< Ezra 10 >

1 Now while Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before God's house, there was gathered together to him out of Israel a very great assembly of men and women and children; for the people wept very bitterly.
以斯拉祷告,认罪,哭泣,俯伏在 神殿前的时候,有以色列中的男女孩童聚集到以斯拉那里,成了大会,众民无不痛哭。
2 Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered Ezra, "We have trespassed against our God, and have married foreign women of the peoples of the land. Yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.
属以拦的子孙、耶歇的儿子示迦尼对以斯拉说:“我们在此地娶了外邦女子为妻,干犯了我们的 神,然而以色列人还有指望。
3 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 who tremble at the commandment of our God. Let it be done according to the law.
现在当与我们的 神立约,休这一切的妻,离绝她们所生的,照着我主和那因 神命令战兢之人所议定的,按律法而行。
4 Arise; for the matter belongs to you, and we are with you. Be courageous, and do it."
你起来,这是你当办的事,我们必帮助你,你当奋勉而行。”
5 Then Ezra arose, and made the chiefs of the cohanim, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. So they swore.
以斯拉便起来,使祭司长和利未人,并以色列众人起誓说,必照这话去行;他们就起了誓。
6 Then Ezra rose up from before God's house, and went into the room of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came there, he ate no bread, nor drank water; for he mourned because of their trespass of the captivity.
以斯拉从 神殿前起来,进入以利亚实的儿子约哈难的屋里,到了那里不吃饭,也不喝水;因为被掳归回之人所犯的罪,心里悲伤。
7 They made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the descendants of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together to Jerusalem;
他们通告犹大和耶路撒冷被掳归回的人,叫他们在耶路撒冷聚集。
8 and that whoever did not come within three days, according to the counsel of the officials and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the assembly of the captivity.
凡不遵首领和长老所议定、三日之内不来的,就必抄他的家,使他离开被掳归回之人的会。
9 Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together to 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 God's house, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.
于是,犹大和便雅悯众人,三日之内都聚集在耶路撒冷。那日正是九月二十日,众人都坐在 神殿前的宽阔处;因这事,又因下大雨,就都战兢。
10 Ezra the cohen stood up, and said to them, "You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, to increase the guilt of Israel.
祭司以斯拉站起来,对他们说:“你们有罪了;因你们娶了外邦的女子为妻,增添以色列人的罪恶。
11 Now therefore make confession to the LORD, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women."
现在当向耶和华—你们列祖的 神认罪,遵行他的旨意,离绝这些国的民和外邦的女子。”
12 Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice, "As you have said concerning us, so must we do.
会众都大声回答说:“我们必照着你的话行,
13 But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand outside; neither is this a work of one day or two; for we have greatly transgressed in this matter.
只是百姓众多,又逢大雨的时令,我们不能站在外头,这也不是一两天办完的事,因我们在这事上犯了大罪;
14 Let now our leaders represent the whole assembly, and let all those who are in our cities who have married foreign women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and its judges, until the fierce wrath of our God be turned from us, until this matter is resolved."
不如为全会众派首领办理。凡我们城邑中娶外邦女子为妻的,当按所定的日期,同着本城的长老和士师而来,直到办完这事, 神的烈怒就转离我们了。”
15 Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
惟有亚撒黑的儿子约拿单,特瓦的儿子雅哈谢阻挡这事,并有米书兰和利未人沙比太帮助他们。
16 But the descendants of the captivity did so. And Ezra the cohen selected for himself men, heads of fathers' houses, according to their fathers' houses, and all of them by their names. So they began their sessions on the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
被掳归回的人如此而行。祭司以斯拉和些族长按着宗族都指名见派;在十月初一日,一同在座查办这事,
17 And they finished with all the men who had married foreign women by the first day of the first month.
到正月初一日,才查清娶外邦女子的人数。
18 Among the sons of the cohanim there were found who had married foreign women: of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
在祭司中查出娶外邦女子为妻的,就是耶书亚的子孙约萨达的儿子,和他弟兄玛西雅、以利以谢、雅立、基大利;
19 They gave their hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their guilt.
他们便应许必休他们的妻。他们因有罪,就献群中的一只公绵羊赎罪。
