Nehemiah 05 The Poor Murmur Against the Rich, and Nehemiah Rebukes the Latter

 Nehemiah 05

The Poor Murmur Against the Rich, and Nehemiah Rebukes the Latter

1 But there was a great outcry of the people and their wives against their fellow Jews.

2 For there were some who said, “We are many with our sons and daughters; let us take grain, that we may eat and live.”

3 And there were some who said, “We have pledged our fields, our vineyards, and our houses, that we may get grain in this famine.”

4 And there were some who said, “We have borrowed money even for the king’s tribute on our fields and vineyards.”

5 And now our flesh is like the flesh of our brothers, and our children like their children; and, behold, we have brought our sons and our daughters into bondage to be servants; and some of our daughters are also brought into bondage, that they are no longer in our hands; and others have our fields and our vineyards. 6 When I heard their outcry and these words, I was very angry.

7 And I considered in my heart, and then I fought with the nobles and the rulers, and said to them, "You take usury every one from his brother." And I gathered a great assembly against them.

8 And I said to them, "We have redeemed our brethren the Jews, who were sold to the nations, according to our ability; and will you sell your brethren again, or will you sell yourselves to us?" Then they held their peace, and found no way to answer.

9 And he said, "What you do is not good: should you walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the nations, our enemies?

10 I also, and my brethren, and my servants, have given them money and grain on interest. Let us leave this gain." 

11 Restore to them today, I pray you, their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, and the hundredth part of the money, of the grain, of the wine, and of the oil, which you exacted from them.

12 Then they said, "We will restore them, and we will not demand anything from them; we will do as you say." Then I called the priests and made them swear to do according to this word.

13 I also shook my lap and said, "So may God shake out every man from his house and from his work who does not do this word, and so let him be shaken out and empty." And the congregation said, "Amen!" And they praised the Lord; and the people did according to this word.

14 Also from the day that I was appointed their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year until the thirty-second year of King Artaxerxes, twelve years, neither I nor my brothers ate the governor's bread. 

15 But the former governors who were before me oppressed the people and took bread and wine from them, and forty shekels of silver. Their servants also ruled over the people, but I did not do so because of the fear of God. 

16 I also made repairs in the work of this wall, and we did not buy any land; and all my servants were there for the work. 

17 And there were one hundred and fifty men of the Jews and of the rulers, and those who came to us from the nations that were around us, who sat at my table. 

18 And the daily food was one ox and six choice sheep; and they prepared fowls for me, and every ten days very much of all wine. Yet I did not exact the governor's bread, because the bondage of this people was great. 

19 Remember me for good, O my God, and all that I have done to this people.

Neemias 05

Os pobres murmuram contra os ricos, e Neemias repreende os últimos

 

1 Foi porém grande o clamor do povo e de suas mulheres, contra os judeus, seus irmãos.

2 Porque havia quem dizia: Com nossos filhos, e nossas filhas, nós somos muitos; pelo que tomemos trigo, para que comamos e vivamos.

3 Também havia quem dizia: As nossas terras, as nossas vinhas, e as nossas casas empenhamos, para tomarmos trigo nesta fome.

4 Também havia quem dizia: Tomamos dinheiro emprestado até para tributo do rei, sobre as nossas terras e as nossas vinhas.

5 Agora pois, a nossa carne é como a carne de nossos irmãos, e nossos filhos como seus filhos; e eis que sujeitamos nossos filhos e nossas filhas para serem servos; e até algumas de nossas filhas são tão sujeitas que já não estão no poder de nossas mãos; e outros têm as nossas terras e as nossas vinhas.

6 Ouvindo eu pois o seu clamor, e estas palavras, muito me enfadei.

7 E considerei comigo mesmo no meu coração; depois pelejei com os nobres e com os magistrados, e disse-lhes: Usura tomais cada um de seu irmão. E ajuntei contra eles um grande ajuntamento.

8 E disse-lhes: Nós resgatamos os judeus, nossos irmãos, que foram vendidos às gentes, segundo nossas posses; e vós outra vez venderíeis a vossos irmãos, ou vender-se-iam a nós? Então se calaram, e não acharam que responder.

9 Disse mais: Não é bom o que fazeis: porventura devíeis andar no temor do nosso Deus, por causa do opróbrio dos gentios, os nossos inimigos?

10 Também eu, meus irmãos e meus moços, a juro lhes temos dado dinheiro e trigo. Deixemos este ganho.

11 Restituí-lhes hoje, vos peço, as suas terras, as suas vinhas, os seus olivais, e as suas casas; como também o centésimo do dinheiro, do trigo, do mosto, e do azeite, que vós exigis deles.

12 Então disseram: restituir-lho-emos, e nada procuraremos deles; faremos assim como dizes. Então chamei os sacerdotes, e os fiz jurar que fariam conforme a esta palavra.

13 Também o meu regaço sacudi, e disse: Assim sacuda Deus todo o homem da sua casa e do seu trabalho que não cumprir esta palavra, e assim seja sacudido e vazio. E a congregação disse: Amém! E louvaram ao Senhor; e o povo fez conforme a esta palavra.

14 Também deste o dia em que fui nomeado seu governador na terra de Judá, desde o ano vinte, até ao ano trinta e dois do rei Artaxerxes, doze anos, nem eu nem meus irmãos comemos o pão do governador.

15 Mas os primeiros governadores, que foram antes de mim, oprimiram o povo, e tomaram-lhe pão e vinho, e além disso, quarenta siclos de prata; ainda também os seus moços dominavam sobre o povo; porém eu assim não fiz, por causa do temor de Deus.

16 Antes também na obra deste muro fiz reparação, e terra nenhuma compramos: e todos os meus moços se ajuntaram ali à obra.

17 Também cento e cinqüenta homens dos judeus e dos magistrados, e os que vinham a nós, dentre as gentes, que estão à roda de nós, se punham à minha mesa.

18 E os que se preparava para cada dia era um boi e seis ovelhas escolhidas: também aves se me preparavam, e de dez em dez dias de todo o vinho muitíssimo: e nem por isso exigi o pão do governador, porquanto a servidão deste povo era grande.

19 Lembra-te de mim para bem, ó meu Deus, e tudo quanto fiz a este povo.

 

 

नहेमायाह 04 दुश्मन दीवारों के निर्माण में देरी करना चाहते हैं

 नहेमायाह 04

दुश्मन दीवारों के निर्माण में देरी करना चाहते हैं

1 जब सम्बल्लत ने सुना कि हम शहरपनाह बना रहे हैं, तब वह बहुत क्रोधित हुआ, और यहूदियों को ठट्ठों में उड़ाने लगा।

2 और उसने अपने भाइयों और शोमरोन की सेना के सामने कहा, ये निर्बल यहूदी क्या कर रहे हैं? क्या उन्हें ऐसा करने की अनुमति होगी? क्या वे बलिदान देंगे? क्या वे इसे एक ही दिन में ख़त्म कर देंगे? क्या जले हुए पत्थर धूल के ढेर से जीवित हो उठेंगे?

