Nehemiah 8
1 And all the people are gathered as one man unto the broad place that [is] before the water-gate, and they say to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, that Jehovah commanded Israel.
ji duto nochokore kanyakla e laru manie e nyim kama iluongo ni Dhoranga Pi. Ne gikone Ezra, japuonj chik mondo okel Kitabu mar Chik mar Musa, ma Jehova Nyasaye ne osechiko jo-Israel.
2 And Ezra the priest bringeth the law before the assembly, both of men and women, and every one intelligent to hear, on the first day of the seventh month,
Omiyo e odiechiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe mar abiriyo, Ezra jadolo nokelo chik e nyim kanyakla mar ji, mane otingʼo chwo kod mon kod jogo duto mane nyalo winjo tiend chike.
3 and he readeth in it before the broad place that [is] before the water-gate, from the light till the middle of the day, over-against the men, and the women, and those intelligent, and the ears of all the people [are] unto the book of the law.
Nosomo chikego matek ayanga chakre okinyi nyaka odiechiengʼ tir e nyim chwo, mon kod joma moko mane nyalo winjo tiend chikego kochungʼ momanyore gi laru mar ka miluongo ni Dhoranga Pi. Kendo ji duto nochiko itgi malongʼo ne gik mondikie Kitabu mar Chik.
4 And Ezra the scribe standeth on a tower of wood that they made for the purpose, and Mattithiah standeth near him, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right; and on his left Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchijah, and Hashum, and Hashbaddana, Zechariah, Meshullam.
Ezra japuonj chik nochungʼ ewi bao motingʼore gi malo mane oger nikech nyasini. E bathe yo korachwich ne nitie Matithia, Shema, Anaya, Uria, Hilkia, kod Maseya; to yo koracham ne nitie Pedaya, Mishael, Malkija, Hashum, Hashbadana, Zekaria kod Meshulam.
5 And Ezra openeth the book before the eyes of all the people — for above all the people he hath been — and at his opening [it] all the people have stood up,
Ezra noelo kitabuno kendo ji duto ne nyalo nene nikech nochungʼ kama otingʼore gi malo moyombogi; to kane oele, ji duto nochungʼ malo.
6 and Ezra blesseth Jehovah, the great God, and all the people answer, 'Amen, Amen,' with lifting up of their hands, and they bow and do obeisance to Jehovah — faces to the earth.
Ezra nopako Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasaye Maduongʼ, kendo ji duto notingʼo bedegi malo mi gidwoko niya, “Amin! Amin!” Bangʼe negipodho auma mi gilamo Jehova Nyasaye ka gikulo wiyegi piny.
7 And Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, giving the people understanding in the law, and the people, [are] on their station,
Jo-Lawi mane opuonjo ji chike ka jogo ochungʼ kanyo ne gin: Jeshua, Bani, Sherebia, Jamin, Akub, Shabethai, Hodia, Maseya, Kelita, Azaria, Jozabad, Hanan kod Peleya.
8 and they read in the book, in the law of God, explaining — so as to give the meaning, and they give understanding to the convocation.
Ne gisomo Kitabu mar Chik mar Nyasaye, ka gilero tiende kendo gichiwo tiend chik mondo ji owinj malongʼo gima isomo.
9 And Nehemiah — he [is] the Tirshatha — saith (and Ezra the priest, the scribe, and the Levites who are instructing the people) to all the people, 'To-day is holy to Jehovah your God, do not mourn, nor weep:' for all the people are weeping at their hearing the words of the law.
Bangʼe Nehemia ma jatelo, Ezra jadolo kendo japuonj chik, kod jo-Lawi mane puonjo ji nowachonegi duto niya, “Odiechiengni owal ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu. Kik uywagi kendo kik ugo nduru.” Nimar ji duto nosebedo ka goyo nduru kane gichiko itgi ka giwinjo weche manie Chik.
10 And he saith to them, 'Go, eat fat things, and drink sweet things, and sent portions to him for whom nothing is prepared, for to-day [is] holy to our Lord, and be not grieved, for the joy of Jehovah is your strength.'
Nehemia nowacho niya, “Dhiuru kendo ubed moil ka uchamo chiemo moyier kod math mamit, bangʼe uor moko ne joma onge gi gima gichamo. Odiechiengni owalne Ruodhwa. Kik ubed gi kuyo, nikech mor mar Jehova Nyasaye e tekou.”
11 And the Levites are keeping all the people silent, saying, 'Be silent, for to-day [is] holy, and be not grieved.'
Jo-Lawi nokweyo jogo duto kawacho niya, “Kik chunyu chandre, nikech odiechiengni en odiechiengʼ mowal, bende kik ubed gi kuyo.”
12 And all the people go to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great joy, because they have understood concerning the words that they made known to them.
Bangʼe ji duto nodhi mondo gichiem kendo gimethi, gior bath chiemo kendo gitim nyasi gi ilo maduongʼ, nikech koro ne gisengʼeyo tiend weche mane osomnegi.
13 And on the second day have been gathered heads of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to act wisely concerning the words of the law.
E odiechiengʼ mar ariyo mar dwe, jotend anywola duto, kaachiel gi jodolo kod jo-Lawi, nochokore but Ezra jandiko mondo gichik itgi malongʼo ni weche manie Chik.
14 And they find written in the law that Jehovah commanded by the hand of Moses, that the sons of Israel dwell in booths in the feast, in the seventh month,
Gigo mane giyudo kondik ei Chik mane Jehova Nyasaye owacho kokalo kuom Musa, ni jo-Israel nyaka dagi e kambi e kinde mar nyasi mar dwe mar abiriyo,
15 and that they proclaim and cause to pass over all their cities, (and in Jerusalem, ) saying, 'Go ye out to the mount, and bring leaves of the olive, and leaves of the oil tree, and leaves of the myrtle, and leaves of the palms, and leaves of thick trees, to make booths as it is written.'
kendo ni nyaka giyal wachni mi gilande e miechgi matindo kod e Jerusalem niya, “Wuoguru udhi e pinje mag gode kendo ukel bede moaye yadh zeituni kod yiende mag bungu mag zeituni, kendo koa e yiend madat, kor yiend othith kod yiende man-gi tipo, mondo losgo kambi,” mana kaka ondiki.
16 And the people go out, and bring in, and make for themselves booths, each on his roof, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the broad place of the water-gate, and in the broad place of the gate of Ephraim.
Omiyo ji nowuok kendo negidwogo gi bede yien mi gigero kambi ewi tat utegi giwegi, e laru mag-gi, e laru mar od Nyasaye kod laru man but kama iluongo ni Dhoranga Pi, to machielo manie Dhoranga Efraim.
17 And they make — all the assembly of the captives of the captivity — booths, and they sit in booths; for the sons of Israel had not done, from the days of Jeshua son of Nun, so unto that day, and there is very great joy.
Oganda duto mane odwogo koa e twech nogero kambi mag dak mi gidakie. Kochakore ndalo Joshua wuod Nun nyaka e odiechiengno, jo-Israel ne pod ok obedo gi nyasi machalo gi ma; kendo ne gin gi mor maduongʼ miwuoro.
18 And he readeth in the book of the law of God day by day, from the first day till the last day, and they make a feast seven days, and on the eighth day a restraint, according to the ordinance.
Odiechiengʼ ka odiechiengʼ, chakre odiechiengʼ mokwongo nyaka mogik, Ezra ne somo Kitap Chik mar Nyasaye. Negitimo nyasini kuom ndalo abiriyo, to chiengʼ mar aboro, kaluwore gi chik, ne nitiere chokruok mar kanyakla.
