Esdras 10
1 E orando Esdras assim, e fazendo esta confissão, chorando, e prostrando-se diante da casa de Deus, ajuntou-se a elle d'Israel uma mui grande congregação, de homens e de mulheres, e de crianças; porque o povo chorava com grande choro.
While I was kneeling down in front of the temple and praying and crying, I was confessing [the sins that the Israeli people had committed]. Many people, men and women and children, gathered around me and also cried very much.
2 Então respondeu Sechanias, filho de Jehiel, um dos filhos de Elam, e disse a Esdras: Nós temos transgredido contra o nosso Deus, e casámos com mulheres estranhas do povo da terra, mas, no tocante a isto, ainda ha esperança para Israel.
Then Shecaniah, the son of Jehiel from the clan of Elam, said this to me: “We have disobeyed God. [Some of] us have married women who are not Israelis. But we can still confidently expect [Yahweh to be merciful to] us Israeli people.
3 Agora pois façamos concerto com o nosso Deus de que despediremos todas as mulheres, e tudo o que é nascido d'ellas, conforme ao conselho do Senhor, e dos que tremem ao mandado do nosso Deus; e faça-se conforme a lei.
We will do what you, and the others who have an awesome respect for what our God has commanded, tell us to do. We will do what God told us in his laws. We will make an agreement with our God, saying that we will divorce our wives who are not Israelis, and we will send them away with their children.
4 Levanta-te, pois, porque te pertence este negocio, e nós seremos comtigo; esforça-te, e obra.
(It is your responsibility to/Because you are our leader, you must) [tell us what to do]. So get up, and be courageous, and do [what is necessary]. We will (support you/tell people to do what you say).”
5 Então Esdras se levantou, e ajuramentou os maioraes dos sacerdotes e dos levitas, e a todo o Israel, de que fariam conforme a esta palavra, e juraram.
So I stood up and demanded that the leaders of the priests, the [other] descendants of Levi, and all [the other] Israeli people solemnly declare that they would do what Shecaniah said that they should do. So they all solemnly promised to do that.
6 E Esdras se levantou de diante da casa de Deus, e entrou na camara de Johanan, filho de Eliasib: e, vindo lá, pão não comeu, e agua não bebeu; porque estava annojado pela transgressão dos do captiveiro.
Then I went away from the front of the temple and went to the room where Jehohanan lived. I stayed there that night, but I did not eat or drink anything. I was still sad because some of the Israelis who had returned [from Babylonia] had not faithfully obeyed [God’s laws].
7 E fizeram passar pregão por Judah e Jerusalem, e todos os que vieram do captiveiro, para que se ajuntassem em Jerusalem.
Then we sent a message to all [the people in] Jerusalem and [in other towns in] Judah, saying that all those who had returned [from Babylonia] should come to Jerusalem immediately.
8 E que todo aquelle que em tres dias não viesse, segundo o conselho dos principes e dos anciãos, toda a sua fazenda se poria em interdicto, e elle seria separado da congregação dos do captiveiro.
We said that if any of them did not arrive within three days, the leaders of the people would order that all the property of those people would be taken from them, and that they would no longer be considered to belong to the Israeli people; [they would be considered to be foreigners].
9 Então todos os homens de Judah e Benjamin em tres dias se ajuntaram em Jerusalem: era o nono mez, no dia vinte do mez: e todo o povo se assentou na praça da casa de Deus, tremendo por este negocio e por causa das grandes chuvas.
So within three days, on December 19, all the people of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin gathered in Jerusalem. They were there, sitting in the courtyard in front of the temple. They were trembling because it was raining hard and because they were worried [that they would be punished for what they had done].
10 Então se levantou Esdras, o sacerdote, e disse-lhes: Vós tendes transgredido, e casastes com mulheres estranhas, multiplicando o delicto d'Israel.
Then I stood up and said to them, “[Some of] you men have committed a very bad sin. You have married women who are not Israelis. By doing that, you have made us Israeli people more guilty [than we were before].
11 Agora pois fazei confissão ao Senhor Deus de vossos paes; e fazei a sua vontade; e apartae-vos dos povos das terras, e das mulheres estranhas.
So now you must confess to Yahweh, the God whom your ancestors [worshiped/belonged to], the sin which you have committed, and you must do what he wants. Separate yourselves from the people of other nations and from the women from those nations whom you have married.”
12 E respondeu toda a congregação, e disseram em altas vozes: Assim seja, conforme ás tuas palavras nos convem fazer.
The whole group answered, shouting loudly, “Yes, what you have said is right! We will do what you have said.”
13 Porém o povo é muito, e tambem é tempo de grandes chuvas, e não se pode estar aqui fóra: nem é obra d'um dia nem de dois, porque somos muitos os que transgredimos n'este negocio.
But then [one of] them said, “But we are a very large group, and it is raining hard. Also, there are many of us who have committed this bad sin. This is something that we cannot (take care of/handle) in one or two days, and we cannot stand here in this rain.
14 Ora ponham-se os nossos principes, por toda a congregação sobre este negocio; e todos os que em nossas cidades casaram com mulheres estranhas venham em tempos apontados, e com elles os anciãos de cada cidade, e os seus juizes, até que desviemos de nós o ardor da ira do nosso Deus, por esta causa.
So allow our leaders to decide for all of us what we should do. Tell everyone who has married a woman who is not Israeli to come at a time that you decide. They should come with the elders and judges from each city. If we do that, our God will stop being angry with us [because of what we have done].”
15 Porém sómente Jonathan, filho d'Asael, e Jehazias, filho de Tikva, se pozeram sobre este negocio: e Mesullam, e Sabbethai, levita, os ajudaram.
Jonathan the son of Asahel, Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah, Meshullam, and Shabbethai, a descendant of Levi, were the only ones who objected to this.
16 E assim o fizeram os que tornaram do captiveiro: e apartaram-se o sacerdote Esdras e os homens, cabeças dos paes, segundo a casa de seus paes, e todos pelos seus nomes; e assentaram-se no primeiro dia do decimo mez, para inquirirem n'este negocio.
All the others who had returned from Babylonia said that they would do it. So I chose leaders of each of the clans, and I wrote down their names. On December 29, these men came and sat down to investigate the matter.
17 E acabaram-n'o com todos os homens que casaram com mulheres estranhas, até ao primeiro dia do primeiro mez.
By March 27 of the next year they finished determining which men had married women who were not Israelis.
