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 ।
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 सातौँ महिनाको पहिलो दिनमा पुजारी एज्राले सुनेर बुझ्न सक्ने पुरुष र स्त्रीहरू दुवैको समुदायको सामु पुस्तक ल्याए ।
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 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 ।
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 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 ।
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 एज्रा सारा मानिसभन्दा माथि उभिएकाले तिनले सबैले देख्ने गरी पुस्तक खोले, र तिनले पुस्तक खोल्दा सारा मानिस खडा भए ।
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 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 ।
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 लेवीहरू येशूअ, बानी, शरेबियाह, यामीन, अक्कूब, सब्बतै, होदियाह, मासेयाह, कलीता, अजर्याह, योजाबाद, हानान, पलयाहले मानिसहरूलाई तिनीहरूकै ठाउँमा व्यवस्था बुझ्नलाई मदत गरे ।
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 तिनीहरूले त्यो पुस्तक अर्थात् परमेश्वरको व्यवस्था पढे र मानिसहरूले बुझ्न सक्ने गरी अर्थ खोलिदिए ।
So they read in the book of the law of God, distinctly, —and, giving the sense, caused them to understand 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 ।
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 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 ।”
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 त्यसैले लेवीहरूले यसो भन्दै मानिसहरूलाई शान्त गराए, “चुप लाग, किनकि यो दिन पवित्र छ । शोक नगर ।”
And, the Levites, were quieting all the people, saying—Hush! for, the day, is holy, —and be not 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 ।
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 दोस्रो दिनमा सारा मानिसका परिवार-परिवारका मुख्य-मुख्य मानिसहरू, पुजारीहरूसाथै लेवीहरू व्यवस्थाका वचनहरूबाट अन्तर्ज्ञान प्राप्त गर्न शास्त्री एज्राकहाँ आए ।
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 सातौँ महिनाको चाडमा इस्राएलीहरू छाप्रोमा बस्नपर्छ भनी परमप्रभुले मोशाद्वारा आज्ञा गर्नुभएको वचन तिनीहरूले व्यवस्थामा लेखिएको भेट्टाए ।
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 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 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 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 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 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 ।
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 यसबाहेक, पहिलो दिनदेखि पछिल्लो दिनसम्म दिनप्रतिदिन एज्राले परमेश्वरको व्यवस्थाको पुस्तकबाट पढ्ने गर्थै । तिनीहरूले सात दिनसम्म चाड मनाए, र आज्ञाअनुसार आठौँ दिनमा पवित्र सभा थियो ।
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.
