Ezra 10

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Peshitta
1 While Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, a very great assembly of men, women, and children, gathered to him out of Israel; for the people wept bitterly.	1 ܘܟܕ ܨ̇ܠܝ ܥܙܪܐ ܘܟܕ ܐܬܝܕܝ ܪܡ̣ܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܒ̇ܟܐ ܩܕܡ ܒܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܡܢ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܟܢܫܐ ܪܒܐ ܕܛܒ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܘܢܫ̈ܐ ܘܛܠܝ̈ܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܒ̇ܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܛܠܝ̈ܐ ܒܟܝܐ ܪܒܐ ܕܛܒ
2 And Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, addressed Ezra: "We have broken faith with our God and have married foreign women from the peoples of the land, but even now there is hope for Israel in spite of this.	2 ܘܥ̣ܢܐ ܫܟܢܝܐ ܒܪ ܢܚܐܝܠ ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܝܠܡ ܘܐ̣ܡܪ ܠܥܙܪܐ ܣ̇ܦܪܐ ܚܢܢ ܟܕܒܢ ܒܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ ܘܐܘܬܒܢ ܢܫ̈ܐ ܢܘܟܪ̈ܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܥܡܡ̈ܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܡܟܝܠ ܐܝܬ ܣܒܪܐ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ
3 Therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all these wives and their children, according to the counsel of my lord and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.	3 ܘܡܟܝܠ ܢܐܡܪ ܡܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܢ ܠܡܦܩܘ ܟܘܠ ܢܫ̈ܐ ܢܘܟܪ̈ܝܬܐ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܝܠܕܘ ܡܢܗܝܢ ܘܐܝܟ ܡ̣ܠܟܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܚܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܢܡܘܣܐ ܕܐܠܗܢ ܥܒܕܘ
4 Arise, for it is your task, and we are with you; be strong and do it."	4 ܘܐܫܪܘ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܦܣܝܩ ܦܣܩܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܢܢ ܥܡܟ ܐܬܥܫܢ ܘܥܒܕ
5 Then Ezra arose and made the leading priests and Levites and all Israel take oath that they would do as had been said. So they took the oath.	5 ܘܩ̣ܡ ܥܙܪܐ ܣ̇ܦܪܐ ܘܐܘܡܝ ܠܩܫܝ̈ܫܝ ܟܘܡܪ̈ܐ ܘܠܠܘܝ̈ܐ ܘܠܟܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܐܝܟ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܝܡܘ
6 Then Ezra withdrew from before the house of God, and went to the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib, where he spent the night, neither eating bread nor drinking water; for he was mourning over the faithlessness of the exiles.	6 ܘܩ̣ܡ ܥܙܪܐ ܣ̇ܦܪܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܒܝܬܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܐ̣ܙܠ ܠܐܟܣܕܪܐ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܒܪ ܐܠܝܫܒ ܘܝ̣ܬܒ ܬܡܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܠܐ ܐ̣ܟܠ ܘܡܝ̈ܐ ܠܐ ܐܫܬܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܟܪܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܗ ܥܠ ܥܘܠܗ ܕܥܡܐ
7 And a proclamation was made throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the returned exiles that they should assemble at Jerusalem,	7 ܘܩܪܘ ܟܪ̈ܘܙܐ ܒܝܗܘܕ ܘܒܐܪܫܠܡ ܠܟܠ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܫܒܝܬܐ ܠܡܬܩܪܒܘ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ
8 and that if any one did not come within three days, by order of the officials and the elders all his property should be forfeited, and he himself banned from the congregation of the exiles.	8 ܘܟܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܐܬܐ ܠܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡ̈ܝܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܐܝܟ ܡ̣ܠܟܐ ܕܩܫܝ̈ܫܐ ܘܕܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܚܪܝܒܝܢ ܢܟܣ̈ܘܗܝ ܘܗܘ ܢܬܦܪܫ ܡܢ ܥܡܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ
9 Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled at Jerusalem within the three days; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month. And all the people sat in the open square before the house of God, trembling because of this matter and because of the heavy rain.	9 ܘܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܟܠ ܐܢܫ̈ܝ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܒܢܝܡܝܢ ܠܐܪܫܠܡ ܠܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡ̈ܝܢ ܒܝܪܚܐ ܕܬܫܥܐ ܒܥܣܪܬܐ ܒܝܪܚܐ ܘܟܢܫܘ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܒܫܘܩ ܗܝܟܠܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܙܝܝܥܝܢ ܘܪܬܝܬܝܢ ܥܠ ܡܠܬܐ
