Ezdráš 10
1 Když se pak Ezdráš, padna před domem Božím, tak modlil a vyznával s pláčem, sešel se k němu z lidu Izraelského zástup velmi veliký mužů i žen i dětí. A když plakal lid pláčem velikým,
While I was kneeling down in front of the temple and praying and crying, I was confessing [the sins that the Israeli people had committed]. Many people, men and women and children, gathered around me and also cried very much.
2 Tedy mluvil Sechaniáš syn Jechielův z synů Elamových, a řekl Ezdrášovi: Myť jsme zhřešili proti Bohu svému, že jsme pojímali ženy cizozemky z národů zemí, a však vždy Izrael může míti naději při té věci.
Then Shecaniah, the son of Jehiel from the clan of Elam, said this to me: “We have disobeyed God. [Some of] us have married women who are not Israelis. But we can still confidently expect [Yahweh to be merciful to] us Israeli people.
3 Nyní tedy vejděme v smlouvu s Bohem svým, zapudíce všecky ženy i syny jejich podlé rady Páně a těch, jenž se třesou před přikázaním Boha našeho, a tak podlé zákona ať se stane.
We will do what you, and the others who have an awesome respect for what our God has commanded, tell us to do. We will do what God told us in his laws. We will make an agreement with our God, saying that we will divorce our wives who are not Israelis, and we will send them away with their children.
4 Vstaň, nebo na tobě jest ta věc, a my budeme při tobě. Posilň se a učiň tak.
(It is your responsibility to/Because you are our leader, you must) [tell us what to do]. So get up, and be courageous, and do [what is necessary]. We will (support you/tell people to do what you say).”
5 I vstal Ezdráš a zavázal přísahou přednější kněží a Levíty a všecken lid Izraelský, aby tak učinili. I přisáhli.
So I stood up and demanded that the leaders of the priests, the [other] descendants of Levi, and all [the other] Israeli people solemnly declare that they would do what Shecaniah said that they should do. So they all solemnly promised to do that.
6 A vstav Ezdráš od domu Božího, odšel do pokojíka Jochananova, syna Eliasibova, i všel tam, a nejedl chleba, ani vody nepil; nebo zámutek měl pro přestoupení těch, jenž se přestěhovali.
Then I went away from the front of the temple and went to the room where Jehohanan lived. I stayed there that night, but I did not eat or drink anything. I was still sad because some of the Israelis who had returned [from Babylonia] had not faithfully obeyed [God’s laws].
7 Zatím dali provolati v Judstvu a v Jeruzalémě všechněm přestěhovaným, aby se shromáždili do Jeruzaléma,
Then we sent a message to all [the people in] Jerusalem and [in other towns in] Judah, saying that all those who had returned [from Babylonia] should come to Jerusalem immediately.
8 Kdo by pak koli nepřišel ve třech dnech, podlé rady knížat a starších, aby všecken statek svůj propadl, a sám odloučen byl od shromáždění přestěhovaných.
We said that if any of them did not arrive within three days, the leaders of the people would order that all the property of those people would be taken from them, and that they would no longer be considered to belong to the Israeli people; [they would be considered to be foreigners].
9 A protož shromáždili se všickni muži Judští i Beniamin do Jeruzaléma ke dni třetímu, dvadcátého dne měsíce, (a ten měsíc byl devátý). I seděl všecken lid na ulici domu Božího, třesouce se pro tu věc i pro déšť.
So within three days, on December 19, all the people of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin gathered in Jerusalem. They were there, sitting in the courtyard in front of the temple. They were trembling because it was raining hard and because they were worried [that they would be punished for what they had done].
10 Tedy vyvstal Ezdráš kněz a řekl k nim: Vy jste zhřešili, že jste pojímali ženy cizozemky, abyste přidali k provinění lidu Izraelského.
Then I stood up and said to them, “[Some of] you men have committed a very bad sin. You have married women who are not Israelis. By doing that, you have made us Israeli people more guilty [than we were before].
11 Protož již vyznejte se Hospodinu Bohu otců svých, a čiňte vůli jeho, a oddělte se od národů cizích, i od žen cizozemek.
So now you must confess to Yahweh, the God whom your ancestors [worshiped/belonged to], the sin which you have committed, and you must do what he wants. Separate yourselves from the people of other nations and from the women from those nations whom you have married.”
12 I odpovědělo všecko to shromáždění, a řekli hlasem velikým: Podlé slova tvého povinni jsme tak učiniti.
The whole group answered, shouting loudly, “Yes, what you have said is right! We will do what you have said.”
13 Ale lidu mnoho jest, a prška, a nemůžeme vně státi. K tomu není ta práce jednoho dne ani dvou, nebo mnoho jest nás, kteříž jsme v tom přestoupili.
But then [one of] them said, “But we are a very large group, and it is raining hard. Also, there are many of us who have committed this bad sin. This is something that we cannot (take care of/handle) in one or two days, and we cannot stand here in this rain.
14 Nechť jsou postavena, prosíme, knížata naše ze všeho shromáždění, a kdož koli jest v městech našich, kterýž pojal ženy cizozemky, ať přijde v čas uložený, a s nimi starší z jednoho každého města i soudcové jejich, až bychom tak odvrátili hněv prchlivosti Boha našeho od sebe pro tu věc.
So allow our leaders to decide for all of us what we should do. Tell everyone who has married a woman who is not Israeli to come at a time that you decide. They should come with the elders and judges from each city. If we do that, our God will stop being angry with us [because of what we have done].”
15 Takž Jonatan syn Azahelův, a Jachziáš syn Tekue, postaveni byli nad tím, Mesullam pak a Sabbetai, Levítové, pomáhali jim.
Jonathan the son of Asahel, Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah, Meshullam, and Shabbethai, a descendant of Levi, were the only ones who objected to this.
16 Tedy učinili tak při těch, jenž přestěhováni byli. I odděleni jsou Ezdráš kněz a muži přední čeledí otcovských po domích otců svých, všickni ti ze jména, a zasedli prvního dne měsíce desátého, aby to vyhledali.
All the others who had returned from Babylonia said that they would do it. So I chose leaders of each of the clans, and I wrote down their names. On December 29, these men came and sat down to investigate the matter.
17 Což i konali při všech mužích, kteříž byli pojali ženy cizozemky, až do prvního dne prvního měsíce.
By March 27 of the next year they finished determining which men had married women who were not Israelis.

19 Ale povolili, aby zapudili ženy své. A ti, kteříž provinili, obětovali skopce z stáda za vinu svou.
They solemnly promised to divorce their wives, and they each sacrificed a ram to be an offering [to atone] for their sins.
