Ezra 10

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 While Ezra, weeping and prostrating himself in front of the Temple of God, was praying and makingconfession, a very large crowd of men, women and children of Israel gathered round him, the people weepingbitterly.	1 Dum ergo oraret Esdras et imploraret flens et prostratus ante templumDei, collectus est ad eum de Israel coetus grandis nimis virorum et mulierum etpuerorum; et flevit populus fletu multo.
2 Then Shechaniah son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, spoke up and said to Ezra, 'We have beenunfaithful to our God by marrying foreign women from the people of the country. But, in spite of this, there is stillsome hope for Israel.	2 Et respondit Sechenias filius Iehielde filiis Elam et dixit Esdrae: “ Nos praevaricati sumus in Deum nostrum etduximus uxores alienigenas de populis terrae. Nunc autem spes est in Israelsuper hoc:
3 We will make a covenant with our God to send away all the foreign wives and their children inobedience to the advice of my lord and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God. Let us act inaccordance with the Law.	3 percutiamus foedus cum Domino Deo nostro, ut proiciamus universasuxores et eos, qui de his nati sunt, iuxta voluntatem Domini et eorum, quitiment praeceptum Domini Dei nostri, et secundum legem fiat.
4 Go ahead, do your duty; we support you. Be brave, take action!'	4 Surge, tuum estdecernere, nosque erimus tecum; confortare et fac ”.
5 Then Ezra stood up and put the leading priests and Levites and all Israel on oath to do what had beensaid. They took the oath.	5 Surrexit ergo Esdras et fecit principes sacerdotum et Levitarum et omnemIsrael iurare, ut facerent secundum verbum hoc, et iuraverunt.
6 Ezra then left his place in front of the Temple of God and went to the room of Jehohanan son ofEliashib, where he spent the night without eating food or drinking water, because he was stil mourning over theexiles' infidelity.	6 Et surrexitEsdras ante domum Dei et abiit ad cubiculum Iohanan filii Eliasib et pernoctavitibi; panem non comedit et aquam non bibit, lugebat enim transgressionem eorum,qui venerant de captivitate.
7 A proclamation was issued throughout Judah and Jerusalem that al the exiles were to assemble inJerusalem,	7 Et missa est vox in Iuda et in Ierusalem omnibus filiis transmigrationis, utcongregarentur in Ierusalem;
8 and that anyone who failed within three days to answer the summons of the officials and elders was toforfeit al his possessions and himself be excluded from the community of the exiles.	8 et omnis, qui non venerit in tribus diebus iuxtaconsilium principum et seniorum, auferetur universa substantia eius, et ipseabicietur de coetu transmigrationis.
9 As a result, all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled in Jerusalem within the three days; it wasthe twentieth day of the ninth month. Al the people sat down in the square in front of the Temple of God,trembling because of the matter in hand and because of the heavy rain.	9 Convenerunt igitur omnes viri Iudae etBeniamin in Ierusalem tribus diebus, ipse est mensis nonus vicesimo die mensis,et sedit omnis populus in platea domus Dei, trementes pro peccato et pluviis.
10 The priest Ezra then stood up and said to them, 'You have been unfaithful and have married foreignwives, thus adding to Israel's guilt.	10 Et surrexit Esdras sacerdos et dixit ad eos: “ Vos transgressi estis etduxistis uxores alienigenas, ut adderetis super delictum Israel.
11 So now give thanks to Yahweh, God of your ancestors, and do his will by holding aloof from thepeople of the country and from foreign wives.'	11 Et nunc dateconfessionem Domino, Deo patrum vestrorum, et facite placitum eius et separaminia populis terrae et ab uxoribus alienigenis ”.
12 In ringing tones, the whole assembly answered, 'Yes, our duty is to do as you say.	12 Et respondit universa multitudo dixitque voce magna: “ Iuxta verbum tuum adnos, sic fiat.
13 But there are many people here and it is the rainy season; we cannot stay out in the open; besides,this is not something that can be dealt with in one or two days, since many of us have been unfaithful over this.	13 Verumtamen quia populus multus est et tempus pluviae, et nonsustinemus stare foris, et opus non est diei unius vel duorum — multi quippepeccavimus in sermone isto —
14 Let our officials deputise for the whole community, and all the people in our towns who have marriedforeign wives can come at stated times, accompanied by elders and judges from each town, until our God'sfierce anger over this is turned away from us.'	14 constituantur principes in universamultitudine; et omnes in civitatibus nostris, qui duxerunt uxores alienigenas,veniant in temporibus statutis, et cum his seniores per civitatem et civitatemet iudices eius, donec avertatur ira Dei nostri a nobis super peccato hoc ”.
15 Only Jonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah, supported by Meshul am and Shabbethaithe Levite, were opposed to this.	15 Tantummodo Ionathan filius Asael et Iaasia filius Thecue steterunt contrahoc, et Mosollam et Sabethai Levites adiuverunt eos.
16 The exiles did as had been proposed. And the priest Ezra selected the family heads of the variousfamilies, all of them by name, who began their sittings on the first day of the tenth month to look into the matter.	16 Feceruntque sic filii transmigrationis. Et elegit Esdras sacerdos virosprincipes familiarum iuxta domus patrum eorum, omnes autem per nomina eorum, etsederunt in die primo mensis decimi, ut quaererent rem.
17 And by the first day of the first month they had dealt with al the men who had married foreign women.	17 Et absolverunt causamcunctorum, qui duxerant uxores alienigenas, intra diem primam mensis primi.
