¹

So when Esdras had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and praying before the house of God, a very great assembly of Israel came together to him, men and women and youths; for the people wept, and wept aloud.

¹

И$ ја%ко моля'шеся е%здра. въпроша'ющи б~а и^ пла'чющи лежа'ше преD цр~ковїю бж~їею” И$ собра'но е^сть к немђ эT і^и^л~я собранїе ве'лїе ѕњ'ло, мђж'и и^ же'ны и^ ѓ'троки. и^ ја%ко пла'кахђся лю'дїе, и^ възнесе'ся пла'чъ”

²

And Sechenias the son of Jeel, of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Esdras, We have broken covenant with our God, and have taken strange wives of the nations of the land: yet now there is patience of hope to Israel concerning this thing.

²

И$ эTвњща` сехенїя сн~ъ и^е^и'левъ эT сн~овъ и^л#ла'мъ. и^ рече е^здре” Мы престђпи'хомъ преD бг~омъ на'шимъ. и^ поја^хом# же'ны чюждїа эT людїи земли`. и^ нн~њ да е^сть долготерпе'нїе въ і^и^л~и”

³

Now then let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and their offspring, as thou shalt advise:

³

Сего ра'ди и^ завњща'емъ завњтъ съ гм~ъ бг~омъ на'шимъ. да эTве'ржемъ вс^и же'ны, и^ тњ'хъ и^же эT тњ'хъ рожде'ны сђть. ја%ко хо'щеши, въста'ни и^ ё^стро'иши повеле'нїе г~а б~а на'шего. и^ по зако'нђ да бђ'детъ.

⁴

arise, and alarm them with the commands of our God; and let it be done according to the law. Rise up, for the matter is upon thee; and we are with thee: be strong and do.

⁴

въста'ни, поне'же на тебњ е^сть гл~ъ. мы же бђ'демъ с тобо'ю. ё^крњпи'ся и^ сътвори`”

⁵

Then Esdras arose, and caused the rulers, the priests, and Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word: and they swore.

⁵

И$ въста'въ ё^бо е%здра и^ закля` кн~ѕисщ~ен#ническїя и^ левљ=ты, и^ всего і^и^л~я. да сътво'рятъ по сло'вђ томђ`, и^ кля'шася”

⁶

And Esdras rose up from before the house of God, and went to the treasury of Joanan the son of Elisub; he even went thither: he ate no bread, and drank no water; for he mourned over the unfaithfulness of them of the captivity.

⁶

И$ воста` е%здра эT лица` до'мђ бж~їя, і^ и'де въ сокро'вищныи до'мъ. и^а^н#на'нъ сн~ъ е^лисђѓ'въ и^ а^зи'въ. и^ преста` т^ђ. хлњ'ба не ја%сть и^ воды` не пи'тъ, тђжа'ше б^о престђпле'нїя и^хъ, и^же прїидо'ша эT плњне'нїя”

⁷

And they made proclamation throughout Juda and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should assemble at Jerusalem, saying,

⁷

И$ послано е^сть сло'во въ і^ё^де'ю и^ въ і^ерsлимъ, всњ'мъ сн~овомъ преселе'нїя, да съберђтся въ і^ерsлимъ”

⁸

Every one who shall not arrive within three days, as is the counsel of the rulers and the elders, all his substance shall be forfeited, and he shall be separated from the congregation of the captivity.

⁸

И$ вся'къ и^же не прїидетъ въ тр^и дн~и по совњтђ кн~ѕїи и^ ста'рцевъ. во'змется вс^е и^мњ'нїе е^го. и^ то'и эTлђче'нъ бђ'детъ эT соньмища преселе'нїя”

⁹

So all the men of Juda and Benjamin assembled at Jerusalem within the three days. This was the ninth month: on the twentieth day of the month all the people sat down in the street of the house of the Lord, because of their alarm concerning the word, and because of the storm.

⁹

И$ събра'шася вс^и лю'дїе і^ё^дины и^ венїами'ни въ і^ерsлимъ. тре'ми дн~ьми. и^же е^сть мцsъ, џ~. к~ го дн~я мцsа. и^ сњдо'ша вс^и лю'дїе на преD домоM бж~їиM ѓ^ дрожа'нїя вся'къ и^же не прїидетъ въ тр^и дн~и по совњтђ кн~ѕїи и^ ста'рцевъ. во'змется вс^е и^мњ'нїе е^го. и^ то'и эTлђче'нъ бђ'детъ эT соньмища преселе'нїя” И$ събра'шася вс^и лю'дїе і^ё^дины и^ венїами'ни въ і^ерsлимъ. тре'ми дн~ьми. и^же е^сть мцsъ, џ~. к~ го дн~я мцsа. и^ сњдо'ша вс^и лю'дїе на преD домоM бж~їиM ѓ^ дрожа'нїя за грњ'хъ и^ съ зимо'ю”

¹⁰

And Esdras the priest arose, and said to them, Ye have broken covenant, and have taken strange wives, to add to the trespass of Israel.

