1 H3615 [H8763] Now when these things were done, H8269 the princes H5066 [H8738] came H559 [H8800] to me, saying, H5971 The people H3478 of Israel, H3548 and the priests, H3881 and the Levites, H914 [H8738] have not separated H5971 themselves from the people H776 of the lands, H8441 doing according to their abominations, H3669 even of the Canaanites, H2850 the Hittites, H6522 the Perizzites, H2983 the Jebusites, H5984 the Ammonites, H4125 the Moabites, H4713 the Egyptians, H567 and the Amorites.

2 H5375 [H8804] For they have taken H1323 of their daughters H1121 for themselves, and for their sons: H6944 so that the holy H2233 seed H6148 [H8694] have mixed H5971 themselves with the people H776 of those lands: H3027 yea, the hand H8269 of the princes H5461 and rulers H7223 hath been first H4604 in this treachery.

3 H8085 [H8800] And when I heard H1697 this thing, H7167 [H8804] I tore H899 my garment H4598 and my mantle, H4803 [H8799] and plucked off H8181 the hair H7218 of my head H2206 and of my beard, H3427 [H8799] and sat down H8074 [H8789] appalled.

4 H622 [H8735] Then were assembled H2730 to me every one that trembled H1697 at the words H430 of the God H3478 of Israel, H4604 because of the treachery H1473 of those that had been carried away; H3427 [H8802] and I sat H8074 [H8789] appalled H6153 until the evening H4503 sacrifice.

5 H6153 And at the evening H4503 sacrifice H6965 [H8804] I arose H8589 from my heaviness; H7167 [H8800] and having torn H899 my garment H4598 and my mantle, H3766 [H8799] I fell H1290 upon my knees, H6566 [H8799] and spread out H3709 my palms H3068 to the LORD H430 my God,

6 H9001 And H559 [H8799] said, H9020 O my H430 God, H954 [H8804] I am too pale H9001 and H3637 [H8738] wounded H9005 to H7311 [H8687] lift up H9020 my H6440 face H413 to H931 thee, H9020 my H430 God: H3588 for H9025 our H5771 perversities H7235 [H8804] are increased H9005 H4605 over H9011 H7218 our head, H9002 and H9025 our H819 guilt H1431 [H8804] is grown up H5704 to H9004 the H8064 heavens.

7 H3117 Since the days H1 of our fathers H1419 have we been in a great H819 guilt H3117 to this day; H5771 and for our perversities H4428 have we, our kings, H3548 and our priests, H5414 [H8738] been given H3027 into the hand H4428 of the kings H776 of the lands, H2719 to the sword, H7628 to captivity, H961 and to a spoil, H1322 and to shame H6440 of face, H3117 as it is this day.

8 H4592 And now for a little H7281 moment H8467 grace H3068 hath been shown from the LORD H430 our God, H7604 [H8687] to leave H6413 us a remnant to escape, H5414 [H8800] and to give H3489 us a nail H6944 in his holy H4725 place, H430 that our God H215 [H8687] may enlighten H5869 our eyes, H5414 [H8800] and give H4592 us a little H4241 reviving H5659 in our bondage.

9 H5650 For we were slaves; H430 yet our God H5800 [H8804] hath not forsaken H5659 us in our bondage, H5186 [H8686] but hath extended H2617 mercy H6440 to us in the sight H4428 of the kings H6539 of Persia, H5414 [H8800] to give H4241 us a reviving, H7311 [H8788] to set up H1004 the house H430 of our God, H5975 [H8687] and to repair H2723 the dry places H5414 [H8800] of it, and to give H1447 us a wall H3063 in Judah H3389 and in Jerusalem.

10 H430 And now, O our God, H559 [H8799] what shall we say H310 after H5800 [H8804] this? for we have forsaken H4687 thy commandments,

11 H6680 [H8765] Which thou hast commanded H3027 by H5650 thy servants H5030 the prophets, H559 [H8800] saying, H776 The land, H935 [H8802] where ye go H3423 [H8800] to possess H5079 it, is an impure H776 land H5079 with the filthiness H5971 of the people H776 of the lands, H8441 with their abominations, H4390 [H8765] which have filled H6310 it from one end H6310 to another H2932 with their uncleanness.

12 H5414 [H8799] Now therefore give H1323 not your daughters H1121 to their sons, H5375 [H8799] neither take H1323 their daughters H1121 to your sons, H1875 [H8799] nor seek H7965 their peace H2896 or their wealth H5704 for H5769 ever: H2388 [H8799] that ye may be strong, H398 [H8804] and eat H2898 the good H776 of the land, H3423 [H8689] and leave it for an inheritance H1121 to your sons H5769 to the age.

13 H310 And after H935 [H8802] all that hath come H7451 upon us for our evil H4639 deeds, H1419 and for our great H819 guilt, H430 seeing that thou our God H2820 [H8804] hast punished H4295 us less H5771 than our perversities H5414 [H8804] deserve, and hast given H6413 us such deliverance as this;

14 H7725 [H8799] Should we again H6565 [H8687] break H4687 thy commandments, H2859 [H8692] and join in marriage H5971 with the people H8441 of these abominations? H599 [H8799] wouldest thou not be angry H3615 [H8763] with us till thou hadst consumed H7611 us, so that there should be no remnant H6413 nor escaping?

15 H3068 O LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel, H6662 thou art righteous: H6413 for we having escaped, H7604 [H8738] remain H3117 yet, as it is this day: H6440 behold, we are at the face of H819 thee in our guilt: H5975 [H8800] for we cannot stand H6440 at the face of thee because of this.

Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Whan all this was perfourmed, the rulers came to me, and sayde: The people of Israel, and the prestes, & Leuites are not separated from the nacions in the londes as touchinge their abhominacions, namely of the Cananites, Hethites, Pheresites, Iebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egipcians, and Amorites. ² For they haue taken the doughters of the same, & their sonnes, and haue myxte the holy sede with ye nacions in the londes: and the hande of the rulers and lordes of councell hath bene principall in this trespace. ³ Whan I herde this, I rente my clothes and my rayment, and plucte out the heer of my heade and of my beerd, and sat mournynge. ⁴ And there resorted vnto me all soch as feared the worde of the LORDE God of Israel because of the greate transgression. And I sat mournynge vntyll the euenynge sacrifyce. ⁵ And aboute the euenynge sacrifice I rose vp fro my heuynes, and rente my clothes and my raiment, and fell vpon my knees, and spred out my handes vnto the LORDE my God, ⁶ and sayde: My God, I am ashamed, and darre not lifte vp mine eies vnto the my God: for oure wickednesses are growne ouer oure heade, & oure trespaces are waxen greate vnto ye heaue. ⁷ Sence the tyme of oure fathers haue we bene in greate trespace vnto this daie, and because of oure wickednesses haue we and or kynges bene delyuered in to the hande of ye kynges of the nacions, in to the swerde, in to captiuyte, in to spoyle, and in to confusion of face, as it is come to passe this daye. ⁸ But now is there a litle and sodane graciousnes come from the LORDE oure God, so that some of vs are escaped, that he maie geue vs a nayle in his holy place, that oure God maye lighte oure eyes, and geue vs a litle lyfe in oure bondage. ⁹ For we are bondmen, and or God hath not forsake vs though we be bondmen, and hath enclyned mercy vnto vs in the sighte of the kynges of Persia, that they shulde geue vs lyfe, and promote the house of oure God, and to sett vp the desolacion therof, and to geue vs an hedge in Iuda and Ierusalem. ¹⁰ O oure God, what shall we saye now after this? that we haue forsaken thy commaundementes, ¹¹ which thou hast commaunded by thy seruauntes the prophetes, and saide: The londe wherin ye shal come to possesse it, is an vncleane londe thorow the fylthines of the people of the londes, in their abhominacions wherwith they haue made it full of vnclennes on euery syde. ¹² Therfore shal ye not geue youre doughters vnto their sonnes, and their doughters shall ye not take vnto youre sonnes, and seke not their peace and welth for euer, that ye maye be stronge, and enioye the good in the londe, and yt ye and youre children maye haue the inheritaunce of it for euermore. ¹³ And after all this that is come vpon vs (because of oure euell dedes and greate trespace) thou oure God hast spared oure wickednesses, and hast geuen vs a delyueraunce as it is come to passe. ¹⁴ As for vs, we haue turned backe, & haue let go thy commaundementes, to make contracte with the people of these abhominacions.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then all this was performed, the rulers came to me, and said, "The people of Israel, and the priests, and Levites are not separated from the nations in the lands as touching their abominations, namely of the Cananites, Hittites, Perezites, Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians, and Amorites. ² For they have taken the daughters of the same, and their sons, and have mixed the holy seed with the nations in the lands: and the hand of the rulers and lords of council hath been principal in this trespass." ³ When I heard this, I rent my clothes and my raiment, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat mourning. ⁴ And there resorted unto me all such as feared the word of the LORD God of Israel, because of the great transgression. And I sat mourning until the evening sacrifice. ⁵ And about the evening sacrifice I rose up from my heaviness, and rent my clothes and my raiment, and fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God; ⁶ and said, "My God, I am ashamed, and dare not lift up mine eyes unto thee my God: for our wickednesses are grown over our head, and our trespasses are waxen great unto the heaven. ⁷ Since the time of our fathers have we been in great trespass unto this day, and because of our wickedness have we and our kings been delivered into the hand of the kings of the nations, in to the sword, in to captivity, in to spoil, and in to confusion of face, as it is come to pass this day. ⁸ But now is there a little and sudden graciousness come from the LORD our God, so that some of us are escaped: that he may give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may light our eyes, and give us a little life in our bondage. ⁹ For we are bondmen, and our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, and hath inclined mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, that he should give us life, and promote the house of our God, and to set up the desolation thereof, and to give us a hedge in Judah and in Jerusalem. ¹⁰ And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken thy commandments, ¹¹ which thou hast commanded by thy servants the Prophets, and said, 'The land unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land through the filthiness of the people of the lands, in their abominations wherewith they have made it full of uncleanness on every side. ¹² Therefore shall ye not give your daughters unto their sons, and their daughters shall ye not take unto your sons, and seek not their peace and wealth forever, that ye may be strong, and enjoy the good in the land, and that ye and your children may have the inheritance of it for evermore.' ¹³ And after all this that is come upon us, because of our evil deeds and great trespass, thou our God hast spared our wickednesses, and hast given us a deliverance as it is come to pass this day. ¹⁴ As for us, we have turned back, and have let go thy commandments, to make contract with the people of these abominations. Wilt thou then be wroth at us, till we be utterly consumed, so that nothing remain, and there be no deliverance? ¹⁵ O LORD God of Israel, thou art righteous, for we remain yet escaped, as it is this day. Behold, in thy presence are we in our trespass: for because of it is there no standing before thee."

Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When all this was perfourmed, the rulers came to me, & sayde: The people of Israell, and the priestes, & Leuites are not separated from the nacions in the landes as thouchynge theyr abhomynacions, namely of the Cananites, Hethites, Pheresites, Iebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egypcyans, and Amorites. ² For they haue taken the doughters of the same, and their sonnes, and haue myxte the holy seade wyth the nacyons in the landes: and the hande of the prynces and rulers hath bene pryncypall in hys trespace. ³ When I hearde thys, I rent my clothes and my rayment, and plucte of the hearre of my heade, and of my bearde, and sate mournyng. ⁴ And there resorted vnto me all such as feared the worde of the Lorde God of Israell because of the greate transgression. And I sate mournynge vntyll the euenynge sacryfyce. ⁵ And aboute the euenynge sacryfyce I rose vp from my heauynes, & rente my clothes & my rayment, and fel vpon my knees, and spred out my handes vnto the Lorde my God, ⁶ and sayde. My God I am ashamed, and darre not lyfte vp myne eyes vnto the my God: for our wyckednesses are growne ouer our heade, & oure trespaces are waxen greate vnto the heauen. ⁷ Sence the tyme of oure fathers haue we bene in greate trespace vnto this day, and because of oure wyckednesses haue we and oure kinges ben delyuered into the hand of the kynges of the nacyons, into the swerde, into captyuite, into spoyle, and into confusion of face as it is come to passe thys daye. ⁸ But now is there a lytle and sodayne gracyousnes come from the Lord oure God, so that some of vs are escaped, that he may geue vs a nayle in hys holy place, that oure God may lighte oure eyes, and geue vs a lytle life in oure bondage. ⁹ For we are bondmen, and oure God hath not forsaken vs in oure bondage, and hath enclined mercy vnto vs in the syght of the kinges of Persia, that he should geue vs lyfe, and promote the house of oure God, & to set vp the desolacyon therof, and to geue vs an hedge in Iuda and Ierusalem. ¹⁰ And now O our God, what shall we say after thys? for we haue forsaken thy commaundementes, ¹¹ whiche thou hast commaunded by thy seruauntes the Prophetes, and sayde: The lande vnto whiche ye go to possesse, it is an vncleane land thorow the fylthynes of the people of the landes, in their abhominacyons, wherwyth they haue made it ful of vnclennes on euery syde. ¹² Therfore shall ye not geue your doughters vnto their sounes, and their doughters shal ye not take vnto your sonnes & seke not their peace & welthe for euer, that ye maye be stronge, and enioye the good in the lande, & that ye and youre chyldren may haue the enheritaunce of it for euermore. ¹³ And after all thys that is come vpon vs (because of oure euyll deades & greate trespace) thou oure God hast spared oure wyckednesse, and hast geuen vs a delyueraunce as it is come to passe thys daye. ¹⁴ As for vs, we haue turned backe, & haue let go thy commaundementes, to make contracte wyth the people of these abhomynacyons. Wylte thou then be wrothe at vs, tyl we be vtterlye consumed, so that nothing remaine and tyll there be no delyueraunce? ¹⁵ O Lorde God of Israell, thou arte ryghteous, for we remayne yet escaped, as it is thys daye. Beholde in thy presence are we in oure trespace, for because of it is there no standynge before the.

Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When these thynges were done, the rulers came to me, and sayde. The people of Israel, and the preastes, and Leuites are not separated from the people of the landes (as touchynge their abhominacyons) namely of the Cananites, Hethites, Pheresites, Iebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egypcians, and Amorites. ² For they haue taken the daughters of the same to them selues and to their sonnes, and the holy sede is mixte with the nacions in the lande: and the hande of the princes & rulers hath bene principall in this trespace. ³ And when I hearde this saying, I rente my clothes and my rayment, and pluckte of the heer of my heade, and of my beerd, and sate mourninge. ⁴ And there resorted vnto me all soch as feared the wordes of the Lorde God of Israel, because of the transgression of the people of the captiuite. And I sate mournynge vntyll the euenynge sacryfice. ⁵ And aboute the euenynge sacrifice, I rose vp fro my heuynes, and rente my clothes and my rayment, and fell vpon my knees, and spred out my handes vnto the Lorde my God, ⁶ and sayde. My God, I am ashamed, and darre not lyfte vp myne eyes vnto the my God: for oure wyckednesses are growne ouer oure heed, and oure trespace is waxen greate vnto the heauen. ⁷ Sence the tyme of oure fathers haue we bene in greate trespace vnto this daye, and because of oure wyckednesses haue we and oure kynges bene deliuered into the hande of the kynges of the nacyons, into the swerde, into captiuite, into shame, and into confusion of face, as it is to se this daye. ⁸ And now is there a lytle & sodayne graciousnes come from the Lorde oure God, in causynge some of vs to escape, and that he maye geue vs a nayle in hys holy place, and that oure God maye lyghte oure eyes, and geue vs a lytle lyfe to take breth in oure bondage. ⁹ For we are bondmen, & oure God hath not forsaken vs in oure bondage, and hath enclyned mercy vnto vs in the syghte of the kynges of Persia, to geue vs lyfe, to sett vp the house of oure God, and to redresse the desolacion therof, and to geue vs a wall in Iuda and Ierusalem. ¹⁰ And now, O oure God, what shall we saye after this? for we haue forsaken thy commaundementes, ¹¹ whych thou hast commaunded by thy seruauntes the prophetes, sayeng: The lande vnto which ye go to possesse, it is an vncleane land, because of the fylthynes of the people of the landes, whych with theyr abhominacions haue made it full of vncleanesse on euery syde. ¹² Therfore shall ye not geue youre daughters vnto their sonnes, and their daughters shall ye not take vnto your sonnes, ner seke their peace & welth for euer, that ye maye be strong, & enioye the good in the land, & that ye & youre chyldren maye haue the enheritaunce of it for euermore. ¹³ And after that all these thinges are come vpon vs (because of oure euell dedes & greate trespaces) thou oure God hast thrust downe oure wickednesses, & hast geuen vs a delyueraunce, ¹⁴ And yf we turne backe agayne, to let go thy commaundementes, and make contracte with the people of these abhominacions, wilt thou not then be wroth at vs (& not without cause) tyl we be vtterly consumed, so that nothyng remayne, and tyll there be no delyueraunce? ¹⁵ O Lord God of Israel, thou art ryghteous, for we remayne yet escaped, at it is to se this daye. Behold also, in thy presence are we in oure trespaces, & because of it maye we not stande before the.

Geneva⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When as these things were done, the rulers came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the Priestes, and the Leuites are not separated from the people of the lands (as touching their abominations) to wit, of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Iebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. ² For they haue taken their daughters to theselues, and to their sonnes, and they haue mixed the holy seede with the people of the landes, and the hande of the princes and rulers hath bene chiefe in this trespasse. ³ But when I heard this saying, I rent my clothes and my garment, and pluckt off the heare of mine head, and of my beard, and sate downe astonied. ⁴ And there assembled vnto me all that feared the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of them of the captiuitie. And I sate downe astonied vntil the euening sacrifice. ⁵ And at the euening sacrifice I arose vp from mine heauinesse, and when I had rent my clothes and my garment, I fell vpon my knees, and spred out mine hands vnto the Lord my God, ⁶ And said, O my God, I am confounded and ashamed, to lift vp mine eyes vnto thee my God: for our iniquities are increased ouer our head, and our trespasse is growen vp vnto the heauen. ⁷ From the dayes of our fathers haue we bin in a great trespasse vnto this day, and for our iniquities haue we, our Kings, and our Priestes bene deliuered into the hand of the kings of the lands, vnto the sword, into captiuitie, into a spoyle, and into confusion of face, as appeareth this day. ⁸ And now for a litle space grace hath bene shewed from the Lord our God, in causing a remnant to escape, and in giuing vs a nayle in his holy place, that our God may light our eyes, and giue vs a litle reuiuing in our seruitude. ⁹ For though we were bondmen, yet our God hath not forsaken vs in our bondage, but hath enclined mercy vnto vs in the sight of the Kings of Persia, to giue vs life, and to erect the house of our God, and to redresse the places thereof, and to giue vs a wall in Iudah and in Ierusalem. ¹⁰ And nowe, our God, what shall we say after this? for we haue forsaken thy commandements, ¹¹ Which thou hast commanded by thy seruants the Prophets, saying, The land whereunto ye go to possesse it, is an vncleane land, because of the filthines of the people of the lands, which by their abominations, and by their vncleannes haue filled it from corner to corner. ¹² Now therfore shall ye not giue your daughters vnto their sonnes, neither shall ye take their daughters vnto your sonnes, nor seeke their peace nor wealth for euer, that yee may be strong and eate the goodnes of the lande, and leaue it for an inheritance to your sonnes for euer. ¹³ And after all that is come vpon vs for our euill deedes, and for our great trespasses, (seeing that thou our God hast stayed vs from being beneath for our iniquities, and hast giuen vs such deliuerance) ¹⁴ Should we returne to breake thy commadements, and ioyne in affinitie with the people of such abominations? wouldest not thou be angrie towarde vs till thou haddest consumed vs, so that there should be no remnant nor any escaping? ¹⁵ O Lord God of Israel, thou art iust, for we haue bene reserued to escape, as appeareth this day: beholde, we are before thee in our trespasse: therfore we canot stand before thee because of it.

Bishops⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When these thinges were done, the rulers came to me, and sayde: The people of Israel, and the priestes & Leuites are not separated from the people of the landes, as touching their abhominations: namely of the Chanaanites, Hethites, Pherezites, Iebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians, and Amorites ² For they haue taken the daughters of the same to them selues and to their sonnes, and the holy seede is mixed with the nations of the landes, & the hand of the princes and rulers hath ben principall in the trespasse ³ And when I heard this saying, I rent my clothes and my garment, & pluckt of the heere of my head & of my beard, and sate mourning ⁴ And there resorted vnto me all such as feared the wordes of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of the [people] of the captiuitie: And I sat mourning vntill the euening sacrifice ⁵ And about the euening sacrifice I arose vp from my heauinesse, and rent my clothes and my rayment, and fell vpon my knees, and spread out my handes vnto the Lorde my God ⁶ And sayde: My God, I am ashamed, and dare not lift vp myne eyes vnto thee my God: for our wickednesses are growen ouer our head, and our trespasse is waxed great vnto the heauen ⁷ Since the time of our fathers haue we ben in great trespasse vnto this day, and because of our wickednesses haue we and our kinges and our priestes ben deliuered into the hande of the kinges of the nations, vnto the sworde, into captiuitie, into a spoyle, and into confusion of face, as it is to see this day ⁸ And nowe for a litle space grace hath ben shewed from the Lorde our God, in causing a remnaunt to escape, and in geuing vs a nayle in his holy place, that our God may light our eyes, and geue vs a litle lyfe to take breath in our bondage ⁹ For we were bondmen, and yet our God hath not forsaken vs in our bondage, but hath enclined mercie vnto vs in the sight of the king of Persia, to geue vs lyfe to set vp the house of our God, and to redresse the desolation therof, and to geue vs a wall in Iuda and Hierusalem ¹⁰ And nowe O our God, what shall we say after this? for we haue forsaken thy commaundementes ¹¹ Whiche thou hast commaunded by thy seruauntes the prophetes, saying: The lande vnto which ye go to possesse, it is an vncleane lande, because of the filthinesse of the people of the landes, whiche with their abhominations haue made it full of vncleannesse on euery syde ¹² Therfore shal ye not geue your daughters vnto their sonnes, and their daughters shall ye not take vnto your sonnes, nor seke their peace and wealth for euer: that ye may be strong and enioy the goodnesse of the lande, and that ye and your children may haue the inheritaunce of it for euermore ¹³ And after that all these thinges are come vpon vs because of our euyll deedes and great trespasses, seyng that thou our God hast stayed vs from beyng beneath for our iniquities, and hast geuen vs such deliuerance ¹⁴ Shoulde we returne to breake thy commaundementes, and ioyne in affinitie with the people of these abhominations? wouldest not thou be angry towardes vs till thou hadst consumed vs, so that there should be no remnaunt, nor any escaping ¹⁵ O Lorde God of Israel, thou art righteous, for we remayne yet escaped, as it is to see this day: Beholde also, in thy presence are we in our trespasses, & because of it may we not stand before thee

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And after these things were accomplished, the princes came to me, saying: The people of Israel, and the priests and Levites have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, and from their abominations, namely, of the Chanaanites, and the Hethites, and the Pherezites, and the Jebusites, and the Ammonites, and the Moabites, and the Egyptians, and the Amorrhites. ² For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons, and they have mingled the holy seed with the people of the lands. And the hand of the princes and magistrates hath been first in this transgression. ³ And when I had heard this word, I rent my mantle and my coat, and plucked off the hairs of my head and my beard, and I sat down mourning. ⁴ And there were assembled to me all that feared the God of Israel, because of the transgression of those that were come from the captivity, and I sat sorrowful, until the evening sacrifice. ⁵ And at the evening sacrifice I rose up from my affliction, and having rent my mantle and my garment, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands to the Lord my God, ⁶ And said: My God I am confounded and ashamed to lift up my face to thee: for our iniquities are multiplied over our heads, and our sins are grown up even unto heaven, ⁷ From the days of our fathers: and we ourselves also have sinned grievously unto this day, and for our iniquities we and our kings, and our priests have been delivered into the hands of the kings of the lands, and to the sword, and to captivity, and to spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is at this day. ⁸ And now as a little, and for a moment has our prayer been made before the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant, and give us a pin in his holy place, and that our God would enlighten our eyes, and would give us a little life in our bondage. ⁹ For we are bondmen, and in our bondage our God hath not forsaken us, but hath extended mercy upon us before the king of the Persians, to give us life, and to set up the house of our God, and to rebuild the desolations thereof, and to give us a fence in Juda and Jerusalem. ¹⁰ And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments, ¹¹ Which thou hast commanded by the hand of thy servants the prophets, saying: The land which you go to possess, is an unclean land, according to the uncleanness of the people, and of other lands, with their abominations, who have filled it from mouth to mouth with their filth. ¹² Now therefore give not your daughters to their sons, and take not their daughters for your sons, and seek not their peace, nor their prosperity for ever: that you may be strengthened, and may eat the good things of the land, and may have your children your heirs for ever. ¹³ And after all that is come upon us, for our most wicked deeds, and our great sin, seeing that thou our God hast saved us from our iniquity, and hast given us a deliverance as at this day, ¹⁴ That we should not turn away, nor break thy commandments, nor join in marriage with the people of these abominations. Art thou angry with us unto utter destruction, not to leave us a remnant to be saved? ¹⁵ O Lord God of Israel, thou art just: for we remain yet to be saved as at this day. Behold we are before thee in our sin, for there can be no standing before thee in this matter.

KJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. ² For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass. ³ And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astonied. ⁴ Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of those that had been carried away; and I sat astonied until the evening sacrifice. ⁵ And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God, ⁶ And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens. ⁷ Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day. ⁸ And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage. ⁹ For we were bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the desolations thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. ¹⁰ And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments, ¹¹ Which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness. ¹² Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever. ¹³ And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this; ¹⁴ Should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping? ¹⁵ O LORD God of Israel, thou art righteous: for we remain yet escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this.

KJV_Cambridge⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. ² For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass. ³ And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astonied. ⁴ Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of those that had been carried away; and I sat astonied until the evening sacrifice. ⁵ And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God, ⁶ And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens. ⁷ Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day. ⁸ And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage. ⁹ For we were bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the desolations thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. ¹⁰ And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments, ¹¹ Which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness. ¹² Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever. ¹³ And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this; ¹⁴ Should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping? ¹⁵ O LORD God of Israel, thou art righteous: for we remain yet escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this.

1 H3615 Now when these things were done [H8763] H8269 , the princes H5066 came [H8738] H559 to me, saying [H8800] H5971 , The people H3478 of Israel H3548 , and the priests H3881 , and the Levites H914 , have not separated [H8738] H5971 themselves from the people H776 of the lands H8441 , doing according to their abominations H3669 , even of the Canaanites H2850 , the Hittites H6522 , the Perizzites H2983 , the Jebusites H5984 , the Ammonites H4125 , the Moabites H4713 , the Egyptians H567 , and the Amorites.

2 H5375 For they have taken [H8804] H1323 of their daughters H1121 for themselves, and for their sons H6944 : so that the holy H2233 seed H6148 have mingled [H8694] H5971 themselves with the people H776 of those lands H3027 : yea, the hand H8269 of the princes H5461 and rulers H7223 hath been chief H4604 in this trespass.

3 H8085 And when I heard [H8800] H1697 this thing H7167 , I rent [H8804] H899 my garment H4598 and my mantle H4803 , and plucked off [H8799] H8181 the hair H7218 of my head H2206 and of my beard H3427 , and sat down [H8799] H8074 astonied [H8789] .

4 H622 Then were assembled [H8735] H2730 unto me every one that trembled H1697 at the words H430 of the God H3478 of Israel H4604 , because of the transgression H1473 of those that had been carried away H3427 ; and I sat [H8802] H8074 astonied [H8789] H6153 until the evening H4503 sacrifice.

5 H6153 And at the evening H4503 sacrifice H6965 I arose up [H8804] H8589 from my heaviness H7167 ; and having rent [H8800] H899 my garment H4598 and my mantle H3766 , I fell [H8799] H1290 upon my knees H6566 , and spread out [H8799] H3709 my hands H3068 unto the LORD H430 my God,

6 H559 And said [H8799] H430 , O my God H954 , I am ashamed [H8804] H3637 and blush [H8738] H7311 to lift up [H8687] H6440 my face H430 to thee, my God H5771 : for our iniquities H7235 are increased [H8804] H4605 over H7218 our head H819 , and our trespass H1431 is grown up [H8804] H8064 unto the heavens.

7 H3117 Since the days H1 of our fathers H1419 have we been in a great H819 trespass H3117 unto this day H5771 ; and for our iniquities H4428 have we, our kings H3548 , and our priests H5414 , been delivered [H8738] H3027 into the hand H4428 of the kings H776 of the lands H2719 , to the sword H7628 , to captivity H961 , and to a spoil H1322 , and to confusion H6440 of face H3117 , as it is this day.

