Liber I Esdrae

Sic ergo orante Esdra, et implorante eo et flente, et jacente ante templum Dei, collectus est ad eum de Israël cœtus grandis nimis virorum et mulierum et puerorum, et flevit populus fletu multo.

Now when Esdras was thus praying, and beseeching, and weeping, and lying before the temple of God, there was gathered to him of Israel an exceeding great assembly of men and women and children, and the people wept with much lamentation.

Sic ergo ora Esdra, et implora eo et fle, et iace ante templo de Deo, collige es ad illo de Israële coetu grandi nimis de viros et de mulieres et de pueros, et populo fle fletu multo.

Et respondit Sechenias filius Jehiel de filiis Ælam, et dixit Esdræ: Nos prævaricati sumus in Deum nostrum, et duximus uxores alienigenas de populis terræ: et nunc, si est pœnitentia in Israël super hoc,

And Sechenias the son of Jehiel of the sons of Elam answered, and said to Esdras: We have sinned against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: and now if there be repentance in Israel concerning this,

Et Secheniases filio Iehiele de filios Aelase responde, et dic de Esdrah: nos praevaricor es in Deo nostro, et duc uxores alienigenas de populos de terra: et nunc, si poenitentia es in Israële super hoc,

percutiamus fœdus cum Domino Deo nostro, ut projiciamus universas uxores, et eos qui de his nati sunt, juxta voluntatem Domini, et eorum qui timent præceptum Domini Dei nostri: secundum legem fiat.

Let us make a covenant with the Lord our God, to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the will of the Lord, and of them that fear the commandment of the Lord our God: let it be done according to the law.

Percute foedere cum Domino Deo nostro, ut proiici universa uxores, et illos qui de hoc nato es, juxta voluntate de Domino, et de illos qui time praecepto de Domino de Deo nostro: secundo lege que fi.

Surge, tuum est decernere, nosque erimus tecum: confortare, et fac.

Arise, it is thy part to give orders, and we will be with thee: take courage, and do it.

Surge, tuo es decerne, et nos es tecum: conforta, et fac.

Surrexit ergo Esdras, et adjuravit principes sacerdotum et Levitarum, et omnem Israël, ut facerent secundum verbum hoc: et juraverunt.

So Esdras arose, and made the chiefs of the priests and of the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word, and they swore.

Esdrase ergo surge, et adiura principes de sacerdotes et de Levites, et omni Israële, ut fac secundo verbo hoc: et iura.

Et surrexit Esdras ante domum Dei, et abiit ad cubiculum Johanan filii Eliasib, et ingressus est illuc: panem non comedit, et aquam non bibit: lugebat enim transgressionem eorum, qui venerant de captivitate.

And Esdras rose up from before the house of God, and went to the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliasib, and entered in thither: he ate no bread, and drank no water: for he mourned for the transgression of them that were come out of the captivity.

Et Esdrase surge ante domo de Deo, et i ab ad cubiculo Iohanase de filio Eliasibe, et ingredior es illuc: pane non comede, et aqua non bibe: luge nam transgressione de illos, qui veni de captivitate.

Et missa est vox in Juda et in Jerusalem omnibus filiis transmigrationis, ut congregarentur in Jerusalem:

And proclamation was made in Juda and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should assemble together into Jerusalem.

Et mitte es voce in Iuda et in Ierusalem ad omni filios de transmigratione, ut congrega in Ierusalem:

et omnis qui non venerit in tribus diebus juxta consilium principum et seniorum, auferetur universa substantia ejus, et ipse abjicietur de cœtu transmigrationis.

And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the ancients, all his substance should be taken away, and he should be cast out of the company of them that were returned from captivity.

Et omni qui non veni in tre die juxta consilio de principes et de sene, universa substantia de illo aufer, et ipso abeaci de coetu de transmigratione.

