וַיַּֽעֲנוּ כׇֽל־הַקָּהָל וַיֹּאמְרוּ קוֹל גָּדוֹל כֵּן (כדבריך) [כִּדְבָרְךָ] עָלֵינוּ לַעֲשֽׂוֹת׃
And all the congregation answered and said in a loud voice: Yes, as you say, so must we do.
And all the congregation answered and said in a loud voice: Yes, as you say, so must we do.
אֲבָל הָעָם רָב וְהָעֵת גְּשָׁמִים וְאֵין כֹּחַ לַעֲמוֹד בַּחוּץ וְהַמְּלָאכָה לֹֽא־לְיוֹם אֶחָד וְלֹא לִשְׁנַיִם כִּֽי־הִרְבִּינוּ לִפְשֹׁעַ בַּדָּבָר הַזֶּֽה׃
But the people are many, and it is a time of rain, and they have no strength to stand outside, and the work is not for one day and not for two, for we have offended profusely in this thing.

והמלאכה. והרחקת עבירה זו אין אתה יכול לתקן כל כך במהירות:
and the work And this separation from sin cannot be executed so quickly.
יַֽעַמְדוּ־נָא שָׂרֵינוּ לְֽכׇל־הַקָּהָל וְכֹל ׀ אֲשֶׁר בֶּעָרֵינוּ הַהֹשִׁיב נָשִׁים נׇכְרִיּוֹת יָבֹא לְעִתִּים מְזֻמָּנִים וְעִמָּהֶם זִקְנֵי־עִיר וָעִיר וְשֹׁפְטֶיהָ עַד לְהָשִׁיב חֲרוֹן אַף־אֱלֹהֵינוּ מִמֶּנּוּ עַד לַדָּבָר הַזֶּֽה׃ {ס}
Let, now, our chiefs stand with all the congregation, and let all [i.e., each one] in our cities who has taken foreign women into his house come at designated times, and with them, the elders of each city and its judges, until the wrath of our G-d is removed from us, until [the elimination of] this thing.
