에스라 10

1에스라가 하나님의 전 앞에 엎드려 울며 기도하여 죄를 자복할 때에 많은 백성이 심히 통곡하매 이스라엘 중에서 백성의 남녀와 어린 아이의 큰 무리가 그 앞에 모인지라 2엘람 자손 중 여히엘의 아들 스가냐가 에스라에게 이르되 우리가 우리 하나님께 범죄하여 이 땅 이방 여자를 취하여 아내를 삼았으나 이스라엘에게 오히려 소망이 있나니 3곧 내 주의 교훈을 좇으며 우리 하나님의 명령을 떨며 준행하는 자의 의논을 좇아 이 모든 아내와 그 소생을 다 내어 보내기로 우리 하나님과 언약을 세우고 율법대로 행할 것이라 4이는 당신의 주장할 일이니 일어나소서 우리가 도우리니 힘써 행하소서 5이에 에스라가 일어나 제사장들과 레위 사람들과 온 이스라엘에게 이 말대로 행하기를 맹세하게 하매 무리가 맹세하는지라 6이에 에스라가 하나님의 전 앞에서 일어나 엘리아십의 아들 여호하난의 방으로 들어가니라 저가 들어가서 사로잡혔던 자의 죄를 근심하여 떡도 먹지 아니하며 물도 마시지 아니하더니 7유다와 예루살렘의 사로잡혔던 자의 자손들에게 공포하기를 너희는 예루살렘으로 모이라 8누구든지 방백들과 장로들의 훈시를 좇아 삼 일 내에 오지 아니하면 그 재산을 적몰하고 사로잡혔던 자의 회에서 쫓아내리라 하매 9유다와 베냐민 모든 사람이 삼 일 내에 예루살렘에 모이니 때는 구월 이십일이라 무리가 하나님의 전 앞 광장에 앉아서 이 일과 비를 인하여 떨더니 10제사장 에스라가 일어서서 저희에게 이르되 너희가 범죄하여 이방 여자로 아내를 삼아 이스라엘의 죄를 더하게 하였으니 11이제 너희 열조의 하나님 앞에서 죄를 자복하고 그 뜻대로 행하여 이 땅 족속들과 이방 여인을 끊어 버리라 12회 무리가 큰 소리로 대답하여 가로되 당신의 말씀대로 우리가 마땅히 행할 것이니이다 13그러나 백성이 많고 또 큰 비가 내리는 때니 능히 밖에 서지 못할 것이요 우리가 이 일로 크게 범죄하였은즉 하루 이틀에 할 일이 아니오니 14이제 온 회중을 위하여 우리 방백들을 세우고 우리 모든 성읍에 이방 여자에게 장가든 자는 다 기한에 본성 장로들과 재판장과 함께 오게하여 우리 하나님의 이 일로 인하신 진노가 우리에게서 떠나게 하소서 하나 15오직 아사헬의 아들 요나단과 디과의 아들 야스야가 일어나 그 일을 반대하고 므술람과 레위 사람 삽브대가 저희를 돕더라 16사로잡혔던 자의 자손이 그대로 한지라 제사장 에스라가 그 종족을 따라 각기 지명된 족장 몇 사람을 위임하고 시월 초하루에 앉아 그 일을 조사하여 17정월 초하루에 이르러 이방 여인을 취한 자의 일 조사하기를 마치니라 18제사장의 무리 중에 이방 여인을 취한 자는 예수아 자손 중 요사닥의 아들과 그 형제 마아세야와 엘리에셀과 야립과 그달랴라 19저희가 다 손을 잡아 맹세하여 그 아내를 보내기로 하고 또 그 죄를 인하여 수양 하나를 속건제로 드렸으며 20또 임멜 자손 중에는 하나니와 스바댜요 21하림 자손 중에는 마아세야와 엘리야와 스마야와 여히엘과 웃시야요 22바스훌 자손 중에는 엘료에내와 마아세야와 이스마엘과 느다넬과 요사밧과 엘라사였더라 23레위 사람 중에는 요사밧과 시므이와 글라야라 하는 글리다와 브다히야와 유다와 엘리에셀이었더라 24노래하는 자 중에는 엘리아십이요 문지기 중에는 살룸과 델렘과 우리였더라 25이스라엘 중에는 바로스 자손 중 라먀와 잇시야와 말기야와 미야민과 엘르아살과 말기야와 브나야요 26엘람 자손 중 맛다냐와 스가랴와 여히엘과 압디와 여레못과 엘리야요 27삿두 자손 중 엘료에내와 엘리아십과 맛다냐와 여레못과 사밧과 아시사요 28베배 자손 중 여호하난과 하나냐와 삽배와 아들래요 29바니 자손 중 므술람과 말룩과 아다야와 야숩과 스알과 여레못이요 30바핫모압 자손 중 앗나와 글랄과 브나야와 마아세야와 맛다냐와 브사렐과 빈누이와 므낫세요 31하림 자손 중 엘리에셀과 잇시야와 말기야와 스마야와 시므온과 32베냐민과 말룩과 스마랴요 33하숨 자손 중 맛드내와 맛닷다와 사밧과 엘리벨렛과 여레매와 므낫세와 시므이요 34바니 자손 중 마아대와 아므람과 우엘과 35브나야와 베드야와 글루히와 36와냐와 므레못과 에랴십과 37맛다냐와 맛드내와 야아수와 38바니와 빈누이와 시므이와 39셀레먀와 나단과 아다야와 40막나드배와 사새와 사래와 41아사렐과 셀레먀와 스마랴와 42살룸과 아마랴와 요셉이요 43느보 자손 중 여이엘과 맛디디야와 사밧과 스비내와 잇도와 요엘과 브나야였더라 44이상은 모두 이방 여인을 취한 자라 그 중에 자녀를 낳은 여인도 있었더라

1Now while Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before God’s house, there was gathered together to him out of Israel a very great assembly of men and women and children; for the people wept very bitterly. 2Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered Ezra, “We have trespassed against our God, and have married foreign women of the peoples of the land. Yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing. 3Now 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 who tremble at the commandment of our God. Let it be done according to the law. 4Arise; for the matter belongs to you, and we are with you. Be courageous, and do it.” 5Then Ezra arose, and made the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. So they swore. 