1 sai dukan mutane suka taru kamar mutum guda a dandali a gaban Ƙofar Ruwa. Suka faɗa wa Ezra malamin Doka yă fitar da Littafin Dokar Musa, wanda Ubangiji ya umarta domin Isra’ila.
And the seventh month arrived, and the children of Israel [were settled] in their cities; and all the people were gathered as one man to the broad place before the water-gate, and they told Esdras the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the Lord 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.
So Esdras the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and every one who had understanding [was present] to listen, 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 from the time of sunrise to the middle of the day, before the men and the women; and they understood [it], 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 Esdras the scribe stood on a wooden stage, and there stood next to him Mattathias, and Samaeas, and Ananias, and Urias, and Chelcia, and Massia, on his right hand; and on his left Phadaeas, and Misael, and Melchias, and Asom, and Asabadma, and Zacharias, and Mesollam.
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 Esdras opened the book before all the people, for he was above the people; and it came to pass when he had opened it, [that] all the people stood.
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 Esdras blessed the Lord, the great God: and all the people answered, and said, Amen, lifting up their hands: and they bowed down and worshipped the Lord with their face 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 Jesus and Banaias and Sarabias instructed the people in 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 book of the law of God, and Esdras taught, and instructed them distinctly in the knowledge of the Lord, and the people understood [the law] in 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 Neemias, and Esdras the priest and scribe, and the Levites, and they that instructed the people, spoke and said to all the people, It is a holy day to the Lord our God; do not mourn, 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 [the governor] said to them, Go, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions to them that have nothing; for the day is holy to our Lord: and faint not, for the Lord is our 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 caused all the people to be silent, saying, Be silent, for [it is] a holy day, and despond not.
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.
So all the people departed to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, for they understood the words which he made known 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 the heads of families assembled with all the people, [also] the priests and Levites, to Esdras the scribe, to attend to all 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 the Lord commanded Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths, in the feast in 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 sound with trumpets in all their cities, and in Jerusalem. And Esdras said, Go forth to the mountain, and bring branches of olive, and branches of cypress trees, and branches of myrtle, and branches of palm trees, and branches of [every] thick tree, to make booths, according to that which was 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 booths for themselves, each one upon his roof, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the streets of the city, and as far as 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 who had returned from the captivity, made booths, and lived in booths: for the children of Israel [had] not done so from the days of Jesus the son of Naue until that day: and there was great joy.
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.
And [Esdras] read in the book of the law of God daily, from the first day even to the last day: and they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day a solemn assembly, according to the ordinance.