3 और अम्मोनी तोबियाह उनके संग था, और उसने कहा, यदि वे बनाएं भी, तो यदि कोई लोमड़ी आ जाए तो वह उनकी पत्थर की दीवार को आसानी से तोड़ देगी।

4 हे हमारे परमेश्वर, सुन, हम तुच्छ समझे गए हैं; उनकी नामधराई उनके सिर से दूर कर, और उन्हें बन्धुआई के देश में लूट ले आ।

5 और उनके अधर्म को मत छिपाओ, और उनके पाप को अपने साम्हने से मत मिटाओ, क्योंकि उन्होंने राजमिस्त्रियों के साम्हने तुझे क्रोध दिलाया था।

6 तब हमने दीवार बनाई और पूरी दीवार आधी ऊंचाई तक जुड़ गई, क्योंकि लोगों का मन काम करने में लगा था।

7 जब सम्बल्लत, तोबियाह, अरब, अम्मोन और अशदोदियों ने सुना कि यरूशलेम की शहरपनाह की मरम्मत इतनी बड़ी हो गई है कि उसकी दरारें भरने लगी हैं, तब वे बहुत क्रोधित हुए।

8 और उन सभों ने मिलकर यह षड्यन्त्र रचा कि यरूशलेम पर आक्रमण करके उसके विरुद्ध लड़ें, और उन्हें उनके उद्देश्य से भटका दें।

9 परन्तु हमने अपने परमेश्वर से प्रार्थना की, और उनके कारण दिन रात उनके विरुद्ध पहरे बिठा दिए।

10 तब यहूदा ने कहा, “द्वारपालों की शक्ति समाप्त हो गई है, और धूल इतनी अधिक है कि हम दीवार नहीं बना सकते।”

11 परन्तु हमारे शत्रुओं ने कहा, जब तक हम उनके बीच में आकर उन्हें न मार डालें, तब तक वे इसे न जानेंगे और न देखेंगे; इस प्रकार हम काम बंद कर देंगे।

12 और ऐसा हुआ कि जो यहूदी उनके बीच में रहते थे, उन्होंने आकर दस बार और हर जगह हम को समाचार दिया कि वे हमारे पास लौट आए हैं।

13 इस कारण मैं ने दीवार के पीछे निचले स्थानों में और ऊंचे स्थानों में पहरेदार बैठा दिए; और मैंने लोगों को उनके घरानों के अनुसार तलवारें, भाले और धनुष देकर नियुक्त किया।

14 तब मैं उठकर रईसों, हाकिमों और बाकी लोगों से कहने लगा, “उनसे मत डरो; यहोवा जो महान और भययोग्य है, उसको स्मरण रखो, और अपने भाइयों, अपने बच्चों, अपनी स्त्रियों, और अपने घरों के लिये लड़ो।”

15 और जब हमारे शत्रुओं ने सुना कि यह बात हमें मालूम हो गई है, और परमेश्वर ने उनकी युक्ति निष्फल कर दी है, तब हम सब के सब शहरपनाह के निकट अपने अपने काम पर लौट गए।

16 और उस दिन से ऐसा हुआ कि मेरे आधे सेवक काम में लगे रहे, और बाकी आधे भाले, ढाल, धनुष और कवच धारण किए रहे; और प्रधान यहूदा के सारे घराने के पीछे-पीछे रहे।

17 जो दीवारें बनाते थे, जो बोझा ढोते थे और जो बोझा ढोते थे, वे सब एक हाथ से काम करते थे और दूसरे हाथ से हथियार थामे रहते थे।

18 और हर एक घर के बनाने वाले अपनी कमर में तलवार बाँधे हुए बनाते थे; और तुरही बजाने वाला मेरे साथ था।

19 तब मैंने रईसों, हाकिमों और बाकी लोगों से कहा, काम बड़ा और फैला हुआ है, और हम लोग शहरपनाह से अलग और एक दूसरे से बहुत दूर रहते हैं।

20 जिस स्थान पर तुम नरसिंगे की आवाज सुनो, वहीं हमारे साथ इकट्ठे हो जाना। हमारा परमेश्वर हमारे लिये लड़ेगा।

21 सो हम उस काम में लगे रहे; और उनमें से आधे लोग सूर्योदय से लेकर तारों के निकलने तक अपने भाले थामे रहे।

22 उस समय उसने लोगों से कहा, “हर एक आदमी और उसका नौकर यरूशलेम में ही रहें, ताकि वे रात को हमारा पहरा दें और दिन में हमारा काम करें।”

23 न तो मैंने, न मेरे भाइयों ने, न मेरे सेवकों ने, न मेरे पीछे चलने वाले पहरेदारों ने अपने कपड़े उतारे; सब अपने-अपने हथियार समेत जल में उतर गए।

Nehemiah 04 The Enemies Want to Delay the Building of the Wall

 Nehemiah 04

The Enemies Want to Delay the Building of the Wall

1 Now it came to pass, when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, that he was very angry and greatly displeased, and he mocked the Jews.

2 And he spake in the presence of his brethren, and of the army of Samaria, and said, What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they be permitted to do this? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish it in one day? Will they revive the stones that were burned out of the heaps of dust?

3 And Tobiah the Ammonite stood by them, and said, Even if they build, even a fox will easily break down their stone wall.

4 Hear, O our God, that we are despised, and shut up their reproach upon their heads, and make them a plunder in a land of captivity.

5 Do not cover their iniquity, and do not let their sin be blotted out from before you, because they provoked you to anger in the sight of the builders. 

6 So we built the wall, and the whole wall was joined together up to half its length, for the people were eager to work. 

7 When Sanballat and Tobiah, the Arabians, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the repairs to the walls of Jerusalem were being made up so much that the breaches were beginning to be stopped, they were very angry. 

8 They all plotted to come and fight against Jerusalem and to divert them from their purpose. 

9 But we prayed to our God and set a guard against them day and night because of them. 

10 Then Judah said, "The strength of the charioteers has failed, and the dust is too much for us to build the wall." 

11 But our enemies said, "They will not know or see this until we enter among them and kill them; then we will stop the work." 

12 And it came to pass, when the Jews who lived among them came, that they told us ten times, and in all places, that they would return to us. 

13 So I set guards in the low places behind the wall and on the high places, and I stationed the people by their families with their swords, with their spears, and with their bows. 

14 Then I looked, and arose, and said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, "Do not be afraid of them; remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your children, your wives, and your houses." 

15 When our enemies heard that we had heard it, and that God had frustrated their plan, we all returned to the wall, each to his work. 

16 From that day on, half of my servants worked on the work, and half of them held the spears, shields, bows, and armor. The leaders were behind the whole house of Judah. ​​

17 Those who built the wall, and those who carried the burdens, and those who carried them, each one worked with one hand and held the weapons in the other. 

18 The builders each had a sword girded on their waists and were building. The one who blew the trumpet was by me. 

19 I said to the nobles, the rulers, and the rest of the people, “The work is great and extensive, and we are separated from the wall, far from each other.”

 20 Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, gather yourselves together with us. Our God will fight for us.

21 So we worked on the project, and half of them held spears from the rising of the morning until the rising of the stars.

22 At that time I said to the people, “Let each man and his servant remain in Jerusalem, so that they may be our guard by night and on the project by day.”

23 Neither I nor my brothers nor my servants nor the men of the guard who followed me would put off our clothes; each man went with his weapons to the water.

Neemias 04 Os inimigos pretendem retardar a edificação dos muros

 

Neemias 04

Os inimigos pretendem retardar a edificação dos muros

1 E sucedeu que, ouvindo Sambalate que edificávamos o muro, ardeu em ira, e se indignou muito; e escarneceu dos judeus.

2 E falou na presença de seus irmãos, e do exército de Samaria, e disse: Que fazem estes fracos judeus? Permite-se-lhes-à isto? Sacrificarão? Acaba-lo-ão num só dia? Vivificarão dos montões do pó as pedras que foram queimadas?

3 E estava com eles Tobias, o Amonita, e disse: Ainda que edifiquem, vindo uma raposa derrubará facilmente o seu muro de pedra.

4 Ouve, ó nosso Deus, que somos tão desprezados, e cala o seu opróbrio sobre a sua cabeça, e faze com que sejam um despojo, numa terra de cativeiro.

5 E não cubras a sua iniquidade, e não se risque diante de ti o seu pecado, pois que te irritaram defronte dos edificadores.

6 Assim edificamos o muro, e todo o muro se cerrou até a sua metade: porque o coração do povo se inclinava a trabalhar.

7 E sucedeu que, ouvindo Sambalate e Tobias, e os arábios, e os amonitas, e os asdoditas, que tanto is crescendo a reparação dos muros de Jerusalém que já as roturas se começavam a tapar, iraram-se sobremodo,

8 E ligaram-se entre si todos, para virem guerrear Jerusalém, e para os desviarem do seu intento.

9 Porém nós oramos ao nosso Deus, e pusemos uma guarda contra eles, de dia e de noite, por causa deles.

10 Então disse Judá: Já desfalecemos as forças dos acarretadores, e o pó é muito e nós não poderemos edificar o muro.

11 Disseram porém os nossos inimigos: Nada saberão disto, nem verão, até que entremos no meio deles, e os matemos; assim faremos cessar a obra.

