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.
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 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.
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 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, 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 (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).”
Levante-se, pois o assunto lhe pertence e nós estamos com você. Sede corajosos, e fazei-o”.
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 com que os chefes dos sacerdotes, os levitas e todo Israel jurassem que fariam de acordo com esta palavra. Então 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].
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 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.
Eles fizeram uma proclamação em todo Judá e Jerusalém a todos os filhos do cativeiro, para 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 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 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 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 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].
Ezra, o padre, levantou-se e disse-lhes: “Vocês invadiram e casaram com mulheres estrangeiras, aumentando 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, 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 The whole group answered, shouting loudly, “Yes, what you have said is right! We will do what you have said.”
Então toda a assembléia respondeu com voz alta: “Devemos fazer o que você disse a nosso respeito”.
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.
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 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].”
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 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 Jonathan, filho de Asahel, e Jahzeiah, filho de Tikvah, se levantaram contra isso; e Meshullam e Shabbethai, o levita, os ajudaram.
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.
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 By March 27 of the next year they finished determining which men had married women who were not Israelis.
Eles terminaram com todos os homens que tinham casado com mulheres estrangeiras no primeiro dia do primeiro mês.

19 They solemnly promised to divorce their wives, and they each sacrificed a ram to be an offering [to atone] for their sins.
