Nehemiah 8
1 And the seventh month arrived, and the children of Israel [were settled] in their cities; and all the people were gathered as one man to the broad place before the water-gate, and they told Esdras the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the Lord commanded Israel.
И прииде месяц седмый, сынове же Израилевы бяху во градех своих: и собрашася вси людие яко муж един на пространство, еже пред враты Водными, и рекоша Ездре писарю, да принесет книгу закона Моисеова, егоже заповеда Господь Израилю.
2 So Esdras the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and every one who had understanding [was present] to listen, on the first day of the seventh month.
И принесе Ездра священник закон пред множество от мужей даже до жен, и всем, иже можаху разумети слышаще, в день первый месяца седмаго,
3 And he read in it from the time of sunrise to the middle of the day, before the men and the women; and they understood [it], and the ears of all the people [were attentive] to the book of the law.
и чте в нем (явно на пространстве, еже пред враты Водными), от утра даже до полудне, пред мужи и женами, и сии бяху разумеюще, и уши всех людий ко книзе закона.
4 And Esdras the scribe stood on a wooden stage, and there stood next to him Mattathias, and Samaeas, and Ananias, and Urias, and Chelcia, and Massia, on his right hand; and on his left Phadaeas, and Misael, and Melchias, and Asom, and Asabadma, and Zacharias, and Mesollam.
И ста Ездра писец на степени древянем, егоже сотвориша к народовещанию, и сташа близ его Матфафиа и Самеа, и Ананиа и Уриа, и Хелкиа и Маасиа одесную его, ошуюю же Фадаиа и Мисаил, и Мелхиа и Осам, и Асавадма и Захариа и Месоллам.
5 And Esdras opened the book before all the people, for he was above the people; and it came to pass when he had opened it, [that] all the people stood.
И разгну Ездра книгу пред всеми людьми, яко той бе над людьми, и бысть егда разгибаше ю, сташа вси людие.
6 And Esdras blessed the Lord, the great God: and all the people answered, and said, Amen, lifting up their hands: and they bowed down and worshipped the Lord with their face to the ground.
И благослови Ездра Господа Бога великаго, и отвещаша вси людие и реша аминь, воздвигше руце свои, и преклонишася и поклонишася Господеви лицем на землю.
7 And Jesus and Banaias and Sarabias instructed the people in the law, and the people [stood] in their place.
Иисус же и Ванаиа и Саравиа, Акан, Саватей, Камптас, Азариа, Иозавадан, Анифанес и левити бяху вразумляюще людий в законе: людие же стояху на стоянии своем.
8 And they read in the book of the law of God, and Esdras taught, and instructed them distinctly in the knowledge of the Lord, and the people understood [the law] in the reading.
И чтоша в книзе закона Божия, и поучаше Ездра и изясняше ко разумению Господню, и разумеша людие чтение.
9 And Neemias, and Esdras the priest and scribe, and the Levites, and they that instructed the people, spoke and said to all the people, It is a holy day to the Lord our God; do not mourn, nor weep. For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law.
Рече же Неемиа и Ездра священник и писец, и левити и толкующии людем, и реша всем людем: день свят есть Господу Богу нашему, не рыдайте и не плачите. Понеже плакаша вси людие, егда услышаша словеса закона.
10 And [the governor] said to them, Go, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions to them that have nothing; for the day is holy to our Lord: and faint not, for the Lord is our strength.
И рече им: идите и ядите тучная и пийте сладкая, и послите части не имущым, яко свят есть день Господеви нашему, и не печалитеся, ибо радость Господня сия есть сила наша.
11 And the Levites caused all the people to be silent, saying, Be silent, for [it is] a holy day, and despond not.
Левити же молчание творяху во всех людех, глаголюще: молчите, яко день свят есть, и не тужите.
12 So all the people departed to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, for they understood the words which he made known to them.
И отидоша вси людие ясти и пити, и послати части, и сотворити веселие велико, яко разумеша словеса, имже научиша их.
13 And on the second day the heads of families assembled with all the people, [also] the priests and Levites, to Esdras the scribe, to attend to all the words of the law.
И в день вторый собрашася князие отечеств со всеми людьми, священницы и левити ко Ездре писцу, да протолкует всем словеса законная.
14 And they found written in the law which the Lord commanded Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths, in the feast in the seventh month:
И обретоша писано в законе, егоже заповеда Господь рукою Моисеовою, да обитают сынове Израилевы в кущах в праздник месяца седмаго,
15 and that they should sound with trumpets in all their cities, and in Jerusalem. And Esdras said, Go forth to the mountain, and bring branches of olive, and branches of cypress trees, and branches of myrtle, and branches of palm trees, and branches of [every] thick tree, to make booths, according to that which was written.
и да проповедят трубами во всех градех их и во Иерусалиме. И рече Ездра: изыдите на гору, и принесите ветви масличны, и ветви древес кипарисных, и ветви мирсинныя, и ветви финиковы, и ветви древес дубравных, сотворити кущы по писаному.
16 And the people went forth, and brought [them], and made booths for themselves, each one upon his roof, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the streets of the city, and as far as the gate of Ephraim.
И изыдоша людие, и принесоша, и сотвориша себе кущы кийждо на крове своем и во дворех своих, и во дворех дому Божия и на пространстве врат Водных и на пространстве врат Ефремлих.
17 And all the congregation who had returned from the captivity, made booths, and lived in booths: for the children of Israel [had] not done so from the days of Jesus the son of Naue until that day: and there was great joy.
И сотвориша весь сонм возвративыйся от пленения кущы, и седоша в кущах, яко не сотвориша от дний Иисуса сына Навина тако сынове Израилевы даже до дне того. И бысть веселие велико.
18 And [Esdras] read in the book of the law of God daily, from the first day even to the last day: and they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day a solemn assembly, according to the ordinance.
И читаху в книзе закона Божия на всяк день, от дне перваго даже до дне последняго. И сотвориша праздник седмь дний, и в день осмый собрание по обычаю.
