Nihemaia 8
1 Oubi fesu amoga, Isala: ili dunu huluane da ilia moilai amo ganodini fi dagoi ba: i. Oubi bisili doaga: i eso amoga ilia da Yelusaleme moilai amo ganodini sogebi amo da Hano Logo Ga: su gadenene amoga gilisi. Esela da gobele salasu dunu amola e da Sema (amo Hina Gode da Mousesegili i, amola Mousese da Isala: ili dunu ilima alofele i), amo ea bai bagade dawa: su. Ilia da Esela ema amo Sema buga gaguli misa: ne sia: i.
And the seventh month had arrived. Now the sons of Israel were in their cities. And all the people were gathered together, like one man, in the street which is before the water gate. And they spoke to Ezra the scribe, so that he would bring the book of the law of Moses, which the Lord had instructed to Israel.
2 Amaiba: le, Esela da dunu ilia gilisi sogebi amoga buga gaguli misi. Gilisi da dunu, uda amola mano (mano da fonobahadi asigilaiba: le, sia: dawa: i, amo fawane da misi).
Therefore, Ezra the priest brought the law before the multitude of men and women, and all those who were able to understand, on the first day of the seventh month.
3 Amalalu, sogebi Hano Logo Ga: su gadenene, amo ganodini, e da ilima sema idili iasu. Hahabega idi amo idilaloba daeya doaga: i, amola ilia huluane da ha: giwane nabi.
And he read it openly in the street which was before the water gate, from morning even until midday, in the sight of the men and women, and those who understood. And the ears of all the people were attentive to the book.
4 Esela da dunu aligila heda: ma: ne fafai ilia da ea sia: nabimusa: gagui amo da: iya aligila heda: i. Dunu mogili da ea lobodafadili lelu, amo, Ma: didaia, Sima, Anaia, Iulaia, Hiligaia amola Ma: iasiai. Amola eno da ea lobo fofadidili lelu, amo, Bida: iya, Misa: iele, Ma: legaia, Ha: isiame, Ha: siabadana, Segalaia amola Misiala: me.
Then Ezra the scribe stood upon a step of wood, which he had made for speaking. And standing beside him were Mattithiah, and Shemaiah, and Anaiah, and Uriah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right. And on the left were Pedaiah, Mishael, and Malchijah, and Hashum, and Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam.
5 Esela da heda: ma: ne fafai amoga fila heda: le, dunu huluane osoboga hagudu fili ba: le gadoi. E da buga houga: iba: le, ilia huluane wa: legadoi.
And Ezra opened the book before all the people. For he stood out above all the people. And when he had opened it, all the people stood up.
6 Esela, da amane sia: i, “Hina Gode Bagadedafa Ema nodoma!” Amalalu, dunu huluane da ilia lobo ligia gadole, “Ama! Ama!” ilia da sia: i. Amalalu, ilia da muguni bugili, ilia odagi osoboga digila sa: i.
And Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God. And all the people responded, “Amen, Amen,” lifting up their hands. And they bowed down, and they adored God, facing the ground.
7 Amalalu, ilia da wa: legadole lelu. Lifai dunu da sema amo ilia bai ilima olelei. Sema bai olelesu dunu da Yesiua, Ba: inai, Sielibaia, Ya: imine, A:gabe, Sia: bidai, Houda: ia, Ma: iasiai, Gelida, A:salaia, Yosaba: de, Ha: ina: ne amola Bila: ia.
Then Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, the Levites, caused the people to be silent in order to hear the law. And the people were standing on their feet.
8 Ilia da Gode Ea sema buga ganodini dedei amo idilalu, amola dunu huluane noga: le dawa: ma: ne, amo ea bai ilima gebewane olelei.
And they read from the book of the law of God, distinctly and plainly, so as to be understood. And when it was read, they did understand.
9 Be dunu bagohame da sema sia: nababeba: le, ilia da gogosia: iwane dinanu. Amaiba: le, eagene ouligisu dunu amo Nihemaia, gobele salasu dunu, sema bagade dawa: su dunu Esela amola Lifai dunu amo da sema ea bai olelesu dunu amola amo da dunu huluanema amane sia: i, “Wali eso da Hina Gode Ea hadigi eso. Amaiba: le, dilia gogosiane mae dinanoma.
Then Nehemiah (the same is the cupbearer) and Ezra, the priest and scribe, and the Levites, who were interpreting for all the people, said: “This day has been sanctified to the Lord our God. Do not mourn, and do not weep.” For all of the people were weeping, as they were listening to the words of the law.
