Ezra 10

1 Torej ko je Ezra molil in ko je priznaval, jokal in se metal dol pred Božjo hišo, se je tam k njemu iz Izraela zbrala zelo velika skupnost mož, žena in otrok, kajti ljudstvo je zelo hudo jokalo.

Now while Ezra prayed, and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there was gathered together unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept very sore.

2 Jehiélov sin Šehanjája, eden izmed Elámovih sinov, je odgovoril in Ezru rekel: »Pregrešili smo se zoper svojega Boga in si jemali tuje žene izmed ljudstva dežele, vendar je sedaj v Izraelu upanje glede te stvari.

And Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have married strange women of the peoples of the land: yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.

3 Sedaj torej sklenimo zavezo s svojim Bogom, da odslovimo vse žene in tiste, ki so se rodili od njih, glede na nasvet mojega gospoda in tistih, ki trepetajo ob zapovedi našega Boga. In to naj bo storjeno glede na postavo.

Now therefore 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 commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.

4 Vstani, kajti ta zadeva pripada tebi. Tudi mi bomo s teboj. Bodi odločnega poguma in to naredi.«

Arise; for the matter belongeth unto thee, and we are with thee: be of good courage, and do it.

5 Potem je Ezra vstal in pripravil vodilne duhovnike, Lévijevce in ves Izrael, da prisežejo, da bodo storili glede na to besedo. In so prisegli.

Then arose Ezra, and made the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. So they sware.

6 Potem je Ezra vstal izpred Božje hiše in odšel v sobo Eljašíbovega sina Johanána. Ko je prišel tja, ni jedel kruha niti pil vode, kajti žaloval je zaradi prestopka tistih, ki so bili odvedeni proč.

Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib: and [when] he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the trespass of them of the captivity.

7 Naredili so razglas po vsej Judeji in Jeruzalemu, vsem otrokom iz ujetništva, da naj se skupaj zberejo v Jeruzalemu.

And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;

8 In da kdorkoli ne bo hotel priti v treh dneh, glede na nasvet princev in starešin, bo vse njegovo imetje zaseženo in on sam oddvojen od skupnosti tistih, ki so bili odvedeni proč.

and that whosoever came not within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of the captivity.

9 Potem so se v treh dneh vsi možje iz Juda in Benjamina zbrali skupaj v Jeruzalemu. To je bil deveti mesec, na dvanajsti dan meseca, in vse ljudstvo je sedelo na ulici Božje hiše in trepetalo zaradi te zadeve in zaradi velikega dežja.

Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within the three days; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth [day] of the month: and all the people sat in the broad place before the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.

10 Duhovnik Ezra je vstal in jim rekel: »Pregrešili ste se in si vzeli tuje ženske, da povečate Izraelov prekršek.

And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have trespassed, and have married strange women, to increase the guilt of Israel.

11 Zdaj torej naredite priznanje Gospodu, Bogu svojih očetov in storite njegovo voljo in se ločite od ljudstva dežele in od tujih žena.«

Now therefore make confession unto the LORD, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the strange women.

12 Potem je vsa skupnost odgovorila in z močnim glasom rekla: »Kakor si rekel, tako moramo storiti.«

Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, as thou hast said concerning us, so must we do.

13 Toda ljudstva je mnogo in to je čas obilnega dežja in mi nismo zmožni stati zunaj niti to ni delo enega dne ali dveh, kajti mnogo nas je, ki smo se pregrešili v tej stvari.

But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we have greatly transgressed in this matter.

14 Naj sedaj naši voditelji vse skupnosti vstanejo in naj vsi, ki so si v naših mestih vzeli tuje žene, pridejo ob določenih časih in z njimi starešine iz vsakega mesta in njihovi sodniki, dokler kruti bes našega Boga zaradi te zadeve ne bo odvrnjen od nas.

Let now our princes be appointed for all the congregation, and let all them that are in our cities which have married strange women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God be turned from us, until this matter be despatched.

15 Samo Asaélov sin Jonatan in Tikvájev sin Jahzejá sta bila zaposlena okoli te zadeve. Mešulám in Lévijevec Šabetáj pa sta jima pomagala.

Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this [matter]: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.

16 Otroci ujetništva so storili tako. Duhovnik Ezra z nekaterimi vodilnimi očeti, po hiši njihovih očetov in vsi izmed njih po njihovih imenih, so se oddvojili in se usedli na prvi dan desetega meseca, da preiščejo zadevo.

And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, [with] certain heads of fathers’ [houses], after their fathers’ houses, and all of them by their names, were separated; and they sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.

17 In z vsemi možmi, ki so si vzeli tuje žene, so zaključili do prvega dne prvega meseca.

And they made an end with all the men that had married strange women by the first day of the first month.

18 Med sinovi duhovnikov so bili najdeni, da so si vzeli tuje žene, namreč od Ješúvovih sinov Jocadákov sin in njegovi bratje Maasejá, Eliézer, Jaríb in Gedaljá.

And among the sons of the priests there were found that had married strange women: [namely], of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brethren, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.

19 Dali so svoje roke, da bodo odslovili svoje žene in ker so bili krivi, so darovali ovna od tropa za svoj prekršek.

And they gave their hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, [they offered] a ram of the flock for their guilt.
