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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Ezra ʋu agbalẽ la. Amewo katã ate ŋu akpɔe, elabena etsi tsitre ɖe kɔkɔƒe, eye esi wòʋu agbalẽa la, ameawo katã tsi tsitre.
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.

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.
Woxlẽ Mawu ƒe Segbalẽ la na wo, eye woɖe eme wòkɔ ale gbegbe be, ameawo te ŋu se nu si xlẽm wole la gɔme.

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.
Nehemia gblɔ na wo be, “Miyi miaɖu nuɖuɖu nyui, miano aha vivi, eye miaɖo ɖe ɖe ame siwo mekpɔ naneke ɖa o. Esia nye ŋkeke kɔkɔe na míaƒe Aƒetɔ la. Migaxa nu o, elabena dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ ɖe Yehowa ŋu nye miaƒe ŋusẽ.”
11 And the Levites [were] making quiet all the people saying hush! for this day [is] holy and may not you be grieved.
Levitɔwo hã fa akɔ na ameawo be, “Miɖi ɖe eme, elabena egbee nye ŋkeke kɔkɔe. Migaxa nu o.”
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.

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.
Esi ŋu ke la, ƒometatɔwo, nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo ƒo ƒu, eye wona agbalẽfiala Ezra gaɖe Seawo me na wo tsitotsito.
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.
Wode dzesii le Seawo sɔsrɔ̃ me be, Yehowa de se to Mose dzi be, ele na Israelviwo be, woanɔ agbadɔwo me le Agbadɔmeŋkekenyuiwo me.
