1Now while Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before God’s house, there was gathered together to him out of Israel a very great assembly of men and women and children; for the people wept very bitterly.
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.
2Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered Ezra, “We have trespassed against our God, and have married foreign women 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.
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 who tremble at the commandment of our God. 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 the matter belongs to you, and we are with you. Be courageous, 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, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. So they swore.
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 God’s house, and went into the room of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came there, he ate no bread, nor drank water; for he mourned because of their trespass of the captivity.
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.
7They made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together to Jerusalem;
7Potom dali vyhlásiť po Judsku a po Jeruzaleme všetkým synom prestehovania, aby sa shromaždili do Jeruzalema.
8and that whoever didn’t 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 assembly of the captivity.
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 to Jerusalem within the three days; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month: and all the people sat in the broad place before God’s house, 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.
10Ezra the priest stood up, and said to them, “You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, to increase the guilt 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 to Yahweh, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women.”
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 assembly answered with a loud voice, “As you have said concerning us, 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 outside; neither is this a work of one day or two; for we have greatly transgressed in this matter.
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 be appointed for all the assembly, and let all those who are in our cities who have married foreign women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and its judges, until the fierce wrath of our God be turned from us, until this matter is resolved.”
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.
16The children of the captivity did so. Ezra the priest, with certain heads of fathers’ households, after their fathers’ houses, and all of them by their names, were set apart; and they 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.
17They made an end with all the men who had married foreign women 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.
18Among the sons of the priests there were found who had married foreign women: of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers, 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.
19They gave their hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their guilt.
19Ale dali svoju ruku, že vyvedú preč svoje ženy. A tí, ktorí sa previnili, obetovali barana zo stáda za svoju vinu.
