Now when these things were done； the princes came to me； saying； The people of Israel； and the priests； and the Levites； have not separated themselves from the people of the lands； doing according to their abominations； even of the Canaanites； the Hittites； the Perizzites； the Jebusites； the Ammonites； the Moabites； the Egyptians； and the Amorites。
9：2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。
For they have taken of their daughters for themselves； and for their sons： so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands： yea； the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass。
9：3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。
And when I heard this thing； I rent my garment and my mantle； and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard； and sat down astonied。
9：4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。
Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel； because of the transgression of those that had been carried away； and I sat astonied until the evening sacrifice。
9：5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，
And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness； and having rent my garment and my mantle； I fell upon my knees； and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God；
9：6说，我的神阿，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。
And said； O my God； I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee； my God： for our iniquities are increased over our head； and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens。
9：7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。
Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto this day； and for our iniquities have we； our kings； and our priests； been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands； to the sword； to captivity； and to a spoil； and to confusion of face； as it is this day。
9：8现在耶和华我们的神暂且施恩与我们，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。
And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the LORD our God； to leave us a remnant to escape； and to give us a nail in his holy place； that our God may lighten our eyes； and give us a little reviving in our bondage。
9：9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。
For we were bondmen； yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage； but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia； to give us a reviving； to set up the house of our God； and to repair the desolations thereof； and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem。
9：10我们的神阿，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，
And now； O our God； what shall we say after this？ for we have forsaken thy mandments；
9：11就是你藉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。
Which thou hast manded by thy servants the prophets； saying； The land； unto which ye go to possess it； is an unclean land with the filthiness of the people of the lands； with their abominations； which have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness。
9：12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。
Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons； neither take their daughters unto your sons； nor seek their peace or their wealth for ever： that ye may be strong； and eat the good of the land； and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever。
9：13神阿，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。
And after all that is e upon us for our evil deeds； and for our great trespass； seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve； and hast given us such deliverance as this；
9：14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。
Should we again break thy mandments； and join in affinity with the people of these abominations？ wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us； so that there should be no remnant nor escaping？
9：15耶和华以色列的神阿，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，因此无人在你面前删立得住。
O LORD God of Israel； thou art righteous： for we remain yet escaped； as it is this day： behold； we are before thee in our trespasses： for we cannot stand before thee because of this。
旧约 以斯拉记（Ezra） 第 10 章 （ 本篇共有 10 章 ） 7上一章 目录
10：1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。
Now when Ezra had prayed； and when he had confessed； weeping and casting himself down before the house of God； there assembled unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children： for the people wept very sore。
10：2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。
And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel； one of the sons of Elam； answered and said unto Ezra； We have trespassed against our God； and have taken strange wives of the people of the land： yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing。
10：3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。
Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives； and such as are born of them； according to the counsel of my lord； and of those that tremble at the mandment of our God； and let it be done according to the law。
10：4你起来，这是你当办的事，我们必帮助你，你当奋勉而行。
Arise； for this matter belongeth unto thee： we also will be with thee： be of good courage； and do it。
10：5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。
Then arose Ezra； and made the chief priests； the Levites； and all Israel； to swear that they should do according to this word。 And they sware。
10：6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。
Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God； and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib： and when he came thither； he did eat no bread； nor drink water： for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away。
10：7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。
And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity； that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem；
10：8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。
And that whosoever would not e within three days； according to the counsel of the princes and the elders； all his substance should be forfeited； and himself separated from the congregation of th
