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。
As Ezra was praying and confessing sins, weeping and falling down on his face before God's Temple, a very large crowd of Israelites, men, women, and children, gathered around him. The people were weeping bitterly as well.
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。
Shecaniah, son of Jehiel, an Elamite, said to Ezra: “Yes, we have been unfaithful to our God because we have married foreign women from the people of the land. But even so there is still hope for Israel over this.
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。
Let us make a solemn agreement right now before our God that we will send away all the foreign wives and their children. We will follow the directions given by you and those who respect the instructions of our God, carried out 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。”
Take action! It's your responsibility. We are with you. Be brave 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。
So Ezra stood up and made the leading priests, Levites, and all the Israelites present take an oath to act on what had just been said. They all took the oath.
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。
Then Ezra left them in front of God's Temple, and went to the room of Jehohanan, son of Eliashib. During the time he stayed there, he didn't eat or drink anything, because he was still mourning the unfaithfulness of the exiles.
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。
Then a proclamation was issued throughout Judah and Jerusalem that all the exiles should assemble in 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。
Anyone who did not come within three days would have all their property confiscated, and would be banned from the assembly of the exiles. This was the decision of the leaders and elders.
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。
Within three days, everyone from Judah and Benjamin assembled in Jerusalem. On the twentieth day of the ninth month, all the people sat in the square beside God's Temple, shivering because of this issue and also because of the heavy 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。
Ezra the priest stood up and told them, “You have committed sin by marrying foreign women, making Israel's guilt even worse.
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。”
Now you must confess your sin to the Lord, the God of your forefathers, and do what he requires. Sever your connections with the people of the land and your foreign wives.”
12 会众都大声回答说：“我们必照着你的话行，
The whole assembly answered in a loud voice: “We agree, and we promise to do as you say!
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 there are a lot of people here, and it's pouring with rain. We can't stay outside. More to the point, this isn't something that can be fixed in one or two days, for we have sinned extremely seriously in this.
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 our leaders act on behalf of the whole assembly. Then let every man in each of our towns who has married a foreign woman be given an appointment to come and meet, together with the elders and judges of that town, until our God is no longer angry with us over this.”
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。
The only ones to oppose this were Jonathan, son of Asahel, and Jahzeiah, son of Tikvah, supported by Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite.
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，
So this what the exiles did, selecting Ezra the priest and family leaders, according to their family divisions, all of them specifically named. On the first day of the tenth month they sat down to begin the inquiry,
17 到正月初一日，才查清娶外邦女子的人数。
and by the first day of the first month they had finished handling all the cases of men who had married foreign women.
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；
Among the descendants of the priests, the following had married foreign women: from the sons of Jeshua son of Jozadak, and his brothers Maaseiah, Eliezer, 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。
They vowed to send their wives away, and they presented a ram from the flock as a guilt offering for their guilt.
