1 H5971 And all the people H622 [H8735] gathered themselves together H259 as one H376 man H7339 in the street H6440 that was at the face of H4325 the water H8179 gate; H559 [H8799] and they spoke H5830 to Ezra H5608 [H8802] the scribe H935 [H8687] to bring H5612 the book H8451 of the law H4872 of Moses, H3068 which the LORD H6680 [H8765] had commanded H3478 to Israel.

2 H5830 And Ezra H3548 the priest H935 [H8686] brought H8451 the law H6440 at the face of H6951 the congregation H376 both of men H802 and women, H8085 [H8800] and all that could hear H995 [H8688] with understanding, H259 upon the first H3117 day H7637 of the seventh H2320 month.

3 H7121 [H8799] And he read H6440 in it at the face of H7339 the street H6440 that was at the face of H4325 the water H8179 gate H216 from the light H4276 H3117 until midday, H582 before the men H802 and the women, H995 [H8688] and those that could understand; H241 and the ears H5971 of all the people H5612 were attentive to the book H8451 of the law.

4 H5830 And Ezra H5608 [H8802] the scribe H5975 [H8799] stood H4026 upon a pulpit H6086 of wood, H6213 [H8804] which they had made H1697 for the purpose; H681 and beside H5975 [H8799] him stood H4993 Mattithiah, H8087 and Shema, H6043 and Anaiah, H223 and Urijah, H2518 and Hilkiah, H4641 and Maaseiah, H3225 on his right hand; H8040 and on his left hand, H6305 Pedaiah, H4332 and Mishael, H4441 and Malchiah, H2828 and Hashum, H2806 and Hashbadana, H2148 Zechariah, H4918 and Meshullam.

5 H5830 And Ezra H6605 [H8799] opened H5612 the book H5869 in the eyes H5971 of all the people; H5971 (for he was above all the people; H6605 [H8800] ) and when he opened H5971 it, all the people H5975 [H8804] stood up:

6 H5830 And Ezra H1288 [H8762] blessed H3068 the LORD, H1419 the great H430 God. H5971 And all the people H6030 [H8799] answered, H543 Amen, H543 Amen, H4607 with lifting H3027 their hands: H6915 [H8799] and they bowed H7812 [H8691] their heads, and worshipped H3068 the LORD H639 with their noses H776 to the earth.

7 H3442 Also Jeshua, H1137 and Bani, H8274 and Sherebiah, H3226 Jamin, H6126 Akkub, H7678 Shabbethai, H1941 Hodijah, H4641 Maaseiah, H7042 Kelita, H5838 Azariah, H3107 Jozabad, H2605 Hanan, H6411 Pelaiah, H3881 and the Levites, H5971 caused the people H995 [H8688] to understand H8451 the law: H5971 and the people H5977 stood in their place.

8 H7121 [H8799] So they read H5612 in the book H8451 in the law H430 of God H6567 [H8794] distinctly, H7760 [H8800] and gave H7922 the sense, H995 [H8799] and caused them to understand H4744 the reading.

9 H5166 And Nehemiah, H8660 who is the Tirshatha, H5830 and Ezra H3548 the priest H5608 [H8802] the scribe, H3881 and the Levites H995 [H8688] that taught H5971 the people, H559 [H8799] said H5971 to all the people, H3117 This day H6918 is holy H3068 to the LORD H430 your God; H56 [H8691] mourn H1058 [H8799] not, nor weep. H5971 For all the people H1058 [H8802] wept, H8085 [H8800] when they heard H1697 the words H8451 of the law.

10 H559 [H8799] Then he said H3212 [H8798] to them, Go your way, H398 [H8798] eat H4924 the fat, H8354 [H8798] and drink H4477 the sweet, H7971 [H8798] and send H4490 portions H3559 [H8737] to them for whom nothing is prepared: H3117 for this day H6918 is holy H113 to our Sovereign: H6087 [H8735] neither be ye grieved; H2304 for the joy H3068 of the LORD H4581 is your strength.

11 H3881 So the Levites H2814 [H8688] stilled H5971 all the people, H559 [H8800] saying, H2013 [H8761] Hold your peace, H3117 for the day H6918 is holy; H6087 [H8735] neither be ye grieved.

12 H5971 And all the people H3212 [H8799] went their way H398 [H8800] to eat, H8354 [H8800] and to drink, H7971 [H8763] and to send H4490 portions, H6213 [H8800] and to make H1419 great H8057 mirth, H995 [H8689] because they had understood H1697 the words H3045 [H8689] that were declared to them.

13 H8145 And on the second H3117 day H622 [H8738] were gathered together H7218 the heads H1 of the fathers H5971 of all the people, H3548 the priests, H3881 and the Levites, H5830 to Ezra H5608 [H8802] the scribe, H7919 [H8687] even to understand H1697 the words H8451 of the law.

14 H4672 [H8799] And they found H3789 [H8803] written H8451 in the law H3068 which the LORD H6680 [H8765] had commanded H3027 by H4872 Moses, H1121 that the sons H3478 of Israel H3427 [H8799] should dwell H5521 in booths H2282 in the feast H7637 of the seventh H2320 month:

15 H8085 [H8686] And that they should declare H5674 H6963 [H8686] and proclaim H5892 in all their cities, H3389 and in Jerusalem, H559 [H8800] saying, H3318 [H8798] Go forth H2022 to the mount, H935 [H8685] and fetch H2132 olive H5929 branches, H8081 and pine H6086 H5929 branches, H1918 and myrtle H5929 branches, H8558 and palm H5929 branches, H5929 and branches H5687 of thick H6086 trees, H6213 [H8800] to make H5521 booths, H3789 [H8803] as it is written.

16 H5971 So the people H3318 [H8799] went forth, H935 [H8686] and brought H6213 [H8799] them, and made H5521 themselves booths, H376 every one H1406 upon the roof of his house, H2691 and in their courts, H2691 and in the courts H1004 of the house H430 of God, H7339 and in the street H4325 of the water H8179 gate, H7339 and in the street H8179 of the gate H669 of Ephraim.

17 H6951 And all the congregation H7725 [H8802] of them that had returned H7628 from the captivity H6213 [H8799] made H5521 booths, H3427 [H8799] and sat H5521 under the booths: H3117 for since the days H3442 of Joshua H1121 the son H5126 of Nun H3117 to that day H1121 had not the sons H3478 of Israel H6213 [H8804] done so. H3966 And there was very H1419 great H8057 gladness.

18 H3117 Also day H3117 by day, H7223 from the first H3117 day H314 to the last H3117 day, H7121 [H8799] he read H5612 in the book H8451 of the law H430 of God. H6213 [H8799] And they kept H2282 the feast H7651 seven H3117 days; H8066 and on the eighth H3117 day H6116 was a solemn assembly, H4941 according to the manner.

Flebat enim omnis populus cum audiret verba legis. ¹⁰ Et dixit eis: Ite, comedite pinguia, et bibite mulsum, et mittite partes his qui non præparaverunt sibi, quia sanctus dies Domini est: et nolite contristari: gaudium etenim Domini est fortitudo nostra. ¹¹ Levitæ autem silentium faciebant in omni populo, dicentes: Tacete, quia dies sanctus est, et nolite dolere. ¹² Abiit itaque omnis populus ut comederet, et biberet, et mitteret partes, et faceret lætitiam magnam: quia intellexerant verba quæ docuerat eos. ¹³ Et in die secundo congregati sunt principes familiarum universi populi, sacerdotes et Levitæ, ad Esdram scribam, ut interpretaretur eis verba legis. ¹⁴ Et invenerunt scriptum in lege præcepisse Dominum in manu Moysi ut habitent filii Israël in tabernaculis in die solemni, mense septimo: ¹⁵ et ut prædicent, et divulgent vocem in universis urbibus suis, et in Jerusalem, dicentes: Egredimini in montem, et afferte frondes olivæ, et frondes ligni pulcherrimi, frondes myrti, et ramos palmarum, et frondes ligni nemorosi, ut fiant tabernacula, sicut scriptum est. ¹⁶ Et egressus est populus, et attulerunt.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ but when the seventh month was come, the sons of Israel who were in their cities, and all the people, assembled like one man, in the street which is before the water gate, and spoke to Esdras the scribe to bring out the book of the law of Moses, which the Lord had enjoined on Israel. ² So Esdras the priest, brought out the law before the congregation, consisting of men and women, even all who had understanding, to hear it, on the first day of the seventh month, ³ and read therein from sun rising to mid day, before the men and the women, even all who were capable of understanding. And the ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law. ⁴ Now Esdras the scribe stood on a wooden scaffold, and there stood near him Matthathias and Samaias and Ananias and Ourias and Chelkia and Maasia on his right; and on his left, Phadaias and Misael and Melchias and Asom and Asabadma, and Zacharias and Mesollom. ⁵ And Esdras opened the book in the presence of all the people, for he was above them. And when he opened it all the prophets stood up. ⁶ Then Esdras blessed the Lord the great God. And all the people answered and said, Amen, with uplifted hands. Then they bowed down and worshipped the Lord with their faces to the ground. ⁷ And Jesus and Banaias and Sarabias proceeded to instruct the people in the law, and the people kept their station. ⁸ And when they had read in the book of the law of God, Esdras taught and enforced it with a knowledge of the Lord, so that the people gained understanding by the reading. ⁹ Then spake Nehemias; when Esdras the priest and scribe and the Levites and they who instructed the people, had said to all the people, This day is holy to the Lord our God, mourn not nor weep [for all the people wept when they heard the words of the law] ¹⁰ then he said to them, Go, eat dainty meats, and drink sweet wine and send portions to them who have none, for this day is holy to the Lord; and do not despond; for the Lord is our strength. ¹¹ And the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace for this is a holy day and do not despond. ¹² So all the people went away to eat and drink, and send portions and make great joy, because they had gained knowledge by the words which were explained to them. ¹³ And on the second day, when the heads of the families with all the people and the priests and the Levites, were assembled before Esdras the scribe, to attend to all the words of the law, ¹⁴ they found it written in the law which the Lord had given in charge to Moses, That the Israelites should dwell in booths at the festival in the seventh month, ¹⁵ and that they should sound trumpets in all their cities and in Jerusalem. Whereupon Esdras said, Go out to the mountains and bring in olive branches, and branches of cypress trees and myrtle branches and palm branches, and the branches of every bushy tree to make booths according to what is written. ¹⁶ Accordingly the people went out and brought them, and made for themselves booths, every man on his house top, and in their court yards, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the streets of the city, even to the gate of Ephraim. ¹⁷ And when all the congregation; all who had returned from captivity, had made themselves booths and sat therein, because the Israelites had not done so from the days of Joshua son of Nave even to that day, the joy was great. ¹⁸ So he read in the book of the law of God, day by day, from the first day to the last. And when they had kept the festival for seven days, on the eighth day they kept the exod according to custom.

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And all the people assembled as one man in the street that was before the water-gate; and they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel. ² And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month. ³ And he read therein before the street that was before the water-gate from the morning until mid-day, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law. ⁴ And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam. ⁵ And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up: ⁶ And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground. ⁷ Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place. ⁸ So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. ⁹ And Nehemiah, who is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest, the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law. ¹⁰ Then he said to them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions to them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy to our Lord: neither be ye sad; for the joy of the LORD is your strength. ¹¹ So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved. ¹² And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared to them. ¹³ And on the second day were assembled the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, to Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law. ¹⁴ And they found written in the law which the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month: ¹⁵ And that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth to the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written. ¹⁶ So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the water-gate, and in the street of the gate of Ephraim. ¹⁷ And all the congregation of them that had returned from the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun to that day, had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness. ¹⁸ Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the manner.

1 H5971 And all the people H622 [H8735] gathered themselves together H259 as one H376 man H7339 in the street H6440 that was before H4325 the water H8179 gate H559 [H8799] ; and they spoke H5830 to Ezra H5608 [H8802] the scribe H935 [H8687] to bring H5612 the book H8451 of the law H4872 of Moses H3068 , which the LORD H6680 [H8765] had commanded H3478 to Israel.

2 H5830 And Ezra H3548 the priest H935 [H8686] brought H8451 the law H6440 before H6951 the congregation H376 both of men H802 and women H8085 [H8800] , and all that could hear H995 [H8688] with understanding H259 , upon the first H3117 day H7637 of the seventh H2320 month.

3 H7121 [H8799] And he read H6440 in it before H7339 the street H6440 that was before H4325 the water H8179 gate H216 from the morning H4276 H3117 until midday H582 , before the men H802 and the women H995 [H8688] , and those that could understand H241 ; and the ears H5971 of all the people H5612 were attentive to the book H8451 of the law.

4 H5830 And Ezra H5608 [H8802] the scribe H5975 [H8799] stood H4026 upon a pulpit H6086 of wood H6213 [H8804] , which they had made H1697 for the purpose H681 ; and beside H5975 [H8799] him stood H4993 Mattithiah H8087 , and Shema H6043 , and Anaiah H223 , and Urijah H2518 , and Hilkiah H4641 , and Maaseiah H3225 , on his right hand H8040 ; and on his left hand H6305 , Pedaiah H4332 , and Mishael H4441 , and Malchiah H2828 , and Hashum H2806 , and Hashbadana H2148 , Zechariah H4918 , and Meshullam.

5 H5830 And Ezra H6605 [H8799] opened H5612 the book H5869 in the sight H5971 of all the people H5971 ; (for he was above all the people H6605 [H8800] ;) and when he opened H5971 it, all the people H5975 [H8804] stood up:

6 H5830 And Ezra H1288 [H8762] blessed H3068 the LORD H1419 , the great H430 God H5971 . And all the people H6030 [H8799] answered H543 , Amen H543 , Amen H4607 , with lifting H3027 their hands H6915 [H8799] : and they bowed H7812 [H8691] their heads, and worshipped H3068 the LORD H639 with their faces H776 to the ground.

8 H7121 [H8799] So they read H5612 in the book H8451 in the law H430 of God H6567 [H8794] distinctly H7760 [H8800] , and gave H7922 the sense H995 [H8799] , and caused them to understand H4744 the reading.

9 H5166 And Nehemiah H8660 , who is the Tirshatha H5830 , and Ezra H3548 the priest H5608 [H8802] the scribe H3881 , and the Levites H995 [H8688] that taught H5971 the people H559 [H8799] , said H5971 to all the people H3117 , This day H6918 is holy H3068 to the LORD H430 your God H56 [H8691] ; mourn H1058 [H8799] not, nor weep H5971 . For all the people H1058 [H8802] wept H8085 [H8800] , when they heard H1697 the words H8451 of the law.

10 H559 [H8799] Then he said H3212 [H8798] to them, Go your way H398 [H8798] , eat H4924 the fat H8354 [H8798] , and drink H4477 the sweet H7971 [H8798] , and send H4490 portions H3559 [H8737] to them for whom nothing is prepared H3117 : for this day H6918 is holy H113 to our Lord H6087 [H8735] : neither be ye sad H2304 ; for the joy H3068 of the LORD H4581 is your strength.

11 H3881 So the Levites H2814 [H8688] stilled H5971 all the people H559 [H8800] , saying H2013 [H8761] , Hold your peace H3117 , for the day H6918 is holy H6087 [H8735] ; neither be ye grieved.

12 H5971 And all the people H3212 [H8799] went their way H398 [H8800] to eat H8354 [H8800] , and to drink H7971 [H8763] , and to send H4490 portions H6213 [H8800] , and to make H1419 great H8057 mirth H995 [H8689] , because they had understood H1697 the words H3045 [H8689] that were declared to them.

