1
And after that these things were fulfilled, the princes nighed to me, that is, to Ezra, and said, The people of Israel, and the priests, and deacons, be not separated from the peoples of (the) lands, and from [the] abominations of them, that is, of Canaanites, of Hittites, and of Perizzites, and of Jebusites, and of Ammonites, and of Moabites, and of Egyptians, and of Amorites. (And after that these things were finished, the leaders came to me, Ezra, and said, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not set themselves apart from the peoples of these lands, that is, from the Canaanites, and Hittites, and Perizzites, and Jebusites, and Ammonites, and Moabites, and Egyptians, and Amorites, and from all their abominations.)
2
For they have taken of their daughters wives to themselves, and to their sons, and they have meddled holy seed with the peoples of (the) lands; also the hand of (the) princes and of (the) magistrates was the first in this trespassing. (For they have taken their daughters as wives for themselves, and for their sons as well, and they have mixed, or mingled, holy seed with the peoples of these lands; yea, the hands of the leaders and of the magistrates were the first in this trespass.)
3
And when I had heard this word, I rent my mantle and my coat, and I pulled away the hairs of mine head and of my beard, and I sat mourning. (And when I had heard this, I tore my cloak and my coat, and I pulled away the hairs of my head and of my beard, and I sat down mourning.)
4
Forsooth all that dreaded the word of (the) God of Israel came together to me, for the trespassing of them that were come from [the] captivity; and I sat sorry till to the sacrifice of eventide (And all who feared the word/who revered the word of the God of Israel came together to me, because of the trespassing of those who were come from the captivity; and I sat in despair until the evening sacrifice.)
5
And in the sacrifice of eventide I rose up from mine affliction, and after that I had rent my mantle and my coat (And at the evening sacrifice I rose up from my affliction, and after that I had torn my cloak and my coat), I bowed my knees, and I spreaded abroad mine hands to the Lord my God,
6
and I said, My God, I am confounded and ashamed to raise up my face to thee, for our wickednesses be multiplied on mine head, and our trespasses have increased unto heaven, (and I said, My God, I am shamed and ashamed to raise up my face to thee, for our wickednesses be multiplied upon our heads, and our trespasses have increased unto the heavens,)
7
from the days of our fathers hitherto; and also we ourselves have sinned grievously unto this day, and for our wickednesses we, and our kings, and our priests be betaken into the hands of kings of heathen lands, both into sword, and into captivity, into raven, and into shame of cheer, as also in this day. (from the days of our forefathers unto now; for we ourselves have grievously sinned, and because of our wickednesses we, and our kings, and our priests, have been delivered into the hands of the kings of heathen lands, yea, unto the sword, and into captivity, and unto robbing, or pillage, and unto the shame of our face, as it is this very day.)
8
And now as at a little time and at a moment our prayer is made with the Lord our God, that [the] relics, or remnants, should be left to us, and that a little stake, that is, some setting, and stableness, should be given in his holy place, and that our God should lighten our eyes, and give to us a little life in our servage. (But now, for a little moment, the Lord our God hath been gracious to us, and a remnant hath escaped, and he hath given us a little stake, that is, some place of settling, and of stability, in this his Holy Place, and our God hath enlightened our eyes, and he hath given us a little life in the midst of our servitude, or our slavery.)
9
For we be servants; and our God forsook us not in our servage/in our thralldom; and he bowed down mercy upon us before the king(s) of Persia, that he should give life to us, and (so we could) enhance the house of our God, and that he should build (again) the wildernesses thereof, or the desolate things thereof, and give to us hope, or mercy, in Judah and in Jerusalem. (For we be slaves; but our God hath not left us in our servitude, or our slavery; but he bowed down mercy upon us from the kings of Persia, to give life to us, so that we could rebuild the House of our God, and repair its ruins, and so give us a wall of defence, or a safe place, here in Judah and in Jerusalem.)
10
And now, Lord our God, what shall we say after these things? For we have forsaken thy commandments,
11
