Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
So sollt ihr nun nicht eure Töchter ihren Söhnen geben, und ihre Töchter nicht für eure Söhne nehmen; und ihr sollt ihren Frieden und ihr Wohl nicht suchen ewiglich: damit ihr stark seiet und das Gut des Landes esset und es auf eure Söhne vererbet ewiglich.
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
Ahora pues, no daréis vuestras hijas á los hijos de ellos, ni sus hijas tomaréis para vuestros hijos, ni procuraréis su paz ni su bien para siempre; para que seáis corroborados, y comáis el bien de la tierra, y la dejéis por heredad á vuestros hijos para siempre.
Bíblia Livre (BL)Português
Agora, pois, não dareis vossas filhas aos seus filhos, nem tomareis suas filhas para vossos filhos, e nunca procurareis sua paz nem seu bem; para que vos fortaleçais, e comais o bem da terra, e a deixeis por herança a vossos filhos para sempre.
Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Agora, então, não entregueis vossas filhas aos filhos deles; não tomeis as suas filhas para vossos filhos e não busqueis acrescentar-lhes paz e bem-estar, para que sejais fortes e comais do melhor da terra. Assim, vossos descendentes possuirão a terra para todo o sempre'.
📖 Ezra 9:12 in Context
10And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments,
11Which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness.
12Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth 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.
13And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this;
14Should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping?
