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.
abantu bonna nga bassa kimu ne bakuŋŋaanira mu kifo ekigazi ekyali mu maaso g’Omulyango gw’Amazzi. Ne bagamba Ezera omuwandiisi, okuleeta Ekitabo ky’Amateeka ga Musa, Mukama ge yalagira Isirayiri.
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.
Ku lunaku olw’olubereberye olw’omwezi ogw’omusanvu, Ezera kabona n’aleeta Ekitabo ky’Amateeka mu maaso g’ekibiina ekyalimu abasajja n’abakazi n’abalala abaali basobola okutegeera.
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.
N’akisomera mu kifo ekigazi mu maaso g’Omulyango gw’Amazzi mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka, okuva ku makya okutuusa essaawa mukaaga ez’omu tuntu, mu maaso g’abasajja n’abakazi n’abalala abasobola okutegeera. Abantu bonna ne batega amatu okuwulira ebyava mu Kitabo ky’Amateeka.
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.
Ezera omuwandiisi n’ayimirira ku kituuti eky’embaawo kye baazimbira omukolo ogwo. Mattisiya, ne Sema, ne Anaya, ne Uliya, ne Kirukiya ne Maaseya be baamuliraana ku mukono gwe ogwa ddyo, ate Pedaya, ne Misayeri, ne Malukiya, ne Kasimu, ne Kasubaddana, ne Zekkaliya ne Mesullamu be baamuliraana ku mukono gwe ogwa kkono.
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.
Awo Ezera n’abikkula ekitabo, abantu bonna nga bamutunuulidde kubanga ekifo we yali ayimiridde kyali waggulu w’abantu bonna, era bwe yali ng’ayanjuluza ekitabo, abantu bonna ne bayimirira.
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.
Ezera ne yeebaza Mukama Katonda omukulu; abantu bonna ne bayimusa emikono gyabwe ne baddamu nti, “Amiina! Amiina!” Ne bavuunama amaaso gaabwe ku ttaka ne basinza Mukama.
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.
Yesuwa, ne Baani, ne Serebiya, ne Yamini, ne Akkubu, ne Sabbesayi, ne Kodiya, ne Masseya, ne Kerita, ne Azaliya, ne Yozabadi, ne Kanani ne Peraya, Abaleevi ne bannyonnyola abantu Amateeka, abantu nga bayimiridde mu bifo byabwe.
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.
Ne basoma mu Kitabo ky’Amateeka ga Katonda, nga bataputa, era nga bannyonnyola amakulu, abantu bategeere ebyasomebwa.
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.
Naye Nekkemiya owessaza, ne Ezera kabona era omuwandiisi, n’Abaleevi abaali bayigiriza abantu, ne bagamba abantu bonna nti, “Olunaku lwa leero lutukuvu eri Mukama Katonda wammwe; temunakuwala so temukaaba.”
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.
Nekkemiya n’abagamba nti, “Mugende mulye ebyassava, munywe n’ebiwoomerera, muweerezeeko n’abo abatalina kye bateeseteese. Leero lunaku lutukuvu eri Mukama, temunakuwala, kubanga essanyu eriva eri Mukama ge maanyi gammwe.”
11 And the Levites [were] making quiet all the people saying hush! for this day [is] holy and may not you be grieved.
Awo Abaleevi ne bakkakkanya abantu bonna, nga boogera nti, “Mubeere bakkakkamu kubanga leero lunaku lutukuvu. Temunakuwala.”
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.
Oluvannyuma abantu bonna ne beddirayo ewaabwe ne balya ne banywa ne baweerezaako ne bannaabwe abatalina kyakulya, era ne basanyuka nnyo, kubanga baategeera amakulu g’ebigambo ebyabategeezebwa.
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.
Ku lunaku olwokubiri olw’omwezi ogwo, abakulu b’ennyumba awamu ne bakabona n’Abaleevi, ne bakuŋŋaanira eri Ezera omuwandiisi okusoma n’okutegeera ebigambo by’Amateeka.
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.
Ne basanga mu byawandiikibwa mu Mateeka, Mukama ge yalagira Musa, nga Abayisirayiri baali bateekwa okusulanga mu weema mu biseera eby’embaga ey’omwezi ogw’omusanvu,
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.
era nga kibagwanidde okubunyisa amawulire ago n’okulangirira mu bibuga byabwe byonna ne mu Yerusaalemi, nga boogera nti, “Mugende mu nsozi mukuŋŋaanye amatabi ag’emizeeyituuni n’ago ag’emizeeyituuni egy’omu nsiko, n’ag’emikadasi, n’ag’enkindu, n’ag’emiti emirala egirina ebikoola ebingi okuzimba weema nga bwe kyawandiikibwa.”
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.
Awo abantu ne bagenda ne bagaleeta ne beezimbira weema, abamu ku busolya bwabwe, ne mu mpya zaabwe, ne mu luggya lw’ennyumba ya Katonda, ne mu kibangirizi okuliraana Omulyango gw’Amazzi, ne mu kibangirizi okuliraana Omulyango gwa Efulayimu.
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.
Awo ekibiina kyonna ekyakomawo okuva mu buwaŋŋanguse, ne beezimbira weema ne babeera omwo; kubanga okuva mu biro bya Yesuwa mutabani wa Nuuni okutuusa ku lunaku olwo, Abayisirayiri baali tebakwatanga kiseera ekyo bwe batyo. Ne basanyuka nnyo nnyini.
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.
Buli lunaku, Ezera n’asomanga mu Kitabo ky’Amateeka ga Katonda okuva ku lunaku olwasooka okutuusa ku lunaku olwasembayo. Ne bakwata embaga okumala ennaku musanvu, ne ku lunaku olw’omunaana, ne bakola olukuŋŋaana, ng’ekiragiro bwe kiri.
