Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
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.
1Καὶ ὡς προσηύξατο Ἔσδρας, καὶ ὡς ἐξηγόρευσε κλαίων καὶ προσευχόμενος ἐνώπιον οἴκου τοῦ Θεοῦ, συνήχθησαν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἀπὸ Ἰσραὴλ ἐκκλησία πολλὴ σφόδρα, ἄνδρες καὶ γυναῖκες καὶ νεανίσκοι, ὅτι ἔκλαυσαν ὁ λαὸς, καὶ ὕψωσε κλαίων.
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.
2Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Σεχενίας υἱὸς Ἰεὴλ ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ἠλὰμ, καὶ εἶπε τῷ Ἔσδρᾳ, ἡμεῖς ἠσυνθετήσαμεν τῷ Θεῷ ἡμῶν, καὶ ἐκαθίσαμεν γυναῖκας ἀλλοτρίας ἀπὸ τῶν λαῶν τῆς γῆς· καὶ νῦν ἐστιν ὑπομονὴ τῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τούτῳ.
3Now therefore let’s make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives and those who 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.
3Καὶ νῦν διαθώμεθα διαθήκην τῷ Θεῷ ἡμῶν ἐκβαλεῖν πάσας τὰς γυναῖκας, καὶ τὰ γενόμενα ἐξ αὐτῶν, ὡς ἂν βούλῃ· ἀνάστηθι, καὶ φοβέρισον αὐτοὺς ἐν ἐντολαῖς Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, καὶ ὡς ὁ νόμος, γενηθήτω.
4Arise, for the matter belongs to you and we are with you. Be courageous, and do it.”
4Ἀνάστα, ὅτι ἐπὶ σὲ τὸ ῥῆμα, καὶ ἡμεῖς μετὰ σοῦ· κραταιοῦ καὶ ποίησον.
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.
5Καὶ ἀνέστη Ἔσδρας, καὶ ὥρκισε τοὺς ἄρχοντας, τοὺς ἱερεῖς, καὶ Λευείτας, καὶ πάντα Ἰσραὴλ, τοῦ ποιῆσαι κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο· καὶ ὤμοσαν.
6Then Ezra rose up from before God’s house, and went into the room of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib. When he came there, he didn’t eat bread or drink water, for he mourned because of the trespass of the exiles.
6Καὶ ἀνέστη Ἔσδρας ἀπὸ προσώπου οἴκου τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς γαζοφυλάκιον Ἰωανὰν υἱοῦ Ἐλισοὺβ, και ἐπορεύθη ἐκεῖ· ἄρτον οὐκ ἔφαγε, καὶ ὕδωρ οὐκ ἔπιεν, ὅτι ἐπένθει ἐπὶ τῇ ἀσυνθεσίᾳ τῆς ἀποικίας.
7They made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together to Jerusalem;
7Καὶ παρήνεγκαν φωνὴν ἐν Ἰούδα καὶ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ πᾶσι τοῖς υἱοῖς τῆς ἀποικίας, τοῦ συναθροισθῆναι εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.
8and that whoever didn’t come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his possessions should be forfeited, and he himself separated from the assembly of the captivity.
8Πᾶς ὃς ἂν μὴ ἔλθῃ εἰς τρεῖς ἡμέρας, ὡς ἡ βουλὴ τῶν ἀρχόντων καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων, ἀναθεματισθήσεται πᾶσα ἡ ὕπαρξις αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτὸς διασταλήσεται ἀπὸ ἐκκλησίας τῆς ἀποικίας.
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 wide place in front of God’s house, trembling because of this matter, and because of the great rain.
9Καὶ συνήχθησαν πάντες ἄνδρες Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμὶν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ εἰς τὰς τρεῖς ἡμέρας· οὗτος ὁ μὴν ὁ ἔννατος· ἐν εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνὸς ἐκάθισε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐν πλατείᾳ οἴκου τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀπὸ θορύβου αὐτῶν περὶ τοῦ ῥήματος, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ χειμῶνος.
10Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, increasing the guilt of Israel.
10Καὶ ἀνέστη Ἔσδρας ὁ ἱερεὺς, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτοὺς, ὑμεῖς ἠσυνθετήκατε, καὶ ἐκαθίσατε γυναῖκας ἀλλοτρίας τοῦ προσθεῖναι ἐπὶ πλημμέλειαν Ἰσραήλ.
11Now therefore make confession to the LORD, the God of your fathers and do his pleasure. Separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign women.”
11Καὶ νῦν δότε αἴνεσιν Κυρίῳ Θεῷ τῶν πατέρῶν ἡμῶν, καὶ ποιήσατε τὸ ἀρεστὸν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ διαστάλητε ἀπὸ λαῶν τῆς γῆς καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν γυναικῶν τῶν ἀλλοτρίων.
12Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice, “We must do as you have said concerning us.
12Καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία, καὶ εἶπαν, μέγα τοῦτο τὸ ῥῆμά σου ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς ποιῆσαι.
13But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand outside. This is not a work of one day or two, for we have greatly transgressed in this matter.
13Ἀλλὰ ὁ λαὸς πολὺς, καὶ ὁ καιρὸς χειμερινὸς, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι δύναμις στῆναι ἔξω· καὶ τὸ ἔργον οὐκ εἰς ἡμέραν μίαν καὶ οὐκ εἰς δύο, ὅτι ἐπληθύναμεν τοῦ ἀδικῆσαι ἐν τῷ ῥῆματι τούτῳ·
14Now let 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 is turned from us, until this matter is resolved.”
14Στήτωσαν δὴ ἄρχοντες ἡμῶν, καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς ἐν πόλεσιν ἡμῶν ὃς ἐκάθισε γυναῖκας ἀλλοτρίας, ἐλθέτωσαν εἰς καιροὺς ἀπὸ συνταγῶν, καὶ μετʼ αὐτῶν πρεσβύτεροι πόλεως καὶ πόλεως, καὶ κριταὶ, τοῦ ἀποστρέψαι ὀργὴν θυμοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐξ ἡμῶν, περὶ τοῦ ῥήματος τούτου.
15Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
15Πλὴν Ἰωνάθαν υἱὸς Ἀσὴλ, καὶ Ἰαζίας υἱὸς Θεκωὲ μετʼ ἐμοῦ περὶ τούτου· καὶ Μεσουλλὰμ, καὶ Σαββαθαῒ ὁ Λευίτης βοηθῶν αὐτοῖς.
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.
16Καὶ ἐποίησαν οὕτως υἱοὶ τῆς ἀποικίας· Καὶ διεστάλησαν Ἔσρας ὁ ἱερεὺς, καὶ ἄνδρες ἄρχοντες πατριῶν τῷ οἴκῳ, καὶ πάντες ἐν ὀνόμασιν, ὅτι ἐπέστρεψαν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ δεκάτου ἐκζητῆσαι τὸ ῥῆμα.
17They finished with all the men who had married foreign women by the first day of the first month.
17Καὶ ἐτέλεσαν ἐν πᾶσιν ἀνδράσιν οἳ ἐκάθισαν γυναῖκας ἀλλοτρίας, ἕως ἡμέρας μιᾶς τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου.
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, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah.
18Καὶ εὑρέθη ἀπὸ υἱῶν τῶν ἱερέων οἳ ἐκάθισαν γυναῖκας ἀλλοτρίας, ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ἰησοῦ υἱοῦ Ἰωσεδὲκ, καὶ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ Μαασία, καὶ Ἐλιέζερ, καὶ Ἰαρὶβ, καὶ Γαδαλία.
19They gave their hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their guilt.