12 E sucedeu que, vindo os judeus que habitavam entre eles, dez vezes nos disseram, e todos os lugares, que tornavam a nós.

13 Pelo que pus guardas nos lugares baixos por detrás do muro e nos altos; e pus ao povo pelas suas famílias com as suas espadas, com as suas lanças, e com os seus arcos.

14 E olhei, e levantei-me, e disse aos nobres, e aos magistrados, e ao resto do povo: Não os temais: lembrai-vos do Senhor, grande e terrível, e pelejai pelos vossos irmãos, vossos filhos, vossas mulheres e vossas casas.

15 E sucedeu que, ouvindo os nossos inimigos que já o sabíamos e que Deus tinha dissipado o conselho deles, todos voltamos ao muro, cada um à sua obra.

16 E sucedeu que desde aquele dia metade dos meus moços trabalhava na obra, e a outra metade deles tinham as lanças, e os escudos, os arcos, e as couraças; e os chefes estavam por detrás de toda a casa de Judá.

17 Os que edificavam os muros, e os que traziam as cargas, e os que carregavam, cada um com uma mão fazia a obra e na outra tinha as armas.

18 E os edificadores casa um traziam a espada cingida aos lombos, e edificavam; e o que tocava a trombeta estava junto comigo.

19 E disse eu aos nobres, e aos magistrados, e ao resto do povo: Grande e extensa é a obra, e nós estamos apartados do muro, longe uns dos outros.

20 No lugar onde ouvirdes o som da buzina ali vos ajuntais conosco. O nosso Deus pelejará por nós.

21 Assim trabalhávamos na obra; e metade deles tinha as lanças desde a subida da alva até ao sair das estrelas.

22 Também naquele tempo disse ao povo: Cada um com o seu moço fique em Jerusalém, para que de noite nos sirvam de guarda, e de dia na obra.

23 E nem eu, nem meus irmãos, nem meus moços, nem os homens da guarda que me seguiam largávamos os nossos vestidos; cada um ia com a suas armas à água.

नहेमायाह 02 अर्तक्षत्र ने नहेमायाह को यरूशलेम जाकर दीवारें बनाने की अनुमति दी

 नहेमायाह 02

अर्तक्षत्र ने नहेमायाह को यरूशलेम जाकर दीवारें बनाने की अनुमति दी

1 राजा अर्तक्षत्र के बीसवें वर्ष के निसान महीने में ऐसा हुआ कि उसके साम्हने दाखमधु था; और मैं ने दाखमधु उठाकर राजा को दिया; परन्तु उस से पहिले वह कभी उसके साम्हने उदास न हुई थी।

2 राजा ने मुझ से पूछा, तू तो बीमार नहीं है, फिर भी तेरा चेहरा क्यों उदास है? यह और कुछ नहीं, हृदय की उदासी है। तब मुझे बहुत अधिक भय लगा।

3 और उसने राजा से कहा, राजा सदा जीवित रहे! जब वह नगर, जिस में मेरे पूर्वजों की कब्रें थीं, उजड़ गया है, और उसके फाटक आग से भस्म हो गए हैं, तब मेरा मुख क्यों न उदास होगा?

4 तब राजा ने मुझ से पूछा, अब तू मुझ से क्या पूछता है? तब मैंने स्वर्ग के परमेश्वर से प्रार्थना की,

5 उसने राजा से कहा, यदि राजा को स्वीकार हो, और तेरा दास तुझे स्वीकार्य हो, तो मुझे यहूदा के पास, अपने पुरखाओं की कब्रों वाले नगर में भेज, कि मैं उसे फिर बनाऊं।

6 जब रानी राजा के पास बैठी थी, तब राजा ने मुझसे पूछा, “तुम्हारी यात्रा में कितनी देर लगेगी और तुम कब लौटोगे?” राजा ने मुझे भेजने की कृपा की, और मैंने उसके लिये एक निश्चित समय नियुक्त किया।

7 फिर उसने राजा से कहा, यदि राजा को स्वीकार हो तो महानद के पार के हाकिमों के लिये मुझे पत्र दिये जायें, कि जब तक मैं यहूदा में न पहुंचूं तब तक वे मुझे जाने दें।

8 और राजा की बारी के रखवाले आसाप के लिये भी एक पत्र लिख भेजा है, कि वह मुझे राजभवन के फाटकों, और नगर की शहरपनाह, और उस घर के लिये, जिसमें मैं जाऊँगा, लकड़ी दे। और राजा ने मुझ पर परमेश्वर की कृपादृष्टि के अनुसार उसे मुझे दे दिया।

9 तब मैं महानद के पार के हाकिमों के पास गया, और उन्हें राजा के पत्र दिए; और राजा ने मेरे साथ सेनापति और घुड़सवार भेजे थे।

10 जब होरोनी सम्बल्लत और अम्मोनी सेवक तोबियाह ने यह सुना, तो वे बहुत क्रोधित हुए कि कोई इस्राएलियों का कुशल पूछने आया है।

11 फिर मैं यरूशलेम को आया और वहां तीन दिन रहा।

12 तब मैं और मेरे साथ कुछ मनुष्य थे, और मैं ने रात को उठकर किसी को न बताया कि मेरे परमेश्वर ने यरूशलेम में मेरे मन में क्या डाला है; और उस पशु को छोड़ जिस पर मैं बैठा था, और मेरे संग कोई पशु न था।

13 और मैं रात को तराई के फाटक से होकर अजगर के कुएँ और कूड़ाफाटक के पास गया, और यरूशलेम की टूटी हुई शहरपनाह और जले हुए फाटकों को देखा।

14 फिर मैं सोता फाटक के पास से होकर राजा के कुण्ड के पास से होकर गया; और मेरे नीचे जो पहाड़ था, उसके पार जाने के लिए कोई स्थान न था।

15 तब मैं रात को नाले के पास से होकर ऊपर गया, और दीवार पर दृष्टि डाली; फिर मैं घूमकर तराई के फाटक से भीतर गया, और वैसे ही लौट आया।

16 और हाकिमों को यह नहीं मालूम था कि मैं कहां जाता था और क्या करता था; क्योंकि उस समय तक न तो यहूदियों ने, न रईसों ने, न हाकिमों ने, न किसी और काम करने वाले ने कुछ बताया था।

17 तब उसने उनसे कहा, “तुम देख रहे हो कि हम कितने संकट में हैं, यरूशलेम कितना उजाड़ पड़ा है और उसके फाटक आग से जल गए हैं। आओ, हम यरूशलेम की शहरपनाह को फिर से बनाएँ, ताकि हम फिर लज्जित न हों।

18 तब मैंने उनको बताया कि मेरे परमेश्वर का हाथ मेरे पक्ष में कैसा रहा है, और राजा ने मुझसे क्या-क्या बातें कहीं। तब उन्होंने कहा, आओ, हम उठकर बनाएं। और उन्होंने भलाई के लिये अपने हाथ मजबूत किये।

19 जब होरोनी सम्बल्लत, अम्मोनी तोबियाह सेवक, और अरबी गेशेम ने यह सुना, तब उन्होंने हमारा उपहास किया, और हमें तुच्छ जाना, और कहा, यह तुम क्या करते हो? क्या तुम राजा के खिलाफ विद्रोह करना चाहते हो?

20 तब मैं ने उनको उत्तर देकर कहा, स्वर्ग का परमेश्वर हमारा कल्याण करेगा; और हम, उसके सेवक, उठेंगे और बनाएंगे; परन्तु यरूशलेम में तुम्हारा न तो कोई भाग, न अधिकार, न स्मृति है।

Nehemiah 02 Artaxerxes Allows Nehemiah to Go to Jerusalem and Build the Wall

 Nehemiah 02

Artaxerxes Allows Nehemiah to Go to Jerusalem and Build the Wall

1 Now it came to pass in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, that wine was before him; and I took up the wine, and gave it to the king: but before I had never been sad before him.

2 And the king said to me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? This is but sorrow of heart. Then I was greatly afraid.

