نَحَمْيَا 8
| ٱجْتَمَعَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ كَرَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى ٱلسَّاحَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَامَ بَابِ ٱلْمَاءِ وَقَالُوا لِعَزْرَا ٱلْكَاتِبِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ بِسِفْرِ شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١ 1 |
And when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their towns. And all the people came together like one man into the wide place in front of the water-doorway; and they made a request to Ezra the scribe that he would put before them the book of the law of Moses which the Lord had given to Israel.
| فَأَتَى عَزْرَا ٱلْكَاتِبُ بِٱلشَّرِيعَةِ أَمَامَ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ وَٱلنِّسَاءِ وَكُلِّ فَاهِمٍ مَا يُسْمَعُ، فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّابِعِ. | ٢ 2 |
And Ezra the priest put the law before the meeting of the people, before the men and women and all those who were able to take it in, on the first day of the seventh month.
| وَقَرَأَ فِيهَا أَمَامَ ٱلسَّاحَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَامَ بَابِ ٱلْمَاءِ، مِنَ ٱلصَّبَاحِ إِلَى نِصْفِ ٱلنَّهَارِ، أَمَامَ ٱلرِّجَالِ وَٱلنِّسَاءِ وَٱلْفَاهِمِينَ. وَكَانَتْ آذَانُ كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ نَحْوَ سِفْرِ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ. | ٣ 3 |
He was reading it in the wide place in front of the water-doorway, from early morning till the middle of the day, in the hearing of all those men and women whose minds were able to take it in; and the ears of all the people were open to the book of the law.
| وَوَقَفَ عَزْرَا ٱلْكَاتِبُ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ ٱلْخَشَبِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلُوهُ لِهَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ، وَوَقَفَ بِجَانِبِهِ مَتَّثْيَا وَشَمَعُ وَعَنَايَا وَأُورِيَّا وَحِلْقِيَّا وَمَعْسِيَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَدَايَا وَمِيشَائِيلُ وَمَلْكِيَّا وَحَشُومُ وَحَشْبَدَّانَةُ وَزَكَرِيَّا وَمَشُلَّامُ. | ٤ 4 |
And Ezra the scribe took his place on a tower of wood which they had made for the purpose; and by his side were placed Mattithiah and Shema and Anaiah and Uriah and Hilkiah and Maaseiah on the right; and on the left, Pedaiah and Mishael and Malchijah and Hashum and Hashbaddanah, Zechariah and Meshullam.
| وَفَتَحَ عَزْرَا ٱلسِّفْرَ أَمَامَ كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ فَوْقَ كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ. وَعِنْدَمَا فَتَحَهُ وَقَفَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ. | ٥ 5 |
And Ezra took the book, opening it before the eyes of all the people (for he was higher than the people); and when it was open, all the people got to their feet:
| وَبَارَكَ عَزْرَا ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْإِلَهَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ. وَأَجَابَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «آمِينَ، آمِينَ!» رَافِعِينَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ، وَخَرُّوا وَسَجَدُوا لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٦ 6 |
And Ezra gave praise to the Lord, the great God. And all the people in answer said, So be it, so be it; lifting up their hands; and with bent heads they gave worship to the Lord, going down on their faces to the earth.
| وَيَشُوعُ وَبَانِي وَشَرَبْيَا وَيَامِينُ وَعَقُّوبُ وَشَبْتَايُ وَهُودِيَّا وَمَعْسِيَا وَقَلِيطَا وَعَزَرْيَا وَيُوزَابَادُ وَحَنَانُ وَفَلَايَا وَٱللَّاوِيُّونَ أَفْهَمُوا ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلشَّرِيعَةَ، وَٱلشَّعْبُ فِي أَمَاكِنِهِمْ. | ٧ 7 |
And Jeshua and Bani and Sherebiah and Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites made the law clear to the people: and the people kept in their places.
| وَقَرَأُوا فِي ٱلسِّفْرِ، فِي شَرِيعَةِ ٱللهِ، بِبَيَانٍ، وَفَسَّرُوا ٱلْمَعْنَى، وَأَفْهَمُوهُمُ ٱلْقِرَاءَةَ. | ٨ 8 |
And they gave out the words of the book the law of God, clearly, and gave the sense of it, so that their minds were able to take it in.