8 H4592 And now for a little H7281 space H8467 grace H3068 hath been shewed from the LORD H430 our God H7604 , to leave [H8687] H6413 us a remnant to escape H5414 , and to give [H8800] H3489 us a nail H6944 in his holy H4725 place H430 , that our God H215 may lighten [H8687] H5869 our eyes H5414 , and give [H8800] H4592 us a little H4241 reviving H5659 in our bondage.

9 H5650 For we were bondmen H430 ; yet our God H5800 hath not forsaken [H8804] H5659 us in our bondage H5186 , but hath extended [H8686] H2617 mercy H6440 unto us in the sight H4428 of the kings H6539 of Persia H5414 , to give [H8800] H4241 us a reviving H7311 , to set up [H8788] H1004 the house H430 of our God H5975 , and to repair [H8687] H2723 the desolations H5414 thereof, and to give [H8800] H1447 us a wall H3063 in Judah H3389 and in Jerusalem.

10 H430 And now, O our God H559 , what shall we say [H8799] H310 after H5800 this? for we have forsaken [H8804] H4687 thy commandments,

11 H6680 Which thou hast commanded [H8765] H3027 by H5650 thy servants H5030 the prophets H559 , saying [H8800] H776 , The land H935 , unto which ye go [H8802] H3423 to possess [H8800] H5079 it, is an unclean H776 land H5079 with the filthiness H5971 of the people H776 of the lands H8441 , with their abominations H4390 , which have filled [H8765] H6310 it from one end H6310 to another H2932 with their uncleanness.

12 H5414 Now therefore give [H8799] H1323 not your daughters H1121 unto their sons H5375 , neither take [H8799] H1323 their daughters H1121 unto your sons H1875 , nor seek [H8799] H7965 their peace H2896 or their wealth H5704 for H5769 ever H2388 : that ye may be strong [H8799] H398 , and eat [H8804] H2898 the good H776 of the land H3423 , and leave it for an inheritance [H8689] H1121 to your children H5769 for ever.

13 H310 And after H935 all that is come [H8802] H7451 upon us for our evil H4639 deeds H1419 , and for our great H819 trespass H430 , seeing that thou our God H2820 hast punished [H8804] H4295 us less H5771 than our iniquities H5414 deserve, and hast given [H8804] H6413 us such deliverance as this;

14 H7725 Should we again [H8799] H6565 break [H8687] H4687 thy commandments H2859 , and join in affinity [H8692] H5971 with the people H8441 of these abominations H599 ? wouldest not thou be angry [H8799] H3615 with us till thou hadst consumed [H8763] H7611 us, so that there should be no remnant H6413 nor escaping?

15 H3068 O LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H6662 , thou art righteous H7604 : for we remain [H8738] H6413 yet escaped H3117 , as it is this day H6440 : behold, we are before H819 thee in our trespasses H5975 : for we cannot stand [H8800] H6440 before thee because of this.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When these things were done, the chiefs came to me and said, The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the. neighbouring tribes. In their abominations, the Ethites, the Pherezites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, and the Moserites, and the Amorites, are the same with the Chananites. ² For they have taken some of their daughters for themselves, and their sons; and the holy seed is mingled with the tribes of the neighbouring regions. And the hand of the chiefs is principally concerned in this transgression. ³ And when I heard this I rent my garments, and started up and tore the hair of my head and my beard. Then I sat down mourning. ⁴ And there assembled to me every one who, in the defection of the captivity, continued to follow the word of the God of Israel: but as for me, I continued sitting disconsolate, till the evening sacrifice. ⁵ And at the evening sacrifice I arose from my humiliation; having rent my garments, I rose up, and fell upon my knees, and spreading forth my hands to the Lord God, ⁶ I said: Lord, I blush, and am ashamed to lift up, O my God, my face to thee; because our iniquities are multiplied over our head, and our transgressions are heaped up to heaven. ⁷ From the days of our fathers we are in great transgression, even to this day. And for our inquities, we and our kings and our children, have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the nations, to the sword and to captivity, and to spoiling, and to confusion of face, as at this day. ⁸ Now, though our God hath had compassion on us, so as to suffer a remnant of us to escape, and to give us a fixture in the place of his sanctuary, that he may enlighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage; ⁹ Though we are slaves, the Lord our God hath not quite forsaken us, but hath extended mercy to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, by their raising up the house of our God, and repairing the desolations thereof, and giving us an enclosure in Juda and Jerusalem. ¹⁰ What must we say, our God? After this we have forsaken the commandments ¹¹ which thou gavest us by the ministry of thy servants, the prophets, saying, The land which you are going to possess, is a land subject to change by the removal of the people of the nations for their abominations, with the filth of which they have filled it from one end to the other; ¹² now therefore, give not your daughters to their sons, nor take any of their daughters for your sons; nor shall you seek their peace or their welfare forever, that you may be strong, and eat the good things of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children forever. ¹³ Now after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for this our great transgression; though there is no God like our God; though thou hast blotted out our iniquities and given us deliverance; ¹⁴ yet we have returned to break thy commandments, and to intermarry with the people of these regions. Be not provoked against us to our utter destruction, so that not a remnant may escape. ¹⁵ O Lord God of Israel, thou art gracious; for a remnant of us have escaped, as at this day. Behold we are before thee in our transgressions, though there is no standing before thee for this.

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. ² For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass. ³ And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down confounded. ⁴ Then were assembled to me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of those that had been carried away; and I sat confounded until the evening sacrifice. ⁵ And at the evening sacrifice I arose from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands to the LORD my God, ⁶ And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up to the heavens. ⁷ Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass to this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day. ⁸ And now for a little space grace hath been shown from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage. ⁹ For we were bond-men; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the desolations of it, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. ¹⁰ And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments, ¹¹ Which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, to which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness. ¹² Now therefore give not your daughters to their sons, neither take their daughters to your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever. ¹³ And after all that hath come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this; ¹⁴ Should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations? wouldst thou not be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping? ¹⁵ O LORD God of Israel, thou art righteous: for we having escaped, remain yet, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this.

1 H3615 [H8763] Now when these things were done H8269 , the princes H5066 [H8738] came H559 [H8800] to me, saying H5971 , The people H3478 of Israel H3548 , and the priests H3881 , and the Levites H914 [H8738] , have not separated H5971 themselves from the people H776 of the lands H8441 , doing according to their abominations H3669 , even of the Canaanites H2850 , the Hittites H6522 , the Perizzites H2983 , the Jebusites H5984 , the Ammonites H4125 , the Moabites H4713 , the Egyptians H567 , and the Amorites.

2 H5375 [H8804] For they have taken H1323 of their daughters H1121 for themselves, and for their sons H6944 : so that the holy H2233 seed H6148 [H8694] have mixed H5971 themselves with the people H776 of those lands H3027 : yea, the hand H8269 of the princes H5461 and rulers H7223 hath been first H4604 in this trespass.

3 H8085 [H8800] And when I heard H1697 this thing H7167 [H8804] , I tore H899 my garment H4598 and my mantle H4803 [H8799] , and plucked off H8181 the hair H7218 of my head H2206 and of my beard H3427 [H8799] , and sat down H8074 [H8789] appalled.

4 H622 [H8735] Then were assembled H2730 to me every one that trembled H1697 at the words H430 of the God H3478 of Israel H4604 , because of the transgression H1473 of those that had been carried away H3427 [H8802] ; and I sat H8074 [H8789] appalled H6153 until the evening H4503 sacrifice.

5 H6153 And at the evening H4503 sacrifice H6965 [H8804] I arose H8589 from my heaviness H7167 [H8800] ; and having torn H899 my garment H4598 and my mantle H3766 [H8799] , I fell H1290 upon my knees H6566 [H8799] , and spread out H3709 my hands H3068 to the LORD H430 my God,

6 H559 [H8799] And said H430 , O my God H954 [H8804] , I am ashamed H3637 [H8738] and blush H7311 [H8687] to lift up H6440 my face H430 to thee, my God H5771 : for our iniquities H7235 [H8804] are increased H4605 over H7218 our head H819 , and our trespass H1431 [H8804] is grown up H8064 to the heavens.

7 H3117 Since the days H1 of our fathers H1419 have we been in a great H819 trespass H3117 to this day H5771 ; and for our iniquities H4428 have we, our kings H3548 , and our priests H5414 [H8738] , been delivered H3027 into the hand H4428 of the kings H776 of the lands H2719 , to the sword H7628 , to captivity H961 , and to a spoil H1322 , and to confusion H6440 of face H3117 , as it is this day.

8 H4592 And now for a little H7281 moment H8467 grace H3068 hath been shown from the LORD H430 our God H7604 [H8687] , to leave H6413 us a remnant to escape H5414 [H8800] , and to give H3489 us a nail H6944 in his holy H4725 place H430 , that our God H215 [H8687] may enlighten H5869 our eyes H5414 [H8800] , and give H4592 us a little H4241 reviving H5659 in our bondage.

9 H5650 For we were slaves H430 ; yet our God H5800 [H8804] hath not forsaken H5659 us in our bondage H5186 [H8686] , but hath extended H2617 mercy H6440 to us in the sight H4428 of the kings H6539 of Persia H5414 [H8800] , to give H4241 us a reviving H7311 [H8788] , to set up H1004 the house H430 of our God H5975 [H8687] , and to repair H2723 the desolations H5414 [H8800] of it, and to give H1447 us a wall H3063 in Judah H3389 and in Jerusalem.

10 H430 And now, O our God H559 [H8799] , what shall we say H310 after H5800 [H8804] this? for we have forsaken H4687 thy commandments,

11 H6680 [H8765] Which thou hast commanded H3027 by H5650 thy servants H5030 the prophets H559 [H8800] , saying H776 , The land H935 [H8802] , where ye go H3423 [H8800] to possess H5079 it, is an unclean H776 land H5079 with the filthiness H5971 of the people H776 of the lands H8441 , with their abominations H4390 [H8765] , which have filled H6310 it from one end H6310 to another H2932 with their uncleanness.

12 H5414 [H8799] Now therefore give H1323 not your daughters H1121 to their sons H5375 [H8799] , neither take H1323 their daughters H1121 to your sons H1875 [H8799] , nor seek H7965 their peace H2896 or their wealth H5704 for H5769 ever H2388 [H8799] : that ye may be strong H398 [H8804] , and eat H2898 the good H776 of the land H3423 [H8689] , and leave it for an inheritance H1121 to your children H5769 for ever.

13 H310 And after H935 [H8802] all that hath come H7451 upon us for our evil H4639 deeds H1419 , and for our great H819 trespass H430 , seeing that thou our God H2820 [H8804] hast punished H4295 us less H5771 than our iniquities H5414 [H8804] deserve, and hast given H6413 us such deliverance as this;

14 H7725 [H8799] Should we again H6565 [H8687] break H4687 thy commandments H2859 [H8692] , and join in marriage H5971 with the people H8441 of these abominations H599 [H8799] ? wouldest thou not be angry H3615 [H8763] with us till thou hadst consumed H7611 us, so that there should be no remnant H6413 nor escaping?

15 H3068 O LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H6662 , thou art righteous H6413 : for we having escaped H7604 [H8738] , remain H3117 yet, as it is this day H6440 : behold, we are before H819 thee in our trespasses H5975 [H8800] : for we cannot stand H6440 before thee because of this.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And when these things were finished, the princes drew near to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands in their abominations, even the Chananite, the Ethite, the Pherezite, the Jebusite, the Ammonite, the Moabite, and the Moserite and the Amorite. ² For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and their sons; and the holy seed has passed among the nations of the lands, and the hand of the rulers has been first in this transgression. ³ And when I heard this thing, I rent my garments, and trembled, and plucked some of the hairs of my head and of my beard, and sat down mourning. ⁴ Then there assembled to me all that followed the word of the God of Israel, on account of the transgression of the captivity; and I remained mourning until the evening sacrifice. ⁵ And at the evening sacrifice I rose up from my humiliation; and when I had rent my garments, then I trembled, and I bow myself on my knees, and spread out my hands to the Lord God, ⁶ and I said, O Lord, I am ashamed and confounded, O my God, to lift up my face to thee: for our transgressions have abounded over our head, and our trespasses have increased even to heaven. ⁷ From the days of our fathers we have been in a great trespass until this day: and because of our iniquities we, and our kings, and our children, have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the Gentiles by the sword, and by captivity, and by spoil, and with shame of our face, as at this day. ⁸ And now our God has dealt mercifully with us, so as to leave us to escape, and to give us an establishment in the place of his sanctuary, to enlighten our eyes, and to give a little quickening in our servitude. ⁹ For we are slaves, yet in our servitude the Lord our God has not deserted us; and he has extended favour to us in the sight of the kings of the Persians, to give us a quickening, that they should raise up the house of our God, and restore the desolate places of it, and to give us a fence in Juda and Jerusalem. ¹⁰ What shall we say, our God, after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments, ¹¹ which thou hast given us by the hand of thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, into which ye go to inherit it, is a land subject to disturbance by the removal of the people of the nations for their abominations, wherewith they have filled it from one end to the other by their uncleanness. ¹² And now give not your daughters to their sons, and take not of their daughters for your sons, neither shall ye seek their peace or their good for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and transmit it as an inheritance to your children for ever. ¹³ And after all that is come upon us because of our evil deeds, and our great trespass, it is clear that there is none such as our God, for thou has lightly visited our iniquities, and given us deliverance; ¹⁴ whereas we have repeatedly broken thy commandments, and intermarried with the people of the lands: be not very angry with us to our utter destruction, so that there should be no remnant or escaping one. ¹⁵ O Lord God of Israel, thou art righteous; for we remain yet escaped, as at this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee on this account.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now when these things were accomplished, the princes approached me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the nations of the lands, notwithstanding their abominations, from the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the ‘Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Emorites; ² For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons; and the holy seed have mingled themselves with the nations of these lands; and the hand of the princes and rulers hath been the first in this trespass. ³ And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and I plucked out some of the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astounded. ⁴ And then assembled themselves unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the trespass of the exiles; and I sat astounded until the evening sacrifice. ⁵ And at the evening sacrifice I rose up from my fasting, and while rending my garment and my mantle, I knelt down upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the Lord my God. ⁶ And I said, O my God, I am ashamed and confounded to lift up my face unto thee, my God! for our iniquities are increased above our head, and our guiltiness is grown up as far as the heavens. ⁷ From the days of our fathers have we been in a great guiltiness even until this day; and through our iniquities have we been delivered, we, our kings, and our priests, into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to the shame of face, as it is this day. ⁸ And now for a little moment hath grace been extended from the Lord our God, to preserve us a remnant to escape, and to give us a stake in his holy place, that our God might enlighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage. ⁹ For we are bondmen: yet in our bondage hath our God not forsaken us, but hath extended unto us kindness before the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to exalt the house of our God, and to erect again its ruins, and to give us a fence in Judah and in Jerusalem. ¹⁰ And now what shall we say, O our God, after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments, ¹¹ Which thou hast commanded through means of thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to take possession thereof, is a land defiled through the defilement of the nations of the lands, through their abominations, with which they have filled it from one end to another through their uncleanness. ¹² And now your daughters shall ye not give unto their sons, and their daughters shall ye not take for your sons, and ye shall not seek their peace and their welfare unto eternity: in order that ye may be strong, and eat the best of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children unto eternity. ¹³ And after all that is come over us for our evil deeds, and for our great guiltiness, seeing that thou our God hast spared us punishing us less than our iniquities deserved, and hast given us such deliverance as this: ¹⁴ Should we again make void thy commandments, and make marriage with these people of abominations? wouldst thou not be angry with us even to make an end of us, so that there would not be any remnant or escape? ¹⁵ O Lord, God of Israel, thou art righteous; for we have been left a remnant that hath escaped, as it is this day; behold, we are before thee in our guiltiness; for there is no standing before thee because of this.

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And at the completion of these things, drawn nigh unto me have the heads, saying, `The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not been separated from the peoples of the lands, as to their abominations, even the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite, the Ammonite, the Moabite, the Egyptian, and the Amorite, ² for they have taken of their daughters to them, and to their sons, and the holy seed have mingled themselves among the peoples of the lands, and the hand of the heads and of the seconds have been first in this trespass.' ³ And at my hearing this word, I have rent my garment and my upper robe, and pluck out of the hair of my head, and of my beard, and sit astonished, ⁴ and unto me are gathered every one trembling at the words of the God of Israel, because of the trespass of the removal, and I am sitting astonished till the present of the evening.
⁵ And at the present of the evening I have risen from mine affliction, and at my rending my garment and my upper robe, then I bow down on my knees, and spread out my hands unto Jehovah my God, ⁶ and say, `O my God, I have been ashamed, and have blushed to lift up, O my God, my face unto Thee, for our iniquities have increased over the head, and our guilt hath become great unto the heavens. ⁷ `From the days of our fathers we are in great guilt unto this day, and in our iniquities we have been given—we, our kings, our priests—into the hand of the kings of the lands, with sword, with captivity, and with spoiling, and with shame of face, as at this day. ⁸ `And now, as a small moment hath grace been from Jehovah our God, to leave to us an escape, and to give to us a nail in His holy place, by our God's enlightening our eyes, and by giving us a little quickening in our servitude; ⁹ for servants we are, and in our servitude our God hath not forsaken us, and stretcheth out unto us kindness before the kings of Persia, to give to us a quickening to lift up the house of our God, and to cause its wastes to cease, and to give to us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. ¹⁰ `And now, what do we say, O our God, after this? for we have forsaken Thy commands, ¹¹ that Thou hast commanded by the hands of thy servants the prophets, saying, The land into which ye are going to possess it, is a land of impurity, by the impurity of the people of the lands, by their abominations with which they have filled it—from mouth unto mouth—by their uncleanness; ¹² and now, your daughters ye do not give to their sons, and their daughters ye do not take to your sons, and ye do not seek their peace, and their good—unto the age, so that ye are strong, and have eaten the good of the land, and given possession to your sons unto the age. ¹³ `And after all that hath come upon us for our evil works, and for our great guilt (for Thou, O our God, hast kept back of the rod from our iniquities, and hast given to us an escape like this), ¹⁴ do we turn back to break Thy commands, and to join ourselves in marriage with the people of these abominations? art not Thou angry against us—even to consumption—till there is no remnant and escaped part? ¹⁵ `O Jehovah, God of Israel, righteous art Thou, for we have been left an escape, as it is this day; lo, we are before Thee in our guilt, for there is none to stand before Thee concerning this.'

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And in these things being finished, the chiefs came near to me, saying, The people of Israel and the priests and the Levites were not separated from the people of the lands according to their abominations, to the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite, the Ammonite, the Moabite, the Egyptian and the imorite. ² For they took from their daughters to themselves and to their sons: and the holy seed mingled themselves with the people of the lands: and the hand of the chiefs and the prophets was the first in this transgression. ³ And in my hearing this word I rent my garment and my robe, and I shall pluck off from the hair of my head and my beard, and I shall sit down, being astonished. ⁴ And to me all will assemble, trembling at the word of the God of Israel for the transgression of the exile; and I sat astonished till the sacrifice of the evening. ⁵ And at the sacrifice of the evening I rose up from my humbling; and in my rending my garment and my robe and I shall bend upon my knees and spread forth my hands to Jehovah my God. ⁶ And saying, My God, I was ashamed and disgraced to lift up my face, O my God, to thee: for our iniquities were multiplied over the head, and our guilt was magnified even to the heavens. ⁷ From the days of our fathers we are in a great trespass even to this day; and in our iniquities we were given, we, our kings, our priests, into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity and to plunder, and to shame of face as this day. ⁸ And now for a little moment grace was from Jehovah our God to leave to us an escaping, and to give to us a nail in his holy place, for our God to enlighten our eyes and to give us a little preservation of our life in our servitude. ⁹ For we are servants; and in our servitude God forsook us not, and he extended to us mercy before the kings of Persia, to give to us the preservation of life to set up the house of our God, and to cause its desolations to stand, and to give to us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. ¹⁰ And now what shall we say, O our God, after this? for we forsook thy commands, ¹¹ Which thou didst command by the hand of thy servants the prophets, saying, The land which ye are coming in to inherit it being a land of uncleanness in the uncleanness of the people of the lands in their abominations which filled it from mouth to mouth in their pollution. ¹² And now ye shall not give your daughters to their sons, and ye shall not take their daughters to your sons, and ye shall not seek their peace and their good even forever, so that ye shall be strong and eat the good of the land, and cause to your sons to inherit even forever. ¹³ And after all coming upon us for our evil deeds, and in our great guilt, for thou our God didst withhold below our iniquities, and didst give to us an escaping according to this. ¹⁴ Shall we turn back to break thy commands and to contract marriage with the people of these abonminations? Wilt thou not be angry with us even to finishing, for not a remaining and escaping. ¹⁵ O Jehovah God of Israel, thou art just: for we remained an escaping as this day: behold us before thee in our guilts; for not to stand before thee for

Darby⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now when these things were completed, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, according to their abominations, [even] of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites; ² for they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons, and have mingled the holy seed with the peoples of the lands; and the hand of the princes and rulers has been chief in this unfaithfulness. ³ And when I heard this thing, I rent my mantle and my garment, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down overwhelmed. ⁴ Then were assembled to me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the unfaithfulness of those that had been carried away; and I sat overwhelmed until the evening oblation. ⁵ And at the evening oblation I arose up from my humiliation; and with my mantle and my garment rent, I fell on my knees, and spread out my hands to Jehovah my God, ⁶ and said: O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God; for our iniquities are increased over [our] head, and our trespass is grown up to the heavens. ⁷ Since the days of our fathers, we have been in great trespass to this day; and for our iniquities we, our kings, our priests, have been given into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, and to captivity, and to spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day. ⁸ And now for a little space there hath been favour from Jehovah our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage. ⁹ For we are bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us before the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God and to repair the ruins thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. ¹⁰ And now, what shall we say, our God, after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments, ¹¹ which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess [it], is an unclean land through the filthiness of the peoples of the lands, through their abominations with which they have filled it from one end to another through their uncleanness. ¹² Now therefore give not your daughters to their sons, neither take their daughters to your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity for ever; that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever. ¹³ And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities [deserve], and hast given us such deliverance as this, ¹⁴ should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the peoples of these abominations? wouldest thou not be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor any to escape? ¹⁵ Jehovah, God of Israel, thou art righteous; for we are a remnant that is escaped, as [it is] this day. Behold, we are before thee in our trespasses; for there is no standing before thee because of this.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now when these things were done, the princes drew near unto me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, [doing] according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. ² For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons; so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the peoples of the lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass. ³ And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astonied. ⁴ Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the trespass of them of the captivity; and I sat astonied until the evening oblation. ⁵ And at the evening oblation I arose up from my humiliation, even with my garment and my mantle rent; and I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God; ⁶ and I said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our guiltiness is grown up unto the heavens. ⁷ Since the days of our fathers we have been exceeding guilty unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to spoiling, and to confusion of face, as it is this day. ⁸ And now for a little moment grace hath been shewed from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage. ⁹ For we are bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the ruins thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. ¹⁰ And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments, ¹¹ which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land through the uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, through their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their filthiness. ¹² now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity t for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever. ¹³ And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great guilt, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such a remnant, ¹⁴ shall we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the peoples that do these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape? ¹⁵ O LORD, the God of Israel, thou art righteous; for we are left a remnant that is escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our guiltiness; for none can stand before thee because of this.

ASV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now when these things were done, the princes drew near unto me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, [doing] according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. ² For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the peoples of the lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass. ³ And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my robe, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down confounded. ⁴ Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the trespass of them of the captivity; and I sat confounded until the evening oblation.
⁵ And at the evening oblation I arose up from my humiliation, even with my garment and my robe rent; and I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto Jehovah my God; ⁶ and I said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God; for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our guiltiness is grown up unto the heavens. ⁷ Since the days of our fathers we have been exceeding guilty unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to plunder, and to confusion of face, as it is this day. ⁸ And now for a little moment grace hath been showed from Jehovah our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage. ⁹ For we are bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended lovingkindness unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the ruins thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. ¹⁰ And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments, ¹¹ which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land through the uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, through their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their filthiness: ¹² now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity for ever; that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever. ¹³ And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great guilt, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such a remnant, ¹⁴ shall we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the peoples that do these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape? ¹⁵ O Jehovah, the God of Israel, thou art righteous; for we are left a remnant that is escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our guiltiness; for none can stand before thee because of this.

1 H3615 Now when these things were done, H8269 the princes H5066 drew H559 near unto me, saying, H5971 The people H3478 of Israel, H3548 and the priests H3881 and the Levites, H914 have not separated H5971 themselves from the peoples H776 of the lands, H8441 doing according to their abominations, H3669 even of the Canaanites, H2850 the Hittites, H6522 the Perizzites, H2983 the Jebusites, H5984 the Ammonites, H4125 the Moabites, H4713 the Egyptians, H567 and the Amorites.

2 H5375 For they have taken H1323 of their daughters H1121 for themselves and for their sons, H6944 so that the holy H2233 seed H6148 have mingled H5971 themselves with the peoples H776 of the lands: H3027 Yes, the hand H8269 of the princes H5461 and rulers H7223 has been chief H4604 in this trespass.

3 H8085 And when I heard H1697 this thing, H7167 I tore H899 my garment H4598 and my robe, H4803 and plucked off H8181 the hair H7218 of my head H2206 and of my beard, H3427 and sat down H8074 confounded.

4 H622 Then were assembled H2730 unto me every one that trembled H1697 at the words H430 of the God H3478 of Israel, H4604 because of the trespass H1473 of them of the captivity; H3427 and I sat H8074 confounded H6153 until the evening H4503 oblation.

5 H6153 And at the evening H4503 oblation H6965 I arose up H8589 from my humiliation, H899 even with my garment H899 and my robe H7167 tore; H3766 and I fell H1290 upon my knees, H6566 and spread out H3709 my hands H3068 unto Jehovah H430 my God;

6 H559 and I said, H430 O my God, H954 I am ashamed H3637 and blush H7311 to lift up H6440 my face H430 to you, my God; H5771 for our iniquities H7235 are increased H4605 over H7218 our head, H819 and our guiltiness H1431 is grown up H8064 unto the heavens.

7 H3117 Since the days H1 of our fathers H1419 we have been exceedingly H819 guilty H3117 unto this day; H5771 and for our iniquities H4428 have we, our kings, H3548 and our priests, H5414 been delivered H3027 into the hand H4428 of the kings H776 of the lands, H2719 to the sword, H7628 to captivity, H961 and to plunder, H1322 and to confusion H6440 of face, H3117 as it is this day.

8 H4592 And now for a little H7281 moment H8467 grace H3068 has been showed from Jehovah H430 our God, H7604 to leave H6413 us a remnant to escape, H5414 and to give H3489 us a nail H6944 in his holy H4725 place, H430 that our God H215 may lighten H5869 our eyes, H5414 and give H4592 us a little H4241 reviving H5659 in our bondage.

9 H5650 For we are bondmen; H430 yet our God H5800 has not forsaken H5659 us in our bondage, H5186 but has extended H2617 lovingkindness H6440 unto us in the sight H4428 of the kings H6539 of Persia, H5414 to give H4241 us a reviving, H7311 to set up H1004 the house H430 of our God, H5975 and to repair H2723 the ruins H5414 there, and to give H1447 us a wall H3063 in Judah H3389 and in Jerusalem.

10 H430 And now, O our God, H559 what shall we say H310 after H5800 this? for we have forsaken H4687 your commandments,

11 H6680 which you have commanded H3027 by H5650 your servants H5030 the prophets, H559 saying, H776 The land, H935 unto which you go H3423 to possess H5079 it, is an unclean H776 land H5079 through the uncleanness H5971 of the peoples H776 of the lands, H8441 through their abominations, H4390 which have filled H6310 it from one end H6310 to another H2932 with their filthiness:

12 H5414 now therefore give H1323 not your daughters H1121 unto their sons, H5375 neither take H1323 their daughters H1121 unto your sons, H1875 nor seek H7965 their peace H2896 or their prosperity H5704 for H5769 ever; H2388 that you may be strong, H398 and eat H2898 the good H776 of the land, H3423 and leave it for an inheritance H1121 to your sons H5769 for ever.

13 H310 And after H935 all that is come H7451 upon us for our evil H4639 deeds, H1419 and for our great H819 guilt, H430 seeing that you our God H2820 have punished H4295 us less H5771 than our iniquities H5414 deserve, and have given H6413 us such a remnant,

14 H7725 shall we again H6565 break H4687 your commandments, H2859 and join in affinity H5971 with the peoples H8441 that do these abominations? H599 would not you be angry H3615 with us until you had consumed H7611 us, so that there should be no remnant, H6413 nor any to escape?

