Nehemiah 8
1 And the seventh month came: and the children of Israel were in their cities. And all the people were gathered together as one mall to the street which is before the water gate, and they spoke to Esdras the scribe, to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded 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 Then Esdras the priest brought the law before the multitude of men and women, and all those that could understand, in 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 And he read it plainly in the street that was before the water gate, from the morning until midday, before the men, and the women, and all those that could understand: and the ears of all the people were attentive to the book.
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 Esdras the scribe stood upon a step of wood, which he had made to speak upon, and there stood by him Mathathias, and Semeia, and Ania, and Uria, and Helcia, and Maasia, on his right hand: and on the left, Phadaia, Misael, and Melchia, and Hasum, and Hasbadana, Zacharia and Mosollam.
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 Esdras opened the book before all the people: for he was above all the people: and when he had opened it, all the people stood.
Ezra chu mipihon amusoh keina diuvin mun sanglai’ah ana dingin ahi.
6 And Esdras blessed the Lord the great God: and all the people answered, Amen, amen: lifting up their hands: and they bowed down, and adored God with their faces to the ground.
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 Now Josue, and Bani, and Serebia, Jamin, Accub, Sephtai, Odia, Maasia, Celtia, Azarias, Jozabed, Hanan, Phalaia, the Levites, made silence among the people to hear the law: and the people stood in their place.
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 read in the book of the law of God distinctly and plainly to be understood: and they understood when it was read.
Amahon Pathen danbua konin asimdoh’un, abih bih in mipiho hetthei tah dingin hilchet na aneiyun ahi.
9 And Nehemias (he is Athersatha) and Esdras the priest and scribe, and the Levites who interpreted to all the people, said: This 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.
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 And he said to them: Go, eat fat meats, and drink sweet wine, and send portions to them that have not prepared for themselves: because it is the holy day of the Lord, and be not sad: for the joy of the Lord is our strength.
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 And the Levites stilled all the people, saying: Hold your peace, for the day is holy, and be not sorrowful.
Leviten jong mipite chu alhamon’un, “Thipbeh in um’un, kap hih un ajeh chu tuni hi nikho theng ahi,” atiuve.
12 So all the people went to eat and drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth: because they understood the words that he had taught them.
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 chiefs of the families of all the people, the priests, and the Levites were gathered together to Esdras the scribe, that he should interpret to them 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 found written in the law, that the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in tabernacles, on the feast, in 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 should proclaim and publish the word in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying: Go forth to the mount, and fetch branches of olive, and branches of beautiful wood, branches of myrtle, and branches of palm, and branches of thick trees, to make tabernacles, as it is written.
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 forth, and brought. And they made themselves tabernacles every man on the top of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the water gate, and in the street of the gate 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 And all the assembly of them that were returned from the captivity, made tabernacles, and dwelt in tabernacles: for since the days of Josue the son of Nun the children of Israel had not done so, until that day: and there was exceeding 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 he read in the book of the law of God day by day, from the first day till the last, and they kept the solemnity seven days, and in the eighth day a solemn assembly according to the manner.
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.
