< 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。
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 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。
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 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 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 belogeth vnto thee: we also wil be with thee: be of comfort 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 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 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。
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 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。
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 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 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 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 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 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。
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 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.
And all the Congregation answered, and sayd with a loude voyce, So will we do according to thy wordes vnto vs.
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 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 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。」
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 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。
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 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,
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.
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;
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。
And they gaue their hads, that they would put away their wiues, and they that had trespassed, gaue a ramme for their trespasse.
And of the sonnes of Immer, Honani, and Zebadiah.
