| 5 | Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they should do according to this word.

| 10 | And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel. | Puis Esdras, le sacrificateur, se leva et leur dit: Vous avez péché, en prenant chez vous des femmes étrangères, et vous avez ainsi rendu Israël plus coupable. | And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have trespassed, and have married foreign women, to increase the guilt of Israel. |
| 11 | Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives. | Mais maintenant, faites la confession de votre faute à l'Éternel, le Dieu de vos pères, et faites sa volonté. Séparez-vous des peuples du pays et des femmes étrangères. | Now therefore make confession unto Jehovah, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women. |

| 13 | But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing. | Mais le peuple est nombreux, et c'est le temps des pluies, et il n'y a pas moyen de se tenir dehors; et ce n'est pas une affaire d'un jour, ni de deux; car nous sommes un grand nombre qui avons péché dans cette affaire. | But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without: neither is this a work of one day or two; for we have greatly transgressed in this matter. |
| 14 | Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them which have taken strange wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter be turned from us. | Que nos chefs de toute l'assemblée demeurent donc; et que tous ceux qui dans nos villes ont introduit chez eux des femmes étrangères, viennent à des époques déterminées, avec les anciens et les juges de chaque ville, jusqu'à ce que l'ardeur de la colère de notre Dieu au sujet de cette affaire, se soit détournée de nous. | Let now our princes be appointed for all the assembly, and let all them that are in our cities that have married foreign women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God be turned from us, until this matter be despatched. |
| 15 | Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah were employed about this matter: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them. | Il n'y eut que Jonathan, fils d'Asaël, et Jachzia, fils de Thikva, qui s'opposèrent à cela; et Méshullam et Shabbéthaï, le Lévite, les appuyèrent. | Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this [matter]: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them. |
