all the people gathered together as one man to the open place that was before the water-gate; and they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which Jehovah had commanded Israel.
2 Saboda haka a rana ta farko ga watan bakwai, Ezra firist, ya kawo Doka a gaban taro, wanda ya ƙunshi maza da mata da dukan waɗanda za su iya fahimta.
And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation, both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month.
3 Ya karanta Dokar da ƙarfi daga safe har tsakar rana yayinda yake a kan dandali da yake fuskantar dandali a gaban Ƙofar Ruwa, gaban maza, mata da kuma sauran mutanen da za su iya fahimta. Dukan mutane kuwa suka saurara a hankali ga karatun Littafin Dokar.
And he read in it before the open place that was before the water-gate from the morning until midday, in presence of 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.
4 Ezra malamin Doka ya tsaya a kan dakalin itacen da aka yi saboda wannan hidima. Kusa da shi a damansa, Mattitiya, Shema, Anahiya, Uriya, Hilkiya da Ma’asehiya suka tsaya; a hagunsa kuma Fedahiya, Mishayel, Malkiya, Hashum, Hashbaddana, Zakariya da Meshullam suka tsaya.
And Ezra the scribe stood upon a high stage of wood, which they had made for the purpose. And beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkijah, and Maaseiah on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchijah, and Hashum, and Hashbaddana, Zechariah, Meshullam.
5 Sai Ezra ya buɗe littafin. Dukan mutane kuwa suka gan shi domin yana tsaye a bisa fiye da inda mutane suke tsaye; yayinda ya buɗe littafin kuwa, dukan mutane suka miƙe tsaye.
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.
6 Ezra ya yabi Ubangiji, Allah mai girma; dukan mutane kuwa suka tā da hannuwansu suka amsa, “Amin! Amin!” Sa’an nan suka sunkuya suka yi wa Ubangiji sujada da fuskokinsu har ƙasa.
And Ezra blessed Jehovah, the great God; and all the people answered, Amen, Amen! with lifting up of their hands; and they bowed their heads, and worshipped Jehovah with their faces to the ground.
7 Lawiyawa, wato, su Yeshuwa, Bani, Sherebiya, Yamin, Akkub, Shabbetai, Hodiya, Ma’asehiya, Kelita, Azariya, Yozabad, Hanan da Felahiya, suka koyar da mutane a cikin Dokar yayinda mutane suke a tsaye a can.
And 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.
8 Suka karanta daga Littafin Dokar Allah, suna sa kowa ya gane, suna kuma ba da fassarar domin mutane su fahimci abin da ake karatu.
And they read in the law of God distinctly out of the book, and gave the sense, and caused [them] to understand the reading.
9 Sa’an nan Nehemiya gwamna, Ezra firist da kuma wanda yake malamin Doka, da Lawiyawa waɗanda suke koyar da mutane, suka ce musu duka, “Wannan rana mai tsarki ce ga Ubangiji Allahnku. Kada ku yi makoki ko kuka.” Gama dukan mutane suna ta kuka yayinda suke sauraran kalmomin Dokar.
And Nehemiah, that is, the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that explained to the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to Jehovah your God: mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law.
10 Nehemiya ya ce, “Ku koma gidajenku ku ci abinci mai kyau, ku sha abin sha mai zaƙi, ku kuma aika wa wanda ba shi da shi. Wannan rana mai tsarki ce ga Ubangijinmu. Kada ku yi baƙin ciki, gama farin cikin Ubangiji shi ne ƙarfinku.”
And 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 the day is holy to our Lord; and be not grieved, for the joy of Jehovah is your strength.
11 Lawiyawa suka rarrashi mutane duka suna cewa, “Ku natsu, gama wannan rana ce mai tsarki. Kada ku yi baƙin ciki.”
And the Levites quieted all the people, saying, Be still! for the day is holy; neither be grieved.
12 Sa’an nan dukan mutane suka koma gidajensu suka ci, suka sha, suka aika wa wanda ba shi da abinci, gama yanzu sun fahimci kalmomin da aka karanta musu.
And all the people went their way, to eat and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great rejoicing. For they had understood the words that were declared to them.
13 A rana ta biyu ga wata, shugabannin iyalai, tare da firistoci da Lawiyawa, suka taru kewaye da Ezra malamin Doka don su mai da hankali ga kalmomin Dokar.
And on the second day were gathered together the chief fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, to Ezra the scribe, even to gain wisdom as to the words of the law.
14 Suka tarar a rubuce a cikin Doka wadda Ubangiji ya umarta ta wurin Musa, cewa Isra’ilawa su zauna a bukkoki a lokaci bikin watan bakwai
And they found written in the law which Jehovah had commanded through Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month,
15 kuma cewa ya kamata su yi shelar wannan magana, su kuma yaɗa ta a duk garuruwansu da kuma cikin Urushalima cewa, “Ku fita zuwa cikin ƙasar tudu ku kawo rassa daga itatuwan zaitun da na zaitun jeji, da kuma daga dargaza, da dabino da itatuwa masu ganye, don yin bukkoki”, kamar yadda yake a rubuce.
and that they should publish and proclaim through all their cities, and at Jerusalem, saying, Go forth to the mount, and fetch olive-branches, and wild olive-branches, and myrtle-branches, and palm-branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.
16 Sai mutanen suka fita suka dawo da rassa suka kuma yi wa kansu bukkoki a bisa rufin ɗakunansu, a cikin filaye, a shirayin gidan Allah, da ciki dandalin da yake kusa da Ƙofar Ruwa, da kuma a dandalin da yake a Ƙofar Efraim.
And the people went forth and brought [them], and made themselves booths, everyone upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the open space of the water-gate, and in the open space of the gate of Ephraim.
17 Dukan jama’ar da suka komo daga zaman bauta suka yi bukkoki suka kuma zauna a cikinsu. Daga kwanakin Yoshuwa ɗan Nun har yă zuwa yau, Isra’ilawa ba su taɓa yin bikinsa haka ba. Mutane suka cika da farin ciki sosai.
And all the congregation of them that had come back from the captivity made booths, and dwelt in the booths. For since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun until that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.
18 Kowace rana, daga rana farko zuwa ƙarshe, Ezra ya karanta daga Littafin Dokar Allah. Suka yi bikin kwana bakwai, a rana ta takwas kuma suka yi muhimmin taro bisa ga ƙa’ida.
Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they observed the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the ordinance.
