Esdræ 10
1 Sic ergo orante Esdra, et implorante Deum, et flente, et iacente ante templum Dei, collectus est ad eum de Israel coetus grandis nimis virorum et mulierum et puerorum, et flevit populus fletu multo.
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 Et respondit Sechenias filius Iehiel de filiis Aelam, et dixit Esdrae: Nos praevaricati sumus in Deum nostrum, et duximus uxores alienigenas de populis terrae: et nunc, si est poenitentia in Israel super hoc,
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 percutiamus foedus cum Domino Deo nostro, ut proiiciamus universas uxores, et eos qui de his nati sunt iuxta voluntatem Domini, et eorum qui timent praeceptum Domini Dei nostri: secundum legem fiat.
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 Surge, tuum est decernere, nosque erimus tecum: confortare, et fac.
rise, for on you [is] the matter, and we [are] with you; be strong, and do.”
5 Surrexit ergo Esdras, et adiuravit principes Sacerdotum et Levitarum, et omnem Israel ut facerent secundum verbum hoc, et iuraverunt.
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 Et surrexit Esdras ante domum Dei, et abiit ad cubiculum Iohanan filii Eliasib, et ingressus est illuc, panem non comedit, et aquam non bibit: lugebat enim transgressionem eorum, qui venerant de captivitate.
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 et missa est vox in Iuda et in Ierusalem omnibus filiis transmigrationis, ut congregarentur in Ierusalem:
And they cause a voice to pass over into Judah and Jerusalem, to all sons of the expulsion, to be gathered to Jerusalem,
8 et omnis qui non venerit in tribus diebus iuxta consilium principum et seniorum, auferetur universa substantia eius, et ipse abiicietur de coetu transmigrationis.
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 Convenerunt igitur omnes viri Iuda, et Beniamin in Ierusalem tribus diebus, ipse est mensis nonus, vigesimo die mensis: et sedit omnis populus in platea domus Dei, trementes pro peccato, et pluviis.
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 Et surrexit Esdras sacerdos, et dixit ad eos: Vos transgressi estis, et duxistis uxores alienigenas ut adderetis super delictum Israel.
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 Et nunc date confessionem Domino Deo patrum vestrorum, et facite placitum eius, et separamini a populis terrae, et ab uxoribus alienigenis.
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 Et respondit universa multitudo, dixitque voce magna: Iuxta verbum tuum ad nos, sic fiat.
And all the assembly answers and says [with] a great voice, “Right; according to your word—on us to do;
13 Verumtamen quia populus multus est, et tempus pluviae, et non sustinemus stare foris, et opus non est diei unius vel duorum (vehementer quippe peccavimus in sermone isto)
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 constituantur principes in universa multitudine: et omnes in civitatibus nostris qui duxerunt uxores alienigenas veniant in temporibus statutis, et cum his seniores per civitatem et civitatem, et iudices eius donec avertatur ira Dei nostri a nobis super peccato hoc.
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 Igitur Ionathan filius Azahel, et Iaasia filius Thecue, steterunt super hoc, et Messollam et Sebethai Levites adiuverunt eos:
Only Jonathan son of Asahel, and Jahaziah son of Tikvah, stood against this, and Meshullam, and Shabbethai the Levite, helped them.
16 Feceruntque sic filii transmigrationis. Et abierunt Esdras Sacerdos, et viri principes familiarum in domos patrum suorum, et omnes per nomina sua, et sederunt in die primo mensis decimi ut quaererent rem.
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 Et consummati sunt omnes viri, qui duxerant uxores alienigenas, usque ad diem primam mensis primi.
and they finish with all the men who have settled strange women to the first day of the first month.
18 Et inventi sunt de filiis sacerdotum qui duxerant uxores alienigenas. De filiis Iosue filii Iosedec, et fratres eius, Maasia, et Eliezer, et Iarib, et Godolia.
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;
