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.

¹And at Ezra`s praying, and at his making confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there have been gathered unto him out of Israel an assembly very great — men and women and children — for the people have wept, multiplying weeping.

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.

²And Shechaniah son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, answereth and saith to Ezra, `We — we have trespassed against our God, and we settle strange women of the peoples of the land; and now there is hope for Israel concerning this,

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.

³and now, let us make a covenant with our God, to cause all the women to go out, and that which is born of them, by the counsel of the Lord, and of those trembling at the command of our God, and according to law it is done;

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

⁴rise, for on thee [is] the matter, and we [are] with thee; be strong, and do.`

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

⁵And Ezra riseth, and causeth the heads of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear to do according to this word — and they swear.

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.

⁶And Ezra riseth from before the house of God, and goeth unto the chamber of Jehohanan son of Eliashib; yea, he goeth there, bread he hath not eaten, and water he hath not drunk, for he is mourning because of the trespass of the removal.

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

⁷And they cause a voice to pass over into Judah and Jerusalem, to all sons of the removal, to be gathered to Jerusalem,

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.

⁸and every one who cometh not in by the third day, according to the counsel of the heads and of the elders, all his substance is devoted, and himself separated from the assembly of the removal.

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.

⁹And gathered are all the men of Judah and Benjamin to Jerusalem by the third day, it [is] the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month, and all the people sit in the broad place of the house of God, trembling on account of the matter and of the showers.

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.

¹⁰And Ezra the priest riseth, and saith unto them, `Ye — ye have trespassed, and ye settle strange women, to add to the guilt of Israel;

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

¹¹and, now, make confession to Jehovah, God of your fathers, and do His good pleasure, and be separated from the peoples of the land, and from the strange women.`

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

¹²And all the assembly answer and say [with] a great voice, `Right; according to thy word — on us to do;

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.

¹³but the people [are] many, and [it is] the time of showers, and there is no power to stand without, and the work [is] not for one day, nor for two, for we have multiplied to transgress in this thing.

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.

¹⁴`Let, we pray thee, our heads of all the assembly stand, and all who [are] in our cities, who have settled strange wives, do come in at the times appointed, and with them the elders of city and city, and its judges, till the turning back of the fury of the wrath of our God from us, for this thing.`

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

¹⁵Only Jonathan son of Asahel, and Jahaziah son of Tikvah, stood against this, and Meshullam, and Shabbethai the Levite, helped them.

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.

¹⁶And the sons of the removal do so, and Ezra the priest, [and] men, heads of the fathers, for the house of their fathers, are separated, even all of them by name, and they sit on the first day of the tenth month, to examine the matter;

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

¹⁷and they finish with all the men who have settled strange women unto the first day of the first month.

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.

¹⁸And there are found of the sons of the priests that have settled strange women: of the sons of Jeshua son of Jozadak, and his brethren, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah;

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

¹⁹and they give their hand to send out their wives, and, being guilty, a ram of the flock, for their guilt.
