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.
E enquanto Esdras estava orando, confessando, chorando, e prostrando-se diante da casa de Deus, ajuntou-se a ele uma multidão muito grande de israelitas, homens, mulheres, e crianças; pois o povo chorava muito.
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.
Então Secanias, filho de Jeiel, dos filhos de Elão, respondeu a Esdras, dizendo: Nós temos transgredido contra nosso Deus, pois nos casamos com mulheres estrangeiras dos povos da terra; mas quanto a isto, ainda há esperança para Israel.
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.
Agora, pois, façamos um pacto com o nosso Deus, de que despediremos todas as mulheres e os todos os nascidos delas, conforme o conselho do Senhor, e dos que tremem ao mandamento de nosso Deus; e faça-se conforme à lei.
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).”
Levanta-te, porque cabe a ti este negócio, e nós seremos contigo; esforça-te, e age.
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.
Então Esdras se levantou, e fez os chefes dos sacerdotes e dos levitas, e a todo Israel, jurarem que fariam conforme essa palavra; e eles juraram.
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].
E Esdras se levantou de diante da casa de Deus, e entrou na câmara de Joanã, filho de Eliasibe; e depois de chegar lá, não comeu pão nem bebeu água, porque estava entristecido pela transgressão dos que eram do cativeiro.
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.
Então proclamaram em Judá e em Jerusalém a todos os que vieram do cativeiro, que se reunissem em Jerusalém;
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].
E que de todo aquele que não viesse em três dias, segundo o conselho dos príncipes e dos anciãos, fosse tomada toda a sua riqueza, e ele fosse separado da comunidade dos do cativeiro.
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].
Então todos os homens de Judá e de Benjamim se reuniram em Jerusalém em três dias, aos vinte do mês, no nono mês; e todo o povo se sentou na praça da casa de Deus, tremendo por causa deste negócio, e por causa das grandes chuvas.
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].
Assim o sacerdote Esdras se levantou, e lhes disse: Vós transgredistes, por terdes se casado com mulheres estrangeiras, aumentando assim a culpa de Israel.
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.”
Agora, pois, confessai ao SENHOR, Deus de vossos pais, e fazei a sua vontade, e separai-vos dos povos das terras, e das mulheres estrangeiras.
12 The whole group answered, shouting loudly, “Yes, what you have said is right! We will do what you have said.”
E toda a congregação respondeu, dizendo em alta voz: Assim se faça, conforme a tua palavra.
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.
Porém o povo é muito, e o tempo chuvoso, e não há condições de ficar fora das casas; nem esta obra é de um dia ou de dois, porque somos muitos os que transgredimos neste negócio.
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].”
Portanto fiquem encarregados nossos príncipes por toda a congregação; e todos os que em nossas cidades que houverem se casado com mulheres estrangeiras, venham a tempos determinados, e com eles os anciãos de cada cidade, e seus juízes, até que desviemos de nós o ardor da ira de nosso Deus por esta causa.
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.
Somente Jônatas, filho de Asael, e Jazeias, filho de Ticvá, apoiados por Mesulão e o levita Sabetai, se opuseram a isso.
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.
E assim fizeram os que vieram do cativeiro; e foram separados pelo sacerdote Esdras os homens, chefes de famílias, segundo a casa de seus pais, todos eles por nomes, para se sentarem ao dia primeiro do mês décimo, para investigarem este negócio.
17 By March 27 of the next year they finished determining which men had married women who were not Israelis.
E ao primeiro dia do mês primeiro, terminaram [de investigar] os homens que haviam se casado com mulheres estrangeiras.
