نَحَمْيَا 8
| ٱجْتَمَعَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ كَرَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى ٱلسَّاحَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَامَ بَابِ ٱلْمَاءِ وَقَالُوا لِعَزْرَا ٱلْكَاتِبِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ بِسِفْرِ شَرِيعَةِ مُوسَى ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١ 1 |
And the seventh month arrived, and the children of Israel [were settled] in their cities; and all the people were gathered as one man to the broad place before the water-gate, and they told Esdras the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the Lord commanded Israel.
| فَأَتَى عَزْرَا ٱلْكَاتِبُ بِٱلشَّرِيعَةِ أَمَامَ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ وَٱلنِّسَاءِ وَكُلِّ فَاهِمٍ مَا يُسْمَعُ، فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّابِعِ. | ٢ 2 |
So Esdras the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and every one who had understanding [was present] to listen, on the first day of the seventh month.
| وَقَرَأَ فِيهَا أَمَامَ ٱلسَّاحَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَامَ بَابِ ٱلْمَاءِ، مِنَ ٱلصَّبَاحِ إِلَى نِصْفِ ٱلنَّهَارِ، أَمَامَ ٱلرِّجَالِ وَٱلنِّسَاءِ وَٱلْفَاهِمِينَ. وَكَانَتْ آذَانُ كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ نَحْوَ سِفْرِ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ. | ٣ 3 |
And he read in it from the time of sunrise to the middle of the day, before the men and the women; and they understood [it], and the ears of all the people [were attentive] to the book of the law.
| وَوَقَفَ عَزْرَا ٱلْكَاتِبُ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ ٱلْخَشَبِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلُوهُ لِهَذَا ٱلْأَمْرِ، وَوَقَفَ بِجَانِبِهِ مَتَّثْيَا وَشَمَعُ وَعَنَايَا وَأُورِيَّا وَحِلْقِيَّا وَمَعْسِيَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَدَايَا وَمِيشَائِيلُ وَمَلْكِيَّا وَحَشُومُ وَحَشْبَدَّانَةُ وَزَكَرِيَّا وَمَشُلَّامُ. | ٤ 4 |
And Esdras the scribe stood on a wooden stage, and there stood next to him Mattathias, and Samaeas, and Ananias, and Urias, and Chelcia, and Massia, on his right hand; and on his left Phadaeas, and Misael, and Melchias, and Asom, and Asabadma, and Zacharias, and Mesollam.
| وَفَتَحَ عَزْرَا ٱلسِّفْرَ أَمَامَ كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ فَوْقَ كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ. وَعِنْدَمَا فَتَحَهُ وَقَفَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ. | ٥ 5 |
And Esdras opened the book before all the people, for he was above the people; and it came to pass when he had opened it, [that] all the people stood.
| وَبَارَكَ عَزْرَا ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْإِلَهَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ. وَأَجَابَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «آمِينَ، آمِينَ!» رَافِعِينَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ، وَخَرُّوا وَسَجَدُوا لِلرَّبِّ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٦ 6 |
And Esdras blessed the Lord, the great God: and all the people answered, and said, Amen, lifting up their hands: and they bowed down and worshipped the Lord with their face to the ground.
| وَيَشُوعُ وَبَانِي وَشَرَبْيَا وَيَامِينُ وَعَقُّوبُ وَشَبْتَايُ وَهُودِيَّا وَمَعْسِيَا وَقَلِيطَا وَعَزَرْيَا وَيُوزَابَادُ وَحَنَانُ وَفَلَايَا وَٱللَّاوِيُّونَ أَفْهَمُوا ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلشَّرِيعَةَ، وَٱلشَّعْبُ فِي أَمَاكِنِهِمْ. | ٧ 7 |
And Jesus and Banaias and Sarabias instructed the people in the law, and the people [stood] in their place.
| وَقَرَأُوا فِي ٱلسِّفْرِ، فِي شَرِيعَةِ ٱللهِ، بِبَيَانٍ، وَفَسَّرُوا ٱلْمَعْنَى، وَأَفْهَمُوهُمُ ٱلْقِرَاءَةَ. | ٨ 8 |
And they read in the book of the law of God, and Esdras taught, and instructed them distinctly in the knowledge of the Lord, and the people understood [the law] in the reading.
| وَنَحَمْيَا أَيِ ٱلتِّرْشَاثَا، وَعَزْرَا ٱلْكَاهِنُ ٱلْكَاتِبُ، وَٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ ٱلْمُفْهِمُونَ ٱلشَّعْبَ قَالُوا لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ: «هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمُ مُقَدَّسٌ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ، لَا تَنُوحُوا وَلَا تَبْكُوا». لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَ ٱلشَّعْبِ بَكَوْا حِينَ سَمِعُوا كَلَامَ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ. | ٩ 9 |
And Neemias, and Esdras the priest and scribe, and the Levites, and they that instructed the people, spoke and said to all the people, It 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.
| فَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱذْهَبُوا كُلُوا ٱلسَّمِينَ، وَٱشْرَبُوا ٱلْحُلْوَ، وَٱبْعَثُوا أَنْصِبَةً لِمَنْ لَمْ يُعَدَّ لَهُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْيَوْمَ إِنَّمَا هُوَ مُقَدَّسٌ لِسَيِّدِنَا. وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا، لِأَنَّ فَرَحَ ٱلرَّبِّ هُوَ قُوَّتُكُمْ». | ١٠ 10 |
And [the governor] said to them, Go, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions to them that have nothing; for the day is holy to our Lord: and faint not, for the Lord is our strength.
| وَكَانَ ٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ يُسَكِّتُونَ كُلَّ ٱلشَّعْبِ قَائِلِينَ: «ٱسْكُتُوا، لِأَنَّ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُقَدَّسٌ فَلَا تَحْزَنُوا». | ١١ 11 |
And the Levites caused all the people to be silent, saying, Be silent, for [it is] a holy day, and despond not.
| فَذَهَبَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ لِيَأْكُلُوا وَيَشْرَبُوا وَيَبْعَثُوا أَنْصِبَةً وَيَعْمَلُوا فَرَحًا عَظِيمًا، لِأَنَّهُمْ فَهِمُوا ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلَّذِي عَلَّمُوهُمْ إِيَّاهُ. | ١٢ 12 |
So all the people departed to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, for they understood the words which he made known to them.
| وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّانِي ٱجْتَمَعَ رُؤُوسُ آبَاءِ جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَٱلْكَهَنَةِ وَٱللَّاَوِيُّونَ إِلَى عَزْرَا ٱلْكَاتِبِ لِيُفْهِمَهُمْ كَلَامَ ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ. | ١٣ 13 |
And on the second day the heads of families assembled with all the people, [also] the priests and Levites, to Esdras the scribe, to attend to all the words of the law.
| فَوَجَدُوا مَكْتُوبًا فِي ٱلشَّرِيعَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَمَرَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ يَدِ مُوسَى أَنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يَسْكُنُونَ فِي مَظَالَّ فِي ٱلْعِيدِ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّابِعِ، | ١٤ 14 |
And they found written in the law which the Lord commanded Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths, in the feast in the seventh month:
| وَأَنْ يُسْمِعُوا وَيُنَادُوا فِي كُلِّ مُدُنِهِمْ وَفِي أُورُشَلِيمَ قَائِلِينَ: «ٱخْرُجُوا إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ وَأْتُوا بِأَغْصَانِ زَيْتُونٍ وَأَغْصَانِ زَيْتُونٍ بَرِّيٍّ وَأَغْصَانِ آسٍ وَأَغْصَانِ نَخْلٍ وَأَغْصَانِ أَشْجَارٍ غَبْيَاءَ لِعَمَلِ مَظَالَّ، كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ». | ١٥ 15 |
and that they should sound with trumpets in all their cities, and in Jerusalem. And Esdras said, Go forth to the mountain, and bring branches of olive, and branches of cypress trees, and branches of myrtle, and branches of palm trees, and branches of [every] thick tree, to make booths, according to that which was written.
| فَخَرَجَ ٱلشَّعْبُ وَجَلَبُوا وَعَمِلُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ مَظَالَّ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى سَطْحِهِ، وَفِي دُورِهِمْ، وَدُورِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ، وَفِي سَاحَةِ بَابِ ٱلْمَاءِ، وَفِي سَاحَةِ بَابِ أَفْرَايِمَ. | ١٦ 16 |
And the people went forth, and brought [them], and made booths for themselves, each one upon his roof, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the streets of the city, and as far as the gate of Ephraim.
| وَعَمِلَ كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ ٱلرَّاجِعِينَ مِنَ ٱلسَّبْيِ مَظَالَّ، وَسَكَنُوا فِي ٱلْمَظَالِّ، لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ هَكَذَا مِنْ أَيَّامِ يَشُوعَ بْنِ نُونٍ إِلَى ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، وَكَانَ فَرَحٌ عَظِيمٌ جِدًّا. | ١٧ 17 |
And all the congregation who had returned from the captivity, made booths, and lived in booths: for the children of Israel [had] not done so from the days of Jesus the son of Naue until that day: and there was great joy.
| وَكَانَ يُقْرَأُ فِي سِفْرِ شَرِيعَةِ ٱللهِ يَوْمًا فَيَوْمًا مِنَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ إِلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَخِيرِ. وَعَمِلُوا عِيدًا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّامِنِ ٱعْتِكَافٌ حَسَبَ ٱلْمَرْسُومِ. | ١٨ 18 |
And [Esdras] read in the book of the law of God daily, from the first day even to the last day: and they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day a solemn assembly, according to the ordinance.
