Esdras 10
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
El pueblo reconoce su pecado
10 Mientras Esdras oraba y hacía esta confesión llorando y postrándose delante del templo de Dios, a su alrededor se reunió una gran asamblea de hombres, mujeres y niños del pueblo de Israel. Toda la multitud lloraba amargamente. 2 Entonces uno de los descendientes de Elam, que se llamaba Secanías hijo de Jehiel, se dirigió a Esdras y le dijo: «Nosotros hemos sido infieles a nuestro Dios, pues tomamos por esposas a mujeres de los pueblos vecinos; pero todavía hay esperanza para Israel. 3 Hagamos un pacto con nuestro Dios, comprometiéndonos a expulsar a todas estas mujeres y a sus hijos, conforme al consejo que nos has dado tú, y todos los que aman el mandamiento de Dios. ¡Que todo se haga de acuerdo con la ley! 4 Levántate, pues esta es tu responsabilidad; nosotros te apoyamos. ¡Cobra ánimo y pon manos a la obra!»
5 Al oír esto, Esdras se levantó e hizo que los jefes de los sacerdotes, los levitas y todo el pueblo de Israel se comprometieran, bajo juramento, a cumplir con lo que habían dicho; y ellos lo juraron. 6 Luego Esdras salió del templo de Dios y fue a la habitación de Johanán hijo de Eliasib. Allí se quedó sin comer pan ni beber agua, porque estaba muy deprimido por causa de la infidelidad de los repatriados.
7 Posteriormente anunciaron en Judá y Jerusalén que todos los que habían regresado del cautiverio debían reunirse en Jerusalén. 8 Y advirtieron que a todo el que no se presentara en el plazo de tres días, según la decisión de los jefes y dirigentes, se le quitarían sus propiedades y se le expulsaría de la asamblea de los repatriados.
9 Por lo tanto, a los tres días, en el día veinte del mes noveno, se reunieron en Jerusalén todos los hombres de Judá y de Benjamín. Todo el pueblo se sentó en la plaza del templo de Dios, temblando por causa de ese asunto e intimidados por el aguacero que caía. 10 Entonces el sacerdote Esdras se puso en pie y les dijo:
―Vosotros habéis sido infieles y habéis aumentado la culpa de Israel, pues habéis contraído matrimonio con mujeres extranjeras. 11 Ahora, pues, confesad vuestro pecado[a] al Señor, Dios de nuestros antepasados, y haced lo que a él le agrada. Separaos de los paganos y de las mujeres extranjeras.
12 Toda la asamblea contestó en alta voz:
―Haremos todo lo que nos has dicho. 13 Pero no podemos quedarnos a la intemperie; estamos en época de lluvias y esto no es asunto de uno o dos días, pues somos muchos los que hemos cometido este pecado. 14 Proponemos que se queden solo los jefes del pueblo, y que todos los que viven en nuestras ciudades y se han casado con mujeres extranjeras se presenten en fechas determinadas, junto con los dirigentes y jueces de cada ciudad, hasta que se aparte de nosotros la terrible ira de nuestro Dios por causa de esta infidelidad.
15 Solo se opusieron Jonatán hijo de Asael y Jahazías hijo de Ticvá, apoyados por los levitas Mesulán y Sabetay. 16 Los que habían regresado del cautiverio actuaron según lo que se había convenido. Entonces el sacerdote Esdras seleccionó y llamó por nombre a ciertos jefes de familia, y a partir del primer día del mes décimo se reunió con ellos para tratar cada caso. 17 Y el primer día del mes primero terminaron de resolver los casos de todos los que se habían casado con mujeres extranjeras.

