Nehemiah 8
1 And when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their towns. And all the people came together like one man into the wide place in front of the water-doorway; and they made a request to Ezra the scribe that he would put before them the book of the law of Moses which the Lord had given to Israel.
Mipiho chu abonchauvin twiphung kelkotna chun lung gel khat neiyin ahung kikhom un ahi. Hichun amahon Ezra koma Pathenin Israelte nit dinga anapeh Mose dan lekhabu chu ahin pohdoh dingin a ngeh tauve.
2 And Ezra the priest put the law before the meeting of the people, before the men and women and all those who were able to take it in, on the first day of the seventh month.
Hitichun Lha sagi chule niget lhinnin Ezra thempupan jong hiche danthu lekhabua hi numei le pasal chuleh chapang thu hethei jouse dingin ahin podoh tan ahi.
3 He was reading it in the wide place in front of the water-doorway, from early morning till the middle of the day, in the hearing of all those men and women whose minds were able to take it in; and the ears of all the people were open to the book of the law.
Aman twiphung kelkot phung sung aningkoi laiya chun jingkah apat sunkim geiyin mipiho jouse hetthei dingin ahin simdoh in ahi. Chule mijousen dan lekhabua asimdoh hochu angai soh keiyuvin ahi.
4 And Ezra the scribe took his place on a tower of wood which they had made for the purpose; and by his side were placed Mattithiah and Shema and Anaiah and Uriah and Hilkiah and Maaseiah on the right; and on the left, Pedaiah and Mishael and Malchijah and Hashum and Hashbaddanah, Zechariah and Meshullam.
Ezra chu hiche ding monga kisem thingpeh kidosang muna chun ading in ahi. Ama jetlam'a chun Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah chule Maasseiah ana dingun ahi. Chule aveilama chun Pedaiah, Meshael, Malkijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, chule Meshullam ana dingun ahi.
5 And Ezra took the book, opening it before the eyes of all the people (for he was higher than the people); and when it was open, all the people got to their feet:
Ezra chu mipihon amusoh keina diuvin mun sanglai’ah ana dingin ahi.
6 And Ezra gave praise to the Lord, the great God. And all the people in answer said, So be it, so be it; lifting up their hands; and with bent heads they gave worship to the Lord, going down on their faces to the earth.
Hitichun Ezra in Pakai Pathen thupitah chu thangvah na anapen ahileh mipiho chun akhut’u ana domsang un, “Amen! Amen!” anatiuvin ahi. Hijeh chun tollah abohkhup mun Pakai chibai aboh’un ahi.
7 And Jeshua and Bani and Sherebiah and Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites made the law clear to the people: and the people kept in their places.
Mipiho chu adin mun cheh a adingun, Levite lah a konin Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan chule Pelaiah chun danthu chu mipiho ahillun ahi.
8 And they gave out the words of the book the law of God, clearly, and gave the sense of it, so that their minds were able to take it in.
Amahon Pathen danbua konin asimdoh’un, abih bih in mipiho hetthei tah dingin hilchet na aneiyun ahi.
9 And Nehemiah, who was the Tirshatha, and Ezra, the priest and scribe, and the Levites who were the teachers of the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to the Lord your God; let there be no sorrow or weeping; for all the people were weeping on hearing the words of the law.
Hichejou chun gamvaipo Nehemiah, Ezra thempupa le danthu thempa chule mipi hilla pang Levite chutoh akikhom uvin mipiho jah’a chun aseiyun, “Tuni hi na Pakai Pathen’u maiya nikho theng ahi, lunghem hih’un kap jong kap hih’un,” atiuve. Ajehchu dan thucheng ho chu ajah phat’uva mipichu kapgam jenguva ahitai.
10 Then he said to them, Go away now, and take the fat for your food and the sweet for your drink, and send some to him for whom nothing is made ready: for this day is holy to our Lord: and let there be no grief in your hearts; for the joy of the Lord is your strong place.
