以斯拉記 10
1 以斯拉禱告，認罪，哭泣，俯伏在上帝殿前的時候，有以色列中的男女孩童聚集到以斯拉那裏，成了大會，眾民無不痛哭。
As Ezra prayed and confessed, he wept and threw himself down before God's house. A very great assembly of Israelite men, women, and children gathered to him, for the people were weeping very greatly.
2 屬以攔的子孫、耶歇的兒子示迦尼對以斯拉說：「我們在此地娶了外邦女子為妻，干犯了我們的上帝，然而以色列人還有指望。
Shekaniah son of Jehiel of the descendants of Elam said to Ezra, “We have been unfaithful to our God and have married foreign women from the people of the other lands. But in spite of this, there is still hope for Israel.
3 現在當與我們的上帝立約，休這一切的妻，離絕她們所生的，照着我主和那因上帝命令戰兢之人所議定的，按律法而行。
So now let us make a covenant with our God to send out all the women and their children according to the Lord's instructions and the instructions of those who tremble at the commandments of our God, and let it be done according to the law.
4 你起來，這是你當辦的事，我們必幫助你，你當奮勉而行。」
Arise, for this thing is for you to carry out, and we are with you. Be strong and do this.”
5 以斯拉便起來，使祭司長和利未人，並以色列眾人起誓說，必照這話去行；他們就起了誓。
So Ezra rose and made the priestly officials, the Levites, and all of Israel promise to act in this way. So they all took a solemn oath.
6 以斯拉從上帝殿前起來，進入以利亞實的兒子約哈難的屋裏，到了那裏不吃飯，也不喝水；因為被擄歸回之人所犯的罪，心裏悲傷。
Then Ezra rose from before God's house and went to the rooms of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. He did not eat any bread or drink any water, since he was mourning concerning the faithlessness of those who had been in captivity.
7 他們通告猶大和耶路撒冷被擄歸回的人，叫他們在耶路撒冷聚集。
So they sent word in Judah and Jerusalem to all the people back from exile to assemble in Jerusalem.
8 凡不遵首領和長老所議定、三日之內不來的，就必抄他的家，使他離開被擄歸回之人的會。
Anyone who did not come in three days according to the instructions from the officials and elders forfeited all of his possessions and would be excluded from the great assembly of the people who had come back from exile.
9 於是，猶大和便雅憫眾人，三日之內都聚集在耶路撒冷。那日正是九月二十日，眾人都坐在上帝殿前的寬闊處；因這事，又因下大雨，就都戰兢。
So all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled in Jerusalem in three days. It was the ninth month and the twentieth day of the month. All the people stood in the square before God's house and trembled because of the word and the rain.
10 祭司以斯拉站起來，對他們說：「你們有罪了；因你們娶了外邦的女子為妻，增添以色列人的罪惡。
Ezra the priest arose and said, “You yourselves have committed treason. You lived with foreign women so as to increase Israel's guilt.
11 現在當向耶和華－你們列祖的上帝認罪，遵行他的旨意，離絕這些國的民和外邦的女子。」
But now give praise to Yahweh, your ancestors' God, and do his will. Separate from the people of the land and from the foreign women.”
12 會眾都大聲回答說：「我們必照着你的話行，
All the assembly answered in a loud voice, “We will do as you have said.
13 只是百姓眾多，又逢大雨的時令，我們不能站在外頭，這也不是一兩天辦完的事，因我們在這事上犯了大罪；
However, there are many people, and it is the rainy season. We have no strength to stand outside, and this is not only one or two days of work, since we have greatly transgressed in this matter.
14 不如為全會眾派首領辦理。凡我們城邑中娶外邦女子為妻的，當按所定的日期，同着本城的長老和士師而來，直到辦完這事，上帝的烈怒就轉離我們了。」
So let our officials represent all the assembly. Let all who have allowed foreign women to live in our cities come at the time that will be fixed with the city elders and the city judges until the raging wrath of our God goes away from us.”
15 惟有亞撒黑的兒子約拿單，特瓦的兒子雅哈謝阻擋這事，並有米書蘭和利未人沙比太幫助他們。
Jonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah opposed this, and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supported them.
16 被擄歸回的人如此而行。祭司以斯拉和些族長按着宗族都指名見派；在十月初一日，一同在座查辦這事，
So the people who returned from exile did this. Ezra the priest selected men, the leaders in their ancestors' clans and houses—all of them by name, and they looked into the matter on the first day of the tenth month.
17 到正月初一日，才查清娶外邦女子的人數。
By the first day of the first month they had finished discovering which men had lived with foreign women.
18 在祭司中查出娶外邦女子為妻的，就是耶書亞的子孫約薩達的兒子，和他弟兄瑪西雅、以利以謝、雅立、基大利；
Among the descendants of the priests there were those who had lived with foreign women. Among the descendants of Jeshua son of Jozadak and his brothers there were Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah.
19 他們便應許必休他們的妻。他們因有罪，就獻群中的一隻公綿羊贖罪。
So they determined to send their wives away. Since they were guilty, they offered a ram from the flock for their guilt.
