以斯拉记 9-10
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
人民与异族通婚
9 “完成这些事以后，众领袖前来见我，说：‘以色列民、祭司和利未人没有从当地的民族中分别出来，他们随从迦南人、赫人、比利洗人、耶布斯人、亚扪人、摩押人、埃及人和亚摩利人行可憎的事。 2 他们为自己和自己的儿子娶了这些外族的女子为妻，以致圣洁的种族与当地的民族混杂了；而领袖和官长竟是这不忠的事的罪魁。’ 3 我一听见这事，就撕裂我的衣服和外袍，拔掉头上的头发和胡须，惊惧地坐着。 4 所有因着以色列 神针对被掳归回的人之不忠、对他们所说的话而战兢的人，都聚集到我面前。我惊惧地坐着，直到献晚祭的时候。
以斯拉认罪祷告
5 “献晚祭的时候，我在禁食中起来，穿著撕裂了的衣服和外袍，双膝跪下，向耶和华我的 神张开双手， 6 祷告说：‘我的 神啊，我感觉羞耻惭愧，不敢向我的 神你仰面；因为我们的罪孽多至灭顶，我们的罪过滔天。 7 从我们列祖的日子直到今日，我们罪恶深重，由于我们的罪孽，我们和我们的王，以及祭司，都被交在各地的列王手中：被刀杀、被掳掠、被抢夺，丢脸蒙羞，就像今天的光景一样。 8 现在，耶和华我们的 神恩待我们片时，给我们存留一些逃脱的人，使我们像钉子钉在他的圣所那样的安稳，让我们的 神光照我们的眼睛，使我们在所受的奴役中稍得复兴。 9 虽然我们是奴隶，但在奴役中，我们的 神仍然没有撇弃我们，反而使我们在波斯列王面前得蒙恩惠，使我们复兴，建立我们 神的殿，重修毁坏的地方，使我们在犹大和耶路撒冷有墙垣。 10 我们的 神啊，现在，我们还可以说甚么呢？只能说：我们又离弃了你的诫命， 11 就是你曾借着你的仆人众先知所吩咐的。你说：你们进去要得为业之地是污秽的，充满了当地民族的污秽，他们可憎的事使这地从这边到那边都充满了他们的不洁。 12 所以，你们不可把你们的女儿嫁给他们的儿子，也不可为你们的儿子娶他们的女儿。你们永远不可寻求他们的平安和他们的利益；这样，你们就可以强盛，吃这地的美物，把这地留给你们的子孙作产业，直到永远。 13 虽然因着我们许多的恶行和重大的罪过，这一切就临到我们身上，但我们的 神啊，你惩罚我们实在轻于我们的罪孽所应得的，还给我们留下这些逃脱的人。 14 我们怎可以再违背你的诫命，与这些行可憎事的民族通婚呢？如果我们这样行，你岂不向我们发怒，消灭我们，以致没有一个剩余，或是逃脱的人吗？ 15 耶和华以色列的 神啊，你是公义的！我们现今才可以留下，成为逃脱的人。看哪，我们在你面前是有罪过的，因此没有人能在你面前站立得住。’”
认罪祷告的结果
10 以斯拉祷告、认罪、哭泣，俯伏在 神的殿前的时候，有一大群以色列人，包括男女小孩，在他面前聚集；众人也都痛哭。 2 属以拦的子孙、耶歇的儿子示迦尼对以斯拉说：“我们对 神不忠，娶了这地这外族女子为妻。虽然这样，以色列现在还有希望。 3 现在，我们应当与我们的 神立约，按着我主和那些因我们 神的诫命而战兢的人所议定的，照着律法而行，送走这些妻子和她们所生的儿女。 4 你起来！因为这事全在你身上，我们支持你，你当坚强地去作。”
5 于是以斯拉起来，使祭司首领、利未人和以色列众人起誓要照着这话去行；他们就起誓。 6 以斯拉就从 神的殿前起来，走进以利亚实的儿子约哈难的屋里去；他在那里不吃饭，也不喝水，因为他为了被掳归回的人的不忠而悲伤。 7 于是，领袖们就在犹大和耶路撒冷向所有被掳归回的人发出通告，叫他们到耶路撒冷聚集。 8 所有不照着众领袖和众长老所议定，在三日之内来到的人，所有的财物都要充公，也要从被掳归回之人的会中被逐出。
9 于是犹大和便雅悯众人，三日之内都在耶路撒冷聚集，那时是九月二十日，众人坐在神殿的广场上；因为这事，又因为天下大雨的缘故，大家就都战栗发抖。 10 以斯拉祭司站起来，对他们说：“你们对 神不忠，娶了外族的女子为妻，增添了以色列的罪过。 11 现在你们要向耶和华你们列祖的 神认罪，遵行他所喜悦的旨意，与这地的民族和外族的女子分离。” 12 全体会众都大声回答说：“你怎么说，我们就怎么行。 13 可是人太多，又逢下大雨的季节，我们不能停留在外面；这又不是一两天可以完成的事，因为我们很多人在这事上犯了罪！ 14 让我们的领袖代表全体会众站在耶和华面前，所有在我们的城中娶了外族女子为妻的人，也都要在指定的日期，与本城的长老和审判官一起来，解决了这事，好使 神因这事所发的烈怒离开我们。” 15 只有亚撒黑的儿子约拿单和特瓦的儿子雅哈谢起来反对这提议，还有米书兰和利未人沙比太支持他们。
16 于是，被掳归回的人就这样行。以斯拉祭司提名选派了一些人，是各宗族的族长，于十月初一他们一同坐下来查办这事。 17 直到正月初一，他们才完成审查所有娶了外族的女子为妻的人。

Ezra 9-10

Ezra 9-10
New International Version
Ezra’s Prayer About Intermarriage
9 After these things had been done, the leaders came to me and said, “The people of Israel, including the priests and the Levites, have not kept themselves separate(A) from the neighboring peoples with their detestable practices, like those of the Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Jebusites,(B) Ammonites,(C) Moabites,(D) Egyptians and Amorites.(E) 2 They have taken some of their daughters(F) as wives for themselves and their sons, and have mingled(G) the holy race(H) with the peoples around them. And the leaders and officials have led the way in this unfaithfulness.”(I)
3 When I heard this, I tore(J) my tunic and cloak, pulled hair from my head and beard and sat down appalled.(K) 4 Then everyone who trembled(L) at the words of the God of Israel gathered around me because of this unfaithfulness of the exiles. And I sat there appalled(M) until the evening sacrifice.
