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 ka huihui te iwi katoa, ano he tangata kotahi, ki te marae i te kuwaha wai, a ka mea ki a Etera karaipi kia mauria mai te pukapuka o te ture a Mohi, o tera i whakahaua e Ihowa ki a Iharaira.
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.
Na ka mauria mai e Etera tohunga te ture ki te aroaro o te whakaminenga, o te tane, o te wahine, o te hunga katoa e mohio ana ki te whakarongo, i te ra tuatahi o te whitu o nga marama.
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.
A ka korerotia e ia i te marae i te kuwaha wai, i te ata iho a taea noatia a waenganui o te ra, i te aroaro o nga tane, o nga wahine, o te hunga whai whakaaro; na tau tonu mai nga taringa o te iwi katoa ki te pukapuka o te ture.
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.
I tu ano a Etera karaipi i runga i te turanga rakau i hanga nei hei mea pera, me te tu ano a Matitia, a Hema, a Anaia, a Uria, a Hirikia, a Maaheia ki tona taha ki matau, a ki tona taha ki maui ko Peraia, ko Mihaera, ko Marakia, ko Hahumu, ko Hah aparana, ko Hakaraia, ko Mehurama.
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.
Na wherahia ana e Etera te pukapuka i te aroaro o te iwi katoa; i runga ake hoki ia i te iwi katoa; a i tana wherahanga, tu ana te iwi katoa.
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.
Na ka whakapai a Etera ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua nui; a ka whakahokia e te iwi katoa, Amine, Amine, me te ara ano o ratou ringa: na tuohu ana ratou, koropiko ana ki a Ihowa, me te ahu ano nga kanohi ki te whenua.
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.
Ko Hehua ano, ko Pani, ko Herepia, ko Iamini, ko Akupu, ko Hapetai, ko Horiia, ko Maaheia, ko Kerita, ko Ataria, ko Iotapara, ko Hanana, ko Peraia, me nga Riwaiti, kei te whakamarama i te iwi ki te ture: tu tonu hoki tera te iwi.
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.
A marama tonu ta ratou korero i te pukapuka o te ture, me te whakaatu ano i nga tikanga, me te whakamarama ano i a ratou i te korerotanga.
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.
Na ka mea a Nehemia, ko ia nei te kawana, a Etera tohunga, te karaipi, me nga Riwaiti i whakaako nei i te iwi, ki te iwi katoa, He ra tapu tenei na Ihowa, na to koutou Atua; kaua e tangi, kaua e pouri. I te tangi hoki te iwi katoa i to ratou rong onga i nga kupu o te ture.
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.
Katahi ia ka mea ki a ratou, Haere, kainga nga mea momona, inumia nga mea reka, hoatu ano etahi wahi kia kawea ma te hunga kahore nei i taka he mea ma ratou; he ra tapu hoki tenei na to tatou Ariki; kaua hoki e pouri; kei te koa hoki ki a Ihowa he kaha mo koutou.
11 And the Levites [were] making quiet all the people saying hush! for this day [is] holy and may not you be grieved.
Heoi i whakamarie nga Riwaiti i te iwi katoa, i mea, Whakarongoa; he tapu hoki te ra nei, kaua hoki e pouri.
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.
Na haere ana te iwi katoa ki te kai, ki te inu, ki te hoatu i etahi wahi ma etahi, ki te whakanui i te hari, no ratou ka mohio ki nga kupu i whakapuakina nei ki a ratou.
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.
Na i te rua o nga ra ka huihui nga ariki o nga whare o nga matua o te iwi katoa, ratou ko nga tohunga, ko nga Riwaiti, ki a Etera karaipi, kia mohiotia ai nga kupu o te ture.
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.
Na ka kitea he mea i tuhituhia ki te ture i whakahaua e Ihowa, ara e Mohi, mo nga tama a Iharaira kia noho ki nga tihokahoka i te hakari i te whitu o nga marama;
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.
Kia karanga nui hoki, kia paku te reo ki o ratou pa katoa, ki Hiruharama hoki, kia mea, Haere ki te maunga, tikina he rau oriwa, he rau rakau hinu, he rau ramarama, he rau nikau, he rau rakau rau maha, hei hanga mo nga tihokahoka, kia rite ai ki te mea i tuhituhia.
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.
Heoi kua puta te iwi ki waho, kei te tiki, hanga ana e ratou he tihokahoka mo ratou ki te tuanui o te whare o tenei, o tenei, ki o ratou marae, ki nga marae ano o te whare o te Atua, ki te marae i te kuwaha wai, ki te marae i te kuwaha o Eparaim a.
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.
Na kua hanga he tihokahoka e te whakaminenga katoa o te hunga i hoki mai i te whakarau, a noho ana i raro i nga tihokahoka; kihai hoki nga tama a Iharaira i pera, o nga ra ano i a Hohua tama a Nunu a taea noatia taua ra. A nui atu te koa.
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.
I korerotia ano e ia te pukapuka o te ture a te Atua i tenei ra, i tenei ra, i te ra tuatahi a tae noa ki te ra whakamutunga. Na e whitu nga ra i mahi ai ratou i te hakari, a i te waru o nga ra, ko te huihuinga nui, ko te mea i whakaritea.
