All the people gathered themselves together as one man into the wide place that was in front of the water gate; and they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which Yahweh had commanded to 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.
Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly, both men and women, and all who 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.
He read from it before the wide place that was in front of the water gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women, and of those who could understand. 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.
Ezra the scribe stood on a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and 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.
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.
Then Ezra blessed Yahweh, the great God. All the people answered, “Amen, Amen,” with the lifting up of their hands. They bowed their heads, and worshiped Yahweh 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.
Also Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law; and the people stayed 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.
They read in the book, in the law of God, distinctly; and they gave the sense, so that they understood 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.
Nehemiah, who was the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, “Today is holy to Yahweh your God. Don’t 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.”
Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared, for today is holy to our Lord. Don’t be grieved, for the joy of Yahweh is your strength.”
11 Lawiyawa suka rarrashi mutane duka suna cewa, “Ku natsu, gama wannan rana ce mai tsarki. Kada ku yi baƙin ciki.”
So the Levites calmed all the people, saying, “Hold your peace, for the day is holy. Don’t 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.
All the people went their way to eat, to drink, to send portions, and to celebrate, because 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.
On the second day, the heads of fathers’ households of all the people, the priests, and the Levites were gathered together to Ezra the scribe, to study 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
They found written in the law how Yahweh had commanded by 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 in all their cities and in Jerusalem, saying, “Go out to the mountain, and get olive branches, branches of wild olive, myrtle branches, palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make temporary shelters, 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.
So the people went out and brought them, and made themselves temporary shelters, everyone on the roof of his house, in their courts, in the courts of God’s house, in the wide place of the water gate, and in the wide place of Ephraim’s gate.
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.
All the assembly of those who had come back out of the captivity made temporary shelters and lived in the temporary shelters, for since the days of Joshua the son of Nun to that day the children of Israel had not done so. 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. They kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the ordinance.