| وَنَحَمْيَا أَيِ ٱلتِّرْشَاثَا، وَعَزْرَا ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلْكَاتِبُ، وَٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ ٱلْمُفْهِمُونَ ٱلشَّعْبَ قَالُوا لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمُ مُقَدَّسٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، لَا تَنُوحُوا وَلَا تَبْكُوا». لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلشَّعْبِ بَكَوْا حِينَ سَمِعُوا كَلَامَ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ. | ٩ 9 |
And Nehemiah, who was the Tirshatha, and Ezra, the priest and scribe, and the Levites who were the teachers of the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to the Lord your God; let there be no sorrow or weeping; for all the people were weeping on hearing the words of the law.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱذْهَبُوا كُلُوا ٱلسَّمِينَ، وَٱشْرَبُوا ٱلْحُلْوَ، وَٱبْعَثُوا أَنْصِبَةً لِمَنْ لَمْ يُعَدَّ لَهُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْيَوْمَ إِنَّمَا هُوَ مُقَدَّسٌ لِسَيِّدِنَا. وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا، لِأَنَّ فَرَحَ ٱلرَّبِّ هُوَ قُوَّتُكُمْ». | ١٠ 10 |
Then he said to them, Go away now, and take the fat for your food and the sweet for your drink, and send some to him for whom nothing is made ready: for this day is holy to our Lord: and let there be no grief in your hearts; for the joy of the Lord is your strong place.
| وَكَانَ ٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ يُسَكِّتُونَ كُلَّ ٱلشَّعْبِ قَائِلِينَ: «ٱسْكُتُوا، لِأَنَّ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُقَدَّسٌ فَلَا تَحْزَنُوا». | ١١ 11 |
So the Levites made all the people quiet, saying, Be quiet, for the day is holy; and do not give way to grief.
| فَذَهَبَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ لِيَأْكُلُوا وَيَشْرَبُوا وَيَبْعَثُوا أَنْصِبَةً وَيَعْمَلُوا فَرَحًا عَظِيمًا، لِأَنَّهُمْ فَهِمُوا ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَّمُوهُمْ إِيَّاهُ. | ١٢ 12 |
And all the people went away to take food and drink, and to send food to others, and to be glad, because the words which were said to them had been made clear.
| وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّانِي ٱجْتَمَعَ رُؤُوسُ آبَاءِ جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ إِلَى عَزْرَا ٱلْكَاتِبِ لِيُفْهِمَهُمْ كَلَامَ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ. | ١٣ 13 |
And on the second day the heads of families of all the people and the priests and the Levites came together to Ezra the scribe, to give attention to the words of the law.
| فَوَجَدُوا مَكْتُوبًا فِي ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى أَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يَسْكُنُونَ فِي مَظَالَّ فِي ٱلْعِيدِ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّابِعِ، | ١٤ 14 |
And they saw that it was recorded in the law that the Lord had given orders by Moses, that the children of Israel were to have tents for their living-places in the feast of the seventh month:
| وَأَنْ يُسْمِعُوا وَيُنَادُوا فِي كُلِّ مُدُنِهِمْ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ قَائِلِينَ: «ٱخْرُجُوا إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ وَأْتُوا بِأَغْصَانِ زَيْتُونٍ وَأَغْصَانِ زَيْتُونٍ بَرِّيٍّ وَأَغْصَانِ آسٍ وَأَغْصَانِ نَخْلٍ وَأَغْصَانِ أَشْجَارٍ غَبْيَاءَ لِعَمَلِ مَظَالَّ، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ». | ١٥ 15 |
And that they were to give out an order, and make it public in all their towns and in Jerusalem, saying, Go out to the mountain and get olive branches and branches of field olives and of myrtle, and palm branches and branches of thick trees, to make tents, as it says in the book.
| فَخَرَجَ ٱلشَّعْبُ وَجَلَبُوا وَعَمِلُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ مَظَالَّ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى سَطْحِهِ، وَفِي دُورِهِمْ، وَدُورِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ، وَفِي سَاحَةِ بَابِ ٱلْمَاءِ، وَفِي سَاحَةِ بَابِ أَفْرَايِمَ. | ١٦ 16 |
And the people went out and got them and made themselves tents, every one on the roof of his house, and in the open spaces and in the open squares of the house of God, and in the wide place of the water-doorway, and the wide place of the doorway of Ephraim.
| وَعَمِلَ كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّاجِعِينَ مِنَ ٱلسَّبْيِ مَظَالَّ، وَسَكَنُوا فِي ٱلْمَظَالِّ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ هَكَذَا مِنْ أَيَّامِ يَشُوعَ بْنِ نُونٍ إِلَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَكَانَ فَرَحٌ عَظِيمٌ جِدًّا. | ١٧ 17 |
All the people who had been prisoners and had come back, made tents and were living in them: for from the time of Jeshua, the son of Nun, till that day, the children of Israel had not done so. And there was very great joy.
| وَكَانَ يُقْرَأُ فِي سِفْرِ شَرِيعَةِ ٱللهِ يَوْمًا فَيَوْمًا مِنَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ إِلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَخِيرِ. وَعَمِلُوا عِيدًا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّامِنِ ٱعْتِكَافٌ حَسَبَ ٱلْمَرْسُومِ. | ١٨ 18 |
And day by day, from the first day till the last, he was reading from the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast for seven days: and on the eighth day there was a holy meeting, as it is ordered in the law.
