Nehemia 8
1 watu wote wakakusanyika kama mtu mmoja kwenye uwanja mbele ya Lango la Maji. Wakamwambia Ezra mwandishi alete Kitabu cha Sheria ya Mose, ambacho Bwana aliamuru kwa ajili ya Israeli.
and to gather all [the] people like/as man one to(wards) [the] street/plaza which to/for face: before gate [the] Water (Gate) and to say to/for Ezra [the] secretary to/for to come (in): bring [obj] scroll: book instruction Moses which to command LORD [obj] Israel
2 Basi katika siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa saba, kuhani Ezra akaleta Sheria mbele ya kusanyiko, ambamo walikuwamo wanaume, wanawake na watu wote walioweza kufahamu.
and to come (in): bring Ezra [the] priest [obj] [the] instruction to/for face: before [the] assembly from man and till woman and all to understand to/for to hear: hear in/on/with day one to/for month [the] seventh
3 Akaisoma kwa sauti kubwa tangu mapambazuko mpaka adhuhuri, akiwa ameuelekea uwanja uliokuwa mbele ya Lango la Maji mbele ya wanaume, wanawake na wengine ambao waliweza kufahamu. Watu wote wakasikiliza kwa makini kile Kitabu cha Sheria.

4 Mwandishi Ezra alikuwa amesimama juu ya jukwaa la miti lililojengwa kwa kusudi hilo. Karibu naye upande wa kuume alisimama Matithia, Shema, Anaya, Uria, Hilkia na Maaseya. Upande wake wa kushoto walikuwepo Pedaya, Mishaeli, Malkiya, Hashumu, Hashbadani, Zekaria na Meshulamu.

5 Ezra akakifungua kile kitabu. Watu wote waliweza kumwona kwa sababu alikuwa amesimama juu zaidi, naye alipokifungua watu wote wakasimama.
and to open Ezra [the] scroll: book to/for eye: seeing all [the] people for from upon all [the] people to be and like/as to open he to stand: stand all [the] people
6 Ezra akamsifu Bwana, Mungu mkuu, nao watu wote wakainua mikono yao na kuitikia, “Amen! Amen!” Kisha wakasujudu na kumwabudu Bwana hali nyuso zao zikigusa ardhi.
and to bless Ezra [obj] LORD [the] God [the] great: large and to answer all [the] people amen amen in/on/with lifting hand their and to bow and to bow to/for LORD face land: soil [to]
7 Watu wakiwa wamesimama pale, Walawi wafuatao waliwafunza ile Sheria: Yeshua, Bani, Sherebia, Yamini, Akubu, Shabethai, Hodia, Maaseya, Kelita, Azaria, Yozabadi, Hanani na Pelaya.
and Jeshua and Bani and Sherebiah Jamin Akkub Shabbethai Hodiah Maaseiah Kelita Azariah Jozabad Hanan Pelaiah and [the] Levi to understand [obj] [the] people to/for instruction and [the] people upon post their
8 Walisoma kutoka kile Kitabu cha Sheria ya Mungu, wakiifafanua na kuwapa maelezo ili watu waweze kufahamu kile kilichokuwa kikisomwa.
and to call: read out in/on/with scroll: book in/on/with instruction [the] God to declare and to set: name understanding and to understand in/on/with assembly
9 Ndipo Nehemia aliyekuwa mtawala, Ezra kuhani na mwandishi, pamoja na Walawi waliokuwa wakiwafundisha watu wakawaambia wote, “Siku hii ni takatifu kwa Bwana Mungu wenu. Msiomboleze wala msilie.” Kwa kuwa watu wote walikuwa wakilia walipokuwa wakisikiliza maneno ya ile Sheria.
and to say Nehemiah he/she/it [the] governor and Ezra [the] priest [the] secretary and [the] Levi [the] to understand [obj] [the] people to/for all [the] people [the] day holy he/she/it to/for LORD God your not to mourn and not to weep for to weep all [the] people like/as to hear: hear they [obj] word [the] instruction
10 Nehemia akasema, “Nendeni mkafurahie chakula kizuri na vinywaji vitamu, na mpeleke sehemu kwa wale ambao hawana chochote cha kula. Siku hii ni takatifu kwa Bwana. Msihuzunike, kwa kuwa furaha ya Bwana ni nguvu zenu.”
