Јездрина 10
1 А кад се мољаше Јездра и исповедаше грехе плачући и лежећи пред домом Божјим, скупи се к њему из Израиља велико мноштво људи и жена и деце; и народ плакаше веома.
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 Тада проговори Сеханија, син Јехилов од синова Еламових и рече Јездри: Ми смо сагрешили Богу свом што узесмо жене туђинке из народа земаљских; али још има надања Израиљу за то.
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 Да учинимо завет Богу свом, да отпустимо све жене и пород њихов по вољи Господњој и оних који се боје заповести Бога нашег, и по закону нека буде.
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 Устани, јер је ово твој посао; а ми ћемо бити уза те, буди слободан и ради.
(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 Тада уста Јездра, и закле главаре свештеничке и Левите и свега Израиља да учине тако. И заклеше се.
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 Потом уста Јездра испред дома Божијег, и отиде у клет Јоанана сина Елијасивовог; и ушавши не једе хлеба нити воде пи, јер тужаше ради преступа оних који бише у ропству.
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 Потом огласише по Јудеји и Јерусалиму свим који се вратише из ропства, да се скупе у Јерусалим,
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 А ко не би дошао за три дана по договору кнезовском и старешинском, да се све имање његово разаспе, а сам да се одлучи од збора оних који се вратише из ропства.
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 Тако се скупише сви људи од Јуде и Венијамина у Јерусалим за три дана, месеца деветог. И сеђаше сав народ на улици пред домом Божјим дрхћући ради те ствари и од дажда.
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 Тада уставши Јездра свештеник рече им: Ви сагрешисте што се оженисте туђинкама, те умножисте кривицу Израиљеву.
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 Зато сада исповедите се Господу Богу отаца својих, и учините вољу Његову, и одвојте се од народа земаљских и жена туђинака.
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 И сав збор одговори и рече гласно: Како нам каза учинићемо.
The whole group answered, shouting loudly, “Yes, what you have said is right! We will do what you have said.”
13 Али народа има много и иде дажд, не може се стајати напољу, а тај посао није за један дан ни за два, јер нас има много који сагрешисмо у том.
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 Да се одреде кнезови наши из свега збора, па који су год у градовима нашим ожењени туђинкама нека долазе у одређено време и с њима старешине сваког града и судије докле не одвратимо жестоки гнев Бога свог за ту ствар.
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 И одређен би на то Јонатан, син Асаилов и Јазија син Текујев; а Месулам и Саветај Левити помагаше им.
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 И учинише тако који се вратише из ропства. И одвојише се Јездра свештеник и главари домова отачких по домовима отаца својих, сви поименце, и седоше првог дана десетог месеца да извиђају ствар.
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 И до првог дана првог месеца свршише са свима онима који се беху оженили туђинкама.
By March 27 of the next year they finished determining which men had married women who were not Israelis.
18 А нађоше се између синова свештеничких ожењени туђинкама између синова Исуса, сина Јоседековог и браће његове: Масија и Елијезер и Јарив и Гедалија;

19 И дадоше руке да ће пустити жене своје; и који беху згрешили принесоше по једног овна за кривицу своју;
