< 以斯拉记 10 >

1 以斯拉祷告,认罪,哭泣,俯伏在 神殿前的时候,有以色列中的男女孩童聚集到以斯拉那里,成了大会,众民无不痛哭。
And while Ezra prayed, and made confession, weeping and falling down before the house of God, there were gathered to him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children; for the people wept very much.
2 属以拦的子孙、耶歇的儿子示迦尼对以斯拉说:“我们在此地娶了外邦女子为妻,干犯了我们的 神,然而以色列人还有指望。
And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Ezra, We have acted unfaithfully toward our God, and have taken foreign wives of the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.
3 现在当与我们的 神立约,休这一切的妻,离绝她们所生的,照着我主和那因 神命令战兢之人所议定的,按律法而行。
And now 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 commandments of our God; and let it be done according to the law.
4 你起来,这是你当办的事,我们必帮助你,你当奋勉而行。”
Arise, for this matter is incumbent on thee, and we will be with thee: be of good courage, and do [it].
5 以斯拉便起来,使祭司长和利未人,并以色列众人起誓说,必照这话去行;他们就起了誓。
Then Ezra arose, and made the chiefs of the priests, of the Levites, and of all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. And they swore.
6 以斯拉从 神殿前起来,进入以利亚实的儿子约哈难的屋里,到了那里不吃饭,也不喝水;因为被掳归回之人所犯的罪,心里悲伤。
And Ezra arose from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib; and when he came thither, he ate no bread and drank no water; for he mourned because of the unfaithfulness of them that had been carried away.
7 他们通告犹大和耶路撒冷被掳归回的人,叫他们在耶路撒冷聚集。
And they made proclamation in Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;
8 凡不遵首领和长老所议定、三日之内不来的,就必抄他的家,使他离开被掳归回之人的会。
and that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be confiscated, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.
9 于是,犹大和便雅悯众人,三日之内都聚集在耶路撒冷。那日正是九月二十日,众人都坐在 神殿前的宽阔处;因这事,又因下大雨,就都战兢。
Then were all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered together at Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month; and all the people sat in the open space of the house of God, trembling because of the matter, and because of the pouring rain.
10 祭司以斯拉站起来,对他们说:“你们有罪了;因你们娶了外邦的女子为妻,增添以色列人的罪恶。
And Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, Ye have acted unfaithfully, and have taken foreign wives, to increase the trespass of Israel.
11 现在当向耶和华—你们列祖的 神认罪,遵行他的旨意,离绝这些国的民和外邦的女子。”
And now make confession to Jehovah the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure, and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign wives.
12 会众都大声回答说:“我们必照着你的话行,
And the whole congregation answered and said with a loud voice, Yes, it is for us to do according to thy words.
13 只是百姓众多,又逢大雨的时令,我们不能站在外头,这也不是一两天办完的事,因我们在这事上犯了大罪;
But the people are many, and it is a time of pouring rain, and it is not possible to stand without: neither is this a work for one day or two; for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.
14 不如为全会众派首领办理。凡我们城邑中娶外邦女子为妻的,当按所定的日期,同着本城的长老和士师而来,直到办完这事, 神的烈怒就转离我们了。”
Let now our princes, while this matter is going on, stand for all the congregation, and let all those that have taken foreign wives in our cities come at the appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce anger of our God be turned from us.
15 惟有亚撒黑的儿子约拿单,特瓦的儿子雅哈谢阻挡这事,并有米书兰和利未人沙比太帮助他们。
Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
16 被掳归回的人如此而行。祭司以斯拉和些族长按着宗族都指名见派;在十月初一日,一同在座查办这事,
And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest [and] certain of the chief fathers were separated according to their fathers' houses, and all of them [expressed] by name; and they sat down on the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
17 到正月初一日,才查清娶外邦女子的人数。
And they ended with all the men that had taken foreign wives by the first day of the first month.
18 在祭司中查出娶外邦女子为妻的,就是耶书亚的子孙约萨达的儿子,和他弟兄玛西雅、以利以谢、雅立、基大利;
And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken foreign wives, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren: Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
19 他们便应许必休他们的妻。他们因有罪,就献群中的一只公绵羊赎罪。
And they gave their hand to send away their wives; and they offered a ram of the flock, as trespass-offering for their guilt.
