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.
Vse ljudstvo se je zbralo skupaj kakor en mož na ulici, ki je bila pred vodnimi velikimi vrati in spregovorili so pisarju Ezru, da prinese knjigo Mojzesove postave, ki jo je Gospod zapovedal Izraelu.
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,
Duhovnik Ezra je na prvi dan sedmega meseca postavo prinesel pred skupnost tako mož kakor žena in vseh tistih, ki so lahko slišali z razumevanjem.
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.
Bral je tam pred ulico, ki je bila pred vodnimi velikimi vrati od jutra do sredine dneva, pred možmi in ženami in tistimi, ki so lahko razumeli. Ušesa vsega ljudstva so bila pozorna na knjigo postave.
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.
Pisar Ezra je stal na leseni prižnici, ki so jo naredili za ta namen. Poleg njega so na njegovi desni roki stali: Matitjá, Šemaá, Anajá, Urijá, Hilkijá in Maasejá, na njegovi levi roki pa: Pedajá, Mišaél, Malkijá, Hašúm, Hašbadána, Zeharjá in Mešulám.
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,
Ezra je odprl knjigo v pogledu vsega ljudstva (kajti on je bil nad vsem ljudstvom); in ko jo je odprl, je vse ljudstvo vstalo.
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.
Ezra je blagoslovil Gospoda, vélikega Boga. In vse ljudstvo je z dviganjem svojih rok odgovarjalo: »Amen, amen.« In sklonili so svoje glave ter oboževali Gospoda s svojimi obrazi k tlom.
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,
Tudi Ješúa, Baní, Šerebjá, Jamín, Akúb, Šabetáj, Hodijá, Maasejá, Kelitá, Azarjá, Jozabád, Hanán, Pelajá in Lévijevci so storili ljudstvu, da je razumelo postavo in ljudstvo je stalo na svojem mestu.
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.
Tako so razločno brali v knjigi Božje postave in dali pomen in jim storili, da razumejo branje.
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.
Nehemija, ki je Tirsata in pisar Ezra, duhovnik in Lévijevci, ki so učili ljudstvo, so vsemu ljudstvu rekli: »Ta dan je svet Gospodu, svojemu Bogu; ne žalujte niti ne jokajte.« Kajti vse ljudstvo je jokalo, ko so slišali besede postave.
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.'
Potem jim je rekel: »Pojdite svojo pot, jejte tolščo, pijte sladko in pošljite deleže tistim, za katere ni ničesar pripravljenega, kajti ta dan je svet našemu Gospodu. Niti ne bodite žalostni, kajti Gospodova radost je vaša moč.«
11 And the Levites are keeping all the people silent, saying, 'Be silent, for to-day [is] holy, and be not grieved.'
Tako so Lévijevci umirili vse ljudstvo, rekoč: »Ohranite svoj mir, kajti dan je svet. Niti ne bodite užaloščeni.«
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.
In vse ljudstvo je odšlo svojo pot, da jedo in da pijejo in da pošljejo deleže in da naredijo veliko veselje, ker so razumeli besede, ki so jim bile naznanjene.
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.
Na drugi dan so bili zbrani skupaj vodje očetov izmed vsega ljudstva, duhovniki in Lévijevci, k pisarju Ezru, celo da razumejo besede iz postave.
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,
In našli so zapisano v postavi, ki jo je Gospod zapovedal po Mojzesu, da naj bi Izraelovi otroci na praznik sedmega meseca prebivali v šotorih
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.'
in da naj bi objavili in razglasili po vseh svojih mestih in v Jeruzalemu, rekoč: »Pojdite naprej na goro in naberite oljčne mladike, borove mladike, mirtine mladike, mladike palm in mladike debelih dreves, da naredite šotore, kakor je to pisano.«
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.
Tako je ljudstvo šlo naprej in jih prineslo in si naredilo šotore, vsak na strehi svoje hiše, na svojih dvorih, na dvorih Božje hiše, na ulici Vodnih velikih vrat in na ulici Efrájimovih velikih vrat.
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.
Vsa skupnost izmed teh, ki so ponovno prišli iz ujetništva, si je naredila šotore in sedela pod šotori, kajti od dni Nunovega sina Ješúa do tega dne Izraelovi otroci niso tako storili. In tam je bilo zelo veliko veselje.
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.
Tudi dan za dnem, od prvega dne do zadnjega dne, je bral v knjigi Božje postave. Praznovanje so imeli sedem dni, na osmi dan pa je bil slovesen zbor, glede na običaj.
