< Nechemijas 8 >
1 Kad nu septītais mēnesis atnāca, un Israēla bērni bija savās pilsētās, tad visi ļaudis sapulcinājās kā viens vienīgs vīrs laukā priekš Ūdens vārtiem un sacīja uz Ezru, to rakstu mācītāju, lai tas atnes Mozus bauslības grāmatu, ko Tas Kungs Israēlim bija pavēlējis.
Then all the people gathered themselves together as one man, into the broad way that was before the water-gate, —and they spake unto Ezra the scribe, to bring the book of the law of Moses, which Yahweh had commanded Israel.
2 Un priesteris Ezra atnesa bauslību draudzes priekšā, vīriem un sievām un visiem, kas to varēja saprast, pirmā dienā septītā mēnesī.
So then Ezra the priest brought the law, before the convocation of both men and women, and all that had understanding to hearken, —on the first day of the seventh month;
3 Un lasīja no tās uz lauka Ūdens vārtu priekšā no pašas gaismas līdz pusdienai vīru un sievu priekšā, kas tik saprata, un visu ļaužu ausis (griezās) uz bauslības grāmatu.
and read therein, before the broad place which was before the water-gate, from the time it was light, until the noon of the day, in presence of the men and the women, and such as had understanding, —and, the ears of all the people, were unto the book of the law.
4 Un Ezra, tas rakstu mācītājs, stāvēja uz augsta koka krēsla, ko tie priekš tam bija uztaisījuši, un viņam sānis stāvēja Matatija un Šemus un Anaja un Ūrija un Hilķija un Maāseja viņam pa labo roku, un viņam pa kreiso roku Pedaja un Mišaēls un Malhija un Hašums un Hašbadanus, Zaharija, Mešulams.
And Ezra the scribe stood upon a lofty platform of wood, which they had made for the purpose, and there stood, beside him, Mattithiah and Shema and Anaiah and Uriah and Hilkiah and Maaseiah, on his right hand, —and, on his left, Pedaiah and Mishael and Malchijah and Hashum and Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, Meshullam.
5 Un Ezra atdarīja to grāmatu priekš visu ļaužu acīm, jo viņš stāvēja augstāki nekā visi ļaudis, un kad viņš to atdarīja, tad visi ļaudis uzcēlās.
And Ezra the scribe opened the book before the eyes of all the people, for, above all the people, was he, —and, when he opened it, all the people, stood up.
6 Un Ezra teica To Kungu, to lielo Dievu, un visi ļaudis atbildēja: Āmen, Āmen! Savas rokas paceldami, un locījās un metās uz savu vaigu zemē priekš Tā Kunga.
And Ezra blessed Yahweh the great God, —and all the people responded, Amen! Amen! with the lifting up of their hands, —and they bent their heads and bowed themselves down unto Yahweh, with their faces to the ground.
7 Un Ješuūs un Banus un Šerebija, Jamins, Akubs, Šabetajus, Hodija, Maāseja, Kelitus, Azarija, Jozabads, Hanans, Pelaja un tie leviti izskaidroja tiem ļaudīm bauslību, un tie ļaudis stāvēja savā vietā.
And, Jeshua and Bani and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, did cause the people to understand the law, the people, remaining in their places.
8 Un tie lasīja no Dieva bauslības grāmatas tulkodami un izskaidrodami, ka lasot to varēja saprast.
So they read in the book of the law of God, distinctly, —and, giving the sense, caused them to understand the reading.
9 Tad Nehemija, tas ir tas zemes soģis, un priesteris Ezra, tas rakstu mācītājs, un tie leviti, kas tos ļaudis mācīja, sacīja uz visiem tiem ļaudīm: šī diena Tam Kungam, jūsu Dievam, ir svēta, neesiet noskumuši un neraudat. Jo visi ļaudis raudāja, kad tie dzirdēja bauslības vārdus.
Then Nehemiah—he, was the governor—and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites who were causing the people to understand, said unto all the people, To-day, is, holy, unto Yahweh your God, do not mourn, nor weep, —for, weeping, were all the people, when they heard the words of the law.
10 Tad viņš uz tiem sacīja: Ejat, ēdiet treknu un dzeriet saldu, un sūtiet daļas tam, kam nekā nav sataisīts. Jo šī diena mūsu Kungam ir svēta. Tad nu neesiet noskumuši, jo prieks pie Tā Kunga ir jūsu stiprums.
So he said unto them—Go your way, eat the fat and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared, for holy is the day, unto our Lord, —and be not grieved, for, the joy of Yahweh, is your strength.
11 Un tie leviti apklusināja visus ļaudis sacīdami: esiet klusu; jo šī diena ir svēta, tāpēc neesiet noskumuši.
And, the Levites, were quieting all the people, saying—Hush! for, the day, is holy, —and be not grieved.
12 Tad visi ļaudis gāja ēst un dzert un daļas sūtīt un lielu prieku darīt; jo tie tos vārdus bija sapratuši, kas tiem bija sacīti.
And all the people went their way, to eat and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great rejoicing, —because they had understood the words which were made known unto them.
13 Un otrā dienā visas tautas cilts virsnieki, priesteri un leviti sapulcējās pie rakstu mācītāja Ezras, klausīties bauslības vārdus.
And, on the second day, were gathered together—the ancestral heads of all the people, the priests and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, —even to give attention unto the words of the law.
14 Un tie atrada bauslībā, ka bija rakstīts, ko Tas Kungs caur Mozu bija pavēlējis, lai Israēla bērni lieveņos dzīvo pa tiem svētkiem septītā mēnesī.
And they found written in the law, —that Yahweh gave command through Moses, that the sons of Israel should dwell in booths, during the festival of the seventh month;
15 Un lai tie to izsludina un izsauc pa visām pilsētām un Jeruzālemē sacīdami: ejat ārā kalnos un atnesiet zarus no eļļas kokiem un zarus no meža eļļas kokiem un zarus no mirtu kokiem un zarus no palma kokiem un zarus no (citiem) kupliem kokiem, un taisāt lieveņus, tā kā ir rakstīts.
and that they should publish and send along a proclamation throughout all their cities and throughout Jerusalem, saying, Forth to the mountain, and bring in branches of olive, and branches of oleaster, and branches of myrtle, and branches of palms, and branches of thick trees, —to make booths, as it is written.
16 Tā tie ļaudis izgāja ārā un atnesa un taisīja sev lieveņus, ikkatrs uz sava jumta un savos pagalmos un Dieva nama pagalmos un uz Ūdens vārtu lauka un uz Efraīma vārtu lauka.
So the people went forth, and brought in, and made themselves booths, every one upon 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.
17 Un visa draudze, tie, kas no cietuma bija pārnākuši, taisīja lieveņus un dzīvoja lieveņos. Jo Israēla bērni nebija tā darījuši no Jozuas, Nuna dēla, laika līdz šai dienai, un tur bija varen liela līksmība.
And all the convocation of them who had returned out of the captivity made booths, and dwelt in booths, for, since the days of Jeshua son of Nun, had not the sons of Israel done so, unto that day, —and there was very great rejoicing.
18 Un Dieva bauslības grāmata tapa ikdienas lasīta, no pirmās dienas līdz beidzamai dienai, un tie turēja svētkus septiņas dienas un astotā dienā to atsvēti, tā kā bija nolikts.
So he read in the book of the law of God, day by day, from the first day unto the last day, and they kept the festival seven days, and, on the eighth day, a closing feast, according to the regulation.
