Nehemiah 8
1 And all the people are gathered as one man unto the broad place that [is] before the water-gate, and they say to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, that Jehovah commanded Israel.
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.
2 And Ezra the priest bringeth the law before the assembly, both of men and women, and every one intelligent to hear, on the first day of the seventh month,
Kanaafuu Izraan lubichi guyyaa jalqaba jiʼa torbaffaatti fuula waldaa dhiiraa fi dubartii warra waa hubachuu dandaʼan hundaa duratti Seera sana fide.
3 and he readeth in it before the broad place that [is] before the water-gate, from the light till the middle of the day, over-against the men, and the women, and those intelligent, and the ears of all the people [are] unto the book of the law.
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.
4 And Ezra the scribe standeth on a tower of wood that they made for the purpose, and Mattithiah standeth near him, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right; and on his left Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchijah, and Hashum, and Hashbaddana, Zechariah, Meshullam.
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.
5 And Ezra openeth the book before the eyes of all the people — for above all the people he hath been — and at his opening [it] all the people have stood up,
Izraan Kitaabicha bane. Sababii inni isaanii ol dhaabachaa tureef namoonni hundi isa arguu dandaʼan; akkuma inni kitaabicha baneenis sabni hundi kaʼee dhaabate.
6 and Ezra blesseth Jehovah, the great God, and all the people answer, 'Amen, Amen,' with lifting up of their hands, and they bow and do obeisance to Jehovah — faces to the earth.
Izraanis Waaqayyo Waaqa guddicha galateeffate; namoonni hundinuus harka ol qabatanii, “Ameen! Ameen!” jedhanii jalaa qaban. Ergasiis gad jedhanii addaan lafatti gombifamanii Waaqayyoof sagadan.
7 And Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, giving the people understanding in the law, and the people, [are] on their station,
Lewwonni jechuunis Yeeshuuʼaan, Baaniin, Sheereebiyaan, Yaamiin, Aquub, Shaabetaayi, Hoodiyaa, Maʼaseyaan, Qeliixaa, Azaariyaa, Yoozaabaad, Haanaanii fi Phelaayaan utuma waldaan achi dhaabatee jiruu seera sana ibsaniif.
8 and they read in the book, in the law of God, explaining — so as to give the meaning, and they give understanding to the convocation.
Isaanis akka sabni waan dubbifame sana hubatuuf Kitaaba Seera Waaqaa keessaa dubbisanii ibsuudhaan hiikkaa isaa kennaa turan.
9 And Nehemiah — he [is] the Tirshatha — saith (and Ezra the priest, the scribe, and the Levites who are instructing the people) to all the people, 'To-day is holy to Jehovah your God, do not mourn, nor weep:' for all the people are weeping at their hearing the words of the law.
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.
10 And he saith to them, 'Go, eat fat things, and drink sweet things, and sent portions to him for whom nothing is prepared, for to-day [is] holy to our Lord, and be not grieved, for the joy of Jehovah is your strength.'
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.”
11 And the Levites are keeping all the people silent, saying, 'Be silent, for to-day [is] holy, and be not grieved.'
Lewwonnis, “Calʼisaa; guyyaan kun guyyaa qulqulluudhaatii hin gaddinaa” jedhanii uummata hunda ni tasgabbeessan.
12 And all the people go to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great joy, because they have understood concerning the words that they made known to them.
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.
13 And on the second day have been gathered heads of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to act wisely concerning the words of the law.
Bultii lammaffaa jiʼa sanaatti abbootiin maatiiwwanii hundinuu dubbii Seera sanaa qalbeeffachuuf lubootaa fi Lewwota wajjin Izraa barsiisaa sana biratti walitti qabaman.
14 And they find written in the law that Jehovah commanded by the hand of Moses, that the sons of Israel dwell in booths in the feast, in the seventh month,
Isaanis akka ajajni Waaqayyo karaa Museen kenne kan, Israaʼeloonni yeroo ayyaana jiʼa torbaffaatti daasii keessa turuu qabu jedhu sun seera keessatti barreeffamee jiru argatan;
15 and that they proclaim and cause to pass over all their cities, (and in Jerusalem, ) saying, 'Go ye out to the mount, and bring leaves of the olive, and leaves of the oil tree, and leaves of the myrtle, and leaves of the palms, and leaves of thick trees, to make booths as it is written.'
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.
16 And the people go out, and bring in, and make for themselves booths, each on his roof, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the broad place of the water-gate, and in the broad place of the gate of Ephraim.
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.
17 And they make — all the assembly of the captives of the captivity — booths, and they sit in booths; for the sons of Israel had not done, from the days of Jeshua son of Nun, so unto that day, and there is very great joy.
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.
18 And he readeth in the book of the law of God day by day, from the first day till the last day, and they make a feast seven days, and on the eighth day a restraint, according to the ordinance.
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.
