Nehemiah 8
1 And all the people gathered themselves together as one man in the street that was before the water gate; and they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel.
Yeroo jiʼi torbaffaan gaʼee Israaʼeloonni magaalaawwan ofii isaanii keessa qubatanitti, uummanni hundinuu akkuma nama tokkootti oobdii Karra Bishaanii duratti walitti qabame. Isaanis akka inni Kitaaba Seera Musee kan Waaqayyo Israaʼeliif ajaje sana fiduuf Izraa barsiisaa seeraa sanatti himan.
2 And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month.
Kanaafuu Izraan lubichi guyyaa jalqaba jiʼa torbaffaatti fuula waldaa dhiiraa fi dubartii warra waa hubachuu dandaʼan hundaa duratti Seera sana fide.
3 And he read in it before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law.
Innis barii ganamaa jalqabee hamma saafaatti gara oobdii Karra Bishaaniin duratti garagalee fuula dhiirotaa, dubartootaa fi namoota waa hubachuu dandaʼan kaanii duratti sagalee isaa ol fudhatee seera sana dubbise. Uummanni hundis kitaaba Seeraa sana qalbeeffatee dhaggeeffate.
4 And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam.
Izraan barsiisaan seeraa sun waltajjii mukaa kan kaayyoo kanaaf hojjetame irra dhaabate. Isa biras karaa mirga isaa Matiitiyaa, Shemaa, Anaayaa, Uuriyaa, Hilqiyaa fi Maʼaseyaatu dhaabate; karaa bitaa isaa immoo Phedaayaa, Miishaaʼeel, Malkiyaa, Haashum, Hashbadaanaa, Zakkaariyaasii fi Meshulaamitu dhaabatee ture.
5 And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people; ) and when he opened it, all the people stood up:
Izraan Kitaabicha bane. Sababii inni isaanii ol dhaabachaa tureef namoonni hundi isa arguu dandaʼan; akkuma inni kitaabicha baneenis sabni hundi kaʼee dhaabate.
6 And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground.
Izraanis Waaqayyo Waaqa guddicha galateeffate; namoonni hundinuus harka ol qabatanii, “Ameen! Ameen!” jedhanii jalaa qaban. Ergasiis gad jedhanii addaan lafatti gombifamanii Waaqayyoof sagadan.
7 Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place.
Lewwonni jechuunis Yeeshuuʼaan, Baaniin, Sheereebiyaan, Yaamiin, Aquub, Shaabetaayi, Hoodiyaa, Maʼaseyaan, Qeliixaa, Azaariyaa, Yoozaabaad, Haanaanii fi Phelaayaan utuma waldaan achi dhaabatee jiruu seera sana ibsaniif.
8 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
Isaanis akka sabni waan dubbifame sana hubatuuf Kitaaba Seera Waaqaa keessaa dubbisanii ibsuudhaan hiikkaa isaa kennaa turan.
9 And Nehemiah, who is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.
Achii immoo Nahimiyaan bulchaan biyyaa, Izraan lubichi barsiisaan seeraa sunii fi Lewwonni uummataaf ibsa kennaa turan sun hunda isaaniitiin, “Guyyaan kun guyyaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniif qulqulleeffamee dha. Hin gaddinaa yookaan hin booʼinaa” jedhan. Sabni hundi yeroo dubbii seera sanaa dhagaʼetti booʼaa tureetii.
10 Then he said to them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions to them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy to our Lord: neither be ye sad; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.
Kana irratti Nahimiyaan akkana jedhe; “Dhaqaatii nyaata filatamaa nyaadhaa; dhugaatii miʼaawaas dhugaa; warra waan qophaaʼe tokko illee hin qabneefis waa ergaa. Guyyaan kun guyyaa Gooftaa keenyaaf qulqulleeffamee dha. Sababii gammachuun Waaqayyoo jabina keessan taʼeef hin gaddinaa.”
11 So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved.
Lewwonnis, “Calʼisaa; guyyaan kun guyyaa qulqulluudhaatii hin gaddinaa” jedhanii uummata hunda ni tasgabbeessan.
12 And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared to them.
Ergasiis sabni hundi sababii dubbii itti himame sana hubateef nyaatee dhuguuf, nyaata isaa irraa qoodee warra kaaniif illee erguu fi gammachuu guddaan ayyaaneffachuudhaaf kaʼee deeme.
13 And on the second day were gathered together the heads of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, to Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law.
Bultii lammaffaa jiʼa sanaatti abbootiin maatiiwwanii hundinuu dubbii Seera sanaa qalbeeffachuuf lubootaa fi Lewwota wajjin Izraa barsiisaa sana biratti walitti qabaman.
14 And they found written in the law which the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month:
Isaanis akka ajajni Waaqayyo karaa Museen kenne kan, Israaʼeloonni yeroo ayyaana jiʼa torbaffaatti daasii keessa turuu qabu jedhu sun seera keessatti barreeffamee jiru argatan;
15 And that they should declare and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth to the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.
akkasumas akka isaan akkuma barreeffamee jirutti, “Daasii ijaaruudhaaf biyya gaaraatti ol baʼaatii damee ejersaa fi damee ejersa bosonaa, damee kusaayee, damee meexxii fi damee mukkeen baala qabanii fidaa” jedhanii magaalaawwan isaanii fi Yerusaalem keessatti labsuu qaban ni argatan.
16 So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the water gate, and in the street of the gate of Ephraim.
Kanaafuu uummanni sun gad baʼee dameelee fidee tokkoon tokkoon isaanii bantii mana ofii isaanii irratti, oobdii ofii isaanii irratti, oobdii mana Waaqaa irratti, oobdii Karra Bishaanii fi oobdii Karra Efreem bira jiru irratti daasii ijaarratan.
17 And all the congregation of them that had returned from the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Joshua the son of Nun to that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.
Waldaan boojuudhaa deebiʼe hundi daasii ijaarratee keessa jiraate. Bara Iyyaasuu ilma Nuuniitii jalqabee hamma gaafasitti Israaʼeloonni akkasitti hin ayyaaneffanne. Gammachuun isaaniis akka malee guddaa ture.
18 Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the manner.
Izraanis guyyaa jalqabaatii hamma guyyaa dhumaatti guyyuma guyyaan Kitaaba Seera Waaqaa keessaa dubbise. Isaanis guyyaa torba ayyaana sana ayyaaneffatanii guyyaa saddeettaffaatti immoo akkuma seeraatti yaaʼii guddaa godhatan.