13 H8145 And on the second H3117 day H622 [H8738] were gathered together H7218 the heads H1 of the fathers H5971 of all the people H3548 , the priests H3881 , and the Levites H5830 , to Ezra H5608 [H8802] the scribe H7919 [H8687] , even to understand H1697 the words H8451 of the law.

14 H4672 [H8799] And they found H3789 [H8803] written H8451 in the law H3068 which the LORD H6680 [H8765] had commanded H3027 by H4872 Moses H1121 , that the children H3478 of Israel H3427 [H8799] should dwell H5521 in booths H2282 in the feast H7637 of the seventh H2320 month:

15 H8085 [H8686] And that they should declare H5674 H6963 [H8686] and proclaim H5892 in all their cities H3389 , and in Jerusalem H559 [H8800] , saying H3318 [H8798] , Go forth H2022 to the mount H935 [H8685] , and fetch H2132 olive H5929 branches H8081 , and pine H6086 H5929 branches H1918 , and myrtle H5929 branches H8558 , and palm H5929 branches H5929 , and branches H5687 of thick H6086 trees H6213 [H8800] , to make H5521 booths H3789 [H8803] , as it is written.

16 H5971 So the people H3318 [H8799] went forth H935 [H8686] , and brought H6213 [H8799] them, and made H5521 themselves booths H376 , every one H1406 upon the roof of his house H2691 , and in their courts H2691 , and in the courts H1004 of the house H430 of God H7339 , and in the street H4325 of the water H8179 gate H7339 , and in the street H8179 of the gate H669 of Ephraim.

17 H6951 And all the congregation H7725 [H8802] of them that had returned H7628 from the captivity H6213 [H8799] made H5521 booths H3427 [H8799] , and sat H5521 under the booths H3117 : for since the days H3442 of Joshua H1121 the son H5126 of Nun H3117 to that day H1121 had not the children H3478 of Israel H6213 [H8804] done so H3966 . And there was very H1419 great H8057 gladness.

And they kept H2282 the feast H7651 seven H3117 days H8066 ; and on the eighth H3117 day H6116 was a solemn assembly H4941 , according to the manner.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ 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. 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 hearken, on the first day of the seventh month. ³ 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 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 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 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 And Jesus and Banaias and Sarabias instructed the people in the law, and the people stood in their place. 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. 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. 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. ¹¹ And the Levites caused all the people to be silent, saying, Be silent, for it is a holy day, and despond not. 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. 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. 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: 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. 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. ¹⁷ 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 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.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the open place which is before the water-gate; and they said unto ‘Ezra the expounder that he should bring forward the book of the law of Moses, which the Lord commanded to Israel. ² Then did ‘Ezra the priest bring forward the law before the congregation both of men and women, and every one that had understanding to listen attentively, on the first day of the seventh month; ³ And he read therein in the open place which is before the water-gate from the first daylight until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand: and the ears of all the people were directed unto the book of the law. ⁴ And ‘Ezra the expounder stood upon an elevated stand of wood, which they had made for the purpose: and beside him stood Matthithyah, and Shema’, and ‘Anayah, and Uriyah, and Chilkiyah, and Ma’asseyah, on his right hand; and on his left, Pedayah, and Mishael, and Malkiyah, and Chashum, and Chashbadanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam. ⁵ And ‘Ezra opened the book before the eyes of all the people; for he was standing higher than all the people; and as he opened it, all the people became silent. ⁶ And ‘Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God: and all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands; and they bowed their heads, and prostrated themselves before the Lord with their faces to the ground. ⁷ Also Jeshua’, and Bani, and Sherebyah, Jamin, ‘Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiyah, Ma’asseyah, Kelita, ‘Azaryah, Jozabad, Chanan, Pelayah, and the Levites, explained to the people the law: while the people remained where they stood. ⁸ So they read in the book, in the law of God distinctly, and exhibiting the sense: so that the people understood what was read. ⁹ Then said Nehemiah, that is the Thirshatha, and ‘Ezra the priest the expounder, and the Levites that explained to the people, unto all the people, This day is holy unto the Lord your God: mourn not, and weep not. For all the people were weeping, when they heard the words of the law. ¹⁰ Then said he unto them, Go your way, eat fat things, and drink sweet drinks, and send portions unto him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy unto our Lord: and do not grieve yourselves; but let the joy of the Lord be your stronghold. ¹¹ So the Levites quieted all the people, saying, Be still! for the day is holy: and do not grieve yourselves. ¹² And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send out portions, and to prepare for themselves great joy: because they had understood the words which the others had made known unto them. ¹³ And on the second day there gathered themselves together the chiefs of the divisions of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto ‘Ezra the expounder, to obtain again intelligence of the words of the law. ¹⁴ And they found written in the law that the Lord had commanded through means of Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths during the feast in the seventh month. ¹⁵ And they ordered that they should publish and have proclamation made throughout all their cities, and through Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mountain and fetch olive-leaves, and oleaster-leaves, and myrtle-leaves, and palm-leaves, and leaves of the three-leaved myrtle, to make booths, as it is written. ¹⁶ And the people went forth, and brought them; and they made themselves booths, every one upon his roof, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the open place by the water-gate, and in the open place by the gate of Ephraim. ¹⁷ And all the congregation that were returned out of the captivity made booths, and dwelt in the booths; for since the days of Jeshua’ the son of Nun until that day the children of Israel had not done so. And there was very great joy. ¹⁸ And he read in the book of the law of God, day by day, from the first day until the last day. And they celebrated the feast seven days, and on the eighth day the solemn assembly, after the prescribed manner.

Amen! with the lifting up of their hands,––and they bent their heads and bowed themselves down unto Yahweh, with their faces to the ground. ⁷ And, Jeshua and Bani and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, did cause the people to understand the law, the people, remaining in their places. ⁸ So they read in the book of the law of God, distinctly,––and, giving the sense, caused them to understand the reading.
⁹ Then Nehemiah––he, was the governor––and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites who were causing the people to understand, said unto all the people, Today, is, holy, unto Yahweh your God, do not mourn, nor weep,––for, weeping, were all the people, when they heard the words of the law. ¹⁰ So he said unto them––Go your way, eat the fat and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared, for holy is the day, unto our Lord,––and be not grieved, for, the joy of Yahweh, is your strength. ¹¹ And, the Levites, were quieting all the people, saying––Hush! for, the day, is holy,––and be not grieved. ¹² And all the people went their way, to eat and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great rejoicing,––because they had understood the words which were made known unto them.
¹³ And, on the second day, were gathered together––the ancestral heads of all the people, the priests and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe,––even to give attention unto the words of the law. ¹⁴ And they found written in the law,––that Yahweh gave command through Moses, that the sons of Israel should dwell in booths, during the festival of the seventh month; ¹⁵ and that they should publish and send along a proclamation throughout all their cities and throughout Jerusalem, saying, Forth to the mountain, and bring in branches of olive, and branches of oleaster, and branches of myrtle, and branches of palms, and branches of thick trees,––to make booths, as it is written. ¹⁶ So the people went forth, and brought in, and made themselves booths, every one upon 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. ¹⁷ And all the convocation of them who had returned out of the captivity made booths, and dwelt in booths, for, since the days of Jeshua son of Nun, had not the sons of Israel done so, unto that day,––and there was very great rejoicing. ¹⁸ So he read in the book of the law of God, day by day, from the first day unto the last day, and they kept the festival seven days, and, on the eighth day, a closing feast, according to the regulation.

5 H5830 Ezra H6605 opened H5612 the book H5869 in the sight H5971 of all the people; H5971 (for he was above all the people;) H6605 and when he opened H5971 it, all the people H5975 stood up:

6 H5830 and Ezra H1288 blessed H3068 Yahweh, H1419 the great H430 God. H5971 All the people H6030 answered, H543 "Amen, H543 Amen," H4607 with the lifting up H3027 of their hands. H6915 They bowed H7812 their heads, and worshiped H3068 Yahweh H639 with their faces H776 to the ground.

8 H7121 They read H5612 in the book, H8451 in the law H430 of God, H6567 distinctly; H7760 and they gave H7922 the sense, H995 so that they understood H4744 the reading.

9 H5166 Nehemiah, H8660 who was the governor, H5830 and Ezra H3548 the priest H5608 the scribe, H3881 and the Levites H995 who taught H5971 the people, H559 said H5971 to all the people, H3117 "This day H6918 is holy H3068 to Yahweh H430 your God. H56 Don't mourn, H1058 nor weep." H5971 For all the people H1058 wept, H8085 when they heard H1697 the words H8451 of the law.

10 H559 Then he said H3212 to them, "Go your way. H398 Eat H4924 the fat, H8354 drink H4477 the sweet, H7971 and send H4490 portions H3559 to him for whom nothing is prepared; H3117 for this day H6918 is holy H113 to our Lord. H6087 Don't be grieved; H2304 for the joy H3068 of Yahweh H4581 is your strength."

11 H3881 So the Levites H2814 stilled H5971 all the people, H559 saying, H2013 "Hold your peace, H3117 for the day H6918 is holy; H6087 neither be grieved."

12 H5971 All the people H3212 went their way H398 to eat, H8354 and to drink, H7971 and to send H4490 portions, H6213 and to make H1419 great H8057 mirth, H995 because they had understood H1697 the words H3045 that were declared to them.

13 H8145 On the second H3117 day H622 were gathered together H7218 the heads H1 of fathers' H5971 households of all the people, H3548 the priests, H3881 and the Levites, H5830 to Ezra H5608 the scribe, H7919 even to give attention H1697 to the words H8451 of the law.

14 H4672 They found H3789 written H8451 in the law, H3068 how that Yahweh H6680 had commanded H3027 by H4872 Moses, H1121 that the children H3478 of Israel H3427 should dwell H5521 in booths H2282 in the feast H7637 of the seventh H2320 month;

15 H8085 and that they should publish H5674 and proclaim H5892 in all their cities, H3389 and in Jerusalem, H559 saying, H3318 "Go out H2022 to the mountain, H935 and get H2132 olive H5929 branches, H6086 and branches H8081 of wild olive, H1918 and myrtle H6086 branches, H8558 and palm H5929 branches, H5929 and branches H5687 of thick H6086 trees, H6213 to make H5521 booths, H3789 as it is written."

16 H5971 So the people H3318 went out, H935 and brought H6213 them, and made H5521 themselves booths, H376 everyone H1406 on the roof of his house, H2691 and in their courts, H2691 and in the courts H1004 of the house H430 of God, H7339 and in the broad H4325 place of the water H8179 gate, H7339 and in the broad H8179 place of the gate H669 of Ephraim.

17 H6951 All the assembly H7725 of those who had come again H7628 out of the captivity H6213 made H5521 booths, H3427 and lived H5521 in the booths; H3117 for since the days H3442 of Jeshua H1121 the son H5126 of Nun H3117 to that day H1121 the children H3478 of Israel H6213 had not done so. H3966 There was very H1419 great H8057 gladness.

18 H3117 Also day H3117 by day, H7223 from the first H3117 day H314 to the last H3117 day, H7121 he read H5612 in the book H8451 of the law H430 of God. H6213 They kept H2282 the feast H7651 seven H3117 days; H8066 and on the eighth H3117 day H6116 was a solemn assembly, H4941 according to the ordinance.

NHEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ All the people gathered themselves together as one man into the square that was before the Water Gate; and they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the scroll of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel. ² Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly, both men and women, and all who could hear with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month. ³ And he read it before the square that was before the Water Gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women, and of those who could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive to the scroll of the law. ⁴ Ezra the scribe stood on a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Uriah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchijah, and Hashum, and Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam. ⁵ Ezra opened the scroll in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up: ⁶ and Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God.

TKJU⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel. ² And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month. ³ And he read in it before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law. ⁴ And Ezra the scribe stood on a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam. ⁵ And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people); and when he opened it, all the people stood up: ⁶ And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: And they bowed their heads, and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground. ⁷ Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: And the people stood in their place. ⁸ So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. ⁹ And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law. ¹⁰ Then he said to them, "Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions to them for whom nothing is prepared: For this day is holy to our LORD: Neither be you sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength. ¹¹ So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, "Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be you grieved. ¹² And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared to them. ¹³ And on the second day were gathered together the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, to Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law. ¹⁴ And they found written in the law which the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month: ¹⁵ And that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, "Go forth to the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written. ¹⁶ So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths, every one on the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the water gate, and in the street of the gate of Ephraim. ¹⁷ And all the congregation of those that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: For since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun to that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness. ¹⁸ Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the manner.

1 H5971 And all the people H622 gathered themselves together H259 as one H376 man H7339 into the street H6440 that was before H4325 the water H8179 gate; H559 and they spoke H5830 unto Ezra H5608 the scribe H935 to bring H5612 the book H8451 of the law H4872 of Moses, H3068 which the Lord H6680 had commanded H3478 to Israel.

2 H5830 And Ezra H3548 the priest H935 brought H8451 the law H6440 before H6951 the congregation H376 both of men H802 and women, H8085 and all that could hear H995 with understanding, H259 upon the first H3117 day H7637 of the seventh H2320 month.

3 H7121 And he read H6440 in it before H7339 the street H6440 that was before H4325 the water H8179 gate H216 from the morning H4276 until midday, H582 before the men H802 and the women, H995 and those that could understand; H241 and the ears H5971 of all the people H5612 were attentive unto the book H8451 of the law.

4 H5830 And Ezra H5608 the scribe H5975 stood H4026 upon a pulpit H6086 of wood, H6213 which they had made H1697 for the purpose; H681 and beside H5975 him stood H4993 Mattithiah, H8087 and Shema, H6043 and Anaiah, H223 and Urijah, H2518 and Hilkiah, H4641 and Maaseiah, H3225 on his right hand; H8040 and on his left hand, H6305 Pedaiah, H4332 and Mishael, H4441 and Malchiah, H2828 and Hashum, H2806 and Hashbadana, H2148 Zechariah, H4918 and Meshullam.

5 H5830 And Ezra H6605 opened H5612 the book H5869 in the sight H5971 of all the people; H5971 (for he was above all the people;) H6605 and when he opened H5971 it, all the people H5975 stood up:

6 H5830 And Ezra H1288 blessed H3068 the Lord, H1419 the great H430 God. H5971 And all the people H6030 answered, H543 Amen, H543 Amen, H4607 with lifting up H3027 their hands: H6915 and they bowed H7812 their heads, and worshiped H3068 the Lord H639 with their faces H776 to the ground.

7 H3442 Also Jeshua, H1137 and Bani, H8274 and Sherebiah, H3226 Jamin, H6126 Akkub, H7678 Shabbethai, H1941 Hodijah, H4641 Maaseiah, H7042 Kelita, H5838 Azariah, H3107 Jozabad, H2605 Hanan, H6411 Pelaiah, H3881 and the Levites, H5971 caused the people H995 to understand H8451 the law: H5971 and the people H5977 stood in their place.

8 H7121 So they read H5612 in the book H8451 in the law H430 of God H6567 distinctly, H7760 and gave H7922 the sense, H995 and caused them to understand H4744 the reading.

9 H5166 And Nehemiah, H8660 which is the Tirshatha, H5830 and Ezra H3548 the priest H5608 the scribe, H3881 and the Levites H995 that taught H5971 the people, H559 said H5971 unto all the people, H3117 This day H6918 is holy H3068 unto the Lord H430 your God; H56 mourn H1058 not, nor weep. H5971 For all the people H1058 wept, H8085 when they heard H1697 the words H8451 of the law.

