Neemias 8
1 E chegado o setimo mez, e estando os filhos d'Israel nas suas cidades, todo o povo se ajuntou como um só homem, na praça, diante da porta das aguas: e disseram a Esdras, o escriba, que trouxesse o livro da lei de Moysés, que o Senhor tinha ordenado a Israel.
And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which YHWH had commanded to Israel.
2 E Esdras, o sacerdote, trouxe a lei perante a congregação, assim d'homens como de mulheres, e de todos os entendidos para ouvirem, no primeiro dia do setimo mez.
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 E leu n'elle diante da praça, que está diante da porta das aguas, desde a alva até ao meio dia, perante homens e mulheres, e entendidos: e os ouvidos de todo o povo estavam attentos ao livro da lei.
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 E Esdras, o escriba, estava sobre um pulpito de madeira, que fizeram para aquillo: e estava em pé junto a elle, á sua mão direita, Mattithias, e Sema, e Anaias, e Urias, e Hilkias, e Maaseias; e á sua mão esquerda, Pedaias, e Misael, e Melchias, e Hasum, e Hasbaddana, Zacharias, e Mesullam.
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 E Esdras abriu o livro perante os olhos de todo o povo; porque estava acima de todo o povo; e, abrindo-o elle, todo o povo se poz em pé.
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 E Esdras louvou ao Senhor, o grande Deus: e todo o povo respondeu, Amen, Amen! levantando as suas mãos; e inclinaram-se, e adoraram ao Senhor, com os rostos em terra.
And Ezra blessed YHWH, the great Elohim. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped YHWH with their faces to the ground.
7 E Jesua, e Bani, e Serebias, Jamin, Akkub, Sabbethai, Hodias, Maaseias, Kelita, Azarias, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaias, e os levitas ensinavam o povo na lei: e o povo estava no seu posto.
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 E leram no livro, na lei de Deus; e declarando, e explicando o sentido, faziam que, lendo, se entendesse.
So they read in the book in the law of Elohim distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
9 E Nehemias (que era o tirsatha), e o sacerdote Esdras, o escriba, e os levitas que ensinavam ao povo, disseram a todo o povo: Este dia é consagrado ao Senhor vosso Deus, pelo que não vos lamenteis, nem choreis. Porque todo o povo chorava, ouvindo as palavras da lei.
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 YHWH your Elohim; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.
10 Disse-lhes mais: Ide, comei as gorduras, e bebei as doçuras, e enviae porções aos que não teem nada preparado para si; porque este dia é consagrado ao nosso Senhor: portanto não vos entristeçaes: porque a alegria do Senhor é a vossa força.
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 Sovereign: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of YHWH is your strength.
11 E os levitas fizeram calar a todo o povo, dizendo: Calae-vos; porque este dia é santo: por isso não vos entristeçaes.
So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved.
12 Então todo o povo se foi a comer, e a beber, e a enviar porções, e a fazer grandes alegrias: porque entenderam as palavras que lhes fizeram saber.
And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.
13 E no dia seguinte ajuntaram-se os cabeças dos paes de todo o povo, os sacerdotes, e os levitas, a Esdras, o escriba: e isto para attentarem nas palavras da lei.
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 E acharam escripto na lei que o Senhor ordenara, pelo ministerio de Moysés, que os filhos d'Israel habitassem em cabanas, na solemnidade da festa, no setimo mez.
And they found written in the law which YHWH had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month:
15 Assim o publicaram, e fizeram passar pregão por todas as suas cidades, e em Jerusalem, dizendo: Sahi ao monte, e trazei ramos d'oliveiras, e ramos d'arvores olearias, e ramos de murtas, e ramos de palmeiras, e ramos d'arvores espessas, para fazer cabanas, como está escripto.
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 Saiu pois o povo, e os trouxeram, e fizeram para si cabanas, cada um no seu terrado, e nos seus pateos, e nos atrios da casa de Deus, e na praça da porta das aguas, e na praça da porta d'Ephraim.
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 Elohim, and in the street of the water gate, and in the street of the gate of Ephraim.
17 E toda a congregação dos que voltaram do captiveiro fizeram cabanas e habitaram nas cabanas, porque nunca fizeram assim os filhos d'Israel, desde os dias de Josué, filho de Nun, até áquelle dia: e houve mui grande alegria.
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 E de dia em dia se leu no livro da lei de Deus, desde o primeiro dia até ao derradeiro; e celebraram a solemnidade da festa sete dias, e no oitavo dia, o dia da prohibição, segundo o rito.
Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of Elohim. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto the manner.
