Nahimiyaa 8
1 Yeroo jiʼi torbaffaan gaʼee Israaʼeloonni magaalaawwan ofii isaanii keessa qubatanitti, uummanni hundinuu akkuma nama tokkootti oobdii Karra Bishaanii duratti walitti qabame. Isaanis akka inni Kitaaba Seera Musee kan Waaqayyo Israaʼeliif ajaje sana fiduuf Izraa barsiisaa seeraa sanatti himan.
And the seventh month came: and the children of Israel were in their cities. And all the people were gathered together as one mall to the street which is before the water gate, and they spoke to Esdras the scribe, to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded to Israel.
2 Kanaafuu Izraan lubichi guyyaa jalqaba jiʼa torbaffaatti fuula waldaa dhiiraa fi dubartii warra waa hubachuu dandaʼan hundaa duratti Seera sana fide.
Then Esdras the priest brought the law before the multitude of men and women, and all those that could understand, in the first day of the seventh month.
3 Innis barii ganamaa jalqabee hamma saafaatti gara oobdii Karra Bishaaniin duratti garagalee fuula dhiirotaa, dubartootaa fi namoota waa hubachuu dandaʼan kaanii duratti sagalee isaa ol fudhatee seera sana dubbise. Uummanni hundis kitaaba Seeraa sana qalbeeffatee dhaggeeffate.
And he read it plainly in the street that was before the water gate, from the morning until midday, before the men, and the women, and all those that could understand: and the ears of all the people were attentive to the book.
4 Izraan barsiisaan seeraa sun waltajjii mukaa kan kaayyoo kanaaf hojjetame irra dhaabate. Isa biras karaa mirga isaa Matiitiyaa, Shemaa, Anaayaa, Uuriyaa, Hilqiyaa fi Maʼaseyaatu dhaabate; karaa bitaa isaa immoo Phedaayaa, Miishaaʼeel, Malkiyaa, Haashum, Hashbadaanaa, Zakkaariyaasii fi Meshulaamitu dhaabatee ture.
And Esdras the scribe stood upon a step of wood, which he had made to speak upon, and there stood by him Mathathias, and Semeia, and Ania, and Uria, and Helcia, and Maasia, on his right hand: and on the left, Phadaia, Misael, and Melchia, and Hasum, and Hasbadana, Zacharia and Mosollam.
5 Izraan Kitaabicha bane. Sababii inni isaanii ol dhaabachaa tureef namoonni hundi isa arguu dandaʼan; akkuma inni kitaabicha baneenis sabni hundi kaʼee dhaabate.
And Esdras opened the book before all the people: for he was above all the people: and when he had opened it, all the people stood.
6 Izraanis Waaqayyo Waaqa guddicha galateeffate; namoonni hundinuus harka ol qabatanii, “Ameen! Ameen!” jedhanii jalaa qaban. Ergasiis gad jedhanii addaan lafatti gombifamanii Waaqayyoof sagadan.
And Esdras blessed the Lord the great God: and all the people answered, Amen, amen: lifting up their hands: and they bowed down, and adored God with their faces to the ground.
7 Lewwonni jechuunis Yeeshuuʼaan, Baaniin, Sheereebiyaan, Yaamiin, Aquub, Shaabetaayi, Hoodiyaa, Maʼaseyaan, Qeliixaa, Azaariyaa, Yoozaabaad, Haanaanii fi Phelaayaan utuma waldaan achi dhaabatee jiruu seera sana ibsaniif.
Now Josue, and Bani, and Serebia, Jamin, Accub, Sephtai, Odia, Maasia, Celtia, Azarias, Jozabed, Hanan, Phalaia, the Levites, made silence among the people to hear the law: and the people stood in their place.
8 Isaanis akka sabni waan dubbifame sana hubatuuf Kitaaba Seera Waaqaa keessaa dubbisanii ibsuudhaan hiikkaa isaa kennaa turan.
And they read in the book of the law of God distinctly and plainly to be understood: and they understood when it was read.
9 Achii immoo Nahimiyaan bulchaan biyyaa, Izraan lubichi barsiisaan seeraa sunii fi Lewwonni uummataaf ibsa kennaa turan sun hunda isaaniitiin, “Guyyaan kun guyyaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniif qulqulleeffamee dha. Hin gaddinaa yookaan hin booʼinaa” jedhan. Sabni hundi yeroo dubbii seera sanaa dhagaʼetti booʼaa tureetii.
