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 wide place that was in front of the water gate; and they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the scroll of the Torah 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 |
Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly, both men and women, and all who could hear with understanding, 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 read from it before the wide place that was in front of the water gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women, and of those who could understand. The ears of all the people were attentive to the scroll of the Torah.
| 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 |
Ezra the scribe stood on a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam.
| وَفَتَحَ عَزْرَا ٱلسِّفْرَ أَمَامَ كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ فَوْقَ كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ. وَعِنْدَمَا فَتَحَهُ وَقَفَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ. | ٥ 5 |
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 |
Then Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. All the people answered, “Amen, Amen,” with the lifting up of their hands. They bowed their heads, and worshipped 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 Yeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law; and the people stayed in their place.
| وَقَرَأُوا فِي ٱلسِّفْرِ، فِي شَرِيعَةِ ٱللهِ، بِبَيَانٍ، وَفَسَّرُوا ٱلْمَعْنَى، وَأَفْهَمُوهُمُ ٱلْقِرَاءَةَ. | ٨ 8 |
They read in the book, in the law of God, distinctly; and they gave the sense, so that they understood 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 |
Nehemiah, who was the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, “Today is holy to the LORD your God. Don’t mourn, 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 to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared, for today is holy to our Lord. Don’t be 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 calmed all the people, saying, “Hold your peace, for the day is holy. Don’t be grieved.”
| فَذَهَبَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ لِيَأْكُلُوا وَيَشْرَبُوا وَيَبْعَثُوا أَنْصِبَةً وَيَعْمَلُوا فَرَحًا عَظِيمًا، لِأَنَّهُمْ فَهِمُوا ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَّمُوهُمْ إِيَّاهُ. | ١٢ 12 |
All the people went their way to eat, to drink, to send portions, and to celebrate, because they had understood the words that were declared to them.
| وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّانِي ٱجْتَمَعَ رُؤُوسُ آبَاءِ جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ إِلَى عَزْرَا ٱلْكَاتِبِ لِيُفْهِمَهُمْ كَلَامَ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ. | ١٣ 13 |
On the second day, the heads of fathers’ households of all the people, the priests, and the Levites were gathered together to Ezra the scribe, to study 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 |
They found written in the Torah how 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 out to the mountain, and get olive branches, branches of wild olive, myrtle branches, palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make temporary shelters, 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 out and brought them, and made themselves temporary shelters, everyone on the roof of his house, in their courts, in the courts of God’s house, in the wide place of the water gate, and in the wide place of Ephraim’s gate.
| 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 assembly of those who had come back out of the captivity made temporary shelters and lived in the temporary shelters, for since the days of Joshua the son of Nun to that day the children of Israel had not done so. 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 to the last day, he read in the scroll of the Torah of God. They kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the ordinance.
