< Ezra 10 >

1 Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the house of Elohim, there assembled unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept very sore.
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.١
2 And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our Elohim, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing.
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.٢
3 Now therefore let us make a covenant with our Elohim to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my master, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our Elohim; and let it be done according to the law.
فَلْنَقْطَعِ ٱلْآنَ عَهْدًا مَعَ إِلَهِنَا أَنْ نُخْرِجَ كُلَّ ٱلنِّسَاءِ وَٱلَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا مِنْهُنَّ، حَسَبَ مَشُورَةِ سَيِّدِي، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ وَصِيَّةَ إِلَهِنَا، وَلْيُعْمَلْ حَسَبَ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ.٣
4 Arise; for this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it.
قُمْ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ ٱلْأَمْرَ وَنَحْنُ مَعَكَ. تَشَجَّعْ وَٱفْعَلْ».٤
5 Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they should do according to this word. And they sware.
فَقَامَ عَزْرَا وَٱسْتَحْلَفَ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ وَكُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا حَسَبَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ، فَحَلَفُوا.٥
6 Then Ezra rose up from before the house of Elohim, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away.
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.٦
7 And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;
وَأَطْلَقُوا نِدَاءً فِي يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى جَمِيعِ بَنِي ٱلسَّبْيِ لِكَيْ يَجْتَمِعُوا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.٧
8 And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.
وَكُلُّ مَنْ لَا يَأْتِي فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ حَسَبَ مَشُورَةِ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ وَٱلشُّيُوخِ يُحَرَّمُ كُلُّ مَالِهِ، وَهُوَ يُفْرَزُ مِنْ جَمَاعَةِ أَهْلِ ٱلسَّبْيِ.٨
9 Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of Elohim, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.
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.٩
10 And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel.
فَقَامَ عَزْرَا ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ خُنْتُمْ وَٱتَّخَذْتُمْ نِسَاءً غَرِيبَةً لِتَزِيدُوا عَلَى إِثْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.١٠
11 Now therefore make confession unto YHWH Elohim of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives.
فَٱعْتَرِفُوا ٱلْآنَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ آبَائِكُمْ وَٱعْمَلُوا مَرْضَاتَهُ، وَٱنْفَصِلُوا عَنْ شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَعَنِ ٱلنِّسَاءِ ٱلْغَرِيبَةِ».١١
12 Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do.
فَأَجَابَ كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ وَقَالُوا بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «كَمَا كَلَّمْتَنَا كَذَلِكَ نَعْمَلُ.١٢
13 But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.
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.١٣
14 Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them which have taken strange wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our Elohim for this matter be turned from us.
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».١٤
15 Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah were employed about this matter: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
وَيُونَاثَانُ بْنُ عَسَائِيلَ وَيَحْزِيَا بْنُ تِقْوَةَ فَقَطْ قَامَا عَلَى هَذَا، وَمَشُلَّامُ وَشَبْتَايُ ٱللَّاوِيُّ سَاعَدَاهُمَا.١٥
16 And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain chief of the fathers, after the house of their fathers, and all of them by their names, were separated, and sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
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.١٦
17 And they made an end with all the men that had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month.
وَٱنْتَهَوْا مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُوا نِسَاءً غَرِيبَةً فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ.١٧
18 And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken strange wives: namely, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren; Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
فَوُجِدَ بَيْنَ بَنِي ٱلْكَهَنَةِ مَنِ ٱتَّخَذَ نِسَاءً غَرِيبَةً: فَمِنْ بَنِي يَشُوعَ بْنِ يُوصَادَاقَ وَإِخْوَتِهِ: مَعْشِيَّا وَأَلِيعَزَرُ وَيَارِيبُ وَجَدَلْيَا.١٨
19 And they gave their hands that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their trespass.
وَأَعْطَوْا أَيْدِيَهُمْ لِإِخْرَاجِ نِسَائِهِمْ مُقَرِّبِينَ كَبْشَ غَنَمٍ لِأَجْلِ إِثْمِهِمْ.١٩