10 H559 Then he said H3212 unto them, Go your way, H398 eat H4924 the fat, H8354 and drink H4477 the sweet, H7971 and send H4490 portions H3559 unto them for whom nothing is prepared: H3117 for this day H6918 is holy H113 unto our Lord: H6087 neither be you sorry; H2304 for the joy H3068 of the Lord H4581 is your strength.

11 H3881 So the Levites H2814 stilled H5971 all the people, H559 saying, H2013 Hold your peace, H3117 for the day H6918 is holy; H6087 neither be you grieved.

13 H8145 And on the second H3117 day H622 were gathered together H7218 the chief H1 of the fathers H5971 of all the people, H3548 the priests, H3881 and the Levites, H5830 unto Ezra H5608 the scribe, H7919 even to understand H1697 the words H8451 of the law.

14 H4672 And they found H3789 written H8451 in the law H3068 which the Lord H6680 had commanded H3027 by H4872 Moses, H1121 that the sons H3478 of Israel H3427 should live H5521 in shelters H2282 in the feast H7637 of the seventh H2320 month:

15 H8085 And that they should publish H5674 and proclaim H5892 in all their cities, H3389 and in Jerusalem, H559 saying, H3318 Go forth H2022 unto the mountain, H935 and fetch H2132 olive H5929 branches, H8081 and pine H6086 branches, H1918 and myrtle H5929 branches, H8558 and palm H5929 branches, H5929 and branches H5687 of thick H6086 trees, H6213 to make H5521 shelters, H3789 as it is written.

16 H5971 So the people H3318 went forth, H935 and brought H6213 them, and made H5521 themselves shelters, H376 every one H1406 upon the roof of his house, H2691 and in their courts, H2691 and in the courts H1004 of the house H430 of God, H7339 and in the street H4325 of the water H8179 gate, H7339 and in the street H8179 of the gate H669 of Ephraim.

17 H6951 And all the congregation H7725 of them that were come again H7628 out of the captivity H6213 made H5521 shelters, H3427 and sat H5521 under the shelters: H3117 for since the days H3442 of Jeshua H1121 the son H5126 of Nun H3117 unto that day H1121 had not the sons H3478 of Israel H6213 done so. H3966 And there was very H1419 great H8057 gladness.

18 H3117 Also day H3117 by day, H7223 from the first H3117 day H314 unto the last H3117 day, H7121 he read H5612 in the book H8451 of the law H430 of God. H6213 And they kept H2282 the feast H7651 seven H3117 days; H8066 and on the eighth H3117 day H6116 was a solemn assembly, H4941 according unto the manner.

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the plaza that was before the water gate, and they spoke unto Ezra, the scribe, to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel. ² And Ezra, the priest, brought the law before the congregation, both of men and women and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month. ³ And he read in the book before the plaza that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law. ⁴ And Ezra, the scribe, stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Urijah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchiah, Hashum, Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam. ⁵ And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people (for he was above all the people), and when he opened it, all the people stood up: ⁶ and Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, lifting up their hands; and they humbled themselves and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground. ⁷ And Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, and Pelaiah, Levites, caused the people to be silent that they might understand the law; and the people were in their place. ⁸ So they read in the book in the law of God clearly and paid attention, and understood the reading. ⁹ ¶ And Nehemiah, the Tirshatha, and Ezra, the priest and scribe, and the Levites that caused the people to be attentive, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; do not mourn nor weep. For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law. ¹⁰ Then he said unto them, Go, eat the fat, and drink sweet wine, and send portions unto those who have nothing prepared; for this day is holy unto our Lord, and not sad; for the joy of the LORD is your strength. ¹¹ So the Levites caused all the people to be silent, saying, Be silent, for the day is holy; neither be ye sad. ¹² And all the people went to eat and to drink and to send portions and to rejoice with great joy because they had understood the words that were taught unto them. ¹³ ¶ And on the next day the princes of the families of all the people, the priests, and the Levites were gathered together unto Ezra, the scribe, to understand the words of the law. ¹⁴ And they found written in the law, which the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the sons of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month ¹⁵ and that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount and bring olive branches and pine branches and myrtle branches and palm branches and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written. ¹⁶ So the people went forth and brought them and made themselves booths, each one upon the roof of his house and in their courts and in the courts of the house of God and in the plaza of the water gate and in the plaza of the gate of Ephraim. ¹⁷ And all the congregation of those that returned out of the captivity made booths and dwelt in the booths, for since the days of Jeshua, the son of Nun, unto that day, the sons of Israel had not done so. And there was very great joy. ¹⁸ And Ezra read in the book of the law of God each day, from the first day unto the last day. And they kept the feast seven days, and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the ordinance.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ 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 Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Law of Moses, which the Lord commanded Israel. ² So Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and everyone who had understanding was present to hear, on the first day of the seventh month. ³ And he read in it from sunrise until midday, 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 And Ezra the scribe stood on a wooden stage, and there stood next to him Mattithiah, Shema, Hanani, Urijah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and at his left stood Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam. ⁵ And Ezra 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 And Ezra 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 And Jeshua, Bani and Sherebiah instructed the people in the law, and the people stood in their place. ⁸ And they read in the Book of the Law of God, and Ezra taught, and instructed them distinctly in the knowledge of the Lord, and the people understood from the reading. ⁹ And Nehemiah and Ezra 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 And the governor said to them, Go, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions to them that have nothing; for this day is holy to our Lord: and faint not, for the Lord is our strength. ¹¹ And the Levites caused all the people to be silent, saying, Be silent, for it is a holy day, and do not be grieved. ¹² So all the people departed to eat and drink, to send portions and rejoice greatly, for they understood the words which he made known to them. ¹³ And on the second day the heads of families assembled with all the people, also the priests and Levites, to Ezra the scribe, to attend to all the words of the Law. 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, ¹⁵ and that they should sound with trumpets in all their cities, and in Jerusalem. And Ezra said, Go forth to the mountain, and bring olive branches, 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 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 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 Joshua the son of Nun until that day. And there was great joy. ¹⁸ And Ezra 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 was a solemn assembly, according to the ordinance.

LXX2012⁽ⁱ⁾ 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. ⁷ And Jesus and Banaias and Sarabias instructed the people in the law, and the people [stood] in their place. 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. 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. 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. ¹¹ And the Levites caused all the people to be silent, saying, Be silent, for [it is] a holy day, and despond not. 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. 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. 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: 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. 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. 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. 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.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ When the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their towns. All the people came together like one man into the wide place in front of the Water Gate. They requested Ezra the scribe that he would bring them the book of the Law of Moses that Jehovah gave to Israel. ² Ezra the priest brought the law to the meeting of the people. They were all able to listen to it. It was the first day of the seventh month. ³ He read it in the wide place in front of the Water Gate from early morning till the middle of the day. Everyone who could understand it, men and women alike were able to listen to it. All the people got to hear the Book of the Law. ⁴ Ezra the scribe took his place on a tower (podium) of wood that they had made for the purpose. By his side were placed Mattithiah and Shema and Anaiah and Uriah and Hilkiah and Maaseiah on the right; and on the left, Pedaiah and Mishael and Malchijah and Hashum and Hashbaddanah, Zechariah and Meshullam. ⁵ Ezra took the book and opened it before the eyes of all the people for he was higher than the people. When it was open, all the people stood on their feet. ⁶ Ezra praised Jehovah, the great God. And all the people said: »Amen!« With lifted hands and bent heads they worshiped Jehovah. They dropped to their faces on the earth. ⁷ And Jeshua and Bani and Sherebiah and Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites made the law clear to the people: and the people kept in their places. ⁸ They read from the book the Law of God making it clear (translating it), so that their minds were able to take it in. ⁹ Nehemiah, who was the Tirshatha (Governor), and Ezra, the priest and scribe, and the Levites who were the teachers of the people, said to all the people: »This day is holy to Jehovah your God. Let there be no sorrow or weeping.« For all the people were weeping on hearing the words of the law. ¹⁰ He said to them: »Go away now, and take the fat for your food and the sweet for your drink, and send some to him for whom nothing is made ready. This day is holy to our Lord. Let there be no grief in your hearts. The joy of Jehovah is your strong place.« ¹¹ So the Levites made all the people quiet, saying: »Be quiet, for the day is holy; and do not give way to grief.« ¹² All the people went away to take food and drink, and to send food to others, and to be glad, because the words that were said to them had been clearly communicated. ¹³ The second day the heads of families of all the people and the priests and the Levites came together to Ezra the scribe, to give attention to the words of the law. ¹⁴ They saw that it was recorded in the law that Jehovah gave orders by Moses, that the children of Israel were to have tents for their living-places in the feast of the seventh month: ¹⁵ They were to give an order, and make it public in all their towns and in Jerusalem, saying: Go out to the mountain and get olive branches and branches of field olives (oil trees) and of myrtle, and palm branches and branches of thick trees, to make tents, as it says in the book. ¹⁶ The people went out and got them and made themselves tents. Every one on the roof of his house, and in the open spaces and in the open squares of the House of God, and in the wide place of the Water Gate, and the wide place of the Gate of Ephraim. ¹⁷ All the people who had been prisoners and had come back, made tents and were living in them. From the time of Jeshua, the son of Nun, till that day, the children of Israel had not done so. There was very great joy! ¹⁸ Day by day, from the first day till the last, he read from the book of the Law of God. They kept the feast for seven days: and on the eighth day there was a holy meeting, as it is ordered in the law.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ All the people gathered as a united body into the plaza in front of the Water Gate. They asked Ezra the scribe to bring out the Book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded for Israel. ² So on the first day of the seventh month, Ezra the priest brought out the Law before the assembled people. Both men and women were in attendance, as well as all who could understand what they were hearing.
³ Ezra read from it, facing the plaza in front of the Water Gate, from early in the morning until mid-day in the presence of the men and women, as well as all who could understand. All the people were attentive to the Book of the Law. ⁴ Ezra the scribe stood on a wooden rostrum erected for that purpose. Beside him to his right stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maasseiah. Beside him to his left stood Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam.
⁵ Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people. Because he was visible above all the people there, as he opened it, all the people stood up. ⁶ Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God, and with uplifted hands, all the people responded, “Amen! Amen!” They bowed down and worshipped the LORD prostrate on the ground.
⁷ Furthermore, Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the descendants of Levi taught the Law to the people while the people remained standing. ⁸ They read from the Book of the Law of God, distinctly communicating its meaning, so they could understand the reading.
⁹ A Declaration to RejoiceBecause all the people were weeping as they listened to the words of the Law, Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the descendants of Levi who taught the people told everyone, “This day is holy to the LORD your God. Do not mourn or weep.” ¹⁰ He also told them, “Go eat the best food, drink the best wine, and give something to those who have nothing, since this day is holy to our Lord. Don’t be sorrowful, because the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
¹¹ The descendants of Levi also calmed all the people by saying, “Be still, for the day is holy. Don’t be sorrowful!”
¹² So all the people went to eat, to drink, to send something to those who had nothing, and to celebrate with great joy, because they understood the words that were being declared to them.
¹³ The Festival of Tents is Reinstituted
The next day, the heads of the families of all the people were gathered together, along with the priests and the descendants of Levi, to meet with Ezra the scribe in order to understand the words of the Law. ¹⁴ They found written in the Law that the LORD had commanded through Moses that the Israelis were to live in tents during the festival scheduled for the seventh month. ¹⁵ So they circulated a proclamation throughout their towns and in Jerusalem. It said, “Go out to the hill country and bring back olive branches, wild olive branches, myrtle branches, palm branches, and branches of mature trees, in order to set up tents, as has been written.”
¹⁶ Then the people went out and found branches to make tents for themselves on the roofs of their houses, in their courtyards, and in the courts of God’s Temple, in the plaza near the Water Gate, and in the plaza near the Gate of Ephraim. ¹⁷ The entire assembly of those who had returned from exile erected tents and lived in them. Indeed, from the days of Nun’s son Joshua until that day the Israelis had not done so. Joy was everywhere, ¹⁸ and Ezra continued to read from the Book of the Law of God day by day, from the first day through the last. They celebrated for seven days, and on the eighth day they held a solemn assembly according to regulation.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ All of the people gathered as one to the public square before the Water Gate. They asked Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law* of Moses that Yahweh had commanded Israel. ² So Ezra the priest brought the law* before the assembly for each man and woman to hear with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month. ³ He read from it facing the public square before the Water Gate from dawn until noon that day, opposite the men, women, and those with understanding. The ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law.* ⁴ Then Ezra the scribe stood on a wooden podium that had been made for the occasion. And beside him stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah on his right. On his left was Pedaiah, Mishael, Malkijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam. ⁵ Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, because he was above all of the people. When he opened it all the people stood up. ⁶ Then Ezra blessed Yahweh the great God, and all of the people answered, "Amen! Amen!" while lifting their hands. Then they bowed down and worshiped Yahweh with their noses to the ground. ⁷ And Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites were teaching the people from the law* while the people were in their places. ⁸ So they read the book from the law* of God, making it clear and giving the meaning so that they could understand the reading. ⁹ Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all of the people, "This day is holy to Yahweh your God. Do not mourn nor weep." For all of the people wept when they heard the words of the law.* ¹⁰ Then he said to them, "Go, eat festive food and drink sweet drinks, and send a share to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our lord. Do not be grieved because the joy of Yahweh is your refuge." ¹¹ So the Levites silenced all of the people, saying, "Silence, for this day is holy. Do not be grieved." ¹² All of the people went to eat, to drink, to send a share, and to have great joy because they understood the words that they had made known to them. ¹³ On the second day the heads of the _⌊families_⌋* of all the people, the priests, and the Levites gathered together to Ezra the scribe to study the words of the law.* ¹⁴ They found written in the law,* which Yahweh had commanded by the hand of Moses, that the _⌊Israelites_⌋* should live in booths during the festival of the seventh month, ¹⁵ and that they should proclaim and give voice in all of their cities in Jerusalem, saying, "Go out to the hill and bring olive tree branches, olive oil wood branches, myrtle shrub branches, palm tree branches, and other leafy tree branches to make booths, as it is written." ¹⁶ So the people went out and brought them and made booths for themselves, each on his roof, in their courtyards, in the courtyards of the house of God, in the public square of the Water Gate, and in the public square of the Gate of Ephraim. ¹⁷ And all of the assembly of those who returned from captivity made booths and lived in the booths because the _⌊Israelites_⌋* had not done it from the days of Jeshua son of Nun until that day. And there was very great joy. ¹⁸ And he read from the scroll of the law* of God day by day from the first day up to the last day. They celebrated the festival for seven days, and on the eighth day there was an assembly according to the rule.