3 And I said to the king, May the king live forever: how should not my countenance be sad, seeing the city, the place of my fathers' graves, laid waste, and its gates consumed with fire?

4 And the king said to me, What askest thou of me now? Then I prayed to the God of heaven, 

5 and said to the king, "If it pleases the king, and if your servant is accepted in your sight, please send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' tombs, so that I may rebuild it."

 6 The king said to me, while the queen was sitting beside him, "How long will your journey be, and when will you return?" And it pleased the king to send me, and I appointed him a set time. 

7 I also said to the king, "If it pleases the king, let letters be given to the governors beyond the River, that they may give me passage until I come to Judah; 

8 and a letter to Asaph, keeper of the king's garden, that he may give me timber to cover the gates of the palace and for the wall of the city and for the house that I shall enter." So the king gave it to me, according to the good hand of God upon me. 

9 Then I came to the governors beyond the River and gave them the king's letters, and the king had sent with me commanders of the army and horsemen.

10 When Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official heard of it, they were very displeased that someone had come to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.

11 So I came to Jerusalem and stayed there three days.

12 And I got up at night, I and a few men with me, and I told no one what my God had put in my heart to do in Jerusalem. And there was no animal with me except the one I rode on.

13 So I went out at night through the Valley Gate to the Dragon's Well and to the Dung Gate, and I saw the walls of Jerusalem that were broken down and its gates that had been consumed by fire.

14 And I passed by the Fountain Gate and the king's pool. and there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.

15 So I went up by night by the brook, and looked at the wall; and I turned back, and entered by the valley gate, and so returned.

16 But the magistrates knew not whither I went, nor what I did: for up to that time neither the Jews, nor the nobles, nor the magistrates, nor any others that did the work, had told them anything.

17 Then I said unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth in desolation, and her gates have been burned with fire: come, therefore, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no more be in reproach.

18 Then I told them how the hand of my God was upon me, and the words of the king which he had spoken unto me. Then they said, Let us arise and build. And they strengthened their hands for good.

19 Then I told them that the hand of my God was upon me, and that the king had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us arise and build. And they set their hands to do good.  When Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard of it, they mocked us and despised us. They said, “What are you doing? Do you want to rebel against the king?” 

20 Then I answered them, “The God of heaven will prosper us, and we his servants will arise and build. But you have no portion, no right, no memory in Jerusalem.”

Neemias 02 Artaxerxes permite a Neemias ir a Jerusalém e edificar os muros

 

Neemias 02

Artaxerxes permite a Neemias ir a Jerusalém e edificar os muros

 

1 Sucedeu pois no mês de Nisã, no ano vigésimo do rei Artaxerxes, que estava posto vinho diante dele, e eu tomei o vinho, e o dei ao rei; porém nunca antes estivera triste diante dele.

2 E o rei me disse: Por que está triste o teu rosto, pois não estás doente? Não é isto senão tristeza de coração. Então temi muito em grande maneira.

3 E disse ao rei: Viva o rei para sempre! Como não estaria triste o meu rosto, estando a cidade, o lugar dos sepulcros de meus pais, assolada, e tendo sido consumidas as suas portas a fogo?

4 E o rei me disse: Que me pedes agora? Então orei ao Deus dos céus,

5 E disse ao rei: Se é do agrado do rei, e se o teu servo é aceito em tua presença, peço-te que me envias a Judá, à cidade dos sepulcros de meus pais, para que eu a edifique.

6 Então o rei me disse, estando a rainha assentada junto a ele: Quanto durará a tua viagem, e quando voltarás? E aprouve o rei enviar-me, apontando-lhe eu um certo tempo.

7 Disse mais ao rei: Se ao rei parece bem, dêem-se me cartas para os governadores dalém do rio, para que me dêem passagem até que chegue a Judá;

8 Como também uma carta para Asafe, guarda do jardim do rei, para que me dê madeira para cobrir as portas do paço da casa, e para o muro da cidade, e para a casa em que eu houver de entrar. E o rei mas deu, segundo a boa mão de Deus sobre mim.

9 Então vim aos governadores dalém do rio, e dei-lhes as cartas do rei; e o rei tinha enviado comigo chefes do exército e cavaleiros.

10 O que ouvindo Sambalate, o horonita, e Tobias, o servo amonita, lhes desagradou com grande desagrado que alguém viesse a procurar o bem dos filhos de Israel.

11 E cheguei a Jerusalém, e estive ali três dias.

12 E de noite me levantei, eu e poucos homens comigo, e não declarei a ninguém o que o meu Deus me pôs no coração para fazer em Jerusalém: e não havia comigo animal algum, senão aquele em que estava montado.

13 E de noite saí pela porta do vale, para a banda da fonte do dragão, e para a porta do monturo, e comtemplei os muros de Jerusalém, que estavam fendidos, e as suas portas, que tinham sido consumidas pelo fogo.

14 E passei à porta da fonte, e ao viveiro do rei; e não havia lugar por onde pudesse passar a cavalgadura que estava debaixo de mim.

15 Então de noite subi pelo ribeiro, e comtemplei o muro: e voltei, e entrei pela porta do vale, e assim voltei.

16 E não souberam os magistrados aonde eu fui nem o que eu fazia: porque ainda até então nem os judeus, nem aos nobres, nem aos magistrados, nem aos mais que faziam a obra, tinha declarado coisa alguma.

17 Então lhes disse: Bem vede vós a miséria em que estamos, que Jerusalém está assolada, e que as suas portas têm sido queimadas a fogo; vinde pois e reedifiquemos o muro de Jerusalém, e não estejamos mais em opróbrio.

18 Então lhes declarei como a mão do meu Deus me fora favorável, como também as palavras do rei, que ele me tinha dito. Então disseram: Levantemo-nos, e edifiquemos. E esforçaram as suas mãos para o bem.

19 O que ouvindo Sambalate, o horonita, e Tobias, o servo amonita, e Gesêm, o arábio, zombaram de nós, e desprezaram-nos, e disseram: Que isto que fazeis? Quereis rebelar-vos contra o rei?

20 Então lhes respondi, e disse: O Deus dos céus é o que nos fará prosperar; e nós, seus servos, nos levantaremos e edificaremos; mas vós não tendes parte nem justiça, nem memória em Jerusalém.

नहेमायाह 01 यरूशलेम की दुखद स्थिति को जानकर नहेमायाह परमेश्वर से प्रार्थना करता है

 नहेमायाह 01

यरूशलेम की दुखद स्थिति को जानकर नहेमायाह परमेश्वर से प्रार्थना करता है

1 हेकल्याह के पुत्र नहेमायाह के वचन। बीसवें वर्ष के किसलवे महीने में जब मैं शूशन राजगढ़ में था।

2 तब मेरा एक भाई हनानी और कुछ यहूदा से आए; और मैंने उनसे उन यहूदियों के विषय में पूछा जो बन्धुआई से बचकर आए थे, और यरूशलेम के विषय में भी।

3 उन्होंने मुझ से कहा, जो बचे हुए लोग उस प्रान्त में बन्धुआई से छूटकर रह गए हैं, वे बड़े संकट और अपमान में पड़े हैं; और यरूशलेम की शहरपनाह टूटी हुई है, और फाटक आग से जल गए हैं।

4 जब मैंने ये बातें सुनीं, तो मैं बैठकर रोया और कुछ दिन तक विलाप करता रहा; और स्वर्ग के परमेश्वर के सामने उपवास और प्रार्थना करता रहा।

5 और उसने कहा, आह! हे प्रभु, स्वर्ग के परमेश्वर, महान और भययोग्य परमेश्वर! जो उससे प्रेम रखते और उसकी आज्ञाएं मानते हैं, उनके साथ वह वाचा रखता और उन पर दया करता है;

6 अपने कान खुले रखो और अपनी आंखें खोलकर अपने दास की प्रार्थना सुनो, जो मैं आज दिन रात अपने दास इस्राएलियों के लिये तेरे सम्मुख करता हूं, और इस्राएलियों के पापों को मान लो, जो हम ने तेरे विरुद्ध किए हैं। मैं और मेरे पिता के घराने ने भी पाप किया है।

