¹And while Ezra prayed, and made confession, weeping and falling down before the house of God, there were gathered to him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children; for the people wept very much.

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, of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Ezra, We have acted unfaithfully toward our God, and have taken foreign wives of the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope for 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.

³And now 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 commandments 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 is incumbent on thee, and we 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 Ezra arose, and made the chiefs of the priests, of the Levites, and of all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. And they swore.

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

⁶And Ezra arose from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib; and when he came thither, he ate no bread and drank no water; for he mourned because of the unfaithfulness 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 in Judah and Jerusalem to 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 confiscated, 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 were all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered together at Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month; and all the people sat in the open space of the house of God, trembling because of the matter, and because of the pouring 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 to them, Ye have acted unfaithfully, and have taken foreign 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.

¹¹And now make confession to Jehovah the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure, and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign wives.

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

¹²And the whole congregation answered and said with a loud voice, Yes, it is for us to do according to thy words.

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 pouring rain, and it is not possible to stand without: neither is this a work for 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 princes, while this matter is going on, stand for all the congregation, and let all those that have taken foreign wives in our cities come at the appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce anger of our God 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 Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this; 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 [and] certain of the chief fathers were separated according to their fathers' houses, and all of them [expressed] by name; and they sat down on 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 ended with all the men that had taken foreign 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 foreign wives, 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 hand to send away their wives; and they offered a ram of the flock, as trespass-offering for their guilt.

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