15 H3068 O Jehovah, H430 the God H3478 of Israel, H6662 you are righteous; H7604 for we are left a remnant H6413 that is escaped, H3117 as it is this day: H6440 behold, we are before H819 you in our guiltiness; H5975 for none can stand H6440 before you because of this.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now when these things were done, the princes drew near unto me, saying: 'The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. ² For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons; so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the peoples of the lands; yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been first in this faithlessness.' ³ And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down appalled. ⁴ Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the faithlessness of them of the captivity; and I sat appalled until the evening offering. ⁵ And at the evening offering I arose up from my fasting, even with my garment and my mantle rent; and I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God; ⁶ and I said: 'O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to Thee, my God; for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our guiltiness is grown up unto the heavens. ⁷ Since the days of our fathers we have been exceeding guilty unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to spoiling, and to confusion of face, as it is this day. ⁸ And now for a little moment grace hath been shown from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in His holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage. ⁹ For we are bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the ruins thereof, and to give us a fence in Judah and in Jerusalem. ¹⁰ And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken Thy commandments, ¹¹ which Thou hast commanded by Thy servants the prophets, saying: The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land through the uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, through their abominations, wherewith they have filled it from one end to another with their filthiness. ¹² Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity for ever; that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever. ¹³ And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great guilt, seeing that Thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such a remnant, ¹⁴ shall we again break Thy commandments, and make marriages with the peoples that do these abominations? wouldest not Thou be angry with us till Thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape? ¹⁵ O LORD, the God of Israel, Thou art righteous; for we are left a remnant that is escaped, as it is this day; behold, we are before Thee in our guiltiness; for none can stand before Thee because of this.'

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now, when these things were ended, the rulers drew near unto me, saying, The people of Israel and the priests and the Levites have not kept themselves separate from the peoples of the lands,––in view of their abominations–even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites; ² for they have taken of their daughters, for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy seed have intermingled themselves among the peoples of the lands,––and, the hand of the rulers and the deputies, hath, in this unfaithfulness, been, foremost. ³ When I heard this thing, I rent my garment, and my robe,––and tore out of the hair of my head and my beard, and sat stunned. ⁴ Then, unto me, were gathered, all who trembled at the words of the God of Israel, concerning the unfaithfulness of them who had been exiled,––but, I, sat stunned, until the evening gift.
⁵ And, at the evening gift, I arose from mine affliction, which had been accompanied by the rending of my garment and my robe,––and I bowed upon my knees, and spread forth my hands unto Yahweh my God; ⁶ and said, O my God, I turn pale and am ashamed, to lift up, O my God, my face unto thee,––for, our iniquities, have multiplied above the head, and our guilt hath magnified itself unto the heavens. ⁷ Since the days of our fathers, we, have been in great guilt, until this day,––and, for our iniquities, have we been given up––we, our kings, our priests,––into the hand of the kings of the lands, by sword and by captivity and by spoiling and by a turning pale of face, as at this day. ⁸ And, now, for a very little moment, hath come favour from Yahweh our God, in leaving to us a remnant to escape, and in giving to us a nail in his holy place,––that our God may enlighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage. ⁹ For, bondmen, we are, but, in our bondage, hath our God not forsaken us,––but extended unto us lovingkindness before the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up on high the house of our God, to raise up the desolations thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. ¹⁰ But, now, what can we say, O our God, after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments, ¹¹ which thou didst command by the hand of thy servants the prophets, saying, As for the land which, ye, are entering to possess, an impure land, it is, with the impurity of the peoples of the lands,––with their abominations, which have filled it from one end to the other, with their uncleanness. ¹² Now, therefore, your daughters, do not ye give to their sons, and, their daughters, do not ye take for your sons, neither shall ye seek their prosperity nor their pleasure unto times age–abiding,––to the end ye may become strong, and may eat the good of the land, and may suffer your children to possess it, unto times age–abiding. ¹³ And, after all that hath come upon us, for our wicked doings, and for our great guilt––For, thou, O our God, hast spared us, punishing us less than our iniquities deserved, and hast given us a deliverance such as this, ¹⁴ should we again break thy commandments and join ourselves by affinity of marriage with the peoples of these abominations,––wouldst thou not be angry with us, unto a full end, that there should be neither remainder nor deliverance? ¹⁵ O Yahweh, God of Israel, righteous thou art, for we have had left us a deliverance as at this day,––here we are, before thee, in our guilty deeds, for there is no standing before thee, because of this thing!

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ After the conclusion of these events, the chiefs came close to me, saying:The people of Israel and the priests and the Levites have not kept themselves separate from the peoples of the countries despite their abhorrent acts, those of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite, the Ammonite, the Moabite, the Egyptian and the Amorite. ² For they have taken up some of their daughters for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy seed has become mixed with the peoples of these countries. And the hand of the chiefs and the prefects has been first in this offense. ³ When I heard about this matter, I tore my garment and my robe and scraped some of the hair of my head and my beard and sat down in desolation. ⁴ Around me were gathering all those trembling at the words of the Elohim of Israel on account of the offense of the sons of deportation. And I continued sitting in desolation until the evening approach present. ⁵ Then at the time of the evening approach present I arose from my self-abasement and, with my garment and my robe torn on me, I bowed down on my knees and spread out my palms to Yahweh my Elohi. ⁶ and said:My Elohim, I am ashamed and confounded to raise up my face to You, my Elohim, for our depravities, they are abundant, above our heads, and our guilt is towering unto the heavens. ⁷ From the days of our fathers we have been in great guilt until this day; because of our depravities we ourselves, our kings, our priests have been given into the hand of the kings of the countries, to the sword, to captivity, to plundering and to shame of face, just as this day. ⁸ Yet now for a little moment, grace from Yahweh our Elohim has come to leave us as a remnant for deliverance and to give us a peg in His holy place, so that our Elohim may enlighten our eyes and give us a little revival in our servitudes. ⁹ Though we are slaves, our Elohim has not forsaken us in our servitudes; He is stretching out His benignity toward us before the kings of Persia in giving us a revival to raise up the House of our Elohim and to let its deserted places stand firm and in giving us a barrier-wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. ¹⁰ And now, what shall we say after this, O our Elohim? For we have forsaken Your instruction. ¹¹ that You enjoined on us by means of Your servants the prophets, saying, The land that you are entering to tenant it, a land of impurity is it, because of the impurity of the peoples of the countries and their abhorrences with which they have filled it from edge to edge with their uncleanness. ¹² Now then, you must not give your daughters to their sons, and you must not take up their daughters for your sons. And you shall not seek after their welfare and their good until the eon, so that you may be unyielding and eat the good of the land and leave it as a tenancy to your sons until the eon. ¹³ After all that has come over us because of our evil deeds and our great guilt--though You, O our Elohim, have kept back, punishing us less than our depravity deserves, and You have given us a deliverance, such as this-. ¹⁴ shall we again quash Your instructions by intermarrying with the peoples who commit these abhorrences? Are You not angry with us to the point of entirely destroying us until there is no remnant and deliverance? ¹⁵ O Yahweh Elohim of Israel, You are the Righteous One! For we are left as a remnant for deliverance, as at this day. Here we are before You in our guilt, though no one can stand before You on account of this.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now after these things were done, the captains came to me and said, The people of Israel and the priests and Levites have not kept themselves separate from the people of the lands, but have taken part in the disgusting ways of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. ² For they have taken their daughters for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy seed has been mixed with the peoples of the lands; and in fact the captains and rulers have been the first to do this evil. ³ And hearing this, with signs of grief and pulling out the hair of my head and my chin, I took my seat on the earth deeply troubled. ⁴ Then everyone who went in fear of the words of the God of Israel, because of the sin of those who had come back, came together to me; and I kept where I was, overcome with grief, till the evening offering. ⁵ And at the evening offering, having made myself low before God, I got up, and with signs of grief, falling down on my knees, with my hands stretched out to the Lord my God, ⁶ I said, O my God, shame keeps me from lifting up my face to you, my God: for our sins are increased higher than our heads and our evil-doing has come up to heaven. ⁷ From the days of our fathers till this day we have been great sinners; and for our sins, we and our kings and our priests have been given up into the hands of the kings of the lands, to the sword and to prison and to loss of goods and to shame of face, as it is this day. ⁸ And now for a little time grace has come to us from the Lord our God, to let a small band of us get free and to give us a nail in his holy place, so that our God may give light to our eyes and a measure of new life in our prison chains. ⁹ For we are servants; but our God has not been turned away from us in our prison, but has had mercy on us before the eyes of the kings of Persia, to give us new strength to put up again the house of our God and to make fair its waste places, and to give us a wall in Judah and Jerusalem. ¹⁰ And now, O our God, what are we to say after this? for we have not kept your laws, ¹¹ Which you gave to your servants the prophets, saying, The land into which you are going, to take it for a heritage, is an unclean land, because of the evil lives of the peoples of the land and their disgusting ways, which have made the land unclean from end to end. ¹² So now do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons or do anything for their peace or well-being for ever; so that you may be strong, living on the good of the land, and handing it on to your children for a heritage for ever. ¹³ And after everything which has come on us because of our evil-doing and our great sin, and seeing that the punishment which you, O God, have given us, is less than the measure of our sins, and that you have kept from death those of us who are here; ¹⁴ Are we again to go against your orders, taking wives from among the people who do these disgusting things? would you not be angry with us till our destruction was complete, till there was not one who got away safe? ¹⁵ O Lord God of Israel, righteousness is yours; we are only a small band which has been kept from death, as at this day: see, we are before you in our sin; for no one may keep his place before you because of this.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And at the end of these things, the rulers came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands. But they are doing according to their abominations, those of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. ² For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons. So the holy seed has mixed themselves with the people of those lands. Yes, the hand of the leaders and overseers has been chief in this sin. ³ And when I heard this thing, I tore my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down stricken dumb. ⁴ Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel was gathered to me, because of the sin of those who had been exiled. And I remained dumb until the evening sacrifice. ⁵ And at the evening sacrifice I rose up from my affliction. And tearing my garment and my mantle, I fell on my knees and spread out my hands to Jehovah my God. ⁶ And I said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to You, my God. For our iniquities have increased over our heads, and our guiltiness has grown up to the heavens. ⁷ Since the days of our fathers we have been in a great sin until this day. And for our iniquities we, our kings, our priests, have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to shame of face, as it is this day. ⁸ And now for a little time grace has been shown from Jehovah our God, to leave us a remnant to escape and to give us a nail in His holy place, so that our God may enlighten our eyes and give us a little life in our bondage. ⁹ For we were slaves, yet our God has not left us in our bondage, but has given mercy to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us some life, to set up the house of our God, and to repair its waste, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. ¹⁰ And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken Your commandments ¹¹ which You commanded by Your servants the prophets, saying, The land into which you go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations which have filled it from one end to the other with their uncleanness. ¹² And now do not give your daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters to your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth forever, so that you may be strong and eat the good of the land and leave it for an inheritance to your sons forever. ¹³ And after all that has come on us for our evil deeds and for our great sin, since You our God have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us such an escape as this, ¹⁴ should we again break Your commandments and join hands with the people of these abominations? Would You not be angry with us until You had crushed us, until there is no remnant nor survivor? ¹⁵ O Jehovah, the God of Israel, You are righteous. For we are left a remnant that has escaped, as today. Behold, we are before You in our sins, for we cannot stand before You because of this.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And at the end of these things, the leaders came near to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, as to their idolatries, even the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. ² For they have taken from their daughters for themselves, and for their sons. So the holy seed have mixed themselves with the people of the lands. Yes, the hand of the leaders and the overseers has been foremost in this treachery. ³ And when I heard this thing, I tore my garments and my robe, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down stunned. ⁴ Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel were gathered to me, because of the perfidy of the exiles. And I remained stunned until the evening offering. ⁵ And at the evening offering I rose up from my fasting, and with my garment and my robe torn, I even fell on my knees and spread out my hands to Jehovah my God. ⁶ And I said, O my God, I am ashamed and wounded to lift up my face to You, O my God. For our iniquities have increased over our head, and our guiltiness has grown to the heavens. ⁷ Since the days of our fathers we have been in great guilt until this day. And for our iniquities we, our kings, our priests, have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to plunder, and to shame of faces to this day. ⁸ And now, for a little time grace has been shown from Jehovah our God to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in His holy place, so that our God may enlighten our eyes and give us a little reviving in our bondage. ⁹ For we were slaves, yet our God has not left us in our bondage, but has given mercy to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to raise up the house of our God, and to make stand its ruins, and to give to us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. ¹⁰ And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken Your commandments ¹¹ which You have commanded by Your servants the prophets, saying, The land into which you go, to possess it, it is an unclean land with the impurity of the people of the lands, with their abominations with which they have filled it, from mouth to mouth with their uncleanness. ¹² And now do not give your daughters to their sons, and do not take their daughters to your sons, or seek their peace, or their wealth forever, so that you may be strong and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your sons forever. ¹³ And after all that has come on us for our evil deeds, and for our great guilt, since You our God have held back the rod on our iniquities, and have given us such an escape as this. ¹⁴ Shall we again break Your commandments and intermarry with the people of these abominations? Would You not be angry with us until You had crushed us, until there is no remnant or survivor? ¹⁵ O Jehovah the God of Israel, You are righteous. For we are left as escapees, as it is this day. Behold, we are before You in our guilt, for none is able to stand before You because of this.

THE PRAYER OF EZRA CONCERNING INTERMINGLING
And they finish these and the governors come near me, saying, The people of Yisra El and the priests and the Leviym separate not themselves from the people of the lands according to the abhorrences of the Kenaaniy, the Hethiy, the Perizziy, the Yebusiy, the Ammoniy, the Moabiy, the Misrayim and the Emoriy: ² for they spare their daughters for themselves and for their sons: so that the holy seed mingles with the people of those lands: yes, the hand of the governors and prefects are heads in this treason. ³ And I hear this word and I rip my clothes and my mantle and balden the hair of my head and of my beard, and sit down astonished. ⁴ and every one who trembles at the words of Elohim of Yisra El gathers to me; because of the treason of those who were exiled; and I sat astonished until the evening offering. ⁵ And at the evening offering I rise and fast and rip my clothes and my mantle: I bow on my knees and spread my palms to Yah Veh my Elohim, ⁶ and say, O my Elohim, I shame and blush to lift my face to thee, my Elohim: for our perversities abound over our head, and our guilt grows to the heavens: ⁷ since the days of our fathers we are in a great guilt - unto this day: and for our perversities, our sovereigns and our priests, are given into the hand of the sovereigns of the lands - to the sword, to captivity, and to a plunder, and to shamed face, as this day. ⁸ And now for a little blink, supplication becomes from Yah Veh our Elohim - to allow escapees to survive, and to give us a stake in his holies, so that our Elohim lighten our eyes, and give us a little invigoration in our servitude. ⁹ For we are servants; yet our Elohim forsakes us not in our servitude; but spreads us mercy at the face of the sovereigns of Persia - to give us an invigoration - to lift the house of our Elohim and to stand the parched areas thereof and to give us a wall in Yah Hudah and in Yeru Shalem. ¹⁰ And now, O our Elohim, what say we? For we forsook your misvoth ¹¹ which you misvahed by the hand of your servants the prophets, saying, The land you go to possess, is a land of exclusion of the people of the lands with their abhorrences who filled it from mouth to mouth with their foulness. ¹² And now, neither give your daughters to their sons, nor bear their daughters to your sons, nor seek their shalom or their goodness eternally: that you strengthen and eat the good of the land for your sons to possess eternally. ¹³ And after all that comes upon us for our evil works and for our great guilt - seeing that you our Elohim; spare us from our downward perversities, and give us such an escape as this ¹⁴ - return we to break your misvoth and intermarry with the people of these abhorrences? Are you not angry with us - to finish us off so that there is neither survivor nor escapee? ¹⁵ O Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, you are just: for we survive yet escaped as it is this day: behold, we are at your face in our guilt: for no one stands at your face because of this.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now when these things were done, the rulers drew near to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. ² For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the peoples of the lands. Yea, the hand of the heads and rulers has been chief in this trespass. ³ And when I heard this thing, I tore my garment and my robe, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down confounded. ⁴ Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel were assembled to me, because of the trespass of those of the captivity, and I sat confounded until the evening oblation. ⁵ And at the evening oblation I arose up from my humiliation, even with my garment and my robe torn, and I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands to LORD my God, ⁶ and I said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God, for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our guiltiness has grown up to the heavens. ⁷ Since the days of our fathers we have been exceedingly guilty to this day. And for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to plunder, and to confusion of face, as it is this day. ⁸ And now for a little moment grace has been shown from LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage. ⁹ For we are bondmen, yet our God has not forsaken us in our bondage, but has extended loving kindness to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the ruins of it, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. ¹⁰ And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken thy commandments, ¹¹ which thou have commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, to which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land through the uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, through their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their filthiness. ¹² Now therefore do not give your daughters to their sons, neither take their daughters to your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity forever, that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your sons forever. ¹³ And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great guilt, seeing that thou our God have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us such a remnant, ¹⁴ shall we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the peoples who do these abominations? Would thou not be angry with us till thou had consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape? ¹⁵ O LORD, the God of Israel, thou are righteous, for we are left a remnant that is escaped, as it is this day.

1 H3615 Now when these things were done, H8269 the princes H5066 drew H559 near to me, saying, H5971 "The people H3478 of Israel, H3548 and the priests H3881 and the Levites, H914 have not separated H5971 themselves from the peoples H776 of the lands, H8441 following their abominations, H3669 even those of the Canaanites, H2850 the Hittites, H6522 the Perizzites, H2983 the Jebusites, H5984 the Ammonites, H4125 the Moabites, H4713 the Egyptians, H567 and the Amorites.

2 H5375 For they have taken H1323 of their daughters H1121 for themselves and for their sons, H6944 so that the holy H2233 seed H6148 have mixed H5971 themselves with the peoples H776 of the lands. H3027 Yes, the hand H8269 of the princes H5461 and rulers H7223 has been chief H4604 in this trespass."

3 H8085 When I heard H1697 this thing, H7167 I tore H899 my garment H899 and my robe, H4803 and plucked off H8181 the hair H7218 of my head H2206 and of my beard, H3427 and sat down H8074 confounded.

5 H6153 At the evening H4503 offering H6965 I arose up H8589 from my humiliation, H899 even with my garment H899 and my robe H7167 torn; H3766 and I fell H1290 on my knees, H6566 and spread out H3709 my hands H3068 to Yahweh H430 my God;

1 H428 Now when these H3615 things were done, H8269 the princes H5066 came H559 to me, saying, H5971 The people H3478 of Israel, H3548 and the priests, H3881 and the Levites, H914 have not separated H5971 themselves from the people H776 of the lands, H8441 doing according to their abominations, H3669 even of the Canaanites, H2850 the Hittites, H6522 the Perizzites, H2983 the Jebusites, H5984 the Ammonites, H4124 the Moabites, H4713 the Egyptians, H567 and the Amorites.

2 H5375 For they have taken H1323 of their daughters H1992 for themselves, H1121 and for their sons: H6944 so that the holy H2233 seed H6148 have mingled H5971 themselves with the people H776 of those lands: H3027 yes, the hand H8269 of the princes H5461 and rulers H1961 has been H7223 chief H2088 in this H4604 trespass.

3 H8085 And when I heard H2088 this H1697 thing, H7167 I rent H899 my garment H4598 and my mantle, H4803 and plucked H8181 off the hair H7218 of my head H2206 and of my beard, H3427 and sat H8074 down astonished.

4 H622 Then were assembled H3605 to me every H2730 one that trembled H1697 at the words H430 of the God H3478 of Israel, H5921 because H4604 of the transgression H1473 of those that had been carried H1473 away; H3427 and I sat H8074 astonished H5704 until H6153 the evening H4503 sacrifice.

5 H6153 And at the evening H4503 sacrifice H6965 I arose H8589 up from my heaviness; H7167 and having rent H899 my garment H4598 and my mantle, H3766 I fell H1290 on my knees, H6566 and spread H3709 out my hands H3068 to the LORD H430 my God,

6 H559 And said, H430 O my God, H954 I am ashamed H3637 and blush H7311 to lift H6440 up my face H430 to you, my God: H5771 for our iniquities H7235 are increased H4605 over H7218 our head, H819 and our trespass H1431 is grown H8064 up to the heavens.

7 H3117 Since the days H1 of our fathers H1419 have we been in a great H819 trespass H2088 to this H3117 day; H5771 and for our iniquities H4428 have we, our kings, H3548 and our priests, H5414 been delivered H3027 into the hand H4428 of the kings H776 of the lands, H2719 to the sword, H7628 to captivity, H961 and to a spoil, H1322 and to confusion H6440 of face, H2088 as it is this H3117 day.

8 H6258 And now H4592 for a little H7281 space H8467 grace H3068 has been showed from the LORD H430 our God, H7604 to leave H6413 us a remnant to escape, H5414 and to give H3489 us a nail H6944 in his holy H4725 place, H430 that our God H215 may lighten H5869 our eyes, H5414 and give H4592 us a little H4241 reviving H5659 in our bondage.

9 H5650 For we were slaves; H430 yet our God H5800 has not forsaken H5659 us in our bondage, H5186 but has extended H2617 mercy H6440 to us in the sight H4428 of the kings H6539 of Persia, H5414 to give H4241 us a reviving, H7311 to set H1004 up the house H430 of our God, H5975 and to repair H2723 the desolations H5414 thereof, and to give H1447 us a wall H3063 in Judah H3389 and in Jerusalem.

10 H6258 And now, H430 O our God, H4100 what H559 shall we say H310 after H2063 this? H5800 for we have forsaken H4687 your commandments,

11 H834 Which H6680 you have commanded H5650 by your servants H5030 the prophets, H559 saying, H776 The land, H834 to which H935 you go H3423 to possess H5079 it, is an unclean H776 land H5079 with the filthiness H5971 of the people H776 of the lands, H8441 with their abominations, H834 which H4390 have filled H6310 it from one end H2932 to another with their uncleanness.

12 H6258 Now H5414 therefore give H1323 not your daughters H1121 to their sons, H408 neither H5375 take H1323 their daughters H1121 to your sons, H3808 nor H1875 seek H7965 their peace H2896 or their wealth H5769 for ever: H2388 that you may be strong, H398 and eat H2898 the good H776 of the land, H3423 and leave it for an inheritance H1121 to your children H5769 for ever.

13 H310 And after H3605 all H935 that is come H7451 on us for our evil H4639 deeds, H1419 and for our great H819 trespass, H3588 seeing H430 that you our God H2820 have punished H4295 us less H5771 than our iniquities H5414 deserve, and have given H6413 us such deliverance H2063 as this;

14 H7725 Should we again H6565 break H4687 your commandments, H2859 and join H2859 in affinity H5971 with the people H428 of these H8441 abominations? H599 would not you be angry H5704 with us till H3615 you had consumed H369 us, so that there should be no H7611 remnant H6413 nor escaping?

15 H3068 O LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel, H6662 you are righteous: H7604 for we remain H6413 yet escaped, H2063 as it is this H3117 day: H2005 behold, H6440 we are before H819 you in our trespasses: H3808 for we cannot H5975 stand H6440 before H5921 you because H2063 of this.

1 H3615 Now when these things were done, H8269 the princes H5066 came H559 to me, saying, H5971 The people H3478 of Israel, H3548 and the priests, H3881 and the Levites, H914 have not separated H5971 themselves from the people H776 of the lands, H8441 doing according to their abominations, H3669 even of the Canaanites, H2850 the Hittites, H6522 the Perizzites, H2983 the Jebusites, H5984 the Ammonites, H4125 the Moabites, H4713 the Egyptians, H567 and the Amorites.

2 H5375 For they have taken H1323 of their daughters H1121 for themselves, and for their sons: H6944 so that the holy H2233 seed H6148 have mingled H5971 themselves with the people H776 of those lands: H3027 Yes, the hand H8269 of the princes H5461 and rulers H7223 has been chief H4604 in this trespass.

3 H8085 And when I heard H1697 this thing, H7167 I tore H899 my garment H4598 and my mantle, H4803 and plucked off H8181 the hair H7218 of my head H2206 and of my beard, H3427 and sat down H8074 astonished.

5 H6153 And at the evening H4503 sacrifice H6965 I arose up H8589 from my heaviness; H7167 and having tore H899 my garment H4598 and my mantle, H3766 I fell H1290 upon my knees, H6566 and spread out H3709 my hands H3068 unto the Lord H430 my God,

6 H559 And said, H430 O my God, H954 I am ashamed H3637 and blush H7311 to lift up H6440 my face H430 to you, my God: H5771 for our iniquities H7235 are increased H4605 over H7218 our head, H819 and our trespass H1431 is grown up H8064 unto the heavens.

7 H3117 Since the days H1 of our fathers H1419 have we been in a great H819 trespass H3117 unto this day; H5771 and for our iniquities H4428 have we, our kings, H3548 and our priests, H5414 been delivered H3027 into the hand H4428 of the kings H776 of the lands, H2719 to the sword, H7628 to captivity, H961 and to a plunder, H1322 and to confusion H6440 of face, H3117 as it is this day.

8 H4592 And now for a little H7281 space H8467 grace H3068 has been shown from the Lord H430 our God, H7604 to leave H6413 us a remnant to escape, H5414 and to give H3489 us a nail H6944 in his holy H4725 place, H430 that our God H215 may lighten H5869 our eyes, H5414 and give H4592 us a little H4241 reviving H5659 in our bondage.

10 H430 And now, O our God, H559 what shall we say H310 after H5800 this? for we have forsaken H4687 your commandments,

11 H6680 Which you have commanded H3027 by H5650 your servants H5030 the prophets, H559 saying, H776 The land, H935 unto which you go H3423 to possess H5079 it, is an unclean H776 land H5079 with the filthiness H5971 of the people H776 of the lands, H8441 with their abominations, H4390 which have filled H6310 it from one end H6310 to another H2932 with their uncleanness.

12 H5414 Now therefore give H1323 not your daughters H1121 unto their sons, H5375 neither take H1323 their daughters H1121 unto your sons, H1875 nor seek H7965 their peace H2896 or their wealth H5704 for H5769 ever: H2388 that you may be strong, H398 and eat H2898 the good H776 of the land, H3423 and leave it for an inheritance H1121 to your sons H5769 for ever.

13 H310 And after H935 all that is come H7451 upon us for our evil H4639 deeds, H1419 and for our great H819 trespass, H430 seeing that you our God H2820 have punished H4295 us less H5771 than our iniquities H5414 deserve, and have given H6413 us such deliverance as this;

14 H7725 Should we again H6565 break H4687 your commandments, H2859 and join in affinity H5971 with the people H8441 of these abominations? H599 would not you be angry H3615 with us until you had consumed H7611 us, so that there should be no remnant H6413 nor escaping?

15 H3068 O Lord H430 God H3478 of Israel, H6662 you are righteous: H7604 for we remain H6413 yet escaped, H3117 as it is this day: H6440 behold, we are before H819 you in our trespasses: H5975 for we cannot stand H6440 before you because of this.

