以斯拉記 10
1 以斯拉禱告，認罪，哭泣，俯伏在上帝殿前的時候，有以色列中的男女孩童聚集到以斯拉那裏，成了大會，眾民無不痛哭。
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.
2 屬以攔的子孫、耶歇的兒子示迦尼對以斯拉說：「我們在此地娶了外邦女子為妻，干犯了我們的上帝，然而以色列人還有指望。
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.
3 現在當與我們的上帝立約，休這一切的妻，離絕她們所生的，照着我主和那因上帝命令戰兢之人所議定的，按律法而行。
Now therefore let’s make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives and those who 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.
4 你起來，這是你當辦的事，我們必幫助你，你當奮勉而行。」
Arise, for the matter belongs to you and we are with you. Be courageous, and do it.”
5 以斯拉便起來，使祭司長和利未人，並以色列眾人起誓說，必照這話去行；他們就起了誓。
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.
6 以斯拉從上帝殿前起來，進入以利亞實的兒子約哈難的屋裏，到了那裏不吃飯，也不喝水；因為被擄歸回之人所犯的罪，心裏悲傷。
Then Ezra rose up from before God’s house, and went into the room of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib. When he came there, he did not eat bread or drink water, for he mourned because of the trespass of the exiles.
7 他們通告猶大和耶路撒冷被擄歸回的人，叫他們在耶路撒冷聚集。
They made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together to Jerusalem;
8 凡不遵首領和長老所議定、三日之內不來的，就必抄他的家，使他離開被擄歸回之人的會。
and that whoever did not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his possessions should be forfeited, and he himself separated from the assembly of the captivity.
9 於是，猶大和便雅憫眾人，三日之內都聚集在耶路撒冷。那日正是九月二十日，眾人都坐在上帝殿前的寬闊處；因這事，又因下大雨，就都戰兢。
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 wide place in front of God’s house, trembling because of this matter, and because of the great rain.
10 祭司以斯拉站起來，對他們說：「你們有罪了；因你們娶了外邦的女子為妻，增添以色列人的罪惡。
Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, increasing the guilt of Israel.
11 現在當向耶和華－你們列祖的上帝認罪，遵行他的旨意，離絕這些國的民和外邦的女子。」
Now therefore make confession to the LORD, the God of your fathers and do his pleasure. Separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign women.”
12 會眾都大聲回答說：「我們必照着你的話行，
Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice, “We must do as you have said concerning us.
13 只是百姓眾多，又逢大雨的時令，我們不能站在外頭，這也不是一兩天辦完的事，因我們在這事上犯了大罪；
But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand outside. This is not a work of one day or two, for we have greatly transgressed in this matter.
14 不如為全會眾派首領辦理。凡我們城邑中娶外邦女子為妻的，當按所定的日期，同着本城的長老和士師而來，直到辦完這事，上帝的烈怒就轉離我們了。」
Now let our princes be appointed for all the 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 is turned from us, until this matter is resolved.”
15 惟有亞撒黑的兒子約拿單，特瓦的兒子雅哈謝阻擋這事，並有米書蘭和利未人沙比太幫助他們。
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 被擄歸回的人如此而行。祭司以斯拉和些族長按着宗族都指名見派；在十月初一日，一同在座查辦這事，
The children of the captivity did so. Ezra the priest, with certain heads of fathers’ households, after their fathers’ houses, and all of them by their names, were set apart; and they sat down in 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數。
They finished 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為妻的，就是耶書亞的子孫約薩達的兒子，和他弟兄瑪西雅、以利以謝、雅立、基大利；
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, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah.
19 他們便應許必休他們的妻。他們因有罪，就獻群中的一隻公綿羊贖罪。
They gave their hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their guilt.