5 Then, at the evening sacrifice,(N) I rose from my self-abasement, with my tunic and cloak torn, and fell on my knees with my hands(O) spread out to the Lord my God 6 and prayed:
“I am too ashamed(P) and disgraced, my God, to lift up my face to you, because our sins are higher than our heads and our guilt has reached to the heavens.(Q) 7 From the days of our ancestors(R) until now, our guilt has been great. Because of our sins, we and our kings and our priests have been subjected to the sword(S) and captivity,(T) to pillage and humiliation(U) at the hand of foreign kings, as it is today.
8 “But now, for a brief moment, the Lord our God has been gracious(V) in leaving us a remnant(W) and giving us a firm place[a](X) in his sanctuary, and so our God gives light to our eyes(Y) and a little relief in our bondage. 9 Though we are slaves,(Z) our God has not forsaken us in our bondage. He has shown us kindness(AA) in the sight of the kings of Persia: He has granted us new life to rebuild the house of our God and repair its ruins,(AB) and he has given us a wall of protection in Judah and Jerusalem.
10 “But now, our God, what can we say after this? For we have forsaken the commands(AC) 11 you gave through your servants the prophets when you said: ‘The land you are entering(AD) to possess is a land polluted(AE) by the corruption of its peoples. By their detestable practices(AF) they have filled it with their impurity from one end to the other. 12 Therefore, do not give your daughters in marriage to their sons or take their daughters for your sons. Do not seek a treaty of friendship with them(AG) at any time, that you may be strong(AH) and eat the good things(AI) of the land and leave it to your children as an everlasting inheritance.’(AJ)
13 “What has happened to us is a result of our evil(AK) deeds and our great guilt, and yet, our God, you have punished us less than our sins deserved(AL) and have given us a remnant like this. 14 Shall we then break your commands again and intermarry(AM) with the peoples who commit such detestable practices? Would you not be angry enough with us to destroy us,(AN) leaving us no remnant(AO) or survivor? 15 Lord, the God of Israel, you are righteous!(AP) We are left this day as a remnant. Here we are before you in our guilt, though because of it not one of us can stand(AQ) in your presence.(AR)”
The People’s Confession of Sin
10 While Ezra was praying and confessing,(AS) weeping(AT) and throwing himself down before the house of God, a large crowd of Israelites—men, women and children—gathered around him. They too wept bitterly. 2 Then Shekaniah son of Jehiel, one of the descendants of Elam,(AU) said to Ezra, “We have been unfaithful(AV) to our God by marrying foreign women from the peoples around us. But in spite of this, there is still hope for Israel.(AW) 3 Now let us make a covenant(AX) before our God to send away(AY) all these women and their children, in accordance with the counsel of my lord and of those who fear the commands of our God. Let it be done according to the Law. 4 Rise up; this matter is in your hands. We will support you, so take courage and do it.”
5 So Ezra rose up and put the leading priests and Levites and all Israel under oath(AZ) to do what had been suggested. And they took the oath. 6 Then Ezra withdrew from before the house of God and went to the room of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. While he was there, he ate no food and drank no water,(BA) because he continued to mourn over the unfaithfulness of the exiles.
7 A proclamation was then issued throughout Judah and Jerusalem for all the exiles to assemble in Jerusalem. 8 Anyone who failed to appear within three days would forfeit all his property, in accordance with the decision of the officials and elders, and would himself be expelled from the assembly of the exiles.
9 Within the three days, all the men of Judah and Benjamin(BB) had gathered in Jerusalem. And on the twentieth day of the ninth month, all the people were sitting in the square before the house of God, greatly distressed by the occasion and because of the rain. 10 Then Ezra(BC) the priest stood up and said to them, “You have been unfaithful; you have married foreign women, adding to Israel’s guilt.(BD) 11 Now honor[b] the Lord, the God of your ancestors, and do his will. Separate yourselves from the peoples around you and from your foreign wives.”(BE)
12 The whole assembly responded with a loud voice:(BF) “You are right! We must do as you say. 13 But there are many people here and it is the rainy season; so we cannot stand outside. Besides, this matter cannot be taken care of in a day or two, because we have sinned greatly in this thing. 14 Let our officials act for the whole assembly. Then let everyone in our towns who has married a foreign woman come at a set time, along with the elders and judges(BG) of each town, until the fierce anger(BH) of our God in this matter is turned away from us.” 15 Only Jonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah, supported by Meshullam and Shabbethai(BI) the Levite, opposed this.
16 So the exiles did as was proposed. Ezra the priest selected men who were family heads, one from each family division, and all of them designated by name. On the first day of the tenth month they sat down to investigate the cases, 17 and by the first day of the first month they finished dealing with all the men who had married foreign women.