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites, doing according to their abominations, ² for they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons, and the holy seed is mingled with the peoples of the lands; and the hand of the princes and of the governors has been foremost in this trespass. ³ And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle and plucked off of the hair of my head and of my beard and sat down astonied. ⁴ Then each one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel because of the transgression of those that had been carried away were assembled unto me; and I sat astonied until the evening sacrifice. ⁵ ¶ And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my affliction; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God ⁶ and said, O my God, I am confused and ashamed to lift up my face to thee, my God, for our iniquities have multiplied over our head, and our guiltiness is grown up unto heaven. ⁷ Since the days of our fathers, we have been in great guiltiness unto this day; and for our iniquities we, our kings and our priests, have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day. ⁸ And now as for a brief moment there has been the mercy of the LORD our God, to leave us an escape, and that we may be given a stake in his holy sanctuary that our God may illuminate our eyes and give us a little preservation of life in our bondage. ⁹ For we were slaves; yet our God did not forsake us in our bondage, but has extended mercy over us before the king of Persia, that we may be given life to lift up the house of our God and to cause the desolations thereof to be restored and to give us a wall of protection in Judah and in Jerusalem. ¹⁰ And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken thy commandments, ¹¹ which thou hast commanded by thy slaves the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land because of the uncleanness of the people of the lands, for the abominations with which they have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness. ¹² Now, therefore, do not give your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity forever, that ye may be strengthened, and eat the good of the land and leave it for an inheritance to your sons forever. ¹³ And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great guiltiness, seeing that thou our God hast intervened that we no longer be oppressed because of our iniquities and hast given us such an escape as this, ¹⁴ should we again break thy commandments and join in affinity with the people of these abominations? Would thou not be angry with us until thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escape? ¹⁵ O LORD God of Israel, thou art righteous; for we have an escape, as it is this day, behold us here, before thee in our guiltiness; for we cannot stand before thee because of this.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And when these things were finished, the princes drew near to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands in their abominations, even the Cannanite, the Hittites, the Perizzite, the Jebusite, the Ammonite, the Moabite, and the Moserite and the Amorite. ² For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and their sons, and the holy seed has passed among the nations of the lands, and the hand of the rulers has been first in this transgression. ³ And when I heard this thing, I tore my clothes, and trembled, and plucked some of the hairs of my head and of my beard, and sat down mourning. ⁴ Then there assembled to me all that followed the word of the God of Israel, on account of the transgression of the captivity; and I remained mourning until the evening sacrifice. ⁵ And at the evening sacrifice I rose up from my humiliation; and when I had tore my clothes, then I trembled, and I bowed myself on my knees, and spread out my hands to the Lord God, ⁶ and I said, O Lord, I am ashamed and confounded, O my God, to lift up my face to You; for our transgressions have abounded over our head, and our trespasses have increased even to heaven. ⁷ From the days of our fathers we have been in a great trespass until this day; and because of our iniquities we, and our kings, and our children, have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the Gentiles by the sword, by captivity, by spoil, and with shame of our face, as at this day. ⁸ And now our God has dealt mercifully with us, so as to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us an establishment in the place of His sanctuary, to enlighten our eyes, and give us a measure of revival in our bondage. ⁹ For we are slaves, yet in our bondage the Lord our God has not deserted us; and He has extended favor to us in the sight of the kings of the Persians, to revive us, that they should raise up the house of our God, and restore the desolate places of it, and to give us a wall in Judah and Jerusalem. ¹⁰ What shall we say, O our God, after this? For we have forsaken Your commandments, ¹¹ which You have given us by the hand of Your servants the prophets, saying, The land, into which you go to inherit it, is a land subject to disturbance by the removal of the people of the nations for their abominations, wherewith they have filled it from one end to the other by their impurity. ¹² And now give not your daughters to their sons, and take not of their daughters for your sons, neither shall you ever seek their peace or their goods, that you may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and transmit it as an inheritance to your children forever. ¹³ And after all that has come upon us because of our evil deeds, and our great trespass, it is clear that there is none such as our God, for You have lightly visited our iniquities, and given us deliverance; ¹⁴ whereas we have repeatedly broken Your commandments, and intermarried with the people of the lands. Be not very angry with us to our utter destruction, so that there should be no remnant or survivor. ¹⁵ O Lord God of Israel, You are righteous, for we are left as a remnant, as it is this day. Behold, we are before You in our trespasses, for we cannot stand before You on this account.

LXX2012⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And when these things were finished, the princes drew near to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands in their abominations, [even] the Chananite, the Ethite, the Pherezite, the Jebusite, the Ammonite, the Moabite, and the Moserite and the Amorite. ² For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and their sons; and the holy seed has passed among the nations of the lands, and the hand of the rulers [has been] first in this transgression. ³ And when I heard this thing, I tore my garments, and trembled, and plucked [some] of the hairs of my head and of my beard, and sat down mourning. ⁴ Then there assembled to me all that followed the word of the God of Israel, on account of the transgression of the captivity; and I remained mourning until the evening sacrifice. ⁵ And at the evening sacrifice I rose up from my humiliation; and when I had tore my garments, then I trembled, and I bow myself on my knees, and spread out my hands to the Lord God, ⁶ and I said, O Lord, I am ashamed and confounded, O my God, to lift up my face to you: for our transgressions have abounded over our head, and our trespasses have increased even to heaven. ⁷ From the days of our fathers we have been in a great trespass until this day: and because of our iniquities we, and our kings, and our children, have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the Gentiles by the sword, and by captivity, and by spoil, and with shame of our face, as at this day. ⁸ And now our God has dealt mercifully with us, so as to leave us to escape, and to give us an establishment in the place of his sanctuary, to enlighten our eyes, and to give a little quickening in our servitude. ⁹ For we are slaves, yet in our servitude the Lord our God has not deserted us; and he has extended favor to us in the sight of the kings of the Persians, to give us a quickening, that they should raise up the house of our God, and restore the desolate places of it, and to give us a fence in Juda and Jerusalem. ¹⁰ What shall we say, our God, after this? for we have forsaken your commandments, ¹¹ which you have given us by the hand of your servants the prophets, saying, The land, into which you⌃ go to inherit it, is a land subject to disturbance by the removal of the people of the nations for their abominations, wherewith they have filled it from one end to the other by their uncleanness. ¹² And now give not your daughters to their sons, and take not of their daughters for your sons, neither shall you⌃ seek their peace or their good for ever: that you⌃ may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and transmit it as an inheritance to your children for ever. ¹³ And after all that is come upon us because of our evil deeds, and our great trespass, [it is clear] that there is none such as our God, for you has lightly visited our iniquities, and given us deliverance; ¹⁴ whereas we have repeatedly broken your commandments, and intermarried with the people of the lands: be not very angry with us to [our] utter destruction, so that there should be no remnant or escaping one. ¹⁵ O Lord God of Israel, you [are] righteous; for we remain [yet] escaped, as at this day: behold, we [are] before you in our trespasses: for we can’t stand before you on this account.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ After these things were done, the captains came to me and said: »The people of Israel and the priests and Levites have not kept themselves separate from the people of the lands. They have taken part in the disgusting ways of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. ² »They have taken their daughters as wives for themselves and for their sons. They have mingled the holy race with peoples around them. In fact the leaders and officials were first to do this evil.« ³ Hearing this, with signs of grief and pulling out the hair of my head and my chin, I took my seat on the earth deeply troubled. ⁴ Then everyone who respected the word of the God of Israel were overcome with grief because of the sin of those who came back. They gathered with me until the evening offering. ⁵ I humbled myself before God at the evening offering. I got up, with signs of grief, and fell on my knees with my hands stretched out to Jehovah my God, ⁶ I said, »O my God, shame keeps me from lifting up my face (praying) to you (being in your presence), my God: for our sins have increased higher than our heads and our evil-doing has come up to heaven. ⁷ »From the days of our fathers till this day we have been great sinners. Because of our sins, the kings of the lands captured us. We were given to the sword and to prison and to loss of goods and to shame of face, as it is this day. ⁸ »Now for a little time grace (favour) has come to us from Jehovah our God, to let a small band of us go free and to give us a nail in his holy place. Our God gives light to our eyes and a measure of new life in our prison chains. ⁹ »We are servants. Our God has not been turned away from us in our prison. He had mercy on us before the eyes of the kings of Persia, to give us new strength, to put up again the house of our God and to restore its desolate places, and to give us a wall in Judah and Jerusalem. ¹⁰ »And now, O our God, what are we to say after this? For we have not obeyed your laws, ¹¹ ‘»Which you gave to your servants the prophets, saying: ‘The land where you are going, you should take for a heritage. It is an unclean land, because of the evil lives of the peoples of the land and their disgusting ways, which have made the land unclean from end to end.’ ¹² »Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons or do anything for their peace or well being for a very long time. That way you may be strong, living on the good of the land, and handing it on to your children for a heritage for as long as they live. ¹³ »After all this and because of our evil-doing and our great sin, and seeing that the punishment that you, O God, have given us, is less than the measure of our sins, and that you have kept from death those of us who are here; ¹⁴ »Are we again to go against your orders, taking wives from among the people who do these disgusting things? Would you not be angry with us till our destruction was complete, till there was not one who got away safe? ¹⁵ »O Jehovah, God of Israel, righteousness is yours. We are only a small band that has been kept from death this day. See, we are before you in our sin. For no one may keep his place before you because of this.«

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ezra’s Reaction to Foreign Marriages
After these things occurred, certain officials approached me and said “The people of Israel, the priests, and the descendants of Levi have not separated themselves from the people of the lands or from the detestable behavior of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites, ² because they and their sons have married foreign women. As a result, the holy people have mingled themselves among the peoples of these lands. As a matter of fact, the senior officials and the rulers have been foremost in this sin.”
³ When I heard this, I tore both my garment and robe, plucked hair from both my head and my beard, and collapsed in shock! ⁴ Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel gathered together as a group because of the sin committed by those who had been led astray. As for me, I remained seated, in shock, until the evening sacrifice.
⁵ Ezra’s Prayer of RepentanceAt the time of the evening sacrifice, I arose from my discouragement. Still in my torn garment and robe, I fell to my knees with my hands outstretched to the LORD my God, ⁶ and said, “My God, I am too ashamed and hurt to turn to you, because we’re in our iniquities over our heads. Furthermore, my God, our sins have grown as high as the heavens. ⁷ We have lived in great sin from the days of our ancestors even until today, and because of those iniquities we, our kings, and our priests have been delivered over to foreign kings, for execution, for captivity, for plunder, and for humiliation, as is the case today. ⁸ Though now, for a moment, grace has been shown from the LORD our God, leaving a few survivors to escape, and providing us a secure hold in his Holy Place, so that our God might enlighten us and give us relief from our servitude. ⁹ Even though we are slaves, our God has not abandoned us in our slavery. Instead, he has extended gracious love to us in the presence of the kings of Persia, to grant us revival, to set up the Temple of our God, to repair its damage, and to give us a protective wall for Judah and Jerusalem. ¹⁰ Now, our God, what can we say besides this? Because we have abandoned your commandments ¹¹ that you gave in the writings of your servants, the prophets: ‘The land you are entering to possess is a morally unclean land due to the moral uncleanness of the peoples of the lands—along with their abominations—that has filled it from one end to the other with their impurities. ¹² So, therefore, do not give your daughters in marriage to their sons, nor marry their daughters to your sons, and under no circumstances are you to seek their well-being or their wealth, so that you may remain strong, enjoying the best things the land has to give, and so that you may establish an inheritance for your children forever.’ ¹³ “After all that has happened to us because of our evil behavior, and because of our great sin—considering that you our God have punished us less than our iniquities deserve and have given us this deliverance— ¹⁴ should we violate your commandments by intermarrying with the peoples who practice these abominations? Would you not be angry with us until you had consumed us, with not even a remnant surviving to escape? ¹⁵ LORD God of Israel, you are just: As a result, we remain here today delivered. Look at us! Because of our sin, we cannot stand in your presence as a result of everything that has happened.”

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ After finishing these things the officials approached me saying, "The people of Israel, the priests, and the Levites have not separated from the people of the lands with their detestable things, and from the Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians, and Amorites. ² For they have taken from their daughters for themselves and their sons. So the holy seed has mixed itself with the peoples of the lands, and the hand of the officials and prefects were foremost in this sin. ³ When I heard this I tore my garment and my robe, and I pulled the hair out from my head and beard, and I sat appalled. ⁴ Then all who trembled at the words of the God of Israel because of the sin of the returned exiles were gathered around me and I sat appalled until the evening offering. ⁵ At the evening offering I got up from my mourning posture and, with my garment and robe torn, I fell down on my knees and I spread out my palms to Yahweh my God ⁶ and said, "My God, I am ashamed and embarrassed to lift my face to you, my God. For our sins have risen above our heads and our guilt has grown up to the heavens. ⁷ From the days of our ancestors* until this day we have been in great guilt, and because of our sins we ourselves, our kings, and our priests have been handed into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to plunder, and to utter shame, as it is this day. ⁸ But now for a brief moment mercy has been shown by Yahweh our God, who left behind for us a remnant, and given us security in his holy place—for our God to brighten our eyes and to give us brief relief in our bondage. ⁹ For we are slaves and in our bondage our God did not forsake us, and he has extended to us loyal love in the presence of the kings of Persia, to give to us deliverance* and to set up the house of our God, to repair its ruins, and to give us a wall in Judea and Jerusalem. ¹⁰ "And now our God what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken your commandments, ¹¹ which you commanded by the hand of your servants the prophets saying, 'The land that you are entering to possess is a land of impurity with the impurity of the peoples of the lands, with their detestable things which they have filled from end to end with their uncleanness. ¹² Therefore, do not give your daughters to their sons, and do not take their daughters for your sons. Do not seek their peace and prosperity so that forever you may be strong and eat the good of the land and may give it as an inheritance to your sons.' ¹³ After all that has come upon us for our evil practices and for our great guilt—you, our God, have held back less than our guilt deserved and you have given us a remainder such as this. ¹⁴ Shall we again break your commandments and intermarry with the peoples who practice these detestable things? Would you not be angry with us until you destroy us with no remnant or remainder? ¹⁵ Yahweh, God of Israel, you are righteous, for we have been left this day as a remnant. Here we are before you in our guilt, for none can stand before you because of this."

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ After these things had been accomplished, the leaders approached me and said, “The people of Israel, including the priests and Levites, have not kept themselves separate from the surrounding peoples whose abominations are like those of the Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians, and Amorites. ² Indeed, the Israelites have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and their sons, so that the holy seed has been mixed with the people of the land. And the leaders and officials have taken the lead in this unfaithfulness!” ³ When I heard this report, I tore my tunic and cloak, pulled out some hair from my head and beard, and sat down in horror. ⁴ Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel gathered around me because of the unfaithfulness of the exiles, while I sat there in horror until the evening offering. ⁵ At the evening offering, I got up from my humiliation with my tunic and cloak torn, and I fell on my knees, spread out my hands to the LORD my God, ⁶ and said: “O my God, I am ashamed and embarrassed to lift up my face to You, my God, because our iniquities are higher than our heads, and our guilt has reached the heavens. ⁷ From the days of our fathers to this day, our guilt has been great. Because of our iniquities, we and our kings and priests have been delivered into the hands of the kings of the earth and put to the sword and captivity, to pillage and humiliation, as we are this day. ⁸ But now, for a brief moment, grace has come from the LORD our God to preserve for us a remnant and to give us a stake in His holy place. Even in our bondage, our God has given us new life and light to our eyes. ⁹ Though we are slaves, our God has not forsaken us in our bondage, but He has extended to us grace in the sight of the kings of Persia, giving us new life to rebuild the house of our God and repair its ruins, and giving us a wall of protection in Judah and Jerusalem. ¹⁰ And now, our God, what can we say after this? For we have forsaken the commandments ¹¹ that You gave through Your servants the prophets, saying: ‘The land that you are entering to possess is a land polluted by the impurity of its peoples and the abominations with which they have filled it from end to end. ¹² Now, therefore, do not give your daughters in marriage to their sons or take their daughters for your sons. Never seek their peace or prosperity, so that you may be strong and may eat the good things of the land, leaving it as an inheritance to your sons forever.’ ¹³ After all that has come upon us because of our evil deeds and our great guilt (though You, our God, have punished us less than our iniquities deserve and have given us such a remnant as this), ¹⁴ shall we again break Your commandments and intermarry with the peoples who commit these abominations? Would You not become so angry with us as to wipe us out, leaving no remnant or survivor? ¹⁵ O LORD, God of Israel, You are righteous! For we remain this day as a remnant. Here we are before You in our guilt, though because of it no one can stand before You.”

MSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ After these things had been accomplished, the leaders approached me and said, “The people of Israel, including the priests and Levites, have not kept themselves separate from the surrounding peoples whose abominations are like those of the Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians, and Amorites. ² Indeed, the Israelites have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and their sons, so that the holy seed has been mixed with the people of the land.

Would You not become so angry with us as to wipe us out, leaving no remnant or survivor? ¹⁵ O LORD, God of Israel, You are righteous! For we remain this day as a remnant. Here we are before You in our guilt, though because of it no one can stand before You.”

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now when these things were done, the rulers drew near to me, saying, The people of Israel and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians and the Amorites. ² For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the peoples of the lands. Yes, the hand of the heads and rulers has been chief in this trespass.
³ And when I heard this thing, I tore my garment and my robe and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard and sat down confounded. ⁴ Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel were assembled to me, because of the trespass of those of the captivity and I sat confounded until the evening oblation.
⁵ And at the evening oblation I arose up from my humiliation, even with my garment and my robe torn and I fell upon my knees and spread out my hands to Jehovah my God, ⁶ and I said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to you, my God, for our iniquities are increased over our head and our guiltiness has grown up to the heavens. ⁷ Since the days of our fathers we have been exceedingly guilty to this day. And for our iniquities have we, our kings and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity and to plunder and to confusion of face, as it is this day.
⁸ And now for a little moment favor has been shown from Jehovah our God, to leave us a remnant to escape and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes and give us a little reviving in our bondage. ⁹ For we are bondmen, yet our God has not forsaken us in our bondage, but has extended loving kindness to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God and to repair the ruins of it and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. ¹⁰ And now, O our God, what will we say after this? For we have forsaken your commandments, ¹¹ which you have commanded by your servants the prophets, saying, The land, to which you* go to possess it, is an unclean land through the uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, through their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their filthiness. ¹² Now therefore do not give your* daughters to their sons, neither take their daughters to your* sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity forever, that you* may be strong and eat the good of the land and leave it for an inheritance to your* sons until everlasting.
¹³ And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great guilt, seeing that you, our God, have punished us less than our iniquities deserve and have given us such a remnant, ¹⁴ will we again break your commandments and make a marriage-agreement with the peoples who do these abominations? Would you not be angry with us till you had consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape?
¹⁵ O Jehovah, the God of Israel, you are righteous, for we are left a remnant that has escaped, as it is this day. Behold, we are before you in our guiltiness, for none can stand before you because of this.

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ After these things were done, the captains came to me and said: "The people of Israel and the priests and Levites have not kept themselves separate from the people of the lands.

And I remained dumb until the evening sacrifice. ⁵ At the time of the evening sacrifice, I arose from my discouragement.

Here we are before you in our guilt, for none can stand before you because of this."

Luther1545⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Da das alles war ausgerichtet, traten zu mir die Obersten und sprachen: Das Volk Israel und die Priester und Leviten sind nicht abgesondert von den Völkern in Ländern nach ihren Greueln, nämlich der Kanaaniter, Hethiter, Pheresiter, Jebusiter, Ammoniter, Moabiter, Ägypter und Amoriter; ² denn sie haben derselben Töchter genommen sich und ihren Söhnen und den heiligen Samen gemein gemacht mit den Völkern in Ländern. Und die Hand der Obersten und Ratherren war die vornehmste in dieser Missetat. ³ Da ich solches hörete, zerriß ich meine Kleider und meinen Rock und raufte mein Haupthaar und Bart aus und saß einsam. ⁴ Und es versammelten sich zu mir alle, die des HERRN Wort, des Gottes Israels, fürchteten um der großen Vergreifung willen; und ich saß einsam bis an das Abendopfer. ⁵ Und um das Abendopfer stund ich auf von meinem Elend und zerriß meine Kleider und meinen Rock; und fiel auf meine Kniee und breitete meine Hände aus zu dem HERRN, meinem Gott, ⁶ und sprach: Mein Gott, ich schäme mich und scheue mich, meine Augen aufzuheben zu dir, mein Gott; denn unsere Missetat ist über unser Haupt gewachsen, und unsere Schuld ist groß bis in den Himmel. ⁷ Von der Zeit unserer Väter an sind wir in großer Schuld gewesen bis auf diesen Tag und um unserer Missetat willen sind wir und unsere Könige und Priester gegeben in die Hand der Könige in Ländern, ins Schwert, ins Gefängnis, in Raub und in Scham des Angesichts, wie es heutigestages gehet. ⁸ Nun aber ist ein wenig und plötzlich Gnade von dem HERRN, unserm Gott, geschehen, daß uns noch etwas Übriges ist entronnen, daß er uns gäbe einen Nagel an seiner heiligen Stätte, daß unser Gott unsere Augen erleuchtete und gäbe uns ein wenig Leben, da wir Knechte sind. ⁹ Denn wir sind Knechte, und unser Gott hat uns nicht verlassen, ob wir Knechte sind, und hat Barmherzigkeit zu uns geneiget vor den Königen in Persien, daß sie uns das Leben lassen und erhöhen das Haus unsers Gottes und aufrichten seine Verstörung und gebe uns einen Zaun in Juda und Jerusalem. ¹⁰ Nun, was sollen wir sagen, unser Gott, nach diesem, daß wir deine Gebote verlassen haben, ¹¹ die du durch deine Knechte, die Propheten, geboten hast und gesagt: Das Land, darein ihr kommt zu erben, ist ein unrein Land, durch die Unreinigkeit der Völker in Ländern in ihren Greueln, damit sie es hie und da voll Unreinigkeit gemacht haben? ¹² So sollt ihr nun eure Töchter nicht geben ihren Söhnen und ihre Töchter sollt ihr euren Söhnen nicht nehmen und suchet nicht ihren Frieden noch Gutes ewiglich, auf daß ihr mächtig werdet und esset das Gut im Lande und beerbet es auf eure Kinder ewiglich. ¹³ Und nach dem allem, das über uns kommen ist um unserer bösen Werke und großer Schuld willen, hast du, unser Gott, unserer Missetat verschonet und hast uns eine Rettung gegeben, wie es da stehet. ¹⁴ Wir aber haben uns umgekehret und deine Gebote lassen fahren, daß wir uns mit den Völkern dieser Greuel befreundet haben. Willst du denn über uns zürnen, bis daß es gar aus sei, daß nichts Übriges noch keine Errettung sei? ¹⁵ HERR, Gott Israels, du bist gerecht; denn wir sind überblieben, eine Errettung, wie es heutigestages stehet.

11 H3027 die du durch H5650 deine Knechte H5030 , die Propheten H559 , geboten hast und gesagt H776 : Das H776 Land H3423 , darein ihr kommt zu erben H4390 , ist H2932 ein unrein H776 Land H935 , durch H5079 die Unreinigkeit H5971 der Völker H6310 in H6310 Ländern in H8441 ihren Greueln H6680 , damit sie H5079 es hie und da voll Unreinigkeit gemacht haben?

12 H2388 So sollt ihr H1323 nun eure Töchter H5414 nicht geben H1121 ihren Söhnen H3423 und H1323 ihre Töchter H1121 sollt ihr euren Söhnen H1875 nicht nehmen und suchet H7965 nicht ihren Frieden H2898 noch Gutes H5704 ewiglich H5375 , auf H398 daß ihr mächtig werdet und esset H776 das H2896 Gut H1121 im Lande und beerbet es auf eure Kinder H5769 ewiglich .

13 H310 Und nach H4639 dem allem, das H935 über uns kommen ist H7451 um unserer bösen H1419 Werke und großer H819 Schuld H2820 willen, hast H430 du, unser GOtt H5771 , unserer Missetat H5414 verschonet und hast uns eine Rettung gegeben, wie es da stehet.

14 H3615 Wir aber haben H2859 uns H4687 umgekehret und deine Gebote H6565 lassen H5971 fahren, daß wir uns mit den Völkern H8441 dieser Greuel H7725 befreundet haben. Willst du H599 denn über uns zürnen H7611 , bis daß es gar aus sei, daß nichts Übriges H6413 noch keine Errettung sei?

15 H3068 HErr H430 , GOtt H3478 Israels H6662 , du bist gerecht H7604 ; denn wir sind H6413 überblieben, eine Errettung H3117 , wie es heutigestages H6440 stehet. Siehe, wir sind vor H819 dir in unserer Schuld H5975 , denn um deswillen ist nicht zu stehen H6440 vor dir.

Luther1912⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Da das alles war ausgerichtet, traten zu mir die Obersten und sprachen: Das Volk Israel und die Priester und Leviten sind nicht abgesondert von den Völkern in den Ländern nach ihren Greueln, nämlich die Kanaaniter, Hethiter, Pheresiter, Jebusiter, Ammoniter, Moabiter, Ägypter und Amoriter; ² denn sie haben derselben Töchter genommen sich und ihren Söhnen und den heiligen Samen gemein gemacht mit den Völkern in den Ländern. Und die Hand der Obersten und Ratsherren war die vornehmste in dieser Missetat. ³ Da ich solches hörte, zerriß ich mein Kleid und meinen Rock und raufte mein Haupthaar und Bart aus und saß bestürzt. ⁴ Und es versammelten sich zu mir alle, die des HERRN Wort, des Gottes Israels, fürchteten, um der Vergreifung willen derer, die gefangen gewesen waren; und ich saß bestürzt bis an das Abendopfer. ⁵ Und um das Abendopfer stand ich auf von meinem Elend und zerriß mein Kleid und meinen Rock und fiel auf meine Kniee und breitete meine Hände aus zu dem HERRN, meinem Gott, ⁶ und sprach: Mein Gott, ich schäme mich und scheue mich, meine Augen aufzuheben zu dir, mein Gott; denn unsre Missetat ist über unser Haupt gewachsen und unsre Schuld ist groß bis in den Himmel. ⁷ Von der Zeit unsrer Väter an sind wir in großer Schuld gewesen bis auf diesen Tag, und um unsrer Missetat willen sind wir und unsre Könige und Priester gegeben in die Hand der Könige in den Ländern, ins Schwert, ins Gefängnis in Raub und in Scham des Angesichts, wie es heutigestages geht. ⁸ Nun aber ist einen kleinen Augenblick Gnade von dem HERRN, unserm Gott, geschehen, daß uns noch Entronnene übriggelassen sind, daß er uns gebe einen Nagel an seiner heiligen Stätte, daß unser Gott unsre Augen erleuchte und gebe uns ein wenig Leben, da wir Knechte sind. ⁹ Denn wir sind Knechte, und unser Gott hat uns nicht verlassen, ob wir Knechte sind, und hat Barmherzigkeit zu uns geneigt vor den Königen in Persien, daß sie uns das Leben gelassen haben und erhöht das Haus unsers Gottes und aufgerichtet seine Verstörung und uns gegeben einen Zaun in Juda und Jerusalem. ¹⁰ Nun, was sollen wir sagen, unser Gott, nach diesem, daß wir deine Gebote verlassen haben, ¹¹ die du durch deine Knechte, die Propheten, geboten hast und gesagt: Das Land, darein ihr kommt, es zu erben, ist ein unreines Land durch die Unreinigkeit der Völker in den Ländern in ihren Greueln, womit sie es an allen Enden voll Unreinigkeit gemacht haben. ¹² So sollt ihr nun eure Töchter nicht geben ihren Söhnen, und ihre Töchter sollt ihr euren Söhnen nicht nehmen; und sucht nicht ihren Frieden noch ihr Gutes ewiglich, auf daß ihr mächtig werdet und esset das Gute im Lande und vererbt es auf eure Kinder ewiglich. ¹³ Und nach dem allem, was über uns gekommen ist um unsrer bösen Werke großer Schuld willen, hast du, unser Gott, unsre Missetat verschont und hast uns eine Errettung gegeben, wie es da steht. ¹⁴ Sollten wir wiederum deine Gebote lassen fahren, daß wir uns mit den Völkern dieser Greuel befreundeten? Wirst du nicht über uns zürnen, bis daß es ganz aus sei, daß nichts Übriges noch keine Errettung sei? ¹⁵ HERR, Gott Israels, du bist gerecht; denn wir sind übriggeblieben als Errettete, wie es heute steht. Siehe, wir sind vor dir in unsrer Schuld; denn um deswillen ist nicht zu bestehen vor dir.

1 H3615 Da das alles war ausgerichtet H5066 , traten H8269 zu mir die Obersten H559 und sprachen H5971 : Das Volk H3478 Israel H3548 und die Priester H3881 und Leviten H914 sind nicht abgesondert H5971 von den Völkern H776 in den Ländern H8441 nach ihren Greueln H3669 , nämlich die Kanaaniter H2850 , Hethiter H6522 , Pheresiter H2983 , Jebusiter H5984 , Ammoniter H4125 , Moabiter H4713 , Ägypter H567 und Amoriter;

2 H1323 denn sie haben derselben Töchter H5375 genommen H1121 sich und ihren Söhnen H6944 und den heiligen H2233 Samen H6148 gemein gemacht H5971 mit den Völkern H776 in den Ländern H3027 . Und die Hand H8269 der Obersten H5461 und Ratsherren H7223 war die vornehmste H4604 in dieser Missetat .

3 H1697 Da ich solches H8085 hörte H7167 , zerriß H899 ich mein Kleid H4598 und meinen Rock H4803 und raufte H7218 H8181 mein Haupthaar H2206 und Bart H3427 aus und saß H8074 bestürzt .

4 H622 Und es versammelten H1697 sich zu mir alle, die des HERRN Wort H430 , des Gottes H3478 Israels H2730 , fürchteten H4604 , um der Vergreifung H1473 willen derer, die gefangen gewesen waren H3427 ; und ich saß H8074 bestürzt H6153 H4503 bis an das Abendopfer .

5 H6153 H4503 Und um das Abendopfer H6965 stand ich auf H8589 von meinem Elend H7167 und zerriß H899 mein Kleid H4598 und meinen Rock H3766 und fiel H1290 auf meine Kniee H6566 und breitete H3709 meine Hände H3068 aus zu dem HERRN H430 , meinem Gott,

6 H559 und sprach H430 : Mein Gott H954 , ich schäme H3637 mich und scheue H6440 mich, meine Augen H7311 aufzuheben H430 zu dir, mein Gott H5771 ; denn unsre Missetat H4605 ist über H7218 unser Haupt H7235 gewachsen H819 und unsre Schuld H1431 ist groß H8064 bis in den Himmel .