10 And Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, "You have trespassed and married foreign women, and so increased the guilt of Israel.	10 ܘܩ̣ܡ ܥܙܪܐ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܐ̣ܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܟܕܒܬܘܢ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܘܢܣܒܬܘܢ ܢܫ̈ܐ ܢܘܟܪ̈ܝܬܐ ܘܐܘܣܦܬܘܢ ܥܠ ܚܛܗ̈ܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ
11 Now then make confession to the LORD the God of your fathers, and do his will; separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign wives."	11 ܡܟܝܠ ܗܒܘ ܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܒܗ̈ܝܟܘܢ ܘܥܒܕܘ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܘܐܬܦܪܫܘ ܡܢ ܥܡܡ̈ܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܘܡܢ ܢܫ̈ܐ ܢܘܟܪ̈ܝܬܐ
12 Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice, "It is so; we must do as you have said.	12 ܘܥܢܘ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܥܙܪܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܫܦܝܪܝܢ ܦܬܓܡ̈ܝܟ ܥܠܝܢ ܘܡܩܒܠ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܐ̇ܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܥܠܝܢ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܒܫܪܝܪܬܐ
13 But the people are many, and it is a time of heavy rain; we cannot stand in the open. Nor is this a work for one day or for two; for we have greatly transgressed in this matter.	13 ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܡܐ ܣܓܝ ܘܥܕܢܐ ܕܡܛܪܐ ܗܘ ܘܠܝܬ ܒܢ ܚܝܠܐ ܠܡܩܡ ܒܫܘܩܐ ܘܥܒܝܕܬܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܕܚܕ ܗܝ ܘܠܐ ܕܬܪܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܣܓܝܐܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܚܛܗ̈ܝܢ ܒܦܬܓܡܐ ܗܢܐ
14 Let our officials stand for the whole assembly; let all in our cities who have taken foreign wives come at appointed times, and with them the elders and judges of every city, till the fierce wrath of our God over this matter be averted from us."	14 ܡܟܝܠ ܢܩܘܡܘܢ ܩܫܝ̈ܫܝܢ ܘܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܘܟܠ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܘܬܒܘ ܢܫ̈ܐ ܢܘܟܪ̈ܝܬܐ ܘܢܐܬܘܢ ܠܥܕܢܐ ܕܨܠܘܬܐ ܘܥܡܗܘܢ ܩܫܝ̈ܫܐ ܕܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܘܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܘܕܝ̈ܢܝ̇ܗܝܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܗܦܟܘܢ ܚܡܬܐ ܕܪܘܓܙܗ ܕܐܠܗܢ ܡܢܢ ܡܛܠ ܡܘܡܬܐ ܗܕܐ
15 Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah opposed this, and Meshullum and Shabbethai the Levite supported them.	15 ܒܪܡ ܝܘܢܬܢ ܒܪ ܥܡܘܐܝܠ ܘܢܚܙܝܐ ܒܪ ܬܩܘܐ ܘܡܫܠܡ ܩܡܘ ܥܠ ܗܕܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܡܬܝ ܠܘܝܐ ܥܕܘܪܗܘܢ
16 Then the returned exiles did so. Ezra the priest selected men, heads of fathers' houses, according to their fathers' houses, each of them designated by name. On the first day of the tenth month they sat down to examine the matter;	16 ܘܗܟܢܐ ܥܒܕܘ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܫܒܝܬܐ ܘܦ̣ܪܫ ܥܙܪܐ ܟܗ̈ܢܐ ܥܣܪܐ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܪ̈ܫܐ ܕܐܒܗ̈ܬܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܐܒܗ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܘܟܘܠܗܘܢ ܒܫܡ̈ܗܐ ܐܬܩܪܝܘ ܘܝܬܒܘ ܒܝܘܡ ܚܕ ܒܝܪܚܐ ܕܥܣܪܐ ܠܡܬܒܥܗ ܠܗ ܠܦܬܓܡܐ
17 and by the first day of the first month they had come to the end of all the men who had married foreign women.	17 ܘܓܡܪܘ ܟܘܠܗܘܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܕܐܘܬܒܘ ܢܫ̈ܐ ܢܘܟܪ̈ܝܬܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡ ܚܕ ܒܝܪܚܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ
18 Of the sons of the priests who had married foreign women were found Ma-aseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak and his brethren.	18 ܘܐܫܬܟܚܘ ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܟܘܡܪ̈ܐ ܕܐܘܬܒܘ ܢܫ̈ܐ ܢܘܟܪ̈ܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܒܪ ܝܘܙܕܩ ܘܐܚ̈ܘܗܝ ܡܥܣܝܐ ܘܐܠܝܥܙܪ ܘܝܘܢܕܒ ܘܓܕܠܝܐ
19 They pledged themselves to put away their wives, and their guilt offering was a ram of the flock for their guilt.	19 ܘܐܬܛܦܝܣܘ ܘܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܢܦܩܘܢ ܢܫ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܘܩ̇ܪܒܘ ܕܟܪ̈ܐ ܕܥ̈ܢܐ ܥܠ ܚܛܗܝ̈ܗܘܢ