6Then Ezra rose up from before God’s house, and went into the room of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came there, he ate no bread, nor drank water; for he mourned because of their trespass of the captivity. 7They made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together to Jerusalem; 8and that whoever didn’t come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the assembly of the captivity. 9Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together to Jerusalem within the three days; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month: and all the people sat in the broad place before God’s house, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain. 10Ezra the priest stood up, and said to them, “You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, to increase the guilt of Israel. 11Now therefore make confession to Yahweh, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women.” 12Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice, “As you have said concerning us, so must we do. 13But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand outside; neither is this a work of one day or two; for we have greatly transgressed in this matter. 14Let now our princes be appointed for all the assembly, and let all those who are in our cities who have married foreign women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and its judges, until the fierce wrath of our God be turned from us, until this matter is resolved.” 15Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them. 16The children of the captivity did so. Ezra the priest, with certain heads of fathers’ households, after their fathers’ houses, and all of them by their names, were set apart; and they sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter. 17They made an end with all the men who had married foreign women by the first day of the first month. 18Among the sons of the priests there were found who had married foreign women: of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah. 19They gave their hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their guilt. 20Of the sons of Immer: Hanani and Zebadiah. 21Of the sons of Harim: Maaseiah, and Elijah, and Shemaiah, and Jehiel, and Uzziah. 22Of the sons of Pashhur: Elioenai, Maaseiah, Ishmael, Nethanel, Jozabad, and Elasah. 23Of the Levites: Jozabad, and Shimei, and Kelaiah (the same is Kelita), Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer. 24Of the singers: Eliashib. Of the porters: Shallum, and Telem, and Uri. 25Of Israel: Of the sons of Parosh: Ramiah, and Izziah, and Malchijah, and Mijamin, and Eleazar, and Malchijah, and Benaiah. 26Of the sons of Elam: Mattaniah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, and Abdi, and Jeremoth, and Elijah. 27Of the sons of Zattu: Elioenai, Eliashib, Mattaniah, and Jeremoth, and Zabad, and Aziza. 28Of the sons of Bebai: Jehohanan, Hananiah, Zabbai, Athlai. 29Of the sons of Bani: Meshullam, Malluch, and Adaiah, Jashub, and Sheal, Jeremoth. 