Nehemiah 8
1 all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the broad place that was before the water gate; and they spoke unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to 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 And Ezra the priest brought the Law before the congregation, both men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon 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 therein before the broad place that was before the water gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women, and of those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto 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 Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Uriah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchijah, and Hashum, and Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam.
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 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.
И разгну Ездра книгу пред всеми людьми, яко той бе над людьми, и бысть егда разгибаше ю, сташа вси людие.
6 And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered: 'Amen, Amen', with the lifting up of their hands; and they bowed their heads, and fell down before the LORD with their faces 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 Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, even the Levites, caused the people to understand 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, in the Law of God, distinctly; and they gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
И чтоша в книзе закона Божия, и поучаше Ездра и изясняше ко разумению Господню, и разумеша людие чтение.
9 And Nehemiah, who was the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people: 'This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, 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 Then he said unto them: 'Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy unto our Lord; neither be ye grieved; for the joy of the LORD is your 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 So the Levites stilled all the people, saying: 'Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved.'
Левити же молчание творяху во всех людех, глаголюще: молчите, яко день свят есть, и не тужите.
12 And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto 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 were gathered together the heads of fathers' houses of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to give attention to 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, how that the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of 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 publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying: 'Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and branches of wild olive, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is 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 So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the broad place of the water gate, and in the broad place of 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 of them that were come back out of the captivity made booths, and dwelt in the booths; for since the days of Joshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.
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 Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the Law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto 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.
