عَزْرا 10
| وَفِيمَا كَانَ عِزْرَا يُصَلِّي وَيَعْتَرِفُ بَاكِياً وَمُنْطَرِحاً أَمَامَ هَيْكَلِ اللهِ، اجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ حَشْدٌ غَفِيرٌ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالأَوْلادِ، لأَنَّ الشَّعْبَ بَكَى بِمَرَارَةٍ. | ١ 1 |
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.
| وَقَالَ شَكَنْيَا بْنُ يَحِيئِيلَ مِنْ بَنِي عِيلامَ لِعِزْرَا: «لَقَدْ خُنَّا إِلَهَنَا وَتَزَوَّجْنَا مِنْ نِسَاءٍ غَرِيبَاتٍ مِنْ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ، وَلَكِنْ عَلَى الرَّغْمِ مِنْ هَذَا فَلا يَزَالُ هُنَاكَ رَجَاءٌ لإِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٢ 2 |
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.
| لِذَلِكَ، لِنُبْرِمْ عَهْداً مَعَ إِلَهِنَا، بِأَنْ نُخْرِجَ كُلَّ النِّسَاءِ الْغَرِيبَاتِ، وَمَنْ أَنْجَبْنَ مِنْ أَبْنَاءٍ بِمُوْجِبِ رَأْيِ سَيِّدِي وَمَشُورَةِ سَائِرِ الَّذِينَ يُطِيعُونَ وَصَايَا اللهِ مُطَبِّقِينَ بِذَلِكَ نَصَّ الشَّرِيعَةِ. | ٣ 3 |
Now 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.
| فَانْهَضِ الآنَ فَإِنَّ عِبْءَ هَذَا الأَمْرِ هُوَ مَسْؤولِيَّتُكَ؛ وَلَكِنَّنَا مَعَكَ. تَشَجَّعْ وَتَصَرَّفْ». | ٤ 4 |
Arise; for the matter belongs to you, and we are with you. Be courageous, and do it."
| فَقَامَ عِزْرَا وَاسْتَحْلَفَ رُؤَسَاءَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ وَسَائِرَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يُنَفِّذُوا الْعَهْدَ. فَحَلَفُوا. | ٥ 5 |
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.
| ثُمَّ نَهَضَ عِزْرَا مِنْ أَمَامِ هَيْكَلِ اللهِ وَمَضَى إِلَى مُخْدَعِ يَهُوحَانَانَ بْنِ أَلِيَاشِيبَ، وَمَكَثَ هُنَاكَ لَا يَأْكُلُ خُبْزاً وَلا يَشْرَبُ مَاءً، نُوَاحاً عَلَى خِيَانَةِ الْعَائِدِينَ مِنَ السَّبْيِ. | ٦ 6 |
Then 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.
| وَأَطْلَقُوا دَعْوَةً فِي أَرْجَاءِ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ لِيَجْتَمِعَ جَمِيعُ الْعَائِدِينَ مِنَ السَّبْيِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٧ 7 |
They made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the descendants of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together to Jerusalem;
| وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَمْتَنِعُ عَنِ الْحُضُورِ فِي ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ، بِمُقْتَضَى أَمْرِ الرُّؤَسَاءِ والشُّيُوخِ، يُحَرَّمُ مَالُهُ وَيُنْبَذُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَهْلِ السَّبْيِ. | ٨ 8 |
and that whoever did not come within three days, according to the counsel of the officials and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the assembly of the captivity.
| فَحَضَرَ كُلُّ رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي غُضُونِ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ، وَعَقَدَ جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ اجْتِمَاعاً فِي الْيَوْمِ الْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ التَّاسِعِ (كَانُونِ الأَوَّلِ – دِيسَمْبَرَ) فِي سَاحَةِ هَيْكَلِ اللهِ. وَقَدْ جَلَسُوا مُرْتَعِدِينَ مِنْ هَوْلِ الأَمْرِ وَمِنَ الأَمْطَارِ الْغَزِيرَةِ الْهَاطِلَةِ. | ٩ 9 |
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 broad place before God's house, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ قَامَ عِزْرَا الْكَاهِنُ وَخَاطَبَهُمْ: «لَقَدْ خُنْتُمْ عَهْدَ الرَّبِّ وَتَزَوَّجْتُمْ مِنْ نِسَاءٍ غَرِيبَاتٍ لِتَزِيدُوا مِنْ وَطْأَةِ إِثْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٠ 10 |
Ezra the priest stood up, and said to them, "You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, to increase the guilt of Israel.