Ezra 10
New King James Version
Confession of Improper Marriages
10 Now (A)while Ezra was praying, and while he was confessing, weeping, and bowing down (B)before the house of God, a very large assembly of men, women, and children gathered to him from Israel; for the people wept very (C)bitterly. 2 And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, spoke up and said to Ezra, “We have (D)trespassed[a] against our God, and have taken pagan wives from the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope in Israel in spite of this. 3 Now therefore, let us make (E)a covenant with our God to put away all these wives and those who have been born to them, according to the advice of my master and of those who (F)tremble at (G)the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the (H)law. 4 Arise, for this matter is your responsibility. We also are with you. (I)Be of good courage, and do it.”
5 Then Ezra arose, and made the leaders of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel (J)swear an oath that they would do according to this word. So they swore an oath. 6 Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib; and when he came there, he (K)ate no bread and drank no water, for he mourned because of the guilt of those from the captivity.
7 And they issued a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the descendants of the captivity, that they must gather at Jerusalem, 8 and that whoever would not come within three days, according to the instructions of the leaders and elders, all his property would be confiscated, and he himself would be separated from the assembly of those from the captivity.
9 So all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered at Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month; and (L)all the people sat in the open square of the house of God, trembling because of this matter and because of heavy rain. 10 Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have [b]transgressed and [c]have taken pagan wives, adding to the guilt of Israel. 11 Now therefore, (M)make confession to the Lord God of your fathers, and do His will; (N)separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the pagan wives.”
12 Then all the assembly answered and said with a loud voice, “Yes! As you have said, so we must do. 13 But there are many people; it is the season for heavy rain, and we are not able to stand outside. Nor is this the work of one or two days, for there are many of us who have transgressed in this matter. 14 Please, let the leaders of our entire assembly stand; and let all those in our cities who have taken pagan wives come at appointed times, together with the elders and judges of their cities, until (O)the fierce wrath of our God is turned away from us in this matter.” 15 Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah opposed this, and (P)Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite gave them support.
16 Then the descendants of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain (Q)heads of the fathers’ households, were set apart by the fathers’ households, each of them by name; and they sat down on the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter. 17 By the first day of the first month they finished questioning all the men who had taken pagan wives.
Pagan Wives Put Away
18 And among the sons of the priests who had taken pagan wives the following were found of the sons of (R)Jeshua the son of [d]Jozadak, and his brothers: Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah. 19 And they (S)gave their promise that they would put away their wives; and being (T)guilty, they presented a ram of the flock as their (U)trespass offering.
20 Also of the sons of Immer: Hanani and Zebadiah; 21 of the sons of Harim: Maaseiah, Elijah, Shemaiah, Jehiel, and Uzziah; 22 of the sons of Pashhur: Elioenai, Maaseiah, Ishmael, Nethanel, Jozabad, and Elasah.
23 Also of the Levites: Jozabad, Shimei, Kelaiah (the same is Kelita), Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer.
24 Also of the singers: Eliashib; and of the gatekeepers: Shallum, Telem, and Uri.
25 And others of Israel: of the (V)sons of Parosh: Ramiah, Jeziah, Malchiah, Mijamin, Eleazar, Malchijah, and Benaiah; 26 of the sons of Elam: Mattaniah, Zechariah, Jehiel, Abdi, Jeremoth, and Eliah; 27 of the sons of Zattu: Elioenai, Eliashib, Mattaniah, Jeremoth, Zabad, and Aziza; 28 of the (W)sons of Bebai: Jehohanan, Hananiah, Zabbai, and Athlai; 29 of the sons of Bani: Meshullam, Malluch, Adaiah, Jashub, Sheal, and [e]Ramoth; 30 of the (X)sons of Pahath-Moab: Adna, Chelal, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattaniah, Bezalel, Binnui, and Manasseh; 31 of the sons of Harim: Eliezer, Ishijah, Malchijah, Shemaiah, Shimeon, 32 Benjamin, Malluch, and Shemariah; 33 of the sons of Hashum: Mattenai, Mattattah, Zabad, Eliphelet, Jeremai, Manasseh, and Shimei; 34 of the sons of Bani: Maadai, Amram, Uel, 35 Benaiah, Bedeiah, [f]Cheluh, 36 Vaniah, Meremoth, Eliashib, 37 Mattaniah, Mattenai, [g]Jaasai, 38 Bani, Binnui, Shimei, 39 Shelemiah, Nathan, Adaiah, 40 Machnadebai, Shashai, Sharai, 41 Azarel, Shelemiah, Shemariah, 42 Shallum, Amariah, and Joseph; 43 of the sons of Nebo: Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina, [h]Jaddai, Joel, and Benaiah.
