Nehemaia 8
1 Hanki Tima Afi Kafanema nehaza kafamofo avugama me'nea kankamumpi ana maka Israeli vahe'mo'za eri mago zamavugosa hu'za eme atru hu'naze. Anama hute'za avoma kre eri'zama e'neria ne' Ezrana asami'za, Ra Anumzamo'ma Israeli vahe'ma zamasamio huno, Mosesema huntegeno krente'nea avontafera erinka eno hu'za hu'naze.
All the people gathered as one man in the open area in front of the Water Gate. They asked Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Law of Moses, which Yahweh had commanded Israel.
2 Anage hazageno 7ni ikamofo ese knazupa, pristi ne' Ezra'a ana kasege avontafera erino, venenene a'nene kema antahini'ma huga mofavreramima mani'naza zamavuga e'ne.
On the first day of the seventh month, Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly, both men and women, and all who could hear and understand.
3 Anante Ezra'a ana avontafera erino nanterampi tima nefiza kafamofo avugama me'nea kumapi, ana maka Israeli vahe zamavuga oti'neno, ana kasege avontafepinti nehamparige'za vene'nene a'nanene, kema antahi ani'ma huga mofavreramimo'za nentahizage'za, ana maka vahe'mo'zanena zamagesa ante so'e hu'neza nentahizageno vuno feruse'ne.
He faced the open area in front of the Water Gate, and he read from it from early morning until midday, before men and women, and any who could understand, and all the people listened attentively to the book of the law.
4 Hanki Ezra'a manisga hu'neno keagama hu tra'ma tro hunte'naza trate mani'nege'za azantmaga kaziga, Matitia'ma, Sema'ma, Anaia'ma, Uria'ma, Hilkia'ene Ma'aseiaki hu'za oti'naze. Ana hazageno hoga kaziga'a Pedaia'ma Misaeli'ma Malkija'ma Hasumi'ma Hasbadana'ma Zekaraia'ene Mesulamuki hu'za oti'naze.
Then Ezra the scribe stood on a high wooden platform which the people had made for the purpose. Standing beside him were Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right side; and Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam were standing on his left side.
5 Hagi anante Ezra'a kasegema hamprinaku manisga hu trate mani'nege'za ana maka vahe'mo'za negageno, ana avontafe'ma erivakama rege'za, ana maka vahe'mo'za oti vagare'naze.
Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was standing above the people, and when he opened it all the people stood up.
6 Ana hazageno Ezra'a Ra Anumzana tusi'a Anumzamofona agi'a ahentesga hu'ne. Ana hige'za ve'a kevumo'za zamazana erisga huvagare'za, Tamage, Tamage nehu'za, zamarena re'za mopafi zamavugosaregati kepri hu'za Ra Anumzamofona monora hunte'naze.
Ezra gave thanks to Yahweh, the great God, and all the people lifted up their hands and answered, “Amen! Amen!” Then they bowed their heads and worshiped Yahweh with their faces to the ground.
7 Anante anama hutazage'za, Livae nagara Jesua'ma Bani'ma Serebia'ma Jamini'ma Akubu'ma Sabetaia'ma Hodia'ma Ma'aseia'ma Kelita'ma Azaria'ma Josabati'ma Hanani'ene Pelaia'ma hu'za, oti'naza vahera kasegea eriama hu'za zamasami'naze.
Also Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah—the Levites—helped the people understand the law, while the people remained in their place.
8 Zamagra Anumzamofo kasege avontafepinti hamparite'za, agu'gesa'a eriama hu'za vahe'mo'zama antahi ani'ma hu'are zamasamizage'za antahi ama' hu'naze.
They read in the book, The Law of God, making it clear with interpretation and giving the meaning so the people understood the reading.
9 Hagi anante Juda mopare gavana ne' Nehemaiaki, Pristi eri'zama enerino avontafe'ma negrea ne' Ezra'ene Livae naga'ma vahe'ma rempima hunezamiza naga'mo'zanena amanage hu'za maka vahera zamasami'naze, Menina amagnamo'a tamagri Anumzamofo avurera ruotge hu'neanki tamasunkura huge, zavirategera osiho. Na'ankure zamagrama ana kasegema nentahi'za maka vahe'mo'za zavi krafage nehazage'za anankea hu'naze.
Nehemiah the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who were interpreting to the people said to all the people, “This day is holy to Yahweh your God. Do not mourn or weep.” For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law.
