< عَزْرَا 10 >

فَلَمَّا صَلَّى عَزْرَا وَٱعْتَرَفَ وَهُوَ بَاكٍ وَسَاقِطٌ أَمَامَ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ، ٱجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ جَمَاعَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ جِدًّا مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ وَٱلنِّسَاءِ وَٱلْأَوْلَادِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ بَكَى بُكَاءً عَظِيمًا. ١ 1
So when Esdras [had] prayed, and when he [had] confessed, weeping and praying before the house of God, a very great assembly of Israel came together to him, men and women and youths; for the people wept, and wept aloud.
وَأَجَابَ شَكَنْيَا بْنُ يَحِيئِيلَ مِنْ بَنِي عِيلَامَ وَقَالَ لِعَزْرَا: «إِنَّنَا قَدْ خُنَّا إِلَهَنَا وَٱتَّخَذْنَا نِسَاءً غَرِيبَةً مِنْ شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. وَلَكِنِ ٱلْآنَ يُوجَدُ رَجَاءٌ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ فِي هَذَا. ٢ 2
And Sechenias the son of Jeel, of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Esdras, We have broken covenant with our God, and have taken strange wives of the nations of the land: yet now there is patience [of hope] to Israel concerning this thing.
فَلْنَقْطَعِ ٱلْآنَ عَهْدًا مَعَ إِلَهِنَا أَنْ نُخْرِجَ كُلَّ ٱلنِّسَاءِ وَٱلَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا مِنْهُنَّ، حَسَبَ مَشُورَةِ سَيِّدِي، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ وَصِيَّةَ إِلَهِنَا، وَلْيُعْمَلْ حَسَبَ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ. ٣ 3
Now then let us make a covenant with our God, to put away all the wives, and their offspring, as thou shalt advise:
قُمْ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ ٱلْأَمْرَ وَنَحْنُ مَعَكَ. تَشَجَّعْ وَٱفْعَلْ». ٤ 4
arise, and alarm them with the commands of our God; and let [it] be done according to the law. Rise up, for the matter [is] upon thee; and we [are] with thee: be strong and do.
فَقَامَ عَزْرَا وَٱسْتَحْلَفَ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ وَكُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا حَسَبَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ، فَحَلَفُوا. ٥ 5
Then Esdras arose, and caused the rulers, the priests, and Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word: and they swore.
ثُمَّ قَامَ عَزْرَا مِنْ أَمَامِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى مُخْدَعِ يَهُوحَانَانَ بْنِ أَلْيَاشِيبَ. فَٱنْطَلَقَ إِلَى هُنَاكَ وَهُوَ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ خُبْزًا وَلَمْ يَشْرَبْ مَاءً، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَنُوحُ بِسَبَبِ خِيَانَةِ أَهْلِ ٱلسَّبْيِ. ٦ 6
And Esdras rose up from before the house of God, and went to the treasury of Joanan the son of Elisub; he even went thither: he ate no bread, and drank no water; for he mourned over the unfaithfulness [of them] of the captivity.
وَأَطْلَقُوا نِدَاءً فِي يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى جَمِيعِ بَنِي ٱلسَّبْيِ لِكَيْ يَجْتَمِعُوا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٧ 7
And they made proclamation throughout Juda and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should assemble at Jerusalem, [saying],
وَكُلُّ مَنْ لَا يَأْتِي فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ حَسَبَ مَشُورَةِ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ وَٱلشُّيُوخِ يُحَرَّمُ كُلُّ مَالِهِ، وَهُوَ يُفْرَزُ مِنْ جَمَاعَةِ أَهْلِ ٱلسَّبْيِ. ٨ 8
Every one who shall not arrive within three days, as [is] the counsel of the rulers and the elders, all his substance shall be forfeited, and he shall be separated from the congregation of the captivity.
فَٱجْتَمَعَ كُلُّ رِجَالِ يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، أَيْ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلتَّاسِعِ، فِي ٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، وَجَلَسَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ فِي سَاحَةِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ مُرْتَعِدِينَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْرِ وَمِنَ ٱلْأَمْطَارِ. ٩ 9
So all the men of Juda and Benjamin assembled at Jerusalem within the three days. This [was] the ninth month: on the twentieth day of the month all the people sat down in the street of the house of the Lord, because of their alarm concerning the word, and because of the storm.