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ At that time all the people gathered together in the square before the Water Gate, and they asked Ezra the scribe to bring out the Book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded for Israel. ² On the first day of the seventh month, Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly of men and women and all who could listen and understand. ³ So Ezra read it aloud from daybreak until noon as he faced the square before the Water Gate, in front of the men and women and those who could understand. And all the people listened attentively to the Book of the Law. ⁴ Ezra the scribe stood on a high wooden platform built for this occasion. At his right side stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, and at his left were Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hash-baddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam. ⁵ Ezra opened the book in full view of all the people, since he was standing above them all, and as he opened it, all the people stood up. ⁶ Then Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God, and with their hands uplifted, all the people said, “Amen, Amen!” Then they bowed down and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground. ⁷ The Levites—Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, and Pelaiah—instructed the people in the Law as they stood in their places. ⁸ So they read from the Book of the Law of God, explaining it and giving insight, so that the people could understand what was being read. ⁹ Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who were instructing the people said to all of them, “This day is holy to the LORD your God. Do not mourn or weep.” For all the people were weeping as they heard the words of the Law. ¹⁰ Then Nehemiah told them, “Go and eat what is rich, drink what is sweet, and send out portions to those who have nothing prepared, since today is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” ¹¹ And the Levites calmed all the people, saying, “Be still, since today is holy. Do not grieve.” ¹² Then all the people began to eat and drink, to send out portions, and to rejoice greatly, because they understood the words that had been made known to them. ¹³ On the second day of the month, the heads of all the families, along with the priests and Levites, gathered around Ezra the scribe to study the words of the Law. ¹⁴ And they found written in the Law, which the LORD had commanded through Moses, that the Israelites were to dwell in booths during the feast of the seventh month. ¹⁵ So they proclaimed this message and spread it throughout their towns and in Jerusalem, saying, “Go out to the hill country and bring back branches of olive, wild olive, myrtle, palm, and other leafy trees, to make booths, as it is written.” ¹⁶ And the people went out, brought back branches, and made booths on their own rooftops, in their courtyards, in the court of the house of God, and in the squares by the Water Gate and by the Gate of Ephraim. ¹⁷ The whole assembly who had returned from exile made booths and lived in them. From the days of Joshua son of Nun until that day, the Israelites had not celebrated like this. And there was great rejoicing. ¹⁸ Day after day, from the first day to the last, Ezra read from the Book of the Law of God. The Israelites kept the feast for seven days, and on the eighth day they held an assembly, according to the ordinance.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the broad place that was before the water gate. And they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which Jehovah had commanded to Israel.
² And Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly, both men and women and all who could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month. ³ And he read in it before the broad place that was before the water gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women and of those who could understand. And the ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law. ⁴ And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose. And beside him stood Mattithiah and Shema and Anaiah and Uriah and Hilkiah and Maaseiah, on his right hand and on his left hand, Pedaiah and Mishael and Malchijah and Hashum and Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam. ⁵ And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people (for he was above all the people) and when he opened it, all the people stood up.
⁶ And Ezra blessed Jehovah, the great God. And all the people answered, Truly, Truly, with the lifting up of their hands. And they bowed their heads and worshiped Jehovah with their faces to the ground. ⁷ Also Jeshua and Bani and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law. And the people stood in their place. ⁸ And they read in the book, in the law of God, distinctly and they gave the sense, so that they understood the reading.
⁹ And Nehemiah, who was the governor and Ezra the priest the scribe and the Levites who taught the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to Jehovah your* God; do not mourn nor weep. For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law.
¹⁰ Then he said to them, Go your* way, eat fat things and drink sweet things and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared. For this day is holy to our Lord; neither be you* grieved, for the joy of Jehovah is your* strength.
¹¹ So the Levites quieted all the people, saying, Be silent, for the day is holy, neither be you* grieved. ¹² And all the people went their way to eat and to drink and to send portions and to make great gladness, because they had understood the words that were declared to them.
¹³ And on the second day were gathered together the heads of fathers of all the people, the priests and the Levites, to Ezra the scribe, even to give attention to the words of the law. ¹⁴ And they found written in the law how that Jehovah had commanded by Moses that the sons of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month, ¹⁵ and that they should proclaim and proclaim in all their cities and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth to the mountain and fetch olive branches and branches of wild olive and myrtle branches and palm branches and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.
¹⁶ So the people went forth and brought them and made themselves booths, each one upon the roof of his house 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. ¹⁷ And all the assembly of those who came again out of the captivity made booths and dwelt in the booths, for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun to that day the sons of Israel had not done so. And there was very great gladness.
¹⁸ Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly according to the ordinance.

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And all the people gathered as one man into the plaza before the Water Gate. And they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel. ² So on the first day of the seventh month, Ezra the priest brought out the Law before the assembled people. Both men and women were in attendance, as well as all who could understand what they were hearing. ³ Ezra read from it, facing the plaza in front of the Water Gate, from early in the morning until mid-day in the presence of the men and women, as well as all who could understand. All the people were attentive to the Book of the Law. ⁴ Ezra the scribe stood on a wooden rostrum erected for that purpose. Beside him to his right stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Masseiah. Beside him to his left stood Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam. ⁵ Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, because he was above all of the people. When he opened it all the people stood up. ⁶ Then Ezra blessed the LORD the great God, and all of the people answered, "Amen! Amen!" while lifting their hands. Then they bowed down and worshiped the LORD with their noses to the ground. ⁷ Furthermore, Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites taught the Law to the people while the people remained standing. ⁸ So they read the book from the law of God, making it clear and giving the meaning so that they could understand the reading. ⁹ And Nehemiah, the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to the LORD your God. Do not mourn or weep. For all the people wept when they heard the words of the Law. ¹⁰ Then he said unto them, Go, eat the fat, and drink sweet wine, and send portions unto those who have nothing prepared; for this day is holy unto our Lord, and not sad; for the joy of the LORD is your strength. ¹¹ And the Levites quieted all the people, saying, Be still! for the day is holy; neither be grieved. ¹² And all the people went to eat and to drink and to send portions and to rejoice with great joy because they had understood the words that were taught unto them. ¹³ The second day the heads of families of all the people and the priests and the Levites came together to Ezra the scribe, to give attention to the words of the law. ¹⁴ They found written in the Law that the LORD had commanded through Moses that the Israelites were to live in tents during the feast scheduled for the seventh month. ¹⁵ and that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount and bring olive branches and pine branches and myrtle branches and palm branches and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written. ¹⁶ And the people went out and brought in, and made themselves booths, each one upon his roof, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the Water Gate, and in the street of the Gate of Ephraim. ¹⁷ The entire assembly of those who had returned from exile erected tents and lived in them. Indeed, from the days of Nun's son Joshua until that day the Israelites had not done so. Joy was everywhere, ¹⁸ Day by day, from the first day till the last, he read from the book of the Law of God. They kept the feast for seven days: and on the eighth day there was a holy meeting, as it is ordered in the law.

1 H5060 Da nun herzukam H7637 der siebente H2320 Monat H1121 und die Kinder H3478 Israel H5892 in ihren Städten H622 waren, versammelte H5971 sich das ganze Volk H259 wie ein H376 Mann H7339 auf die breite Gasse H6440 vor H4325 H8179 dem Wassertor H559 und sprachen H5830 zu Esra H5608 , dem Schriftgelehrten H5612 , daß er das Buch H8451 des Gesetzes H4872 Mose’s H935 holte H3068 , das der HERR H3478 Israel H6680 geboten hat.

2 H5830 Und Esra H3548 , der Priester H935 , brachte H8451 das Gesetz H6440 vor H6951 die Gemeinde H376 , Männer H802 und Weiber H995 H8085 und alle, die es vernehmen H259 konnten, am ersten H3117 Tage H7637 des siebenten H2320 Monats

3 H7121 und las H6440 daraus H7339 auf der breiten Gasse H6440 , die vor H4325 H8179 dem Wassertor H216 ist, vom lichten Morgen H4276 H3117 an bis auf den Mittag H582 , vor Mann H802 und Weib H995 und wer’s vernehmen H5971 konnte. Und des ganzen Volks H241 Ohren H5612 H8451 waren zu dem Gesetzbuch gekehrt.

4 H5830 Und Esra H5608 , der Schriftgelehrte H5975 , stand H6086 auf einem hölzernen H4026 , hohen Stuhl H6213 , den sie gemacht H1697 hatten, zu predigen H5975 , und standen H681 neben H4993 ihm Matthithja H8087 , Sema H6043 , Anaja H223 , Uria H2518 , Hilkia H4641 und Maaseja H3225 , zu seiner Rechten H8040 , aber zu seiner Linken H6305 Pedaja H4332 , Misael H4441 , Malchia H2828 , Hasum H2806 , Hasbaddana H2148 , Sacharja H4918 und Mesullam .

5 H5830 Und Esra H6605 tat H5612 das Buch H6605 auf H5869 vor H5971 dem ganzen Volk H5971 ; denn er ragte über alles Volk H6605 ; und da er’s auftat H5975 , stand H5971 alles Volk .

6 H5830 Und Esra H1288 lobte H3068 den HERRN H1419 , den großen H430 Gott H5971 . Und alles Volk H6030 antwortete H543 : Amen H543 , amen H3027 ! mit ihren Händen H4607 empor H6915 und neigten H7812 sich und beteten H3068 den HERRN H639 an mit dem Antlitz H776 zur Erde .

7 H3442 Und Jesua H1137 , Bani H8274 , Serebja H3226 , Jamin H6126 , Akkub H7678 , Sabthai H1941 , Hodia H4641 , Maaseja H7042 , Kelita H5838 , Asarja H3107 , Josabad H2605 , Hanan H6411 , Pelaja H3881 und die Leviten H5971 machten H5971 , daß das Volk H8451 aufs Gesetz H995 merkte H5971 ; und das Volk H5977 stand auf seiner Stätte .

8 H7121 Und sie lasen H8451 H5612 im Gesetzbuch H430 Gottes H6567 klar H7922 H7760 und verständlich H995 , daß man verstand H4744 , was gelesen ward.

9 H5166 Und Nehemia H8660 , der da ist der Landpfleger H5830 , und Esra H3548 , der Priester H5608 , der Schriftgelehrte H3881 , und die Leviten H5971 , die alles Volk H995 aufmerken H559 machten, sprachen H5971 zu allem Volk H3117 : Dieser Tag H6918 ist heilig H3068 dem HERRN H430 , eurem Gott H56 ; darum seid nicht traurig H1058 und weinet H5971 nicht! Denn alles Volk H1058 weinte H1697 , da sie die Worte H8451 des Gesetzes H8085 hörten .

10 H559 Darum sprach H3212 er zu ihnen: Gehet H398 hin und esset H4924 das Fette H8354 und trinket H4477 das Süße H7971 und sendet H4490 denen auch Teile H3559 , die nichts für sich bereitet H3117 haben; denn dieser Tag H6918 ist heilig H113 unserm HERRN H6087 . Und bekümmert H2304 euch nicht; denn die Freude H3068 am HERRN H4581 ist eure Stärke .

11 H3881 Und die Leviten H2814 stillten H5971 alles Volk H559 und sprachen H2013 : Seid still H3117 , denn der Tag H6918 ist heilig H6087 ; bekümmert euch nicht!

12 H5971 Und alles Volk H3212 ging H398 hin, daß es äße H8354 , tränke H4490 und Teile H7971 sendete H1419 und eine große H8057 Freude H6213 machte H1697 ; denn sie hatten die Worte H995 verstanden H3045 , die man ihnen hatte kundgetan .

13 H8145 Und des andern H3117 Tages H622 versammelten H7218 sich die Obersten H1 der Vaterhäuser H5971 unter dem ganzen Volk H3548 und die Priester H3881 und Leviten H5830 zu Esra H5608 , dem Schriftgelehrten H1697 , daß er sie in den Worten H8451 des Gesetzes H7919 unterrichtete .

14 H4672 Und sie fanden H3789 geschrieben H8451 im Gesetz H3068 , das der HERR H3027 durch H4872 Mose H6680 geboten H1121 hatte, daß die Kinder H3478 Israel H5521 in Laubhütten H3427 wohnen H2282 sollten am Fest H7637 im siebenten H2320 Monat

15 H8085 und sollten’s lassen laut H6963 H5674 werden und ausrufen H5892 in allen ihren Städten H3389 und zu Jerusalem H559 und sagen H3318 : Gehet hinaus H2022 auf die Berge H935 und holet H2132 H5929 Ölzweige H6086 H8081 H5929 , Balsamzweige H1918 H5929 , Myrtenzweige H8558 H5929 , Palmenzweige H5929 und Zweige H5687 von dichten H6086 Bäumen H5521 , daß man Laubhütten H6213 mache H3789 , wie es geschrieben steht.

16 H5971 Und das Volk H3318 ging hinaus H935 und holten H6213 und machten H5521 sich Laubhütten H376 , ein jeglicher H1406 auf seinem Dach H2691 und in ihren Höfen H2691 und in den Höfen H1004 am Hause H430 Gottes H7339 und auf der breiten Gasse H4325 H8179 am Wassertor H7339 und auf der breiten Gasse H8179 am Tor H669 Ephraim .

17 H6951 Und die ganze Gemeinde H7628 derer, die aus der Gefangenschaft H7725 waren wiedergekommen H6213 , machten H5521 Laubhütten H5521 H3427 und wohnten H1121 darin.

En men las in het wetboek Gods dag bij dag, van den eersten dag tot den laatsten dag. En zij hielden het feest zeven dagen, en op den achtsten dag den verbodsdag, naar het recht.

2 H5830 [08:3] En Ezra H3548 , de priester H935 H8686 , bracht H8451 de wet H6440 voor H6951 de gemeente H4480 , beiden H376 mannen H5704 en H802 vrouwen H3605 , en allen H995 H8688 , die verstandig waren H8085 H8800 om te horen H259 , op den eersten H3117 dag H7637 der zevende H2320 maand.

3 H7121 H8799 [08:4] En hij las H6440 daarin voor H7339 de straat H834 , die H6440 voor H4325 H8179 de Waterpoort H4480 is, van H216 het [morgen] licht H5704 aan tot op H4276 H3117 den middag H5048 , voor H582 de mannen H802 en vrouwen H995 H8688 , en de verstandigen H241 ; en de oren H3605 des gansen H5971 volks H413 waren naar H5612 H8451 het wetboek.

4 H5830 [08:5] En Ezra H5608 H8802 , de schriftgeleerde H5975 H8799 , stond H5921 op H6086 een hogen houten H4026 stoel H834 , dien H1697 zij tot die zaak H6213 H8804 gemaakt hadden H681 , en nevens H5975 H8799 hem stond H4993 Mattithja H8087 , en Sema H6043 , en Anaja H223 , en Uria H2518 , en Hilkia H4641 , en Maaseja H5921 , aan H3225 zijn rechterhand H4480 ; en aan H8040 zijn linkerhand H6305 Pedaja H4332 , en Misael H4441 , en Malchia H2828 , en Hasum H2806 , en Hasbaddana H2148 , Zacharja H4918 [en] Mesullam.

5 H5830 [08:6] En Ezra H6605 H8799 opende H5612 het boek H5869 voor de ogen H3605 des gansen H5971 volks H3588 , want H1961 H8804 hij was H4480 H5921 boven H3605 al H5971 het volk H6605 H8800 ; en als hij het opende H5975 H8804 , stond H3605 al H5971 het volk.

6 H5830 [08:7] En Ezra H1288 H8762 loofde H3068 den HEERE H1419 , den groten H430 God H3605 ; en al H5971 het volk H6030 H8799 antwoordde H543 : Amen H543 , amen H4607 ! met opheffing H3027 hunner handen H6915 H8799 , en neigden zich H7812 H8691 , en aanbaden H3068 den HEERE H639 , met de aangezichten H776 ter aarde.

7 H3442 [08:8] Jesua H1137 nu, en Bani H8274 , en Serebja H3226 , Jamin H6126 , Akkub H7678 , Sabbethai H1941 , Hodia H4641 , Maaseja H7042 , Kelita H5838 , Azaria H3107 , Jozabad H2605 , Hanan H6411 , Pelaja H3881 , en de Levieten H995 H8688 onderwezen H5971 het volk H8451 in de wet H5971 . En het volk H5921 stond op H5977 zijn standplaats.