7 हम तेरे विरुद्ध बहुत भ्रष्ट हो गए हैं, और जो आज्ञाएं, विधियां, और नियम तूने अपने दास मूसा को दिए थे, उन को हम ने नहीं माना है।

8 इसलिये जो वचन तू ने अपने दास मूसा से कहा था, उसे स्मरण कर, कि यदि तुम अपराध करोगे, तो मैं तुम्हें जाति जाति के बीच तितर बितर कर दूंगा।

9 यदि तुम मेरी ओर फिरो और मेरी आज्ञाओं को मानो और उन पर चलो, तो चाहे तुम्हारे निकाले हुए लोग आकाश की छोर पर भी क्यों न हों, मैं उन्हें वहां से इकट्ठा करके उस स्थान पर पहुंचाऊंगा, जिसे मैं ने अपना नाम रखने के लिये चुना है।

10 ये अब भी तेरे सेवक और तेरी प्रजा हैं जिन्हें तूने अपनी बड़ी सामर्थ और बलवन्त हाथ से छुड़ाया है।

11 आह! हे प्रभु, अपने दास की प्रार्थना पर और अपने उन सेवकों की प्रार्थना पर कान लगा, जो तेरे नाम का भय मानना ​​चाहते हैं। और आज अपने दास को सफल कर, और उस पुरूष की दृष्टि में उस पर अनुग्रह कर। तो मैं राजा का प्याला-भरनेवाला था।

Nehemiah 01 Nehemiah, hearing the distress of Jerusalem, prays to God

 Nehemiah 01

Nehemiah, hearing the distress of Jerusalem, prays to God

1 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hecaliah. Now it came to pass in the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the stronghold,

2 That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I inquired of them concerning the Jews that were escaped, and that were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.

3 And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great distress and contempt, and the wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.

4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days; and I fasted and prayed before the God of heaven.

5 And I said, Ah, Lord, God of heaven, the great and awesome God! Who keeps the covenant and the kindness toward those who love you and keep your commandments; 

6 Let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer of your servant, which I pray before you today, day and night, for the children of Israel, your servants, and to confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against you; I and my father's house have sinned. 

7 We have acted corruptly against you and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, or the ordinances that you commanded your servant Moses. 

8 Remember therefore the word that you commanded your servant Moses, saying, 'If you transgress, I will scatter you among the peoples.' 

9 If you return to me and keep my commandments and do them, then even though your outcasts are at the ends of the heavens, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place that I have chosen to place my name there.

10 These are still your servants and your people whom you have redeemed by your great power and by your strong hand.

11 O Lord, please listen carefully to the prayer of your servant and to the prayer of your servants who desire to fear your name. May your servant prosper today and grant him favor in the sight of this man. At that time I was cupbearer to the king.

Neemias 01 Neemias, sabendo o triste estado de Jerusalém, ora a Deus

 

Neemias 01

Neemias, sabendo o triste estado de Jerusalém, ora a Deus

 

1 As palavras de Neemias, filho de Hecalias. E sucedeu no mês de Quisleu, no ano vigésimo, estando eu em Susã, a fortaleza,

2 Que veio Hanani, um de meus irmãos, ele e alguns de Judá; e perguntei-lhes pelos judeus que escaparam, e que restaram do cativeiro, e acerca de Jerusalém.

3 E disseram-me: os restantes, que restaram do cativeiro, lá na província estão em grande miséria e desprezo, e o muro de Jerusalém fendido, e as portas queimadas a fogo.

4 E sucedeu que, ouvindo eu estas palavras, assentei-me e chorei, e lamentei por alguns dias; e estive jejuando e orando perante o Deus dos céus.

5 E disse: Ah! Senhor, Deus dos céus, Deus grande e terrível! Que guardas o concerto e a benignidade para com aqueles que te amam e guardam os teus mandamentos;

6 Estejam pois atentos os teus ouvidos, e os teus olhos abertos, para ouvires a oração do teu servo, que eu hoje faço perante ti, de dia e de noite, pelos filhos de Israel, teus servos: e faço confissão pelos pecados dos filhos de Israel, que pecamos contra ti; também eu e a casa de meu pai pecamos.

7 De todo nos corrompemos contra ti, e não guardamos os mandamentos, nem os estatutos, nem os juízos, que ordenaste a Moisés teu servo.

8 Lembra-te pois da palavra que ordenaste a Moisés teu servo, dizendo: Vós transgredireis, e eu vos espalharei entre os povos.

9 E vós vos converteis a mim, e guardareis os meus mandamentos, e os fareis: então, ainda que os vossos rejeitados estejam no cabo do céu, de lá os ajuntarei e os trarei ao lugar que tenho escolhido para li fazer habitar o meu nome.

10 Estes ainda são teus servos e o teu povo que resgataste com a tua grande força e com a tua forte mão.

11 Ah! Senhor, estejam, pois, atentos os teus ouvidos à oração do teu servo, e à oração dos teus servos que desejam temer o teu nome; e faze prosperar hoje o teu servo, e dá-lhe graça perante este homem. Então era eu copeiro do rei.

एज्रा 10 इस्राएलियों ने पश्चाताप किया और अपनी हित्ती पत्नियों को दूर भेज दिया

 एज्रा 10

इस्राएलियों ने पश्चाताप किया और अपनी हित्ती पत्नियों को दूर भेज दिया

1 जब एज्रा ने इस प्रकार प्रार्थना की, और पाप स्वीकार किया, और रोया, और परमेश्वर के भवन के साम्हने गिर पड़ा, तब इस्राएल में से उसके पास पुरुषों, और स्त्रियों, और बालकों की एक बहुत बड़ी मण्डली इकट्ठी हुई, क्योंकि लोग बहुत रो रहे थे।

2 तब एलाम के वंश में से यीएल का पुत्र शकन्याह ने एज्रा से कहा, हम लोगों ने अपने परमेश्वर के विरुद्ध अपराध करके इस देश के लोगों में से अन्यजाति स्त्रियों से विवाह किया है; परन्तु इस विषय में इस्राएल के लिये आशा है।

3 इसलिये अब हम अपने परमेश्वर से यह वाचा बान्धें, कि हम यहोवा की सम्मति के अनुसार और अपने परमेश्वर की आज्ञा सुनकर थरथराते हुओं की सम्मति के अनुसार सब स्त्रियों को और उनके सब जन्मे हुओं को भी दूर कर देंगे; और यह सब व्यवस्था के अनुसार किया जाए।

4 इसलिये उठो, क्योंकि यह मामला तुम्हारा है, और हम तुम्हारे साथ रहेंगे; मजबूत बनो और यह करो.

5 तब एज्रा ने उठकर प्रधान याजकों, लेवियों और सब इस्राएलियों के साम्हने शपथ खाई, कि हम इसी वचन के अनुसार करेंगे; और उन्होंने शपथ ली।

6 तब एज्रा परमेश्वर के भवन के साम्हने से उठकर एल्याशीब के पुत्र योहानान की कोठरी में गया; और वहां पहुंचकर उसने न तो रोटी खाई, और न पानी पिया; क्योंकि वह बन्धुओं के अपराध से घिन करता था।

7 और उन्होंने सारे यहूदा और यरूशलेम में सब लोगों को जो बन्धुआई से लौट आए थे, यह कहला भेजा कि वे यरूशलेम में इकट्ठे हों।

8 और जो कोई हाकिमों और पुरनियों की सम्मति के अनुसार तीन दिन के भीतर न आए, उसकी सारी सम्पत्ति ज़ब्त कर ली जाए, और वह बन्दियों की मण्डली से नाश किया जाए।

9 तब यहूदा और बिन्यामीन के सब लोग तीन दिन के भीतर यरूशलेम में इकट्ठे हुए; यह नौवां महीना था, महीने का बीसवां दिन; और सब लोग परमेश्वर के भवन के चौक में बैठे हुए इस बात के कारण और भारी वर्षा के कारण कांप रहे थे।

10 तब याजक एज्रा ने खड़े होकर उनसे कहा, “तुमने पाप किया है और विदेशी स्त्रियों से विवाह करके इस्राएल का पाप बढ़ाया है।

