1Now when Esdras was thus praying, and beseeching, and weeping, and lying before the temple of God, there was gathered to him of Israel an exceeding great assembly of men and women and children, and the people wept with much lamentation.
1Pea ʻi he hili ʻae lotu ʻa Esela, pea hili ʻene vete, ʻo tangi mo fakatōmapeʻe ia ʻi he mata fale ʻoe ʻOtua, naʻe haʻu kiate ia mei ʻIsileli ʻae fuʻu kakai tokolahi ʻoe kau tangata mo e kau fefine mo e fānau: he naʻe tangi mamahi ʻaupito ʻae kakai.
2And Sechenias the son of Jehiel of the sons of Elam answered, and said to Esdras: We have sinned against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: and now if there be repentance in Israel concerning this,
2Pea ko Sikania ko e foha ʻo Sehieli, ko e tokotaha ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻIlami, naʻe lea ia ʻo ne pehē kia Esela, “Kuo mau fai hala ki hotau ʻOtua, pea kuo mau maʻu ʻae ngaahi uaifi kehe ʻi he kakai ʻoe fonua: ka ko eni ʻoku ai ʻae ʻamanaki lelei ʻi ʻIsileli ʻoku kau ki he meʻa ni.
3Let us make a covenant with the Lord our God, to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the will of the Lord, and of them that fear the commandment of the Lord our God: let it be done according to the law.
3Pea ko eni ke tau fai ʻae fuakava ki hotau ʻOtua ke mau tukuange ʻae ngaahi uaifi kehe kotoa pē, mo kinautolu kuo fānau ʻiate kinautolu, ʻo fakatatau ki he fakakaukau ʻa hoku ʻeiki, mo kinautolu ʻoku tetetete ki he fekau ʻa hotau ʻOtua; pea tuku ke fai ia ʻo fakatatau mo e fono.
4Arise, it is thy part to give orders, and we will be with thee: take courage, and do it.
4Tuʻu hake: he ʻoku kau ʻae meʻa ni kiate koe: pea ke loto mālohi, pea fai ia.”
5So Esdras arose, and made the chiefs of the priests and of the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word, and they swore.
5Pea naʻe tuʻu ai ʻa Esela, pea fakafuakava ʻe ia ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e kau Livai, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē koeʻuhi ke nau fai ʻo fakatatau ki he lea ni. Pea naʻa nau fuakava.
6And Esdras rose up from before the house of God, and went to the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliasib, and entered in thither: he ate no bread, and drank no water: for he mourned for the transgression of them that were come out of the captivity.
6¶ Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Esela mei he mata fale ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ne ʻalu ki he fale ʻo Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Iliasipi: pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki ai, naʻe ʻikai te ne kai ha mā, pe inu ha vai: he naʻe tangi pe ia ko e meʻa ʻi he angahala ʻanautolu ʻaia naʻe fetuku ʻo ʻave pōpula.
7And proclamation was made in Juda and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should assemble together into Jerusalem.
7Pea naʻa nau fanongonongo ʻae fono ʻi Siuta kotoa pē mo Selūsalema ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻoe fakapōpula, koeʻuhi ke nau fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻi Selūsalema.
8And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the ancients, all his substance should be taken away, and he should be cast out of the company of them that were returned from captivity.
8Pea ʻilonga ʻaia ʻe ʻikai haʻu ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu, ʻo fakatatau mo e fakakaukau ʻae houʻeiki mo e kau mātuʻa, ʻe faʻoa ʻene meʻa kotoa pē, pea ʻe vaheʻi ia mei he fakataha ʻokinautolu naʻe fetuku ki he mamaʻo.
9Then all the men of Juda, and Benjamin gathered themselves together to Jerusalem within three days, in the ninth month, 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.
9¶ Pea naʻe toki fakakātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu ki Selūsalema ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē ʻo Siuta mo Penisimani, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu. Ko hono hiva ia ʻoe māhina, ʻi hono ʻaho ʻe uofulu ʻoe māhina; pea naʻe nofo ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻi he hala lahi ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua, pea tetetete koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni, pea koeʻuhi ko e ʻuha lahi.