¹⁰

И$ въста` е%здра сщ~енникъ и^ рече к ниM, вы престђпи'сте и^ взя'сте же'ны и^ноплеме'н#нически. да не приложи'те на грњхъ і^и~л~ю”

¹¹

Now therefore give praise to the Lord God of our fathers, and do that which is pleasing in his sight: and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the strange wives.

¹¹

И$ нн~њ дади'те хвалђ г~ђ б~ђ эTц~ъ вашиX. и^ сътворите ё^гоDное преD ни'мъ. и^ эTлђчи'теся эT людїи земли`. и^ эT же'нъ и^ноплеме'н#ническъ”

¹²

Then all the congregation answered and said, This thy word is powerful upon us to do it.

¹²

И$ эTвњща'ша вс^е мно'жество рекђщи гла'сомъ вели'кимъ. по сло'вђ твое^мђ к на'мъ та'ко бђ'ди”

¹³

But the people is numerous, and the season is stormy, and there is no power to stand without, and the work is more than enough for one day or for two; for we have greatly sinned in this matter.

¹³

ѓ^ба'че лю'дїе мно'ѕи сђть, и^ вре'мя снњж'но. и^ нњ'сть мо'щно стоя'ти внњ`. и^ дњ'ло нњ'сть дн~и е^ді'наго и^ли двђ`. ѕњ'ло б^о съгрњши'хомъ въ словеси` се'мъ.

¹⁴

Let now our rulers stand, and for all those in our cities who have taken strange wives, let them come at appointed times, and with them elders from every several city, and judges, to turn away the fierce wrath of our God from us concerning this matter.

¹⁴

да ста'нђтъ кн~ѕи на'ши въ все'мъ мно'жествњ, и^ вс^и и^же въ гра'дехъ на'шихъ и^же въведо'ша же'ны и^ноплеме'нничи, да прїидетъ вре'мя повеле'н#ное. и^ с ни'ми ста'рцы эT граD, и^ сђдїи эT граD. е%же ѓ^братити ја%рость б~а на'шего эT насъ грњха` ра'ди сего”

¹⁵

Only Jonathan the son of Asael, and Jazias the son of Thecoe were with me concerning this; and Mesollam, and Sabbathai the Levite helped them.

¹⁵

Сего ра'ди і^ и^ѓа^наџа'нъ сн~ъ а^са'їи^нъ. и^ а^саїя сн~ъ џекђе'въ съ мно'ю ста'ша и^ мосол#ла'мъ и^ севеха'и левљ=ти помога'ша и^мъ.

¹⁶

And the children of the captivity did thus: and Esdras the priest, and heads of families according to their house were separated, and all by their names, for they returned in the first day of the tenth month to search out the matter.

¹⁶

сътвори'ша та'ко сн~ове преселе'нїя” И$ эTлђчи` е%здра сщ~енъникъ и^ мђж'и, кн~ѕи ѓ^би'телни въ домы` эTц~ъ свои^х#, и^ вс^и по и^менехъ свои^хъ. ја%ко ѓбрати'шася въ дн~ь пе'рвыи, мцsа, і~ го. да взы'щђтъ гл~а”

¹⁷

And they made an end with all the men who had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month.

¹⁷

И$ сконча'ша вс^и мђж'и, и^же въведо'ша же'ны и^ноплемеnничи да'же до дн~е, а~ го, мцsа, а~ го.

¹⁸

And there were found some of the sons of the priests who had taken strange wives: of the sons of Jesus the son of Josedec, and his brethren; Maasia, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gadalia.

¹⁸

и^ ѓ^брњте'ни сђть эT сн~овъ сщ~ен#ническиX и^же въведо'ша же'ны и^ноплеме'нничи, эT сн~овъ і^и^ѓ^сђе', сн~а и^ѓ^седе'кова и^ бра'тїя е^го маа^сїя, и^ е^лїезе'ръ и^ ја^риM, и^ гада'лїя.

¹⁹

And they pledged themselves to put away their wives, and offered a ram of the flock for a trespass-offering because of their trespass.

¹⁹

и^ да'ша рђ'цњ себњ, да и^зго'нятъ же'ны своя. престђпле'нїя ра'ди свое^го. ѓ%вны эT ѓ^ве'цъ да принесђтъ”