7 H3117 Von der Zeit H1 unsrer Väter H1419 an sind wir in großer H819 Schuld H3117 gewesen bis auf diesen Tag H5771 , und um unsrer Missetat H4428 willen sind wir und unsre Könige H3548 und Priester H5414 gegeben H3027 in die Hand H4428 der Könige H776 in den Ländern H2719 , ins Schwert H7628 , ins Gefängnis H961 , in Raub H1322 und in Scham H6440 des Angesichts H3117 , wie es heutigestages geht.

8 H4592 Nun aber ist einen kleinen H7281 Augenblick H8467 Gnade H3068 von dem HERRN H430 , unserm Gott H6413 , geschehen, daß uns noch Entronnene H7604 übriggelassen H5414 sind, daß er uns gebe H3489 einen Nagel H6944 an seiner heiligen H4725 Stätte H430 , daß unser Gott H5869 unsre Augen H215 erleuchte H5414 und gebe H4592 uns ein wenig H4241 Leben H5659 , da wir Knechte sind.

9 H5650 Denn wir sind Knechte H430 , und unser Gott H5800 hat uns nicht verlassen H5659 , ob wir Knechte H2617 sind, und hat Barmherzigkeit H5186 zu uns geneigt H6440 vor H4428 den Königen H6539 in Persien H4241 , daß sie uns das Leben H5414 gelassen H7311 haben und erhöht H1004 das Haus H430 unsers Gottes H5975 und aufgerichtet H2723 seine Verstörung H5414 und uns gegeben H1447 einen Zaun H3063 in Juda H3389 und Jerusalem .

10 H559 Nun, was sollen wir sagen H430 , unser Gott H310 , nach H4687 diesem, daß wir deine Gebote H5800 verlassen haben,

11 H3027 die du durch H5650 deine Knechte H5030 , die Propheten H6680 , geboten H559 hast und gesagt H776 : Das Land H935 , darein ihr kommt H3423 , es zu erben H5079 , ist ein unreines H776 Land H5079 durch die Unreinigkeit H5971 der Völker H776 in den Ländern H8441 in ihren Greueln H6310 , womit sie es an allen H6310 Enden H4390 voll H2932 Unreinigkeit gemacht haben.

12 H1323 So sollt ihr nun eure Töchter H5414 nicht geben H1121 ihren Söhnen H1323 , und ihre Töchter H1121 sollt ihr euren Söhnen H5375 nicht nehmen H1875 ; und suchet H7965 nicht ihren Frieden H2896 noch ihr Gutes H5704 H5769 ewiglich H2388 , auf daß ihr mächtig H398 werdet und esset H2898 das Gut H776 im Lande H3423 und vererbet H1121 es auf eure Kinder H5769 ewiglich .

13 H310 Und nach H935 dem allem, was über uns gekommen H7451 ist um unsrer bösen H4639 Werke H1419 und großer H819 Schuld H2820 willen, hast H430 du, unser Gott H5771 , unsre Missetat H4295 H2820 verschont H6413 und hast uns eine Errettung H5414 gegeben, wie es da steht.

14 H7725 Sollten wir wiederum H4687 deine Gebote H6565 lassen fahren H5971 , daß wir uns mit den Völkern H8441 dieser Greuel H2859 befreundeten H599 ? Wirst du nicht über uns zürnen H3615 , bis daß es ganz aus sei H7611 , daß nichts Übriges H6413 noch keine Errettung sei?

15 H3068 HERR H430 , Gott H3478 Israels H6662 , du bist gerecht H7604 ; denn wir sind übriggeblieben H6413 als Errettete H3117 , wie es heutigestages H6440 steht. Siehe, wir sind vor H819 dir in unsrer Schuld H5975 ; denn um deswillen ist nicht zu bestehen H6440 vor dir.

DSV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Als nu deze dingen voleind waren, traden de vorsten tot mij toe, zeggende: Het volk Israëls, en de priesters, en de Levieten, zijn niet afgezonderd van de volken dezer landen, naar hun gruwelen, namelijk van de Kanaänieten, de Hethieten, de Ferezieten, de Jebusieten, de Ammonieten, de Moabieten, de Egyptenaren en de Amorieten. ² Want zij hebben van hun dochteren genomen voor zichzelven en voor hun zonen, zodat zich vermengd hebben het heilig zaad met de volken dezer landen; ja, de hand der vorsten en overheden is de eerste geweest in deze overtreding. ³ Als ik nu deze zaak hoorde, scheurde ik mijn kleed en mijn mantel; en ik trok van het haar mijns hoofds en mijns baards uit, en zat verbaasd neder. ⁴ Toen verzamelden zich tot mij allen, die voor de woorden van den God Israëls beefden, om de overtreding der weggevoerden; doch ik bleef verbaasd zitten tot aan het avondoffer. ⁵ En omtrent het avondoffer stond ik op uit mijn bedruktheid, als ik nu mijn kleed en mijn mantel gescheurd had; en ik boog mij op mijn knieën, en breidde mijn handen uit tot den HEERE, mijn God; ⁶ En ik zeide: Mijn God, ik ben beschaamd en schaamrood, om mijn aangezicht tot U op te heffen, mijn God; want onze ongerechtigheden zijn vermenigvuldigd tot boven ons hoofd, en onze schuld is groot geworden tot aan den hemel. ⁷ Van de dagen onzer vaderen af zijn wij in grote schuld tot op dezen dag; en wij zijn om onze ongerechtigheden overgegeven, wij, onze koningen en onze priesters, in de hand van de koningen der landen, in zwaard, in gevangenis, en in roof, en in schaamte des aangezichts, gelijk het is te dezen dage. ⁸ En nu is er, als een klein ogenblik, een genade geschied van den HEERE, onzen God, om ons een ontkoming over te laten, en ons een nagel te geven in Zijn heilige plaats, om onze ogen te verlichten, o onze God, en om ons een weinig levens te geven in onze dienstbaarheid. ⁹ Want wij zijn knechten; doch in onze dienstbaarheid heeft ons onze God niet verlaten; maar Hij heeft weldadigheid tot ons geneigd voor het aangezicht der koningen van Perzië, dat Hij ons een weinig levens gave, om het huis onzes Gods te verhogen, en de woestigheden van hetzelve op te richten, en om ons een tuin te geven in Juda en te Jeruzalem. ¹⁰ En nu, wat zullen wij zeggen, o onze God! na dezen? Want wij hebben Uw geboden verlaten, ¹¹ Die Gij geboden hadt door den dienst Uwer knechten, de profeten, zeggende: Het land, waar gijlieden inkomt, om dat te erven, is een vuil land, door de vuiligheid van de volken der landen, om hun gruwelen, waarmede zij dat vervuld hebben, van het ene einde tot het andere einde, met hun onreinigheid. ¹² Zo zult gij nu uw dochteren niet geven aan hun zonen, en hun dochteren niet nemen voor uw zonen, en zult hun vrede en hun best niet zoeken, tot in eeuwigheid; opdat gij sterk wordt, en het goede des lands eet, en uw kinderen doet erven tot in eeuwigheid. ¹³ En na alles, wat over ons gekomen is, om onze boze werken, en om onze grote schuld, omdat Gij, o onze God! belet hebt, dat wij niet te onder zijn vanwege onze ongerechtigheid, en hebt ons een ontkoming gegeven, als deze is; ¹⁴ Zullen wij nu wederkeren, om Uw geboden te vernietigen, en ons te verzwageren met de volken dezer gruwelen? Zoudt Gij niet tegen ons toornen tot verterens toe, dat er geen overblijfsel noch ontkoming zij? ¹⁵ O HEERE, God van Israël! Gij zijt rechtvaardig; want wij zijn overgelaten ter ontkoming, als het is te dezen dage. Zie, wij zijn voor Uw aangezicht in onze schuld; want er is niemand, die voor Uw aangezicht zou kunnen bestaan, om zulks.

1 H428 Als nu deze H3615 H8763 dingen voleind waren H5066 H0 , traden H8269 de vorsten H413 tot H5066 H8738 mij toe H559 H8800 , zeggende H5971 : Het volk H3478 Israels H3548 , en de priesters H3881 , en de Levieten H3808 , zijn niet H914 H8738 afgezonderd H4480 van H5971 de volken H776 dezer landen H8441 , naar hun gruwelen H3669 , [namelijk] van de Kanaanieten H2850 , de Hethieten H6522 , de Ferezieten H2983 , de Jebusieten H5984 , de Ammonieten H4125 , de Moabieten H4713 , de Egyptenaren H567 en de Amorieten.

2 H3588 Want H4480 zij hebben van H1323 hun dochteren H5375 H8804 genomen H1121 voor zichzelven en voor hun zonen H6148 H8694 , zodat zich vermengd hebben H6944 het heilig H2233 zaad H5971 met de volken H776 dezer landen H3027 ; ja, de hand H8269 der vorsten H5461 en overheden H7223 is de eerste H1961 H8804 geweest H2088 in deze H4604 overtreding.

3 H2088 Als ik nu deze H1697 zaak H8085 H8800 hoorde H7167 H8804 , scheurde ik H899 mijn kleed H4598 en mijn mantel H4803 H0 ; en ik trok H4480 van H8181 het haar H7218 mijns hoofds H2206 en mijns baards H4803 H8799 uit H3427 H0 , en zat H8074 H8789 verbaasd H3427 H8799 neder.

4 H622 H8735 Toen verzamelden zich H413 tot H3605 mij allen H1697 , die voor de woorden H430 van den God H3478 Israels H2730 beefden H5921 , om H4604 de overtreding H1473 der weggevoerden H589 ; doch ik H3427 H0 bleef H8074 H8789 verbaasd H3427 H8802 zitten H5704 tot aan H6153 H4503 het avondoffer.

5 H6153 H4503 En omtrent het avondoffer H6965 H8804 stond ik op H4480 uit H8589 mijn bedruktheid H899 , als ik nu mijn kleed H4598 en mijn mantel H7167 H8800 gescheurd had H3766 H8799 ; en ik boog mij H5921 op H1290 mijn knieen H6566 H0 , en breidde H3709 mijn handen H6566 H8799 uit H413 tot H3068 den HEERE H430 , mijn God;

6 H559 H8799 En ik zeide H430 : Mijn God H954 H8804 , ik ben beschaamd H3637 H8738 en schaamrood H6440 , om mijn aangezicht H413 tot H7311 H8687 U op te heffen H430 , mijn God H3588 ; want H5771 onze ongerechtigheden H7235 H8804 zijn vermenigvuldigd H4605 tot boven H7218 [ons] hoofd H819 , en onze schuld H1431 H8804 is groot geworden H5704 tot aan H8064 den hemel.

7 H4480 Van H3117 de dagen H1 onzer vaderen H587 af zijn wij H1419 in grote H819 schuld H5704 tot op H2088 dezen H3117 dag H5771 ; en wij zijn om onze ongerechtigheden H5414 H8738 overgegeven H587 , wij H4428 , onze koningen H3548 [en] onze priesters H3027 , in de hand H4428 van de koningen H776 der landen H2719 , in zwaard H7628 , in gevangenis H961 , en in roof H1322 , en in schaamte H6440 des aangezichts H2088 , gelijk het is te dezen H3117 dage.

8 H2658 En nu H1961 H0 is er H4592 , als een klein H7281 ogenblik H8467 , een genade H1961 H8804 geschied H4480 van H3068 den HEERE H430 , onzen God H6413 , om ons een ontkoming H7604 H8687 over te laten H3489 , en ons een nagel H5414 H8800 te geven H6944 in Zijn heilige H4725 plaats H5869 , om onze ogen H215 H8687 te verlichten H430 , o onze God H4592 , en om ons een weinig H4241 levens H5414 H8800 te geven H5659 in onze dienstbaarheid.

9 H3588 Want H587 wij H5650 zijn knechten H5659 ; doch in onze dienstbaarheid H430 heeft ons onze God H3808 niet H5800 H8804 verlaten H2617 ; maar Hij heeft weldadigheid H5921 tot H5186 H8686 ons geneigd H6440 voor het aangezicht H4428 der koningen H6539 van Perzie H4241 , dat Hij ons [een] [weinig] levens H5414 H8800 gave H1004 , om het huis H430 onzes Gods H7311 H8788 te verhogen H2723 , en de woestigheden H5975 H8687 van hetzelve op te richten H1447 , en om ons een tuin H5414 H8800 te geven H3063 in Juda H3389 en te Jeruzalem.

10 H6258 En nu H4100 , wat H559 H8799 zullen wij zeggen H430 , o onze God H310 ! na H2063 dezen H3588 ? Want H4687 wij hebben Uw geboden H5800 H8804 verlaten,

11 H834 Die H6680 H8765 Gij geboden hadt H3027 door den dienst H5650 Uwer knechten H5030 , de profeten H559 H8800 , zeggende H776 : Het land H834 , waar H859 gijlieden H935 H8802 inkomt H3423 H8800 , om dat te erven H5079 , is een vuil H776 land H5079 , door de vuiligheid H5971 van de volken H776 der landen H8441 , om hun gruwelen H834 , waarmede H4390 H8765 zij dat vervuld hebben H4480 , van H6310 het ene einde H413 tot H6310 het andere einde H2932 , met hun onreinigheid.

12 H6258 Zo zult gij nu H1323 uw dochteren H408 niet H5414 H8799 geven H1121 aan hun zonen H1323 , en hun dochteren H408 niet H5375 H8799 nemen H1121 voor uw zonen H7965 , en zult hun vrede H2896 en hun best H3808 niet H1875 H8799 zoeken H5704 , tot in H5769 eeuwigheid H4616 ; opdat H2388 H8799 gij sterk wordt H2898 , en het goede H776 des lands H398 H8804 eet H1121 , en uw kinderen H3423 H8689 doet erven H5704 tot in H5769 eeuwigheid.

13 H310 En na H3605 alles H5921 , wat over H935 H8802 ons gekomen is H7451 , om onze boze H4639 werken H1419 , en om onze grote H819 schuld H3588 , omdat H859 Gij H430 , o onze God H2820 H8804 ! belet hebt H4295 , [dat] [wij] [niet] te onder H4480 zijn vanwege H5771 onze ongerechtigheid H6413 , en hebt ons een ontkoming H5414 H8804 gegeven H2063 , als deze is;

14 H7725 H8799 Zullen wij nu wederkeren H4687 , om Uw geboden H6565 H8687 te vernietigen H2859 H8692 , en ons te verzwageren H5971 met de volken H428 dezer H8441 gruwelen H3808 ? Zoudt Gij niet H599 H8799 tegen ons toornen H5704 tot H3615 H8763 verterens H369 H0 toe, dat er geen H7611 overblijfsel H6413 noch ontkoming H369 zij?

15 H3068 O HEERE H430 , God H3478 van Israel H589 ! Gij H6662 zijt rechtvaardig H3588 ; want H7604 H8738 wij zijn overgelaten H6413 ter ontkoming H2063 , als het is te dezen H3117 dage H2009 . Zie H6440 , wij zijn voor Uw aangezicht H819 in onze schuld H3588 ; want H369 er is niemand H6440 , die voor Uw aangezicht H5975 H8800 zou kunnen bestaan H5921 , om H2063 zulks.

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ Après cela, les chefs vinrent me trouver, et ils me dirent: Le peuple d’Israël, les prêtres, les lévites, ne sont plus séparés des peuples de la terre en leurs abominations; du Chananéen, de l’Hettéen, du Phérézéen, du Jébuséen, de l’Ammonite, du Moabite, du Mosérite, de l’Amorrhéen. ² Ils se sont mariés, eux et leurs fils, parmi ces peuples, et la semence sainte s’est détournée dans les nations de la terre, et la main des princes a été la première, en cette infraction à la loi. ³ Or, quand j’ouïs ces paroles, je déchirai mes vêtements, je fus saisi de crainte; je m’arrachai les cheveux et la barbe, et je m’assis tout contristé. ⁴ Et tous ceux qui suivaient la loi du Dieu d’Israël s’assemblèrent auprès de moi, à cause de cette infraction aux préceptes; et moi, toujours assis, je gardai un morne silence jusqu’au sacrifice du soir. ⁵ ¶ Et pendant le sacrifice du soir, je sortis de mon abattement; après avoir déchiré mes vêtements, saisi de crainte, je me mis à genoux, et j’étendis mes mains vers le Seigneur Dieu. ⁶ Et je dis: Seigneur, je suis plein de honte et de confusion, ô mon Dieu, en levant mon front devant vous; car nos dérèglements se sont accumulés sur nos têtes, et nos péchés ont monté jusqu’au ciel. ⁷ Depuis les jours de nos pères jusqu’à ce jour, nous avons vécu dans le péché, et à cause de nos transgressions, nous, nos rois, nos fils, nous avons été livrés aux rois des nations, par le glaive, la captivité, le pillage, et nous avons eu la honte au front comme nous l’avons encore. ⁸ Maintenant, notre Dieu a été bienveillant pour nous jusqu’à nous sauver, nous rétablir en ce lieu où est son sanctuaire, nous éclaircir les yeux, et nous accorder un peu de vie dans notre esclavage. ⁹ Car nous sommes esclaves; toutefois, en notre servitude, le Seigneur notre Dieu ne nous a pas abandonnés, et il nous a fait trouver miséricorde devant les rois de Perse, pour qu’ils nous accordassent un peu de vie, qu’ils relevassent le temple de notre Dieu, qu’ils le rétablissent en sa désolation, et qu’ils nous rendissent plus de sûreté en Juda et à Jérusalem. ¹⁰ Que dirons-nous après cela, ô notre Dieu? Car nous avons abandonné vos commandements, ¹¹ Que vous nous aviez donnés par vos serviteurs les prophètes, disant: La terre où vous allez pour qu’elle soit votre héritage est une terre troublée de fond en comble par les abominations des peuples qui l’habitent, et qui l’ont remplie d’un bout à l’autre de leurs impuretés. ¹² Ne donnez donc pas vos filles à leurs fils, et ne prenez point pour vos fils leurs filles; ne cherchez jamais leur pain ni leur bien-être, afin que vous vous affermissiez, que vous mangiez les biens de cette terre, et que vous les transmettiez en héritage à vos fils pour toujours. ¹³ Or, après tout ce qui nous est advenu à cause de nos mauvaises actions et de nos grands péchés, vous nous avez sauvés, parce qu’il n’est point de Dieu tel que vous, et que vous avez ôté nos iniquités. ¹⁴ Et nous avons recommencé à répudier vos commandements, à nous marier parmi ces peuples; ô Seigneur, ne soyez pas irrité contre nous jusqu’à nous anéantir, sans que nul parmi nous échappe et soit épargné. ¹⁵ Seigneur Dieu d’Israël, vous êtes juste, car nous voilà sains et saufs en ce jour; voilà que nous sommes devant vous dans nos péchés, et après de tels excès on ne peut subsister devant vous.

Et quand ces choses furent terminées, les chefs s'approchèrent de moi, en disant: Le peuple d'Israël, et les sacrificateurs et les lévites, ne se sont pas séparés des peuples des pays, quant à leurs abominations, savoir celles des Cananéens, des Héthiens, des Phéréziens, des Jébusiens, des Ammonites, des Moabites, des Égyptiens, et des Amoréens, ² car ils ont pris de leurs filles pour eux et pour leurs fils, et ont mêlé la semence sainte avec les peuples des pays; et la main des chefs et des gouverneurs a été la première dans ce péché. ³ Et quand j'entendis cela, je déchirai mon manteau et ma robe, et j'arrachai les cheveux de ma tête et ma barbe, et je m'assis désolé; ⁴ et vers moi s'assemblèrent tous ceux qui tremblaient aux paroles du Dieu d'Israël, à cause du péché de ceux qui avaient été transportés; et je restai assis, désolé, jusqu'à l'offrande du soir. ⁵
Et lors de l'offrande du soir, je me levai de mon humiliation, et, mon manteau et ma robe déchirés, je m'agenouillai, et j'étendis mes mains vers l'Éternel, mon Dieu, ⁶ et je dis: Mon Dieu, je suis confus, et j'ai honte de lever ma face vers toi, ô mon Dieu; car nos iniquités se sont multipliées par-dessus nos têtes, et notre coulpe a grandi jusqu'aux cieux. ⁷ Dès les jours de nos pères jusqu'à ce jour, nous avons été grandement coupables; et à cause de nos iniquités, nous, nos rois, nos sacrificateurs, nous avons été livrés en la main des rois des pays, à l'épée, à la captivité, et au pillage, et à la confusion de face, comme il paraît aujourd'hui; ⁸ et maintenant, pour un moment, nous est arrivée une faveur de la part de l'Éternel, notre Dieu, pour nous laisser des réchappés et pour nous donner un clou dans son saint lieu, afin que notre Dieu éclaire nos yeux et nous redonne un peu de vie dans notre servitude, car nous sommes serviteurs; ⁹ mais, dans notre servitude, notre Dieu ne nous a pas abandonnés, et il a étendu sa bonté sur nous devant les rois de Perse, afin de nous redonner de la vie pour élever la maison de notre Dieu et pour restaurer ses ruines, et pour nous donner des murs en Juda et à Jérusalem. ¹⁰ Et maintenant, ô notre Dieu, que dirons-nous après cela? Car nous avons abandonné tes commandements, ¹¹ que tu as commandés par tes serviteurs les prophètes, en disant: Le pays dans lequel vous entrez pour le posséder, est un pays rendu impur par l'impureté des peuples des pays, par les abominations dont ils l'ont rempli d'un bout à l'autre par leurs souillures. ¹² Et maintenant, ne donnez pas vos filles à leurs fils, et ne prenez pas leurs filles pour vos fils, et ne cherchez pas leur paix ou leur bien, à jamais, afin que vous soyez forts, et que vous mangiez les biens du pays, et que vous les laissiez en possession à vos fils à toujours. ¹³ Et après tout ce qui nous est arrivé à cause de nos mauvaises oeuvres et à cause de notre grand péché...; mais toi, notre Dieu, tu nous as moins punis que ne méritaient nos iniquités, et tu nous as donné une délivrance comme celle-ci; ¹⁴ -est-ce que nous retournerions à enfreindre tes commandements et à nous allier par mariage avec les peuples qui font ces abominations? Ne serais-tu pas courroucé contre nous jusqu'à nous consumer, en sorte qu'il n'y aurait ni reste ni réchappés? ¹⁵ Éternel, Dieu d'Israël, tu es juste, car nous sommes un reste de réchappés, comme il paraît aujourd'hui. Nous voici devant toi dans notre culpabilité, car, à cause de cela, on ne peut se tenir devant toi.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Or sitôt que ces choses-là furent achevées, les principaux du peuple s'approchèrent vers moi, en disant : Le peuple d'Israël, et les Sacrificateurs, et les Lévites ne se sont point séparés des peuples de ces pays, comme ils le devaient faire à cause de leurs abominations, savoir des Cananéens, des Héthiens, des Phéréziens, des Jébusiens, des Hammonites, des Moabites, des Egyptiens, et des Amorrhéens. ² Car ils ont pris de leurs filles pour eux et pour leurs fils; et la semence sainte a été mêlée avec les peuples de ces pays; et même il y a des principaux du peuple, et plusieurs magistrats, qui ont été les premiers à commettre ce péché. ³ Et sitôt que j'eus entendu cela, je déchirai mes vêtements, et mon manteau, et j'arrachai les cheveux de ma tête, et les poils de ma barbe, et je m'assis tout désolé. ⁴ Et tous ceux qui tremblaient aux paroles du Dieu d'Israël, s'assemblèrent vers moi à cause du crime de ceux de la captivité, et je demeurai assis tout désolé jusqu'à l'oblation du soir. ⁵ Et au temps de l'oblation du soir je me levai de mon affliction, et ayant mes vêtements et mon manteau déchirés, je me mis à genoux, et j'étendis mes mains vers l'Eternel mon Dieu, ⁶ Et je dis : Mon Dieu! j'ai honte, et je suis trop confus pour oser élever, ô mon Dieu! ma face vers toi; car nos iniquités sont multipliées au dessus de nos têtes, et notre crime s'est élevé jusques aux cieux. ⁷ Depuis les jours de nos pères jusqu'à aujourd'hui nous sommes extrêmement coupables; et nous avons été livrés à cause de nos iniquités, nous, nos Rois, et nos Sacrificateurs, entre les mains des Rois des pays, pour être mis au fil de l'épée, emmenés captifs, pillés, et exposés à l'ignominie, comme il paraît aujourd'hui. ⁸ Mais l'Eternel notre Dieu nous a maintenant fait grâce, comme en un moment, de sorte qu'il a fait que quelques-uns de nous sont demeurés de reste, et il nous a donné un clou dans son saint lieu, afin que notre Dieu éclairât nos yeux, et nous donnât quelque petit répit dans notre servitude. ⁹ Car nous sommes esclaves, et toutefois notre Dieu ne nous a point abandonnés dans notre servitude; mais il nous a fait trouver grâce devant les Rois de Perse, pour nous donner du répit, afin de relever la maison de notre Dieu, et rétablir ses lieux déserts, et pour nous donner une cloison en Juda, et à Jérusalem. ¹⁰ Mais maintenant, ô notre Dieu! que dirons-nous après ces choses ? car nous avons abandonné tes commandements, ¹¹ Que tu as donnés par tes serviteurs les Prophètes, en disant : Le pays auquel vous allez entrer pour le posséder, est un pays souillé par la souillure des peuples de ces pays-là, à cause des abominations dont ils l'ont rempli, depuis un bout jusqu'à l'autre par leurs impuretés. ¹² Maintenant donc, ne donnez point vos filles à leurs fils, et ne prenez point leurs filles pour vos fils, et ne cherchez point leur paix, ni leur bien à jamais; afin que vous soyez affermis, et que vous mangiez les biens du pays, et que vous le fassiez hériter à vos fils pour toujours. ¹³ Or après toutes les choses qui nous sont arrivées à cause de nos mauvaises oeuvres, et du grand crime qui s'est trouvé en nous; et parce, ô notre Dieu! que tu es demeuré dans tes punitions au dessous de ce que nos péchés méritaient, et que tu nous as donné un résidu tel qu'est celui-ci; ¹⁴ Retournerions-nous à enfreindre tes commandements, et à faire alliance avec ces peuples abominables ? Ne serais-tu pas irrité contre nous, jusqu'à nous consumer, en sorte qu'il n'y aurait plus aucun résidu, ni aucune ressource ? ¹⁵ Eternel Dieu d'Israël! tu es juste; car nous sommes demeurés de reste, comme il se voit aujourd'hui. Voici, nous sommes devant toi avec notre crime; quoiqu'il n'y ait pas moyen de subsister devant toi à cause de ce que nous avons fait.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Après que cela fut terminé, les chefs s'approchèrent de moi, en disant: Le peuple d'Israël, les sacrificateurs et les Lévites ne se sont point séparés des peuples de ces pays, et ils imitent leurs abominations, celles des Cananéens, des Héthiens, des Phéréziens, des Jébusiens, des Ammonites, des Moabites, des Egyptiens et des Amoréens. ² Car ils ont pris de leurs filles pour eux et pour leurs fils, et ont mêlé la race sainte avec les peuples de ces pays; et les chefs et les magistrats ont été les premiers à commettre ce péché. ³ Lorsque j'entendis cela, je déchirai mes vêtements et mon manteau, je m'arrachai les cheveux de la tête et les poils de la barbe, et je m'assis désolé. ⁴ Auprès de moi s'assemblèrent tous ceux que faisaient trembler les paroles du Dieu d'Israël, à cause du péché des fils de la captivité; et moi, je restai assis et désolé, jusqu'à l'offrande du soir. ⁵ Puis, au moment de l'offrande du soir, je me levai du sein de mon humiliation, avec mes vêtements et mon manteau déchirés, je tombai à genoux, j'étendis les mains vers l'Eternel, mon Dieu, ⁶ et je dis: Mon Dieu, je suis dans la confusion, et j'ai honte, ô mon Dieu, de lever ma face vers toi; car nos iniquités se sont multipliées par-dessus nos têtes, et nos fautes ont atteint jusqu'aux cieux. ⁷ Depuis les jours de nos pères nous avons été grandement coupables jusqu'à ce jour, et c'est à cause de nos iniquités que nous avons été livrés, nous, nos rois et nos sacrificateurs, aux mains des rois étrangers, à l'épée, à la captivité, au pillage, et à la honte qui couvre aujourd'hui notre visage. ⁸ Et cependant l'Eternel, notre Dieu, vient de nous faire grâce en nous laissant quelques réchappés et en nous accordant un abri dans son saint lieu, afin d'éclaircir nos yeux et de nous donner un peu de vie au milieu de notre servitude. ⁹ Car nous sommes esclaves, mais Dieu ne nous a pas abandonnés dans notre servitude. Il nous a rendus les objets de la bienveillance des rois de Perse, pour nous conserver la vie afin que nous puissions bâtir la maison de notre Dieu et en relever les ruines, et pour nous donner une retraite en Juda et à Jérusalem. ¹⁰ Maintenant, que dirons-nous après cela, ô notre Dieu? Car nous avons abandonné tes commandements, ¹¹ que tu nous avais prescrits par tes serviteurs les prophètes, en disant: Le pays dans lequel vous entrez pour le posséder est un pays souillé par les impuretés des peuples de ces contrées, par les abominations dont ils l'ont rempli d'un bout à l'autre avec leurs impuretés; ¹² ne donnez donc point vos filles à leurs fils et ne prenez point leurs filles pour vos fils, et n'ayez jamais souci ni de leur prospérité ni de leur bien-être, et ainsi vous deviendrez forts, vous mangerez les meilleures productions du pays, et vous le laisserez pour toujours en héritage à vos fils. ¹³ Après tout ce qui nous est arrivé à cause des mauvaises actions et des grandes fautes que nous avons commises, quoique tu ne nous aies pas, ô notre Dieu, punis en proportion de nos iniquités, et maintenant que tu nous as conservé ces réchappés, ¹⁴ recommencerions-nous à violer tes commandements et à nous allier avec ces peuples abominables? Ta colère n'éclaterait-elle pas encore contre nous jusqu'à nous détruire, sans laisser ni reste ni réchappés? ¹⁵ Eternel, Dieu d'Israël, tu es juste, car nous sommes aujourd'hui un reste de réchappés. Nous voici devant toi comme des coupables, et nous ne saurions ainsi subsister devant ta face.