8 H7121 H8799 [08:9] En zij lazen H5612 in het boek H8451 , in de wet H430 Gods H6567 H8794 , duidelijk H7922 ; en den zin H7760 H8800 verklarende H995 H8799 , zo maakten zij, dat men het verstond H4744 in het lezen.

9 H5166 [08:10] En Nehemia H1931 (dezelve H8660 is Hattirsatha H5830 ) en Ezra H3548 , de priester H5608 H8802 , de schriftgeleerde H3881 , en de Levieten H5971 , die het volk H995 H8688 onderwezen H559 H8799 , zeiden H3605 tot al H5971 het volk H1931 : Deze H3117 dag H3068 is den HEERE H430 , uw God H6918 , heilig H408 ; bedrijft [dan] geen H56 H8691 rouw H1058 H8799 , en weent H408 niet H3588 ; want H3605 al H5971 het volk H1058 H8802 weende H1697 , als zij de woorden H8451 der wet H8085 H8800 hoorden.

10 H559 H8799 [08:11] Voorts zeide hij H3212 H8798 tot hen: Gaat H398 H8798 , eet H4924 het vette H8354 H8798 , en drinkt H4477 het zoete H7971 H8798 , en zendt H4490 delen H369 H0 dengenen, voor welken niets H3559 H8737 bereid H369 is H3588 , want H3117 deze dag H113 is onzen HEERE H6918 heilig H6087 H8735 ; zo bedroeft u H408 niet H3588 , want H2304 de blijdschap H3068 des HEEREN H1931 , die H4581 is uw sterkte.

11 H3881 [08:12] En de Levieten H2814 H8688 stilden H3605 al H5971 het volk H559 H8800 , zeggende H2013 H8761 : Zwijgt H3588 , want H3117 deze dag H6918 is heilig H6087 H8735 , daarom bedroeft u H408 niet.

12 H3212 H8799 [08:13] Toen ging H3605 al H5971 het volk H398 H8800 henen om te eten H8354 H8800 , en om te drinken H4490 , en om delen H7971 H8763 te zenden H1419 , en om grote H8057 blijdschap H6213 H8800 te maken H3588 ; want H1697 zij hadden de woorden H995 H8689 verstaan H834 , die H3045 H8689 men hun had bekend gemaakt.

13 H8145 [08:14] En des anderen H3117 daags H622 H8738 verzamelden zich H7218 de hoofden H1 der vaderen H3605 van het ganse H5971 volk H3548 , de priesters H3881 en de Levieten H5830 , tot Ezra H5608 H8802 , den schriftgeleerde H7919 H8687 , en dat, om verstand te bekomen H413 in H1697 de woorden H8451 der wet.

14 H4672 H8799 [08:15] En zij vonden H8451 in de wet H3789 H8803 geschreven H834 , dat H3068 de HEERE H3027 door de hand H4872 van Mozes H6680 H8765 geboden had H834 , dat H1121 de kinderen H3478 Israels H5521 in loofhutten H3427 H8799 zouden wonen H2282 , op het feest H7637 in de zevende H2320 maand;

15 H834 [08:16] En dat H8085 H8686 zij het zouden luidbaar maken H6963 , en een stem H5674 H8686 laten doorgaan H3605 door al H5892 hun steden H3389 , en te Jeruzalem H559 H8800 , zeggende H3318 H8798 : Gaat uit H2022 op het gebergte H935 H8685 , en haalt H5929 takken H2132 van olijfbomen H5929 , en takken H8081 van [andere] olieachtige H6086 bomen H5929 , en takken H1918 van mirtebomen H5929 , en takken H8558 van palmbomen H5929 , en takken H5687 van [andere] dichte H6086 bomen H5521 , om loofhutten H6213 H8800 te maken H3789 H8803 , als er geschreven is.

16 H3318 H0 [08:17] Alzo ging H5971 het volk H3318 H8799 uit H935 H8686 en haalden H6213 H8799 ze, en maakten H5521 zich loofhutten H376 , een iegelijk H5921 op H1406 zijn dak H2691 , en in hun voorhoven H2691 , en in de voorhoven H430 van Gods H1004 huis H7339 , en op de straat H4325 H8179 der Waterpoort H7339 , en op de straat H8179 H669 van Efraimspoort.

17 H3605 [08:18] En de ganse H6951 gemeente H4480 dergenen, die uit H7628 de gevangenis H7725 H8802 waren wedergekomen H6213 H8799 , maakten H5521 loofhutten H3427 H8799 , en woonden H5521 in die loofhutten H3588 ; want H1121 de kinderen H3478 Israels H3651 hadden alzo H3808 niet H6213 H8804 gedaan H4480 sinds H3117 de dagen H3442 van Jesua H1121 , den zoon H5126 van Nun H5704 , tot op H1931 dezen H3117 dag H1961 H8799 toe; en er was H3966 zeer H1419 grote H8057 blijdschap.

18 H7121 H8799 [08:19] En men las H5612 H8451 in het wetboek H430 Gods H3117 dag H3117 bij dag H4480 , van H7223 den eersten H3117 dag H5704 tot H314 den laatsten H3117 dag H6213 H8799 . En zij hielden H2282 het feest H7651 zeven H3117 dagen H8066 , en op den achtsten H3117 dag H6116 den verbodsdag H4941 , naar het recht.

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ Et le septième mois arriva, et les fils d’Israël étaient dans leurs villes; et tout le peuple se rassembla, comme un seul homme, sur la place, devant la porte de l’Eau; et ils dirent à Esdras le scribe d’apporter le livre de la loi de Moïse que le Seigneur a intimée à Israël. ² Et le premier jour du septième mois, Esdras, le prêtre, apporta la loi devant la multitude d’hommes et de femmes, et devant tous ceux qui pouvaient l’entendre. ³ Et il la lut depuis l’heure où le soleil éclaire jusqu’au milieu du jour, devant les hommes et les femmes, et ils la comprenaient, et les oreilles de tout le peuple étaient attentives au livre de la loi. ⁴ Et Esdras, le scribe, se tenait sur une estrade de bois, et il y avait auprès de lui, à sa droite: Matthathias, Sandias, Ananias, Urie, Helcias et Maasia; à sa gauche: Phadaïas, Misahel, Melchias, Asom, Asubadma, Zacharie et Mesollam. ⁵ Et Esdras ouvrit le livre à la vue de tout le peuple, car lui-même était plus élevé que le peuple, et lorsqu’il ouvrit le livre, tout le peuple resta debout. ⁶ Et Esdras bénit le Seigneur, le Dieu très-grand, et le peuple élevant les mains, répondit: Amen. Et ils s’inclinèrent, et ils adorèrent le Seigneur la face contre terre. ⁷ Ensuite, Josué, Banaias et Sarabias, expliquèrent la loi au peuple, et le peuple ne bougea pas de sa place. ⁸ Et ils lurent dans le livre de la loi de Dieu; puis, Esdras enseigna, et il apprit au peuple à connaître le Seigneur, et le peuple comprit à la lecture. ⁹ ¶ Alors, Néhémias et Esdras, le scribe et prêtre, et les lévites qui expliquaient la loi au peuple, dirent à tout le peuple: Ce jour est consacré au Seigneur notre Dieu, ne vous affligez pas, ne pleurez point. Car tout le peuple pleurait quand il entendait les paroles de la loi. ¹⁰ Et Néhémias leur dit: Allez, mangez des chairs grasses, buvez de douces boissons, et envoyez des parts à ceux qui n’en ont point, car ce jour est consacré au Seigneur notre Dieu, et ne soyez point abattus, puisque le Seigneur est notre force. ¹¹ Et les lévites faisaient taire tout le peuple, disant: Gardez le silence, car ce jour est saint, et ne soyez point abattus. ¹² Et tout le peuple s’en alla pour manger, boire, envoyer des parts et faire grande liesse, parce qu’il avait. compris les paroles que Néhémias leur avait fait connaître. ¹³ ¶ Et le second jour, les chefs de famille, tout le peuple, les prêtres et les lévites, se réunirent autour d’Esdras, le scribe, pour qu’il les instruisît sur toutes les paroles de la loi. ¹⁴ Et ils trouvèrent écrit en la loi que le Seigneur avait commandé à Moïse que les fils d’Israël demeurassent sous des tabernacles, durant la fête du septième mois, ¹⁵ Et qu’ils le publiassent au son de la trompette en toutes leurs villes et à Jérusalem. Et Esdras dit: Allez sur la montagne, rapportez-en des rameaux d’olivier, de cyprès, de tamaris, de palmier et de tous les arbres touffus, pour faire des tabernacles selon ce qui est écrit. ¹⁶ Et le peuple sortit, et il rapporta des rameaux, et ils se firent des tabernacles, chacun sur sa terrasse, ou dans sa cour, ou dans les parvis du temple du Seigneur, ou dans les rues de la ville jusqu’à la porte d’Ephraïm. ¹⁷ Et toute l’Église, tous ceux qui étaient revenus de la captivité se firent des tabernacles, et ils demeurèrent sous des tabernacles; et depuis le temps de Josué, fils de Nau, jusqu’à ce jour-là, le peuple d’Israël n’avait pas fait ainsi, et grande fut sa joie. ¹⁸ Et on lut dans le livre de la loi, tous les jours, depuis le premier jusqu’au dernier, et ils firent la fête sept jours, et le huitième jour la fin de la fête, selon la loi.