11 इसलिये अब तुम अपने पूर्वजों के परमेश्वर यहोवा के साम्हने अपना अपराध स्वीकार करो; और उसकी इच्छा पूरी करो; देश देश के लोगों से और पराई स्त्रियों से अलग रहो।

12 तब सारी मण्डली ने ऊंचे शब्द से उत्तर दिया, ऐसा ही हो; तेरे वचनों के अनुसार हमें करना चाहिए।

13 परन्तु लोग बहुत हैं, और वर्षा भी बहुत होगी, और हम बाहर नहीं रह सकते। यह एक या दो दिन का काम नहीं है, क्योंकि हम में से बहुत से लोग इस मामले में अपराध कर चुके हैं।

14 अब सारी मण्डली में हमारे हाकिम इस काम के लिये नियुक्त किए जाएं; और हमारे नगरों में जितने लोगों ने अन्यजाति स्त्रियों से विवाह किया है, वे सब नियत समय पर आएं, और उनके साथ नगर के पुरनिये और न्यायी भी आएं, जब तक कि हम अपने परमेश्वर के भड़के हुए कोप को इस कारण से दूर न कर लें।

15 परन्तु असाहेल का पुत्र योनातान और तिकवा का पुत्र यहजय्याह ही इस काम के अधिकारी थे, और मशुल्लाम और शब्बतै लेवीय उनकी सहायता करते थे।

16 और जो बन्धुआई से लौटे थे उन्होंने भी वैसा ही किया; अर्थात याजक एज्रा और जो पुरुष अपने अपने नाम से पितरों के घरानों के मुख्य पुरुष थे, उन्होंने भी अपने अपने नाम से अलग हो गए; और वे दसवें महीने के पहले दिन इस बात की जांच करने के लिए बैठे।

17 और पहले महीने के पहले दिन तक उन्होंने उन सब पुरुषों का अन्त कर दिया, जिन्होंने अन्यजाति स्त्रियों से विवाह किया था।

18 और याजकों के पुत्रों में से जो अन्यजाति स्त्रियों से ब्याह किए हुए थे, वे ये थे: योसादाक के पुत्र येशू के वंश में से, और उसके भाई मासेयाह, एलीएजेर, यारीब और गदल्याह।

19 और उन्होंने अपनी पत्नियों को त्यागने का हाथ बढ़ाया; और अपने आप को दोषी पाकर, उन्होंने अपने अपराध के बदले में झुण्ड में से एक मेढ़ा बलि चढ़ाया।

20 और इम्मेर की सन्तान में से: हनानी और जबद्याह।

Ezra 10 The Israelites Repent and Put Away Their Hittite Wives

 Ezra 10

The Israelites Repent and Put Away Their Hittite Wives

1 Now when Ezra had prayed thus, and made this confession, weeping, and bowing himself before the house of God, a very great congregation of men, women, and children gathered to him from Israel; for the people wept sorely.

2 Then Shecaniah the son of Jeiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Ezra, "We have transgressed against our God, and have married strange women of the people of the land; but in this matter there is hope for Israel.

3 Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God, that we will put away all the women, and all that are born of them, according to the counsel of the Lord, and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law." 

4 Now therefore arise, for the matter is yours, and we will be with you; be strong and do it.

5 Then Ezra arose, and took an oath to the chief of the priests and the Levites, and to all Israel, that they would do according to this word: and they did so.

6 And Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he ate no bread, and drank no water; for he was disgusted with the transgression of the captives.

7 And they made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the captives, that they should assemble themselves at Jerusalem.

8 And that whosoever did not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and he should be cut off from the assembly of the captives. 

9 Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled in Jerusalem for three days; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the square of the house of God, trembling because of this matter and because of the heavy rain.

10 Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, "You have transgressed and married strange women, increasing the sin of Israel.

11 Now therefore confess to the Lord, the God of your fathers, and do his will; separate yourselves from the people of the lands and from the strange women."

12 And the whole assembly answered and said with a loud voice, "So be it; it is fitting for us to do as you have said.

13 But the people are many, and it is also the time of heavy rain, so that we cannot remain outside; it is not the work of one day or two, for we are many who have transgressed in this matter.

 14 Now let our leaders throughout the congregation be appointed over this matter; and let all who have married foreign women in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of each city and their judges, until the fierce anger of our God for this matter has turned away from us.

15 But only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah were appointed over this matter; and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.

16 And those who had returned from the captivity did so. Then Ezra the priest and the men, heads of the fathers' houses, all by their names, separated themselves and sat down on the first day of the tenth month to inquire into this matter.

17 So they destroyed all the men who had married foreign women by the first day of the first month. 

18 And some of the sons of the priests were found who had married foreign women: of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak and his brothers, Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah.

19 And they pledged their will to put away their wives; and when they found themselves guilty, they offered a ram from the flock for their guilt.

20 And of the sons of Immer: Hanani and Zebadiah.

21 And of the sons of Harim: Maaseiah, and Elijah, and Shemaiah, and Jeiel, and Uzziah.

22 And of the sons of Pashhur: Elioenai, and Maaseiah, and Ishmael, and Nethanel, and Josabad, and Elasah.

23 And of the Levites: Jozabad, and Shimei, and Kelaiah (the same is Kelita), Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer. 

24 And of the singers: Eliashib; and of the gatekeepers: Shallum, and Telem, and Uri.

25 And of Israel, of the sons of Parosh: Ramiah, and Jezziah, and Malchijah, and Mijamin, and Eleazar, and Malchijah, and Benaiah.

26 And of the sons of Elam: Mattaniah, Zechariah, and Jeiel, and Abdi, and Jeremoth, and Elijah.

27 And of the sons of Zattu: Elioenai, and Eliashib, and Mattaniah, and Jeremoth, and Zabad, and Aziza.

28 And of the sons of Bebai: Johanan, and Hananiah, and Zibai, and Atlai.

29 And of the sons of Bani: Meshullam, and Malluch, and Adaiah, and Jashub, and Sheal, and Jeremoth.

30 And of the sons of Pahath-moab: Adnah, and Chelal, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattaniah, Bezaleel, and Binnui, and Manasseh.

31 And of the sons of Harim: Eliezer, Jesiah, Malchijah, Shemaiah, Shimeon,

32 Benjamin, Malluch, and Shemariah.

33 Of the sons of Hashum: Mattnai, Mattatha, Zabad, Eliphelet, Jeremai, Manasseh, and Shimei.

34 Of the sons of Bani: Maadai, Amram, and Uel, 

35 Benaiah, Bediah, Cheluhi, 

36 Vaniah, Meremoth, Eliashib, 

37 Mattaniah, Mattnai, and Jaasai, 

38 And Bani, and Binnui, Shimei, 3

9 And Shemiah, and Nathan, and Adaiah,

41 Azarel, and Shelemiah, Shemariah, 

42 Shallum, Amariah, and Joseph. 

43 Of the sons of Nebo: Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina, Jadai, Joel, and Benaiah. 

44 All these had taken foreign wives; and some of them had wives by whom they had children.

Esdras 10 Os israelitas arrependem-se e despedem suas mulheres hetéias

 

Esdras 10

Os israelitas arrependem-se e despedem suas mulheres hetéias

 

1 E orando Esdras assim, e fazendo esta confissão, chorando, e prostrando-se diante da casa de Deus, ajuntou-se a ele de Israel uma mui grande congregação de homens, e de mulheres, e de crianças; porque o povo chorava com grande choro.

2 Então respondeu Secanias, filho de Jeiel, um dos filhos de Elão, e disse a Esdras: Nós temos transgredido contra o nosso Deus, e casamos com mulheres estranhas do povo da terra, mas, no tocante a isto, há esperança para Israel.

3 Agora pois façamos concerto com o nosso Deus de que despediremos todas as mulheres, e tudo o que é nascido delas, conforme ao conselho do Senhor, e dos que tremem ao mandado do nosso Deus; e faça-se conforme a lei.

