Nehemiah 8
1 And all the people assembled 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.
सारा जनता एउटै मानिसजस्तो गरी पानी ढोकाको सामुन्ने खुला क्षेत्रमा भेला भए । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुले इस्राएललाई आज्ञा दिनुभएको मोशाको व्यवस्थाको पुस्तक ल्याउन भनी शास्त्री एज्रालाई भने ।
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.
सातौँ महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा पुजारी एज्राले सुनेर बुझ्न सक्ने पुरुष र स्त्रीहरू दुवैको समुदायको सामु पुस्तक ल्याए ।
3 And he read therein before the street that [was] before the water-gate from the morning until mid-day, 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.
तिनी पानी ढोकाको सामुन्नेको खुला क्षेत्रमा फर्के, र तिनले पुरुष र स्त्रीहरूको सामु बिहान सबेरैदेखि मध्यदिनसम्म यसबाट पढे, अनि सारा मानिसले व्यवस्थाको पुस्तकलाई ध्यान दिएर सुने ।
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.
तब शास्त्री एज्रा मानिसहरूले त्यस्तै कामको लागि बनाएका काठको उच्च मञ्चमा खडा भए । तिनको दाहिनेपट्टि छेउमा मत्तित्याह, शेमा, अनायाह, उरियाह, हिल्कियाह र मासेयाह उभिएका थिए अनि तिनको देब्रेपट्टि पदायाह, मीशाएल, मल्कियाह, हाशूम, हशबदाना, जकरिया र मशुल्लाम उभिएका थिए ।
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:
एज्रा सारा मानिसभन्दा माथि उभिएकाले तिनले सबैले देख्ने गरी पुस्तक खोले, र तिनले पुस्तक खोल्दा सारा मानिस खडा भए ।
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 worshiped the LORD with [their] faces to the ground.
एज्राले महान् परमेश्वर परमप्रभुलाई धन्यावाद दिए, अनि सारा मानिसले आ-आफ्ना हात उठाएर “आमेन! आमेन!” भने । तब तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्ना शिर झुकाए, र भुइँसम्मै निहुरेर परमप्रभुको आराधना गरे ।
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.
लेवीहरू येशूअ, बानी, शरेबियाह, यामीन, अक्कूब, सब्बतै, होदियाह, मासेयाह, कलीता, अजर्याह, योजाबाद, हानान, पलयाहले मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूकै ठाउँमा व्यवस्था बुझ्नलाई मदत गरे ।
8 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused [them] to understand the reading.
तिनीहरूले त्यो पुस्तक अर्थात् परमेश्वरको व्यवस्था पढे र मानिसहरूले बुझ्न सक्ने गरी अर्थ खोलिदिए ।
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.
राज्यपाल नहेम्याह, पुजारीसाथै शास्त्री एज्रा र मानिसहरूलाई अर्थ खोलिदिने लेवीहरूले सारा मानिसलाई भने, “यो दिन परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरका लागि पवित्र दिन हो । शोक नगर र नरोओ ।” किनकि तिनीहरूले व्यवस्थाका वचन सुन्दा सारा मानिस रोएका थिए ।
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.
तब नहेम्याहले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “आ-आफ्नो बाटो लाग, पुस्टाइएको पशु मारेर खाओ, मिठो पेय पदार्थ पिओ अनि आफ्ना निम्ति तयार पार्न नसक्नेहरूका निम्ति पनि थोरै भाग पठाइदेओ किनकि परमप्रभुको आनन्द नै तिमीहरूको शक्ति हो ।”
11 So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day [is] holy; neither be ye grieved.
त्यसैले लेवीहरूले यसो भन्दै मानिसहरूलाई शान्त गराए, “चुप लाग, किनकि यो दिन पवित्र छ । शोक नगर ।”
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.
तब सारा मानिस खानपान गर्न, पिउन, भोजन बाँडचुँड गर्न र बडो आनन्दसाथ उत्सव मनाउन आ-आफ्नो बाटो लागे किनकि तिनीहरूलाई बताइएका वचनहरू तिनीहरूले बुझेका थिए ।
13 And on the second day were assembled the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, to Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law.
दोस्रो दिनमा सारा मानिसका परिवार-परिवारका मुख्य-मुख्य मानिसहरू, पुजारीहरूसाथै लेवीहरू व्यवस्थाका वचनहरूबाट अन्तर्ज्ञान प्राप्त गर्न शास्त्री एज्राकहाँ आए ।
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:
सातौँ महिनाको चाडमा इस्राएलीहरू छाप्रोमा बस्नपर्छ भनी परमप्रभुले मोशाद्वारा आज्ञा गर्नुभएको वचन तिनीहरूले व्यवस्थामा लेखिएको भेट्टाए ।
15 And that they should publish 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.
तिनीहरूले तिनीहरूका सबै सहर र यरूशलेममा यसो भन्दै घोषणा गर्नुपर्छ, “लेखिएअनुसार छाप्रा बनाउनलाई पहाडी देशमा गएर जैतून, जङ्गली जैतून, मेहदी, खजूरका हाँगाहरूसाथै अन्य पातहरू भएका हाँगाहरू लिएर आओ ।”
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.
तब मानिसहरू बाहिर गए, र हाँगाहरू ल्याए अनि हरेकले आ-आफ्नो निम्ति घरको छाना र चोकमा, परमेश्वरका भवनका चोकहरूमा, पानी ढोकाको सामुन्नेको चोकमा र एफ्राएमका ढोकाको चोकमा छाप्राहरू बनाए ।
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 Jeshua the son of Nun to that day, had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.
निर्वासनबाट फर्केकाहरू सबै समुदायले छाप्राहरू बनाई तिनमा बसे । किनकि नूनका छोरा यहोशूको समयदेखि त्यस दिनसम्म इस्राएलीहरूले यो चाड मनाएका थिएनन् । त्यसैले तिनीहरू बडो आनन्दित भए ।
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.
यसबाहेक, पहिलो दिनदेखि पछिल्लो दिनसम्म दिनप्रतिदिन एज्राले परमेश्वरको व्यवस्थाको पुस्तकबाट पढ्ने गर्थै । तिनीहरूले सात दिनसम्म चाड मनाए, र आज्ञाअनुसार आठौँ दिनमा पवित्र सभा थियो ।
