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.
Then all the people gathered themselves together as one man, into the broad way that was before the water-gate, —and they spake unto Ezra the scribe, to bring the book of the law of Moses, which Yahweh had commanded 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.
So then Ezra the priest brought the law, before the convocation of both men and women, and all that had understanding to hearken, —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.
and read therein, before the broad place which was before the water-gate, from the time it was light, until the noon of the day, in presence of the men and the women, and such as had understanding, —and, the ears of all the people, were unto 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.
And Ezra the scribe stood upon a lofty platform of wood, which they had made for the purpose, and there stood, beside him, Mattithiah and Shema and Anaiah and Uriah and Hilkiah and Maaseiah, on his right hand, —and, on his left, Pedaiah and Mishael and Malchijah and Hashum and Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, 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.
And Ezra the scribe opened the book before the eyes of all the people, for, above all the people, was he, —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.
And Ezra blessed Yahweh the great God, —and all the people responded, Amen! Amen! with the lifting up of their hands, —and they bent their heads and bowed themselves down unto Yahweh, 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.
And, Jeshua and Bani and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, did cause the people to understand the law, the people, remaining in their places.
8 Ne gisomo Kitabu mar Chik mar Nyasaye, ka gilero tiende kendo gichiwo tiend chik mondo ji owinj malongʼo gima isomo.
So they read in the book of the law of God, distinctly, —and, giving the sense, caused them to understand 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.
Then Nehemiah—he, was the governor—and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites who were causing the people to understand, said unto all the people, To-day, is, holy, unto Yahweh your God, do not mourn, nor weep, —for, weeping, were all the people, 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.”
So he said unto them—Go your way, eat the fat and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared, for holy is the day, unto our Lord, —and be not grieved, for, the joy of Yahweh, is your strength.
11 Jo-Lawi nokweyo jogo duto kawacho niya, “Kik chunyu chandre, nikech odiechiengni en odiechiengʼ mowal, bende kik ubed gi kuyo.”
And, the Levites, were quieting all the people, saying—Hush! for, the day, is holy, —and be not 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.
And all the people went their way, to eat and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great rejoicing, —because they had understood the words which were made known unto 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.
And, on the second day, were gathered together—the ancestral heads of all the people, the priests and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, —even to give attention unto 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,
And they found written in the law, —that Yahweh gave command through Moses, that the sons of Israel should dwell in booths, during the festival 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 send along a proclamation throughout all their cities and throughout Jerusalem, saying, Forth to the mountain, and bring in branches of olive, and branches of oleaster, and branches of myrtle, and branches of palms, and branches of thick trees, —to make booths, 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 forth, and brought in, and made themselves booths, every one upon his roof, 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.
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.
And all the convocation of them who had returned out of the captivity made booths, and dwelt in booths, for, since the days of Jeshua son of Nun, had not the sons of Israel done so, unto that day, —and there was very great rejoicing.
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.
So he read in the book of the law of God, day by day, from the first day unto the last day, and they kept the festival seven days, and, on the eighth day, a closing feast, according to the regulation.