which thou commandedest in the hand of thy servants (the) prophets, and saidest, The land, to which ye shall enter, to hold it in possession, is an unclean land, by the uncleanness of peoples, and of other lands, in the abominations of them, that (have) filled it with their defouling, from the mouth till to the mouth. (which thou commandedest by thy servants the prophets, and saidest, The land, to which ye shall enter to have for a possession, is an unclean land, because of the uncleanness and the abominations of the people there, from other lands, who have filled it with their defiling, from one end to the other.)
12
Now therefore, ye Jews, give ye not your daughters to their sons, nor take ye their daughters to your sons; nor seek ye the peace of them, nor their prosperity unto without end; that ye be comforted, and eat the good things, that be of the earth, and that ye have your sons (as) your heirs, unto without end (so that ye be strengthened, and eat the good things of the land, and that ye leave it for an inheritance to your sons forevermore).
13
And after all things, or dis-eases, that came upon us in our worst works, and in our great trespass, thou, our God, hast delivered us from our wickedness, and hast given health to us, as it is today, (And though much suffering came upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, thou, our God, hast not punished us as we deserved, but thou hast rescued us, or hast saved us, from our wickedness, and hast given us the deliverance, which we have today,)
14
that we should not be turned away from thee, and make void thy commandments, and that we should not join matrimonies with the peoples of these abominations. Whether thou art wroth to us till to the ending, that thou shouldest not leave to us remnants, that is, a few men, and health? (so now should we turn away from thee, and make void thy commandments, and join matrimonies with the peoples of these abominations? Nay! For wouldest thou not then be angry with us unto the end, so that thou wouldest leave no remnant, that is, even a few people, who would survive?)
15
Lord God of Israel, thou art just; for we be left, that should be saved, as in this day, lo! we be before thee in our sin; for men may not stand before thee on this thing. (Lord God of Israel, thou art righteous; we who be left, be but a remnant, that thou hast let survive, unto this day; lo! we be before thee in our sin; but because of it we cannot stand before thee.)
1
And Ezra rising up from the fore-porch (or the court) of the temple, went into the cell (or the room) of Johanan, the son of Eliasibus.
2
And he harboured there, tasted no bread, nor drank water, for the wickednesses of the multitude. [And harboured there, he tasted no bread, nor water drank, upon the wickednesses of the multitude.]
3
And there was made a preaching in all Judea and in Jerusalem, to all that were of the captivity (that they should be) gathered (together) in Jerusalem,
4
(And) Whosoever again-cometh not to the second or the third day, after the doom of the elder men sitting, his faculties shall be taken away, and (that) he be deemed alien (or stranger, or cast out) from the multitude of the captivity.
5
And all, that were of the lineage(s) of Judah and Benjamin, were gathered together, three days (later) in Jerusalem; this is the ninth month, the twentieth day of the month.
6
And all the multitude sat in the floor (or in the open space) of the temple, trembling for winter then being [or trembling for the present winter].
7
And Ezra rising up, said to Israel, Ye have done wickedly, setting to you into matrimony heathen wives, (so) that ye add to the sins of Israel.
8
And now give ye to the Lord God of our fathers confession, and great worthiness; [And now giveth shrift, and great doing to the Lord God of our fathers;]
9
and perform ye his will, and goeth away from the heathen folk of the land, and from heathen wives.
10
And all the multitude cried, and they said with a great (or with a loud) voice, We shall do, as thou hast said. [And all the multitude cried, and they said with a great voice, As thou hast said, we shall do.]
11
But for the multitude is great, and the time is winter, and we may not stand unholpen, [or unhelped], (or without help), and this work is not to (or for) us of one day, nor of two; (for) much we have sinned in these things;
12
therefore stand the provosts of the multitude, and all that dwell with us, and how many ever have with them heathen wives;
13
and stand they nigh in the time that is taken [or and stand they nigh in the accept(able) time of (or in) all place(s)], priests, and doomsmen, till that they lose (or turn away) the wrath of the Lord, of this need (or over this matter).