and to say to/for them to go: went to eat fat piece and to drink sweetness and to send: depart portion to/for nothing to establish: prepare to/for him for holy [the] day to/for lord our and not to hurt for joy LORD he/she/it security your
11 Walawi wakawatuliza watu wote wakisema, “Kuweni watulivu, kwa kuwa hii ni siku takatifu. Msihuzunike.”
and [the] Levi be silent to/for all [the] people to/for to say to silence for [the] day holy and not to hurt
12 Kisha watu wote wakaondoka kwenda kula na kunywa, na kupeana sehemu ya chakula, na wakaadhimisha kwa furaha kubwa, kwa sababu sasa walifahamu maneno yale waliyokuwa wameelezwa.
and to go: went all [the] people to/for to eat and to/for to drink and to/for to send: depart portion and to/for to make joy great: large for to understand in/on/with word which to know to/for them
13 Katika siku ya pili ya mwezi, wakuu wa mbari zote, pamoja na makuhani na Walawi, walikusanyika wakimzunguka Ezra mwandishi ili wapate kusikiliza kwa makini maneno ya Sheria.
and in/on/with day [the] second to gather head: leader [the] father to/for all [the] people [the] priest and [the] Levi to(wards) Ezra [the] secretary and to/for be prudent to(wards) word [the] instruction
14 Wakakuta imeandikwa katika ile Sheria, ambayo Bwana aliiamuru kupitia kwa Mose, kwamba Waisraeli walipaswa kukaa katika vibanda wakati wa sikukuu ya mwezi wa saba,
and to find to write in/on/with instruction which to command LORD in/on/with hand: by Moses which to dwell son: descendant/people Israel in/on/with booth in/on/with feast in/on/with month [the] seventh
15 na kwamba walipaswa kutangaza neno hili na kulieneza katika miji yao na katika Yerusalemu wakisema: “Enendeni katika nchi ya mlima na kuleta matawi kutoka miti ya mizeituni, mizeituni mwitu, mihadasi, mitende na miti ya kivuli, ili kutengeneza vibanda,” kama ilivyoandikwa.
and which to hear: proclaim and to pass voice: message in/on/with all city their and in/on/with Jerusalem to/for to say to come out: come [the] mountain: mount and to come (in): bring leaf olive and leaf tree oil and leaf myrtle and leaf palm and leaf tree leafy to/for to make booth like/as to write
16 Basi watu wakaenda na kuleta matawi, nao wakajijengea vibanda juu ya paa za nyumba zao, katika nyua zao, katika nyua za nyumba ya Mungu, na katika uwanja karibu na Lango la Maji na uwanja wa Lango la Efraimu.
and to come out: come [the] people and to come (in): bring and to make to/for them booth man: anyone upon roof his and in/on/with court their and in/on/with court house: temple [the] God and in/on/with street/plaza gate [the] Water (Gate) and in/on/with street/plaza gate Ephraim (Gate)
17 Jamii yote ya watu waliorudi kutoka utumwani wakajenga vibanda na kuishi ndani yake. Tangu wakati wa Yoshua mwana wa Nuni mpaka siku ile, Waisraeli hawakuwahi kuiadhimisha namna hii. Furaha yao ilikuwa kubwa sana.
and to make all [the] assembly [the] to return: return from [the] captivity booth and to dwell in/on/with booth for not to make: do from day Jeshua son: child Nun so son: descendant/people Israel till [the] day [the] he/she/it and to be joy great: large much
18 Siku baada ya siku, kuanzia siku ya kwanza hadi ya mwisho, Ezra alisoma kutoka kwenye kile Kitabu cha Sheria ya Mungu. Wakaiadhimisha sikukuu ile kwa siku saba, nayo siku ya nane, kufuatana na maagizo, kulikuwa na kusanyiko maalum.
and to call: read out in/on/with scroll: book instruction [the] God day: daily in/on/with day: daily from [the] day: daily [the] first till [the] day: daily [the] last and to make: do feast seven day and in/on/with day: daily [the] eighth assembly like/as justice: judgement
