¹Now 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.

¹Keď sa tak modlil Ezdráš a vyznával plačúc a padnúc na tvár ležal pred domom Božím, shromaždil sa k nemu z Izraela zástup, veľmi veliký, mužov i žien i detí, lebo ľud plakal veľkým plačom.

²And 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.

²Vtedy odpovedal Šechaniáš, syn Jechielov, zo synov Élamových, a riekol Ezdrášovi: My sme sa dopustili prestúpenia proti svojmu Bohu, že sme si pobrali za ženy cudzozemky, z národov zeme. Ale však je ešte preto teraz nádej pre Izraela.

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 that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.

³A tak teraz učiňme smluvu so svojím Bohom, že vyvedieme preč všetky ženy aj ich deti podľa rady Pána, a tých, ktorí sa trasú pred prikázaním nášho Boha, a učiní sa podľa zákona.

⁴Arise; for this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it.

⁴Vstaň, lebo na tebe je tá vec, a my pojdeme s tebou; posilni sa a učiň!

⁵Then 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.

⁵Vtedy vstal Ezdráš a zaviazal prísahou kniežatá kňazov, Levitov i celého Izraela, aby učinili podľa toho slova. A prisahali.

⁶Then 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.

⁶A Ezdráš vstanúc zpred domu Božieho odišiel do izby Jehochanána, syna Eljašibovho, a išiel ta bez toho, že by bol jedol chlieb alebo pil vodu, lebo smútil nad prestúpením prestehovaných.

⁷And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;

⁷Potom dali vyhlásiť po Judsku a po Jeruzaleme všetkým synom prestehovania, aby sa shromaždili do Jeruzalema.

⁸And that whosoever would not 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 congregation of those that had been carried away.

⁸A že každý, kto by neprišiel do troch dní podľa rady kniežat a starších, celý jeho majetok bude daný pod kliatbu a bude zničený, a on sám bude vylúčený zo shromaždenia prestehovaných.

⁹Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.

⁹Preto sa shromaždili všetci mužovia pokolenia Júdu a Benjamina do Jeruzalema do tretieho dňa, a to bol deviaty mesiac, na dvadsiateho toho mesiaca. A všetok ľud sedel na ulici domu Božieho trasúc sa pre tú vec a od dažďov.

¹⁰And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel.

¹⁰Vtedy vstal Ezdráš, kňaz, a riekol im: Vy ste sa dopustili prestúpenia tým, že ste si pobrali za ženy cudzozemky, aby ste pridali k previneniu Izraelovmu.

¹¹Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives.

¹¹Preto teraz vyznajte sa Hospodinovi, Bohu svojich otcov, a čiňte jeho vôľu a oddeľte sa od národov zeme aj od žien cudzozemiek.

¹²Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do.

¹²Na to odpovedali všetci, celé shromaždenie, a riekli velikým hlasom: Tak, podľa tvojho slova, sme povinní učiniť!

¹³But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.

¹³Ale ľudu je mnoho, a je čas dažďov, a nevládzeme stáť vonku, a práce nie je na jeden deň ani na dva, lebo sme mnohonásobne zhrešili v tejto veci.

¹⁴Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them which have taken strange wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter be turned from us.

¹⁴Nech stoja, prosíme, naše kniežatá za celú obec, a každý, kto je v našich mestách, kto si vzal za ženy cudzozemky, nech prijde na ustanovený čas, a s nimi starší z každého mesta i jeho, toho mesta sudcovia, dokiaľ neodvrátime pále hnevu svojho Boha od seba, dokiaľ nebude tejto veci koniec.

¹⁵Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah were employed about this matter: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.

¹⁵Len Jonatán, syn Azaelov, a Jachaziáš, syn Tikvu, povstali proti tomu, a Mešullam a Šabbetaj, Levita, im pomáhali.

¹⁶And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain chief of the fathers, after the house of their fathers, and all of them by their names, were separated, and sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.

¹⁶Ale synovia prestehovania učinili tak. A boli oddelení Ezdráš, kňaz, mužovia hlavy otcov podľa domu svojich otcov a tí všetci podľa mena a zasadli prvého dňa desiateho mesiaca, aby vyšetrili vec.

¹⁷And they made an end with all the men that had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month.

¹⁷A dokončili pri všetkých mužoch, ktorí si boli vzali za ženy cudzozemky, do prvého dňa prvého mesiaca.

¹⁸And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken strange wives: namely, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren; Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.

¹⁸A našli sa aj z kňazských synov, ktorí si boli vzali za ženy cudzozemky: zo synov Ješuu, syna Jocadáka, a z jeho bratov: Maaseiáš, Eliézer, Jarib a Gedaliáš.

¹⁹And they gave their hands that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their trespass.

¹⁹Ale dali svoju ruku, že vyvedú preč svoje ženy. A tí, ktorí sa previnili, obetovali barana zo stáda za svoju vinu.
