Ezra 10
1 Now while Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before God’s house, there was gathered together to him out of Israel a very great assembly of men and women and children; for the people wept very bitterly.
當厄斯德拉淚流如注，俯伏在天主殿祈禱認罪時，有很大的一群以色列人，男、女、孩童都聚集在她四周，民眾也都流淚痛哭。
2 Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered Ezra, “We have trespassed against our God, and have married foreign women of the peoples of the land. Yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.
當時厄藍子孫中有一位，即耶希耳的兒子舍加尼雅，發言向厄斯德拉說：「我們由本地異民中娶了外婦女，實在得罪了天主，但對此事為以色列還有希望。
3 Now therefore let’s make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives and those who are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God. Let it be done according to the law.
現在我們與我們的天主立約，離棄這些婦女和她們所生的兒女，全照我主和那些對我們天主誡命起敬起畏者的意見，依照法律行事。
4 Arise, for the matter belongs to you and we are with you. Be courageous, and do it.”
起來! 因為這事全在妳身上，我們支持妳，妳應勇敢去作! 」
5 Then Ezra arose, and made the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel to swear that they would do according to this word. So they swore.
厄斯德拉便起來，令司祭並肋未人首領起誓，必按這話去做；他們就發了誓。
6 Then Ezra rose up from before God’s house, and went into the room of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib. When he came there, he didn’t eat bread or drink water, for he mourned because of the trespass of the exiles.
厄斯德拉遂離開天主的殿，到了厄肋雅史的兒子約哈南的房裏，在那裏過夜，飯也不吃，水也不喝，因為她對充軍歸來者的罪惡悲傷。
7 They made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together to Jerusalem;
首領們遂在猶大和耶路撒冷發出通告，令充軍歸來的人都聚集在耶路撒冷；
8 and that whoever didn’t come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his possessions should be forfeited, and he himself separated from the assembly of the captivity.
照眾首領和長老的議決：凡三日不來者，他的一切財產應充公，他本人也應由充軍歸來的會眾中革除。
9 Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together to Jerusalem within the three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the wide place in front of God’s house, trembling because of this matter, and because of the great rain.
所有猶大和本雅明人，三又內都聚集在耶路撒冷，時在九月日，眾人都坐在天主殿前的廣場上，為了這事和大雨的緣故，都戰戰兢兢。
10 Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, increasing the guilt of Israel.
厄斯德拉司祭起來向他們說：「你們娶了外方婦女而失了信，增加了以色列的罪孽；
11 Now therefore make confession to the LORD, the God of your fathers and do his pleasure. Separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign women.”
現今你們應向上主你們的天主認罪，承行衪的旨意，離開本地異民和外方婦女」。
12 Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice, “We must do as you have said concerning us.
全會眾都高聲回答說：「你怎樣說，我們就怎樣做。
13 But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand outside. This is not a work of one day or two, for we have greatly transgressed in this matter.
但因人民眾多，又兼雨季，我們不能留在露天地裏，何況又不是一兩天能完成的事，因為我們在這事上越規的人實在太多。
14 Now let our princes be appointed for all the assembly, and let all those who are in our cities who have married foreign women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city and its judges, until the fierce wrath of our God is turned from us, until this matter is resolved.”
讓我們的首領為眾會眾負責好了! 凡在我們城內娶了外方婦女人，照指定的時候，同自己城內的長老和判官，一起前來了結此案，直到挽回我們的天主對此事的盛怒」。
15 Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
只有阿撒耳的兒子約納堂，和提克瓦的兒子雅赫則雅，起來反對這種辦法；還有默叔藍和肋未人沙貝泰，支持他們。
16 The children of the captivity did so. Ezra the priest, with certain heads of fathers’ households, after their fathers’ houses, and all of them by their names, were set apart; and they sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
由充軍歸來的子民就這樣做了。厄斯德拉司祭，於是由各家族為自己選擇了一些族長，都的提名指定的。他們便在十月一日，開庭審查此案，
17 They finished with all the men who had married foreign women by the first day of the first month.
直到一且日，方才辦完關於娶外方婦女的男子的案件。
18 Amongst the sons of the priests there were found who had married foreign women: of the sons of Yeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers: Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah.
在司祭中，發現有些人娶了外方的婦女；約匝達克的兒子耶叔亞的子孫和他的兄弟中，有瑪阿色雅、厄里阿厄則爾、雅黎布和革達里雅；
19 They gave their hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their guilt.