Et quand arriva le septième mois, les fils d'Israël étaient dans leurs villes. -Alors tout le peuple s'assembla comme un seul homme sur la place qui est devant la porte des eaux. Et ils dirent à Esdras, le scribe, d'apporter le livre de la loi de Moïse, que l'Éternel avait commandée à Israël. ² Et le premier jour du septième mois, Esdras, le sacrificateur, apporta la loi devant la congrégation des hommes et des femmes, et devant tous ceux qui avaient de l'intelligence pour entendre. ³ Et il y lut devant la place qui est devant la porte des eaux, depuis l'aube jusqu'à midi, en présence des hommes et des femmes, et de ceux qui avaient de l'intelligence. Et tout le peuple prêtait l'oreille au livre de la loi. ⁴ Et Esdras, le scribe, se tenait sur une estrade de bois qu'on avait faite pour l'occasion; et Matthithia, et Shéma, et Anaïa, et Urie, et Hilkija, et Maascéïa, se tenaient à côté de lui, à sa droite; et à sa gauche, Pedaïa, et Mishaël, et Malkija, et Hashum, et Hashbaddana, Zacharie, et Meshullam. ⁵ Et Esdras ouvrit le livre aux yeux de tout le peuple, car il était élevé au-dessus de tout le peuple; et quand il l'ouvrit, tout le peuple se tint debout. ⁶ Et Esdras bénit l'Éternel, le grand Dieu, et tout le peuple répondit: Amen, Amen! en élevant les mains, et ils s'inclinèrent et se prosternèrent devant l'Éternel, le visage contre terre. ⁷ Et Jéshua, et Bani, et Shérébia, Jamin, Akkub, Shabthaï, Hodija, Maascéïa, Kelita, Azaria, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaïa, et les lévites, faisaient comprendre la loi au peuple; et le peuple se tenait à sa place. ⁸ Et ils lisaient distinctement dans le livre de la loi de Dieu, et ils en donnaient le sens et le faisaient comprendre lorsqu'on lisait. ⁹
Et Néhémie, qui était le Thirshatha, et Esdras, le sacrificateur, le scribe, et les lévites qui faisaient comprendre au peuple ce qu'on lisait, dirent à tout le peuple: Ce jour est saint à l'Éternel, votre Dieu; ne menez pas deuil et ne pleurez pas! Car tout le peuple pleurait en entendant les paroles de la loi. ¹⁰ Et Néhémie leur dit: Allez, mangez de ce qui est gras et buvez de ce qui est doux, et envoyez des portions à ceux qui n'ont rien de préparé, car ce jour est saint, consacré à notre Seigneur. Et ne vous affligez pas, car la joie de l'Éternel est votre force. ¹¹ Et les lévites tranquillisèrent tout le peuple, en disant: Taisez-vous, car ce jour est saint, et ne vous affligez pas. ¹² Et tout le peuple s'en alla pour manger et pour boire, et pour envoyer des portions, et pour faire de grandes réjouissances; car ils avaient compris les paroles qu'on leur avait fait connaître. ¹³
Et le second jour, les chefs des pères de tout le peuple, les sacrificateurs et les lévites, s'assemblèrent auprès d'Esdras, le scribe, et cela pour devenir intelligents dans les paroles de la loi. ¹⁴ Et ils trouvèrent écrit dans la loi que l'Éternel avait commandée par Moïse, que les fils d'Israël devaient habiter dans des tabernacles pendant la fête du septième mois, ¹⁵ et qu'ils devaient faire entendre et faire passer une proclamation dans toutes leurs villes et à Jérusalem, disant: Sortez dans la montagne, et apportez des branches d'olivier, et des branches d'olivier sauvage, et des branches de myrte, et des branches de palmier, et des branches d'arbres touffus, pour faire des tabernacles, comme il est écrit. ¹⁶ Et le peuple sortit et en rapporta, et ils se firent des tabernacles, chacun sur son toit, et dans leurs cours, et dans les parvis de la maison de Dieu, et sur la place de la porte des eaux, et sur la place de la porte d'Éphraïm. ¹⁷ Et toute la congrégation de ceux qui étaient revenus de la captivité fit des tabernacles, et ils habitèrent dans les tabernacles; car les fils d'Israël n'avaient pas fait cela depuis les jours de Josué, fils de Nun, jusqu'à ce jour-là. Et il y eut une très-grande joie. ¹⁸ Et on lut dans le livre de la loi de Dieu chaque jour, depuis le premier jour jusqu'au dernier jour. Et ils célébrèrent la fête sept jours, et au huitième jour, il y eut une assemblée solennelle, selon l'ordonnance.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Or tout le peuple s'assembla, comme si ce n'eût été qu'un seul homme, en la place qui était devant la porte des eaux; et ils dirent à Esdras le Scribe qu'il apportât le Livre de la Loi de Moïse, laquelle l'Eternel avait ordonnée à Israël. ² Et ainsi le premier jour du septième mois Esdras le Sacrificateur apporta la Loi devant l'assemblée, composée d'hommes, et de femmes, et de tous ceux qui étaient capables d'entendre, afin qu'on l'écoutât. ³ Et il lut au Livre, dans la place qui était devant la porte des eaux, depuis l'aube du jour jusqu'à midi, en la présence des hommes, et des femmes, et de ceux qui étaient capables d'entendre; et les oreilles de tout le peuple étaient attentives à la lecture du Livre de la Loi. ⁴ Ainsi Esdras le Scribe se tint debout sur un lieu éminent bâti de bois, qu'on avait dressé pour cela; et il avait auprès de lui Mattitia, Sémah, Hanaja, Urija, Hilkija et Mahaséja, à sa main droite; et à sa gauche étaient Pédaja, Misaël, Malkija, Hasum, Hasbadduna, Zacharie, et Mésullam. ⁵ Et Esdras ouvrit le Livre devant tout le peuple; car il était au-dessus de tout le peuple; et sitôt qu'il l'eut ouvert, tout le peuple se tint debout. ⁶ Puis Esdras bénit l'Eternel, le grand Dieu; et tout le peuple répondit : Amen! Amen! En élevant leurs mains. Puis ils s'inclinèrent et se prosternèrent devant l'Eternel, le visage contre terre. ⁷ Aussi Jésuah, Bani, Sérebja, Jamin, Hakkub, Sabéthaï, Hodija, Mahaséja, Kélita, Hazaria, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaja, et les autres Lévites, faisaient comprendre la Loi au peuple, le peuple se tenant en sa place. ⁸ Et ils lisaient au Livre de la Loi de Dieu, ils l'expliquaient, et en donnaient l'intelligence, la faisant comprendre par l'Ecriture même. ⁹ Or Néhémie, qui est Attirsatha, et Esdras Sacrificateur et Scribe, et les Lévites qui instruisaient le peuple dirent à tout le peuple; ce jour est saint à l'Eternel notre Dieu, ne menez point de deuil, et ne pleurez point; car tout le peuple pleura dès qu'il eut entendu les paroles de la Loi. ¹⁰ Puis on leur dit : Allez, mangez du plus gras, et buvez du plus doux; et envoyez-en des portions à ceux qui n'ont rien de prêt; car ce jour est saint à notre Seigneur : ne soyez donc point tristes, puisque la joie de l'Eternel est votre force. ¹¹ Et les Lévites faisaient faire silence parmi tout le peuple, en disant : Faites silence, car ce jour est saint, et ne vous attristez point. ¹² Ainsi tout le peuple s'en alla pour manger et pour boire, et pour envoyer des présents, et pour faire une grande réjouissance, parce qu'ils avaient bien compris les paroles qu'on leur avait enseignées. ¹³ Et le second jour du mois, les Chefs des pères de tout le peuple, les Sacrificateurs, et les Lévites, s'assemblèrent vers Esdras le Scribe, pour avoir l'intelligence des paroles de la Loi. ¹⁴ Ils trouvèrent donc écrit en la Loi que l'Eternel avait ordonnée par le moyen de Moïse, que les enfants d'Israël demeurassent dans des tabernacles pendant la fête solennelle au septième mois. ¹⁵ Ce qu'ils firent savoir et qu'ils publièrent par toutes leurs villes, et à Jérusalem, en disant : Allez sur la montagne, et apportez des rameaux d'oliviers, et des rameaux d'autres arbres huileux, des rameaux de myrte, des rameaux de palmier, et des rameaux de bois branchus, afin de faire des tabernacles, selon ce qui est écrit. ¹⁶ Le peuple donc alla sur la montagne, et ils apportèrent des rameaux, et se firent des tabernacles, chacun sur son toit, et dans les cours de leurs maisons, et dans les parvis de la maison de Dieu, et à la place de la porte des eaux, et à la place de la porte d'Ephraïm. ¹⁷ Et ainsi toute l'assemblée de ceux qui étaient retournés de la captivité fit des tabernacles, et ils se tinrent dans les tabernacles. Or les enfants d'Israël n'en avaient point fait de tels, depuis les jours de Josué fils de Nun, jusqu'à ce jour-là; et il y eut une fort grande joie. ¹⁸ Et on lut au Livre de la Loi de Dieu chaque jour, depuis le premier jour jusqu'au dernier. Ainsi on célébra la fête solennelle pendant sept jours, et il y eut une assemblée solennelle au huitième jour, comme il était ordonné.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Alors tout le peuple s'assembla comme un seul homme sur la place qui est devant la porte des eaux. Ils dirent à Esdras, le scribe, d'apporter le livre de la loi de Moïse, prescrite par l'Eternel à Israël. ² Et le sacrificateur Esdras apporta la loi devant l'assemblée, composée d'hommes et de femmes et de tous ceux qui étaient capables de l'entendre. C'était le premier jour du septième mois. ³ Esdras lut dans le livre depuis le matin jusqu'au milieu du jour, sur la place qui est devant la porte des eaux, en présence des hommes et des femmes et de ceux qui étaient capables de l'entendre. Tout le peuple fut attentif à la lecture du livre de la loi. ⁴ Esdras, le scribe, était placé sur une estrade de bois, dressée à cette occasion. Auprès de lui, à sa droite, se tenaient Matthithia, Schéma, Anaja, Urie, Hilkija et Maaséja, et à sa gauche, Pedaja, Mischaël, Malkija, Haschum, Haschbaddana, Zacharie et Meschullam. ⁵ Esdras ouvrit le livre à la vue de tout le peuple, car il était élevé au-dessus de tout le peuple; et lorsqu'il l'eut ouvert, tout le peuple se tint en place. ⁶ Esdras bénit l'Eternel, le grand Dieu, et tout le peuple répondit, en levant les mains: Amen! amen! Et ils s'inclinèrent et se prosternèrent devant l'Eternel, le visage contre terre. ⁷ Josué, Bani, Schérébia, Jamin, Akkub, Schabbethaï, Hodija, Maaséja, Kelitha, Azaria, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaja, et les Lévites, expliquaient la loi au peuple, et chacun restait à sa place. ⁸ Ils lisaient distinctement dans le livre de la loi de Dieu, et ils en donnaient le sens pour faire comprendre ce qu'ils avaient lu. ⁹ Néhémie, le gouverneur, Esdras, le sacrificateur et le scribe, et les Lévites qui enseignaient le peuple, dirent à tout le peuple: Ce jour est consacré à l'Eternel, votre Dieu; ne soyez pas dans la désolation et dans les larmes! Car tout le peuple pleurait en entendant les paroles de la loi. ¹⁰ Ils leur dirent: Allez, mangez des viandes grasses et buvez des liqueurs douces, et envoyez des portions à ceux qui n'ont rien de préparé, car ce jour est consacré à notre Seigneur; ne vous affligez pas, car la joie de l'Eternel sera votre force. ¹¹ Les Lévites calmaient tout le peuple, en disant: Taisez-vous, car ce jour est saint; ne vous affligez pas! ¹² Et tout le peuple s'en alla pour manger et boire, pour envoyer des portions, et pour se livrer à de grandes réjouissances. Car ils avaient compris les paroles qu'on leur avait expliquées. ¹³ Le second jour, les chefs de famille de tout le peuple, les sacrificateurs et les Lévites, s'assemblèrent auprès d'Esdras, le scribe, pour entendre l'explication des paroles de la loi. ¹⁴ Et ils trouvèrent écrit dans la loi que l'Eternel avait prescrite par Moïse, que les enfants d'Israël devaient habiter sous des tentes pendant la fête du septième mois, ¹⁵ et proclamer cette publication dans toutes leurs villes et à Jérusalem: Allez chercher à la montagne des rameaux d'olivier, des rameaux d'olivier sauvage, des rameaux de myrte, des rameaux de palmier, et des rameaux d'arbres touffus, pour faire des tentes, comme il est écrit. ¹⁶ Alors le peuple alla chercher des rameaux, et ils se firent des tentes sur le toit de leurs maisons, dans leurs cours, dans les parvis de la maison de Dieu, sur la place de la porte des eaux et sur la place de la porte d'Ephraïm. ¹⁷ Toute l'assemblée de ceux qui étaient revenus de la captivité fit des tentes, et ils habitèrent sous ces tentes. Depuis le temps de Josué, fils de Nun, jusqu'à ce jour, les enfants d'Israël n'avaient rien fait de pareil. Et il y eut de très grandes réjouissances. ¹⁸ On lut dans le livre de la loi de Dieu chaque jour, depuis le premier jour jusqu'au dernier. On célébra la fête pendant sept jours, et il y eut une assemblée solennelle le huitième jour, comme cela est ordonné.

4 H5830 Esdras H5608 , le scribe H8802 H5975 , était placé H8799 H4026 sur une estrade H6086 de bois H6213 , dressée H8804 H1697 à cette occasion H681 . Auprès H3225 de lui, à sa droite H5975 , se tenaient H8799 H4993 Matthithia H8087 , Schéma H6043 , Anaja H223 , Urie H2518 , Hilkija H4641 et Maaséja H8040 , et à sa gauche H6305 , Pedaja H4332 , Mischaël H4441 , Malkija H2828 , Haschum H2806 , Haschbaddana H2148 , Zacharie H4918 et Meschullam.

5 H5830 Esdras H6605 ouvrit H8799 H5612 le livre H5869 à la vue H5971 de tout le peuple H5971 , car il était élevé au-dessus de tout le peuple H6605 ; et lorsqu’il l’eut ouvert H8800 H5971 , tout le peuple H5975 se tint en place H8804 .

6 H5830 Esdras H1288 bénit H8762 H3068 l’Eternel H1419 , le grand H430 Dieu H5971 , et tout le peuple H6030 répondit H8799 H4607 , en levant H3027 les mains H543 : Amen H543 ! amen H6915 ! Et ils s’inclinèrent H8799 H7812 et se prosternèrent H8691 H3068 devant l’Eternel H639 , le visage H776 contre terre.

7 H3442 Josué H1137 , Bani H8274 , Schérébia H3226 , Jamin H6126 , Akkub H7678 , Schabbethaï H1941 , Hodija H4641 , Maaséja H7042 , Kelitha H5838 , Azaria H3107 , Jozabad H2605 , Hanan H6411 , Pelaja H3881 , et les Lévites H995 , expliquaient H8688 H8451 la loi H5971 au peuple H5971 , et chacun H5977 restait à sa place.

8 H7121 Ils lisaient H8799 H6567 distinctement H8794 H5612 dans le livre H8451 de la loi H430 de Dieu H7760 , et ils en donnaient H8800 H7922 le sens H995 pour faire comprendre H8799 H4744 ce qu’ils avaient lu.

9 H5166 ¶ Néhémie H8660 , le gouverneur H5830 , Esdras H3548 , le sacrificateur H5608 et le scribe H8802 H3881 , et les Lévites H995 qui enseignaient H8688 H5971 le peuple H559 , dirent H8799 H5971 à tout le peuple H3117 : Ce jour H6918 est consacré H3068 à l’Eternel H430 , votre Dieu H56 ; ne soyez pas dans la désolation H8691 H1058 et dans les larmes H8799 H5971 ! Car tout le peuple H1058 pleurait H8802 H8085 en entendant H8800 H1697 les paroles H8451 de la loi.

10 H559 Ils leur dirent H8799 H3212 : Allez H8798 H398 , mangez H8798 H4924 des viandes grasses H8354 et buvez H8798 H4477 des liqueurs douces H7971 , et envoyez H8798 H4490 des portions H3559 à ceux qui n’ont rien de préparé H8737 H3117 , car ce jour H6918 est consacré H113 à notre Seigneur H6087 ; ne vous affligez H8735 H2304 pas, car la joie H3068 de l’Eternel H4581 sera votre force.

11 H3881 Les Lévites H2814 calmaient H8688 H5971 tout le peuple H559 , en disant H8800 H2013 : Taisez H8761 H3117 -vous, car ce jour H6918 est saint H6087 ; ne vous affligez H8735 pas !

12 H5971 Et tout le peuple H3212 s’en alla H8799 H398 pour manger H8800 H8354 et boire H8800 H7971 , pour envoyer H8763 H4490 des portions H6213 , et pour se livrer H8800 H1419 à de grandes H8057 réjouissances H995 . Car ils avaient compris H8689 H1697 les paroles H3045 qu’on leur avait expliquées H8689 .

13 H8145 ¶ Le second H3117 jour H7218 , les chefs H1 de famille H5971 de tout le peuple H3548 , les sacrificateurs H3881 et les Lévites H622 , s’assemblèrent H8738 H5830 auprès d’Esdras H5608 , le scribe H8802 H7919 , pour entendre H8687 H1697 l’explication des paroles H8451 de la loi.

14 H4672 Et ils trouvèrent H8799 H3789 écrit H8803 H8451 dans la loi H3068 que l’Eternel H6680 avait prescrite H8765 H3027 par H4872 Moïse H1121 , que les enfants H3478 d’Israël H3427 devaient habiter H8799 H5521 sous des tentes H2282 pendant la fête H7637 du septième H2320 mois,

15 H8085 et proclamer H8686 H5674 cette publication H8686 H6963 H559 H8800 H5892 dans toutes leurs villes H3389 et à Jérusalem H3318 : Allez H8798 H935 chercher H8685 H2022 à la montagne H5929 des rameaux H2132 d’olivier H6086 , des rameaux H5929 H8081 d’olivier H5929 sauvage, des rameaux H1918 de myrte H5929 , des rameaux H8558 de palmier H5929 , et des rameaux H6086 d’arbres H5687 touffus H6213 , pour faire H8800 H5521 des tentes H3789 , comme il est écrit H8803 .

16 H5971 Alors le peuple H3318 alla H8799 H935 chercher H8686 H376 des rameaux, H6213 et ils se firent H8799 H5521 des tentes H1406 sur le toit H2691 de leurs maisons, dans leurs cours H2691 , dans les parvis H1004 de la maison H430 de Dieu H7339 , sur la place H8179 de la porte H4325 des eaux H7339 et sur la place H8179 de la porte H669 d’Ephraïm.

17 H6951 Toute l’assemblée H7725 de ceux qui étaient revenus H8802 H7628 de la captivité H6213 fit H8799 H5521 des tentes H3427 , et ils habitèrent H8799 H5521 sous ces tentes H3117 . Depuis le temps H3442 de Josué H1121 , fils H5126 de Nun H3117 , jusqu’à ce jour H1121 , les enfants H3478 d’Israël H6213 n’avaient rien fait H8804 H3966 de pareil. Et il y eut de très H1419 grandes H8057 réjouissances.

18 H7121 On lut H8799 H5612 dans le livre H8451 de la loi H430 de Dieu H3117 chaque jour H3117 H7223 , depuis le premier H3117 jour H314 jusqu’au dernier H3117 H6213 . On célébra H8799 H2282 la fête H7651 pendant sept H3117 jours H6116 , et il y eut une assemblée solennelle H8066 le huitième H3117 jour H4941 , comme cela est ordonné.

