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 all the people assembled themselues together, in the streete that was before the watergate, and they spake vnto Ezra the Scribe, that hee would bring the booke of ye 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.
And Ezra the Priest brought the Lawe before the Congregation both of men and women, and of all that coulde heare and vnderstand it, in the first day of the seuenth moneth,
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 therein in the streete that was before the watergate (from the morning vntill the midday) before men and women, and them that vnderstoode it, and the eares of all the people hearkened vnto the booke of the Lawe.
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 Ezra the Scribe stoode vpon a pulpit of wood which he had made for the preaching, and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Ananiah, and Vriiah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah on his right hande, and on his left hand Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam.
5 Izraan Kitaabicha bane. Sababii inni isaanii ol dhaabachaa tureef namoonni hundi isa arguu dandaʼan; akkuma inni kitaabicha baneenis sabni hundi kaʼee dhaabate.
And Ezra opened the booke before all the people: for hee was aboue all the people: and when he opened it, all the people stoode vp.
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 Ezra praysed the Lord the great God, and all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting vp their handes: and they bowed themselues, and worshipped the Lord with their faces toward the grounde.
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.
Also Ieshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Iamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Iozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Leuites caused the people to vnderstand the lawe, 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 booke of the Lawe of God distinctly, and gaue the sense, and caused them to vnderstand the reading.
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.
Then Nehemiah (which is Tirshatha) and Ezra the Priest and scribe, and the Leuites that instructed the people, saide vnto all the people, This day is holie vnto ye Lord your God: mourne not, neither weepe: for all the people wept, whe they heard the words of the Lawe.
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.”
He saide also vnto the, Go, and eate of the fat, and drinke the sweete, and send part vnto them, for whome none is prepared: for this day is holie vnto our Lord: be ye not sorie therefore: for the ioy of the Lord is your strength.
11 Lewwonnis, “Calʼisaa; guyyaan kun guyyaa qulqulluudhaatii hin gaddinaa” jedhanii uummata hunda ni tasgabbeessan.
And the Leuites made silence throughout all the people, saying, Holde your peace: for the day is holy, be not sad therefore.
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.
Then all the people went to eate and to drinke, and to send away part, and to make great ioy, because they had vnderstand the wordes that they 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 chiefe fathers of all the people, the Priests and the Leuites were gathered vnto Ezra the scribe, that he also might instruct them in the wordes of the Lawe.
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 Moses) that the children of Israel should dwel in boothes in the feast of the seuenth moneth,
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 shoulde cause it to bee declared and proclaimed in all their cities, and in Ierusalem, saying, Go forth vnto the mount, and bring oliue branches, and pine branches, and branches of myrtus, and palme branches, and branches of thicke trees, to make boothes, 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.
So the people went foorth and brought them, and made them boothes, euerie one vpon the roofe of his house, and in their courtes, and in the courtes of the house of God, and in the streete by the watergate, and in the streete 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 Congregation of them that were come againe out of the captiuitie made boothes, and sate vnder the boothes: for since the time of Ieshua the sonne of Nun vnto this day, had not the children of Israel done so, and there was very great ioy.
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 booke of the Lawe of God euery day, from the first day vnto the last day. and they kept the feast seuen dayes, and on the eight day a solemne assemblie, according vnto the maner.
