< 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.
وَفِيمَا كَانَ عِزْرَا يُصَلِّي وَيَعْتَرِفُ بَاكِياً وَمُنْطَرِحاً أَمَامَ هَيْكَلِ اللهِ، اجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ حَشْدٌ غَفِيرٌ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالأَوْلادِ، لأَنَّ الشَّعْبَ بَكَى بِمَرَارَةٍ.١
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.
وَقَالَ شَكَنْيَا بْنُ يَحِيئِيلَ مِنْ بَنِي عِيلامَ لِعِزْرَا: «لَقَدْ خُنَّا إِلَهَنَا وَتَزَوَّجْنَا مِنْ نِسَاءٍ غَرِيبَاتٍ مِنْ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ، وَلَكِنْ عَلَى الرَّغْمِ مِنْ هَذَا فَلا يَزَالُ هُنَاكَ رَجَاءٌ لإِسْرَائِيلَ.٢
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.
لِذَلِكَ، لِنُبْرِمْ عَهْداً مَعَ إِلَهِنَا، بِأَنْ نُخْرِجَ كُلَّ النِّسَاءِ الْغَرِيبَاتِ، وَمَنْ أَنْجَبْنَ مِنْ أَبْنَاءٍ بِمُوْجِبِ رَأْيِ سَيِّدِي وَمَشُورَةِ سَائِرِ الَّذِينَ يُطِيعُونَ وَصَايَا اللهِ مُطَبِّقِينَ بِذَلِكَ نَصَّ الشَّرِيعَةِ.٣
4 Arise: for the matter belogeth vnto thee: we also wil be with thee: be of comfort and do it.
فَانْهَضِ الآنَ فَإِنَّ عِبْءَ هَذَا الأَمْرِ هُوَ مَسْؤولِيَّتُكَ؛ وَلَكِنَّنَا مَعَكَ. تَشَجَّعْ وَتَصَرَّفْ».٤
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.
فَقَامَ عِزْرَا وَاسْتَحْلَفَ رُؤَسَاءَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَاللّاوِيِّينَ وَسَائِرَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يُنَفِّذُوا الْعَهْدَ. فَحَلَفُوا.٥
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.
ثُمَّ نَهَضَ عِزْرَا مِنْ أَمَامِ هَيْكَلِ اللهِ وَمَضَى إِلَى مُخْدَعِ يَهُوحَانَانَ بْنِ أَلِيَاشِيبَ، وَمَكَثَ هُنَاكَ لَا يَأْكُلُ خُبْزاً وَلا يَشْرَبُ مَاءً، نُوَاحاً عَلَى خِيَانَةِ الْعَائِدِينَ مِنَ السَّبْيِ.٦
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.
وَأَطْلَقُوا دَعْوَةً فِي أَرْجَاءِ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ لِيَجْتَمِعَ جَمِيعُ الْعَائِدِينَ مِنَ السَّبْيِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.٧
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.
وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَمْتَنِعُ عَنِ الْحُضُورِ فِي ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ، بِمُقْتَضَى أَمْرِ الرُّؤَسَاءِ والشُّيُوخِ، يُحَرَّمُ مَالُهُ وَيُنْبَذُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَهْلِ السَّبْيِ.٨
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.
فَحَضَرَ كُلُّ رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي غُضُونِ ثَلاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ، وَعَقَدَ جَمِيعُ الشَّعْبِ اجْتِمَاعاً فِي الْيَوْمِ الْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ التَّاسِعِ (كَانُونِ الأَوَّلِ – دِيسَمْبَرَ) فِي سَاحَةِ هَيْكَلِ اللهِ. وَقَدْ جَلَسُوا مُرْتَعِدِينَ مِنْ هَوْلِ الأَمْرِ وَمِنَ الأَمْطَارِ الْغَزِيرَةِ الْهَاطِلَةِ.٩
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.
عِنْدَئِذٍ قَامَ عِزْرَا الْكَاهِنُ وَخَاطَبَهُمْ: «لَقَدْ خُنْتُمْ عَهْدَ الرَّبِّ وَتَزَوَّجْتُمْ مِنْ نِسَاءٍ غَرِيبَاتٍ لِتَزِيدُوا مِنْ وَطْأَةِ إِثْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.١٠
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.
