of the captivity.
8Eb li cuanqueb saß xcuanquil ut eb li nequeßcßamoc be saß xyânkeb laj judío queßxcßûb ru nak li ani incßaß tâcuulak chiru oxib cutan, tâisîk chiru chixjunil li cßaßru cuan re ut tâisîk ajcuiß aßan saß xyânkeb laj Israel li queßsukßi Jerusalén.
9Then 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 broad place before God’s house, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.
9Joßcan nak chiru li oxib cutan chixjunileb li cuînk xcomoneb laj Judá ut laj Benjamín queßxchßutub ribeb aran Jerusalén saß li junmay xbe li xbele po re li chihab aßan.

10Ezra the priest stood up, and said to them, “You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, to increase the guilt of Israel.
10Qui-oc chi âtinac laj Esdras laj tij ut quixye reheb: —Lâex xexmâcob xban nak xecßam chokß êrixakil li ixk jalan xtenamiteb. Joßcan nak xnumta lê mâc lâex aj Israel.
11Now therefore make confession to Yahweh, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women.”
11Anakcuan ut qßuehomak xlokßal li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb lê naß êyucuaß. Chebânu joß naraj li Kâcuaß. Isihomak êrib saß xyânkeb li jalaneb xtenamit ut jachomak êrib riqßuineb li ixk aßan, chan.
12Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice, “As you have said concerning us, so must we do.
12Queßchakßoc chixjunileb li chßutchßûqueb aran ut queßxye chi cau xyâb xcuxeb: —Takabânu joß xaye lâat.
13But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand outside; neither is this a work of one day or two; for we have greatly transgressed in this matter.
13Abanan kßaxal nabal li tenamit ut cau li hab. Incßaß naru cuânko chirix cab chiru li hab chi moco târûk takacßûb ru chiru jun malaj cuib cutan xban nak nabalo li xomâcob riqßuin xbânunquil li mâc aßan.
14Let now 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 be turned from us, until this matter is resolved.”
14Naru teßcanâk li nequeßtaklan saß kabên chi âtinac chikix lâo li joß qßuialo cuanco arin. Ut li ani queßxcßam chokß rixakileb li ixk li jalan xtenamiteb naru nequeßchal jokße teßyehekß reheb nak teßchâlk.

15Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
15Laj Jonatán li ralal laj Asael ut laj Jahazías li ralal laj Ticva, ut cuib reheb laj levita, laj Mesulam ut laj Sabetai, incßaß queßxcßul xchßôleb li cßaßru queßxye li jun chßol chic. Caßaj cuiß eb aßan li incßaß queßxcßul xchßôleb.
16The 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.
16Qui-uxman joß queßxye li tenamit. Laj Esdras, laj tij quixsiqßueb ru li cuînk li teßtenkßânk re. Aßaneb li nequeßjolomin re li junjûnk cabal. Quixbokeb xcßabaß chixjunjûnkaleb. Saß li xbên cutan re li xlaje po queßxtiquib tzßiloc âtin chirixeb li tenamit.
17They made an end with all the men who had married foreign women by the first day of the first month.
17Ut saß li xbên cutan re li xbên po queßrakeß chi tzßiloc âtin chirixeb chixjunileb li queßxcßam rixakileb jalaneb xtenamit.
18Among the sons of the priests there were found who had married foreign women: of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
18Aßaneb aßin li ralal xcßajoleb laj tij li queßxsicß rixakileb saß xyânkeb li jalaneb xtenamit: xcomoneb li ralal laj Jesúa, ralal laj Josadac, ut xcomoneb li rîtzßin, aßaneb laj Maasías, laj Eliezer, laj Jarib ut laj Gedalías.
19They gave their hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their guilt.
19Ut queßxqßue li rukß chi ribileb rib re xcßutbal nak teßxbânu li cßaßru queßxye. Ut queßxye chi tzßakal nak teßxcanab li rixakil ut teßxmayeja jun li carner re xtzßâmanquil xcuybal xmâqueb.