4 Levanta-te pois porque te pertence este negócio, e nós seremos contigo, esforça-te, e faze assim.

5 Então Esdras se levantou, e ajuramentou os maiorais dos sacerdotes e dos levitas, e a todo o Israel, de que fariam conforme a esta palavra, e eles juraram.

6 E Esdras se levantou de diante da casa de Deus, e entrou na câmara de Joanã, filho de Eliasibe, e, vindo lá, pão não comeu, e água não bebeu; porque estava anojado pela transgressão dos do cativeiro.

7 E fizeram passar pregão por Judá e Jerusalém a todos os que vieram do cativeiro, para que se ajuntassem em Jerusalém.

8 E que todo aquele que em três dias não viesse, segundo conselho dos príncipes e dos anciãos, toda a sua fazenda se poria em interdito, e ele seria separado da congregação dos do cativeiro.

9 Então todos os homens de Judá e Benjamim em três dias se ajuntaram em Jerusalém; era o nono mês, no dia vinte do mês; e todo o povo se assentou na praça da casa de Deus, tremendo por este negócio e por causa das grandes chuvas.

10 Então se levantou Esdras, o sacerdote, e disse-lhes: Vós tendes transgredido, e casastes com mulheres estranhas, multiplicando o delito de Israel.

11 Agora pois fazei confissão ao Senhor Deus de vossos pais; e fazei a sua vontade; apartai-vos dos povos das terras, e das mulheres estranhas.

12 E respondeu toda a congregação, e disseram em altas vozes: Assim seja, conforme às tuas palavras nos convém fazer.

13 Porém o povo é muito, e também é tempo de grandes chuvas, e não se pode estar aqui fora: nem é obra de um dia nem de dois, porque somos muitos os que transgredimos neste negócio.

14 Ora ponham-se os nossos príncipes por toda a congregação, sobre este negócio; e todos os que em nossas cidades casaram com mulheres estranhas venham em tempos apontados, e com eles os anciãos de cada cidade, e os seus juízes, até que desviemos de nós o ardor da ira do nosso Deus, por esta causa.

15 Porém somente Jônatas, filho de Asael, e Jazeias, filho de Ticvá, se puseram sobre este negócio: e Mesulão, e Sabetai, levita, os ajudaram.

16 E assim o fizeram os que tornaram do cativeiro: e apartaram-se o sacerdote Esdras e os homens, cabeças dos pais, segundo a casa de seus pais, e todos pelos seus nomes; e assentaram-se no primeiro dia do décimo mês, para inquirirem neste negócio.

17 E acabaram com todos os homens que casaram com mulheres estranhas, até o primeiro dia do primeiro mês.

18 E acharam-se dos filhos dos sacerdotes que casaram com mulheres estranhas: Dos filhos de Jesua, filho de Josadaque, e seus irmãos, Maaséias, e Eliézer, e Jaribe, e Gedalias.

19 E deram a sua mão de que despediriam suas mulheres, e achando-se culpados, ofereceram um carneiro do rebanho pelo seu delito.

20 E dos filhos de Imer: Hanani, e Zebadias.

21 E dos filhos de Harim: Maaséias, e Elias, e Semaías, e Jeiel e Uzias.

22 E dos filhos de Pasur: Elioenai, Maaséias, Ismael, Natanael, Josabade e Elasa.

23 E dos levitas: Jozabade, e Simei, e Quelaias (este é Quelita), Petaias, Judá, e Eliézer.

24 E dos cantores: Eliasibe; e dos porteiros: Salum, e Telém e Uri.

25 E de Israel, dos filhos de Parós: Ramias, e Jezias, e Malquias, e Miamim, e Eleazar, e Malquias, e Benaia.

26 E dos filhos de Elão: Matanias, Zacarias, e Jeiel, e Abdi, e Jeremote, e Elias.

27 E dos filhos de Zatu: Elioenai, Eliasibe, Matanias, e Jeremote e Zabade, e Aziza.

28 E dos filhos de Bebai: Joanã, Hananias, Zibai, Atlai.

29 E dos filhos de Bani: Mesulão, Maluque, e Adaías, Jasube, e Seal, Jeremote.

30 E dos filhos de Paate-Moabe: Adna, e Quelal, Benaia, Maaséias, Matanias, Bezaleel, e Binuí, e Manassés.

31 E dos filhos de Harim: Eliézer, Jesias, Malquias, Semaias, Simeão,

32 Benjamim, Maluque, Semarias.

33 Dos filhos de Hasum: Matnai, Matata, Zabade, Elifelete, Jeremai, Manasses, Simei.

34 Dos filhos de Baní: Maadai, Anrão, e Uel,

35 Benaia, Bedias, Queluí,

36 Vanias, Meremote, Eliasibe,

37 Matanias, Matnai, e Jaasai,

38 E Bani, e Binui, Simei,

39 E Semias, e Natã, e Adaías,

40 Macnadbai, Sasai, Sarai,

41 Azarel, e Selemias, Semarias,

42 Salum, Amarias, José.

43 Dos filhos de Nebo: Jeiel, Matitias, Zabade, Zebina, Jadai, Joel, e Benaia.

44 Todos estes tinham tomado mulheres estranhas; e alguns deles tinham mulheres de quem alcançaram filhos.

 

 

एज्रा 09 एज्रा जानता है कि कई इस्राएलियों ने हित्ती स्त्रियों से विवाह किया था और वह परमेश्वर से प्रार्थना करता है तथा अपने पापों को स्वीकार करता है।

 एज्रा 09

एज्रा जानता है कि कई इस्राएलियों ने हित्ती स्त्रियों से विवाह किया था और वह परमेश्वर से प्रार्थना करता है तथा अपने पापों को स्वीकार करता है।

1 जब ये बातें हो चुकीं, तब हाकिम मेरे पास आकर कहने लगे, कि इस्राएली लोग, याजक और लेवीय, अपने देश के लोगों से अलग नहीं हुए, वरन कनानियों, हित्तियों, परिज्जियों, यबूसियों, अम्मोनियों, मोआबियों, मिस्रियों, और एमोरियों के घिनौने कामों पर चलते रहे हैं।

2 क्योंकि उन्होंने उनकी बेटियों को अपने और अपने बेटों के लिये ब्याह लिया, और इस प्रकार पवित्र वंश देश देश के लोगों के साथ मिल गया; और इस अपराध में हाकिमों और शासकों का हाथ भी पहिले था।

3 जब मैंने यह सुना, तो मैंने अपने वस्त्र और बागे फाड़े, अपने सिर और दाढ़ी के बाल नोचे, और अचम्भित होकर बैठ गया।

4 तब जितने लोग बन्दियों के अपराध के कारण इस्राएल के परमेश्वर के वचन सुनकर कांपते थे, वे सब मेरे चारों ओर इकट्ठे हुए; परन्तु मैं संध्या के बलिदान तक विस्मय में बैठा रहा।

5 और सांझ के यज्ञ के समय मैं अपने संकट से उठा, और अपने वस्त्र और बागे को फाड़कर घुटनों के बल गिरा, और हे मेरे परमेश्वर, तेरे साम्हने अपना मुंह फैलाया; क्योंकि हमारे अधर्म के काम हमारे सिर पर बढ़ गए हैं, और हमारा अधर्म स्वर्ग तक पहुंच गया है।

6 और उसने कहा, हे मेरे परमेश्वर! हे मेरे परमेश्वर, मैं तेरी ओर मुंह उठाते लज्जित और लज्जित हूं; क्योंकि हमारे अधर्म के काम हमारे सिर पर बढ़ गए हैं, और हमारा अधर्म स्वर्ग तक पहुंच गया है।

7 हमारे पुरखाओं के दिनों से लेकर आज के दिन तक हम बड़े पाप करते आए हैं, और अपने अधर्म के कारण हम, हमारे राजा और याजक, देश देश के राजाओं के हाथ में सौंप दिए गए हैं; हम तलवार, बंधुआई, लूट और मुंह काला होने के कारण मारे गए हैं, जैसा कि आज हमारी दशा है।