30Of the sons of Pahathmoab: Adna, and Chelal, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattaniah, Bezalel, and Binnui, and Manasseh. 31Of the sons of Harim: Eliezer, Isshijah, Malchijah, Shemaiah, Shimeon, 32Benjamin, Malluch, Shemariah. 33Of the sons of Hashum: Mattenai, Mattattah, Zabad, Eliphelet, Jeremai, Manasseh, Shimei. 34Of the sons of Bani: Maadai, Amram, and Uel, 35Benaiah, Bedeiah, Cheluhi, 36Vaniah, Meremoth, Eliashib, 37Mattaniah, Mattenai, and Jaasu, 38and Bani, and Binnui, Shimei, 39and Shelemiah, and Nathan, and Adaiah, 40Machnadebai, Shashai, Sharai, 41Azarel, and Shelemiah, Shemariah, 42Shallum, Amariah, Joseph. 43Of the sons of Nebo: Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina, Iddo, and Joel, Benaiah. 44All these had taken foreign wives; and some of them had wives by whom they had children.

1Als Ezra alzo bad, en als hij deze belijdenis deed, wenende en zich voor Gods huis nederwerpende, verzamelde zich tot hem uit Israel een zeer grote gemeente van mannen, en vrouwen, en kinderen; want het volk weende met groot geween. 2Toen antwoordde Sechanja, de zoon van Jehiel, een van de zonen van Elam, en zeide tot Ezra: Wij hebben overtreden tegen onzen God, en wij hebben vreemde vrouwen van de volken des lands bij ons doen wonen; maar nu, er is hope voor Israel, dezen aangaande. 3Laat ons dan nu een verbond maken met onze God, dat wij al die vrouwen, en wat van haar geboren is, zullen doen uitgaan, naar den raad des HEEREN, en dergenen, die beven voor het gebod onzes Gods; en laat er gedaan worden naar de wet. 4Sta op, want deze zaak komt u toe; en wij zullen met u zijn; wees sterk en doe het. 5Toen stond Ezra op, en deed de oversten der priesteren, de Levieten en gans Israel zweren, te zullen doen naar dit woord; en zij zwoeren. 6En Ezra stond op van voor Gods huis, en ging in de kamer van Johanan, den zoon van Eljasib; als hij daar kwam, at hij geen brood, en dronk geen water, want hij bedreef rouw over de overtreding der weggevoerden. 7En zij lieten een stem doorgaan door Juda en Jeruzalem, aan al de kinderen der gevangenis, dat zij zich te Jeruzalem zouden verzamelen. 8En al wie niet kwam in drie dagen, naar den raad der vorsten en der oudsten, al zijn have zou verbannen zijn; en hij zelf zou afgezonderd wezen van de gemeente der weggevoerden. 9Toen verzamelden zich alle mannen van Juda en Benjamin te Jeruzalem in drie dagen; het was de negende maand op den twintigsten in de maand; en al het volk zat op de straat van Gods huis, sidderende om deze zaak, en vanwege de plasregenen. 10Toen stond Ezra, de priester, op en zeide tot hen: Gijlieden hebt overtreden, en vreemde vrouwen bij u doen wonen, om Israels schuld te vermeerderen. 11Nu dan, doet den HEERE, uwer vaderen God, belijdenis en doet Zijn welgevallen, en scheidt u af van de volken des lands, en van de vreemde vrouwen. 