1 H3615 ¶ Après que cela fut terminé H8763 H8269 , les chefs H5066 s’approchèrent H8738 H559 de moi, en disant H8800 H5971 : Le peuple H3478 d’Israël H3548 , les sacrificateurs H3881 et les Lévites H914 ne se sont point séparés H8738 H5971 des peuples H776 de ces pays H8441 , et ils imitent leurs abominations H3669 , celles des Cananéens H2850 , des Héthiens H6522 , des Phéréziens H2983 , des Jébusiens H5984 , des Ammonites H4125 , des Moabites H4713 , des Egyptiens H567 et des Amoréens.

2 H5375 Car ils ont pris H8804 H1323 de leurs filles H1121 pour eux et pour leurs fils H6148 , et ont mêlé H8694 H2233 la race H6944 sainte H5971 avec les peuples H776 de ces pays H3027 ; H8269 et les chefs H5461 et les magistrats H7223 ont été les premiers H4604 à commettre ce péché.

3 H8085 Lorsque j’entendis H8800 H1697 cela H7167 , je déchirai H8804 H899 mes vêtements H4598 et mon manteau H4803 , je m’arrachai H8799 H8181 les cheveux H7218 de la tête H2206 et les poils de la barbe H3427 , et je m’assis H8799 H8074 désolé H8789 .

4 H622 Auprès de moi s’assemblèrent H8735 H2730 tous ceux que faisaient trembler H1697 les paroles H430 du Dieu H3478 d’Israël H4604 , à cause du péché H1473 des fils de la captivité H3427 ; et moi, je restai assis H8802 H8074 et désolé H8789 H4503 , jusqu’à l’offrande H6153 du soir.

5 H4503 ¶ Puis, au moment de l’offrande H6153 du soir H6965 , je me levai H8804 H8589 du sein de mon humiliation H899 , avec mes vêtements H4598 et mon manteau H7167 déchirés H8800 H3766 , je tombai H8799 H1290 à genoux H6566 , j’étendis H8799 H3709 les mains H3068 vers l’Eternel H430 , mon Dieu,

6 H559 et je dis H8799 H430 : Mon Dieu H954 , je suis dans la confusion H8804 H3637 , et j’ai honte H8738 H430 , ô mon Dieu H7311 , de lever H8687 H6440 ma face H5771 vers toi ; car nos iniquités H7235 se sont multipliées H8804 H4605 par-dessus H7218 nos têtes H819 , et nos fautes H1431 ont atteint H8804 H8064 jusqu’aux cieux.

7 H3117 Depuis les jours H1 de nos pères H1419 nous avons été grandement H819 coupables H3117 jusqu’à ce jour H5771 , et c’est à cause de nos iniquités H5414 que nous avons été livrés H8738 H4428 , nous, nos rois H3548 et nos sacrificateurs H3027 , aux mains H4428 des rois H776 étrangers H2719 , à l’épée H7628 , à la captivité H961 , au pillage H1322 , et à la honte H3117 qui couvre aujourd’hui H6440 notre visage.

8 H4592 Et cependant H7281 H3068 l’Eternel H430 , notre Dieu H8467 , vient de nous faire grâce H7604 en nous laissant H8687 H6413 quelques réchappés H5414 et en nous accordant H8800 H3489 un abri H6944 dans son saint H4725 lieu H430 , H215 afin d’éclaircir H8687 H5869 nos yeux H5414 et de nous donner H8800 H4592 un peu H4241 de vie H5659 au milieu de notre servitude.

9 H5650 Car nous sommes esclaves H430 , mais Dieu H5800 ne nous a pas abandonnés H8804 H5659 dans notre servitude H5186 . Il nous a rendus H8686 H2617 les objets de la bienveillance H6440 H4428 des rois H6539 de Perse H5414 , pour nous conserver H8800 H4241 la vie H7311 afin que nous puissions bâtir H8788 H1004 la maison H430 de notre Dieu H5975 et en relever H8687 H2723 les ruines H5414 , et pour nous donner H8800 H1447 une retraite H3063 en Juda H3389 et à Jérusalem.

10 H559 Maintenant, que dirons H8799 H310 -nous après H430 cela, ô notre Dieu H5800 ? Car nous avons abandonné H8804 H4687 tes commandements,

11 H6680 que tu nous avais prescrits H8765 H3027 par H5650 tes serviteurs H5030 les prophètes H559 , en disant H8800 H776 : Le pays H935 dans lequel vous entrez H8802 H3423 pour le posséder H8800 H776 est un pays H5079 souillé H5079 par les impuretés H5971 des peuples H776 de ces contrées H8441 , par les abominations H4390 dont ils l’ont rempli H8765 H6310 d’un bout H6310 à l’autre H2932 avec leurs impuretés ;

12 H5414 ne donnez H8799 H1323 donc point vos filles H1121 à leurs fils H5375 et ne prenez H8799 H1323 point leurs filles H1121 pour vos fils H5769 , et n’ayez jamais H1875 souci H8799 H2896 ni de leur prospérité H7965 ni de leur bien-être H2388 , et ainsi vous deviendrez forts H8799 H398 , vous mangerez H8804 H2898 les meilleures H776 productions du pays H5704 , et vous le laisserez pour H5769 toujours H3423 en héritage H8689 H1121 à vos fils.

13 H310 Après H935 tout ce qui nous est arrivé H8802 H7451 à cause des mauvaises H4639 actions H1419 et des grandes H819 fautes H430 que nous avons commises, quoique tu ne nous aies pas, ô notre Dieu H2820 , punis H8804 H4295 en proportion H5771 de nos iniquités H5414 , et maintenant que tu nous as conservé H8804 H6413 ces réchappés,

14 H7725 recommencerions H8799 H6565 -nous à violer H8687 H4687 tes commandements H2859 et à nous allier H8692 H5971 avec ces peuples H8441 abominables H599 ? Ta colère H8799 H3615 n’éclaterait-elle pas encore contre nous jusqu’à nous détruire H8763 H7611 , sans laisser ni reste H6413 ni réchappés ?

15 H3068 Eternel H430 , Dieu H3478 d’Israël H6662 , tu es juste H3117 , car nous sommes aujourd’hui H7604 un reste H8738 H6413 de réchappés H6440 . Nous voici devant H819 toi comme des coupables H5975 , et nous ne saurions ainsi subsister H8800 H6440 devant ta face.

SE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Y acabadas estas cosas, los príncipes se llegaron a mí, diciendo: El pueblo de Israel, y los sacerdotes y levitas, no se han apartado de los pueblos de las tierras, de los cananeos, heteos, ferezeos, jebuseos, amonitas, y moabitas, egipcios, y amorreos, haciendo conforme a sus abominaciones. ² Porque han tomado de sus hijas para sí y para sus hijos, y la simiente santa es mezclada con los pueblos de las tierras; y la mano de los príncipes y de los gobernadores ha sido la primera en esta prevaricación. ³ Lo cual oyendo yo, rasgué mi vestido y mi manto, y arranqué de los cabellos de mi cabeza y de mi barba, y me senté atónito. ⁴ Y se juntaron a mí todos los temerosos de las palabras del Dios de Israel, a causa de la prevaricación de los de la transmigración; mas yo estuve sentado atónito hasta el sacrificio de la tarde. ⁵ Y al sacrificio de la tarde me levanté de mi aflicción; y habiendo rasgado mi vestido y mi manto, me postré de rodillas, y extendí mis palmas al SEÑOR mi Dios, ⁶ y dije: Dios mío, confuso y avergonzado estoy para levantar, oh Dios mío, mi rostro a ti; porque nuestras iniquidades se han multiplicado sobre nuestra cabeza, y nuestros delitos han crecido hasta el cielo. ⁷ Desde los días de nuestros padres hasta este día hemos estado en gran delito; y por nuestras iniquidades nosotros, nuestros reyes, y nuestros sacerdotes, hemos sido entregados en manos de los reyes de las tierras, a cuchillo, a cautiverio, y a robo, y a confusión de rostro, como hoy día. ⁸ Y ahora como por un breve momento fue la misericordia del SEÑOR nuestro Dios, para hacer que nos quedase escapadura, y nos diese estaca en el lugar de su santuario para nuestro Dios alumbrar nuestros ojos y darnos un poco de vida en nuestra servidumbre. ⁹ Porque siervos éramos; mas en nuestra servidumbre no nos desamparó nuestro Dios, antes inclinó sobre nosotros misericordia delante del rey de Persia, para que se nos diese vida para alzar la Casa de nuestro Dios, y para hacer restaurar sus asolamientos, y para darnos vallado en Judá y en Jerusalén. ¹⁰ Mas ahora, ¿qué diremos, oh Dios nuestro, después de esto?

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Mbasi përfunduan këto gjëra, krerët erdhën tek unë, duke thënë: "Populli i Izraelit, priftërinjtë dhe Levitët nuk janë ndarë nga popujt e këtyre vendeve, për gjërat e neveritshme të Kananejve, të ² Në fakt ata kanë marrë si bashkëshorte disa nga bijat e tyre për vete dhe për bijtë e tyre, duke përzier kështu fisin e shenjtë me popujt e këtyre vendeve. Mjerisht gjyqtarët kanë qenë të parët që e kryen këtë mëkat". ³ Kur dëgjova këtë gjë, grisa rrobat dhe mantelin, shkula flokët e kokës dhe mjekrën, dhe u ula i shtangur. ⁴ Atëherë tërë ata që dridheshin nga fjalët e Perëndisë të Izraelit u mblodhën rreth meje për shkak të mëkatit të atyre që ishin kthyer nga robëria; dhe unë mbeta i ulur dhe i shtangur deri në blatimin e mbrëmjes. ⁵ Në blatimin e mbrëmjes u ngrita nga agjerimi, me rrobat dhe mantelin të grisur; pastaj rashë në gjunjë dhe shtriva duart nga Zoti, Perëndia im, ⁶ dhe thashë: "O Perëndia im, unë jam i pështjelluar dhe më vjen turp të ngre fytyrën time ndaj teje, o Perëndia im, sepse paudhësitë tona janë shumëzuar deri mbi kokën tonë, dhe faji ynë ka arritur deri në qiell. ⁷ Nga ditët e etërve tanë deri në ditën e sotme kemi qenë shumë fajtorë, dhe për shkak të paudhësive tona ne, mbretërit tanë dhe priftërinjtë tanë u lamë në duart e mbretërve të kombeve të huaja, nën kanosjen e shpatës, të internimit, të plaçkitjes dhe të turpit, ashtu si po ndodh tani. ⁸ Por tani Zoti, Perëndia ynë, na ka dhënë hir për një çast të shkurtër, duke na lënë një mbetje dhe duke na dhënë një strehë në vendin e tij të shenjtë, dhe kështu Perëndia ynë i ka ndriçuar sytë tanë dhe na ka dhënë një rizgjim të vogël në skllavërinë tonë. ⁹ Në të vërtetë ne ishim skllevër, megjithatë Perëndia ynë nuk na braktisi në skllavërinë tonë, por na siguroi mirëdashjen e mbretërve të Persisë, duke na rizgjuar për të ngritur përsëri shtëpinë e Perëndisë tonë, duke restauruar rrënojat e saj dhe për të na dhënë një mur mbrojtjeje në Judë dhe Jeruzalem. ¹⁰ Por tani, o Perëndia ynë, çfarë do të themi pas kësaj? Sepse i kemi braktisur urdhërimet e tua, ¹¹ që na kishe urdhëruar me anë të shërbëtorëve të tu, profetëve, duke thënë: "Vendi në të cilin po hyni për ta shtënë në dorë është një vend i papastër për shkak të papastërtisë së popujve të këtyre vendeve, për shkak të gjërave të neveritshme me të cilat e kanë mbushur fund e krye me ndotjet e tyre. ¹² Prandaj tani mos u jepni bijat tuaja bijve të tyre dhe mos merrni bijat e tyre për bijtë tuaj; mos kërkoni kurrë begatinë e tyre, as mirëqënien e tyre, sepse kështu do të bëheni të fortë, do të hani prodhimet më të mira të vendit dhe do t'ua lini atë në trashëgimi bijve tuaj përjetë". ¹³ Por mbas gjithë asaj që na ra mbi krye për shkak të veprimeve tona të këqija dhe të fajeve tona të mëdha, duke qenë se ti, o Perëndia ynë, na dënove më pak nga sa e meritonin fajet tona dhe na le një pikë si kjo, ¹⁴ a do të kthehemi përsëri të shkelim urdhërimet e tua dhe të bashkohemi me martesë me popujt që kryejnë këto gjëra të neveritshme? A nuk do të zemëroheshe kundër nesh deri sa të shkatërroje pa lënë asnjë të mbetur ose të shpëtuar? ¹⁵ O Zot, Perëndia i Izraelit, ti je i drejtë, prandaj ne kemi mbetur sot, një mbetje njerëzish që kanë shpëtuar. Ja ku jemi para teje me fajin tonë, megjithëse për shkak të tij asnjë nuk mund të qëndrojë para teje!".

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ По окончании сего, подошли ко мне начальствующие и сказали: народИзраилев и священники и левиты не отделились от народов иноплеменных с мерзостями их, отХананеев, Хеттеев, Ферезеев, Иевусеев, Аммонитян, Моавитян, Египтян и Аморреев, ² потому что взяли дочерей их за себя и за сыновей своих, и смешалось семя святое с народами иноплеменными, и притом рука знатнейших и главнейших была в сем беззаконии первою. ³ Услышав это слово, я разодрал нижнюю и верхнюю одежду мою и рвал волосы на голове моей и на бороде моей, и сидел печальный. ⁴ Тогда собрались ко мне все, убоявшиеся слов Бога Израилева по причине преступленияпереселенцев, и я сидел в печали до вечерней жертвы. ⁵ А во время вечерней жертвы я встал с места сетования моего, и в разодранной нижней и верхней одежде пал на колени мои и простер руки мои к Господу Богу моему ⁶ и сказал: Боже мой! стыжусь и боюсь поднять лице мое к Тебе, Боже мой, потому что беззакония наши стали выше головы, и вина наша возросла до небес. ⁷ Со дней отцов наших мы в великой вине до сего дня, и за беззакония наши преданы были мы, цари наши, священники наши, в руки царей иноземных,под меч, в плен и на разграбление и на посрамление, как это и ныне. ⁸ И вот, по малом времени, даровано нам помилование от Господа Бога нашего, и Он оставил у нас несколько уцелевших и дал нам утвердиться на месте святыни Его, и просветил глаза наши Бог наш, и дал нам ожить немного в рабстве нашем. ⁹ Мы – рабы, но и в рабстве нашем не оставил нас Бог наш. И склонил Он к нам милость царей Персидских, чтоб они дали нам ожить, воздвигнуть дом Бога нашего и восстановить его из развалин его, и дали нам ограждение в Иудее и в Иерусалиме. ¹⁰ И ныне, что скажем мы, Боже наш, после этого? Ибо мы отступили от заповедей Твоих, ¹¹ которые заповедал Ты чрез рабов Твоих пророков, говоря: земля, вкоторую идете вы, чтоб овладеть ею, земля нечистая, она осквернена нечистотою иноплеменныхнародов, их мерзостями, которыми они наполнили ее от края до края в осквернениях своих. ¹² Итак дочерей ваших не выдавайте за сыновей их, и дочерей их не берите за сыновей ваших, и не ищите мира их и блага их во веки, чтобы укрепиться вам и питаться благами земли той и передать ее в наследие сыновьям вашим на веки. ¹³ И после всего, постигшего нас за худые дела наши и за великую вину нашу, – ибо Ты, Боже наш, пощадил нас не по мере беззакония нашего и дал нам такое избавление, – ¹⁴ неужели мы опять будем нарушать заповеди Твои ивступать в родство с этими отвратительными народами? Не прогневаешься ли Ты на нас даже до истребления нас , так что не будет уцелевших и не будет спасения? ¹⁵ Господи Боже Израилев! праведен Ты. Ибо мы остались уцелевшими до сего дня; и вот мы в беззакониях наших пред лицем Твоим, хотя после этого не надлежало бы нам стоять пред лицем Твоим.

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ И когато това беше свършено, началниците дойдоха при мен и казаха: Израилевият народ и свещениците, и левитите не са се отделили от народите на тези земи според техните мерзости — от ханаанците, хетейците, ферезейците, евусейците, амонците, моавците, египтяните и аморейците — ² защото са вземали от дъщерите им за себе си и за синовете си и така светият род се е смесил с народите на тези земи; дори ръката на началниците и управителите е била първа в това престъпление. ³ И като чух това нещо, раздрах дрехата си и мантията си, скубах косата на главата си и брадата си, и седях като вцепенен. ⁴ Тогава се събраха при мен всички, които трепереха от думите на Израилевия Бог заради престъплението на отведените в плен; а аз седях като вцепенен до вечерната жертва. ⁵ А във времето на вечерната жертва станах от унижението си, като бях раздрал дрехата си и мантията си, и паднах на колене, и прострях ръцете си към ГОСПОДА, своя Бог, и казах: ⁶ Боже мой, срамувам се и се свеня да повдигна лицето си към Теб, Боже мой, защото беззаконията ни надвишиха главите ни и грехът ни порасна до небесата. ⁷ От дните на бащите си до днес ние сме били в голям грях; и поради беззаконията си ние, царете ни и свещениците ни бяхме предадени в ръката на царете на други земи, на меч, на плен, на разграбване и на опозоряване на лицата ни, както е днес. ⁸ И сега за един кратък миг ни се оказа милост от ГОСПОДА, нашия Бог, като Той ни остави остатък и ни закрепи в Своето свято място, за да просветли нашият Бог очите ни и да ни даде малко съживление в робството ни. ⁹ Защото сме роби, но и в робството ни нашият Бог не ни е оставил, а ни е оказал милост пред персийските царе, за да ни даде съживление, за да съградим дома на нашия Бог и да издигнем развалините му, и за да ни даде крепостна стена в Юда и в Ерусалим. ¹⁰ И сега, Боже наш, какво да кажем след това? Защото ние оставихме заповедите Ти, ¹¹ които си ни дал чрез слугите Си, пророците, като си казал: Земята, в която влизате, за да я завладеете, е нечиста земя заради нечистотите на народите на земите и мерзостите, с които са я напълнили от край до край с нечистотата си. ¹² И така, да не давате дъщерите си на синовете им и да не вземате техните дъщери за синовете си, и да не търсите мира им и благополучието им до века, за да се укрепите и да ядете благата на земята, и да я оставите в наследство на синовете си до века. ¹³ И след всичко, което дойде върху нас заради злите ни дела и заради големия ни грях — въпреки че Ти, Боже наш, си ни пощадил повече, отколкото заслужават беззаконията ни, и си ни дал такова избавление — ¹⁴ пак ли да нарушаваме Твоите заповеди и да се сродяваме с народите, предадени на тези мерзости? Няма ли да ни се разгневиш, докато се довършим и не остане никакъв остатък и никакво избавление? ¹⁵ ГОСПОДИ, Боже на Израил, Ти си праведен! Защото ние сме останалите избавени, както е днес. Ето, пред Теб сме с вината си, защото поради това никой не може да устои пред Теб.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Pošto je sve to uređeno, dođoše mi glavari govoreći: "Izraelski narod, svećenici i leviti nisu se odvojili od naroda zemlje, okorjelih u njihovim gnusobama: nisu se odijelili od Kanaanaca, Hetita, Perižana, Jebusejaca, Amonaca, Moabaca, Egipćana i Amorejaca, ² nego su za sebe i za sinove svoje uzimali za žene njihove kćeri: sveti rod pomiješao se s narodima zemlje; glavari i savjetnici prvi su počinili tu nevjernost." ³ Na tu vijest razderah svoju odjeću i svoj ogrtač, čupao sam kosu i bradu svoju i sjedoh utučen. ⁴ Svi koji su strahovali od riječi Božje sakupili se oko mene zbog nevjernosti onih povratnika. A ja sam sveudilj sjedio utučen, sve do večernje žrtve. ⁵ A o večernjoj žrtvi trgnuh se iz svoga jada i, razderane odjeće i ogrtača, padoh na koljena, raširih ruke prema Jahvi, Bogu svome, ⁶ i rekoh: "Bože moj! Stid me i bojim se podići svoje lice k tebi, Bože moj! Jer su se umnožila zlodjela naša preko glave i grijesi su se naši nagomilali do neba. ⁷ Od vremena otaca svojih pa do danas u krivnji smo velikoj i zbog zlodjela svojih bijasmo predani u ruke zemaljskih kraljeva: mi, kraljevi naši i svećenici naši - pod mač, u sužanjstvo, u plijen i na sramotu, kao što je to i danas. ⁸ Ali sada, za kratko vrijeme, učinio nam je Jahve, Bog naš, milost i ostavi nam Ostatak i dade nam utočište u svome svetom mjestu: tako nam je Bog naš prosvijetlio oči i dao nam malo života u robovanju našem. ⁹ Jer mi smo robovi, ali nas u ropstvu našem nije nikada ostavio Bog naš: nego nam dade te nađosmo milost u perzijskih kraljeva, dade nam snage da podignemo Dom Boga našega i da obnovimo njegove ruševine i pribavi nam utočište u Judeji i Jeruzalemu. ¹⁰ Ali sada, što možemo reći, Bože moj, kad smo poslije svega toga odnemarili zapovijedi tvoje ¹¹ koje si zapovjedio preko svojih slugu proroka ovim riječima: 'Zemlja u koju ulazite da je zaposjednete nečista je zemlja od nečistoće naroda zemlje, od gnusoba njihovih kojima su se napunili od jednoga kraja do drugoga. ¹² Stoga ne dajite kćeri svojih za njihove sinove i ne uzimajte njihovih kćeri za svoje sinove, ne želite nikakav njihov mir i sreću njihovu, da biste postali snažni i jeli najbolje plodove zemlje i ostavili je zauvijek u nasljedstvo sinovima svojim.' ¹³ I poslije svega što nas je stiglo zbog zlih djela naših i zbog naše velike krivice, dobro je, o Bože naš, što si naša zlodjela smatrao manjima nego što je zloća njihova i što si nam ostavio ovaj Ostatak! ¹⁴ Zar možemo i dalje kršiti naredbe tvoje i vezivati se s ovim gnusnim narodima? Ne bi li se ti razgnjevio i satro nas da ni Ostatka ni ikoga spašena više ne bi bilo? ¹⁵ Jahve, Bože Izraelov, po pravednosti tvojoj mi ostadosmo Ostatak, kao što smo danas: evo nas pred tobom s grijehom svojim! Zaista ne bismo zbog njega smjeli stajati pred tobom!"

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A když se to vykonalo, přistoupili ke mně knížata, řkouce: Neoddělil se lid Izraelský, ani kněží a Levítové od národů zemí, ale činí podlé ohavností Kananejských, Hetejských, Ferezejských, Jebuzejských, Ammonitských, Moábských, Egyptských a Amorejských. ² Nebo nabrali sobě a synům svým dcer jejich, a smísili se símě svaté s národy zemí, a knížata a vrchnost první byla v tom přestoupení. ³ Kteroužto věc když jsem uslyšel, roztrhl jsem roucho své i plášť, a trhal jsem vlasy s hlavy své i z brady, a seděl jsem zděšený. ⁴ I shromáždili se ke mně všickni, třesoucí se před řečmi Boha Izraelského pro přestoupení lidu přestěhovaného, já pak seděl jsem zděšený, až do oběti večerní. ⁵ Ale v čas oběti večerní vstal jsem od trápení svého, maje na sobě roucho roztržené i plášť svůj, a klekl jsem na kolena svá, rozprostíraje ruce své k Hospodinu Bohu svému. ⁶ A řekl jsem: Bože můj, stydím se a hanbím pozdvihnouti, Bože můj, tváři své k tobě; nebo nepravosti naše rozmnožily se nad hlavou, a provinění naše vzrostlo až k nebi. ⁷ Ode dnů otců našich u veliké jsme vině až do tohoto dne, a pro nepravosti naše vydáni jsme my, králové naši i kněží naši v ruku králů zemí pod meč, v zajetí a v loupež, a v zahanbení tváři, tak jakž se to nyní děje. ⁸ Teď pak rychle stala se nám milost od Hospodina Boha našeho, že zanechal nám ostatků, a dal nám obydlí na místě svatém, aby osvítil oči naše Bůh náš, a dal nám maličké povydchnutí od služby naší. ⁹ Nebo ač jsme byli služebníci, však nenechal nás Bůh náš v porobě naší, ale naklonil k nám milostí krále Perské, dav nám život, abychom vyzdvihli dům Boha našeho, a zase obnovili pustiny jeho, nýbrž ohradil nás v Judstvu a v Jeruzalémě. ¹⁰ Nyní tedy což díme, ó Bože náš, po těch věcech, poněvadž jsme opustili přikázaní tvá, ¹¹ Kteráž jsi vydal skrze služebníky své proroky, řka: Země ta, do kteréž jdete, abyste jí dědičně vládli, jest země nečistá, pro nečistotu národů těch zemí, pro ohavnosti jejich, kterýmiž ji naplnili všudy naskrze v nečistotě své. ¹² Protož nyní dcer vašich nedávejte synům jejich, a dcer jejich nebeřte synům vašim, a nehledejte pokoje jejich a dobrého jejich, až na věky, abyste se zmocnili, a jedli dobré věci země, a k dědičnému vládařství zanechali ji synům svým až na věky. ¹³ Po všech pak těch věcech, kteréž na nás přišly pro zlé skutky naše, a pro veliké naše provinění, poněvadž ty, Bože náš, netrestal jsi nás podlé nepravostí našich, a dal jsi nám vysvobození takové, ¹⁴ Opět-liž bychom rušiti měli tvá přikázaní, a přízniti se s národy těmito ohavnými? Zdaliž bys se zůřivě nehněval na nás, až bys nás do konce vyhladil, tak že by žádný nezůstal a neušel? ¹⁵ Hospodine Bože Izraelský, ty jsi spravedlivý; nebo jsme pozůstali ostatkové, jakž se to vidí dnešního dne. Aj, my jsme před tebou s proviněním svým, ač bychom neměli postavovati se před tváří tvou pro věci takové.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Og der dette var fuldendt, gik de Øverste frem til mig og sagde: Israels Folk og Præsterne og Leviterne have ikke holdt sig adskilte fra Folkene i Landene, som de burde efter de Vederstyggeligheder, som begaas af Kananiterne, Hethiterne, Feresiterne, Jebusiterne, Ammoniterne, Moabiterne, Ægypterne og Amoriterne; ² thi de have taget af deres Døtre for sig og for deres Sønner, og den hellige Sæd har blandet sig med Folkene i Landene; og de Øverstes og Forstandernes Haand har været den første i denne Forsyndelse. ³ Og der jeg hørte dette Ord, sønderrev jeg min Kjortel og min Kappe, og jeg rev Haar af mit Hoved og mit Skæg og sad forfærdet. ⁴ Da samledes til mig hver, der skælvede for Israels Guds Ord over deres Forsyndelses Skyld, som havde været bortførte, og jeg sad forfærdet indtil Aftenmadoffers Tid. ⁵ Og ved Aftenmadoffers Tid stod jeg op fra min Faste, efterat jeg havde sønderrevet min Kjortel og min Kappe, og jeg faldt paa mine Knæ og udbredte mine Hænder til HERREN min Gud, ⁶ og jeg sagde: Min Gud! jeg blues og skammer mig ved at opløfte mit Ansigt til dig, min Gud; thi vore Misgerninger ere mangfoldige og gaa os over Hovedet, og vor Skyld er stor indtil Himmelen. ⁷ Fra vóre Fædres Dage af have vi været i stor Skyld indtil denne Dag, og for vore Misgerningers Skyld ere vi, ja vi, vore Konger, vore Præster, givne i Kongernes Haand i Landene, givne hen til Sværd, til Fangenskab og til Rov og til vore Ansigters Blusel, som det ses paa denne Dag. ⁸ Men nu er et lidet Øjeblik sket os Naade af HERREN vor Gud, at han ladet os nogle undkomne blive tilovers og sat os som en Nagle paa sit hellige Sted, saa at vor Gud har opklaret vore Øjne og givet os et lidet Livsophold i vor Trældom; ⁹ thi vi ere Tr ælle; dog vor Gud har ikke forladt os i vor Trældom; og han har tilvendt os Miskundhed hos Kongerne i Persien for at give os Livsophold, at vi kunde opføre vor Guds Hus og oprejse dets øde Steder, og for at give os et Gærde i Juda og Jerusalem. ¹⁰ Og nu, vor Gud, hvad skulle vi sige herefter? da vi have forladt dine Bud, ¹¹ hvilke du har budet ved dine Tjenere, Profeterne, sigende: Det Land, som I komme ind udi at eje, det er et Land, som er urent ved Landenes Folks Urenhed og ved deres Vederstyggelighed, hvormed de i deres Urenhed have opfyldt det, fra den ene Ende til den anden. ¹² Saa skulle I nu ikke give eders Døtre til deres Sønner og ikke tage deres Døtre til eders Sønner og ikke søge deres Fred og deres gode indtil evig Tid, paa det I skulle blive stærke og æde det gode i Landet og indtage det til Ejendom for eders Børn indtil evig Tid. ¹³ Og efter alt det, som er kommet over os for vore onde Gerninger og for vor store Skyld, da du, vor Gud, har sparet os langt over vor Misgerning og givet os en Redning, som denne er: ¹⁴ Skulde vi da vende om og gøre dine Bud til intet og gøre Svogerskab med Folk, som have gjort disse Vederstyggeligheder monne du ikke skulde blive vred paa os, indtil at der gjordes Ende paa os, saa at der ingen blev tilovers og ingen Redning ¹⁵ HERRE, Israels Gud! du er retfærdig, thi vi ere overblevne som en Levning, som det ses paa denne Dag; se, vi ere for dit Ansigt i vor Skyld, thi ved sligt kan ingen bestaa for dit Ansigt.

