以斯拉記 10
1 當厄斯德拉淚流如注，俯伏在天主殿祈禱認罪時，有很大的一群以色列人，男、女、孩童都聚集在她四周，民眾也都流淚痛哭。
Whiles Ezra prayed thus, and confessed himselfe weeping, and falling downe before the house of God, there assembled vnto him of Israel a very great Congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept with a great lamentation.
2 當時厄藍子孫中有一位，即耶希耳的兒子舍加尼雅，發言向厄斯德拉說：「我們由本地異民中娶了外婦女，實在得罪了天主，但對此事為以色列還有希望。
Then Shechaniah the sonne of Iehiel one of the sonnes of Elam answered, and sayd to Ezra, We haue trespassed against our God, and haue taken strange wiues of the people of the land, yet nowe there is hope in Israel concerning this.
3 現在我們與我們的天主立約，離棄這些婦女和她們所生的兒女，全照我主和那些對我們天主誡命起敬起畏者的意見，依照法律行事。
Now therfore let vs make a couenant with our God, to put away all the wiues (and such as are borne of them) according to the counsell of the Lord, and of those that feare the commandements of our God, and let it be done according to the Lawe.
4 起來! 因為這事全在妳身上，我們支持妳，妳應勇敢去作! 」
Arise: for the matter belogeth vnto thee: we also wil be with thee: be of comfort and do it.
5 厄斯德拉便起來，令司祭並肋未人首領起誓，必按這話去做；他們就發了誓。
Then arose Ezra, and caused the chiefe Priestes, the Leuites, and all Israel, to sweare that they would doe according to this worde. So they sware.
6 厄斯德拉遂離開天主的殿，到了厄肋雅史的兒子約哈南的房裏，在那裏過夜，飯也不吃，水也不喝，因為她對充軍歸來者的罪惡悲傷。
And Ezra rose vp from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Iohanan the sonne of Eliashib: he went euen thither, but he did eate neither bread, nor drunke water: for he mourned, because of the transgression of them of the captiuitie.
7 首領們遂在猶大和耶路撒冷發出通告，令充軍歸來的人都聚集在耶路撒冷；
And they caused a proclamation to goe throughout Iudah and Ierusalem, vnto all them of the captiuitie, that they should assemble themselues vnto Ierusalem.
8 照眾首領和長老的議決：凡三日不來者，他的一切財產應充公，他本人也應由充軍歸來的會眾中革除。
And whosoeuer woulde not come within three dayes according to the counsel of the Princes and Elders, all his substance should be forfait, and he should be separate from the Congregation of them of the captiuitie.
9 所有猶大和本雅明人，三又內都聚集在耶路撒冷，時在九月日，眾人都坐在天主殿前的廣場上，為了這事和大雨的緣故，都戰戰兢兢。
Then all the men of Iudah and Beniamin assembled theselues vnto Ierusalem within three dayes, which was the twentieth day of the ninth moneth, and all the people sate in the streete of the house of God, trembling for this matter, and for the raine.
10 厄斯德拉司祭起來向他們說：「你們娶了外方婦女而失了信，增加了以色列的罪孽；
And Ezra the Priest stoode vp, and said vnto them, Ye haue transgressed, and haue taken strange wiues, to increase the trespasse of Israel.
11 現今你們應向上主你們的天主認罪，承行衪的旨意，離開本地異民和外方婦女」。
Now therefore giue praise vnto the Lord God of your fathers, and do his will, and separate your selues from the people of the land, and from the strange wiues.
12 全會眾都高聲回答說：「你怎樣說，我們就怎樣做。
And all the Congregation answered, and sayd with a loude voyce, So will we do according to thy wordes vnto vs.
13 但因人民眾多，又兼雨季，我們不能留在露天地裏，何況又不是一兩天能完成的事，因為我們在這事上越規的人實在太多。
But the people are many, and it is a raynie weather, and we are not able to stande without, neither is it the worke of one day or two: for we are many that haue offended in this thing.
14 讓我們的首領為眾會眾負責好了! 凡在我們城內娶了外方婦女人，照指定的時候，同自己城內的長老和判官，一起前來了結此案，直到挽回我們的天主對此事的盛怒」。
Let our rulers stand therefore before all the Congregation, and let all them which haue taken strange wiues in our cities, come at the time appoynted, and with them the Elders of euery citie and the Iudges thereof, til the fierce wrath of our God for this matter turne away from vs.
15 只有阿撒耳的兒子約納堂，和提克瓦的兒子雅赫則雅，起來反對這種辦法；還有默叔藍和肋未人沙貝泰，支持他們。
Then were appoynted Ionathan the sonne of Asah-el, and Iahaziah the sonne of Tikuah ouer this matter, and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Leuites helped them.
16 由充軍歸來的子民就這樣做了。厄斯德拉司祭，於是由各家族為自己選擇了一些族長，都的提名指定的。他們便在十月一日，開庭審查此案，
And they of the captiuitie did so, and departed, euen Ezra the Priest, and the men that were chiefe fathers to the familie of their fathers by name, and sate downe in the first day of the tenth moneth to examine the matter.
17 直到一且日，方才辦完關於娶外方婦女的男子的案件。
And vntill the first day of the first moneth they were finishing the businesse with al the men that had taken strange wiues.
18 在司祭中，發現有些人娶了外方的婦女；約匝達克的兒子耶叔亞的子孫和他的兄弟中，有瑪阿色雅、厄里阿厄則爾、雅黎布和革達里雅；
And of the sonnes of the Priests there were men founde, that had taken strange wiues, to wit, of the sonnes of Ieshua, the sonne of Iozadak, and of his brethren, Maaseiah, Aeliezer, and Iarib and Gedaliah.
19 他們宣誓辭去自己的妻子，為贖自己的罪，獻了一公綿羊作贖過祭。
And they gaue their hads, that they would put away their wiues, and they that had trespassed, gaue a ramme for their trespasse.
