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 |
Now while Ezra was making his prayer and his statement of wrongdoing, weeping and falling down before the house of God, a very great number of men and women and children out of Israel came together round him: for the people were weeping bitterly.
| 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 Shecaniah, the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answering, said to Ezra, We have done evil against our God, and have taken as our wives strange women of the peoples of the land: but still there is hope for Israel in this question.
| فَلْنَقْطَعِ ٱلْآنَ عَهْدًا مَعَ إِلَهِنَا أَنْ نُخْرِجَ كُلَّ ٱلنِّسَاءِ وَٱلَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا مِنْهُنَّ، حَسَبَ مَشُورَةِ سَيِّدِي، وَٱلَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ وَصِيَّةَ إِلَهِنَا، وَلْيُعْمَلْ حَسَبَ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ. | ٣ 3 |
Let us now make an agreement with our God to put away all the wives and all their children, if it seems right to my lord and to those who go in fear of the words of our God; and let it be done in keeping with the law.
| قُمْ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ ٱلْأَمْرَ وَنَحْنُ مَعَكَ. تَشَجَّعْ وَٱفْعَلْ». | ٤ 4 |
Up, now! for this is your business, and we are with you; take heart and do it.
| فَقَامَ عَزْرَا وَٱسْتَحْلَفَ رُؤَسَاءَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاوِيِّينَ وَكُلَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا حَسَبَ هَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ، فَحَلَفُوا. | ٥ 5 |
Then Ezra got up, and made the chiefs of the priests and the Levites and all Israel take an oath that they would do this. So they took an oath.
| 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 |
Then Ezra got up from before the house of God and went into the room of Jehohanan, the son of Eliashib; but when he came there, he took no food or drink, for he was sorrowing for the sin of those who had come back.
| وَأَطْلَقُوا نِدَاءً فِي يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى جَمِيعِ بَنِي ٱلسَّبْيِ لِكَيْ يَجْتَمِعُوا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٧ 7 |
And they made a public statement through all Judah and Jerusalem, to all those who had come back, that they were to come together to Jerusalem;
| وَكُلُّ مَنْ لَا يَأْتِي فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ حَسَبَ مَشُورَةِ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ وَٱلشُّيُوخِ يُحَرَّمُ كُلُّ مَالِهِ، وَهُوَ يُفْرَزُ مِنْ جَمَاعَةِ أَهْلِ ٱلسَّبْيِ. | ٨ 8 |
And that if anyone did not come before three days were past, as ordered by the rulers and the responsible men, all his goods would be put under the curse, and he himself would be cut off from the meeting of the people who had come back.
| 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 |
Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin came together to Jerusalem before three days were past; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people were seated in the wide square in front of the house of God, shaking with fear because of this business and because of the great rain.
| فَقَامَ عَزْرَا ٱلْكَاهِنُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ خُنْتُمْ وَٱتَّخَذْتُمْ نِسَاءً غَرِيبَةً لِتَزِيدُوا عَلَى إِثْمِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And Ezra the priest got to his feet and said to them, You have done wrong and taken strange women for your wives, so increasing the sin of Israel.
| فَٱعْتَرِفُوا ٱلْآنَ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ آبَائِكُمْ وَٱعْمَلُوا مَرْضَاتَهُ، وَٱنْفَصِلُوا عَنْ شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَعَنِ ٱلنِّسَاءِ ٱلْغَرِيبَةِ». | ١١ 11 |
So now, give praise to the Lord, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and make yourselves separate from the peoples of the land and from the strange women.
| فَأَجَابَ كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ وَقَالُوا بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «كَمَا كَلَّمْتَنَا كَذَلِكَ نَعْمَلُ. | ١٢ 12 |
Then all the people, answering, said with a loud voice, As you have said, so it is right for us to do.
| 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 number of people is great, and it is a time of much rain; it is not possible for us to go on waiting outside, and this is not a thing which may be done in one day or even two: for our sin in this business is great.
| 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 |
So now let our rulers be representatives for all the people, and let all those in our towns who are married to strange women come at fixed times, and with them the responsible men and the judges of every town, till the burning wrath of our God is turned away from us, and this has been done.
| وَيُونَاثَانُ بْنُ عَسَائِيلَ وَيَحْزِيَا بْنُ تِقْوَةَ فَقَطْ قَامَا عَلَى هَذَا، وَمَشُلَّامُ وَشَبْتَايُ ٱللَّاوِيُّ سَاعَدَاهُمَا. | ١٥ 15 |
Only Jonathan, the son of Asahel, and Jahzeiah, the son of Tikvah, were against this, Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supporting 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 |
So those who had come back did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain heads of families, by their fathers' families, all of them by their names, were marked out; and on the first day of the tenth month they took their places to go into the question with care.
| وَٱنْتَهَوْا مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُوا نِسَاءً غَرِيبَةً فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ. | ١٧ 17 |
And they got to the end of all the men who were married to strange women 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 among the sons of the priests who were married to strange women were these: of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak and his brothers, Maaseiah and Eliezer and Jarib and Gedaliah.
| وَأَعْطَوْا أَيْدِيَهُمْ لِإِخْرَاجِ نِسَائِهِمْ مُقَرِّبِينَ كَبْشَ غَنَمٍ لِأَجْلِ إِثْمِهِمْ. | ١٩ 19 |
And they gave their word that they would put away their wives; and for their sin, they gave an offering of a male sheep of the flock.
| وَمِنْ بَنِي إِمِّيرَ: حَنَانِي وَزَبْدِيَا. | ٢٠ 20 |
And of the sons of Immer, Hanani and Zebadiah.

And of the music-makers, Eliashib; and of the door-keepers, Shallum and Telem and Uri.

All these had taken strange wives; and some of them had wives by whom they had offspring.