And Nehemias (he is Athersatha) and Esdras the priest and scribe, and the Levites who interpreted to all the people, said: This is a holy day to the Lord our God: do not mourn, nor weep: for all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.
10 Kana irratti Nahimiyaan akkana jedhe; “Dhaqaatii nyaata filatamaa nyaadhaa; dhugaatii miʼaawaas dhugaa; warra waan qophaaʼe tokko illee hin qabneefis waa ergaa. Guyyaan kun guyyaa Gooftaa keenyaaf qulqulleeffamee dha. Sababii gammachuun Waaqayyoo jabina keessan taʼeef hin gaddinaa.”
And he said to them: Go, eat fat meats, and drink sweet wine, and send portions to them that have not prepared for themselves: because it is the holy day of the Lord, and be not sad: for the joy of the Lord is our strength.
11 Lewwonnis, “Calʼisaa; guyyaan kun guyyaa qulqulluudhaatii hin gaddinaa” jedhanii uummata hunda ni tasgabbeessan.
And the Levites stilled all the people, saying: Hold your peace, for the day is holy, and be not sorrowful.
12 Ergasiis sabni hundi sababii dubbii itti himame sana hubateef nyaatee dhuguuf, nyaata isaa irraa qoodee warra kaaniif illee erguu fi gammachuu guddaan ayyaaneffachuudhaaf kaʼee deeme.
So all the people went to eat and drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth: because they understood the words that he had taught them.
13 Bultii lammaffaa jiʼa sanaatti abbootiin maatiiwwanii hundinuu dubbii Seera sanaa qalbeeffachuuf lubootaa fi Lewwota wajjin Izraa barsiisaa sana biratti walitti qabaman.
And on the second day the chiefs of the families of all the people, the priests, and the Levites were gathered together to Esdras the scribe, that he should interpret to them the words of the law.
14 Isaanis akka ajajni Waaqayyo karaa Museen kenne kan, Israaʼeloonni yeroo ayyaana jiʼa torbaffaatti daasii keessa turuu qabu jedhu sun seera keessatti barreeffamee jiru argatan;
And they found written in the law, that the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in tabernacles, on the feast, in the seventh month:
15 akkasumas akka isaan akkuma barreeffamee jirutti, “Daasii ijaaruudhaaf biyya gaaraatti ol baʼaatii damee ejersaa fi damee ejersa bosonaa, damee kusaayee, damee meexxii fi damee mukkeen baala qabanii fidaa” jedhanii magaalaawwan isaanii fi Yerusaalem keessatti labsuu qaban ni argatan.
And that they should proclaim and publish the word in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying: Go forth to the mount, and fetch branches of olive, and branches of beautiful wood, branches of myrtle, and branches of palm, and branches of thick trees, to make tabernacles, as it is written.
16 Kanaafuu uummanni sun gad baʼee dameelee fidee tokkoon tokkoon isaanii bantii mana ofii isaanii irratti, oobdii ofii isaanii irratti, oobdii mana Waaqaa irratti, oobdii Karra Bishaanii fi oobdii Karra Efreem bira jiru irratti daasii ijaarratan.
And the people went forth, and brought. And they made themselves tabernacles every man on the top 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 Waldaan boojuudhaa deebiʼe hundi daasii ijaarratee keessa jiraate. Bara Iyyaasuu ilma Nuuniitii jalqabee hamma gaafasitti Israaʼeloonni akkasitti hin ayyaaneffanne. Gammachuun isaaniis akka malee guddaa ture.
And all the assembly of them that were returned from the captivity, made tabernacles, and dwelt in tabernacles: for since the days of Josue the son of Nun the children of Israel had not done so, until that day: and there was exceeding great joy.
18 Izraanis guyyaa jalqabaatii hamma guyyaa dhumaatti guyyuma guyyaan Kitaaba Seera Waaqaa keessaa dubbise. Isaanis guyyaa torba ayyaana sana ayyaaneffatanii guyyaa saddeettaffaatti immoo akkuma seeraatti yaaʼii guddaa godhatan.
And he read in the book of the law of God day by day, from the first day till the last, and they kept the solemnity seven days, and in the eighth day a solemn assembly according to the manner.
