Ezra 10
1 As Ezra prayed and confessed, he wept and threw himself down before God's house. A very great assembly of Israelite men, women, and children gathered to him, for the people were weeping very greatly.
エズラ神の室の前に泣伏して禱りかつ懺悔しをる時に男女および兒女はなはだし多くイスラエルの中より集ひて彼の許に聚り來れり すべての民はいたく泣かなしめり
2 Shekaniah son of Jehiel of the descendants of Elam said to Ezra, “We have been unfaithful to our God and have married foreign women from the people of the other lands. But in spite of this, there is still hope for Israel.
時にエラムの子ヱヒエルの子シカニヤ答へてエズラに言ふ 我らはわれらの神に對ひて罪を犯し此地の民なる異邦人の婦女を娶れり 然ながら此事につきてはイスラエルに今なほ望あり
3 So now let us make a covenant with our God to send out all the women and their children according to the Lord's instructions and the instructions of those who tremble at the commandments of our God, and let it be done according to the law.
然ば我儕わが主の敎晦にしたがひ又我らの神の命令に戰慄く人々の敎晦にしたがひて斯る妻をことごとく出し之が產たる者を去んといふ契約を今われらの神に立てん 而して律法にしたがひて之を爲べし
4 Arise, for this thing is for you to carry out, and we are with you. Be strong and do this.”
起よ是事は汝の主どる所なり 我ら汝を助くべし心を強くして之を爲せと
5 So Ezra rose and made the priestly officials, the Levites, and all of Israel promise to act in this way. So they all took a solemn oath.
エズラやがて起あがり祭司の長等レビ人およびイスラエルの人衆をして此言のごとく爲んと誓はしめたり 彼ら乃ち誓へり
6 Then Ezra rose from before God's house and went to the rooms of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. He did not eat any bread or drink any water, since he was mourning concerning the faithlessness of those who had been in captivity.
かくてエズラ神の家の前より起いでてエリアシブの子ヨハナンの室に入しが彼處に至りてもパンを食ず水を飮ざりき 是は俘囚より歸り來りし者の愆を憂へたればなり
7 So they sent word in Judah and Jerusalem to all the people back from exile to assemble in Jerusalem.
斯てユダおよびヱルサレムに遍ねく宣て俘囚の人々に盡く示して云ふ 汝ら皆ヱルサレムに集まるべし
8 Anyone who did not come in three days according to the instructions from the officials and elders forfeited all of his possessions and would be excluded from the great assembly of the people who had come back from exile.
凡そ牧伯等と長老等の諭言にしたがひて三日の内に來らざる者は皆その一切の所有を取あげられ俘擄人の會より黜けらるべしと
9 So all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled in Jerusalem in three days. It was the ninth month and the twentieth day of the month. All the people stood in the square before God's house and trembled because of the word and the rain.
是においてユダとベニヤミンの人々みな三日の内にヱルサレムに集まれり 是は九月にして恰もその月の廿日なりき 民みな神の室の前なる廣塲に坐して此事のためまた大雨のために震ひ慄けり
10 Ezra the priest arose and said, “You yourselves have committed treason. You lived with foreign women so as to increase Israel's guilt.
時に祭司エズラ起て之に言けるは汝らは罪を犯し異邦の婦人を娶りてイスラエルの愆を増り
11 But now give praise to Yahweh, your ancestors' God, and do his will. Separate from the people of the land and from the foreign women.”
然ば今なんぢらのの先祖の神ヱホバに懺悔してその御旨を行へ 即ち汝等この地の民等および異邦の婦人とはなるべしと
12 All the assembly answered in a loud voice, “We will do as you have said.
會衆みな聲をあげて答へて言ふ 汝が我らに諭せるごとく我儕かならず爲べし
13 However, there are many people, and it is the rainy season. We have no strength to stand outside, and this is not only one or two days of work, since we have greatly transgressed in this matter.
然ど民は衆し 又今は大雨の候なれば我儕外に立こと能はず 且これは一日二日の事業にあらず 其は我らこの事について大に罪を犯したればなり
14 So let our officials represent all the assembly. Let all who have allowed foreign women to live in our cities come at the time that will be fixed with the city elders and the city judges until the raging wrath of our God goes away from us.”
然ば我らの牧伯等この全會衆のために立れよ 凡そ我儕の邑の内にもし異邦の婦人を娶りし者あらば皆定むる時に來るべし 又その各々の邑の長老および裁判人これに伴ふべし 斯して此事を成ば我らの神の烈しき怒つひに我らを離るるあらんと
15 Jonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah opposed this, and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supported them.
その時立てこれに逆ひし者はアサヘルの子ヨナタンおよびテクワの子ヤハジア而已メシユラムおよびレビ人シヤベタイこれを贊く
16 So the people who returned from exile did this. Ezra the priest selected men, the leaders in their ancestors' clans and houses—all of them by name, and they looked into the matter on the first day of the tenth month.
俘囚より歸り來りし者つひに然なし 祭司エズラおよび宗家の長數人その宗家にしたがひて名指して撰ばれ十月の一日より共に坐してこの事を査べ
17 By the first day of the first month they had finished discovering which men had lived with foreign women.
正月の一日に至りてやうやく異邦の婦人を娶りし人々を盡く査べ畢れり
18 Among the descendants of the priests there were those who had lived with foreign women. Among the descendants of Jeshua son of Jozadak and his brothers there were Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah.
祭司の徒の中にて異邦の婦人を娶りし者は即ちヨザダクの子ヱシユアの子等およびその兄弟マアセヤ、エリエゼル、ヤリブ、ゲダリヤ
19 So they determined to send their wives away. Since they were guilty, they offered a ram from the flock for their guilt.
彼らはその妻を出さんといふ誓をなし已に愆を獲たればとて牡羊一匹をその愆のために獻げたり
