Ezra 10
1 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.
Sic ergo orante Esdra, et implorante eo, et flente, et iacente ante templum Dei, collectus est ad eum de Israel cœtus grandis nimis virorum et mulierum et puerorum, et flevit populus fletu multo.
2 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.
Et respondit Sechenias filius Iehiel de filiis Ælam, et dixit Esdræ: Nos prævaricati sumus in Deum nostrum, et duximus uxores alienigenas de populis terræ: et nunc, si est pœnitentia in Israel super hoc,
3 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.
percutiamus fœdus cum Domino Deo nostro, ut proiiciamus universas uxores, et eos qui de his nati sunt iuxta voluntatem Domini, et eorum qui timent præceptum Domini Dei nostri: secundum legem fiat.
4 Arise, for the matter belongs to you and we are with you. Be courageous, and do it.”
Surge, tuum est decernere, nosque erimus tecum: confortare, et fac.
5 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.
Surrexit ergo Esdras, et adiuravit principes Sacerdotum et Levitarum, et omnem Israel ut facerent secundum verbum hoc, et iuraverunt.
6 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.
Et surrexit Esdras ante domum Dei, et abiit ad cubiculum Iohanan filii Eliasib, et ingressus est illuc, panem non comedit, et aquam non bibit: lugebat enim transgressionem eorum, qui venerant de captivitate.
7 They made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together to Jerusalem;
Et missa est vox in Iuda et in Ierusalem omnibus filiis transmigrationis, ut congregarentur in Ierusalem:
8 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.
et omnis qui non venerit in tribus diebus iuxta consilium principum et seniorum, auferetur universa substantia eius, et ipse abiicietur de cœtu transmigrationis.
9 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.
Convenerunt igitur omnes viri Iuda, et Beniamin in Ierusalem tribus diebus, ipse est mensis nonus, vigesimo die mensis: et sedit omnis populus in platea domus Dei, trementes pro peccato, et pluviis.
10 Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, increasing the guilt of Israel.
Et surrexit Esdras sacerdos, et dixit ad eos: Vos transgressi estis, et duxistis uxores alienigenas ut adderetis super delictum Israel.
11 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.”
Et nunc date confessionem Domino Deo patrum vestrorum, et facite placitum eius, et separamini a populis terræ, et ab uxoribus alienigenis.
12 Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice, “We must do as you have said concerning us.
Et respondit universa multitudo, dixitque voce magna: Iuxta verbum tuum ad nos, sic fiat.
13 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.
Verumtamen quia populus multus est, et tempus pluviæ, et non sustinemus stare foris, et opus non est diei unius vel duorum (vehementer quippe peccavimus in sermone isto)
14 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.”
constituantur principes in universa multitudine: et omnes in civitatibus nostris qui duxerunt uxores alienigenas veniant in temporibus statutis, et cum his seniores per civitatem et civitatem, et iudices eius donec avertatur ira Dei nostri a nobis super peccato hoc.
15 Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
Igitur Ionathan filius Azahel, et Iaasia filius Thecue, steterunt super hoc, et Messollam et Sebethai Levites adiuverunt eos:
16 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.
Feceruntque sic filii transmigrationis. Et abierunt Esdras Sacerdos, et viri principes familiarum in domos patrum suorum, et omnes per nomina sua, et sederunt in die primo mensis decimi ut quærerent rem.
17 They finished with all the men who had married foreign women by the first day of the first month.
Et consummati sunt omnes viri, qui duxerant uxores alienigenas, usque ad diem primam mensis primi.
18 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.
Et inventi sunt de filiis sacerdotum qui duxerant uxores alienigenas. De filiis Iosue filii Iosedec, et fratres eius, Maasia, et Eliezer, et Iarib, et Godolia.
19 They gave their hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their guilt.
Et dederunt manus suas ut eiicerent uxores suas, et pro delicto suo arietem de ovibus offerrent.
