Ezra 10

1 Therefore, as Ezra was praying, and imploring, and weeping in this way, and was prostrate before the temple of God, an exceedingly great assembly of men and women and children was gathered to him from Israel. And the people wept with a great weeping.

sic ergo orante Ezra et inplorante eo et flente et iacente ante templum Dei collectus est ad eum de Israhel coetus grandis nimis virorum et mulierum puerorumque et flevit populus multo fletu

2 And Shecaniah, the son of Jehiel, from the sons of Elam, responded and said to Ezra: “We have sinned against our God, and have taken foreign wives from the peoples of the land. And now, if there is repentance within Israel over this,

et respondit Sechenia filius Iehihel de filiis Helam et dixit Ezrae nos praevaricati sumus in Deum nostrum et duximus uxores alienigenas de populis terrae et nunc si est paenitentia Israhel super hoc

3 let us strike a pact with the Lord our God, so that we may cast aside all the wives, and those who have been born from them, in accord with the will of the Lord, and of those who fear the precept of the Lord our God. So let it be done, according to the law.

percutiamus foedus cum Deo nostro ut proiciamus universas uxores et eos qui de his nati sunt iuxta voluntatem Domini et eorum qui timent praeceptum Dei nostri secundum legem fiat

4 Rise up. It is for you to discern, and we shall be with you. Be strengthened and act.”

surge tuum est decernere nosque erimus tecum confortare et fac

5 Therefore, Ezra rose up, and he caused the leaders of the priests and the Levites, and all of Israel, to swear that they would act in accord with this word. And they swore it.

surrexit ergo Ezras et adiuravit principes sacerdotum Levitarum et omnem Israhel ut facerent secundum verbum hoc et iuraverunt

6 And Ezra rose up before the house of God, and he went away to the chamber of Jehohanan, the son of Eliashib, and he entered into it. He did not eat bread, and he did not drink water. For he was mourning the transgression of those who had arrived from the captivity.

et surrexit Ezras ante domum Dei et abiit ad cubiculum Iohanan filii Eliasib et ingressus est illuc panem non comedit et aquam non bibit lugebat enim in transgressione eorum qui de captivitate venerant

7 And a voice was sent into Judah and Jerusalem, to all the sons of the transmigration, so that they would gather together in Jerusalem.

et missa est vox in Iuda et in Hierusalem omnibus filiis transmigrationis ut congregarentur in Hierusalem

8 And all those who would not arrive within three days, in accord with the counsel of the leaders and the elders, would have all his substance taken away, and he would be cast out of the assembly of the transmigration.

et omnis qui non venerit in tribus diebus iuxta consilium principum et seniorum auferetur universa substantia eius et ipse abicietur de coetu transmigrationis

9 And so, all the men of Judah and of Benjamin convened in Jerusalem within three days. This was in the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month. And all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of the sin and the rain.

convenerunt igitur omnes viri Iuda et Beniamin in Hierusalem tribus diebus ipse est mensis nonus vicesimo die mensis et sedit omnis populus in platea domus Dei trementes pro peccato et pluviis

10 And Ezra, the priest, rose up, and he said to them: “You have transgressed, and you have taken foreign wives, so that you added to the offenses of Israel.

et surrexit Ezras sacerdos et dixit ad eos vos transgressi estis et duxistis uxores alienigenas ut adderetis super delictum Israhel

11 And now, make confession to the Lord, the God of your fathers, and do what pleases him, and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from your foreign wives.”

et nunc date confessionem Domino Deo patrum vestrorum et facite placitum eius et separamini a populis terrae et ab uxoribus alienigenis

12 And the entire multitude responded, and they said with a great voice: “In accord with your word to us, so let be it done.

et respondit universa multitudo dixitque voce magna iuxta verbum tuum ad nos sic fiat

13 Yet truly, since the people are many, and it is the time of rain, and we cannot endure standing outside, and this is not a task for one or two days, (for certainly we have sinned greatly in this matter, )

verumtamen quia populus multus est et tempus pluviae et non sustinemus stare foris et opus non est diei unius vel duorum vehementer quippe peccavimus in sermone isto

14 let leaders be appointed among the entire multitude. And in all our cities, let those who have taken foreign wives arrive at appointed times, and with them the elders from city to city, and the judges, until the wrath of our God has been averted from us over this sin.”

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 And so Jonathan, the son of Asahel, and Jahzeiah, the son of Tikvah, were appointed over this, and the Levites Meshullam and Shabbethai assisted them.

igitur Ionathan filius Asahel et Iaazia filius Thecuae steterunt super hoc et Mesollam et Sebethai Levites adiuverunt eos

16 And the sons of the transmigration did so. And Ezra, the priest, and the men who were the leaders of the families in the houses of their fathers, and all according to their names, went and sat down, on the first day of the tenth month, so that they might examine the matter.

feceruntque sic filii transmigrationis et abierunt Ezras sacerdos et viri principes familiarum in domum patrum suorum et omnes per nomina sua et sederunt in die primo mensis decimi ut quaererent rem

17 And they made an end with all the men who had taken foreign wives, by the first day of the first month.

et consummati sunt omnes viri qui duxerant uxores alienigenas usque ad diem primam mensis primi

18 And there were found among the sons of the priests some who had taken foreign wives: From the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.

et inventi sunt de filiis sacerdotum qui duxerant uxores alienigenas de filiis Iosue filii Iosedech et fratres eius Maasia et Eliezer et Iarib et Godolia

19 And they swore with their hands that they would cast aside their wives, and that they would offer for their offense a ram from among the sheep.

et dederunt manus suas ut eicerent uxores suas et pro delicto suo arietem de ovibus offerrent