Esperanto⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Kiam cxio tio estis finita, aliris al mi la estroj, kaj diris:La popolo Izraela kaj la pastroj kaj la Levidoj ne apartigis sin de la popoloj de la landoj koncerne iliajn abomenindajxojn, de la Kanaanidoj, HXetidoj, Perizidoj, Jebusidoj, Amonidoj, Moabidoj, Egiptoj, kaj Amoridoj; ² cxar ili prenis el iliaj filinoj edzinojn por si kaj por siaj filoj, kaj miksigxis la sankta semo kun la popoloj de la landoj; kaj la mano de la eminentuloj kaj cxefoj estis la unua en cxi tiu malbonago. ³ Kiam mi auxdis tion, mi dissxiris miajn vestojn kaj mian tunikon, mi elsxiris harojn de mia kapo kaj el mia barbo, kaj mi sidis konsternite. ⁴ Kaj kolektigxis al mi cxiuj, kiuj timis la vortojn de Dio de Izrael, pro la krimo de la forkaptitoj; kaj mi sidis konsternite gxis la vesperofero. ⁵ Kaj cxe la vesperofero mi levigxis de mia aflikto, kaj kun dissxiritaj vestoj kaj tuniko mi starigxis surgenue kaj etendis miajn manojn al la Eternulo, mia Dio, ⁶ kaj mi diris:Ho mia Dio, mi hontas, kaj gxenas min levi mian vizagxon al Vi, ho mia Dio; cxar niaj malbonagoj kreskis pli alten ol nia kapo, kaj nia kulpo farigxis granda gxis la cxielo. ⁷ De post la tempo de niaj patroj ni estas en granda kulpo gxis la nuna tago; pro niaj malbonagoj ni estis transdonitaj, ni kaj niaj regxoj kaj niaj pastroj, en la manojn de la alilandaj regxoj, sub glavon, en kaptitecon, al disrabo kaj malhonoro, kiel tio estas nun. ⁸ Kaj nun antaux momento venis pardono de la Eternulo, nia Dio, kaj Li restigis al ni savigxintojn kaj permesis al ni alfortikigxi sur Lia sankta loko; nia Dio donis lumon al niaj okuloj, kaj Li permesis al ni iom revivigxi en nia sklaveco. ⁹ Ni estas ja sklavoj; sed en nia sklaveco nia Dio nin ne forlasis. Kaj Li donis al ni favorkorecon de la regxoj de Persujo, por permesi al ni revivigxi, por konstrui la domon de nia Dio kaj restarigi gxiajn ruinojn, kaj por doni al ni barilon en Judujo kaj Jerusalem. ¹⁰ Kaj nun kion ni diros, ho nia Dio, post tio? cxar ni forlasis Viajn ordonojn, ¹¹ kiujn Vi ordonis per Viaj servantoj, la profetoj, dirante:La lando, en kiun vi venas por ekposedi gxin, estas lando malpura pro la malpureco de la popoloj alilandaj, pro iliaj abomenindajxoj, per kiuj ili plenigis gxin de rando al rando en sia malpureco; ¹² ne donu do viajn filinojn al iliaj filoj, kaj iliajn filinojn ne prenu por viaj filoj, neniam zorgu pri ilia paco kaj bonstato, por ke vi fortigxu kaj por ke vi nutru vin per la bonajxoj de la tero kaj por ke vi heredigu gxin por eterne al viaj filoj. ¹³ Kaj post cxio, kio trafis nin pro niaj malbonaj faroj kaj pro nia granda kulpo, kaj kiam nun Vi indulgis nin malgraux niaj malbonagoj kaj donis al ni tian savigxon, ¹⁴ cxu ni nun denove malobeu Viajn ordonojn, kaj boparencigxu kun la popoloj de tiuj abomenindajxoj? CXu Vi ne koleros kontraux ni gxis plena ekstermo sen restigo de ia restajxo kaj savitajxo? ¹⁵ Ho Eternulo, Dio de Izrael! Vi estas justa; cxar ni restis savigxintoj gxis la nuna tago. Jen ni estas antaux Vi en nia kulpo; ni ne povas teni nin antaux Vi pro tio.

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Kuin nämät kaikki olivat päätetyt, niin tulivat päämiehet minun tyköni ja sanoivat: Israelin kansa ja papit ja Leviläiset ei ole erinneet maan kansain, Kanaanealaisten, Hetiläisten, Pheresiläisten, Jebusilaisten, Ammonilaisten, Moabilaisten, Egyptiläisten ja Amorilaisten kauhistuksesta. ² Sillä he ovat ottaneet heidän tyttäriänsä itsellensä ja pojillensa ja ovat sekoittaneet pyhän siemenen maan kansain kanssa; ja heidän päämiehensä ja esivaltansa ovat kaikkein ensimäiset siinä pahassa teossa. ³ Kuin minä sen kuulin, repäisin minä vaatteeni ja hameeni, ja repelin hiuksiani päästäni ja partaani ja istuin hämmästyksissä. ⁴ Ja kaikki, jotka pelkäsivät Herran Israelin Jumalan sanaa, tulivat kokoon minun tyköni, jälleen tulleiden synnin tähden; ja minä istuin hämmästyksissä hamaan ehtoouhriin asti. ⁵ Ja ehtoouhrin aikana nousin minä surkeudestani; ja kuin minä repäisin vaatteeni ja hameeni, lankesin minä polvilleni ja hajoitin käteni Herran minun Jumalani tykö, ⁶ Ja sanoin: minun Jumalani! minä häpeen ja en kehtaa silmiäni nostaa sinun tykös, minun Jumalani; sillä meidän syntimme ovat enentyneet päämme ylitse ja meidän pahat tekomme ovat kasvaneet hamaan taivaaseen asti. ⁷ Hamasta isäimme ajasta niin tähän päivään saakka olemme me olleet suurissa synneissä; ja meidän pahain töidemme tähden olemme me ja meidän kuninkaamme ja pappimme annetut maan kuningasten käsiin, ja miekkaan, ja vankeuteen ja ryöstöksi, ja meidän kasvomme häpiään, niinkuin tänäkin päivänä. ⁸ Mutta nyt vähällä ajan rahdulla on meille armo tapahtunut Herralta meidän Jumalaltamme, että vielä on muutamia meistä jäljellä ja päässeitä, että hän antoi vielä vaarnan meille pyhään siaansa, että meidän Jumalamme valistais silmämme ja antais meille vähän virvoituksen orjuudessamme. ⁹ Sillä me olemme orjat; ja orjuudessamme ei hyljännyt meitä meidän Jumalamme; ja hän on kääntänyt laupiuden meidän tykömme Persian kuningasten edessä, että he antoivat meidän elää, ja korottaa meidän Jumalamme huoneen, ja korjata jaonneet paikat, ja antoi meille aidan Juudassa ja Jerusalemissa. ¹⁰ Mitä me siis sanomme, meidän Jumalamme, tästälähin? että me olemme hyljänneet sinun käskys, ¹¹ Joita sinä olet käskenyt palveliais prohetain kautta, sanoen: maa, johon te menette omistamaan sitä, on saastainen maa, maan kansain saastaisuuden tähden, niiden kauhistusten tähden, joilla he ovat sen täyttäneet saastaisuudellansa, sekä siellä että täällä. ¹² Niin ei teidän pidä nyt antaman tyttäriänne heidän pojillensa, ja ei teidän pidä ottaman heidän tyttäriänsä pojillenne; älkäät myös etsikö heidän rauhaansa ja hyväänsä ijankaikkisesti, että vahvistuisitte, ja söisitte maan hyvyyttä, ja saisitte antaa sen teidän lapsillenne ijankaikkiseksi perimiseksi. ¹³ Ja niiden kaikkein jälkeen mitkä meidän päällemme tulleet ovat, pahain tekoimme tähden ja suurten synteimme tähden, niin olet sinä meidän Jumalamme säästänyt meidän pahoja töitämme ja antanut meille vapahduksen, niinkuin nyt on. ¹⁴ Pitäiskö meidän taas sinun käskys käymän ylitse ja tekemän lankoutta tämän ilkiän kansan kanssa? Etkös mahda vihastua meidän päällemme, siihenasti että peräti hukutat, ettei ketään jää, eikä ole pääsemystä? ¹⁵ Herra Israelin Jumala! sinä olet vanhurskas. Sillä me olemme jääneet vapahdettaa, niinkuin se tänäpänä on. Katso, me olemme sinun edessäs synneissämme; sentähden ei kenkään voi edessäs pysyä.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Kun tämä oli suoritettu loppuun, astuivat päämiehet minun tyköni ja sanoivat: "Ei kansa, ei Israel eivätkä papit ja leeviläiset ole eristäytyneet maan kansoista ja niiden kauhistavista teoista-ei kanaanilaisista, heettiläisistä, perissiläisistä, jebusilaisista, ammonilaisista, mooabilaisista, egyptiläisistä eikä amorilaisista. ² Sillä näiden tyttäriä he ovat ottaneet itsellensä ja pojillensa vaimoiksi, ja niin on pyhä siemen sekaantunut maan kansoihin. Ja päämiesten ja esimiesten käsi on ollut ensimmäisenä tässä uskottomassa menossa." ³ Kun minä tämän kuulin, repäisin minä vaatteeni ja viittani, revin pääni hiuksia ja partaani ja istuin tyrmistyneenä. ⁴ Ja minun luokseni kokoontuivat kaikki, jotka pelkäsivät sitä, mitä Israelin Jumala oli puhunut pakkosiirtolaisten uskottomuudesta, ja minä jäin istumaan tyrmistyneenä ehtoouhriin asti. ⁵ Mutta ehtoouhrin aikana minä nousin nöyryyttämästä itseäni ja polvistuin, repäisin vaatteeni ja viittani ja ojensin käteni Herran, Jumalani, puoleen, ⁶ ja minä sanoin: "Jumalani, minä olen häpeissäni enkä kehtaa kohottaa kasvojani sinun puoleesi, minun Jumalani; sillä meidän rikkomuksemme ovat nousseet päämme ylitse ja meidän syyllisyytemme on kohonnut taivaaseen asti. ⁷ Isiemme päivistä aina tähän päivään asti on meidän syyllisyytemme ollut suuri; ja rikkomustemme tähden on meidät, meidän kuninkaamme ja pappimme annettu maan kuningasten käsiin miekan, vankeuden, ryöstön ja häpeän alaisiksi, niinkuin tähän päivään saakka on tapahtunut. ⁸ Mutta nyt on meille hetkiseksi tullut armo Herralta, meidän Jumalaltamme, koska hän on sallinut pelastuneen joukon meistä jäädä jäljelle ja antanut meille jalansijan pyhässä paikassansa, että hän, meidän Jumalamme, valaisisi meidän silmämme ja soisi meidän hiukan hengähtää orjuudessamme. ⁹ Sillä orjia me olemme; mutta orjuudessamme ei meidän Jumalamme ole meitä hyljännyt, vaan on suonut meidän saavuttaa Persian kuningasten suosion ja hengähtää, pystyttääksemme Jumalamme temppelin ja kohottaaksemme sen raunioistaan, ja on antanut meille suojatun paikan Juudassa ja Jerusalemissa. ¹⁰ Ja nyt, Jumalamme, mitä me sanomme kaiken tämän jälkeen? Mehän olemme hyljänneet sinun käskysi, ¹¹ jotka sinä olet antanut palvelijaisi, profeettain, kautta, sanoen: 'Maa, jota te menette ottamaan omaksenne, se maa on saastainen maan kansojen saastaisuuden tähden ja niitten kauhistavien tekojen tähden, joilla he saastaisuudessansa ovat täyttäneet sen äärestä ääreen. ¹² Älkää siis antako tyttäriänne heidän pojillensa älkääkä ottako heidän tyttäriänsä pojillenne vaimoiksi. Älkää myös koskaan harrastako heidän menestystään ja onneansa, että te vahvistuisitte ja saisitte syödä parasta, mitä maassa on, ja jättäisitte sen perinnöksi lapsillenne ikuisiksi ajoiksi.' ¹³ Kaiken sen jälkeen, mikä on meitä kohdannut pahojen tekojemme ja suuren syyllisyytemme tähden-ja kuitenkin sinä, Jumalamme, olet jättänyt huomioon ottamatta meidän rikkomuksiamme ja olet sallinut meistä tämmöisen joukon pelastua- ¹⁴ kävisimmekö me nyt jälleen rikkomaan sinun käskyjäsi ja lankoutumaan kansojen kanssa, joiden teot ovat kauhistavaiset? Etkö sinä silloin vihastuisi meihin siihen asti, että tekisit meistä lopun, niin ettei ketään jäisi jäljelle eikä kukaan pelastuisi? ¹⁵ Herra, Israelin Jumala, sinä olet vanhurskas, sillä meistä on jäljellä pelastuneita vain sen verran, kuin tänä päivänä on. Katso, me olemme sinun edessäsi syyllisyydessämme; emmekä me tämän tähden voi sinun edessäsi kestää."

Haitian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Lè tout bagay sa yo fin regle, chèf pèp Izrayèl yo vin jwenn mwen, yo di m' konsa: -Pèp la, ansanm ak prèt yo ak moun Levi yo fin melanje nèt ak moun lòt nasyon ki nan peyi a: moun Kanaran yo, moun Et yo, moun Ferezi yo, moun Jebis yo, moun Amon yo, moun Moab yo, moun Lejip yo ak moun Amori yo. Yo lage kò yo nan fè menm vye bagay ak moun sa yo. ² Yo marye ak fanm pèp sa yo, yo marye pitit gason yo ak pitit fi pèp sa yo. Se konsa, ras Bondye chwazi pou li a twouve l' melanje ak ras moun peyi a. Premye moun ki lage kò yo nan move zak sa yo se chèf yo ak konseye yo. ³ Lè m' tande sa, mwen vin gen yon sèl lapenn, mwen chire rad sou mwen, mwen rache cheve nan tèt mwen ak plim bab mwen. ⁴ M' al koupi kò m' yon kote sitèlman sa te fè m' lapenn. Anpil moun te pè lè yo vin konnen sa Seyè a te di sou koze peche moun yo te depòte epi ki te tounen nan peyi a te fè a. Yo tout vin sanble bò kote m'. Mwen menm menm, mwen te rete chita koupi atè a, jouk lè pou yo fè ofrann chak aswè a rive, tèlman sa te fè m' mal. ⁵ Lè lè a rive pou yo fè ofrann chak aswè a, mwen leve kote m' te koupi ap kriye a, epi ak tout rad chire yo sou mwen, mwen tonbe ajenou, mwen louvri de bra m' devan Seyè a, Bondye mwen an. ⁶ Mwen di l' konsa: -O Bondye papa m'! Mwen twò wont, mwen pa konn sa pou m' fè! M' pa ka leve tèt mwen devan ou, Bondye mwen! Nou tèlman fè sa ki mal, yo fè pil moute pi wo pase tèt nou. Peche nou yo anpile yonn sou lòt, yo rive jouk nan syèl la. ⁷ Depi nan tan zansèt nou yo jouk jounen jòdi a, nou pa manke fè sa ki mal. Se poutèt tou sa nou te fè ki mal kifè ou te lage nou ansanm ak wa nou yo ak prèt nou yo nan men wa lòt peyi yo. Yo touye nou nan lagè, yo depòte nou, yo piye tout ajan nou, yo fè nou wont jan nou ye jouk koulye a. ⁸ Men koulye a, depi kèk jou, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te fè nou yon favè. Li sove de twa nan nou, li ban nou yon kote pou nou jwenn pwoteksyon nan kay ki apa pou li a. Se konsa li ban nou kouraj ankò, li wete nou nan kalite esklavaj kote nou te ye a, li ban nou yon ti souf. ⁹ Paske se esklav nou ye jouk jòdi a. Men menm nan esklavaj sa a, Bondye pa lage nou. Li fè wa peyi Pès yo aji byen ak nou. Yo ban nou yon ti souf, pou nou te ka rebati tanp Bondye nou an ki te fin kraze nèt. Yo ban nou yon kote pou nou jwenn pwoteksyon nan peyi Jida ak lavil Jerizalèm. ¹⁰ Koulye a menm, Bondye, kisa pou nou di ou? Menm apre tou sa ou deja fè pou nou, nou dezobeyi tout kòmandman ¹¹ ou te ban nou pou nou swiv, lè pwofèt yo, sèvitè ou yo, te di nou nan non ou: Peyi kote nou pral antre a, peyi nou pral pran pou nou rete a, se yon peyi ki pèdi favè Bondye, paske moun k'ap viv ladan l' yo ap fè yon bann bagay degoutan, vye bagay sal toupatou ladan l'. ¹² Enben! Piga nou marye pitit fi nou yo ak pitit gason yo, ni piga nou chwazi pitit fi yo pou pitit gason nou yo. Nou pa bezwen chache konnen si zafè yo ap mache, si yo gen kè kontan. Se sèl jan nou menm nou ka vin fò, nou ka manje tout bon bagay ki donnen nan peyi a, nou ka kite tè sa a pou pitit nou yo pou tout tan. ¹³ Apre tou sa ki te rive nou, yon jan pou ou te pini nou pou move zak ak tout bagay mal nou te fè yo, nou wè, O Bondye nou, ou pa t' pini nou jan nou te merite l' la. Ou te kite yon ti rès nan nou ap viv toujou, nou menm ki la koulye a. ¹⁴ Epi pou koulye a ankò pou nou pa swiv kòmandman ou yo, pou n' al marye avèk kalite move moun sa yo? Fwa sa a, p'ap gen anyen ki pou anpeche ou fache sou nou jouk pou ou detwi nou nèt, san ou pa kite pesonn chape! ¹⁵ Seyè, ou menm ki Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, se paske ou bon anpil pou nou kifè gen yon ti ponyen nan nou ki rete toujou, jan sa ye jòdi a. Epi, gade koulye a, men nou kanpe devan ou avèk tout peche nou yo! Wi, nou pa gen dwa rete vivan devan ou ankò poutèt sa!

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Minekutána ezek elvégezõdének, jövének hozzám a fõemberek, mondván: Izráel népe és a papok és a Léviták nem különíték el magokat e tartományok népeitõl, a miképen pedig azoknak, a Kananeusoknak, Hitteusoknak, Perizeusoknak, Jebuzeusoknak, Ammonitáknak, Moábitáknak, Égyiptomiaknak és Emoreusoknak útálatos [vétke] szerint [el kellett volna,] ² Mert [ezek] leányai közül vettek vala [feleséget] magoknak és fiaiknak, és megelegyedett a szent mag e tartományok népeivel; és pedig a fejedelmek és fõemberek valának elsõk e bûnben. ³ Mihelyt e dolgot meghallottam, megszaggatám alsó- és felsõ ruhámat, s téptem fejem hajszálait és szakállamat, és veszteg ültem. ⁴ És hozzám gyûlének mindnyájan, a kik reszketve [gondoltak] Izráel Istenének beszédeire azoknak vétke miatt, a kik a fogságból megjöttek vala; és én veszteg ülök vala mind az estvéli áldozatig. ⁵ Az estvéli áldozatkor pedig felkeltem sanyargatásomból, megszaggatván alsó- és felsõ ruhámat; és térdeimre esvén, kiterjesztém kezeimet az Úrhoz, az én Istenemhez. ⁶ És mondék: Én Istenem, szégyenlem és átallom felemelni, én Istenem, az én orczámat te hozzád, mert a mi álnokságaink felülhaladtak fejünk fölött és a mi vétkeink mind az égig nevekedtek! ⁷ A mi atyáink napjaitól fogva nagy vétekben vagyunk mi mind e mai napig, és a mi álnokságainkért adattunk vala mi, a mi királyaink és a mi papjaink a földi királyok kezébe, fegyver által rabságra és ragadományra és orczapirulásra, a mint [ez ]a mai nap [is van.] ⁸ És most nem sok ideje, hogy az Úr, a mi Istenünk rajtunk könyörült, hogy hagyjon minékünk maradékot, és hogy adjon nékünk egy szeget az õ szent helyén, hogy így megvilágosítsa szemeinket a mi Istenünk, s hogy megelevenítsen bennünket egy kissé a mi szolgaságunkban. ⁹ Mert szolgák vagyunk mi, de szolgaságunkban nem hagyott el minket a mi Istenünk, hanem hozzánk fordítá irgalmasságát Persiának királyai elõtt, hogy megelevenítene bennünket, hogy felemelhessük a mi Istenünk házát s megépíthessük annak romjait, és hogy adjon nékünk bátorságos lakást Júdában és Jeruzsálemben. ¹⁰ És most mit mondjunk, óh mi Istenünk, [mindezek] után? [Azt, ]hogy mi [mégis] elhagytuk parancsolataidat, ¹¹ A melyeket parancsoltál szolgáid, a próféták által, mondván: A föld, melyre bementek, hogy bírjátok azt, tisztátalan föld, a tartományok népeinek tisztátalansága miatt, útálatosságaik miatt, melyekkel betölték azt egyik végétõl a másikig tisztátalanságukban; ¹² Annakokáért leányaitokat ne adjátok az õ fiaiknak és az õ leányaikat ne vegyétek fiaitoknak, és ne keressétek barátságukat, sem javokat soha, hogy megerõsödjetek és éljetek e föld javaival, és örökségképen adhassátok azt fiaitoknak mindörökké. ¹³ Mindazok után pedig, a mik reánk jövének gonosz cselekedeteinkért és nagy vétkünkért, hiszen te, mi Istenünk, jobban kedveztél nékünk, sem mint bûneink miatt érdemeltünk volna, s adád nékünk e maradékot, ¹⁴ Hát megrontjuk-é ismét parancsolataidat s összeházasodunk-é ez útálatos népekkel? Nem fogsz-é haragudni reánk mindaddig, míg megemésztetünk, hogy sem maradékunk, sem hírmondónk ne legyen? ¹⁵ Oh Uram, Izráel Istene! igaz vagy te, mert meghagytál minket, maradék gyanánt, mint e mai nap [bizonyítja.] Ímé elõtted vagyunk vétkünkben, és nem állhatunk meg elõtted e miatt!

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Setelah semua itu dilaksanakan, beberapa pemuka bangsa Israel datang kepadaku. Mereka memberitahukan bahwa rakyat Israel, termasuk para imam, dan orang-orang Lewi tidak memisahkan diri dari bangsa-bangsa yang tinggal di sekitar situ, yaitu bangsa Amon, Moab, Mesir, Kanaan, Het, Feris, Yebus dan Amori. Bahkan para imam dan orang-orang Lewi pun berbuat begitu. Mereka semua melakukan perbuatan-perbuatan keji yang dilakukan oleh bangsa-bangsa itu. ² Orang laki-laki Yahudi kawin dengan wanita bangsa asing, sehingga umat khusus milik TUHAN tidak murni lagi. Malahan yang paling dahulu melakukan itu adalah para pemuka dan pejabat Israel. ³ Mendengar hal itu, aku merasa sangat kesal sehingga merobek pakaianku dan mencabuti rambut serta jenggotku, lalu duduk dengan hati yang hancur luluh. ⁴ Aku terus saja duduk begitu sampai waktu persembahan kurban sore. Kemudian datanglah orang-orang mengelilingi aku. Mereka ketakutan mengingat ancaman Allah Israel terhadap dosa orang-orang yang telah kembali dari pembuangan itu. ⁵ Ketika kurban sore mulai dipersembahkan, bangkitlah aku dari tempat aku bersedih itu dan dengan pakaian yang robek, aku sujud dan mengulurkan tanganku kepada TUHAN Allahku. ⁶ Aku berkata, "Ya Allahku, aku ini malu untuk mengangkat kepalaku di hadapan-Mu. Dosa kami bertumpuk-tumpuk di atas kepala kami sampai menyentuh langit. ⁷ Sejak zaman leluhur kami sampai sekarang, kami umat-Mu berdosa kepada-Mu. Itu sebabnya kami, para raja serta para imam kami telah dikalahkan oleh raja-raja asing. Kami dibunuh, dirampok dan diangkut sebagai tawanan. Kami telah dihina habis-habisan, seperti keadaannya pada hari ini. ⁸ Tetapi sekarang, ya TUHAN Allah kami, Engkau baru saja bermurah hati kepada kami. Engkau membebaskan beberapa orang di antara kami dari perbudakan untuk hidup dengan sejahtera di tempat yang khusus ini. Engkau memberikan kepada kami hidup baru. ⁹ Pada waktu kami masih dalam perbudakan, Engkau tidak meninggalkan kami. Engkau membuat kami disayangi oleh raja-raja Persia dan diizinkan hidup serta membangun kembali Rumah-Mu yang tinggal puing-puing itu. Engkau memberi kami perlindungan di sini, di Yehuda dan Yerusalem. ¹⁰ Tetapi sekarang, ya TUHAN Allah, sesudah segala kejadian itu, apa yang dapat kami katakan? Kami telah mengabaikan perintah-perintah-Mu lagi, ¹¹ yang Kauberikan kepada kami melalui para nabi, hamba-hamba-Mu. Mereka memberitahu kepada kami bahwa tanah yang hendak kami diami itu tidak bersih karena seluruh penduduknya dari ujung ke ujung berbuat kotor dan keji. ¹² Nabi-nabi itu melarang kami kawin campur dengan orang-orang itu, ataupun membantu mereka menjadi makmur dan sejahtera. Jika kami taat, kami akan menjadi kuat dan menikmati hasil tanah itu dan mewariskannya kepada keturunan kami sampai selama-lamanya. ¹³ Kami sudah berdosa dan melanggar hukum-Mu, dan Engkau sudah menghukum kami. Tapi kami tahu, ya Allah kami, bahwa hukuman yang Kauberikan itu tidak seberat yang patut kami terima, malahan kami masih Kauselamatkan. ¹⁴ Jadi, bagaimana mungkin kami mengabaikan perintah-perintah-Mu lagi dan kawin campur dengan orang-orang yang jahat itu? Kalau kami melakukannya, pastilah Engkau akan begitu marah sehingga menghancurkan kami sama sekali dan tidak membiarkan seorang pun hidup. ¹⁵ TUHAN, Allah Israel Engkau adil, meskipun begitu Engkau membiarkan kami hidup.