44 All these had taken pagan wives, and some of them had wives by whom they had children.

以斯拉记 10
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
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。
娶异族女子为妻者的名单
18 在祭司子孙中,娶了外族的女子为妻的有耶书亚的子孙,约萨达的儿子和他的兄弟玛西雅、以利以谢、雅立、基大利。 19 他们举手起誓要送走他们的妻子,并献赎罪祭。他们就献上一只公绵羊,作他们的赎罪祭。 20 音麦的子孙中,有哈拿尼和西巴第雅。 21 哈琳的子孙中,有玛西雅、以利雅、示玛雅、耶歇和乌西雅。 22 巴施户珥的子孙中,有以利约乃、玛西雅、以实玛利、拿坦业、约撒拔和以利亚撒。
23 利未人中有约撒拔、示每、基拉雅(又叫基利他),还有毘他希雅、犹大和以利以谢。
24 歌唱者中,有以利亚实。守门的人中,有沙龙、提联和乌利。
25 属以色列人的巴录的子孙中,有拉米、耶西雅、玛基雅、米雅民、以利亚撒、玛基雅、比拿雅。 26 以拦的子孙中,有玛他尼、撒迦利亚、耶歇、押底、耶利末和以利雅。 27 萨土的子孙中,有以利约乃、以利亚实、玛他尼、耶利末、撒拔和亚西撒。 28 比拜的子孙中,有约哈难、哈拿尼雅、萨拜和亚勒。 29 巴尼的子孙中,有米书兰、玛鹿、亚大雅、雅述、示押和耶利末。 30 巴哈.摩押的子孙中,有阿底拿、基拉、比拿雅、玛西雅、玛他尼、比撒列、宾内和玛拿西。 31 哈琳的子孙中,有以利以谢、伊示雅、玛基雅、示玛雅、西缅、 32 便雅悯、玛鹿和示玛利雅。 33 哈顺的子孙中,有玛特乃、玛达他、撒拔、以利法列、耶利买、玛拿西和示每。 34 巴尼的子孙中,有玛代、暗兰、乌益、 35 比拿雅、比底雅、基禄、 36 瓦尼雅、米利末、以利亚实、 37 玛他尼、玛特乃、雅扫、 38 巴尼、宾内、示每、 39 示利米雅、拿单、亚大雅、 40 玛拿底拜、沙赛、沙赖、 41 亚萨利、示利米雅、示玛利雅、 42 沙龙、亚玛利雅、约瑟。 43 尼波的子孙中,有耶利、玛他提雅、撒拔、西比拿、雅玳、约珥和比拿雅。 44 这些人都娶了外族的女子为妻,但他们都把妻子和儿女送走了(本节经文残缺,意义难确定,或译:“有的妻子也生了儿女”)。
Ezra 10
New International Version
The People’s Confession of Sin
10 While Ezra was praying and confessing,(A) weeping(B) 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,(C) said to Ezra, “We have been unfaithful(D) to our God by marrying foreign women from the peoples around us. But in spite of this, there is still hope for Israel.(E) 3 Now let us make a covenant(F) before our God to send away(G) 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(H) 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,(I) 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(J) 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(K) the priest stood up and said to them, “You have been unfaithful; you have married foreign women, adding to Israel’s guilt.(L) 11 Now honor[a] the Lord, the God of your ancestors, and do his will. Separate yourselves from the peoples around you and from your foreign wives.”(M)
12 The whole assembly responded with a loud voice:(N) “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(O) of each town, until the fierce anger(P) 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(Q) 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.