10 Anante Nehemaia'a anage huno zamasami'ne, Vutma knare'nare ne'zane haganentake tinena ome neneta, musenkase nehuta ne'zama trotra'ma huonte'nesaza vahera mago'a zamigahaze. Amagnamo'a tagri Ra Anumzamofo avurera ruotage hu'neanki, tamasunkura osutma muse hiho. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'ma neramia musezamo'a tamagri hankave me'ne.
Then Nehemiah said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat and have something sweet to drink, and send some of it to one who has nothing prepared, for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not be grieved, for the joy of Yahweh is your strength.”
11 Hanki Livae naga'mo'za vahe'ma zamazeri fru hu kea amanage hu'naze, Akoheta maniho, na'ankure amagnamo'a ruotge hu'nea kna me'ne. E'ina hu'negu tamasunkura osiho.
So the Levites made the people be quiet, saying, “Hush! for this day is holy. Do not be grieved.”
12 Hanki maka veamo'za no zamirega vu'za e'za hu'za, ne'zane tinena ome nene'za, ne'zankuma atupa'ma hu'naza vahera ne'zana nezami'za tusi musenkase hu'naze. Na'ankure kasegema hampari zamiza kemofo agafa'a antahi ama hu'nazagu anara hu'naze.
Then all the people went their way to eat and to drink and to share food and to celebrate with great joy because they had understood the words that were made known to them.
13 Hanki 7ni ikamofona nampa2 knazupa, ana maka naga nofite'ma ugagotama huterema hu'naza vahe'ene pristi vahe'mo'zane Livae naga'moza, kasegefima me'nea naneke rempi huzami'niegu avontafe'ma negrea ne' Ezrante e'za emeritru hu'naze.
On the second day the leaders of the ancestors' families from all the people, the priests and the Levites, came together to Ezra the scribe to gain insight from the words of the law.
14 Ana hute'za Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosesema ami'nea Kasege avontafepina amanahu ke me'nege'za ke'za erifore hu'naze. Israeli vahe'mota 7ni ikampima musenkasema hu knarera fugagi nompi mani'neta ne'zana kreta neneta musena hugahaze huno hu'nea naneke me'nege'za ke'naze.
They found written in the law how Yahweh had commanded through Moses that the people of Israel should live in shelters during the festival of the seventh month.
15 Ana hu'negu ne'onse kumatmimpine Jerusalemi kumapinema mani'naza vahetega amanage huta kea atre zamanteho, avontafepina amanage huno krente'ne, agonarega zafa tanopafi mareritma ani'namoke'ma hu'nenia olivi azankuna'ene, afi olivi zafa azankuna'ene tofe ani'nane Maitilesi zafa (myrtle) azankuna'ene mago'a ani'nage'ma hu'nea zafa azankuna'enena erita eta fugagi nona eme kineta kasegemo'ma hu'nea kante anteta ne'zana kreta neneta, musena hugahaze huno krentene.
They should make a proclamation in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, “Go out into the hill country, and bring back branches from olive and wild olive trees, and from myrtle, palms and shade trees, to make shelters, as it is written.”
16 Ana hu'negu veamo'za vu'za zafa azankuna'a ome eri'za e'za nozamimofo agofetu'ene kumapinena fugagi nona eme negi'za, Anumzamofo mono no kumapine, Tima afi Kafanema nehaza kafamofo avugane, Efraemi kafanema nehaza kafamofo avuga fugagi nontamina ki'naze.
So the people went out and brought the branches back and made themselves shelters, each on their own roofs, in their courtyards, in the courts of the house of God, in the open area in front of the Water Gate, and in the square at the Gate of Ephraim.
17 Hanki ana maka vahe'ma Babiloni kinafinti'ma atre'za e'naza fugagi no ki'za mani'naze. Hagi Nuni nemofo Josua knareti'ma eno ana knare'ma ege'za, e'inahu zana hu'za musenkasea osu'nazanki'za, tusi musenkase hu'naze.
All the assembly of those who had returned from captivity made shelters and lived in them. For since the days of Joshua son of Nun to that day, the people of Israel had not celebrated this festival, and so their joy was very great.
18 Ana nehu'za mago mago zupa Anumzamofo nanekea mago'ane Ezra'a hamprige'za antahi'naze. Nentahi'za seveni zagekna zupa mani'ne'za muse hu'naze. Hagi ana'ma hute'za Anumzamo'ma kema hu'nea za hu'za eme atru huvagarete'za vu'za e'za hu'naze.
Also day by day, from the first day to the last, Ezra read from the book of the law of God. They kept the festival for seven days and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, in obedience to the decree.
