< エズラ記 10 >
1 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
And at Ezra’s praying, and at his making confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there have been gathered to him out of Israel a very great assembly—men and women and children—for the people have wept, multiplying weeping.
2 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
And Shechaniah son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, answers and says to Ezra, “We have trespassed against our God, and we settle strange women of the peoples of the land; and now there is hope for Israel concerning this,
3 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
and now, let us make a covenant with our God, to cause all the women to go out, and that which is born of them, by the counsel of the Lord, and of those trembling at the command of our God, and according to law it is done;
4 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
rise, for on you [is] the matter, and we [are] with you; be strong, and do.”
5 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
And Ezra rises, and causes the heads of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear to do according to this word—and they swear.
6 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
And Ezra rises from before the house of God, and goes to the chamber of Jehohanan son of Eliashib; indeed, he goes there, bread he has not eaten, and water he has not drunk, for he is mourning because of the trespass of the expulsion.
7 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
And they cause a voice to pass over into Judah and Jerusalem, to all sons of the expulsion, to be gathered to Jerusalem,
8 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
and everyone who does not come in by the third day, according to the counsel of the heads and the elderly, all his substance is devoted, and himself separated from the assembly of the expulsion.
9 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
And all the men of Judah and Benjamin are gathered to Jerusalem by the third day, it [is] the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month, and all the people sit in the broad place of the house of God, trembling on account of the matter and of the showers.
10 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
And Ezra the priest rises and says to them, “You have trespassed, and you settle strange women, to add to the guilt of Israel;
11 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
and now, make confession to YHWH, God of your fathers, and do His good pleasure, and be separated from the peoples of the land, and from the strange women.”
12 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
And all the assembly answers and says [with] a great voice, “Right; according to your word—on us to do;
13 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
but the people [are] many, and [it is] the time of showers, and there is no power to stand outside, and the work [is] not for one day, nor for two, for we have multiplied to transgress in this thing.
14 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
Please let our heads of all the assembly stand; and all who [are] in our cities, who have settled strange wives, come in at [the] appointed times, and with them [the] elderly of city and city, and judges in it, until the turning back of the fury of the wrath of our God from us, for this thing.”
15 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
Only Jonathan son of Asahel, and Jahaziah son of Tikvah, stood against this, and Meshullam, and Shabbethai the Levite, helped them.
16 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
And the sons of the expulsion do so, and Ezra the priest, [and] men, heads of the fathers, for the house of their fathers, are separated, even all of them by name, and they sit on the first day of the tenth month, to examine the matter;
17 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
and they finish with all the men who have settled strange women to the first day of the first month.
18 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
And there are found of the sons of the priests that have settled strange women: of the sons of Jeshua son of Jozadak, and his brothers, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah;
19 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
