Ezra 9:1
简体中文
英文原文
Abominations - The mixed marriages had prevented that complete separation of the people of God from the idolatrous rites, or "abominations," which the Law required, and which was necessary for purity of religion. See 1 Kings 11:2 note.

Ezra 9:3
简体中文
用手拔头发，在古典时代的诸民族中十分常见；相比之下，亚洲民族行此事的记载则颇为少见。
英文原文
Plucking out the hair with the hands, so common among the Classical nations, is, comparatively speaking, rarely mentioned as practiced by Asiatics.
7
Ezra 9:7
简体中文
尼希米的认罪祷告(Neh 9:29-35)与但以理的认罪祷告（见边注），在语气上与此十分相似。被掳成就了它的工作：它使这个先前如此骄傲、自以为义的民族深深知罪。
英文原文
Very similar in tone to this are the confessions of Nehemiah Neh 9:29-35 and of Daniel (see the marginal references). The captivity had done its work by deeply convincing of sin the Jewish nation that had previously been so proud and self-righteous.
8
Ezra 9:8
简体中文
“暂时”——从大利乌第二年(Ezra 4:24)算起，这段“片时”超过60年；从古列元年(Ezra 1:1)算起，则约有80年。在以斯拉看来，这在一个民族的“一生”中似乎不算太长。
“留下逃脱的人”——更恰当的译法是“逃脱而存留的余民”。这“余民”就是从被掳之地归回的新群体。
“钉子”——可参看边注及相关参照。这个比喻大概取自帐棚的橛子，橛子被钉入地里，为要使帐棚稳固牢靠。
英文原文
The "little space" was above 60 years, counting from the second year of Darius Ezra 4:24, or about 80 years, counting from the first year of Cyrus Ezra 1:1. This does not seem to Ezra much in the "lifetime" of a nation.
A remnant to escape - Rather, "a remnant that has escaped." The "remnant" is the new community that has returned from the captivity.
A nail - Compare the marginal note and reference. The metaphor is probably drawn from a tent-pin, which is driven into the earth to make the tent firm and secure.
9
Ezra 9:9
简体中文
“我们本是奴仆”——更恰当的读法是“我们是奴仆”（参看边注）。以色列人虽已从被掳之地归回，却仍是“奴仆”；波斯君主乃是他们绝对的管辖者和主人。
英文原文
We were bondmen - Rather, "we are bondmen" (compare the marginal reference). The Israelites, though returned from the captivity, were still "bondmen." The Persian monarch was their absolute lord and master.
11
Ezra 9:11
简体中文
“说”——本节以下的话并非引自先前任何一卷圣经书卷，而只是概述众多经文的大意。可参看边注。
英文原文
Saying - The words which follow in this verse are not quoted from any previous book of Scripture, but merely give the general sense of numerous passages. Compare the marginal references.
13
Ezra 9:13
简体中文
“拯救”——或作“余民”，如 Ezra 9:8 的译法。
英文原文
Deliverance - Or, "remnant," as in Ezra 9:8.
15
Ezra 9:15
简体中文
暂无译文。
英文原文
Some take "righteous" to mean here "kind" or "merciful." Others give it the more usual sense of "just," and understand the full meaning of the passage to be, "Thou art righteous, and hast punished us, because of our sin, the contraction of forbidden marriages, so that we are a mere remnant of what was once a great people."
“可憎的事”——与外族通婚阻碍了神的子民完全脱离偶像崇拜的仪式，即“可憎的事”；这种分离是律法所要求的，也是信仰纯洁性所必需的。参 1 Kings 11:2 注释。
