Ezra 10

1So when Esdras had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and praying before the house of God, a very great assembly of Israel came together to him, men and women and youths; for the people wept, and wept aloud.Καὶ ὡς προσηύξατο Ἔσδρας, καὶ ὡς ἐξηγόρευσε κλαίων καὶ προσευχόμενος ἐνώπιον οἴκου τοῦ Θεοῦ, συνήχθησαν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἀπὸ Ἰσραὴλ ἐκκλησία πολλὴ σφόδρα, ἄνδρες καὶ γυναῖκες καὶ νεανίσκοι, ὅτι ἔκλαυσαν ὁ λαὸς, καὶ ὕψωσε κλαίων.

2And Sechenias the son of Jeel, of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Esdras, We have broken covenant with our God, and have taken strange wives of the nations of the land: yet now there is patience of hope to Israel concerning this thing.Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Σεχενίας υἱὸς Ἰεὴλ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ἠλὰμ, καὶ εἶπε τῷ Ἔσδρᾳ, ἡμεῖς ἠσυνθετήσαμεν τῷ Θεῷ ἡμῶν, καὶ ἐκαθίσαμεν γυναῖκας ἀλλοτρίας ἀπὸ τῶν λαῶν τῆς γῆς· καὶ νῦν ἐστιν ὑπομονὴ τῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τούτῳ.

3Now then let us make a covenant with our God, to put away all the wives, and their offspring, as you shall advise:Καὶ νῦν διαθώμεθα διαθήκην τῷ Θεῷ ἡμῶν ἐκβαλεῖν πάσας τὰς γυναῖκας, καὶ τὰ γενόμενα ἐξ αὐτῶν, ὡς ἂν βούλῃ· ἀνάστηθι, καὶ φοβέρισον αὐτοὺς ἐν ἐντολαῖς Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, καὶ ὡς ὁ νόμος, γενηθήτω.

4arise, and alarm them with the commands of our God; and let it be done according to the law. Rise up, for the matter is upon you; and we are with you: be strong and do.Ἀνάστα, ὅτι ἐπὶ σὲ τὸ ῥῆμα, καὶ ἡμεῖς μετὰ σοῦ· κραταιοῦ καὶ ποίησον.

5Then Esdras arose, and caused the rulers, the priests, and Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word: and they swore.Καὶ ἀνέστη Ἔσδρας, καὶ ὥρκισε τοὺς ἄρχοντας, τοὺς ἱερεῖς, καὶ Λευείτας, καὶ πάντα Ἰσραὴλ, τοῦ ποιῆσαι κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο· καὶ ὤμοσαν.

6And Esdras rose up from before the house of God, and went to the treasury of Joanan the son of Elisub; he even went there: he ate no bread, and drank no water; for he mourned over the unfaithfulness of them of the captivity.Καὶ ἀνέστη Ἔσδρας ἀπὸ προσώπου οἴκου τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς γαζοφυλάκιον Ἰωανὰν υἱοῦ Ἐλισοὺβ, και ἐπορεύθη ἐκεῖ· ἄρτον οὐκ ἔφαγε, καὶ ὕδωρ οὐκ ἔπιεν, ὅτι ἐπένθει ἐπὶ τῇ ἀσυνθεσίᾳ τῆς ἀποικίας.

7And they made proclamation throughout Juda and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should assemble at Jerusalem, saying,Καὶ παρήνεγκαν φωνὴν ἐν Ἰούδα καὶ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ πᾶσι τοῖς υἱοῖς τῆς ἀποικίας, τοῦ συναθροισθῆναι εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.

8Every one who shall not arrive within three days, as is the counsel of the rulers and the elders, all his substance shall be forfeited, and he shall be separated from the congregation of the captivity.Πᾶς ὃς ἂν μὴ ἔλθῃ εἰς τρεῖς ἡμέρας, ὡς ἡ βουλὴ τῶν ἀρχόντων καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων, ἀναθεματισθήσεται πᾶσα ἡ ὕπαρξις αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτὸς διασταλήσεται ἀπὸ ἐκκλησίας τῆς ἀποικίας.

9So all the men of Juda and Benjamin assembled at Jerusalem within the three days. This was the ninth month: on the twentieth day of the month all the people sat down in the street of the house of the Lord, because of their alarm concerning the word, and because of the storm.Καὶ συνήχθησαν πάντες ἄνδρες Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμὶν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ εἰς τὰς τρεῖς ἡμέρας· οὗτος ὁ μὴν ὁ ἔννατος· ἐν εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνὸς ἐκάθισε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐν πλατείᾳ οἴκου τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀπὸ θορύβου αὐτῶν περὶ τοῦ ῥήματος, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ χειμῶνος.

10And Esdras the priest arose, and said to them, You have broken covenant, and have taken strange wives, to add to the trespass of Israel.Καὶ ἀνέστη Ἔσδρας ὁ ἱερεὺς, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτοὺς, ὑμεῖς ἠσυνθετήκατε, καὶ ἐκαθίσατε γυναῖκας ἀλλοτρίας τοῦ προσθεῖναι ἐπὶ πλημμέλειαν Ἰσραήλ.