8 और अब हमारे परमेश्वर यहोवा ने थोड़ी देर के लिए हम पर अनुग्रह किया है, कि हम में से थोड़े लोग बच निकलें, और अपने पवित्र स्थान में हमें एक खूंटी दे दी है; हमारी आँखों को रोशन करने के लिए; हे हमारे परमेश्वर, हमें अपनी दासता में थोड़ा सा जीवन दे;

9 क्योंकि हम तो दास हैं; परन्तु दासत्व में हमारे परमेश्वर ने हमें न छोड़ा; परन्तु फारस के राजाओं की दृष्टि में हम पर कृपा की, कि हम को जिलाएं, और हमारे परमेश्वर के भवन को बनाएं, और उसके खण्डहरों को सुधारें; और हमें यहूदा और यरूशलेम में एक दीवार दे।

10 अब हे हमारे परमेश्वर, इसके बाद हम क्या कहें? क्योंकि हम ने तेरी आज्ञाओं को त्याग दिया है;

11 तूने अपने दास भविष्यद्वक्ताओं के द्वारा यह कहला भेजा था, कि जिस देश के अधिकारी होने को तुम जाने पर हो, वह अपने लोगों की अशुद्धता के कारण, और उस में एक छोर से दूसरी छोर तक घृणित वस्तुएं भर देने के कारण अशुद्ध देश है।

12 इसलिये अब तुम अपनी बेटियों को उनके बेटों को न देना, और न सदा उनका कुशल क्षेम चाहना; ताकि तुम बलवान बनो और उस देश की उत्तम उपज खाओ, और उसे सदा के लिए अपने वंश के लिये छोड़ जाओ।

13 और हमारे बुरे कामों और बड़े अपराध के कारण जो कुछ हम पर बीता, तौभी हे परमेश्वर, तू ने हमें हमारे अधर्म के कारण नाश होने से बचा लिया, और हमें ऐसा छुटकारा दिया है,

14 क्या हम फिर तेरी आज्ञाओं को तोड़कर उन घृणित काम करने वालों के समान हो जाएं? क्या तुम तब तक हम पर क्रोधित नहीं रहोगे जब तक कि तुम हमें पूरी तरह से नष्ट नहीं कर दोगे, जब तक कि कोई भी शेष न बचे और कोई भी बचने वाला न बचे?

15 आह! हे इस्राएल के परमेश्वर यहोवा, तू तो धर्मी है, क्योंकि हम आज बच निकले हैं; देख, हम पाप सहित तेरे सम्मुख हैं; क्योंकि इस कारण कोई भी तेरे साम्हने खड़ा नहीं रह सकेगा।

 Ezra 09

Ezra knows that many Israelites married Hittite women and prays and confesses to God

1 When these things were finished, the princes came to me and said, "The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of these lands, but have followed the abominations of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites;

2 For they took some of their daughters for themselves and for their sons, and so the holy seed mixed with the people of these lands; and even the hand of the princes and rulers was the first in this transgression.

3 When I heard this, I tore my garment and my cloak, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astonished.

 4 Then all who trembled at the words of the God of Israel because of the transgression of the captives gathered around me, but I sat there in amazement until the evening sacrifice. 

5 And at the time of the evening sacrifice I arose from my distress, having torn my garment and my cloak, and fell upon my knees, and spread out my face to you, my God, for our iniquities have increased over our head, and our guilt has reached to the heavens. 

6 And I said, "My God, I am ashamed and ashamed to lift up my face to you, my God, for our iniquities have increased over our head, and our guilt has reached to the heavens." 

7 Since the days of our fathers even to this day we have been in great guilt, and because of our iniquities we, our kings, and our priests have been delivered into the hands of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to plunder, and to confusion of face, as it is this day. 

8 And now, as for a little while, grace has been shown to us by the Lord our God, to leave us a few to escape, and to give us a peg in his holy place, to give us light to our eyes, O our God, and to give us a little life in our bondage. 

9 For we are servants, and our God did not forsake us in our bondage, but extended kindness to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to revive us, to build up the house of our God, and to repair its ruins, 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 through your servants the prophets, saying, “The land, which you are entering to possess, is an unclean land because of the uncleanness of its people, because of the abominations with which they have filled it from one end to the other in their corruption. 

12 Now therefore, you shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor shall you seek their peace and their welfare for ever; that you may be strong and eat the good of the land, and leave it as a possession for your children forever. 

13 And after all that has happened to us because of our evil deeds and our great guilt, yet you, O God, have kept us from being destroyed because of our iniquity, and have given us such a deliverance as this. 

14 Shall we now again break your commandments and have intermarriage with the people of these abominations? Would you not be so angry with us until you had completely consumed us, until there was no remnant or survivor?

15 Ah, Lord God of Israel, you are righteous, for we have escaped, as we have done today. We are here before you in our sin, for there is no one who can stand before you because of this.

Esdras 09

Esdras sabe que muitos israelitas casaram com mulheres hetéias e faz oração e confissão a Deus

 

1 Acabando pois estas coisas, chegaram-se a mim os príncipes dizendo: O povo de Israel, e os sacerdotes, e os levitas, não se tem separado dos povos destas terras, seguindo as abominações dos cananeus, dos heteus, dos ferizeus, dos jebuseus, dos amonitas, dos moabitas, dos egípcios, e dos amorreus;

2 Porque tomaram das suas filhas para si e para seus filhos, e assim se misturou a semente santa com os povos destas terras: e até a mão dos príncipes e magistrados foi a primeira nesta transgressão.

3 E, ouvindo eu tal coisa, rasguei o meu vestido e o meu manto, e arranquei os cabelos da minha cabeça e da minha barba, e me assentei atônito.

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 me fiquei assentado atônito até ao sacrifício da tarde.

5 E perto do sacrifício da tarde me levantei da minha aflição, havendo já rasgado o meu vestido e o meu manto, e me pus de joelhos, e estendi a ti a minha face, meu Deus: porque as nossas iniqüidades se multiplicaram sobre a nossa cabeça, e a nossa culpa tem crescido até aos céus.

6 E disse: Meu Deus! Estou confuso e envergonhado, para levantar a ti a minha face, meu Deus: porque as nossas iniqüidades se multiplicaram sobre a nossa cabeça, e a nossa culpa tem crescido até aos céus.

7 Desde os dias de nossos pais até ao dia de hoje estamos em grande culpa, e por causa das nossas iniqüidades fomos entregues, nós, os nossos reis, e os nossos sacerdotes, na mão dos reis das terras, à espada, ao cativeiro, e ao roubo, e à confusão do rosto, como hoje se vê.

8 E agora, como por um pequeno momento, se nos fez graça da parte do Senhor, nosso Deus, para nos deixar alguns que escapem, e para dar-nos uma estaca no seu santo lugar; para nos alumiar os olhos; ó Deus nosso, e para nos dar uma pouca de vida na nossa servidão;

9 Porque servos somos; porém na nossa servidão não nos desamparou o nosso Deus; antes estendeu sobre nós beneficência perante os reis da Pérsia, para revivermos, para levantarmos a casa do nosso Deus, e para restaurarmos as suas assolações; e para que nos desse uma parede em Judá e em Jerusalém.

10 Agora pois, ó nosso Deus, que diremos depois disto? Pois deixamos os teus mandamentos;

11 Os quais mandaste pelo ministério de teus servos, os profetas, dizendo: A terra em que entrais para a possuir, terra imunda é pelas imundícias dos seus povos, pelas abominações com que, na sua corrupção, a encheram, duma extremidade à outra.

12 Agora pois, vossas filhas não dareis a seus filhos, e nunca procurareis a sua paz e o seu bem; para que vos fortaleçais, e comais o bem da terra, e a façais possuir 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 Deus, estorvaste que fôssemos destruídos, por causa da nossa iniquidade, e ainda nos deste livramento como este;

14 Tornaremos pois agora a violar os teus mandamentos, e a aparentar-nos com os povos destas abominações? Não te indignarias tu assim contra nós até de todo nos consumires, até que não ficasse resto nem quem escapasse?

15 Ah! Senhor Deus de Israel, justo és, pois ficamos escapos, como hoje se vê; eis que estamos diante de ti no nosso delito; porque ninguém há que possa estar na tua presença por causa disto.
