Nehemiah 8
1 All the people gathered as one man in the open area in front of the Water Gate. They asked Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Law of Moses, which Yahweh had commanded Israel.
Hene nifanontoñe hoe ondaty raik’ an-tameañe aolo’ i lalam-bein-dranoy ondatio; le nisaontsy amy Ezra mpanokitse ty handesa’e i boke Hà’ i Mosè linili’ Iehovà Israeley.
2 On the first day of the seventh month, Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly, both men and women, and all who could hear and understand.
Aa le nendese’ i Ezra mpisoroñe añatrefa’ i fivoriy t’i Hake, amo lahilahio naho rakembao vaho amy ze hene nahajanjiñe am-paharendrehañe, amy androm-baloha’ i volam-pahafitoiy.
3 He faced the open area in front of the Water Gate, and he read from it from early morning until midday, before men and women, and any who could understand, and all the people listened attentively to the book of the law.
Le namaky amy bokey re, aolo’ i kiririsan-dalambein-dranoy, nifototse maraindray ampara’ te tsipinde-mena, añatrefa’ o lahilahio naho o rakembao naho ze naharendreke; vaho nitsatsike i boke Hàkey o ravembia’ ondaty iabio.
4 Then Ezra the scribe stood on a high wooden platform which the people had made for the purpose. Standing beside him were Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right side; and Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam were standing on his left side.
Nijohañe am-panongan-katae eo t’i Ezra, mpanokitse, amy rinanjiñe ho amy raha zaiy, le nijohañe añ’ila’e eo t’i Matitià naho i Semà naho i Oriià naho i Kilkià vaho i Maaseià am-pità’e havana le am-pità’e havia eo t’i Pedaià naho i Misaele naho i Malkià naho i Kasome naho i Kasbadanà, i Zekarià vaho i Mesolame.
5 Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was standing above the people, and when he opened it all the people stood up.
Le sinoka’ i Ezra ampahaoniña’ ondaty iabio i boke—amy t’ie ambone’ ondatio—aa ie nanokak’ aze, songa niongake ondatio;
6 Ezra gave thanks to Yahweh, the great God, and all the people lifted up their hands and answered, “Amen! Amen!” Then they bowed their heads and worshiped Yahweh with their faces to the ground.
naho nañandriañe Iehovà, i Andrianañahare jabahinakey t’i Ezra; vaho sindre nanoiñe ty hoe ondatio: Amene, Ie Izay! am-pañonjonam-pitàñe; ie nibaboke. laharañe mb’an-tane, te nitalaho añatrefa’ Iehovà;
7 Also Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah—the Levites—helped the people understand the law, while the people remained in their place.
le nampibejañe i Hake am’ondatio t’Iesòa naho i Baný naho i Serebià, Iamine, i Akobe, i Sabetay, i Hodià, i Maaseià, i Kelità, i Azarià, Iozabade, i Kanàne, i Pelaià; songa nte-Levy vaho nitobok’ an-toe’ iareo eo ondatio.
8 They read in the book, The Law of God, making it clear with interpretation and giving the meaning so the people understood the reading.
Aa le vinaki’ iareo i boke Hàn’ Añaharey an-dam-bolañe vaho natoro’ iereo ty heve’e, hahaoniña’ ondatio i nivakieñey.
9 Nehemiah the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who were interpreting to the people said to all the people, “This day is holy to Yahweh your God. Do not mourn or weep.” For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law.
Le nanao ty hoe am’ ondatio t’i Nekemià, Tirsatà naho i Ezra, mpirosoñe naho mpanokitse, ie nañoke ondatio o nte-Levio: Miavake am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo ty andro toy, ko mirovetse, ko mangololoike. Amy te nangoihoy ty tañy ondaty iabio ami’ty fijanjiñañe ty tsara’ i Hake.
10 Then Nehemiah said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat and have something sweet to drink, and send some of it to one who has nothing prepared, for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not be grieved, for the joy of Yahweh is your strength.”
Le nanoa’e ty hoe, Akia, mikamà ty mafiry, minoma ty mamy, le andivao amo tsy nañalankañeo amy te miavake amy Talèntikañey ty andro toy vaho ko miharovetse; fa haozara’ areo te mirebek’ am’ Iehovà.
11 So the Levites made the people be quiet, saying, “Hush! for this day is holy. Do not be grieved.”
Aa le nampianjiñe’ o nte-Levio ondaty iabio, ami’ty hoe: Mianjiña, fa miavake ty androany; le ko manahelo.
12 Then all the people went their way to eat and to drink and to share food and to celebrate with great joy because they had understood the words that were made known to them.
Aa le nifampiriaria mb’eo ondatio nikama naho ninoñe naho nandiva vaho nirebeke, amy te niazo’ iareo i tsara nitaroñeñe am’ iereoy.
13 On the second day the leaders of the ancestors' families from all the people, the priests and the Levites, came together to Ezra the scribe to gain insight from the words of the law.
Nifanontoñe amy Ezra, mpanokitse, amy andro faha-roey o mpiaolon’ anjomban-droae’eo, o mpisoroñeo vaho o nte-Levio, hininike ty tsara’ i Hàke.
14 They found written in the law how Yahweh had commanded through Moses that the people of Israel should live in shelters during the festival of the seventh month.
Tendrek’ am’ iereo te sinokitse amy Hake ao i nandilia’ Iehovà añamy Mosèy te hitobok’ an-tsokemitraha ao o ana’ Israeleo amy sabadidam-bolam-paha-fitoy;
15 They should make a proclamation in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, “Go out into the hill country, and bring back branches from olive and wild olive trees, and from myrtle, palms and shade trees, to make shelters, as it is written.”
le naboele iereo naho nikoiheñe amo rova’ iareo iabio naho e Ierosalaime ao ty hoe: Mañitrifa mb’am-bohitse mb’eo le mangalà sampan-olive naho sampan-karadranto añ’ala ao naho sampa mañidè naho tsampan-tsatrañe naho bodan-katae handranjiañe sokemitraha ty amy pinatetsey.
16 So the people went out and brought the branches back and made themselves shelters, each on their own roofs, in their courtyards, in the courts of the house of God, in the open area in front of the Water Gate, and in the square at the Gate of Ephraim.
Aa le nitoha añe ondatio, ninday vaho namboatse sokemitraha, songa an-tafon’ anjomba’e eo naho ankiririsa’e ey naho an-kiririsan’ anjomban’ Añahare eo naho an-tameañe an-dalambein-drano ey vaho an-toen-dalambei-Efraime mielatse ey.
17 All the assembly of those who had returned from captivity made shelters and lived in them. For since the days of Joshua son of Nun to that day, the people of Israel had not celebrated this festival, and so their joy was very great.
Namboatse naho nitobok’ amo sokemitraha’eo i valobohòke iaby niavy boak’ am-pandrohizañey; fa sikal’ añ’andro Iehosoa ana’ i None, ampara’ i andro zay tsy nanoe’ o ana’ Israeleo zay; vaho nionjoñe ty firebehañe.
18 Also day by day, from the first day to the last, Ezra read from the book of the law of God. They kept the festival for seven days and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, in obedience to the decree.
Le nivakie’e boak’ andro boak’ andro, mifototse amy andro valoha’ey i boke Hàn’ Añaharey; nitana’ iareo fito andro i sabadidakey; vaho nanoeñe fivory miavake i andro fahavaloy, ty amy fepètsey.