10And Esdras the priest stood up, and said to them: You have transgressed, and taken strange wives, to add to the sins of Israel.
10Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Esela ko e taulaʻeiki, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kuo mou fai talangataʻa; pea kuo mou maʻu ʻae ngaahi uaifi kehe, ke fakalahi ki he hala ʻa ʻIsileli.
11And now make confession to the Lord the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure, and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from your strange wives.
11Pea ko eni mou fai ʻae vete kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, pea mou fai ki hono finangalo: pea fakamavae ʻakimoutolu mei he kakai ʻoe fonua, pea mei homou ngaahi uaifi kehe.”
12And all the multitude answered and said with a loud voice: According to thy word unto us, so be it done.
12Pea naʻe lea ai ʻae kakai kotoa pē naʻe fakataha ʻo pehē ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, “Hangē ko ia kuo ke tala, ʻoku totonu ke mau fai.
13But as the people are many, and it is time of rain, and me are not able to stand without, and it is not a work of one day or two, (for we have exceedingly sinned in this matter,)
13Ka ʻoku tokolahi ʻae kakai, pea ko e ʻaho eni ʻoe ʻuha lahi, pea ʻoku ʻikai te mau faʻa fai ke tuʻu ʻi tuaʻā, pea ʻoku ʻikai ko e ngāue eni ki he ʻaho pe taha pe ua: he ʻoku mau tokolahi kuo fai hala ʻi he meʻa ni.
14Let rulers be appointed in all the multitude: and in all our cities, let them that have taken strange wives come at the times appointed, and with them the ancients and the judges of every city, until the wrath of our God be turned away from us for this sin.
14Pea ko eni ke tuʻu hake homau kau pule ʻoe fakataha kotoa pē, pea ke haʻu ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo nau maʻu ʻae ngaahi uaifi kehe, ʻi hotau ngaahi kolo, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻe kotofa, pea ke haʻu mo kinautolu ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻoe kolo kotoa pē, mo e kau fakamaau ʻi ai, koeʻuhi ke fakafoki ʻae houhau lahi ʻo hotau ʻOtua ʻi he meʻa ni meiate kimautolu.”
15Then Jonathan the son of Azahel, and Jaasia the son of Thecua were appointed over this, and Mesollam and Sebethai, Levites, helped them:
15¶ Ko Sonatani pe ko e foha ʻo ʻAsaeli mo Sehasia ko e foha ʻo Tikiva naʻe fakakau ʻakinaua ʻi he meʻa ni: pea naʻe tokoni ʻakinaua ʻe Mesulami, mo Sapitei ko e Livai.
16And the children of the captivity did so. And Esdras the priest, and the men heads of the families in the houses of their fathers, and all by their names, went and sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
16Pea naʻe fai pehē pe ʻe he fānau ʻae kau pōpula. Pea naʻe nofo hifo ʻa Esela ko e taulaʻeiki, mo e niʻihi ʻoe kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he kau mātuʻa, ʻo fakatatau ki he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe vahevahe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻi honau hingoa, ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe māhina ke fakamaauʻi ʻae meʻa ni.
17And they made an end with all the men that had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month.
17Pea naʻa nau fai ʻo ʻosi ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe ʻuluaki māhina ki he kau tangata kotoa pē naʻa nau maʻu ʻae uaifi kehe.
18And there were found among the sons of the priests that had taken strange wives: Of the sons of Josue the son of Josedec, and his brethren, Maasia, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Godolia.
18¶ Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, ʻae niʻihi naʻe maʻu ʻae ngaahi uaifi kehe: koeʻuhi, ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo Sesua ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, mo hono ngaahi kāinga; ko Māseia, mo ʻEliesa, mo Salipe, mo Ketalia.
19And they gave their hands to put away their wives, and to offer for their offence a ram of the flock.
19Pea naʻa nau foaki honau nima ke nau tukuange honau ngaahi uaifi; pea ʻi heʻenau halaia, naʻa nau ʻatu ʻae sipitangata mei he fanga sipi ʻi heʻenau angahala.
