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.
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 Un priesteris Ezra atnesa bauslību draudzes priekšā, vīriem un sievām un visiem, kas to varēja saprast, pirmā dienā septītā mēnesī.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Un tie lasīja no Dieva bauslības grāmatas tulkodami un izskaidrodami, ka lasot to varēja saprast.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Un tie leviti apklusināja visus ļaudis sacīdami: esiet klusu; jo šī diena ir svēta, tāpēc neesiet noskumuši.
So the Levites made the people be quiet, saying, “Hush! for this day is holy. Do not be 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.
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 Un otrā dienā visas tautas cilts virsnieki, priesteri un leviti sapulcējās pie rakstu mācītāja Ezras, klausīties bauslības vārdus.
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 Un tie atrada bauslībā, ka bija rakstīts, ko Tas Kungs caur Mozu bija pavēlējis, lai Israēla bērni lieveņos dzīvo pa tiem svētkiem septītā mēnesī.
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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.
