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 |
all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the broad place that was before the water gate; and they spoke unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded 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 brought the Law before the congregation, both men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon 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 |
And he read therein before the broad place that was before the water gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women, and of those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto 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 stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Uriah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, 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 opened the book in the sight of all the people — for he was above all the people — and when he opened it, all the people stood up.
| وَبَارَكَ عَزْرَا ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْإِلَهَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ. وَأَجَابَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «آمِينَ، آمِينَ!» رَافِعِينَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ، وَخَرُّوا وَسَجَدُوا لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٦ 6 |
And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered: 'Amen, Amen', with the lifting up of their hands; and they bowed their heads, and fell down before the LORD with their faces to the ground.
| وَيَشُوعُ وَبَانِي وَشَرَبْيَا وَيَامِينُ وَعَقُّوبُ وَشَبْتَايُ وَهُودِيَّا وَمَعْسِيَا وَقَلِيطَا وَعَزَرْيَا وَيُوزَابَادُ وَحَنَانُ وَفَلَايَا وَٱللَّاوِيُّونَ أَفْهَمُوا ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلشَّرِيعَةَ، وَٱلشَّعْبُ فِي أَمَاكِنِهِمْ. | ٧ 7 |
Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, even the Levites, caused the people to understand the Law; and the people stood in their place.
| وَقَرَأُوا فِي ٱلسِّفْرِ، فِي شَرِيعَةِ ٱللهِ، بِبَيَانٍ، وَفَسَّرُوا ٱلْمَعْنَى، وَأَفْهَمُوهُمُ ٱلْقِرَاءَةَ. | ٨ 8 |
And they read in the book, in the Law of God, distinctly; and they gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
| 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 the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people: 'This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep.' For all the people wept, when they heard 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 unto them: 'Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy unto our Lord; neither be ye grieved; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.'
| وَكَانَ ٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ يُسَكِّتُونَ كُلَّ ٱلشَّعْبِ قَائِلِينَ: «ٱسْكُتُوا، لِأَنَّ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُقَدَّسٌ فَلَا تَحْزَنُوا». | ١١ 11 |
So the Levites stilled all the people, saying: 'Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved.'
| فَذَهَبَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ لِيَأْكُلُوا وَيَشْرَبُوا وَيَبْعَثُوا أَنْصِبَةً وَيَعْمَلُوا فَرَحًا عَظِيمًا، لِأَنَّهُمْ فَهِمُوا ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَّمُوهُمْ إِيَّاهُ. | ١٢ 12 |
And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.
| وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّانِي ٱجْتَمَعَ رُؤُوسُ آبَاءِ جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ إِلَى عَزْرَا ٱلْكَاتِبِ لِيُفْهِمَهُمْ كَلَامَ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ. | ١٣ 13 |
And on the second day were gathered together the heads of fathers' houses of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even 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 found written in the Law, how that the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths 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 should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying: 'Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and branches of wild olive, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.'
| 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 |
So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the broad place of the water gate, and in the broad place of the gate 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 |
And all the congregation of them that were come back out of the captivity made booths, and dwelt in the booths; for since the days of Joshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.
| 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 |
Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the Law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto the ordinance.