Convenerunt igitur omnes viri Juda et Benjamin in Jerusalem tribus diebus: ipse est mensis nonus, vigesimo die mensis: et sedit omnis populus in platea domus Dei, trementes pro peccato, et pluviis.

Then all the men of Juda, and Benjamin gathered themselves together to Jerusalem within three days, in the ninth month, the twentieth day of the month: and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of the sin, and the rain.

Omni ergo viros Iuda et Beniamine conveni in Ierusalem tre die: ipso es mense nono, vigesimo die de mense: et omni populo sede in platea de domo de Deo, treme pro peccato, et pluvias.

Et surrexit Esdras sacerdos, et dixit ad eos: Vos transgressi estis, et duxistis uxores alienigenas, ut adderetis super delictum Israël.

And Esdras the priest stood up, and said to them: You have transgressed, and taken strange wives, to add to the sins of Israel.

Et Esdrase sacerdote surge, et dic ad illos: vos transgredior es, et duc uxores alienigenas, ut adde super delicto Israële.

Et nunc date confessionem Domino Deo patrum vestrorum, et facite placitum ejus, et separamini a populis terræ, et ab uxoribus alienigenis.

And now make confession to the Lord the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure, and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from your strange wives.

Et nunc da confessione ad Domino ad Deo de patres vestro, et fac place de illo, et separa ab populos de terra, et ab uxores alienigeno.

Et respondit universa multitudo, dixitque voce magna: Juxta verbum tuum ad nos, sic fiat.

And all the multitude answered and said with a loud voice: According to thy word unto us, so be it done.

Et universa multitudine responde, et dic voce magna: juxta verbo tuo ad nos, sic que fi.

Verumtamen quia populus multus est, et tempus pluviæ, et non sustinemus stare foris, et opus non est diei unius vel duorum (vehementer quippe peccavimus in sermone isto),

But as the people are many, and it is time of rain, and we are not able to stand without, and it is not a work of one day or two, (for we have exceedingly sinned in this matter,)

Verumtamen quia populo multo es, et tempore de pluvia, et non sustine sta foris, et opere non es de die de uno vel de duo (vehementer quippe pecca in sermone isto),

constituantur principes in universa multitudine: et omnes in civitatibus nostris qui duxerunt uxores alienigenas veniant in temporibus statutis, et cum his seniores per civitatem et civitatem, et judices ejus, donec avertatur ira Dei nostri a nobis super peccato hoc.

Let rulers be appointed in all the multitude: and in all our cities, let them that have taken strange wives come at the times appointed, and with them the ancients and the judges of every city, until the wrath of our God be turned away from us for this sin.

Principes constitue in universa multitudine: et omni in civitates nostro qui duc uxores alienigenas veni in tempores statue, et cum hoc sene per civitate et civitate, et iudices de illo, usque que ira de Deo nostro averte ab nos super peccato hoc.

Igitur Jonathan filius Azahel, et Jaasia filius Thecue, steterunt super hoc, et Messollam et Sebethai Levites adjuverunt eos:

Then Jonathan the son of Azahel, and Jaasia the son of Thecua were appointed over this, and Mesollam and Sebethai, Levites, helped them:

Ergo Ionathane filio Azahele, et Iaasia filio Thecue, sta super hoc, et Messolla et Sebethao Levite adiuva illos:

feceruntque sic filii transmigrationis. Et abierunt Esdras sacerdos, et viri principes familiarum, in domos patrum suorum, et omnes per nomina sua, et sederunt in die primo mensis decimi ut quærerent rem.

And the children of the captivity did so. And Esdras the priest, and the men heads of the families in the houses of their fathers, and all by their names, went and sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.

Et filios sic de transmigratione fac. Et i ab Esdrase sacerdote, et viros principes de familias, in domos de patres suo, et omni per nomines suo, et sede in die primo de mense de decimo ut quaere re.

Et consummati sunt omnes viri, qui duxerant uxores alienigenas, usque ad diem primam mensis primi.
