Ezra 10

1 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.

١ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى عَزْرَا وَٱعْتَرَفَ وَهُوَ بَاكٍ وَسَاقِطٌ أَمَامَ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ، ٱجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ جَمَاعَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ جِدًّا مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ وَٱلنِّسَاءِ وَٱلْأَوْلَادِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ بَكَى بُكَاءً عَظِيمًا.

2 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.

٢ وَأَجَابَ شَكَنْيَا بْنُ يَحِيئِيلَ مِنْ بَنِي عِيلَامَ وَقَالَ لِعَزْرَا: «إِنَّنَا قَدْ خُنَّا إِلَهَنَا وَٱتَّخَذْنَا نِسَاءً غَرِيبَةً مِنْ شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. وَلَكِنِ ٱلْآنَ يُوجَدُ رَجَاءٌ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ فِي هَذَا.

3 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.

٣ فَلْنَقْطَعِ ٱلْآنَ عَهْدًا مَعَ إِلَهِنَا أَنْ نُخْرِجَ كُلَّ ٱلنِّسَاءِ وَٱلَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا مِنْهُنَّ، حَسَبَ مَشُورَةِ سَيِّدِي، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ وَصِيَّةَ إِلَهِنَا، وَلْيُعْمَلْ حَسَبَ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ.

4 Arise: for the matter belogeth vnto thee: we also wil be with thee: be of comfort and do it.

٤ قُمْ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ ٱلْأَمْرَ وَنَحْنُ مَعَكَ. تَشَجَّعْ وَٱفْعَلْ».

5 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.

٥ فَقَامَ عَزْرَا وَٱسْتَحْلَفَ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ وَكُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا حَسَبَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ، فَحَلَفُوا.

6 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.

٦ ثُمَّ قَامَ عَزْرَا مِنْ أَمَامِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى مُخْدَعِ يَهُوحَانَانَ بْنِ أَلْيَاشِيبَ. فَٱنْطَلَقَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ وَهُوَ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ خُبْزًا وَلَمْ يَشْرَبْ مَاءً، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَنُوحُ بِسَبَبِ خِيَانَةِ أَهْلِ ٱلسَّبْيِ.

7 And they caused a proclamation to goe throughout Iudah and Ierusalem, vnto all them of the captiuitie, that they should assemble themselues vnto Ierusalem.

٧ وَأَطْلَقُوا نِدَاءً فِي يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى جَمِيعِ بَنِي ٱلسَّبْيِ لِكَيْ يَجْتَمِعُوا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.

8 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.

٨ وَكُلُّ مَنْ لَا يَأْتِي فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ حَسَبَ مَشُورَةِ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ وَٱلشُّيُوخِ يُحَرَّمُ كُلُّ مَالِهِ، وَهُوَ يُفْرَزُ مِنْ جَمَاعَةِ أَهْلِ ٱلسَّبْيِ.

9 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.

٩ فَٱجْتَمَعَ كُلُّ رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، أَيْ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلتَّاسِعِ، فِي ٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، وَجَلَسَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ فِي سَاحَةِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ مُرْتَعِدِينَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْرِ وَمِنَ ٱلْأَمْطَارِ.

10 And Ezra the Priest stoode vp, and said vnto them, Ye haue transgressed, and haue taken strange wiues, to increase the trespasse of Israel.

١٠ فَقَامَ عَزْرَا ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ خُنْتُمْ وَٱتَّخَذْتُمْ نِسَاءً غَرِيبَةً لِتَزِيدُوا عَلَى إِثْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

11 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.

١١ فَٱعْتَرِفُوا ٱلْآنَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ آبَائِكُمْ وَٱعْمَلُوا مَرْضَاتَهُ، وَٱنْفَصِلُوا عَنْ شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَعَنِ ٱلنِّسَاءِ ٱلْغَرِيبَةِ».

12 And all the Congregation answered, and sayd with a loude voyce, So will we do according to thy wordes vnto vs.

١٢ فَأَجَابَ كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ وَقَالُوا بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «كَمَا كَلَّمْتَنَا كَذَلِكَ نَعْمَلُ.

13 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.

١٣ إِلَا أَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ كَثِيرٌ، وَٱلْوَقْتَ وَقْتُ أَمْطَارٍ، وَلَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا عَلَى ٱلْوُقُوفِ فِي ٱلْخَارِجِ، وَٱلْعَمَلُ لَيْسَ لِيَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ أَوْ لِٱثْنَيْنِ، لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ أَكْثَرْنَا ٱلذَّنْبَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ.

14 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.

١٤ فَلْيَقِفْ رُؤَسَاؤُنَا لِكُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ. وَكُلُّ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي مُدُنِنَا قَدِ ٱتَّخَذُوا نِسَاءً غَرِيبَةً، فَلْيَأْتُوا فِي أَوْقَاتٍ مُعَيَّنَةٍ وَمَعَهُمْ شُيُوخُ مَدِينَةٍ فَمَدِينَةٍ وَقُضَاتُهَا، حَتَّى يَرْتَدَّ عَنَّا حُمُوُّ غَضَبِ إِلَهِنَا مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ».

15 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.

١٥ وَيُونَاثَانُ بْنُ عَسَائِيلَ وَيَحْزِيَا بْنُ تِقْوَةَ فَقَطْ قَامَا عَلَى هَذَا، وَمَشُلَّامُ وَشَبْتَايُ ٱللَّاوِيُّ سَاعَدَاهُمَا.

16 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.

١٦ وَفَعَلَ هَكَذَا بَنُو ٱلسَّبْيِ. وَٱنْفَصَلَ عَزْرَا ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَرِجَالٌ رُؤُوسُ آبَاءٍ، حَسَبَ بُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ، وَجَمِيعُهُمْ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ، وَجَلَسُوا فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ لِلْفَحْصِ عَنِ ٱلْأَمْرِ.

17 And vntill the first day of the first moneth they were finishing the businesse with al the men that had taken strange wiues.

١٧ وَٱنْتَهَوْا مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُوا نِسَاءً غَرِيبَةً فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ.

18 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.

١٨ فَوُجِدَ بَيْنَ بَنِي ٱلْكَهَنَةِ مَنِ ٱتَّخَذَ نِسَاءً غَرِيبَةً: فَمِنْ بَنِي يَشُوعَ بْنِ يُوصَادَاقَ وَإِخْوَتِهِ: مَعْشِيَّا وَأَلِيعَزَرُ وَيَارِيبُ وَجَدَلْيَا.

19 And they gaue their hads, that they would put away their wiues, and they that had trespassed, gaue a ramme for their trespasse.

١٩ وَأَعْطَوْا أَيْدِيَهُمْ لِإِخْرَاجِ نِسَائِهِمْ مُقَرِّبِينَ كَبْشَ غَنَمٍ لِأَجْلِ إِثْمِهِمْ.
