< Nehemiah 8 >
1 And they gathered all the people like a person one to the open space which [was] before [the] gate of the water and they said to Ezra the scribe to bring [the] scroll of [the] law of Moses which he had commanded Yahweh Israel.
samledes hele Folket fuldtalligt paa den aabne Plads foran Vandporten og bad Ezra den Skriftlærde om at hente Bogen med Mose Lov, som HERREN havde paalagt Israel.
2 And he brought Ezra the priest the law before the assembly from man and unto woman and every [one who] understood to listen on day one of the month seventh.
Saa hentede Præsten Ezra Loven og fremlagde den for Forsamlingen, Mænd, Kvinder og alle, der havde Forstand til at høre; det var den første Dag i den syvende Maaned;
3 And he read aloud in it before the open space which - [was] before [the] gate of the water from the light until [the] middle of the day before the men and the women and the [ones who] understood and [the] ears of all the people [were] to [the] scroll of the law.
og vendt mod den aabne Plads foran Vandporten læste han den op fra Daggry til Middag for Mændene, Kvinderne og dem, der kunde fatte det, og alt Folket lyttede til Lovbogens Ord.
4 And he stood Ezra the scribe on a high platform of wood which people had made for the matter and he stood beside him Mattithiah and Shema and Anaiah and Uriah and Hilkiah and Maaseiah on right [hand] his and from left his Pedaiah and Mishael and Malkijah and Hashum and Hashbaddanah Zechariah Meshullam.
Ezra den Skriftlærde stod paa en Forhøjning af Træ, som var lavet i den Anledning, og ved Siden af ham stod til højre Mattitja, Sjema, Anaja, Urija, Hilkija og Ma'aseja, til venstre Pedaja, Misjael, Malkija, Hasjum, Hasjbaddana, Zekarja og Mesjullam.
5 And he opened Ezra the scroll to [the] eyes of all the people for above all the people he was and just as opened [it] he they stood up all the people.
Og Ezra aabnede Bogen i hele Folkets Paasyn, thi han stod højere end Folket, og da han aabnede den, rejste hele Folket sig op.
6 And he blessed Ezra Yahweh God great and they answered all the people amen - amen in [the] raising of hands their and they bowed low and they bowed down to Yahweh face [the] ground towards.
Derpaa lovpriste Ezra HERREN, den store Gud, og hele Folket svarede med oprakte Hænder: Amen, Amen! Og de bøjede sig og kastede sig med Ansigtet til Jorden for HERREN.
7 And Jeshua and Bani and Sherebiah - Jamin Akkub Shabbethai - Hodiah Maaseiah Kelita Azariah Jozabad Hanan Pelaiah and the Levites [were] causing to understand the people the law and the people [were] at place their.
Og Leviterne Jesua, Bani, Sjerebja, Jamin, Akkub, Sjabbetaj, Hodija, Ma'aseja, Kelita, Azarja, Jozabad, Hanan og Pelaja udlagde Loven for Folket, medens Folket blev paa sin Plads,
8 And they read aloud in the scroll in [the] law of God making clear and they gave [the] sense and they understood the reading.
og de oplæste Stykke for Stykke af Bogen med Guds Lov og udlagde det, saa man kunde fatte det.
9 And he said Nehemiah he [was] the governor and Ezra the priest - the scribe and the Levites who were causing to understand the people to all the people this day [is] holy it to Yahweh God your may not you mourn and may not you weep for [were] weeping all the people when heard they [the] words of the law.
Derpaa sagde Nehemias, det er Statholderen, og Præsten Ezra den Skriftlærde og Leviterne, der underviste Folket, til alt Folket: Denne Dag er helliget HERREN eders Gud! Sørg ikke og græd ikke! Thi hele Folket græd, da de hørte Lovens Ord.
10 And he said to them go eat fat foods and drink sweet things and send portions to [any whom] nothing [is] prepared for him for [is] holy this day to lord our and may not you be grieved for [the] joy of Yahweh it [is] refuge your.
Og han sagde til dem: Gaa hen og spis fede Spiser og drik søde Drikke og send noget til dem, der intet har, thi denne Dag er helliget vor Herre; vær ikke nedslaaede, thi HERRENS Glæde er eders Styrke!
11 And the Levites [were] making quiet all the people saying hush! for this day [is] holy and may not you be grieved.
Og Leviterne tyssede paa alt Folket og sagde: Vær stille, thi denne Dag er hellig, vær ikke nedslaaede!
12 And they went all the people to eat and to drink and to send portions and to make joy great for they had understood the words which they had made known to them.
Da gik alt Folket hen og spiste og drak og sendte Gaver, og de fejrede en stor Glædesfest; thi de fattede Ordene, man havde kundgjort dem.
13 And on the day second they gathered [the] leaders of the fathers of all the people the priests and the Levites to Ezra the scribe and to gain insight into [the] words of the law.
Næste Dag samledes Overhovederne for alt Folkets Fædrenehuse og Præsterne og Leviterne hos Ezra den Skriftlærde for at mærke sig Lovens Ord,
14 And they found written in the law which he had commanded Yahweh by [the] hand of Moses that they will dwell [the] people of Israel in booths at the festival in the month seventh.
og i Loven som HERREN havde paabudt ved Moses, fandt de skrevet, at Israeliterne paa Højtiden i den syvende Maaned skulde bo i Løvhytter,
15 And that they will make proclamation and they may cause to pass a proclamation in all cities their and in Jerusalem saying go out the hill country and bring leaves of olive and leaves of tree[s] of oil and leaves of myrtle and leaves of palm trees and leaves of tree[s] leafy to make booths according to [what] is written.
og at man i alle deres Byer og i Jerusalem skulde udraabe og kundgøre følgende Budskab: Gaa ud i Bjergene og hent Grene af ædle og vilde Oliventræer, Myrter, Palmer og andre Løvtræer for at bygge Løvhytter som foreskrevet!
16 And they went out the people and they brought [leaves] and they made for themselves booths each one on own roof his and in courtyards their and in [the] courtyards of [the] house of God and in [the] open space of [the] gate of the water and in [the] open space of [the] gate of Ephraim.
Saa gik Folket ud og hentede det og byggede sig Løvhytter paa deres Tage og i deres Forgaarde og i Guds Hus's Forgaarde og paa de aabne Pladser ved Vandporten og Efraimsporten.
17 And they made all the assembly which had returned from the captivity - booths and they dwelt in the booths for not they had done since [the] days of Jeshua [the] son of Nun thus [the] people of Israel until the day that and it was joy great very.
Og hele Forsamlingen, der var vendt tilbage fra Fangenskabet, byggede Løvhytter og boede i dem. Thi fra Josuas, Nuns Søns, Dage og lige til den Dag havde Israeliterne ikke gjort det, og der herskede saare stor Glæde.
18 And he read aloud in [the] scroll of [the] law of God a day - in a day from the day first until the day last and they celebrated a festival seven days and on the day eighth an assembly according to the ordinance.
Og han læste op af Bogen med Guds Lov Dag for Dag fra den første til den sidste; og de fejrede Højtiden i syv Dage, og paa den ottende holdtes der festlig Samling paa foreskreven Maade.
