< 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.
Na rĩrĩ, mweri wa mũgwanja wagĩkinya-rĩ, andũ a Isiraeli magĩkorwo maatũũrĩte thĩinĩ wa matũũra mao. Nao andũ othe makĩũngana marĩ ta mũndũ ũmwe kĩhaaro-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩarĩ mbere ya Kĩhingo kĩa Maaĩ. Nao makĩĩra Ezara ũrĩa mwandĩki-marũa arute Ibuku rĩrĩa rĩa Watho wa Musa ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte andũ a Isiraeli.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mũthenya wa mbere wa mweri wa mũgwanja, Ezara ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai agĩtwara ibuku rĩu rĩa Watho mbere ya kĩũngano kĩu kĩonganĩte kĩa arũme na andũ-a-nja, na arĩa angĩ othe mangĩahotire gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ ũhoro ũcio.
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.
Agĩthoma ibuku rĩu aanĩrĩire kuuma rũciinĩ nginya mĩaraho, angʼetheire kĩhaaro kĩrĩa kĩarĩ mbere ya Kĩhingo kĩa Maaĩ, arĩ mbere ya arũme, na andũ-a-nja, na andũ arĩa angĩ mangĩahotire gũtaũkĩrwo nĩ ũhoro ũcio. Nao andũ othe magĩtega matũ, magĩthikĩrĩria ciugo cia Ibuku rĩa Watho.
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.
Ezara ũrĩa mwandĩki-marũa aarũgamĩte igũrũ rĩa gĩtara kĩa mbaũ kĩrĩa gĩakĩtwo nĩ ũndũ wa ũndũ ũcio kĩũmbe. Mwena wake wa ũrĩo haarũgamĩte Matithia, na Shema, na Anaia, na Uria, na Hilikia, na Maaseia, naguo mwena wa ũmotho hakarũgama Pedaia, na Mishaeli, na Malikija, na Hashumu, na Hashibadana, na Zekaria, na Meshulamu.
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.
Ezara akĩhingũra ibuku rĩu. Andũ othe nĩmamuonaga tondũ aarũgamĩte handũ hatũũgĩru. Na rĩrĩa aahingũrire ibuku, andũ othe makĩrũgama na igũrũ.
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.
Ezara akĩgooca Jehova, Ngai ũrĩa mũnene; nao andũ othe makĩoya moko mao na igũrũ makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ameni! Ameni!” Magĩcooka makĩinamĩrĩra, makĩhooya Jehova maturumithĩtie mothiũ mao thĩ.
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.
Nao Alawii, na nĩo Jeshua, na Bani, na Sherebia, na Jamini, na Akubu, na Shabethai, na Hodia, na Maaseia, na Kelita, na Azaria, na Jozabadu, na Hanani, na Pelaia, makĩruta andũ ũhoro wa Watho, andũ acio marũgamĩte o hau.
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.
Magĩthoma kuuma Ibuku rĩa Watho wa Ngai, magĩtaũraga na magĩtaaragĩria wega nĩgeetha andũ acio mataũkĩrwo wega nĩ ũhoro ũcio wathomagwo.
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.
Ningĩ Nehemia ũrĩa barũthi wa kũu na Ezara mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na mwandĩki-marũa hamwe na Alawii arĩa maarutaga andũ, makĩĩra andũ acio othe atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya ũyũ wa ũmũthĩ nĩmwamũrĩre Jehova Ngai wanyu. Mũtigaacakaye kana mũrĩre.” Nĩgũkorwo andũ acio othe nĩmarĩraga maigua ciugo cia Watho ũcio.
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 akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũgekenie na irio iria njega, na mũnyue indo irĩ mũrĩo, na indo icio imwe mũhe arĩa matarĩ na kĩndũ mathondekeirwo. Mũthenya wa ũmũthĩ nĩmwamũrĩre Mwathani witũ. Mũtikagĩe na kĩeha, nĩgũkorwo gĩkeno kĩa Jehova nĩkĩo hinya wanyu.”
11 And the Levites [were] making quiet all the people saying hush! for this day [is] holy and may not you be grieved.
Alawii makĩhooreria andũ acio othe, makĩmeeraga atĩrĩ, “Hoorerai tondũ ũyũ nĩ mũthenya mwamũre. Mũtikagĩe na kĩeha.”
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.
Ningĩ andũ othe magĩthiĩ makarĩe na makanyue, na makaheane irio imwe, na magakũngũĩre makenete nĩ ũndũ nĩmataũkĩirwo nĩ ciugo iria maarutĩtwo.
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.
Mũthenya wa keerĩ wa mweri, atongoria a nyũmba ciothe, marĩ hamwe na athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii, makĩũngana harĩ Ezara ũcio mwandĩki-marũa nĩguo mathikĩrĩrie ciugo cia Watho.
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.
Nao magĩkora kwandĩkĩtwo watho-inĩ ũrĩa Jehova aathanĩte na kanua ka Musa, atĩ andũ a Isiraeli maikarage thĩinĩ wa ithũnũ hĩndĩ ya gĩathĩ kĩa mweri wa mũgwanja,
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.

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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ makiumagara, makĩrehe honge, makĩĩakĩra ithũnũ igũrũ rĩa nyũmba ciao o na nja ciao, na nja cia nyũmba ya Ngai, na kĩhaaro-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩarĩ Kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa Maaĩ, na kĩrĩa kĩarĩ Kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa Efiraimu.

Andũ arĩa othe maacookete kuuma kũrĩa maatwarĩtwo maatahwo makĩĩakĩra ithũnũ, magĩikara thĩinĩ wacio. Kuuma matukũ ma Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni nginya mũthenya ũcio, andũ a Isiraeli matiakoretwo makũngũĩire gĩathĩ kĩu ta ũguo. Nakĩo gĩkeno kĩao kĩarĩ kĩnene mũno.
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.
Mũthenya o mũthenya, kuuma mũthenya wa mbere nginya wa mũthia, Ezara nĩathomaga Ibuku rĩa Watho wa Ngai. Nao nĩmakũngũĩire gĩathĩ kĩu mĩthenya mũgwanja, na mũthenya wa kanana, kũringana na watho, gũkĩgĩa na kĩũngano.
