< 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。
Now, when Ezra had prayed and when he had made confession, weeping and casting himself down, before the house of God, there gathered unto him out of Israel, an exceeding large convocation—men and women and children, for the people wept with a very bitter weeping.
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。
Then responded Shecaniah son of Jehiel of the sons of Elam, and said unto Ezra, We, have been faithful with our God, and have married foreign women from among 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。
Now, therefore, let us solemnize a covenant unto our God—to put away all the women and such as have been born of them, in the counsel of my lord, and them who tremble at the commandment of our God, —and, according to the law, let it be done.
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, upon thee, resteth the thing, but, we, are with thee, —be strong, and act.
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 arose Ezra and made the rulers of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, swear to do according to this word—and they sware.
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 arose Ezra from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan son of Eliashib, —and, when he came thither, bread, did he not eat, and, water, did he not drink, for he was mourning over the unfaithfulness of them of the Exile.
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 made they a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem, unto all the Sons of the Exile, to 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, whosoever should not come within three days, according to the counsel of the rulers and the elders, all his goods should be devoted, —and, himself, be separated from the convocation of them of the Exile.
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 gathered together all the men of Judah and Benjamin unto Jerusalem, within three days, the same, was the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month, —and all the people remained in the broadway of the house of God, trembling concerning the thing, and because of the heavy rains.
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。
Then arose Ezra the priest, and said unto them, Ye, have acted unfaithfully, and have married foreign women, —to add unto the guilt 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。”
Now, therefore, make confession unto Yahweh God of your fathers, and do his pleasure, —and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women.
Then responded all the convocation and said, with a loud voice, —Thus, according to thy word concerning us, must it be done.
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;
Nevertheless, the people, are many, and, the season, is that of the heavy rains, and we are not able to stand outside, —and, the business, is not one for a single day, nor yet for two, for we have abundantly 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, we beseech thee, our rulers take up their station for all the convocation, and, all who, throughout our cities, have married foreign women, let them come in at times appointed, and, with them, the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the glow of the anger of our God be turned from us, concerning this matter.
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 son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah, made a stand 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,
But the Sons of the Exile, did thus, and Ezra the priest separated to himself certain men—ancestral heads by their ancestral houses, and all of them by name, —and they took their seats on the first day of the tenth month to search into the matter;
and they made an end with all the men who had married foreign women, —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;
Now there were found, of the sons of the priests, who had married foreign women, —of the sons of Jeshua 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, that they would put away their wives, —and, being guilty, [they offered] a ram of the flock for their guilt.