SE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Y se juntó todo el pueblo como un varón en la plaza que está delante de la puerta de las Aguas, y dijeron a Esdras el escriba, que trajese el libro de la ley de Moisés, la cual mandó el SEÑOR a Israel. ² Y Esdras el sacerdote, trajo la ley delante de la congregación, así de varones como de mujeres, y de todo entendido para escuchar, el primer día del mes séptimo. ³ Y leyó en el libro delante de la plaza que está delante de la puerta de las Aguas, desde el alba hasta el mediodía, en presencia de varones y mujeres y entendidos; y los oídos de todo el pueblo estaban atentos al libro de la ley. ⁴ Y Esdras el escriba estaba sobre un púlpito de madera, que habían hecho para ello; y junto a él estaban Matatías, y Sema, y Anías, y Urías, e Hilcías, y Maasías, a su mano derecha; y a su mano izquierda, Pedaías, Misael, y Malquías, y Hasum, y Hasbadana, Zacarías, y Mesulam. ⁵ Abrió, pues, Esdras el libro a ojos de todo el pueblo (porque estaba más alto que todo el pueblo); y cuando lo abrió, todo el pueblo estuvo atento. ⁶ Bendijo entonces Esdras al SEÑOR, Dios grande. Y todo el pueblo respondió, Amén! Amén! alzando sus manos; y se humillaron, y adoraron al SEÑOR inclinados a tierra. ⁷ Y Jesúa, y Bani, y Serebías, Jamín, Acub, Sabetai, Hodías, Maasías, Kelita, Azarías, Jozabed, Hanán, y Pelaía, levitas, hacían callar al pueblo para que la ley se entendiese; y el pueblo estaba en su lugar. ⁸ Y leían en el libro de la ley de Dios claramente, y pusieron el entendimiento, y entendieron la escritura. ⁹ Y Nehemías el Tirsata, y el sacerdote Esdras, escriba, y los levitas que hacían atento al pueblo, dijeron a todo el pueblo: Día santo es al SEÑOR nuestro Dios; no os entristezcáis, ni lloréis; porque todo el pueblo lloraba oyendo las palabras de la ley. ¹⁰ Y les dijo: Id, comed grosuras, y bebed vino dulce, y enviad porciones a los que no tienen aparejado; porque día santo es a nuestro Señor; y no os entristezcáis, porque el gozo del SEÑOR es vuestra fortaleza. ¹¹ Los levitas, pues, hacían callar a todo el pueblo, diciendo: Callad, que es día santo, y no os entristezcáis. ¹² Y todo el pueblo se fue a comer y a beber, y a enviar porciones, y a gozar de gran alegría, porque habían entendido las palabras que les habían enseñado. ¹³ Y al día siguiente se juntaron los príncipes de las familias de todo el pueblo, sacerdotes, y levitas, a Esdras escriba, para entender las palabras de la ley. ¹⁴ Y hallaron escrito en la ley que el SEÑOR había mandado por mano de Moisés, que habitasen los hijos de Israel en cabañas en la fiesta del mes séptimo; ¹⁵ y que hiciesen saber, y pasar pregón por todas sus ciudades y por Jerusalén, diciendo: Salid al monte, y traed ramos de oliva, y ramos de pino, y ramos de arrayán, y ramos de palmas, y ramos de todo árbol espeso, para hacer cabañas como está escrito. ¹⁶ Salió, pues, el pueblo, y trajeron, y se hicieron cabañas, cada uno sobre su terrado, y en sus patios, y en los patios de la Casa de Dios, y en la plaza de la puerta de las Aguas, y en la plaza de la puerta de Efraín. ¹⁷ Y toda la congregación que volvió de la cautividad hicieron cabañas, y en cabañas habitaron; porque desde los días de Josué hijo de Nun hasta aquel día, no habían hecho así los hijos de Israel. Y hubo alegría muy grande. ¹⁸ Y leyó Esdras en el libro de la ley de Dios cada día, desde el primer día hasta el postrero; e hicieron la fiesta por siete días, y al octavo día congregación, según la ordenanza.

ReinaValera⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Y JUNTOSE todo el pueblo como un solo hombre en la plaza que está delante de la puerta de las Aguas, y dijeron á Esdras el escriba, que trajese el libro de la ley de Moisés, la cual mandó Jehová á Israel. ² Y Esdras el sacerdote, trajo la ley delante de la congregación, así de hombres como de mujeres, y de todo entendido para escuchar, el primer día del mes séptimo. ³ Y leyó en el libro delante de la plaza que está delante de la puerta de las Aguas, desde el alba hasta el medio día, en presencia de hombres y mujeres y entendidos; y los oídos de todo el pueblo estaban atentos al libro de la ley. ⁴ Y Esdras el escriba estaba sobre un púlpito de madera, que habían hecho para ello; y junto á él estaban Mathithías, y Sema, y Anías, y Urías, é Hilcías, y Maasías, á su mano derecha; y á su mano izquierda, Pedaía, Misael, y Malchîas, y Hasum, y Hasbedana, Zachârías, y Mesullam. ⁵ Abrió pues Esdras el libro á ojos de todo el pueblo, (porque estaba más alto que todo el pueblo); y como lo abrió, todo el pueblo estuvo atento. ⁶ Bendijo entonces Esdras á Jehová, Dios grande.

JBS⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Y se juntó todo el pueblo como un varón en la plaza que está delante de la puerta de las Aguas, y dijeron a Esdras el escriba, que trajera el libro de la ley de Moisés, la cual mandó el SEÑOR a Israel. ² Y Esdras el sacerdote, trajo la ley delante de la congregación, así de varones como de mujeres, y de todo entendido para escuchar, el primer día del mes séptimo. ³ Y leyó en el libro delante de la plaza que está delante de la puerta de las Aguas, desde el alba hasta el mediodía, en presencia de varones y mujeres y entendidos; y los oídos de todo el pueblo estaban atentos al libro de la ley. ⁴ Y Esdras el escriba estaba sobre un púlpito de madera, que habían hecho para ello; y junto a él estaban Matatías, Sema, Anías, Urías, Hilcías, y Maasías, a su mano derecha; y a su mano izquierda, Pedaías, Misael, Malquías, Hasum, Hasbadana, Zacarías, y Mesulam. ⁵ Abrió, pues, Esdras el libro a ojos de todo el pueblo (porque estaba más alto que todo el pueblo); y cuando lo abrió, todo el pueblo estuvo atento. ⁶ Bendijo entonces Esdras al SEÑOR, Dios grande.

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Atëherë tërë populli u mblodh si një njeri i vetëm në sheshin që ishte përpara portës së Ujërave; i thanë pastaj shkruesit Ezdra të sillte librin e ligjit të Moisiut, që Zoti i kishte dhënë Izraelit. ² Ditën e parë të muajit të shtatë, prifti Ezdra solli ligjin para asamblesë së burrave, të grave dhe të gjithë atyre që ishin të aftë të kuptonin. ³ Pastaj e lexoi në sheshin që ndodhet përpara portës së Ujërave, nga agimi deri në mesditë përpara burrave, grave dhe atyre që ishin të aftë të kuptonin; dhe veshët e të gjithë popullit ndiqnin me vëmendje librin e ligjit. ⁴ Shkruesi Ezdra qëndronte mbi një tribunë prej druri që kishin bërë për këtë rast. Pranë tij ishin në të djathtë Matithiahu, Shema, Ananiahu, Uria, Hilkiahu dhe Maasejahu; në të majtë Pedajahu, Mishaeli, Malkijahu, Hashumi, Hashbadana, Zakaria dhe Meshulami. ⁵ Ezdra e hapi librin në prani të të gjithë popullit, sepse rrinte më lart se tërë populli; sa e hapi, tërë populli u ngrit në këmbë. ⁶ Ezdra bekoi Zotin, Perëndinë i madh, dhe tërë populli u përgjigj: "Amen, amen", duke ngritur duart; pastaj u përkulën dhe ranë përmbys me fytyrë për tokë përpara Zotit. ⁷ Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiahu, Jamini, Akubi, Shabethai, Hodijahu, Maasejahu, Kelita, Azaria, Jozabadi, Hanani, Pelajahu dhe Levitët e ndihmonin popullin të kuptonte ligjin, ndërsa populli rrinte në këmbë në vendin e tij. ⁸ Ata lexonin në librin e ligjit të Perëndisë në mënyrë të qartë, duke shpjeguar domethënien e tij, me qëllim që të kuptonin atë që lexohej. ⁹ Nehemia, që ishte qeveritari, Ezdra, prift dhe shkrues, dhe Levitët që e mësonin popullin i thanë tërë popullit: "Kjo ditë i shenjtërohet Zotit, Perëndisë tuaj; mos mbani zi dhe mos qani!". Tërë populli ¹⁰ Pastaj Nehemia u tha atyre: "Shkoni, hani, ushqime shumë të shijshme dhe pini verëra të ëmbla, dhe u çoni racione atyre që nuk kanë përgatitur asgjë, sepse kjo ditë i është shenjtëruar Zotit tonë. Mos u trishtoni, sepse gëzimi i Zotit është fuqia juaj". ¹¹ Levitët e mbanin në heshtje tërë popullin, duke thënë: "Heshtni, sepse kjo ditë është e shenjtë. Mos u trishtoni!". ¹² Atëherë tërë populli shkoi të hajë, të pijë, t'u dërgojë racione të varfërve dhe të kremtojë me hare të madhe, sepse ata i kishin kuptuar fjalët që u ishin shpjeguar. ¹³ Ditën e dytë, krerët e shtëpive atërore të të gjithë popullit, priftërinjtë dhe Levitët u mblodhën pranë Ezdras, shkruesit, për të dëgjuar fjalët e ligjit. ¹⁴ Gjetën të shkruar në ligj që Zoti kishte urdhëruar me anë të Moisiut që bijtë e Izraelit duhet të banonin në kasolle gjatë festës së muajit të shtatë, ¹⁵ dhe në të gjitha qytetet e tyre dhe në Jeruzalem duhet të përhapnin dhe të shpallnin një njoftim në të cilin të thuhej: "Shkoni në mal dhe sillni andej degë ulliri, degë ullastre, degë mërsine, degë palme dhe degë me gjethe të dendura, për të bërë kasolle, siç është shkruar". ¹⁶ Atëherë populli shkoi jashtë dhe solli degët, dhe i ndërtoi kasollet, kush mbi çatinë e shtëpisë së tij, kush në oborrin e tij, të tjerë në oborret e shtëpisë së Perëndisë, në sheshin e portës të Ujërave dhe në sheshin e portës së Efraimit. ¹⁷ Kështu tërë asambleja e atyre që ishin kthyer nga robëria ndërtoi kasolle dhe banoi në to. Nga koha e Jozueut, birit të Nunit, e deri në atë ditë, bijtë e Izraelit nuk kishin bërë asgjë të tillë. Dhe qe një gëzim shumë i madh. ¹⁸ Ezdra lexoi librin e ligjit të Perëndisë çdo ditë, nga dita e parë deri në ditën e fundit. E kremtuan festën shtatë ditë; ditën e tetë pati një asamble solemne, siç e kërkon ligji.

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Когда наступил седьмой месяц, и сыны Израилевы жили по городам своим, тогдасобрался весь народ, как один человек, на площадь, которая пред Водяными воротами, и сказали книжнику Ездре, чтобы он принес книгу законаМоисеева, который заповедал Господь Израилю. ² И принес священник Ездра закон пред собрание мужчин и женщин, и всех, которые могли понимать, в первый день седьмого месяца; ³ и читал из него на площади, которая пред Водяными воротами, от рассвета до полудня, пред мужчинами и женщинами и всеми, которые могли понимать; и уши всего народа были приклонены к книге закона. ⁴ Книжник Ездра стоял на деревянном возвышении, которое для сего сделали, а подле него, по правую руку его, стояли Маттифия и Шема, и Анаия и Урия, и Хелкия и Маасея, а по левую руку его Федаия и Мисаил, и Малхия и Хашум, и Хашбаддана, и Захария и Мешуллам. ⁵ И открыл Ездра книгу пред глазами всего народа, потому что он стоял выше всего народа. И когда он открыл ее, весь народ встал. ⁶ И благословил Ездра Господа Бога великого. И весь народ отвечал: аминь, аминь, поднимая вверх руки свои, – и поклонялисьи повергались пред Господом лицем до земли. ⁷ Иисус, Ванаия, Шеревия, Иамин, Аккув, Шавтай, Годия, Маасея,Клита, Азария, Иозавад, Ханан, Фелаия и левиты поясняли народу закон, между тем как народ стоял на своем месте. ⁸ И читали из книги, из закона Божия, внятно, и присоединяли толкование, и народ понимал прочитанное. ⁹ Тогда Неемия, он же Тиршафа, и книжник Ездра, священник, и левиты, учившие народ, сказали всему народу: день сей свят Господу Богувашему; не печальтесь и не плачьте, потому что весь народ плакал, слушаяслова закона. ¹⁰ И сказал им: пойдите, ешьте тучное и пейте сладкое, и посылайте части тем, у кого ничего не приготовлено, потому что день сей свят Господу нашему. И не печальтесь, потому что радость пред Господом – подкрепление для вас. ¹¹ И левиты успокаивали весь народ, говоря: перестаньте, ибо день сей свят, не печальтесь. ¹² И пошел весь народ есть, и пить, и посылать части, и праздновать с великим веселием, ибо поняли слова, которые сказали им. ¹³ На другой день собрались главы поколений от всего народа, священники и левиты к книжнику Ездре, чтобы он изъяснял им слова закона. ¹⁴ И нашли написанное в законе, который Господь дал чрез Моисея, чтобы сыны Израилевы в седьмом месяце, в праздник, жили в кущах. ¹⁵ И потому объявили и провозгласили по всем городам своим и в Иерусалиме, говоря: пойдите на гору и несите ветви маслины садовой и ветви маслины дикой, и ветви миртовые и ветви пальмовые, и ветви других широколиственных дерев, чтобы сделать кущи по написанному. ¹⁶ И пошел народ, и принесли, и сделали себе кущи, каждый на своей кровле и на дворах своих, и на дворах дома Божия, и на площади у Водяных ворот, и на площади у Ефремовых ворот. ¹⁷ Все общество возвратившихся из плена сделало кущи и жило в кущах. От дней Иисуса, сына Навина, до этого дня не делали так сыны Израилевы. Радость была весьма великая. ¹⁸ И читали из книги закона Божия каждый день, от первого дня до последнего дня. И праздновали праздник семь дней, а в восьмой день попразднество по уставу.

Arabic⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ اجتمع كل الشعب كرجل واحد الى الساحة التي امام باب الماء وقالوا لعزرا الكاتب ان يأتي بسفر شريعة موسى التي أمر بها الرب اسرائيل. ² فأتى عزرا الكاتب بالشريعة امام الجماعة من الرجال والنساء وكل فاهم ما يسمع في اليوم الاول من الشهر السابع. ³ وقرأ فيها امام الساحة التي امام باب الماء من الصباح الى نصف النهار امام الرجال والنساء والفاهمين وكانت آذان كل الشعب نحو سفر الشريعة. ⁴ ووقف عزرا الكاتب على منبر الخشب الذي عملوه لهذا الأمر ووقف بجانبه متثيا وشمع وعنايا واوريا وحلقيا ومعسيا عن يمينه وعن يساره فدايا وميشائيل وملكيا وحشوم وحشبدانة وزكريا ومشلام. ⁵ وفتح عزرا السفر امام كل الشعب لانه كان فوق كل الشعب وعندما فتحه وقف كل الشعب. ⁶ وبارك عزرا الرب الاله العظيم. واجاب جميع الشعب آمين آمين رافعين ايديهم وخرّوا وسجدوا للرب على وجوههم الى الارض. ⁷ ويشوع وباني وشربيا ويامين وعقوب وشبتاي وهوديا ومعسيا وقليطا وعزريا ويوزاباد وحنان وفلايا واللاويون افهموا الشعب الشريعة والشعب في اماكنهم. ⁸ وقرأوا في السفر في شريعة الله ببيان وفسروا المعنى وافهموهم القراءة ⁹ ونحميا اي الترشاثا وعزرا الكاهن الكاتب واللاويون المفهمون الشعب قالوا لجميع الشعب هذا اليوم مقدس للرب الهكم لا تنوحوا ولا تبكوا. لان جميع الشعب بكوا حين سمعوا كلام الشريعة. ¹⁰ فقال لهم اذهبوا كلوا السمين واشربوا الحلو وابعثوا انصبة لمن لم يعدّ له لان اليوم انما هو مقدس لسيدنا ولا تحزنوا لان فرح الرب هو قوتكم. ¹¹ وكان اللاويون يسكتون كل الشعب قائلين اسكتوا لان اليوم مقدس فلا تحزنوا. ¹² فذهب كل الشعب ليأكلوا ويشربوا ويبعثوا انصبة ويعملوا فرحا عظيما لانهم فهموا الكلام الذي علموهم اياه ¹³ وفي اليوم الثاني اجتمع رؤوس آباء جميع الشعب والكهنة واللاويون الى عزرا الكاتب ليفهمهم كلام الشريعة. ¹⁴ فوجدوا مكتوبا في الشريعة التي امر بها الرب عن يد موسى ان بني اسرائيل يسكنون في مظال في العيد في الشهر السابع ¹⁵ وان يسمعوا وينادوا في كل مدنهم وفي اورشليم قائلين اخرجوا الى الجبل وأتوا باغصان زيتون واغصان زيتون برّي واغصان آس واغصان نخل واغصان اشجار غبياء لعمل مظال كما هو مكتوب. ¹⁶ فخرج الشعب وجلبوا وعملوا لانفسهم مظال كل واحد على سطحه وفي دورهم ودور بيت الله وفي ساحة باب الماء وفي ساحة باب افرايم. ¹⁷ وعمل كل الجماعة الراجعين من السبي مظال وسكنوا في المظال لانه لم يعمل بنو اسرائيل هكذا من ايام يشوع بن نون الى ذلك اليوم وكان فرح عظيم جدا. ¹⁸ وكان يقرأ في سفر شريعة الله يوما فيوما من اليوم الاول الى اليوم الاخير وعملوا عيدا سبعة ايام وفي اليوم الثامن اعتكاف حسب المرسوم

