I will try, Father Z., but a good part of it is guessing!
The commemoration of St. Esdras, priest and scribe, who at the time of
Artaxerxes, king of Persia, congregated and brought back from Babylon to Judea the dispersed
people who were dispersed, and who investigated, implemented and taught Israel
the law of the Lord.
Am I too far off?
Mila: Good attempt. I am not sure about the “the dispersed people who were dispersed”, however.
Another thing to attend to: When the main verb is in the past (perfect, in this case, congregavit… enisus est) and there is an ut clause with the imperfect subjunctive, that imperfect subjective sounds future, rather like “in order that he would….” The imperfect as a future sound to it compared to the perfect.
Wanna give it another try?
Fr. Z., sorry for the “dispersed people who were dispersed”! I don’t know what I was thinking.
But here goes, again:
The commemoration of St. Esdras, priesta and scribe, who at the time of Artaxerxes, king of Persia, congregated and brought back to Judea the people
who were dispersed, so that he would investigate, implement and teach Israel the law of the Lord.
Is that better? Mind you, my knowledge of Latin is rather limited and I don’t have a dictionary.
Mila: No need to apologize! I too occasionally use rented fingers when posting things.
Here is my version:
The commmemoration of Saint Ezra, priest and scribe, who in the time of Artaxerxes the King of the Persians, returning from Babylon to Judea gathered together and led forth the People that had been dispersed, so that he might investigate, fulfill and teach the Law of the Lord in Israel.
