以斯拉记 10
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
認罪禱告的結果
10 以斯拉禱告、認罪、哭泣,俯伏在 神的殿前的時候,有一大群以色列人,包括男女小孩,在他面前聚集;眾人也都痛哭。 2 屬以攔的子孫、耶歇的兒子示迦尼對以斯拉說:“我們對 神不忠,娶了這地這外族女子為妻。雖然這樣,以色列現在還有希望。 3 現在,我們應當與我們的 神立約,按著我主和那些因我們 神的誡命而戰兢的人所議定的,照著律法而行,送走這些妻子和她們所生的兒女。 4 你起來!因為這事全在你身上,我們支持你,你當堅強地去作。”
5 於是以斯拉起來,使祭司首領、利未人和以色列眾人起誓要照著這話去行;他們就起誓。 6 以斯拉就從 神的殿前起來,走進以利亞實的兒子約哈難的屋裡去;他在那裡不吃飯,也不喝水,因為他為了被擄歸回的人的不忠而悲傷。 7 於是,領袖們就在猶大和耶路撒冷向所有被擄歸回的人發出通告,叫他們到耶路撒冷聚集。 8 所有不照著眾領袖和眾長老所議定,在三日之內來到的人,所有的財物都要充公,也要從被擄歸回之人的會中被逐出。
9 於是猶大和便雅憫眾人,三日之內都在耶路撒冷聚集,那時是九月二十日,眾人坐在神殿的廣場上;因為這事,又因為天下大雨的緣故,大家就都戰慄發抖。 10 以斯拉祭司站起來,對他們說:“你們對 神不忠,娶了外族的女子為妻,增添了以色列的罪過。 11 現在你們要向耶和華你們列祖的 神認罪,遵行他所喜悅的旨意,與這地的民族和外族的女子分離。” 12 全體會眾都大聲回答說:“你怎麼說,我們就怎麼行。 13 可是人太多,又逢下大雨的季節,我們不能停留在外面;這又不是一兩天可以完成的事,因為我們很多人在這事上犯了罪! 14 讓我們的領袖代表全體會眾站在耶和華面前,所有在我們的城中娶了外族女子為妻的人,也都要在指定的日期,與本城的長老和審判官一起來,解決了這事,好使 神因這事所發的烈怒離開我們。” 15 只有亞撒黑的兒子約拿單和特瓦的兒子雅哈謝起來反對這提議,還有米書蘭和利未人沙比太支持他們。
16 於是,被擄歸回的人就這樣行。以斯拉祭司提名選派了一些人,是各宗族的族長,於十月初一他們一同坐下來查辦這事。 17 直到正月初一,他們才完成審查所有娶了外族的女子為妻的人。

Ezra 10
World English Bible
10 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. 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. 3 Now therefore let’s make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives and those who 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. 4 Arise, for the matter belongs to you and we are with you. Be courageous, and do it.”
5 Then Ezra arose, and made the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel to swear that they would do according to this word. So they swore. 6 Then Ezra rose up from before God’s house, and went into the room of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib. When he came there, he didn’t eat bread or drink water, for he mourned because of the trespass of the exiles. 7 They made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together to Jerusalem; 8 and that whoever didn’t come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his possessions should be forfeited, and he himself separated from the assembly of the captivity.
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 wide place in front of God’s house, trembling because of this matter, and because of the great rain.
10 Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, increasing the guilt of Israel. 11 Now therefore make confession to Yahweh, the God of your fathers and do his pleasure. Separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign women.”
12 Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice, “We must do as you have said concerning us. 13 But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand outside. This is not a work of one day or two, for we have greatly transgressed in this matter. 14 Now let our princes be appointed for all the 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 is turned from us, until this matter is resolved.”
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.
16 The children of the captivity did so. Ezra the priest, with certain heads of fathers’ households, after their fathers’ houses, and all of them by their names, were set apart; and they sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter. 17 They finished with all the men who had married foreign women by the first day of the first month.
18 Among the sons of the priests there were found who had married foreign women:
of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers: Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah. 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.
