Nehemias 8
1 Naguummong dagiti amin a tattao idiay nalawa a disso iti sango ti Ruangan ti Danum para iti maysa a panggep. Kiniddawda kenni Ezra nga eskriba nga iyegna ti Libro ti Linteg ni Moises nga imbilin ni Yahweh iti Israel.
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.
2 Iti umuna nga aldaw iti maikapito a bulan, inyeg ni Ezra a padi ti linteg iti sangoanan ti gimong, babbai man wenno lallaki, ken kadagiti amin a makangngeg ken makaawat.
So Esdras the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and every one who had understanding [was present] to hearken, on the first day of the seventh month.
3 Sinangona ti nalawa a disso iti sango ti Ruangan ti Danum, ket binasana daytoy manipud iti agsapa agingga iti agmatuon, iti sangoanan dagiti lallaki ken babbai, ken iti siasinoman a makaawat. Ket dimngeg a nasayaat dagiti tattao iti Libro ti Linteg.
And he read in it from the time of sun-rise 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.
4 Ket nagtakder ni Ezra nga eskriba iti nangato a kayo a plataforma nga inaramid dagiti tattao para iti daytoy a panggep. Nakatakder iti makannawanna da Mattitias, Sema, Anaias, Urias, Hilkias ken Maaseias; ken nakatakder iti makannigidna da Pedaias, Misael, Malkija, Hasum, Hasbaddana, Zacarias ken Mesullam.
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.
5 Linuktan ni Ezra ti libro iti imatang dagiti amin a tattao gapu ta nakatakder isuna iti ngatoenda, ket nagtakder dagiti amin a tattao apaman a naluktanna daytoy.
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.
6 Nagyaman ni Ezra kenni Yahweh, ti naindaklan a Dios ken inngato dagiti amin a tattao dagiti imada ket insungbatda, “Sapay koma ta kasta! Sapay koma ta kasta!” Kalpasanna, nagpaklebda ket nagdaydayawda kenni Yahweh.
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.
7 Tinulongan da Jesua, Bani, Serebias, Jamin, Akkub, Sabbetai, Hodias, Maaseias, Kelita, Azarias, Josabad, Hanan, Pelaias ken dagiti Levita dagiti tattao tapno maawatanda ti linteg kabayatan nga adda latta kadagiti puestoda dagiti tattao.
And Jesus and Banaias and Sarabias instructed the people in the law, and the people [stood] in their place.
8 Ken binasada iti libro, ti linteg ti Dios, ket inlawlawagda daytoy babaen iti panangipatarus ken panangitedda iti kaipapanan daytoy tapno maawatan dagiti tattao ti naibasa.
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.
9 Ni Nehemias a gobernador, ni Ezra a padi ken eskriba, ken dagiti Levita a mangipalpalawag kadagiti tattao ket kinunada kadagiti amin a tattao, “Nasantoan daytoy nga aldaw kenni Yahweh a Diosyo. Saankayo nga agladingit wenno agsangit.” Ta nagsasangit dagiti amin a tattao idi nangngegda dagiti sasao manipud iti linteg.
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.
10 Ket kinunana ni Nehemias kadakuada, “Agawidkayon, mangankayo iti naimas a taraon ken uminumkayo iti nasam-it, ket mangtedkayo kadagiti awan ti naisaganana gapu ta nasantoan daytoy nga aldaw iti Apotayo. Saankayo nga agladingit, ta ti rag-o ni Yahweh ti pigsayo.”
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.
11 Isu a pinagulimek dagiti Levita dagiti tattao a kunada, “Agtalnakayo! ta nasantoan daytoy nga aldaw. Saankayo nga agladingit.”
And the Levites caused all the people to be silent, saying, Be silent, for [it is] a holy day, and despond not.
12 Ket nagawid dagiti tattao tapno mangan, uminum, mangibingay iti makan, ken agrambakda nga addaan iti kasta unay a rag-o gapu ta naawatanda dagiti sasao a naipakaammo kadakuada.
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.
13 Iti maikadua nga aldaw, dagiti panguloen dagiti kapuonan ti pamilia manipud kadagiti amin a tattao, dagiti padi ken dagiti Levita ket sangsangkamaysada a napan kenni Ezra nga eskriba tapno adalenda dagiti sasao ti linteg.
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.
14 Ket nakitada a nakailanad iti linteg no kasano nga imbilin ni Yahweh babaen kenni Moises a rumbeng nga agnaed kadagiti tolda dagiti tattao ti Israel kabayatan ti fiesta iti maikapito a bulan.
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:
15 Rumbeng nga iwaragawagda iti amin a siudadda ken iti Jerusalem, a kunada, “Mapankayo idiay katurturodan, ken mangalakayo kadagiti sanga ti kayo nga olibo ken balang nga olibo, sangsanga ti mirto, sangsanga ti palma ken sangsanga dagiti narukbos a kayo tapno agaramidkayo kadagiti abong-abong,” a kas naisurat.
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.
16 Isu a napan nangala dagiti tattao kadagiti sanga ket nagaramidda kadagiti abong-abong iti tuktok dagiti babbalayda, kadagiti paraanganda, kadagiti paraangan ti balay ti Dios, iti nalawa a disso iti abay ti Ruangan ti Danum ken iti plasa iti abay ti Ruangan ni Efraim.
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.
17 Ket nagaramid dagti amin a gimong dagiti nakasubli manipud iti pannakaitalawda a kas balud kadagiti abong-abong sada nagyan kadagitoy. Agsipud ta saan a rinambakan dagiti tattao ti Israel daytoy a fiesta manipud iti aldaw ni Josue a putot ni Nun agingga iti dayta nga aldaw. Ket kasta unay ti rag-oda.
And all the congregation who had returned from the captivity, made booths, and dwelt 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.
18 Manipud iti umuna nga aldaw agingga iti maudi, inaldaw nga agbasa ni Ezra manipud iti Libro iti Linteg ti Dios. Rinambakanda ti fiesta iti pito nga aldaw ken iti maikawalo nga aldaw ket nangangayda iti napasnek a panagguummong a kas panagtulnog iti paglintegan.
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.