فَاعْتَرِفُوا الآنَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ آبَائِكُمْ وَاطْلُبُوا مَرْضَاتَهُ، وَانْفَصِلُوا عَنْ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ وَعَنِ النِّسَاءِ الْغَرِيبَاتِ».١١
12 And all the Congregation answered, and sayd with a loude voyce, So will we do according to thy wordes vnto vs.
فَأَجَابَتِ الْجمَاعَةُ كُلُّهَا بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «سَنَفْعَلُ مَا طَالَبْتَنَا بِهِ،١٢
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.
إِلّا أَنَّ الشَّعْبَ غَفِيرٌ، وَالْفَصْلَ فَصْلُ أَمْطَارٍ، وَلا طَاقَةَ لَنَا عَلَى الْوُقُوفِ خَارِجاً مُدَّةً طَوِيلَةً تَحْتَ الأَمْطَارِ، وَلاسِيَّمَا أَنَّ الْعَمَلَ يَسْتَغْرِقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ أَوِ اثْنَيْنِ، لأَنَّنَا تَوَرَّطْنَا بِارْتِكَابِ هَذَا الإِثْمِ تَوَرُّطاً عَظِيماً.١٣
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.
لِذَلِكَ فَلْيَقْضِ كُلُّ رُؤَسَائِنَا لِكُلِّ الْجَمَاعَةِ، وَلْيَأْتِ مِنْ مُدُنِنَا كُلُّ مَنْ تَزَوَّجَ مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ غَرِيبَةٍ، فِي أَوْقَاتٍ مُعَيَّنَةٍ، بِرِفْقَةِ شُيُوخِ مَدِينَتِهِ وَقُضَاتِهَا، فَيَرْتَدَّ عَنَّا احْتِدَامُ غَضَبِ إِلَهِنَا مِنْ جَرَّاءِ خَطِيئَتِنَا».١٤
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.
وَلَمْ يَعْتَرِضْ عَلَى هَذَا الأَمْرِ سِوَى يُونَاثَانَ بْنِ عَسَائِيلَ وَيَحْزِيَا بْنِ تِقْوَةَ، وَأَيَّدَهُمَا فِي ذَلِكَ مَشُلّامُ وَشَبْتَايُ اللّاوِيَّانِ.١٥
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.
وَنَفَّذَ الْعَائِدُونَ مِنَ السَّبْيِ هَذَا الأَمْرَ، وَاخْتَارَ عِزْرَا الْكَاهِنُ رُؤَسَاءَ الْعَائِلاتِ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ وَفْقاً لِعَشَائِرِهِمْ، فَانْفَصَلُوا عَنِ الْجَمَاعَةِ وَجَلَسُوا فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الْعَاشِرِ (مُنْتَصَفِ كَانُونِ الأَوَّلِ – دِيسَمْبَرَ) لِلْقَضَاءِ فِي الأَمْرِ.١٦
17 And vntill the first day of the first moneth they were finishing the businesse with al the men that had taken strange wiues.
وَتَمَّ الْفَصْلُ فِي قَضَايَا كُلِّ الرِّجَالِ الَّذِينَ تَزَوَّجُوا مِنْ نِسَاءٍ غَرِيبَاتٍ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ (آذَارَ – مَارِسَ).١٧
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.
فَوُجِدَ بَيْنَ الْكَهَنَةِ مِمَّنْ تَزَوَّجُوا مِنْ نِسَاءٍ غَرِيبَاتٍ: مِنْ بَنِي يَشُوعَ بْنِ يُوصَادَاقَ وَإِخْوَتِهِ: مَعْشِيَا وَأَلِيعَزَرُ وَيَارِيبُ وَجَدَلْيَا.١٨
19 And they gaue their hads, that they would put away their wiues, and they that had trespassed, gaue a ramme for their trespasse.
هَؤُلاءِ تَعَهَّدُوا بِإِخْرَاجِ نِسَائِهِمِ الْغَرِيبَاتِ مُقَرِّبِينَ كَبْشَ غَنَمٍ تَكْفِيراً عَنْ إِثْمِهِمْ.١٩