And Ezra, (the) priest, chose to him(self) men, (the) great princes, of the fathers of them, after the names; and they sat together, in the new moon of the tenth month, to examine this need (or this matter).

of the sons of Jesus, (or Jeshua, or Joshua), the son of Josedek, and of his brethren, Mathelas, and Eleazar, and Joribus, and Joadanus.

And they laid (or put up) their hands, that they should (or would) put away their wives, and for to sacrifice a ram, into prayer for their ignorance.
21
And of the sons of Emmer, Ananias, and Zabdaeus, and Manes, and Samaeus, and Jereel, (and) Azarias;

And of the deacons [or the Levites], Jozabadus, and Semis, and Colius, who was called Calitas, and Phathaeus, and Judas, and Jonas.
25
And of the ushers, Sallumus, and Tolbanes. (And of the porters, or the door-keepers, Shallum, and Telem.)

31
And of the sons of Addi, Naathus, and Moossias, and Laccunus, and Naidus, (and) Matthanias, and Sesthel, and Balnuus, and Manasseas.

36
All (of) these (had) joined to them(selves) heathen wives, and (now) left them (or let them go), (along) with their sons.
37
And (the) priests, and deacons, and they that were of Israel, dwelled in Jerusalem in an one region (or dwelled in Jerusalem, and its vicinity), (in) the new moon of the seventh month; and the sons of Israel were in their abidings. [And priests, and Levites, and they that were of Israel, dwelt in Jerusalem in one whole region, the new moon of the seventh month; and the sons of Israel were in their abidings.]
38
And all the multitude gathered together in the floor (or in the open space), that is from the east of the hallowed [or the sacred] gate.
39
And they said to Ezra, (the) bishop and reader, that he should bring forth the law of Moses, that was given of (or by) the Lord God of Israel.
40
And Ezra, the bishop, brought forth the law to all the multitude of them, from man unto woman, and to all the priests, to hear the law, in the new moon of the seventh month.
41
And he read in the floor (or in the open space), that is before the holy gate of the temple, from the first light of the day unto even(ing), before men and women; and all they gave wit, (or thought, or understanding) to the law.
42
And Ezra, the priest, and reader of the law, stood [up] upon the treen (or the wooden) chair, that was made therefore.
43
And there stood with him Mattathias, and Sammus, and Ananias, Azariah, Uriah, Hezekiah, and Baalsamus, at the right side;
45
And Ezra took a book before all the multitude; forsooth he sat before in worship (or in honour), in the sight of all.
46
And when he had assoiled the law (or And when he had opened, or had expounded upon, the law), all they stood upright. And Ezra blessed the Lord God, alder-Highest God of (the) Sabbath, Almighty, or all mighty.
47
And all the people answered, Amen. And again they raised up their hands, and falling down unto the earth, they honoured (or they worshipped) the Lord.
48
And Ezra commanded, that these should teach the law, Jesus, (or Jeshua, or Joshua), and Annus, and Sarabias, and Jadinus, and Jacubus, and Sabbataeas, and Autaeas, and Maeannas, and Calitas, and Azarias, and Jozabdus, and Ananias, and Phiathas, (the) deacons [or Levites]. The which taught the law of the Lord, and in (or to) the multitude they read the law of the Lord; and each by himself, that understood the lesson, told it before them [or The which taught the law of the Lord, and in the multitude read the law of the Lord; and each put before them, that understood the lesson].
49
And Attharates said to Ezra (or And the governor said to Ezra), the bishop and reader, and to the Levites that taught the multitude, saying,
51
And Ezra said, Ye therefore, after ye be gone atwain [or Ye then, gone atwain], eateth all most fat things, and drinketh all most sweet, and send ye gifts to them that have not;
52
forsooth this day of the Lord is holy [or forsooth holy is this day of the Lord]; and be ye not sorry, the Lord forsooth shall clarify us (or for the Lord shall glorify us).
53
And the deacons [or the Levites] denounced (or And the Levites announced), or showed, openly to all men, saying, This day is holy; will ye not (to) be sorry (or resolve not to be sorrowful).
54
And then all they went away, to eat, and to drink, and to have plenty of meat (or food), and to give gifts to them that have not, whereof to eat plenteously. [And all went away, to eat, and to drink, and to have plenty of meat, and to give gifts to them that have not, that they plenteously eat (too).]
55
Greatly forsooth they be enhanced in the words, with the which they be taught. And all they were gathered into Jerusalem, to make solemn the gladness, after the testament of the Lord God of Israel.