Chuleh Nehemiah chun aseiben, “Cheuvin lang an tuitah tah ganeuvin lang donthei atuitah tah gadon un kipa thanop gabol un. Anei joulou ho jong chu nachan’u gachan khompi uvin, ajeh chu tuni hi Pakaiya nikho theng ahi, lungthoina nei hih’un, lung kham na jong nei hih’un, ajeh chu Pakaiya nakipa nau hi nathahat nao ahi,” ati.
11 So the Levites made all the people quiet, saying, Be quiet, for the day is holy; and do not give way to grief.
Leviten jong mipite chu alhamon’un, “Thipbeh in um’un, kap hih un ajeh chu tuni hi nikho theng ahi,” atiuve.
12 And all the people went away to take food and drink, and to send food to others, and to be glad, because the words which were said to them had been made clear.
Hitichun mipite chu golvah an neding leh don dingin anei joulou ho pan hu ding leh kipah tah a ankong um ding'in apotdoh tauve, ajeh chu amahon Pathen thucheng aja tauvin ahi.
13 And on the second day the heads of families of all the people and the priests and the Levites came together to Ezra the scribe, to give attention to the words of the law.
Ajing nikho nin mipi ho lah a insung lamkai holeh thempu ho, Levi ho acheovin danthu them Ezra chu danthu hilchetbe ding in aga tem’un ahi.
14 And they saw that it was recorded in the law that the Lord had given orders by Moses, that the children of Israel were to have tents for their living-places in the feast of the seventh month:
Dan chu akholchilbe phat’un Pathenin Mose mangcha a athupeh dungjuiya hiche lhasunga kut kibol sunga chu Israel lhambuh sunga umdiu ahi ti amudoh un ahi.
15 And that they were to give out an order, and make it public in all their towns and in Jerusalem, saying, Go out to the mountain and get olive branches and branches of field olives and of myrtle, and palm branches and branches of thick trees, to make tents, as it says in the book.
Hiche hi amahon aphondoh uva akhodung jouseu leh Jerusalem khopi sunga aphondoh diu ahin, “Potdoh’uvin lang mol le lhang tinna cheuvin, Olive thingbah ho hijongleh, theimi vom doho hihen lang, tumthing do ho hijongleh thingna do adang dang hijongleh hiche lhambuh kut bolna dingin hinpolut lut’uvin tia kisun ahi,” tia aphondoh diu amudoh tauve.
16 And the people went out and got them and made themselves tents, every one on the roof of his house, and in the open spaces and in the open squares of the house of God, and in the wide place of the water-doorway, and the wide place of the doorway of Ephraim.
Hijeh chun mipi chu apotdoh’uvin akisei chengse chu ahinpolut soh keiyuvin, abonchauvin lhambuh kut chu abolcheh’uvin, ain chung cheh leh alhonglai dung cheh’u chule Pathen houin lhong dunga chun abol uvin, twiphung inning kelkot phunga jong, Ephraim kelkot phunga jong abol abol sohkei juve.
17 All the people who had been prisoners and had come back, made tents and were living in them: for from the time of Jeshua, the son of Nun, till that day, the children of Israel had not done so. And there was very great joy.
Hitobang tah hin sohchan na a kona hung kile kit miho chun lhambuh kut abol’uvin, chule lhambuh jenga achenguve, ijeh-inem itileh Nun chapa nikholaiya pat hiche nikho geiyahi Israel chaten hitobanga hi anabol khah lou laiyu ahi. Hiche ahi kipa thanopna lentah ana um doh in ahiye.
18 And day by day, from the first day till the last, he was reading from the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast for seven days: and on the eighth day there was a holy meeting, as it is ordered in the law.
Hiche kut nisagi sunghin niseh le Ezra in Pathen danthubua konin asimdoh jingin ahi. Chujouvin aniget chan ni in danthu dungjuiyin khoppi thupitah ana bolun ahi.
