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
Therefore, as Ezra was praying, and imploring, and weeping in this way, and was prostrate before the temple of God, an exceedingly great assembly of men and women and children was gathered to him from Israel. And the people wept with a great 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 Shecaniah, the son of Jehiel, from the sons of Elam, responded and said to Ezra: “We have sinned against our God, and have taken foreign wives from the peoples of the land. And now, if there is repentance within Israel over this,
3 然ば我儕わが主の教晦にしたがひ又我らの神の命令に戰慄く人々の教晦にしたがひて斯る妻をことごとく出し之が産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
let us strike a pact with the Lord our God, so that we may cast aside all the wives, and those who have been born from them, in accord with the will of the Lord, and of those who fear the precept of the Lord our God. So let it be done, according to the law.
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 up. It is for you to discern, and we shall be with you. Be strengthened and act.”
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
Therefore, Ezra rose up, and he caused the leaders of the priests and the Levites, and all of Israel, to swear that they would act in accord with this word. And they swore it.
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 rose up before the house of God, and he went away to the chamber of Jehohanan, the son of Eliashib, and he entered into it. He did not eat bread, and he did not drink water. For he was mourning the transgression of those who had arrived from the captivity.
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 a voice was sent into Judah and Jerusalem, to all the sons of the transmigration, so that they would gather together in 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 all those who would not arrive within three days, in accord with the counsel of the leaders and the elders, would have all his substance taken away, and he would be cast out of the assembly of the transmigration.
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 so, all the men of Judah and of Benjamin convened in Jerusalem within three days. This was in the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month. And all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of the sin and the rain.
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, rose up, and he said to them: “You have transgressed, and you have taken foreign wives, so that you added to the offenses 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 the Lord, the God of your fathers, and do what pleases him, and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from your foreign wives.”
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 the entire multitude responded, and they said with a great voice: “In accord with your word to us, so let be it done.
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
Yet truly, since the people are many, and it is the time of rain, and we cannot endure standing outside, and this is not a task for one or two days, (for certainly we have sinned greatly in this matter, )
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
let leaders be appointed among the entire multitude. And in all our cities, let those who have taken foreign wives arrive at appointed times, and with them the elders from city to city, and the judges, until the wrath of our God has been averted from us over this sin.”
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
And so Jonathan, the son of Asahel, and Jahzeiah, the son of Tikvah, were appointed over this, and the Levites Meshullam and Shabbethai assisted 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 transmigration did so. And Ezra, the priest, and the men who were the leaders of the families in the houses of their fathers, and all according to their names, went and sat down, on the first day of the tenth month, so that they might 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 made an end with all the men who had taken foreign wives, by 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ュ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 were found among the sons of the priests some who had taken foreign wives: From the sons of Jeshua, the 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
And they swore with their hands that they would cast aside their wives, and that they would offer for their offense a ram from among the sheep.
