以斯拉记 9-10
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
9 这事做完了，众首领来见我，说：“以色列民和祭司并利未人没有离绝迦南人、赫人、比利洗人、耶布斯人、亚扪人、摩押人、埃及人、亚摩利人，仍效法这些国的民行可憎的事。 2 因他们为自己和儿子娶了这些外邦女子为妻，以致圣洁的种类和这些国的民混杂，而且首领和官长在这事上为罪魁。” 3 我一听见这事，就撕裂衣服和外袍，拔了头发和胡须，惊惧忧闷而坐。 4 凡为以色列神言语战兢的，都因这被掳归回之人所犯的罪聚集到我这里来。我就惊惧忧闷而坐，直到献晚祭的时候。
以斯拉认罪祈祷
5 献晚祭的时候我起来，心中愁苦，穿着撕裂的衣袍，双膝跪下向耶和华我的神举手， 6 说：“我的神啊，我抱愧蒙羞，不敢向我神仰面，因为我们的罪孽灭顶，我们的罪恶滔天。 7 从我们列祖直到今日，我们的罪恶甚重。因我们的罪孽，我们和君王、祭司都交在外邦列王的手中，杀害、掳掠、抢夺、脸上蒙羞，正如今日的光景。 8 现在耶和华我们的神暂且施恩于我们，给我们留些逃脱的人，使我们安稳如钉子钉在他的圣所，我们的神好光照我们的眼目，使我们在受辖制之中稍微复兴。 9 我们是奴仆，然而在受辖制之中，我们的神仍没有丢弃我们，在波斯王眼前向我们施恩，叫我们复兴，能重建我们神的殿，修其毁坏之处，使我们在犹大和耶路撒冷有墙垣。 10 我们的神啊，既是如此，我们还有什么话可说呢？因为我们已经离弃你的命令， 11 就是你借你仆人众先知所吩咐的说：‘你们要去得为业之地是污秽之地，因列国之民的污秽和可憎的事，叫全地从这边直到那边满了污秽。 12 所以不可将你们的女儿嫁他们的儿子，也不可为你们的儿子娶他们的女儿，永不可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，并遗留这地给你们的子孙永远为业。’ 13 神啊，我们因自己的恶行和大罪遭遇了这一切的事，并且你刑罚我们轻于我们罪所当得的，又给我们留下这些人。 14 我们岂可再违背你的命令与这行可憎之事的民结亲呢？若这样行，你岂不向我们发怒，将我们灭绝，以致没有一个剩下逃脱的人吗？ 15 耶和华以色列的神啊，因你是公义的，我们这剩下的人才得逃脱，正如今日的光景。看哪，我们在你面前有罪恶，因此无人在你面前站立得住。”
民因娶异族女觉罪痛哭
10 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 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 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 你起来，这是你当办的事，我们必帮助你，你当奋勉而行。”
5 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 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 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 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。
以斯拉劝民认罪出其异族之妻
9 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 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 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。”
会众愿遵劝言而行
12 会众都大声回答说：“我们必照着你的话行。 13 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 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 唯有亚撒黑的儿子约拿单、特瓦的儿子雅哈谢阻挡[a]这事，并有米书兰和利未人沙比太帮助他们。
记娶异族女为妻之人
16 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 到正月初一日，才查清娶外邦女子的人数。
18 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 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。 20 音麦的子孙中有哈拿尼、西巴第雅； 21 哈琳的子孙中有玛西雅、以利雅、示玛雅、耶歇、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、以利亚撒。
23 利未人中，有约撒拔、示每、基拉雅（基拉雅就是基利他），还有毗他希雅、犹大、以利以谢。
24 歌唱的人中，有以利亚实。守门的人中，有沙龙、提联、乌利。
25 以色列人，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、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、亚西撒； 28 比拜的子孙中有约哈难、哈拿尼雅、萨拜、亚勒； 29 巴尼的子孙中有米书兰、玛鹿、亚大雅、雅述、示押、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、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、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、示每； 34 巴尼的子孙中有玛玳、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、比拿雅。 44 这些人都娶了外邦女子为妻，其中也有生了儿女的。

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.
