Nehemia 8
1 Hene nifanontoñe hoe ondaty raik’ an-tameañe aolo’ i lalam-bein-dranoy ondatio; le nisaontsy amy Ezra mpanokitse ty handesa’e i boke Hà’ i Mosè linili’ Iehovà Israeley.
And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spoke unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel.
2 Aa le nendese’ i Ezra mpisoroñe añatrefa’ i fivoriy t’i Hake, amo lahilahio naho rakembao vaho amy ze hene nahajanjiñe am-paharendrehañe, amy androm-baloha’ i volam-pahafitoiy.
And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month.
3 Le namaky amy bokey re, aolo’ i kiririsan-dalambein-dranoy, nifototse maraindray ampara’ te tsipinde-mena, añatrefa’ o lahilahio naho o rakembao naho ze naharendreke; vaho nitsatsike i boke Hàkey o ravembia’ ondaty iabio.
And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law.
4 Nijohañe am-panongan-katae eo t’i Ezra, mpanokitse, amy rinanjiñe ho amy raha zaiy, le nijohañe añ’ila’e eo t’i Matitià naho i Semà naho i Oriià naho i Kilkià vaho i Maaseià am-pità’e havana le am-pità’e havia eo t’i Pedaià naho i Misaele naho i Malkià naho i Kasome naho i Kasbadanà, i Zekarià vaho i Mesolame.
And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam.
5 Le sinoka’ i Ezra ampahaoniña’ ondaty iabio i boke—amy t’ie ambone’ ondatio—aa ie nanokak’ aze, songa niongake ondatio;
And 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 naho nañandriañe Iehovà, i Andrianañahare jabahinakey t’i Ezra; vaho sindre nanoiñe ty hoe ondatio: Amene, Ie Izay! am-pañonjonam-pitàñe; ie nibaboke. laharañe mb’an-tane, te nitalaho añatrefa’ Iehovà;
And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground.
7 le nampibejañe i Hake am’ondatio t’Iesòa naho i Baný naho i Serebià, Iamine, i Akobe, i Sabetay, i Hodià, i Maaseià, i Kelità, i Azarià, Iozabade, i Kanàne, i Pelaià; songa nte-Levy vaho nitobok’ an-toe’ iareo eo ondatio.
Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place.
8 Aa le vinaki’ iareo i boke Hàn’ Añaharey an-dam-bolañe vaho natoro’ iereo ty heve’e, hahaoniña’ ondatio i nivakieñey.
So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
9 Le nanao ty hoe am’ ondatio t’i Nekemià, Tirsatà naho i Ezra, mpirosoñe naho mpanokitse, ie nañoke ondatio o nte-Levio: Miavake am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo ty andro toy, ko mirovetse, ko mangololoike. Amy te nangoihoy ty tañy ondaty iabio ami’ty fijanjiñañe ty tsara’ i Hake.
And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.
10 Le nanoa’e ty hoe, Akia, mikamà ty mafiry, minoma ty mamy, le andivao amo tsy nañalankañeo amy te miavake amy Talèntikañey ty andro toy vaho ko miharovetse; fa haozara’ areo te mirebek’ am’ Iehovà.
Then 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 this day is holy unto our LORD: neither be all of you sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.
11 Aa le nampianjiñe’ o nte-Levio ondaty iabio, ami’ty hoe: Mianjiña, fa miavake ty androany; le ko manahelo.
So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be all of you grieved.
12 Aa le nifampiriaria mb’eo ondatio nikama naho ninoñe naho nandiva vaho nirebeke, amy te niazo’ iareo i tsara nitaroñeñe am’ iereoy.
And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great delight, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.
13 Nifanontoñe amy Ezra, mpanokitse, amy andro faha-roey o mpiaolon’ anjomban-droae’eo, o mpisoroñeo vaho o nte-Levio, hininike ty tsara’ i Hàke.
And on the second day were gathered together the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law.
14 Tendrek’ am’ iereo te sinokitse amy Hake ao i nandilia’ Iehovà añamy Mosèy te hitobok’ an-tsokemitraha ao o ana’ Israeleo amy sabadidam-bolam-paha-fitoy;
And they found written in the law which the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month:
15 le naboele iereo naho nikoiheñe amo rova’ iareo iabio naho e Ierosalaime ao ty hoe: Mañitrifa mb’am-bohitse mb’eo le mangalà sampan-olive naho sampan-karadranto añ’ala ao naho sampa mañidè naho tsampan-tsatrañe naho bodan-katae handranjiañe sokemitraha ty amy pinatetsey.
And that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.
16 Aa le nitoha añe ondatio, ninday vaho namboatse sokemitraha, songa an-tafon’ anjomba’e eo naho ankiririsa’e ey naho an-kiririsan’ anjomban’ Añahare eo naho an-tameañe an-dalambein-drano ey vaho an-toen-dalambei-Efraime mielatse ey.
So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the water gate, and in the street of the gate of Ephraim.
17 Namboatse naho nitobok’ amo sokemitraha’eo i valobohòke iaby niavy boak’ am-pandrohizañey; fa sikal’ añ’andro Iehosoa ana’ i None, ampara’ i andro zay tsy nanoe’ o ana’ Israeleo zay; vaho nionjoñe ty firebehañe.
And all the congregation of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.
18 Le nivakie’e boak’ andro boak’ andro, mifototse amy andro valoha’ey i boke Hàn’ Añaharey; nitana’ iareo fito andro i sabadidakey; vaho nanoeñe fivory miavake i andro fahavaloy, ty amy fepètsey.
Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto the manner.