12En de ganse gemeente antwoordde en zeide met luider stem: Naar uw woorden, alzo komt het ons toe te doen. 13Maar des volks is veel, en het is een tijd van plasregen, dat men hier buiten niet staan kan; en het is geen werk van een dag noch van twee; want velen onzer hebben overtreden in deze zaak. 14Laat toch onze vorsten der ganse gemeente hierover staan, en allen, die in onze steden zijn, die vreemde vrouwen bij zich hebben doen wonen, op gezette tijden komen, en met hen de oudsten van elke stad en derzelver rechters; totdat wij van ons afwenden de hittigheid des toorns onzes Gods, om dezer zaken wil. 15Alleenlijk Jonathan, de zoon van Asahel, en Jehazia, de zoon van Tikva, stonden hierover; en Mesullam, en Sabbethai, de Leviet, hielpen hen. 16En de kinderen der gevangenis deden alzo; en Ezra, de priester, met de mannen, de hoofden der vaderen, naar het huis hunner vaderen, en zij allen, bij namen genoemd, scheidden zich af, en zij zaten op den eersten dag der tiende maand, om deze zaak te onderzoeken. 17En zij voleindden het met alle mannen, die vreemde vrouwen bij zich hadden doen wonen, tot op den eersten dag der eerste maand. 18En er werden gevonden van de zonen der priesteren, die vreemde vrouwen bij zich hadden doen wonen; van de zonen van Jesua, den zoon van Jozadak, en zijn broederen, Maaseja, en Eliezer, en Jarib, en Gedalja. 19En zij gaven hun hand, dat zij hun vrouwen zouden doen uitgaan; en schuldig zijnde, offerden zij een ram van de kudde voor hun schuld. 20En van de kinderen van Immer: Hanani en Zebadja. 21En van de kinderen van Harim: Maaseja, en Elia, en Semaja, en Jehiel, en Uzia, 22En van de kinderen van Pashur: Eljoenai, Maaseja, Ismael, Nethaneel, Jozabad en Elasa. 23En van de Levieten: Jozabad, en Simei, en Kelaja (deze is Kelita), Pethahja, Juda en Eliezer. 24En van de zangers: Eljasib; en van de poortiers: Sallum, en Telem, en Uri. 25En van Israel: van de kinderen van Paros: Ramja, en Jezia, en Malchia, en Mijamim, en Eleazar, en Malchia, en Benaja. 26En van de kinderen van Elam: Mattanja, Zacharja, en Jehiel, en Abdi, en Jeremoth, en Elia. 27En van de kinderen van Zatthu: Eljoenai, Eljasib, Mattanja, en Jeremoth, en Zabad, Aziza. 28En van de kinderen van Bebai: Johanan, Hananja, Sabbai, en Athlai. 29En van de kinderen van Bani: Mesullam, Malluch en Adaja, Jasub en Seal, Jeramoth. 30En van de kinderen van Pahath-Moab: Adna, en Chelal, Benaja, Maaseja, Mattanja, Bezaleel, en Binnui, en Manasse. 31En van de kinderen van Harim: Eliezer, Jissia, Malchia, Semaja, Simeon, 32Benjamin, Malluch, Semarja. 33Van de kinderen van Hasum: Mathnai, Mattata, Zabad, Elifelet, Jeremai, Manasse, Simei. 34Van de kinderen van Bani: Maadai, Amram, en Uel, 35Benaja, Bedeja, Cheluhu, 36Vanja, Meremoth, Eljasib, 37Mattanja, Mathnai, en Jaasai, 38En Bani, en Binnui, Simei, 39En Selemja, en Nathan, en Adaja, 40Machnadbai, Sasai, Sarai, 41Azareel, Selemja, Semarja, 42Sallum, Amarja, Jozef. 43Van de kinderen van Nebo: Jeiel, Mattithja, Zabad, Zebina, Jaddai, en Joel, Benaja. 44Alle dezen hadden vreemde vrouwen genomen; en sommigen van hen hadden vrouwen, waarbij zij kinderen gekregen hadden.
