Ezra 10
1 Now while Ezra prayed, and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there was gathered together unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept very sore.
Agora enquanto Esdras rezava e se confessava, chorando e se jogando diante da casa de Deus, estava reunido a ele fora de Israel uma grande assembléia de homens, mulheres e crianças; pois o povo chorava muito amargamente.
2 And Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have married strange women of the peoples of the land: yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.
Shecaniah, filho de Jeiel, um dos filhos de Elam, respondeu a Esdras: “Nós invadimos nosso Deus e casamos com mulheres estrangeiras dos povos da terra. No entanto, agora há esperança para Israel a respeito disso.
3 Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.
Agora, portanto, façamos um pacto com nosso Deus para prender todas as esposas e os nascidos delas, segundo o conselho de meu senhor e daqueles que tremem ao mandamento de nosso Deus”. Que isso seja feito de acordo com a lei.
4 Arise; for the matter belongeth unto thee, and we are with thee: be of good courage, and do it.
Levante-se, pois o assunto lhe pertence e nós estamos com você. Sede corajosos, e fazei-o”.
5 Then arose Ezra, and made the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. So they sware.
Então Esdras se levantou e fez com que os chefes dos sacerdotes, os levitas e todo Israel jurassem que fariam de acordo com esta palavra. Então eles juraram.
6 Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib: and [when] he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the trespass of them of the captivity.
Então Esdras se levantou de diante da casa de Deus, e entrou no quarto de Jehohananan, filho de Eliasibe. Quando lá chegou, não comeu pão nem bebeu água, pois chorou por causa da transgressão dos exilados.
7 And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;
Eles fizeram uma proclamação em todo Judá e Jerusalém a todos os filhos do cativeiro, para que se reunissem em Jerusalém;
8 and that whosoever came not 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 the captivity.
e que quem não viesse dentro de três dias, segundo o conselho dos príncipes e dos anciãos, todos os seus bens deveriam ser confiscados, e ele mesmo se separou da assembléia do cativeiro.
9 Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within the three days; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth [day] of the month: and all the people sat in the broad place before the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.
Então todos os homens de Judá e Benjamim se reuniram em Jerusalém nos três dias seguintes. Era o nono mês, no vigésimo dia do mês; e todo o povo se sentou no amplo lugar em frente à casa de Deus, tremendo por causa deste assunto, e por causa da grande chuva.
10 And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have trespassed, and have married strange women, to increase the guilt of Israel.
Ezra, o padre, levantou-se e disse-lhes: “Vocês invadiram e casaram com mulheres estrangeiras, aumentando a culpa de Israel.
11 Now therefore make confession unto the LORD, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the strange women.
Agora, portanto, façam confissão a Javé, o Deus de seus pais, e façam o seu prazer. Separai-vos dos povos da terra e das mulheres estrangeiras”.
12 Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, as thou hast said concerning us, so must we do.
Então toda a assembléia respondeu com voz alta: “Devemos fazer o que você disse a nosso respeito”.
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 have greatly transgressed in this matter.
Mas as pessoas são muitas, e é uma época de muita chuva, e nós não podemos ficar do lado de fora. Isto não é um trabalho de um ou dois dias, pois já transgredimos muito neste assunto.
14 Let now our princes be appointed for all the congregation, and let all them that are in our cities which have married strange women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God be turned from us, until this matter be despatched.
Agora que nossos príncipes sejam nomeados para toda a assembléia, e que todos aqueles que estão em nossas cidades que se casaram com mulheres estrangeiras venham em horários determinados, e com eles os anciãos de cada cidade e seus juízes, até que a ira feroz de nosso Deus seja desviada de nós, até que este assunto seja resolvido”.
15 Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this [matter]: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
Somente Jonathan, filho de Asahel, e Jahzeiah, filho de Tikvah, se levantaram contra isso; e Meshullam e Shabbethai, o levita, os ajudaram.
16 And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, [with] certain heads of fathers’ [houses], after their fathers’ houses, and all of them by their names, were separated; and they sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
As crianças do cativeiro o fizeram. Ezra, o padre, com alguns chefes de família de seus pais, depois das casas de seus pais, e todos eles pelo nome, foram separados; e eles se sentaram no primeiro dia do décimo mês para examinar o assunto.
17 And they made an end with all the men that had married strange women by the first day of the first month.
Eles terminaram com todos os homens que tinham casado com mulheres estrangeiras no primeiro dia do primeiro mês.
18 And among the sons of the priests there were found that had married strange women: [namely], of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brethren, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
Entre os filhos dos sacerdotes foram encontrados que haviam se casado com mulheres estrangeiras: dos filhos de Jeshua, o filho de Jozadak, e de seus irmãos: Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, e Gedaliah.
19 And they gave their hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, [they offered] a ram of the flock for their guilt.
Eles deram a mão para que prendessem suas esposas; e sendo culpados, ofereceram um carneiro do rebanho por sua culpa.