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ORA, quando queste cose furono finite, i principali del popolo si accostarono a me, dicendo: Il popolo d’Israele, ed i sacerdoti, ed i Leviti, non si son separati da’ popoli di questi paesi, da’ Cananei, dagli Hittei, da’ Ferizzei, da’ Gebusei, dagli Ammoniti, da’ Moabiti, dagli Egizi, e dagli Amorrei, secondo che si conveniva fare, per le loro abbominazioni. ² Perciocchè hanno prese delle lor figliuole per sè, e per li lor figliuoli; laonde la santa progenie si è mescolata co’ popoli di questi paesi; e i principali del popolo, e i rettori, sono stati i primi a commetter questo misfatto. ³ E quando io ebbi intesa questa cosa, io stracciai la mia vesta, e il mio mantello, e mi strappai i capelli del capo e della barba, e mi posi a sedere tutto sconsolato. ⁴ Allora tutti quelli che tremavano alle parole dell’Iddio d’Israele si adunarono appresso di me, per lo misfatto di coloro ch’erano stati in cattività; ed io me ne stetti così a sedere tutto sconsolato, infino al tempo dell’offerta della sera. ⁵ Ed al tempo dell’offerta della sera, io mi levai dalla mia afflizione; ed avendo la mia vesta e il mio mantello stracciato, io m’inginocchiai, e spiegai le palme delle mie mani al Signore Iddio mio, e dissi: ⁶ O Dio mio, io mi vergogno, e son confuso di alzare, o Dio mio, la faccia a te; perciocchè le nostre iniquità sono fin disopra al nostro capo, e le nostre colpe son così grandi che arrivano fino al cielo. ⁷ Dal tempo de’ nostri padri infino ad oggi, noi siamo in gran colpa; e per le nostre iniquità, noi, i nostri re, i nostri sacerdoti, siamo stati dati nelle mani dei re de’ paesi, per esser messi a fil di spada, menati in cattività, predati, e svergognati, come appare al dì d’oggi. ⁸ E pure ora, di subito quasi in un momento, ci è stata fatta grazie dall’Iddio nostro, per far che ci restasse alcun rimanente, e per darci un chiodo nel suo santo luogo; acciocchè l’Iddio nostro ci rischiarasse gli occhi, e ci desse un poco di ristoro nella nostra servitù. ⁹ Conciossiachè noi siamo servi; ma l’Iddio nostro non ci ha abbandonati nella nostra servitù; anzi ha fatto che abbiam trovata benignità appo i re di Persia, per darci qualche ristoro, affin di rimettere in piè la Casa dell’Iddio nostro, e ristorar le sue ruine, e darci un chiuso in Giuda ed in Gerusalemme. ¹⁰ Ma ora, o Dio nostro, che diremo noi dopo queste cose? conciossiachè noi abbiamo lasciati i tuoi comandamenti, ¹¹ i quali tu desti per mano de’ tuoi servitori profeti, dicendo: Il paese, nel quale voi entrate per possederlo, è un paese immondo per l’immondizia de’ popoli di que’ paese, nelle loro abbominazioni, delle quali l’hanno riempiuto, da un capo all’altro, con le lor contaminazioni. ¹² Ora dunque, non date le vostre figliuole a’ lor figliuoli; e non prendete le lor figliuole per li vostri figliuoli; e non procacciate giammai in perpetuo nè la pace, nè il ben loro; acciocchè siate fortificati, e mangiate i beni del paese, e lasciate quello per eredità a’ vostri figliuoli in perpetuo. ¹³ Ora, dopo tutte le cose che ci son sopraggiunte per le nostre opere malvage, e per le nostre gran colpe benchè, o Dio nostro, tu ti sii rattenuto disotto della nostra iniquità, e ci abbi dato un tal rimanente, quale è questo, ¹⁴ torneremmo noi a rompere i tuoi comandamenti, e ad imparentarci co’ popoli dati a queste abbominazioni? non ti adireresti tu contro a noi fino all’estremo, talchè non vi sarebbe più nè rimanente, nè scampo alcuno? ¹⁵ Signore Iddio d’Israele, tu sei giusto; conciossiachè noi siamo rimasti alcun residuo, come si vede al dì d’oggi; eccoci davanti a te con la nostra colpa; perciocchè altrimenti sarebbe impossibile di durare davanti alla tua faccia per questo.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Or quando queste cose furon finite, i capi s’accostarono a me, dicendo: "Il popolo d’Israele, i sacerdoti e i Leviti non si son separati dai popoli di questi paesi, ma si conformano alle abominazioni de’ Cananei, degli Hittei, de’ Ferezei, dei Gebusei, degli Ammoniti, dei Moabiti, degli Egiziani e degli Amorei. ² Poiché hanno preso delle loro figliuole per sé e per i propri figliuoli, e hanno mescolata la stirpe santa coi popoli di questi paesi; e i capi e i magistrati sono stati i primi a commettere questa infedeltà". ³ Quand’io ebbi udito questo, mi stracciai le vesti e il mantello, mi strappai i capelli della testa e della barba, e mi misi a sedere, costernato. ⁴ Allora tutti quelli che tremavano alle parole dell’Iddio d’Israele si radunarono presso di me a motivo della infedeltà di quelli ch’eran tornati dalla cattività; e io rimasi così seduto e costernato, fino al tempo dell’oblazione della sera. ⁵ E al momento dell’oblazione della sera, m’alzai dalla mia umiliazione, colle vesti e col mantello stracciati; caddi in ginocchi; stesi le mani verso l’Eterno, il mio Dio e dissi: ⁶ "O mio Dio, io son confuso; e mi vergogno, o mio Dio, d’alzare a te la mia faccia; poiché le nostre iniquità si son moltiplicate fino al disopra del nostro capo, e la nostra colpa è sì grande che arriva al cielo. ⁷ Dal tempo de’ nostri padri fino al dì d’oggi siamo stati grandemente colpevoli; e a motivo delle nostre iniquità, noi, i nostri re, i nostri sacerdoti, siamo stati dati in mano dei re dei paesi stranieri, in balìa della spada, dell’esilio, della rapina e dell’obbrobrio, come anch’oggi si vede. ⁸ Ed ora, per un breve istante, l’Eterno, il nostro Dio, ci ha fatto grazia, lasciandoci alcuni superstiti, e concedendoci un asilo nel suo santo luogo, affin d’illuminare gli occhi nostri, e di darci un po’ di respiro in mezzo al nostro servaggio. ⁹ Poiché noi siamo schiavi; ma il nostro Dio non ci ha abbandonati nel nostro servaggio; che anzi ha fatto sì che trovassimo benevolenza presso i re di Persia, i quali ci hanno dato tanto respiro da poter rimettere in piè la casa dell’Iddio nostro e restaurarne le rovine, e ci hanno concesso un ricovero in Giuda ed in Gerusalemme. ¹⁰ Ed ora, o nostro Dio, che direm noi dopo questo? Poiché noi abbiamo abbandonati i tuoi comandamenti, ¹¹ quelli che ci desti per mezzo de’ tuoi servi i profeti, dicendo: Il paese nel quale entrate per prenderne possesso, è un paese reso impuro dalla impurità dei popoli di questi paesi, dalle abominazioni con le quali l’hanno riempito da un capo all’altro con le loro contaminazioni. ¹² Or dunque non date le vostre figliuole ai loro figliuoli, e non prendete le loro figliuole per i vostri figliuoli, e non cercate mai la loro prosperità né il loro benessere, e così diventerete forti, mangerete i migliori prodotti del paese, e lo lascerete in retaggio perpetuo ai vostri figliuoli. ¹³ Ora, dopo tutto quello che ci è avvenuto a motivo delle nostre azioni malvage e delle nostre grandi colpe, giacché tu, o nostro Dio, ci hai puniti meno severamente di quanto le nostre iniquità avrebbero meritato, e hai conservato di noi un residuo come questo, ¹⁴ torneremmo noi di nuovo a violare i tuoi comandamenti e ad imparentarci coi popoli che commettono queste abominazioni? L’ira tua non s’infiammerebbe essa contro di noi sino a consumarci e a non lasciar più né residuo né superstite? ¹⁵ O Eterno, Dio d’Israele, tu sei giusto, e perciò noi siamo oggi ridotti ad un residuo di scampati. Ed eccoci dinanzi a te a riconoscere la nostra colpa; poiché per cagion d’essa, noi non potremmo sussistere nel tuo cospetto!"

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Po to prie manęs priėjo kunigaikščiai ir kalbėjo: “Izraelio tauta, kunigai ir levitai neatsiskyrė nuo šio krašto tautų: kanaaniečių, hetitų, perizų, jebusiečių, amonitų, moabitų, egiptiečių bei amoritų ir jų daromų bjaurysčių. ² Jie ir jų vaikai ima į žmonas jų dukteris. Tuo būdu šventa sėkla susimaišė su krašto tautomis. Kunigaikščiai ir vyresnieji buvo pirmieji šiame nusikaltime”. ³ Išgirdęs visa tai, perplėšiau savo drabužį ir apsiaustą, roviau galvos ir barzdos plaukus ir sėdėjau sukrėstas. ⁴ Tuomet susirinko prie manęs visi, kurie drebėjo prieš Izraelio Dievo žodžius dėl tremtinių neištikimybės. O aš sėdėjau sukrėstas iki vakarinės aukos. ⁵ Vakarinės aukos metu atsikėliau iš savo liūdesio vietos perplėštais rūbais, atsiklaupiau ir, iškėlęs rankas į Viešpatį, savo Dievą, ⁶ tariau: “Mano Dieve, man gėda pakelti akis į Tave, nes mūsų nusikaltimai peraugo mus, o mūsų kaltė siekia dangų. ⁷ Nuo savo tėvų laikų iki šios dienos mes labai nusikaltome; dėl mūsų nusikaltimų mes, mūsų karaliai ir kunigai buvome atiduoti į kitų kraštų karalių rankas ir jų kardui, buvome jų nelaisvėje apiplėšti ir išniekinti. ⁸ Dabar trumpam laikui Viešpats, mūsų Dievas, parodė savo malonę, palikdamas mums išgelbėtą likutį ir duodamas kuolelį savo šventoje vietoje; taip Dievas atvėrė mūsų akis ir leido mums truputį atsigauti mūsų vergystėje. ⁹ Mes esame vergai, tačiau mūsų Dievas neapleido mūsų vergystėje; Jis suteikė mums malonę persų karalių akyse, kad jie leistų mums atsigauti ir atstatyti savo Dievo namus iš griuvėsių ir duotų mums sieną Jude ir Jeruzalėje. ¹⁰ O dabar, mūsų Dieve, ką mes pasakysime dėl šito?

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A gdy się to odprawiło, przystąpili do mnie książęta, mówiąc: Nie odłączył się lud Izraelski, i kapłani, i Lewitowie od narodów tych ziem; ale czynią według obrzydliwości Chananejczyków, Hetejczyków, Ferezejczyków, Jebuzejczyków, Ammonitczyków, Moabczyków, Egipczyków, i Amorejczyków. ² Albowiem pojęli córki ich sobie i synom swym, a pomięszało się nasienie święte z narodami tych ziem, a ręka książąt i zwierzchności pierwsza była w tem przestępstwie. ³ Co gdym usłyszał, rozdarłem suknię moję i płaszcz mój, a rwałem włosy na głowie mojej, i na brodzie mojej, i siedziałem, zdumiawszy się. ⁴ I zgromadzili się do mnie wszyscy, którzy drżą przed słowem Boga Izraelskiego dla przestępstwa tych, którzy przyszli z niewoli, a jam siedział, zdumiawszy się, aż do ofiary wieczornej. ⁵ Ale pod czas ofiary wieczornej wstałem z utrapienia mego, mając rozdartą suknię moję i płaszcz mój, a poklęknąwszy na kolana swe, wyciągnąłem ręce swe ku Panu, Bogu memu, ⁶ I rzekłem: Boże mój! wstydci mię, i sromam się podnieść, Boże mój! oblicza mego do ciebie; albowiem nieprawości nasze rozmnożyły się nad głową, a grzechy nasze urosły aż ku niebu. ⁷ Ode dni ojców naszych byliśmy w wielkim grzechu aż do dnia tego, a przez nieprawości nasze wydaniśmy, królowie nasi i kapłani nasi, w ręce królów ziemskich pod miecz, w niewolę, i na łup, i na zawstydzenie twarzy naszej, jako się to dziś dzieje. ⁸ Ale teraz, jakoby w prędkiem okamgnieniu, stała się nam łaska od Pana, Boga naszego, że nam zostawił ostatki, i dał nam mieszkanie na miejscu świętem swojem, aby oświecił oczy nasze Bóg nasz, a dał nam trochę wytchnienia z niewoli naszej. ⁹ Bo chociaśmy byli niewolnikami, przecież w niewoli naszej nie opuścił nas Bóg nasz, ale skłonił ku nam miłosierdzie przed królmi Perskimi, dawszy nam wytchnienie, abyśmy wystawili dom Boga naszego, i naprawili spustoszenia jego; nawet dał nam ogrodzenie w Judztwie i w Jeruzalemie. ¹⁰ Przetoż cóż teraz rzeczemy, o Boże nasz! po tem? ponieważeśmy opuścili rozkazania twoje, ¹¹ Któreś ty przykazał przez sług twoich proroków, mówiąc: Ziemia, do której wnijdziecie, abyście ją posiedli, jest ziemia nieczysta przez nieczystotę ludu tych ziem, dla obrzydłości ich, któremi ją napełnili od końca do końca nieczystością swoją. ¹² A przetoż nie dawajcie córek waszych synom ich, ani bierzcie synom waszym córek ich, i nie szukajcie pokoju ich, i dobrego ich aż na wieki, abyście byli umocnieni, a pożywali dóbr tej ziemi, i podali ją w dziedzictwo synom waszym aż na wieki. ¹³ A po tem wszystkiem, co przyszło na nas dla spraw naszych złych i dla grzechu naszego wielkiego, ponieważeś ty, Boże nasz! zawściągnął karania, abyśmy nie byli potłumieni dla nieprawości naszej, aleś nam dał wybawienie takowe; ¹⁴ Izali się obrócimy ku zgwałceniu przykazań twoich, powinowacąc się z tymi narodami obrzydłymi? izalibyś się surowie nie gniewał na nas, abyś nas wyniszczył, aby nikt nie został i nie uszedł? ¹⁵ O Panie, Boże Izraelski! sprawiedliwyś ty; bośmy pozostałe ostatki, jako się to dziś pokazuje. Otośmy my przed obliczem twojem w przewinieniu naszeem, choć się nie godzi stawiać przed oblicze twoje dla tego.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ora, logo que essas coisas foram terminadas, vieram ter comigo os príncipes, dizendo: O povo de Israel, e os sacerdotes, e os levitas, não se têm separado dos povos destas terras, das abominações dos cananeus, dos heteus, dos perizeus, dos jebuseus, dos amonitas, dos moabitas, dos egípcios e dos amorreus; ² pois tomaram das suas filhas para si e para seus filhos; de maneira que a raça santa se tem misturado com os povos de outras terras; e até os oficiais e magistrados foram os primeiros nesta transgressão. ³ Ouvindo eu isto, rasguei a minha túnica e o meu manto, e arranquei os cabelos da minha cabeça e da minha barba, e me sentei atónito. ⁴ Então se ajuntaram a mim todos os que tremiam das palavras do Deus de Israel por causa da transgressão dos do cativeiro; porém eu permaneci sentado atónito até a oblação da tarde. ⁵ A hora da oblação da tarde levantei-me da minha humilhação, e com a túnica e o manto rasgados, pus-me de joelhos, estendi as mãos ao Senhor meu Deus, ⁶ e disse: Ó meu Deus! Estou confuso e envergonhado, para levantar o meu rosto a ti, meu Deus; porque as nossas iniquidades se multiplicaram sobre a nossa cabeça, e a nossa culpa tem crescido até o céu. ⁷ Desde os dias de nossos pais até o dia de hoje temos estado em grande culpa, e por causa das nossas iniquidades fomos entregues, nós, os nossos reis e os nossos sacerdotes, na mão dos reis das terras, à espada, ao cativeiro, à rapina e à confusão do rosto, como hoje se vê. ⁸ Agora, por um pequeno momento se manifestou a graça da parte do Senhor, nosso Deus, para nos deixar um restante que escape, e para nos dar estabilidade no seu santo lugar, a fim de que o nosso Deus nos alumie os olhos, e nos dê um pouco de refrigério em nossa escravidão; ⁹ pois somos escravos; contudo o nosso Deus não nos abandonou em nossa escravidão, mas estendeu sobre nós a sua benevolência perante os reis da Pérsia, para nos dar a vida, a fim de levantarmos a casa do nosso Deus e repararmos as suas assolações, e para nos dar um abrigo em Judá e em Jerusalém. ¹⁰ Agora, ó nosso Deus, que diremos depois disto? Pois temos deixado os teus mandamentos, ¹¹ os quais ordenaste por intermédio de teus servos, os profetas, dizendo: A terra em que estais entrando para a possuir, é uma terra imunda pelas imundícies dos povos das terras, pelas abominações com que, na sua corrupção, a encheram duma extremidade à outra. ¹² Por isso não deis vossas filhas a seus filhos, e não tomeis suas filhas para vossos filhos, nem procureis jamais a sua paz ou a sua prosperidade; para que sejais fortes e comais o bem da terra, e a deixeis por herança a vossos filhos para sempre. ¹³ E depois de tudo o que nos tem sucedido por causa das nossas más obras, e da nossa grande culpa, ainda assim tu, ó nosso Deus, nos tens castigado menos do que merecem as nossas iniquidades, e ainda nos deixaste este remanescente; ¹⁴ tornaremos, pois, agora a violar os teus mandamentos, e a aparentar-nos com os povos que cometem estas abominações? Não estarias tu indignado contra nós até de todo nos consumires, de modo que não ficasse restante, nem quem escapasse? ¹⁵ Ó Senhor Deus de Israel, justo és, pois ficamos qual um restante que escapou, como hoje se vê. Eis que estamos diante de ti em nossa culpa; e, por causa disto, ninguém há que possa subsistir na tua presença.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Da alt dette var fullført, kom høvdingene til mig og sa: Hverken Israels folk eller prestene og levittene har skilt sig fra folkene rundt om i landene, som de burde ha gjort på grunn av de vederstyggelige skikker som har rådet blandt dem - blandt kana'anittene, hetittene, ferisittene, jebusittene, ammonittene, moabittene, egypterne og amorittene. ² For de har tatt hustruer for sig og sine sønner blandt deres døtre, så den hellige ætt har blandet sig med folkene i landene, og høvdingene og forstanderne har vært de første til å gjøre sig skyldige i denne utroskap. ³ Da jeg hørte dette, sønderrev jeg min kjortel og min kappe og rev hår av hodet og skjegget og satt i stum sorg. ⁴ Da samlet de sig hos mig alle de som på grunn av Israels Guds ord var forferdet over de hjemkomnes utroskap, mens jeg satt der i stum sorg like til aftenofferet skulde frembæres. ⁵ Men ved tiden for aftenofferet reiste jeg mig fra mitt sørgesete i min sønderrevne kjortel og min sønderrevne kappe, og jeg kastet mig på kne og rakte ut mine hender til Herren min Gud ⁶ og sa: Min Gud! Jeg skammer mig og blues for å løfte mitt ansikt op mot dig, min Gud! For våre misgjerninger er vokset oss over hodet, og vår skyld er blitt så stor at den når til himmelen. ⁷ Fra våre fedres dager har vi vært i stor skyld like til denne dag, og for våre misgjerninger har vi med våre konger og prester vært overgitt i fremmede kongers hånd, under sverdet, i fangenskap, til plyndring og vanære, som det viser sig på denne dag. ⁸ Men nu er for et lite øieblikk nåde blitt oss til del fra Herren vår Gud, så han har levnet og frelst en rest av oss og gitt oss et fotfeste på sitt hellige sted, forat vår Gud kunde la våre øine lyse og gi oss litt ny livskraft i vår trældom. ⁹ For træler er vi; men vår Gud har ikke forlatt oss i vår trældom, han har latt oss finne nåde hos Persias konger, så de gav oss ny livskraft til å bygge op vår Guds hus og gjenreise dets ruiner og gav oss et hegnet bosted i Juda og i Jerusalem. ¹⁰ Men, vår Gud, hvad skal vi si efter alt dette? For vi har forlatt dine bud, ¹¹ dem som du gav ved dine tjenere profetene da du sa: Det land I drar inn i for å ta det i eie, er et land som er blitt urent ved de fremmede folks urenhet og ved de vederstyggeligheter som de i sin urenhet har fylt det med fra ende til annen; ¹² derfor skal I ikke gi eders døtre til deres sønner eller ta deres døtre til hustruer for eders sønner, og I skal aldri søke deres velferd og lykke, så I kan bli sterke og få ete av landets gode ting og la eders barn få det til eie for all tid. ¹³ Skulde vi vel nu efter alt det som er kommet over oss på grunn av våre onde gjerninger og vår store skyld, og siden du, vår Gud, har spart oss og straffet oss langt under vår misgjerning og latt en rest av oss som denne her bli frelst - ¹⁴ skulde vi da nu atter bryte dine bud og inngå svogerskap med folk som gjør sig skyldige i sådanne vederstyggeligheter? Vilde du ikke da vredes på oss, så det blev ute med oss, og det ikke var nogen som blev frelst eller slapp unda? ¹⁵ Herre, Israels Gud! Du er rettferdig; for vi er bare en levning, en rest som er blitt frelst, som det kan sees på denne dag; se, vi er nu her for ditt åsyn i vår syndeskyld; for efter det som nu har hendt, kan ingen bli stående for dig.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ După ce s'a sfîrşit lucrul acesta, căpeteniile s'au apropiat de mine, şi au zis:,,Poporul lui Israel, preoţii şi Leviţii nu s'au despărţit de popoarele acestor ţări, şi au făcut urîciunile lor, ale Cananiţilor, Hetiţilor, Fereziţilor, Iebusiţilor, Amoniţilor, Moabiţilor, Egiptenilor şi Amoriţilor. ² Căci şi-au luat neveste din fetele lor pentru ei şi pentru fiii lor, şi au amestecat neamul sfînt cu popoarele ţărilor acestora. Şi căpeteniile şi dregătorii au fost cei dintîi cari au săvîrşit păcatul acesta.`` ³ Cînd am auzit lucrul acesta, mi-am sfîşiat hainele şi mantaua, mi-am smuls părul din cap şi perii din barbă, şi am stat jos mîhnit. ⁴ Atunci s'au strîns la mine toţi ceice se temeau de cuvintele Dumnezeului lui Israel, din pricina păcatului fiilor robiei. Şi eu, am stat jos mîhnit, pînă la jertfa de seară. ⁵ Apoi, în clipa jertfei de seară, m'am sculat din smerirea mea, cu hainele şi mantaua sfîşiate, am căzut în genunchi, am întins mînile spre Domnul, Dumnezeul meu, şi am zis: ⁶ ,,Dumnezeule, sînt uluit, şi mi -e ruşine, Dumnezeule, să-mi ridic faţa spre Tine. Căci fărădelegile noastre s'au înmulţit deasupra capetelor noastre, şi greşelile noastre au ajuns pînă la ceruri. ⁷ Din zilele părinţilor noştri, am fost foarte vinovaţi pînă în ziua de azi, şi din pricina fărădelegilor noastre am fost daţi, noi, împăraţii noştri şi preoţii noştri, în mînile împăraţilor străini, pradă săbiei, robiei, jafului, şi ruşinii care ne acopere astăzi faţa. ⁸ Şi totuş Domnul, Dumnezeul nostru, S'a îndurat de noi, lăsîndu-ne cîţiva oameni scăpaţi, şi dîndu-ne un adăpost în locul Lui cel sfînt, ca să ne lumineze ochii şi să ne dea puţină răsuflare în mijlocul robiei noastre. ⁹ Căci sîntem robi, dar Dumnezeu nu ne -a părăsit în robia noastră. A îndreptat spre noi bunăvoinţa împăraţilor Perşilor şi ei ne-au dat o nouă putere de viaţă, ca să putem zidi Casa Dumnezeului nostru, şi să -i dregem dărîmăturile, făcîndu-ne astfel rost de un loc de adăpost în Iuda şi la Ierusalim. ¹⁰ Acum, ce să mai zicem noi după aceste lucruri, Dumnezeule? Căci am părăsit poruncile Tale, ¹¹ pe cari ni le poruncisei prin robii Tăi proorocii, zicînd:,,Ţara în care intraţi s'o stăpîniţi este o ţară întinată de necurăţiile popoarelor din aceste ţinuturi, de urîciunile cu cari au umplut -o, dela un capăt la altul, cu necurăţiile lor. ¹² Să nu daţi deci pe fetele voastre după fiii lor, nici să nu luaţi pe fetele lor de neveste pentru fiii voştri, şi să nu vă pese niciodată nici de propăşirea lor nici de bună starea lor. În chipul acesta veţi ajunge tari, veţi mînca cele mai bune roade ale ţării, şi o veţi lăsa pe veci moştenire fiilor voştri.`` ¹³ După tot ce mi s'a întîmplat din pricina faptelor rele şi marilor greşeli pe cari le-am făcut, măcar că, Tu, Dumnezeule, nu ne-ai pedepsit după fărădelegile noastre, se cuvine ca, acum, cînd ne-ai păstrat pe aceşti oameni scăpaţi, ¹⁴ să începem iarăş să călcăm poruncile Tale, şi să ne încuscrim cu aceste popoare urîcioase? N'ar izbucni atunci iarăş mînia Ta împotriva noastră, pînă acolo încît ne-ar nimici, fără să lase nici rămăşiţă nici robi izbăviţi? ¹⁵ Doamne, Dumnezeul lui Israel, Tu eşti drept; căci astăzi noi sîntem o rămăşiţă de robi izbăviţi. Iată-ne înaintea Ta ca nişte vinovaţi, şi din această pricină nu putem sta înaintea Ta.``

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ А як скінчилося це, підійшли до мене зверхники, говорячи: Цей народ, Ізраїль, і священики та Левити не відділилися від народів цих країв з їхніми гидотами, від хананеян, періззеян, євусеян, аммонеян, моавітян, єгиптян та амореян, ² бо побрали з їхніх дочок собі та своїм синам, змішалося святе насіння з народами цих країв, а рука зверхників та представників була перша в цьому спроневіренні. ³ А коли я почув це слово, то роздер я одежу свою та плаща свого, і рвав волосся з голови своєї та з бороди своєї, і сидів остовпілий... ⁴ І зібралися до мене всі тремтячі перед словами Бога Ізраїлевого за спроневірення поверненців, а я сидів остовпілий аж до жертви вечірньої. ⁵ А за вечірньої жертви встав я з упокорення свого, і, роздерши шату свою та плаща свого, упав я на коліна свої, і простягнув руки свої до Господа, Бога мого... ⁶ І сказав я: Боже мій, соромлюся я та стидаюся піднести, Боже мій, обличчя своє до Тебе, бо беззаконня наші помножилися понад голову, а наша провина виросла аж до неба!... ⁷ Від днів наших батьків ми в великій провині аж до дня цього, а за наші беззаконня були віддані ми, наші царі, наші священики в руку царів цих країв на меча, на полон, і на грабіж, і на посоромлення обличчя, як цього дня. ⁸ А тепер на малу хвилю сталася нам милість від Господа, Бога нашого, щоб позоставити нам останок, і дати нам затвердитися на місці святині Його, щоб освітити очі наші, Боже наш, і дати нам трохи ожити в нашій неволі! ⁹ Бо раби ми, та в нашій неволі не покинув нас Бог наш, і прихилив до нас милість перед перськими царями, щоб дати нам ожити, щоб піднести дім нашого Бога й щоб відбудувати руїни його, та щоб дати нам захист в Юдеї та в Єрусалимі. ¹⁰ А тепер що скажемо, Боже наш, по цьому? Бо ми покинули заповіді Твої, ¹¹ які Ти наказав через Своїх рабів пророків, говорячи: Цей Край, що ви йдете посісти, він край нечистий через нечистість народу цих країв, через їхні гидоти, що наповнили його від краю до краю своєю нечистістю. ¹² А тепер дочок своїх не давайте їхнім синам, а їхніх дочок не беріть для своїх синів, і не питайте їх про мир та про добро їх аж навіки, щоб ви стали сильні, та споживали добро цієї землі, і віддали на спадок вашим синам аж навіки. ¹³ А по тому всьому, що прийшло на нас за наші злі чини та за нашу велику провину, бо Ти, Боже наш, стримав кару більше від гріха нашого, і дав нам таку рештку, ¹⁴ чи знову ми ламатимемо заповіді Твої, і будемо посвоячуватися з оцими мерзотними народами? Чи ж Ти не розгніваєшся на нас аж до вигублення нас, так що ніхто не позостався б і не врятувався? ¹⁵ Господи, Боже Ізраїлів, Ти праведний, бо ми позосталися останком, як цього дня. Ось ми в провині своїй перед лицем Твоїм, бо не встояти нам за це перед лицем Твоїм!...