10 Wali dilia diasuga asili, nodone ha: i manu bagade moma amola nowa dunu da ha: i manu hame galea, ilima ha: i manu amola waini sagoma. Wali eso da Hina Gode Ea hadigi eso. Gode da dilima hahawane hou iabeba: le, dilia da gasa lamu.”
And he said to them: “Go, eat fat foods and drink sweet drinks, and send portions to those who have not prepared for themselves. For it is the holy day of the Lord. And do not be sad. For the joy of the Lord is also our strength.”
11 Lifai dunu da dunu huluane dogo denisima: ne adodola lale, ilia da Gode Ea hadigi esoga mae da: i dioma: ne sia: nanu.
Then the Levites caused the people to be silent, saying: “Be quiet. For the day is holy. And do not be sorrowful.”
12 Amaiba: le, dunu huluane da ilia diasuga asili, ha: i manu gilisili hahawane mai amola hame gagui dunu ilima ha: i manu amola waini sagoi. Bai ilia da sema buga dedei ilima idili i, amo ea bai noga: le nabi.
And so all the people went forth, so that they might eat and drink, and so that they might send portions, and so that they might make a great rejoicing. For they understood the words that he had taught to them.
13 Golale, hahabe, fi ouligisu dunu, gobele salasu dunu amola Lifai dunu ilia da sema ea olelesu noga: le nabima: ne, Esela ba: musa: asi.
And on the second day, the leaders of the families of all the people, the priests, and the Levites were gathered together to Ezra the scribe, so that he might interpret for them the words of the law.
14 Sema amo Gode da Mousesema i, amo ganodini Gode da Isala: ili dunu da Sogega Fasela Diasuga Lolo Nabe hamonoba, ilia da gadili fasela diasu ganodini esaloma: ne sia: i, amo sema ilia da ba: i.
And they found written in the law, which the Lord had instructed by the hand of Moses, that the sons of Israel should live in tabernacles on the day of solemnity in the seventh month,
15 Amaiba: le ilia da sia: amo Yelusaleme moilai amola moilai huluane Isala: ili soge ganodini galu, amo sia: adole iasi, “Agolo sogega asili, ifa amo ‘baine’, ‘olife’, gumudi amola ifa eno, amo ifa ea amoda amola lubi lidila masa. Amola amoga dilia sogega fasela diasu, Gode Ea sema dedei olelei defele gaguma.”
and that they should proclaim and send out a voice in all their cities and in Jerusalem, saying: “Go forth to the mount, and bring olive branches, and the branches of beautiful trees, myrtle branches, and palm branches, and the branches of thick trees,” so that they might make tabernacles, just as it was written.
16 Amaiba: le, dunu huluane da ifa amoda lale, fasela diasu gagui. Ilia da ilia diasu fila ahoasu, ilia diasu gagoi amola Debolo gagoi sogebi Hano Logo Ga: su gadenene amola Ifala: ime Logo Ga: su gadenene amola amo sogebi huluane amoga fasela diasu gagui.
And the people went forth and brought. And they made for themselves tabernacles, each one at his own dwelling, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the water gate, and in the street of the gate of Ephraim.
17 Dunu huluane musa: mugululi asili buhagi dunu, ilia da fasela diasu gaguli, amo ganodini esalu. Yosiua (Nane egefe) ea eso amoga musa: Isala: ili dunu da amo hou hamosu. Be fa: no ilia hame hamosu. Wali bu degabo hamobeba: le, dunu huluane da fofogadigili, hahawane bagade ba: i.
Therefore, the entire assembly of those who had returned from the captivity made tabernacles and lived in tabernacles. For from the days of Jeshua, the son of Nun, even to that day, the sons of Israel had not done so. And there was exceedingly great rejoicing.
18 Lolo nabe eso magobo amoga ilia gilisisu amoga Gode Ea sema dedei eso huluane idisu. Ilia da amo gilisisu eso fesuale hahawane hamosu. Amola eso godo amoga ilia da Lolo Nabe ga: simusa: gilisisu bagade hamoi. Ilia da Gode Ea Sema dedei amo defele hamoi.
Now he read in the book of the law of God, throughout each day, from the first day even to the very last day. And they kept the solemnity for seven days. And on the eighth day, there was a gathering according to the ritual.