فَقَامَ عَزْرَا ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ خُنْتُمْ وَٱتَّخَذْتُمْ نِسَاءً غَرِيبَةً لِتَزِيدُوا عَلَى إِثْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٠ 10
And Esdras the priest arose, and said to them, Ye have broken covenant, and have taken strange wives, to add to the trespass of Israel.
فَٱعْتَرِفُوا ٱلْآنَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ آبَائِكُمْ وَٱعْمَلُوا مَرْضَاتَهُ، وَٱنْفَصِلُوا عَنْ شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَعَنِ ٱلنِّسَاءِ ٱلْغَرِيبَةِ». ١١ 11
Now therefore give praise to the Lord God of our fathers, and do that which is pleasing in his sight: and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the strange wives.
فَأَجَابَ كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ وَقَالُوا بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «كَمَا كَلَّمْتَنَا كَذَلِكَ نَعْمَلُ. ١٢ 12
Then all the congregation answered and said, This thy word [is] powerful upon us to do it.
إِلَا أَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ كَثِيرٌ، وَٱلْوَقْتَ وَقْتُ أَمْطَارٍ، وَلَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا عَلَى ٱلْوُقُوفِ فِي ٱلْخَارِجِ، وَٱلْعَمَلُ لَيْسَ لِيَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ أَوْ لِٱثْنَيْنِ، لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ أَكْثَرْنَا ٱلذَّنْبَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ. ١٣ 13
But the people [is] numerous, and the season [is] stormy, and there is no power to stand without, and the work is more than enough for one day or for two; for we have greatly sinned in this matter.
فَلْيَقِفْ رُؤَسَاؤُنَا لِكُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ. وَكُلُّ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي مُدُنِنَا قَدِ ٱتَّخَذُوا نِسَاءً غَرِيبَةً، فَلْيَأْتُوا فِي أَوْقَاتٍ مُعَيَّنَةٍ وَمَعَهُمْ شُيُوخُ مَدِينَةٍ فَمَدِينَةٍ وَقُضَاتُهَا، حَتَّى يَرْتَدَّ عَنَّا حُمُوُّ غَضَبِ إِلَهِنَا مِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ». ١٤ 14
Let now our rulers stand, and for all those in our cities who have taken strange wives, let them come at appointed times, and with them elders from every several city, and judges, to turn away the fierce wrath of our God from us concerning this matter.
وَيُونَاثَانُ بْنُ عَسَائِيلَ وَيَحْزِيَا بْنُ تِقْوَةَ فَقَطْ قَامَا عَلَى هَذَا، وَمَشُلَّامُ وَشَبْتَايُ ٱللَّاوِيُّ سَاعَدَاهُمَا. ١٥ 15
Only Jonathan the son of Asael, and Jazias the son of Thecoe [were] with me concerning this; and Mesollam, and Sabbathai the Levite helped them.
وَفَعَلَ هَكَذَا بَنُو ٱلسَّبْيِ. وَٱنْفَصَلَ عَزْرَا ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَرِجَالٌ رُؤُوسُ آبَاءٍ، حَسَبَ بُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ، وَجَمِيعُهُمْ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ، وَجَلَسُوا فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ لِلْفَحْصِ عَنِ ٱلْأَمْرِ. ١٦ 16
And the children of the captivity did thus: and Esdras the priest, and heads of families according to [their] house were separated, and all by their names, for they returned in the first day of the tenth month to search out the matter.
وَٱنْتَهَوْا مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُوا نِسَاءً غَرِيبَةً فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ. ١٧ 17
And they made an end with all the men who had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month.
فَوُجِدَ بَيْنَ بَنِي ٱلْكَهَنَةِ مَنِ ٱتَّخَذَ نِسَاءً غَرِيبَةً: فَمِنْ بَنِي يَشُوعَ بْنِ يُوصَادَاقَ وَإِخْوَتِهِ: مَعْشِيَّا وَأَلِيعَزَرُ وَيَارِيبُ وَجَدَلْيَا. ١٨ 18
And there were found [some] of the sons of the priests who had taken strange wives: of the sons of Jesus the son of Josedec, and his brethren; Maasia, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gadalia.
وَأَعْطَوْا أَيْدِيَهُمْ لِإِخْرَاجِ نِسَائِهِمْ مُقَرِّبِينَ كَبْشَ غَنَمٍ لِأَجْلِ إِثْمِهِمْ. ١٩ 19
And they pledged themselves to put away their wives, and [offered] a ram of the flock for a trespass-offering because of their trespass.
