Nehemiah 8
1 And all the people assembled themselues together, in the streete that was before the watergate, and they spake vnto Ezra the Scribe, that hee would bring the booke of ye Law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded to Israel.
Pilnam pum te tui vongka hmai kah toltung ah hlang pakhat bangla tingtun uh. Te vaengah cadaek Ezra te, “Moses kah olkhueng cabu te hang khuen, te nen ni BOEIPA loh Israel a uen,” a ti uh.
2 And Ezra the Priest brought the Lawe before the Congregation both of men and women, and of all that coulde heare and vnderstand it, in the first day of the seuenth moneth,
A hla rhih kah lamhmacuek hnin vaengah tah khosoih Ezra loh olkhueng te hlangping mikhmuh ah tongpa lamloh huta ham khaw, yaak ham aka yakming boeih taengah a phoe puei.
3 And he read therein in the streete that was before the watergate (from the morning vntill the midday) before men and women, and them that vnderstoode it, and the eares of all the people hearkened vnto the booke of the Lawe.
Te lamkah te tui vongka hmai kah toltung imdan ah khopo lamloh khothun khovang hil a tae. Tongpa neh huta neh aka yakming rhoek kah hmai neh olkhueng cabu dongla hna aka kaeng pilnam cungkuem ham a tae pah.
4 And Ezra the Scribe stoode vpon a pulpit of wood which he had made for the preaching, and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Ananiah, and Vriiah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah on his right hande, and on his left hand Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam.
Te vaengah cadaek Ezra te olthui vaengkah ham a dawn tlaang thing dongah pai. Anih taengah Mattithiah neh Shema, Anaiah neh Uriah, Hilkiah neh Maaseiah, a banvoei neh a bantang ah Pedaiah neh Mishael, Malkhiah neh Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zekhariah neh Meshullam pai.
5 And Ezra opened the booke before all the people: for hee was aboue all the people: and when he opened it, all the people stoode vp.
Ezra loh cabu te pilnam boeih kah mikhmuh ah a ong. Pilnam boeih so la om tih cabu a ong vaengah pilnam khaw boeih pai uh.
6 And Ezra praysed the Lord the great God, and all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting vp their handes: and they bowed themselues, and worshipped the Lord with their faces toward the grounde.
Ezra loh boeilen Pathen BOEIPA te a uem vaengah pilnam pum loh a kut thueng neh, “Amen, Amen,” tila a doo uh. Te phoeiah a tal te diklai la a buluk uh tih BOEIPA te a bawk uh.
7 Also Ieshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Iamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Iozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Leuites caused the people to vnderstand the lawe, and the people stood in their place.
Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah neh amih Levi rhoek loh olkhueng te pilnam taengah a thuicaih pah. Te vaengah pilnam tah amamih paihmuen ah pai uh.
8 And they read in the booke of the Lawe of God distinctly, and gaue the sense, and caused them to vnderstand the reading.
Pathen kah olkhueng cabu lamkah te puk a tae uh tih lungmingnah khaw a paek dongah tingtunnah ham khaw a yakming uh.
9 Then Nehemiah (which is Tirshatha) and Ezra the Priest and scribe, and the Leuites that instructed the people, saide vnto all the people, This day is holie vnto ye Lord your God: mourne not, neither weepe: for all the people wept, whe they heard the words of the Lawe.
Te vaengah tongmang boei Nehemiah amah neh khosoih cadaek Ezra, pilnam ham aka thuicaih Levi rhoek loh pilnam boeih taengah, “Na Pathen BOEIPA kah khohnin cim ah he nguekcoi uh boeh, rhap uh boeh. Olkhueng ol a yaak vanbangla pilnam boeih rhap coeng,” a ti nah.
10 He saide also vnto the, Go, and eate of the fat, and drinke the sweete, and send part vnto them, for whome none is prepared: for this day is holie vnto our Lord: be ye not sorie therefore: for the ioy of the Lord is your strength.
Amih te, “Cet uh, buhtha te ca uh lamtah didip tui khaw o uh. Mamih Boeipa kah khohnin he a cim dongah maehvae te a taengah aka sikim pawt taengah thak uh. BOEIPA kah kohoenah he nangmih kah lunghim la a om dongah kothae sak uh boeh,” a ti nah.
11 And the Leuites made silence throughout all the people, saying, Holde your peace: for the day is holy, be not sad therefore.
Aka ngam Levi rhoek long khaw pilnam boeih taengah, “Saah lah, khohnin cim ni, na kothae sak uh boeh,” a ti nah.
12 Then all the people went to eate and to drinke, and to send away part, and to make great ioy, because they had vnderstand the wordes that they had taught them.
Amih taengah a thuicaih pah ol te a yakming uh coeng dongah tah pilnam pum te caak ham neh ok hamla, maehvae tael hamla, kohoenah len saii hamla cet uh.
13 And on the second day the chiefe fathers of all the people, the Priests and the Leuites were gathered vnto Ezra the scribe, that he also might instruct them in the wordes of the Lawe.
A hnin bae dongah tah pilnam pum kah a napa boeilu rhoek, khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek tah cadaek Ezra taengah olkhueng ol dongah lungming la om ham tingtun uh.
14 And they found written in the Law, (that the Lord had commanded by Moses) that the children of Israel should dwel in boothes in the feast of the seuenth moneth,
Te vaengah, “Israel ca he hla rhih vaengkah khotue ah dungtlungim khuiah khosa saeh,” tila BOEIPA loh Moses kut ah a uen tih olkhueng khuiah a daek te a hmuh uh.
15 And that they shoulde cause it to bee declared and proclaimed in all their cities, and in Ierusalem, saying, Go forth vnto the mount, and bring oliue branches, and pine branches, and branches of myrtus, and palme branches, and branches of thicke trees, to make boothes, as it is written.
Te dongah amamih kho takuem ah a yaak sak uh tih ol a haeh uh. Jerusalem ah khaw, “Tlang la cet uh lamtah olive hnah, situi thing hnah, cuihal hnah, rhophoe hnah neh thing hnah aka bu te lo uh. A daek bangla dungtlungim saii ham om,” a ti nah.
16 So the people went foorth and brought them, and made them boothes, euerie one vpon the roofe of his house, and in their courtes, and in the courtes of the house of God, and in the streete by the watergate, and in the streete of the gate of Ephraim.
Pilnam te cet tih a khuen phoeiah tah amamih ham dungtlungim te a imphu ah khaw, a vongup ah khaw, Pathen im kah vongup ah khaw, tui vongka kah toltung ah khaw, Ephraim vongka kah toltung ah khaw rhip a saii uh.
17 And all the Congregation of them that were come againe out of the captiuitie made boothes, and sate vnder the boothes: for since the time of Ieshua the sonne of Nun vnto this day, had not the children of Israel done so, and there was very great ioy.
Tamna lamkah aka mael hlangping boeih long khaw dungtlungim a saii uh tih dungtlungim ah kho a sak uh. Nun capa Jeshua tue lamloh te khohnin hil Israel ca rhoek loh ana saii moenih. Te dongah kohoenah khaw muep om khungdaeng mai.
18 And he read in the booke of the Lawe of God euery day, from the first day vnto the last day. and they kept the feast seuen dayes, and on the eight day a solemne assemblie, according vnto the maner.
Pathen kah olkhueng cabu te a hnin, hnin ah a tongcuek hnin lamloh a bawt hnin hil a tae pah. Khotue te hnin rhih a saii uh tih a hnin rhet dongah tah a khosing bangla pahong uh.