| فَاعْتَرِفُوا الآنَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ آبَائِكُمْ وَاطْلُبُوا مَرْضَاتَهُ، وَانْفَصِلُوا عَنْ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ وَعَنِ النِّسَاءِ الْغَرِيبَاتِ». | ١١ 11 |
Now therefore make confession to the LORD, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women."
| فَأَجَابَتِ الْجمَاعَةُ كُلُّهَا بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «سَنَفْعَلُ مَا طَالَبْتَنَا بِهِ، | ١٢ 12 |
Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice, "As you have said concerning us, so must we do.
| إِلّا أَنَّ الشَّعْبَ غَفِيرٌ، وَالْفَصْلَ فَصْلُ أَمْطَارٍ، وَلا طَاقَةَ لَنَا عَلَى الْوُقُوفِ خَارِجاً مُدَّةً طَوِيلَةً تَحْتَ الأَمْطَارِ، وَلاسِيَّمَا أَنَّ الْعَمَلَ يَسْتَغْرِقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ أَوِ اثْنَيْنِ، لأَنَّنَا تَوَرَّطْنَا بِارْتِكَابِ هَذَا الإِثْمِ تَوَرُّطاً عَظِيماً. | ١٣ 13 |
But 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.
| لِذَلِكَ فَلْيَقْضِ كُلُّ رُؤَسَائِنَا لِكُلِّ الْجَمَاعَةِ، وَلْيَأْتِ مِنْ مُدُنِنَا كُلُّ مَنْ تَزَوَّجَ مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ غَرِيبَةٍ، فِي أَوْقَاتٍ مُعَيَّنَةٍ، بِرِفْقَةِ شُيُوخِ مَدِينَتِهِ وَقُضَاتِهَا، فَيَرْتَدَّ عَنَّا احْتِدَامُ غَضَبِ إِلَهِنَا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ خَطِيئَتِنَا». | ١٤ 14 |
Let now our leaders represent the whole 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."
| وَلَمْ يَعْتَرِضْ عَلَى هَذَا الأَمْرِ سِوَى يُونَاثَانَ بْنِ عَسَائِيلَ وَيَحْزِيَا بْنِ تِقْوَةَ، وَأَيَّدَهُمَا فِي ذَلِكَ مَشُلّامُ وَشَبْتَايُ اللّاوِيَّانِ. | ١٥ 15 |
Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
| وَنَفَّذَ الْعَائِدُونَ مِنَ السَّبْيِ هَذَا الأَمْرَ، وَاخْتَارَ عِزْرَا الْكَاهِنُ رُؤَسَاءَ الْعَائِلاتِ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ وَفْقاً لِعَشَائِرِهِمْ، فَانْفَصَلُوا عَنِ الْجَمَاعَةِ وَجَلَسُوا فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الْعَاشِرِ (مُنْتَصَفِ كَانُونِ الأَوَّلِ – دِيسَمْبَرَ) لِلْقَضَاءِ فِي الأَمْرِ. | ١٦ 16 |
But the descendants of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest selected for himself men, heads of fathers' houses, according to their fathers' houses, and all of them by their names. So they began their sessions on the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
| وَتَمَّ الْفَصْلُ فِي قَضَايَا كُلِّ الرِّجَالِ الَّذِينَ تَزَوَّجُوا مِنْ نِسَاءٍ غَرِيبَاتٍ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ (آذَارَ – مَارِسَ). | ١٧ 17 |
And they finished with all the men who had married foreign women by the first day of the first month.
| فَوُجِدَ بَيْنَ الْكَهَنَةِ مِمَّنْ تَزَوَّجُوا مِنْ نِسَاءٍ غَرِيبَاتٍ: مِنْ بَنِي يَشُوعَ بْنِ يُوصَادَاقَ وَإِخْوَتِهِ: مَعْشِيَا وَأَلِيعَزَرُ وَيَارِيبُ وَجَدَلْيَا. | ١٨ 18 |
Among 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.
| هَؤُلاءِ تَعَهَّدُوا بِإِخْرَاجِ نِسَائِهِمِ الْغَرِيبَاتِ مُقَرِّبِينَ كَبْشَ غَنَمٍ تَكْفِيراً عَنْ إِثْمِهِمْ. | ١٩ 19 |
They gave their hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their guilt.
