नहेम्याह 8
1 सारा जनता एउटै मानिसजस्तो गरी पानी ढोकाको सामुन्ने खुला क्षेत्रमा भेला भए । तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुले इस्राएललाई आज्ञा दिनुभएको मोशाको व्यवस्थाको पुस्तक ल्याउन भनी शास्त्री एज्रालाई भने ।
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 the LORD had commanded to Israel.
2 सातौँ महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा पुजारी एज्राले सुनेर बुझ्न सक्ने पुरुष र स्त्रीहरू दुवैको समुदायको सामु पुस्तक ल्याए ।
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 तिनी पानी ढोकाको सामुन्नेको खुला क्षेत्रमा फर्के, र तिनले पुरुष र स्त्रीहरूको सामु बिहान सबेरैदेखि मध्यदिनसम्म यसबाट पढे, अनि सारा मानिसले व्यवस्थाको पुस्तकलाई ध्यान दिएर सुने ।
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 तब शास्त्री एज्रा मानिसहरूले त्यस्तै कामको लागि बनाएका काठको उच्च मञ्चमा खडा भए । तिनको दाहिनेपट्टि छेउमा मत्तित्याह, शेमा, अनायाह, उरियाह, हिल्कियाह र मासेयाह उभिएका थिए अनि तिनको देब्रेपट्टि पदायाह, मीशाएल, मल्कियाह, हाशूम, हशबदाना, जकरिया र मशुल्लाम उभिएका थिए ।
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 एज्रा सारा मानिसभन्दा माथि उभिएकाले तिनले सबैले देख्ने गरी पुस्तक खोले, र तिनले पुस्तक खोल्दा सारा मानिस खडा भए ।
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 एज्राले महान् परमेश्वर परमप्रभुलाई धन्यावाद दिए, अनि सारा मानिसले आ-आफ्ना हात उठाएर “आमेन! आमेन!” भने । तब तिनीहरूले आ-आफ्ना शिर झुकाए, र भुइँसम्मै निहुरेर परमप्रभुको आराधना गरे ।
Then Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. All the people answered, “Amen, Amen,” with the lifting up of their hands. They bowed their heads, and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground.
7 लेवीहरू येशूअ, बानी, शरेबियाह, यामीन, अक्कूब, सब्बतै, होदियाह, मासेयाह, कलीता, अजर्याह, योजाबाद, हानान, पलयाहले मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूकै ठाउँमा व्यवस्था बुझ्नलाई मदत गरे ।
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 तिनीहरूले त्यो पुस्तक अर्थात् परमेश्वरको व्यवस्था पढे र मानिसहरूले बुझ्न सक्ने गरी अर्थ खोलिदिए ।
They read in the book, in the law of God, distinctly; and they gave the sense, so that they understood the reading.
9 राज्यपाल नहेम्याह, पुजारीसाथै शास्त्री एज्रा र मानिसहरूलाई अर्थ खोलिदिने लेवीहरूले सारा मानिसलाई भने, “यो दिन परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्वरका लागि पवित्र दिन हो । शोक नगर र नरोओ ।” किनकि तिनीहरूले व्यवस्थाका वचन सुन्दा सारा मानिस रोएका थिए ।
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 the LORD your God. Do not mourn, nor weep.” For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law.
10 तब नहेम्याहले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “आ-आफ्नो बाटो लाग, पुस्टाइएको पशु मारेर खाओ, मिठो पेय पदार्थ पिओ अनि आफ्ना निम्ति तयार पार्न नसक्नेहरूका निम्ति पनि थोरै भाग पठाइदेओ किनकि परमप्रभुको आनन्द नै तिमीहरूको शक्ति हो ।”
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. Do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
11 त्यसैले लेवीहरूले यसो भन्दै मानिसहरूलाई शान्त गराए, “चुप लाग, किनकि यो दिन पवित्र छ । शोक नगर ।”
So the Levites calmed all the people, saying, “Hold your peace, for the day is holy. Do not be grieved.”
12 तब सारा मानिस खानपान गर्न, पिउन, भोजन बाँडचुँड गर्न र बडो आनन्दसाथ उत्सव मनाउन आ-आफ्नो बाटो लागे किनकि तिनीहरूलाई बताइएका वचनहरू तिनीहरूले बुझेका थिए ।
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 दोस्रो दिनमा सारा मानिसका परिवार-परिवारका मुख्य-मुख्य मानिसहरू, पुजारीहरूसाथै लेवीहरू व्यवस्थाका वचनहरूबाट अन्तर्ज्ञान प्राप्त गर्न शास्त्री एज्राकहाँ आए ।
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 सातौँ महिनाको चाडमा इस्राएलीहरू छाप्रोमा बस्नपर्छ भनी परमप्रभुले मोशाद्वारा आज्ञा गर्नुभएको वचन तिनीहरूले व्यवस्थामा लेखिएको भेट्टाए ।
They found written in the law how the LORD had commanded by Moses that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month;
15 तिनीहरूले तिनीहरूका सबै सहर र यरूशलेममा यसो भन्दै घोषणा गर्नुपर्छ, “लेखिएअनुसार छाप्रा बनाउनलाई पहाडी देशमा गएर जैतून, जङ्गली जैतून, मेहदी, खजूरका हाँगाहरूसाथै अन्य पातहरू भएका हाँगाहरू लिएर आओ ।”
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 तब मानिसहरू बाहिर गए, र हाँगाहरू ल्याए अनि हरेकले आ-आफ्नो निम्ति घरको छाना र चोकमा, परमेश्वरका भवनका चोकहरूमा, पानी ढोकाको सामुन्नेको चोकमा र एफ्राएमका ढोकाको चोकमा छाप्राहरू बनाए ।
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 निर्वासनबाट फर्केकाहरू सबै समुदायले छाप्राहरू बनाई तिनमा बसे । किनकि नूनका छोरा यहोशूको समयदेखि त्यस दिनसम्म इस्राएलीहरूले यो चाड मनाएका थिएनन् । त्यसैले तिनीहरू बडो आनन्दित भए ।
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 यसबाहेक, पहिलो दिनदेखि पछिल्लो दिनसम्म दिनप्रतिदिन एज्राले परमेश्वरको व्यवस्थाको पुस्तकबाट पढ्ने गर्थै । तिनीहरूले सात दिनसम्म चाड मनाए, र आज्ञाअनुसार आठौँ दिनमा पवित्र सभा थियो ।
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.
