Nehemiah 8
1 Then all the people gathered themselves together as one man, into the broad way that was before the water-gate, —and they spake unto Ezra the scribe, to bring the book of the law of Moses, which Yahweh had commanded 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 So then Ezra the priest brought the law, before the convocation of both men and women, and all that had understanding to hearken, —on 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 read therein, before the broad place which was before the water-gate, from the time it was light, until the noon of the day, in presence of the men and the women, and such as had understanding, —and, the ears of all the people, were unto the book of the law.
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 Ezra the scribe stood upon a lofty platform of wood, which they had made for the purpose, and there stood, beside him, Mattithiah and Shema and Anaiah and Uriah and Hilkiah and Maaseiah, on his right hand, —and, on his left, Pedaiah and Mishael and Malchijah and Hashum and Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, Meshullam.
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 Ezra the scribe opened the book before the eyes of all the people, for, above all the people, was he, —and, when he opened it, all the people, stood up.
Ezra chu mipihon amusoh keina diuvin mun sanglai’ah ana dingin ahi.
6 And Ezra blessed Yahweh the great God, —and all the people responded, Amen! Amen! with the lifting up of their hands, —and they bent their heads and bowed themselves down unto Yahweh, 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 And, Jeshua and Bani and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, did cause the people to understand the law, the people, remaining in their places.
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 So they read in the book of the law of God, distinctly, —and, giving the sense, caused them to understand the reading.
Amahon Pathen danbua konin asimdoh’un, abih bih in mipiho hetthei tah dingin hilchet na aneiyun ahi.
9 Then Nehemiah—he, was the governor—and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites who were causing the people to understand, said unto all the people, To-day, is, holy, unto Yahweh your God, do not mourn, nor weep, —for, weeping, were all the people, 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 So he said unto them—Go your way, eat the fat and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared, for holy is the day, unto our Lord, —and be not grieved, for, the joy of Yahweh, is your 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, were quieting all the people, saying—Hush! for, the day, is holy, —and be not grieved.
Leviten jong mipite chu alhamon’un, “Thipbeh in um’un, kap hih un ajeh chu tuni hi nikho theng ahi,” atiuve.
12 And all the people went their way, to eat and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great rejoicing, —because they had understood the words which were made known unto 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, were gathered together—the ancestral heads of all the people, the priests and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, —even to give attention unto 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 Yahweh gave command through Moses, that the sons of Israel should dwell in booths, during the festival of 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 publish and send along a proclamation throughout all their cities and throughout Jerusalem, saying, Forth to the mountain, and bring in branches of olive, and branches of oleaster, and branches of myrtle, and branches of palms, and branches of thick trees, —to make booths, 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 So the people went forth, and brought in, and made themselves booths, every one upon his roof, 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.
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 convocation of them who had returned out of the captivity made booths, and dwelt in booths, for, since the days of Jeshua son of Nun, had not the sons of Israel done so, unto that day, —and there was very great rejoicing.
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 So he read in the book of the law of God, day by day, from the first day unto the last day, and they kept the festival seven days, and, on the eighth day, a closing feast, according to the regulation.
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.
