Esdras 10
1 E enquanto Esdras estava orando, confessando, chorando, e prostrando-se diante da casa de Deus, ajuntou-se a ele uma multidão muito grande de israelitas, homens, mulheres, e crianças; pois o povo chorava muito.
Therefore, as Ezra was praying, and imploring, and weeping in this way, and was prostrate before the temple of God, an exceedingly great assembly of men and women and children was gathered to him from Israel. And the people wept with a great weeping.
2 Então Secanias, filho de Jeiel, dos filhos de Elão, respondeu a Esdras, dizendo: Nós temos transgredido contra nosso Deus, pois nos casamos com mulheres estrangeiras dos povos da terra; mas quanto a isto, ainda há esperança para Israel.
And Shecaniah, the son of Jehiel, from the sons of Elam, responded and said to Ezra: “We have sinned against our God, and have taken foreign wives from the peoples of the land. And now, if there is repentance within Israel over this,
3 Agora, pois, façamos um pacto com o nosso Deus, de que despediremos todas as mulheres e os todos os nascidos delas, conforme o conselho do Senhor, e dos que tremem ao mandamento de nosso Deus; e faça-se conforme à lei.
let us strike a pact with the Lord our God, so that we may cast aside all the wives, and those who have been born from them, in accord with the will of the Lord, and of those who fear the precept of the Lord our God. So let it be done, according to the law.
4 Levanta-te, porque cabe a ti este negócio, e nós seremos contigo; esforça-te, e age.
Rise up. It is for you to discern, and we shall be with you. Be strengthened and act.”
5 Então Esdras se levantou, e fez os chefes dos sacerdotes e dos levitas, e a todo Israel, jurarem que fariam conforme essa palavra; e eles juraram.
Therefore, Ezra rose up, and he caused the leaders of the priests and the Levites, and all of Israel, to swear that they would act in accord with this word. And they swore it.
6 E Esdras se levantou de diante da casa de Deus, e entrou na câmara de Joanã, filho de Eliasibe; e depois de chegar lá, não comeu pão nem bebeu água, porque estava entristecido pela transgressão dos que eram do cativeiro.
And Ezra rose up before the house of God, and he went away to the chamber of Jehohanan, the son of Eliashib, and he entered into it. He did not eat bread, and he did not drink water. For he was mourning the transgression of those who had arrived from the captivity.
7 Então proclamaram em Judá e em Jerusalém a todos os que vieram do cativeiro, que se reunissem em Jerusalém;
And a voice was sent into Judah and Jerusalem, to all the sons of the transmigration, so that they would gather together in Jerusalem.
8 E que de todo aquele que não viesse em três dias, segundo o conselho dos príncipes e dos anciãos, fosse tomada toda a sua riqueza, e ele fosse separado da comunidade dos do cativeiro.
And all those who would not arrive within three days, in accord with the counsel of the leaders and the elders, would have all his substance taken away, and he would be cast out of the assembly of the transmigration.
9 Então todos os homens de Judá e de Benjamim se reuniram em Jerusalém em três dias, aos vinte do mês, no nono mês; e todo o povo se sentou na praça da casa de Deus, tremendo por causa deste negócio, e por causa das grandes chuvas.
And so, all the men of Judah and of Benjamin convened in Jerusalem within three days. This was in the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month. And all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of the sin and the rain.
10 Assim o sacerdote Esdras se levantou, e lhes disse: Vós transgredistes, por terdes se casado com mulheres estrangeiras, aumentando assim a culpa de Israel.
And Ezra, the priest, rose up, and he said to them: “You have transgressed, and you have taken foreign wives, so that you added to the offenses of Israel.
11 Agora, pois, confessai ao SENHOR, Deus de vossos pais, e fazei a sua vontade, e separai-vos dos povos das terras, e das mulheres estrangeiras.
And now, make confession to the Lord, the God of your fathers, and do what pleases him, and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from your foreign wives.”
12 E toda a congregação respondeu, dizendo em alta voz: Assim se faça, conforme a tua palavra.
And the entire multitude responded, and they said with a great voice: “In accord with your word to us, so let be it done.
13 Porém o povo é muito, e o tempo chuvoso, e não há condições de ficar fora das casas; nem esta obra é de um dia ou de dois, porque somos muitos os que transgredimos neste negócio.
Yet truly, since the people are many, and it is the time of rain, and we cannot endure standing outside, and this is not a task for one or two days, (for certainly we have sinned greatly in this matter, )
14 Portanto fiquem encarregados nossos príncipes por toda a congregação; e todos os que em nossas cidades que houverem se casado com mulheres estrangeiras, venham a tempos determinados, e com eles os anciãos de cada cidade, e seus juízes, até que desviemos de nós o ardor da ira de nosso Deus por esta causa.
let leaders be appointed among the entire multitude. And in all our cities, let those who have taken foreign wives arrive at appointed times, and with them the elders from city to city, and the judges, until the wrath of our God has been averted from us over this sin.”
15 Somente Jônatas, filho de Asael, e Jazeias, filho de Ticvá, apoiados por Mesulão e o levita Sabetai, se opuseram a isso.
And so Jonathan, the son of Asahel, and Jahzeiah, the son of Tikvah, were appointed over this, and the Levites Meshullam and Shabbethai assisted them.
16 E assim fizeram os que vieram do cativeiro; e foram separados pelo sacerdote Esdras os homens, chefes de famílias, segundo a casa de seus pais, todos eles por nomes, para se sentarem ao dia primeiro do mês décimo, para investigarem este negócio.
And the sons of the transmigration did so. And Ezra, the priest, and the men who were the leaders of the families in the houses of their fathers, and all according to their names, went and sat down, on the first day of the tenth month, so that they might examine the matter.
17 E ao primeiro dia do mês primeiro, terminaram [de investigar] os homens que haviam se casado com mulheres estrangeiras.
And they made an end with all the men who had taken foreign wives, by the first day of the first month.
18 E dos filhos dos sacerdotes que haviam se casado com mulheres estrangeiras, foram achados estes: dos filhos de Jesua, filho de Jozadaque, e de seus irmãos: Maaseias, Eliézer, Jaribe, e Gedalias;
And there were found among the sons of the priests some who had taken foreign wives: From the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
19 E prometeram despedir suas mulheres e, reconhecendo sua culpa, ofereceram um carneiro do rebanho pela transgressão deles.
And they swore with their hands that they would cast aside their wives, and that they would offer for their offense a ram from among the sheep.
