ULT And Ezra rose up from before the face of the house of God, and he went to the chamber of Jehohanan, the son of Eliashib. And he went there. He did not eat bread and he did not drink water, but was mourning on account of the unfaithfulness of the exiles.

מִ⁠לִּ⁠פְנֵי֙ בֵּ֣ית הָֽ⁠אֱלֹהִ֔ים

from=to/for=face/front/presence house_of the=ʼₑlhīmv

As in 10:1, face here means the front of a place. Alternate translation: “from in front of the temple”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יֵּ֕לֶךְ אֶל־לִשְׁכַּ֖ת יְהוֹחָנָ֣ן בֶּן־אֶלְיָשִׁ֑יב

and=he/it_went to/towards chamber Jehohanan son_of Eliashib

As in 8:29, chamber means a room, and in context here it seems to refer similarly to one of the rooms in the temple. Eliashib was the high priest, and so it is probable that one of his family members would have had a room there. The book does not say why Ezra went to one of the rooms in the temple, but the implication is that he did so in order to meet further with the community leaders and make plans for the assembly that the following verses describe. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “and he went to one of the rooms in the temple, the one that belonged to Jehohanan the grandson of Eliashib, to meet further with the leaders to make plans to call an assembly of all the returned exiles”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יְהוֹחָנָ֣ן בֶּן־אֶלְיָשִׁ֑יב

Jehohanan son_of Eliashib

Jehohanan was actually the grandson of Eliashib, so son means “descendant.” Alternate translation: “Jehohanan, the grandson of Eliashib”

Note 4 topic: translate-names

יְהוֹחָנָ֣ן & אֶלְיָשִׁ֑יב

Jehohanan & Eliashib

These are the names of two men.

וַ⁠יֵּ֣לֶךְ שָׁ֗ם לֶ֤חֶם לֹֽא־אָכַל֙ וּ⁠מַ֣יִם לֹֽא־שָׁתָ֔ה

and=he/it_went there food/grain/bread not eat and=water not drink

Here the book leaves out some of the words that would ordinarily be needed in order to express a complete meaning. Alternate translation: “And when he went there, he did not eat bread or drink water”

Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

לֶ֤חֶם לֹֽא־אָכַל֙ וּ⁠מַ֣יִם לֹֽא־שָׁתָ֔ה כִּ֥י מִתְאַבֵּ֖ל עַל־מַ֥עַל הַ⁠גּוֹלָֽה

food/grain/bread not eat and=water not drink that/for/because/then/when mourning on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in unfaithfulness the,exiles

If it would be helpful in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the action that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “Because he was still grieving over the way the Jews who had returned to their homeland had disobeyed, he did not eat bread or drink water.”

Note 7 topic: translate-symaction

לֶ֤חֶם לֹֽא־אָכַל֙ וּ⁠מַ֣יִם לֹֽא־שָׁתָ֔ה כִּ֥י מִתְאַבֵּ֖ל עַל־מַ֥עַל הַ⁠גּוֹלָֽה

food/grain/bread not eat and=water not drink that/for/because/then/when mourning on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in unfaithfulness the,exiles

Not eating or drinking was a symbolic action whose purpose was to show that Ezra was grieving over the disobedience of the exiles. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “To show that he was still grieving over the way that the Jews who had returned to their homeland had disobeyed, he did not eat or drink anything”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

לֶ֤חֶם לֹֽא־אָכַל֙ וּ⁠מַ֣יִם לֹֽא־שָׁתָ֔ה

food/grain/bread not eat and=water not drink

The book is using bread, one kind of food, to represent all food, and it is using water, one kind of drink, to represent all drink. Alternate translation: “He did not eat or drink anything”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מַ֥עַל הַ⁠גּוֹלָֽה

unfaithfulness the,exiles

Here, unfaithfulness means disobedience. Alternate translation: “the way that the Jews who had returned to their homeland had disobeyed God”

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מַ֥עַל הַ⁠גּוֹלָֽה

unfaithfulness the,exiles

The abstract noun exiles describes the Jews who had returned to their homeland from Babylon. (The term seems to be equivalent to the longer phrase “the sons of the exile” that is used in several places in the book, including in the next verse.) If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the idea behind this term with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “the way the Jews who had returned to their homeland had disobeyed God”
