英文原文
Ezr 10:1-17.
EZRA REFORMS THE STRANGE MARRIAGES.
1. Now when Ezra had prayed--As this prayer was uttered in public, while there was a general concourse of the people at the time of the evening sacrifice and as it was accompanied with all the demonstrations of poignant sorrow and anguish, it is not surprising that the spectacle of a man so respected, a priest so holy, a governor so dignified as Ezra, appearing distressed and filled with fear at the sad state of things, should produce a deep sensation; and the report of his passionate grief and expressions in the court of the temple having rapidly spread through the city, a great multitude flocked to the spot.

2-4. 示迦尼……回答說，我們得罪了神——此人是眾領袖之一，他本人在此事上並非有過失之人，因為下文名單中並沒有他的名字。他是在全體百姓的名義下發言，他的舉動既顯出良心敏銳，也顯出不小的勇氣提出這樣的建議；因為他的父親和五位叔伯
（Ezr 10:26）
都牽涉在違法婚姻的罪中，他所提出的措施表明，他認為寧可順服神，勝過討最近親屬的喜悅。
然而以色列人還有指望——但這指望端在於及時採取改革的措施，因此他勸勉他們不要陷於絕望或頹喪，而要立即糾正過錯，過去的則仰賴神的憐憫。這建議雖似乎苛刻無情，但在猶太人特殊的處境中，既屬必要也屬正當；他促使以斯拉督辦此事，因為唯有以斯拉才能勝任——他具備處理如此微妙艱難之事的才幹與手腕，且蒙神所賦、並在神之下由波斯王
（Ezr 7:23-28）
所賜予執行此事所必需的權柄。
英文原文
2-4. Shechaniah . . . answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed--This was one of the leading men, who was not himself a delinquent in the matter, for his name does not occur in the following list. He spoke in the general name of the people, and his conduct evinced a tender conscience, as well as no small fortitude in making such a proposal; for as his father and five paternal uncles
(Ezr 10:26)
were involved in the guilt of unlawful marriages, he showed, by the measure he recommended, that he deemed it better to obey God than to please his nearest relatives.
yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing--This hope, however, depended on timely measures of reformation, and therefore, instead of surrendering themselves to despair or despondency, he counselled them to amend their error without delay, relying on God's mercy for the past. Though the proposal may seem harsh and cruel, yet in the peculiar circumstances of the Jews it was just as well as necessary; and he urged the duty of seeing it executed on Ezra, as the only person competent to carry it into effect, being possessed of skill and address for so delicate and difficult a work, and invested by God, and under Him by the Persian king
(Ezr 7:23-28),
with the requisite authority to enforce it.

5-8. 於是以斯拉……進了約哈難的房間——在以斯拉主持下，眾首領和長老在那裡召開了一次私下會議，決定訂立一個共同的約，休掉外邦妻兒；並下令通告一切從巴比倫歸回的人，限三日內到耶路撒冷集合，違者將被逐出會眾並沒收家產。
英文原文
5-8. Then Ezra . . . went into the chamber of Johanan--At a private council of the princes and elders held there, under the presidency of Ezra, it was resolved to enter into a general covenant to put away their foreign wives and children; that a proclamation should be made for all who had returned from Babylon to repair within three days to Jerusalem, under pain of excommunication and confiscation of their property.

9-11. 於是猶大和便雅憫眾人——歸回的被擄之民主要屬於這兩個支派；但其他以色列人也都包括在這些名稱之下，因為他們當時都居住在原先分配給這兩支派的領土之內。
那時是九月——相當於十二月底至一月初之間，正是巴勒斯坦一年中最寒冷、雨水最多的時節。
眾百姓都坐在街上——即院子裡。
英文原文
9-11. Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin--The returned captives belonged chiefly to these tribes; but other Israelites are also included under these names, as they all were then occupying the territory formerly assigned to those two tribes.
It was the ninth month--that is, between the end of December and the beginning of January, which is the coldest and most rainy season of the year in Palestine.
all the people sat in the street--that is, the court.

10-17. 祭司以斯拉站起來，說——他既已充分說明了他們罪惡的嚴重性，並力勸他們解除違法的婚姻關係，所得的響應令他十分欣慰：他們立即承認其責備的公義，並答應遵從他的建議。但因天氣不佳，且違例者人數太多，不能一次會審完畢，遂決定設立一個委員會，徹查整個事件。這些委員在各城的士師和長老協助之下，對每件案子都進行了詳盡的調查，經過三個月的工作，徹底清除了這弊端的痕跡。毫無疑問，對於所休棄的妻兒，都按丈夫的財力與情況作了適當的供給。
英文原文
10-17. Ezra the priest stood up, and said--Having fully represented the enormity of their sin and urged them to dissolve their unlawful connections, he was gratified by receiving a prompt acknowledgment of the justice of his reproof and a promise of compliance with his recommendation. But as the weather was ungenial and the defaulters were too numerous to be passed in review at one time, it was resolved that a commission should be appointed to examine into the whole matter. These commissioners, assisted by the judges and elders of the respective cities, made a minute investigation into every case, and after three months' labor completely removed all traces of the abuse. Doubtless, an adequate provision was made for the repudiated wives and children, according to the means and circumstances of the husbands.

THOSE THAT HAD TAKEN STRANGE WIVES.
18. among the sons of the priests--From the names of so many men of rank appearing in the following list, some idea may be formed of the great and complicated difficulties attending the reformatory work.

這些有罪的祭司宗族與平民以色列人
（Ezr 10:25）
一樣保證同樣行，並獻一隻公綿羊為贖愆祭，以求贖罪。

(Pr 6:1; Eze 17:18).
The delinquents of the priestly order bound themselves to do like the common Israelites
(Ezr 10:25),
and sought to expiate their sin by sacrificing a ram as a trespass offering.

Ezr 10:1-17.
以斯拉改革異族婚姻
1. 以斯拉禱告、認罪、哭泣——因為這禱告是在眾民於晚祭之時聚集的公開場合中獻上的，又伴隨種種深切悲痛哀傷的表現，所以像以斯拉這樣一位如此受人敬重的人、如此聖潔的祭司、如此尊貴的省長，竟因境況的淒惨而顯出憂懼不安，這番景象自然產生極大的震動；他在聖殿院中極其傷痛的表現和言語迅速傳遍全城，於是大批群眾蜂擁而至這地方。
