Esdras 10
1 Agora enquanto Esdras rezava e se confessava, chorando e se jogando diante da casa de Deus, estava reunido a ele fora de Israel uma grande assembléia de homens, mulheres e crianças; pois o povo chorava muito amargamente.
And while Ezra prayed, and made confession, weeping and falling down before the house of God, there were gathered to him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children; for the people wept very much.
2 Shecaniah, filho de Jeiel, um dos filhos de Elam, respondeu a Esdras: “Nós invadimos nosso Deus e casamos com mulheres estrangeiras dos povos da terra. No entanto, agora há esperança para Israel a respeito disso.
And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Ezra, We have acted unfaithfully toward our God, and have taken foreign wives of the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.
3 Agora, portanto, façamos um pacto com nosso Deus para prender todas as esposas e os nascidos delas, segundo o conselho de meu senhor e daqueles que tremem ao mandamento de nosso Deus”. Que isso seja feito de acordo com a lei.
And now let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of [my] lord, and of those that tremble at the commandments of our God; and let it be done according to the law.
4 Levante-se, pois o assunto lhe pertence e nós estamos com você. Sede corajosos, e fazei-o”.
Arise, for this matter is incumbent on thee, and we will be with thee: be of good courage, and do [it].
5 Então Esdras se levantou e fez com que os chefes dos sacerdotes, os levitas e todo Israel jurassem que fariam de acordo com esta palavra. Então eles juraram.
Then Ezra arose, and made the chiefs of the priests, of the Levites, and of all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. And they swore.
6 Então Esdras se levantou de diante da casa de Deus, e entrou no quarto de Jehohananan, filho de Eliasibe. Quando lá chegou, não comeu pão nem bebeu água, pois chorou por causa da transgressão dos exilados.
And Ezra arose from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib; and when he came thither, he ate no bread and drank no water; for he mourned because of the unfaithfulness of them that had been carried away.
7 Eles fizeram uma proclamação em todo Judá e Jerusalém a todos os filhos do cativeiro, para que se reunissem em Jerusalém;
And they made proclamation in Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;
8 e que quem não viesse dentro de três dias, segundo o conselho dos príncipes e dos anciãos, todos os seus bens deveriam ser confiscados, e ele mesmo se separou da assembléia do cativeiro.
and that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be confiscated, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.
9 Então todos os homens de Judá e Benjamim se reuniram em Jerusalém nos três dias seguintes. Era o nono mês, no vigésimo dia do mês; e todo o povo se sentou no amplo lugar em frente à casa de Deus, tremendo por causa deste assunto, e por causa da grande chuva.
Then were all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered together at Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month; and all the people sat in the open space of the house of God, trembling because of the matter, and because of the pouring rain.
10 Ezra, o padre, levantou-se e disse-lhes: “Vocês invadiram e casaram com mulheres estrangeiras, aumentando a culpa de Israel.
And Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, Ye have acted unfaithfully, and have taken foreign wives, to increase the trespass of Israel.
11 Agora, portanto, façam confissão a Javé, o Deus de seus pais, e façam o seu prazer. Separai-vos dos povos da terra e das mulheres estrangeiras”.
And now make confession to Jehovah the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure, and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign wives.
12 Então toda a assembléia respondeu com voz alta: “Devemos fazer o que você disse a nosso respeito”.
And the whole congregation answered and said with a loud voice, Yes, it is for us to do according to thy words.
13 Mas as pessoas são muitas, e é uma época de muita chuva, e nós não podemos ficar do lado de fora. Isto não é um trabalho de um ou dois dias, pois já transgredimos muito neste assunto.
But the people are many, and it is a time of pouring rain, and it is not possible to stand without: neither is this a work for one day or two; for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.
14 Agora que nossos príncipes sejam nomeados para toda a assembléia, e que todos aqueles que estão em nossas cidades que se casaram com mulheres estrangeiras venham em horários determinados, e com eles os anciãos de cada cidade e seus juízes, até que a ira feroz de nosso Deus seja desviada de nós, até que este assunto seja resolvido”.
Let now our princes, while this matter is going on, stand for all the congregation, and let all those that have taken foreign wives in our cities come at the appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce anger of our God be turned from us.
15 Somente Jonathan, filho de Asahel, e Jahzeiah, filho de Tikvah, se levantaram contra isso; e Meshullam e Shabbethai, o levita, os ajudaram.
Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
16 As crianças do cativeiro o fizeram. Ezra, o padre, com alguns chefes de família de seus pais, depois das casas de seus pais, e todos eles pelo nome, foram separados; e eles se sentaram no primeiro dia do décimo mês para examinar o assunto.
And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest [and] certain of the chief fathers were separated according to their fathers' houses, and all of them [expressed] by name; and they sat down on the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
17 Eles terminaram com todos os homens que tinham casado com mulheres estrangeiras no primeiro dia do primeiro mês.
And they ended with all the men that had taken foreign wives by the first day of the first month.
18 Entre os filhos dos sacerdotes foram encontrados que haviam se casado com mulheres estrangeiras: dos filhos de Jeshua, o filho de Jozadak, e de seus irmãos: Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, e Gedaliah.
And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken foreign wives, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren: Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
19 Eles deram a mão para que prendessem suas esposas; e sendo culpados, ofereceram um carneiro do rebanho por sua culpa.
And they gave their hand to send away their wives; and they offered a ram of the flock, as trespass-offering for their guilt.
