Nehemia 8
1 ji duto nochokore kanyakla e laru manie e nyim kama iluongo ni Dhoranga Pi. Ne gikone Ezra, japuonj chik mondo okel Kitabu mar Chik mar Musa, ma Jehova Nyasaye ne osechiko jo-Israel.
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 book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel.
2 Omiyo e odiechiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mar abiriyo, Ezra jadolo nokelo chik e nyim kanyakla mar ji, mane otingʼo chwo kod mon kod jogo duto mane nyalo winjo tiend chike.
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.
3 Nosomo chikego matek ayanga chakre okinyi nyaka odiechiengʼ tir e nyim chwo, mon kod joma moko mane nyalo winjo tiend chikego kochungʼ momanyore gi laru mar ka miluongo ni Dhoranga Pi. Kendo ji duto nochiko itgi malongʼo ne gik mondikie Kitabu mar Chik.
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 book of the law.
4 Ezra japuonj chik nochungʼ ewi bao motingʼore gi malo mane oger nikech nyasini. E bathe yo korachwich ne nitie Matithia, Shema, Anaya, Uria, Hilkia, kod Maseya; to yo koracham ne nitie Pedaya, Mishael, Malkija, Hashum, Hashbadana, Zekaria kod Meshulam.
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.
5 Ezra noelo kitabuno kendo ji duto ne nyalo nene nikech nochungʼ kama otingʼore gi malo moyombogi; to kane oele, ji duto nochungʼ malo.
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.
6 Ezra nopako Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasaye Maduongʼ, kendo ji duto notingʼo bedegi malo mi gidwoko niya, “Amin! Amin!” Bangʼe negipodho auma mi gilamo Jehova Nyasaye ka gikulo wiyegi piny.
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 worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground.
7 Jo-Lawi mane opuonjo ji chike ka jogo ochungʼ kanyo ne gin: Jeshua, Bani, Sherebia, Jamin, Akub, Shabethai, Hodia, Maseya, Kelita, Azaria, Jozabad, Hanan kod Peleya.
Also Jeshua, 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.
8 Ne gisomo Kitabu mar Chik mar Nyasaye, ka gilero tiende kendo gichiwo tiend chik mondo ji owinj malongʼo gima isomo.
They read in the book, in the law of God, distinctly; and they gave the sense, so that they understood the reading.
9 Bangʼe Nehemia ma jatelo, Ezra jadolo kendo japuonj chik, kod jo-Lawi mane puonjo ji nowachonegi duto niya, “Odiechiengni owal ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu. Kik uywagi kendo kik ugo nduru.” Nimar ji duto nosebedo ka goyo nduru kane gichiko itgi ka giwinjo weche manie Chik.
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. Do not mourn, nor weep.” For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law.
10 Nehemia nowacho niya, “Dhiuru kendo ubed moil ka uchamo chiemo moyier kod math mamit, bangʼe uor moko ne joma onge gi gima gichamo. Odiechiengni owalne Ruodhwa. Kik ubed gi kuyo, nikech mor mar Jehova Nyasaye e tekou.”
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. Do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
11 Jo-Lawi nokweyo jogo duto kawacho niya, “Kik chunyu chandre, nikech odiechiengni en odiechiengʼ mowal, bende kik ubed gi kuyo.”
So the Levites calmed all the people, saying, “Hold your peace, for the day is holy. Do not be grieved.”
12 Bangʼe ji duto nodhi mondo gichiem kendo gimethi, gior bath chiemo kendo gitim nyasi gi ilo maduongʼ, nikech koro ne gisengʼeyo tiend weche mane osomnegi.
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.
13 E odiechiengʼ mar ariyo mar dwe, jotend anywola duto, kaachiel gi jodolo kod jo-Lawi, nochokore but Ezra jandiko mondo gichik itgi malongʼo ni weche manie Chik.
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.
14 Gigo mane giyudo kondik ei Chik mane Jehova Nyasaye owacho kokalo kuom Musa, ni jo-Israel nyaka dagi e kambi e kinde mar nyasi mar dwe mar abiriyo,
They found written in the law how the LORD had commanded by Moses that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month;
15 kendo ni nyaka giyal wachni mi gilande e miechgi matindo kod e Jerusalem niya, “Wuoguru udhi e pinje mag gode kendo ukel bede moaye yadh zeituni kod yiende mag bungu mag zeituni, kendo koa e yiend madat, kor yiend othith kod yiende man-gi tipo, mondo losgo kambi,” mana kaka ondiki.
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.”
16 Omiyo ji nowuok kendo negidwogo gi bede yien mi gigero kambi ewi tat utegi giwegi, e laru mag-gi, e laru mar od Nyasaye kod laru man but kama iluongo ni Dhoranga Pi, to machielo manie Dhoranga Efraim.
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.
17 Oganda duto mane odwogo koa e twech nogero kambi mag dak mi gidakie. Kochakore ndalo Joshua wuod Nun nyaka e odiechiengno, jo-Israel ne pod ok obedo gi nyasi machalo gi ma; kendo ne gin gi mor maduongʼ miwuoro.
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.
18 Odiechiengʼ ka odiechiengʼ, chakre odiechiengʼ mokwongo nyaka mogik, Ezra ne somo Kitap Chik mar Nyasaye. Negitimo nyasini kuom ndalo abiriyo, to chiengʼ mar aboro, kaluwore gi chik, ne nitiere chokruok mar kanyakla.
Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. They kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the ordinance.
