Nehemiah 8
1 At that time all the people gathered together in the square before the Water Gate, and they asked Ezra the scribe to bring out the Book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded for Israel.
Kad nu septītais mēnesis atnāca, un Israēla bērni bija savās pilsētās, tad visi ļaudis sapulcinājās kā viens vienīgs vīrs laukā priekš Ūdens vārtiem un sacīja uz Ezru, to rakstu mācītāju, lai tas atnes Mozus bauslības grāmatu, ko Tas Kungs Israēlim bija pavēlējis.
2 On the first day of the seventh month, Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly of men and women and all who could listen and understand.
Un priesteris Ezra atnesa bauslību draudzes priekšā, vīriem un sievām un visiem, kas to varēja saprast, pirmā dienā septītā mēnesī.
3 So Ezra read it aloud from daybreak until noon as he faced the square before the Water Gate, in front of the men and women and those who could understand. And all the people listened attentively to the Book of the Law.
Un lasīja no tās uz lauka Ūdens vārtu priekšā no pašas gaismas līdz pusdienai vīru un sievu priekšā, kas tik saprata, un visu ļaužu ausis (griezās) uz bauslības grāmatu.
4 Ezra the scribe stood on a high wooden platform built for this occasion. At his right side stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, and at his left were Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hash-baddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam.
Un Ezra, tas rakstu mācītājs, stāvēja uz augsta koka krēsla, ko tie priekš tam bija uztaisījuši, un viņam sānis stāvēja Matatija un Šemus un Anaja un Ūrija un Hilķija un Maāseja viņam pa labo roku, un viņam pa kreiso roku Pedaja un Mišaēls un Malhija un Hašums un Hašbadanus, Zaharija, Mešulams.
5 Ezra opened the book in full view of all the people, since he was standing above them all, and as he opened it, all the people stood up.
Un Ezra atdarīja to grāmatu priekš visu ļaužu acīm, jo viņš stāvēja augstāki nekā visi ļaudis, un kad viņš to atdarīja, tad visi ļaudis uzcēlās.
6 Then Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God, and with their hands uplifted, all the people said, “Amen, Amen!” Then they bowed down and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground.
Un Ezra teica To Kungu, to lielo Dievu, un visi ļaudis atbildēja: Āmen, Āmen! Savas rokas paceldami, un locījās un metās uz savu vaigu zemē priekš Tā Kunga.
7 The Levites—Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, and Pelaiah—instructed the people in the Law as they stood in their places.
Un Ješuūs un Banus un Šerebija, Jamins, Akubs, Šabetajus, Hodija, Maāseja, Kelitus, Azarija, Jozabads, Hanans, Pelaja un tie leviti izskaidroja tiem ļaudīm bauslību, un tie ļaudis stāvēja savā vietā.
8 So they read from the Book of the Law of God, explaining it and giving insight, so that the people could understand what was being read.
Un tie lasīja no Dieva bauslības grāmatas tulkodami un izskaidrodami, ka lasot to varēja saprast.
9 Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who were instructing the people said to all of them, “This day is holy to the LORD your God. Do not mourn or weep.” For all the people were weeping as they heard the words of the Law.
Tad Nehemija, tas ir tas zemes soģis, un priesteris Ezra, tas rakstu mācītājs, un tie leviti, kas tos ļaudis mācīja, sacīja uz visiem tiem ļaudīm: šī diena Tam Kungam, jūsu Dievam, ir svēta, neesiet noskumuši un neraudat. Jo visi ļaudis raudāja, kad tie dzirdēja bauslības vārdus.
10 Then Nehemiah told them, “Go and eat what is rich, drink what is sweet, and send out portions to those who have nothing prepared, since today is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
Tad viņš uz tiem sacīja: Ejat, ēdiet treknu un dzeriet saldu, un sūtiet daļas tam, kam nekā nav sataisīts. Jo šī diena mūsu Kungam ir svēta. Tad nu neesiet noskumuši, jo prieks pie Tā Kunga ir jūsu stiprums.
11 And the Levites calmed all the people, saying, “Be still, since today is holy. Do not grieve.”
Un tie leviti apklusināja visus ļaudis sacīdami: esiet klusu; jo šī diena ir svēta, tāpēc neesiet noskumuši.
12 Then all the people began to eat and drink, to send out portions, and to rejoice greatly, because they understood the words that had been made known to them.
Tad visi ļaudis gāja ēst un dzert un daļas sūtīt un lielu prieku darīt; jo tie tos vārdus bija sapratuši, kas tiem bija sacīti.
13 On the second day of the month, the heads of all the families, along with the priests and Levites, gathered around Ezra the scribe to study the words of the Law.
Un otrā dienā visas tautas cilts virsnieki, priesteri un leviti sapulcējās pie rakstu mācītāja Ezras, klausīties bauslības vārdus.
14 And they found written in the Law, which the LORD had commanded through Moses, that the Israelites were to dwell in booths during the feast of the seventh month.
Un tie atrada bauslībā, ka bija rakstīts, ko Tas Kungs caur Mozu bija pavēlējis, lai Israēla bērni lieveņos dzīvo pa tiem svētkiem septītā mēnesī.
15 So they proclaimed this message and spread it throughout their towns and in Jerusalem, saying, “Go out to the hill country and bring back branches of olive, wild olive, myrtle, palm, and other leafy trees, to make booths, as it is written.”
Un lai tie to izsludina un izsauc pa visām pilsētām un Jeruzālemē sacīdami: ejat ārā kalnos un atnesiet zarus no eļļas kokiem un zarus no meža eļļas kokiem un zarus no mirtu kokiem un zarus no palma kokiem un zarus no (citiem) kupliem kokiem, un taisāt lieveņus, tā kā ir rakstīts.
16 And the people went out, brought back branches, and made booths on their own rooftops, in their courtyards, in the court of the house of God, and in the squares by the Water Gate and by the Gate of Ephraim.
Tā tie ļaudis izgāja ārā un atnesa un taisīja sev lieveņus, ikkatrs uz sava jumta un savos pagalmos un Dieva nama pagalmos un uz Ūdens vārtu lauka un uz Efraīma vārtu lauka.
17 The whole assembly who had returned from exile made booths and lived in them. From the days of Joshua son of Nun until that day, the Israelites had not celebrated like this. And there was great rejoicing.
Un visa draudze, tie, kas no cietuma bija pārnākuši, taisīja lieveņus un dzīvoja lieveņos. Jo Israēla bērni nebija tā darījuši no Jozuas, Nuna dēla, laika līdz šai dienai, un tur bija varen liela līksmība.
18 Day after day, from the first day to the last, Ezra read from the Book of the Law of God. The Israelites kept the feast for seven days, and on the eighth day they held an assembly, according to the ordinance.
Un Dieva bauslības grāmata tapa ikdienas lasīta, no pirmās dienas līdz beidzamai dienai, un tie turēja svētkus septiņas dienas un astotā dienā to atsvēti, tā kā bija nolikts.
