Ezra 10
1 While I was kneeling down in front of the temple and praying and crying, I was confessing [the sins that the Israeli people had committed]. Many people, men and women and children, gathered around me and also cried very much.
| پس چون عزرا دعا و اعتراف می‌نمود وگریه‌کنان پیش خانه خدا رو به زمین نهاده بود، گروه بسیار عظیمی از مردان و زنان واطفال اسرائیل نزد وی جمع شدند، زیرا قوم زارزار می‌گریستند. | ۱ |
2 Then Shecaniah, the son of Jehiel from the clan of Elam, said this to me: “We have disobeyed God. [Some of] us have married women who are not Israelis. But we can still confidently expect [Yahweh to be merciful to] us Israeli people.
| و شکنیا ابن یحئیل که ازبنی عیلام بود جواب داد و به عزرا گفت: «ما به خدای خویش خیانت ورزیده، زنان غریب ازقومهای زمین گرفته‌ایم، لیکن الان امیدی برای اسرائیل در این باب باقی است. | ۲ |
3 We will do what you, and the others who have an awesome respect for what our God has commanded, tell us to do. We will do what God told us in his laws. We will make an agreement with our God, saying that we will divorce our wives who are not Israelis, and we will send them away with their children.
| پس حال باخدای خویش عهد ببندیم که آن زنان و اولادایشان را برحسب مشورت آقایم و آنانی که از امرخدای ما می‌ترسند دور کنیم و موافق شریعت عمل نماییم. | ۳ |
4 (It is your responsibility to/Because you are our leader, you must) [tell us what to do]. So get up, and be courageous, and do [what is necessary]. We will (support you/tell people to do what you say).”
| برخیز زیرا که این کار تو است و مابا تو می‌باشیم. پس قوی‌دل باش و به‌کار بپرداز.» | ۴ |
5 So I stood up and demanded that the leaders of the priests, the [other] descendants of Levi, and all [the other] Israeli people solemnly declare that they would do what Shecaniah said that they should do. So they all solemnly promised to do that.
| آنگاه عزرا برخاسته، روسای کهنه و لاویان و تمامی اسرائیل را قسم داد که برحسب این سخن عمل نمایند، پس قسم خوردند. | ۵ |
6 Then I went away from the front of the temple and went to the room where Jehohanan lived. I stayed there that night, but I did not eat or drink anything. I was still sad because some of the Israelis who had returned [from Babylonia] had not faithfully obeyed [God’s laws].
| و عزرا ازپیش روی خانه خدا برخاسته، به حجره یهوحانان بن الیاشیب رفت و نان نخورده و آب ننوشیده، به آنجا رفت، زیرا که به‌سبب تقصیراسیران ماتم گرفته بود. | ۶ |
7 Then we sent a message to all [the people in] Jerusalem and [in other towns in] Judah, saying that all those who had returned [from Babylonia] should come to Jerusalem immediately.
| و به همه اسیران در یهوداو اورشلیم ندا دردادند که به اورشلیم جمع شوند. | ۷ |
8 We said that if any of them did not arrive within three days, the leaders of the people would order that all the property of those people would be taken from them, and that they would no longer be considered to belong to the Israeli people; [they would be considered to be foreigners].
| و هر کسی‌که تا روز سوم، برحسب مشورت سروران و مشایخ حاضر نشود، اموال او ضبطگردد و خودش از جماعت اسیران جدا شود. | ۸ |
9 So within three days, on December 19, all the people of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin gathered in Jerusalem. They were there, sitting in the courtyard in front of the temple. They were trembling because it was raining hard and because they were worried [that they would be punished for what they had done].
| پس در روز سوم که روز بیستم ماه نهم بود، همه مردان یهودا و بنیامین در اورشلیم جمع شدند وتمامی قوم در سعه خانه خدا نشستند. و به‌سبب این امر و به‌سبب باران، سخت می‌لرزیدند. | ۹ |
10 Then I stood up and said to them, “[Some of] you men have committed a very bad sin. You have married women who are not Israelis. By doing that, you have made us Israeli people more guilty [than we were before].
| آنگاه عزرای کاهن برخاسته، به ایشان گفت: «شما خیانت ورزیده و زنان غریب گرفته، جرم اسرائیل را افزوده‌اید. | ۱۰ |
11 So now you must confess to Yahweh, the God whom your ancestors [worshiped/belonged to], the sin which you have committed, and you must do what he wants. Separate yourselves from the people of other nations and from the women from those nations whom you have married.”
| پس الان یهوه خدای پدران خود را تمجید نمایید و به اراده او عمل کنید و خویشتن را از قومهای زمین و از زنان غریب جدا سازید.» | ۱۱ |
12 The whole group answered, shouting loudly, “Yes, what you have said is right! We will do what you have said.”
| تمامی جماعت به آواز بلند جواب دادند وگفتند: «چنانکه به ما گفته‌ای همچنان عمل خواهیم نمود. | ۱۲ |
13 But then [one of] them said, “But we are a very large group, and it is raining hard. Also, there are many of us who have committed this bad sin. This is something that we cannot (take care of/handle) in one or two days, and we cannot stand here in this rain.
| اما خلق بسیارند و وقت باران است و طاقت نداریم که بیرون بایستیم و این امرکار یک یا دو روز نیست، زیرا که در این باب گناه عظیمی کرده‌ایم. | ۱۳ |
14 So allow our leaders to decide for all of us what we should do. Tell everyone who has married a woman who is not Israeli to come at a time that you decide. They should come with the elders and judges from each city. If we do that, our God will stop being angry with us [because of what we have done].”
| پس سروران ما برای تمامی جماعت تعیین بشوند و جمیع کسانی که درشهرهای ما زنان غریب گرفته‌اند، در وقت های معین بیایند و مشایخ و داوران هر شهر همراه ایشان بیایند، تا حدت خشم خدای ما درباره این امر از ما رفع گردد.» | ۱۴ |
15 Jonathan the son of Asahel, Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah, Meshullam, and Shabbethai, a descendant of Levi, were the only ones who objected to this.
| لهذا یوناتان بن عسائیل و یحزیا ابن تقوه براین امر معین شدند و مشلام و شبتائی لاوی، ایشان را اعانت نمودند. | ۱۵ |
16 All the others who had returned from Babylonia said that they would do it. So I chose leaders of each of the clans, and I wrote down their names. On December 29, these men came and sat down to investigate the matter.
| و اسیران چنین کردندو عزرای کاهن و بعضی از روسای آبا، برحسب خاندانهای آبای خود منتخب شدند و نامهای همه ایشان ثبت گردید. پس در روز اول ماه دهم، برای تفتیش این امر نشستند. | ۱۶ |
17 By March 27 of the next year they finished determining which men had married women who were not Israelis.
| و تا روز اول ماه اول، کار همه مردانی را که زنان غریب گرفته بودند، به اتمام رسانیدند. | ۱۷ |
