Nehemiah 8
1 All the people gathered themselves together as one man into the square that was before the Water Gate; and they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the scroll of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel.
HOAKOAKOAIA mai la ka ahakanaka a pau e like me ke kanaka hookahi ma kahi akea ma ke alo o ka puka wai; a olelo aku la lakou ia Ezera i ke kakauolelo e lawe mai i ka buke o ke kanawai o Mose, ka mea a Iehova i kauoha mai ai i ka Iseraela.
2 Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly, both men and women, and all who could hear with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month.
A lawe mai la o Ezera ke kahuna i ke kanawai imua o ka ahakanaka o na kane a me na wahine a me na mea a pau i hiki ia lakou ke lohe a e manao iho, i ka la mua o ka malama ehiku.
3 And he read it before the square that was before the Water Gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women, and of those who could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive to the scroll of the law.
Heluhelo iho la oia iloko olaila ma ke alo o kahi akea e kupono ana i ka puka wai, mai ka wanaao a hiki i ke awakea, imua o na kane a me na wahine, a me ka poe i hiki ia lakou ke noonoo; a ma ka buke no o ke kanawai na pepeiao o ka ahakanaka a pau.
4 Ezra the scribe stood on 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.
Ku ae la o Ezera ke kakauolelo ma ka awai laau, ka mea a lakou i kukulu ai no keia hana; a ku pu ae la me ia o Matitia a me Sema a me Anaia a me Uria a me Hilekia a me Maaseia ma kona lima akau; a ma kona lima hema, o Pedaia, a me Misaela, a me Malekia, a me Hasuma a me Hasebadana, Zekaria, Mesulama.
5 Ezra opened the scroll in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people; ) and when he opened it, all the people stood up:
Wehe ae la o Ezera i ka buke imua o na maka o ka ahakanaka a pau; (no ka mea, maluna ae no ia o ka ahakanaka a pau; ) a i kona wehe ana, ku ae la ka ahakanaka a pau iluna:
6 and Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. All the people answered, "Amen, Amen," with the lifting up of their hands. They bowed their heads, and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground.
A hoomaikai aku la o Ezera ia Iehova i ke Akua nui: a pane mai la ka ahakanaka a pau, Amene, Amene, me ka hapai ana i ko lakou mau lima iluna; a kulou iho la lakou, a hoomana aku la ia Iehova ilalo no ko lakou alo ma ka honua.
7 Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, the Levites, explained the law to the people, and the people stayed in their place.
A o Iesua, a me Bani, a me Serebia, lamina, Akuba, Sabetai, Hodia, Maaseia, Kelita, Azaria, Iozabada, Hanana, Pelaia, a me na Levi, hoakaka aku la lakou i ka ahakanaka i ke kanawai; aia hoi ka ahakanaka ma ko lakou wahi.
8 They read in the scroll, in the law of God, distinctly; and they gave the sense, so that they understood the reading.
Heluhelu iho la lakou ma ka buke o ke kanawai o ke Akua me ka pololei, hoakaka'ku no i ke ano, a hoomoakaka hoi i ka heluhelu ana.
9 Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites who taught the people, said to all the people, "This day is holy to the LORD your God. Do not mourn, nor weep." For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.
A o Nehemia ke kiaaina, a me Ezera ke kahuna, ke kakauolelo, a me na Levi ka poe e ao aku ana i na kanaka, olelo aku la i ka poe kanaka a pau, He la hoano no keia no Iehova ko oakou Akua; mai u, aole hoi e uwe. No ka mea, uwe iho la ka ahakanaka a pau i ko lakou lohe ana i na olelo o Ke kanawai.
10 Then he said to them, "Go your way. Eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not be grieved; for the joy of the LORD is your strength."
I aku la oia ia lakou, E hele aku oukou e ai i na mea momona, e inu hoi i na mea ono, a e haawi aku i kauwahi na ka poe i makaukau ole kahi mea no lakou; no ka mea, he la hoano keia no ko kakou Haku: a mai noho a kaumaha; no ka mea, o ka olioli o Iehova oia no ko oukou pakaua.
11 So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, "Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be grieved."
Pela i hoomalielie aku ai na Levi i ka ahakanaka a pau, i aku la, E hamau, no ka mea, he la hoano keia; mai noho a kaumaha.
12 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 to them.
A hele aku la ka ahakanaka a pau e ai, a e inu, a e haawi aku i kauwahi, a e hana i ka olioli nui, no ka mea, ua ike lakou i na olelo i haiia'ku ai ia lakou.
13 On the second day were gathered together the heads of ancestral houses of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, to Ezra the scribe, even to give attention to the words of the law.
Ai ka lua o ka la houluuluia mai la ka poe koikoi o na makua o ka ahakanaka a pau, o na kahuna a me na Levi io Ezera la i ke kakauolelo, e ike i na olelo o ke kanawai.
14 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;
A loaa ia lakou ka mea i kakauia'i ma ke kanawai, ka mea a Iehova i hauoha mai ai ma o Mose la, i noho ka Iseraela iloko o na kauhalelewa i ka ahaaina o ka hiku o ka malama:
15 and that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, "Go out to the mountain, and get 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."
A i kala aku ai lakou a hai aku ma na kulanakauhale a pau o lakou, a ma Ierusalema, me ka i ana'ku, Ou haele aku i ka mauna, a e lawe mai i na lala oliva, a me na lala o ka oliva ulu wale, a me na lala hadasa, a me na lala loulu, a me na lala o ka laau ulu nui, e hana i na hale malumalu e like me ka mea i kakauia'i.
16 So the people went out, and brought them, and made themselves booths, everyone on the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of God's house, and in the broad place of the Water Gate, and in the broad place of the Ephraim Gate.
A haele aku la ka ahakanaka, a lawe mai la, a hana iho la no lakou i na hale malumalu, kela kanaka keia kanaka maluna iho o kona hale, a ma ko lakou mau kahua, a ma na kahua o ka hale o ke Akua, a ma kahi akea o ka puka wai, a ma kahi akea o ka puka o Eperaima.
17 All the assembly of those who had come again out of the captivity made booths, and lived in the booths; for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun to that day the children of Israel had not done so. There was very great gladness.
A o ka ahakanaka a pau i hoi mai la mai ka lawe pio ana mai, hana iho la lakou i na hale malumalu, a noho no hoi iloko o na hale malumalu; no ka mea, aole i hana ka Iseraela pela mai na la mai o Iosua ke keiki a Nuna a hiki mai i neia la. A nui loa iho la ka hanoli ana.
18 Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the scroll of the law of God. They kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the ordinance.
A heluhelu iho la oia ma ka buke o ke kanawai o ke Akua i kela la i keia la, mai ka la mua mai a hiki i ka la hope. Hana iho la lakou i ka ahaaina i na la ehiku, a i ka walu o ka la he halawai, e like me ka mea i kauohaia'i.