11Now therefore give praise to the Lord God of our fathers, and do that which is pleasing in his sight: and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the strange wives.Καὶ νῦν δότε αἴνεσιν Κυρίῳ Θεῷ τῶν πατέρῶν ἡμῶν, καὶ ποιήσατε τὸ ἀρεστὸν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ διαστάλητε ἀπὸ λαῶν τῆς γῆς καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν γυναικῶν τῶν ἀλλοτρίων.

12Then all the congregation answered and said, This your word is powerful upon us to do it.Καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία, καὶ εἶπαν, μέγα τοῦτο τὸ ῥῆμά σου ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς ποιῆσαι.

13But the people is numerous, and the season is stormy, and there is no power to stand without, and the work is more than enough for one day or for two; for we have greatly sinned in this matter.Ἀλλὰ ὁ λαὸς πολὺς, καὶ ὁ καιρὸς χειμερινὸς, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι δύναμις στῆναι ἔξω· καὶ τὸ ἔργον οὐκ εἰς ἡμέραν μίαν καὶ οὐκ εἰς δύο, ὅτι ἐπληθύναμεν τοῦ ἀδικῆσαι ἐν τῷ ῥῆματι τούτῳ·

14Let now our rulers stand, and for all those in our cities who have taken strange wives, let them come at appointed times, and with them elders from every several city, and judges, to turn away the fierce wrath of our God from us concerning this matter.Στήτωσαν δὴ ἄρχοντες ἡμῶν, καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς ἐν πόλεσιν ἡμῶν ὃς ἐκάθισε γυναῖκας ἀλλοτρίας, ἐλθέτωσαν εἰς καιροὺς ἀπὸ συνταγῶν, καὶ μετʼ αὐτῶν πρεσβύτεροι πόλεως καὶ πόλεως, καὶ κριταὶ, τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι ὀργὴν θυμοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐξ ἡμῶν, περὶ τοῦ ῥήματος τούτου.

15Only Jonathan the son of Asael, and Jazias the son of Thecoe were with me concerning this; and Mesollam, and Sabbathai the Levite helped them.Πλὴν Ἰωνάθαν υἱὸς Ἀσὴλ, καὶ Ἰαζίας υἱὸς Θεκωὲ μετʼ ἐμοῦ περὶ τούτου· καὶ Μεσουλλὰμ, καὶ Σαββαθαῒ ὁ Λευίτης βοηθῶν αὐτοῖς.

16And the children of the captivity did thus: and Esdras the priest, and heads of families according to their house were separated, and all by their names, for they returned in the first day of the tenth month to search out the matter.Καὶ ἐποίησαν οὕτως υἱοὶ τῆς ἀποικίας· Καὶ διεστάλησαν Ἔσρας ὁ ἱερεὺς, καὶ ἄνδρες ἄρχοντες πατριῶν τῷ οἴκῳ, καὶ πάντες ἐν ὀνόμασιν, ὅτι ἐπέστρεψαν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ δεκάτου ἐκζητῆσαι τὸ ῥῆμα.

17And they made an end with all the men who had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month.Καὶ ἐτέλεσαν ἐν πᾶσιν ἀνδράσιν οἳ ἐκάθισαν γυναῖκας ἀλλοτρίας, ἕως ἡμέρας μιᾶς τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου.

18And there were found some of the sons of the priests who had taken strange wives: of the sons of Jesus the son of Josedec, and his brethren; Maasia, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gadalia.Καὶ εὑρέθη ἀπὸ υἱῶν τῶν ἱερέων οἳ ἐκάθισαν γυναῖκας ἀλλοτρίας, ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ἰησοῦ υἱοῦ Ἰωσεδὲκ, καὶ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ Μαασία, καὶ Ἐλιέζερ, καὶ Ἰαρὶβ, καὶ Γαδαλία.

19And they pledged themselves to put away their wives, and offered a ram of the flock for a trespass-offering because of their trespass.Καὶ ἔδωκαν χεῖρα αὐτῶν τοῦ ἐξενέγκαι γυναῖκας ἑαυτῶν, καὶ πλημμελείας κριὸν ἐκ προβάτων περὶ πλημμελήσεως αὐτῶν.

23And of the Levites; Jozabad, and Samu, and Colia (he is Colitas,) and Phetheia, and Judas, and Eliezer.Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν Λευιτῶν, Ἰωζαβὰδ, καὶ Σαμοὺ, καὶ Κωλία, αὐτὸς Κωλίτας, καὶ Φεθεΐα, καὶ Ἰούδας, καὶ Ἐλιέζερ.

24And of the singers; Elisab: and of the porters; Solmen, and Telmen, and Oduth.Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ᾀδόντων, Ἐλισάβ· καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν πυλωρῶν, Σολμὴν, καὶ Τελμὴν, καὶ Ὠδούθ.

25Also of Israel: of the sons of Phoros; Ramia, and Azia, and Melchia, and Meamin, and Eleazar, and Asabia, and Banaia.Καὶ ἀπὸ Ἰσραὴλ, ἀπὸ υἱῶν Φόρος, Ῥαμία, καὶ Ἀζία, καὶ Μελχία, καὶ Μεαμὶν, καὶ Ἐλεάζαρ, καὶ Ἀσαβία, καὶ Βαναία.
