Nehemiah 8
1 all the people gathered together as one man to the open place that was before the water-gate; and they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which Jehovah had commanded Israel.
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.
2 And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation, both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month.
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.
3 And he read in it before the open place that was before the water-gate from the morning until midday, in presence of the men and the women, and those that could understand. And the ears of all the people were [attentive] to the book of the law.
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.
4 And Ezra the scribe stood upon a high stage of wood, which they had made for the purpose. And beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkijah, and Maaseiah on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchijah, and Hashum, and Hashbaddana, Zechariah, Meshullam.
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.
5 And 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.
Ezra noelo kitabuno kendo ji duto ne nyalo nene nikech nochungʼ kama otingʼore gi malo moyombogi; to kane oele, ji duto nochungʼ malo.
6 And Ezra blessed Jehovah, the great God; and all the people answered, Amen, Amen! with lifting up of their hands; and they bowed their heads, and worshipped Jehovah with their faces to the ground.
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.
7 And Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law; and the people [stood] in their place.
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.
8 And they read in the law of God distinctly out of the book, and gave the sense, and caused [them] to understand the reading.
Ne gisomo Kitabu mar Chik mar Nyasaye, ka gilero tiende kendo gichiwo tiend chik mondo ji owinj malongʼo gima isomo.
9 And Nehemiah, that is, the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that explained to the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to Jehovah your God: mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law.
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.
10 And he said to them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions to them for whom nothing is prepared; for the day is holy to our Lord; and be not grieved, for the joy of Jehovah is your strength.
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.”
11 And the Levites quieted all the people, saying, Be still! for the day is holy; neither be grieved.
Jo-Lawi nokweyo jogo duto kawacho niya, “Kik chunyu chandre, nikech odiechiengni en odiechiengʼ mowal, bende kik ubed gi kuyo.”
12 And all the people went their way, to eat and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great rejoicing. For they had understood the words that were declared to them.
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.
13 And on the second day were gathered together the chief fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, to Ezra the scribe, even to gain wisdom as to the words of the law.
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.
14 And they found written in the law which Jehovah had commanded through Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month,
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,
15 and that they should publish and proclaim through all their cities, and at Jerusalem, saying, Go forth to the mount, and fetch olive-branches, and wild olive-branches, and myrtle-branches, and palm-branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.
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.
16 And the people went forth and brought [them], and made themselves booths, everyone upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the open space of the water-gate, and in the open space of the gate of Ephraim.
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.
17 And all the congregation of them that had come back from the captivity made booths, and dwelt in the booths. For since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun until that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.
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.
18 Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they observed the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the ordinance.
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.
