以斯拉記 9	Ezra 9
以斯拉記 9:1 ^ 這事作完了、眾首領來見我、說、以色列民和祭司、並利未人、沒有離絕迦南人、赫人、比利洗人、耶布斯人、亞捫人、摩押人、埃及人、亞摩利人、仍效法這些國的民、行可憎的事。	Ezra 9:1 ^ 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.
以斯拉記 9:2 ^ 因他們為自己和兒子、娶了這些外邦女子為妻、以致聖潔的種類和這些國的民混雜．而且首領和官長、在這事上為罪魁。	Ezra 9:2 ^ 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.
以斯拉記 9:3 ^ 我一聽見這事、就撕裂衣服和外袍、拔了頭髮和鬍鬚、驚懼憂悶而坐。	Ezra 9:3 ^ 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.
以斯拉記 9:4 ^ 凡為以色列　神言語戰兢的、都因這被擄歸回之人所犯的罪、聚集到我這裡來．我就驚懼憂悶而坐、直到獻晚祭的時候。	Ezra 9:4 ^ 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.
以斯拉記 9:5 ^ 獻晚祭的時候我起來、心中愁苦、穿著撕裂的衣袍、雙膝跪下向耶和華我的　神舉手、	Ezra 9:5 ^ 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;
以斯拉記 9:6 ^ 說、我的　神阿、我抱愧蒙羞、不敢向我　神仰面、因為我們的罪孽滅頂、我們的罪惡滔天。	Ezra 9:6 ^ 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.
以斯拉記 9:7 ^ 從我們列祖直到今日、我們的罪惡甚重、因我們的罪孽、我們和君王、祭司、都交在外邦列王的手中、殺害、擄掠、搶奪、臉上蒙羞、正如今日的光景。	Ezra 9:7 ^ 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.
以斯拉記 9:8 ^ 現在耶和華我們的　神暫且施恩與我們、給我們留些逃脫的人、使我們安穩如釘子釘在他的聖所、我們的　神好光照我們的眼目、使我們在受轄制之中稍微復興。	Ezra 9:8 ^ 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.
以斯拉記 9:9 ^ 我們是奴僕、然而在受轄制之中、我們的　神仍沒有丟棄我們、在波斯王眼前向我們施恩、叫我們復興、能重建我們　神的殿、修其毀壞之處、使我們在猶大和耶路撒冷有牆垣。	Ezra 9:9 ^ 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.
以斯拉記 9:10 ^ 我們的　神阿、既是如此、我們還有甚麼話可說呢．因為我們已經離棄你的命令、	Ezra 9:10 ^ And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments,
以斯拉記 9:11 ^ 就是你藉你僕人眾先知所吩咐的、說、你們要去得為業之地是污穢之地、因列國之民的污穢、和可憎的事、叫全地從這邊直到那邊、滿了污穢。	Ezra 9:11 ^ 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:
以斯拉記 9:12 ^ 所以不可將你們的女兒嫁他們的兒子、也不可為你們的兒子娶他們的女兒、永不可求他們的平安、和他們的利益、這樣你們就可以強盛、喫這地的美物、並遺留這地給你們的子孫永遠為業。	Ezra 9:12 ^ 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.
以斯拉記 9:13 ^ 　神阿、我們因自己的惡行和大罪、遭遇了這一切的事、並且你刑罰我們輕於我們罪所當得的、又給我們留下這些人．	Ezra 9:13 ^ 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,
以斯拉記 9:14 ^ 我們豈可再違背你的命令、與這行可憎之事的民結親呢、若這樣行、你豈不向我們發怒、將我們滅絕、以致沒有一個剩下逃脫的人麼。	Ezra 9:14 ^ 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?
以斯拉記 9:15 ^ 耶和華以色列的　神阿、因你是公義的、我們這剩下的人纔得逃脫、正如今日的光景．看哪、我們在你面前有罪惡、因此無人在你面前站立得住。	Ezra 9:15 ^ 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.