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Тогава целият народ се събра като един човек на площада, който беше пред Портата на водата и казаха на книжника Ездра да донесе книгата на Мойсеевия закон, който ГОСПОД беше заповядал на Израил. ² И на първия ден от седмия месец свещеник Ездра донесе закона пред събранието от мъже и жени и от всички, които можеха да слушат с разбиране. ³ И той чете от него на площада, който беше пред Портата на водата, от зори до пладне пред мъжете и жените и онези, които можеха да разбират. И вниманието на целия народ беше към книгата на закона. ⁴ А книжникът Ездра стоеше на дървена платформа, която бяха направили за тази цел, и до него стояха Мататия и Сема, и Аная, и Урия, и Хелкия, и Маасия от дясната му страна, а от лявата му страна бяха Федая и Мисаил, и Мелхия, и Асум, и Асвадана, Захария и Месулам. ⁵ И Ездра разгъна книгата пред очите на целия народ, защото беше над целия народ. И когато я разгъна, целият народ се изправи. ⁶ И Ездра прослави ГОСПОДА, великия Бог, и целият народ отговори: Амин, амин! — като издигнаха ръцете си и се наведоха и се поклониха на ГОСПОДА с лицата си до земята. ⁷ А Иисус и Ваний, и Серевия, Ямин, Акув, Саветай, Одия, Маасия, Келита, Азария, Йозавад, Анан, Фелая и левитите обясняваха закона на народа, а народът стоеше на мястото си. ⁸ Четяха ясно от книгата на Божия закон и даваха значението, като им обясняваха прочетеното. ⁹ И Неемия, който беше управителят, и свещеник Ездра, книжникът, и левитите, които поучаваха народа, казаха на целия народ: Този ден е свят на ГОСПОДА, вашия Бог! Не тъжете и не плачете! — защото целият народ заплака, като чу думите на закона. ¹⁰ И им каза: Идете, яжте тлъсто и пийте сладко и пратете дялове на тези, за които нищо не е приготвено, защото денят е свят на нашия Господ. И не скърбете, защото радостта в ГОСПОДА е вашата сила. ¹¹ И левитите успокоиха целия народ, като казаха: Мълчете, защото денят е свят! Не тъжете! ¹² И целият народ отиде да яде и да пие, да изпрати дялове и да направи голямо увеселение, защото беше разбрал думите, които му се говориха. ¹³ И на втория ден главите на бащините домове на целия народ, свещениците и левитите се събраха при книжника Ездра, за да се поучат в думите на закона. ¹⁴ И намериха писано в закона, че ГОСПОД беше заповядал чрез Мойсей израилевите синове да живеят в колиби на празника в седмия месец, ¹⁵ и да обявят и разгласят по всичките си градове и в Ерусалим, като кажат: Излезте в планината и донесете маслинови клони и клони от дива маслина, и миртови клони, и палмови клони, и клони от гъстолистни дървета, за да направите колиби, както е писано! ¹⁶ И народът излезе и донесе клони, и си направиха колиби — всеки на покрива си и в дворовете си, и в дворовете на Божия дом, на площада при Портата на водата и на площада при Ефремовата порта. ¹⁷ Цялото събрание, всички, които се бяха върнали от плена, направиха колиби и живяха в колибите. Защото израилевите синове не бяха правили така от времето на Иисус, сина на Навий, до онзи ден. И настана много голяма радост. ¹⁸ И всеки ден се четеше от книгата на Божия закон, от първия ден до последния ден. Седем дни празнуваха празника, а на осмия ден имаше тържествено събрание според правилото.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Tada se skupi sav narod kao jedan čovjek na trg koji je pred Vodenim vratima. Rekoše književniku Ezri da donese knjigu Mojsijeva zakona što ga je Jahve dao Izraelu. ² I prvoga dana sedmoga mjeseca svećenik Ezra donese Zakon pred zbor ljudi, žena i sviju koji su bili sposobni da ga razumiju. ³ Na trgu koji je pred Vodenim vratima počeo je čitati knjigu, od ranoga jutra do podneva, pred ljudima, ženama i pred onima koji su bili zreli. Sav je narod pozorno slušao knjigu Zakona. ⁴ Književnik Ezra stajaše na drvenu besjedištu koje su podigli za tu zgodu. Kraj njega stajahu: s desne strane Matitja, Šema, Anaja, Urija, Hilkija i Maaseja, a s lijeve strane Pedaja, Mišael, Malkija, Hašum, Hašbadana, Zaharija i Mešulam. ⁵ Ezra je otvorio knjigu naočigled svemu narodu - jer je bio poviše od svega naroda - a kad ju je otvorio, sav narod ustade. ⁶ Tada Ezra blagoslovi Jahvu, Boga velikoga, a sav narod, podignutih ruku, odgovori: "Amen! Amen!" Zatim su kleknuli i poklonili se pred Jahvom, licem do zemlje. ⁷ A leviti Ješua, Bani, Šerebja, Jamin, Akub, Šabtaj, Hodija, Maaseja, Kelita, Azarja, Jozabad, Hanan i Pelaja objašnjavahu Zakon narodu, a narod stajaše na svome mjestu. ⁸ I čitahu iz knjige Božjeg zakona po odlomcima i razlagahu smisao da narod može razumjeti što se čita. ⁹ Potom namjesnik Nehemija, i svećenik i književnik Ezra, i leviti koji poučavahu narod rekoše svemu narodu: "Ovo je dan posvećen Jahvi, Bogu vašemu! Ne tugujte, ne plačite!" Jer sav narod plakaše slušajući riječi Zakona. ¹⁰ I još im reče Nehemija: "Pođite i jedite masna jela, i pijte slatko, i pošaljite dio onima koji nemaju ništa pripremljeno, jer ovo je dan posvećen našem Gospodu. Ne žalostite se: radost Jahvina vaša je jakost." ¹¹ I leviti umirivahu sav narod govoreći: "Umirite se: ovaj je dan svet. Ne tugujte!" ¹² I ode sav narod da jede i pije, i da šalje obroke, i da slavi veliko slavlje: jer su shvatili riječi koje su im objavljene. ¹³ Drugog dana skupiše se glavari obitelji svega naroda, svećenici i leviti oko književnika Ezre da prouče riječi Zakona. ¹⁴ I nađoše napisano u Zakonu što ga je Jahve naredio preko sluge Mojsija: "Sinovi Izraelovi neka borave pod sjenicama za svečanosti u sedmom mjesecu." ¹⁵ Čim su čuli, proglasiše u svim svojim gradovima i u Jeruzalemu: "Idite u goru i donesite granja maslinova i granja divlje masline, mirtovih i palmovih grana i granja ostaloga lisnatog drveća da načinimo sjenice, kako je propisano." ¹⁶ I ode narod i donese granja i načiniše sjenice, svaki na svom krovu i svojim dvorištima, u predvorjima Doma Božjega, na trgu kod Vodenih vrata i na onom kod Efrajimovih vrata. ¹⁷ Sav zbor onih koji su se vratili iz sužanjstva načini sjenice i boravili su u njima - Izraelci nisu toga činili od vremena Jošue, sina Nunova, sve do toga dana. I bila je veoma velika radost. ¹⁸ Ezra je čitao knjigu Zakona Božjeg svakog dana, od prvoga do posljednjega. Sedam se dana svetkovao blagdan, a osmoga je dana bio svečani zbor, kako je propisano.

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I shromáždil se všecken lid jednomyslně do ulice, kteráž jest proti bráně vodné, a řekli Ezdrášovi učiteli, aby přinesl knihu zákona Mojžíšova, kterýž vydal Hospodin lidu Izraelskému. ² Tedy přinesl Ezdráš kněz zákon před to shromáždění mužů i žen i všech, kteříž by rozumně poslouchati mohli, prvního dne měsíce sedmého. ³ I četl v něm na té ulici, kteráž jest proti bráně vodné, od jitra až do poledne, při přítomnosti mužů i žen, i kteřížkoli rozuměti mohli. A uši všeho lidu obráceny byly k knize zákona. ⁴ Stál pak Ezdráš učitel na kazatelnici dřevěné, kterouž byli udělali k té věci, a stál podlé něho Mattitiáš, Sema, Anaiáš, Uriáš, Helkiáš a Maaseiáš, po pravé ruce jeho, po levé pak Pedaiáš, Misael, Malkiáš, Chasum, Chasbaddana, Zachariáš a Mesullam. ⁵ Otevřel tedy Ezdráš knihu před očima všeho lidu, (nebo výše stál než všecken lid). Kterouž jakž otevřel, povstal všecken lid. ⁶ I dobrořečil Ezdráš Hospodinu Bohu velikému, a všecken lid odpovídal: Amen, amen, pozdvihujíce rukou svých, a skloňujíce hlavy, poklonu učinili Hospodinu tváří k zemi. ⁷ Tak i Jesua, Báni, Serebiáš, Jamin, Akkub, Sabbetai, Hodiáš, Maaseiáš, Kelita, Azariáš, Jozabad, Chanan, Pelaiáš, a Levítové vyučovali lid zákonu. Lid pak byl na místě svém. ⁸ Nebo čtli v té knize v zákoně Božím srozumitelně, a vykládajíce smysl, vysvětlovali to, což čtli. ⁹ Potom řekl Nehemiáš, jinak Tirsata, a Ezdráš kněz, učitel, a Levítové, kteříž lid vyučovali, všemu lidu: Den tento posvěcený jest Hospodinu Bohu vašemu, nekvěltež, ani plačte. (Nebo plakal všecken lid, když slyšeli slova zákona.) ¹⁰ Ale jděte, řekl jim, a jezte tučné věci, a píte sladké, sdílejíce se s těmi, kteříž nemají nic připraveno. Den zajisté tento svatý jest Pánu našemu, protož nermuťtež se, nýbrž radost Hospodinova budiž síla vaše. ¹¹ A když tak Levítové pospokojili všeho lidu, mluvíce: Mlčte, nebo den svatý jest, a nermuťte se, ¹² Odšel všecken lid, aby jedli a pili, a aby se sdíleli. I veselili se velmi, proto že srozuměli slovům těm, kteráž jim v známost uvedli. ¹³ Potom nazejtří sešla se knížata čeledí otcovských ze všeho lidu, kněží i Levítové k Ezdrášovi učiteli, aby vyrozuměli slovům zákona. ¹⁴ Našli pak napsáno v zákoně, že přikázal Hospodin skrze Mojžíše, aby bydlili synové Izraelští v stáncích na slavnost měsíce sedmého, ¹⁵ A aby dali prohlásiti a provolati po všech městech svých i v Jeruzalémě, řkouce: Vyjděte na hory, a přineste ratolestí olivových a ratolestí dříví borového, a ratolestí myrtových, i ratolestí palmových, a ratolestí dříví hustého, abyste nadělali stánků, tak jakž psáno jest. ¹⁶ Protož vyšed lid, přinesli a nadělali sobě stánků, jeden každý na střeše své, i v síních svých, i v síních domu Božího, i v ulici brány vodné, i v ulici brány Efraim. ¹⁷ A tak nadělali stánků všecko shromáždění těch, jenž se vrátili z zajetí, a bydlili v nich, (ačkoli nečinili tak synové Izraelští ode dnů Jozue syna Nun, až do dne toho). I byla radost velmi veliká. ¹⁸ Četl pak v knize zákona Božího na každý den, od prvního dne až do posledního, a drželi slavnost za sedm dní. Osmého pak dne byl svátek podlé obyčeje.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Da samledes det hele Folk som een Mand paa Pladsen, som er foran Vandporten, og de sagde til Esra den skriftlærde, at han skulde bringe Bogen med Mose Lov frem, som HERREN havde budet Israel. ² Og Esra, Præsten, bragte Loven frem for Forsamlingens Ansigt, baade for Mænd og Kvinder og for alle, som kunde forstaa at høre til, paa den første Dag i den syvende Maaned. ³ Og han læste i den lige for Pladsen, som er foran Vandporten, fra lys Morgen indtil midt paa Dagen, for Mænd og Kvinder og dem, som kunde forstaa det, og alt Folkets Øren agtede paa Lovbogen. ⁴ Og Esra, den skriftlærde, stod paa en Forhøjning af Træ, som de havde gjort til det samme, og hos ham stod Mathithja og Sema og Anaja og Uria og Hilkia og Maeseja ved hans højre Haand; og ved hans venstre Haand Pedaja og Misael og Malkia og Hasum og Hasbaddana, Sakaria og Mesullam. ⁵ Og Esra oplod Bogen for alt Folkets Øjne; thi han stod højere end alt Folket; og der han oplod den, blev alt Folket staaende. ⁶ Og Esra lovede HERREN den store Gud, og alt Folket svarede: Amen! Amen! med deres Hænder oprakte, og de kastede sig ned og bøjede sig ned for HERREN med Ansigtet til Jorden. ⁷ Og Jesua og Bani og Serebja, Jamin, Akkub, Sabthaj, Hodija, Maeseja, Klita, Asarja, Josabad, Hanan, Plaja og Leviterne underviste Folket om Loven; og Folket stod paa sit Sted. ⁸ Og de læste i Boben, i Guds Lov, klarlig og gave Folket Forstand derpaa, og dette forstod det læste. ⁹ Og Nehemia (det er Hattirsatha) og Esra, Præsten; den skriftlærde, og Leviterne, som underviste, Folket, sagde til alt Folket: Denne Dag er HERREN eders Gud hellig, derfor sørger ikke og græder ikke; thi alt Folket græd, der de hørte Lovens Ord. ¹⁰ Fremdeles sagde han til dem: Gaar, æder det fede og drikker det søde og sender den, som intet har beredt, en Del; thi denne Dag er vor Herre hellig; derfor værer ikke bekymrede, thi HERRENS Glæde den er eders Styrke. ¹¹ Og Leviterne fik alt Folket til at tie ved at sige: Værer stille, thi denne Dag er hellig, og værer ikke bekymrede! ¹² Og alt Folket gik at æde og drikke og at sende en Del ud og at gøre sig en stor Glæde, fordi de havde forstaaet de Ord, som man havde kundgjort dem. ¹³ Og den anden Dag samledes Øversterne for Fædrenehusene iblandt alt Folket, Præsterne og Leviterne hos Esra, den skriftlærde, og det for ret at faa Forstand paa Lovens Ord. ¹⁴ Og de fandt skrevet i Loven, som HERREN havde budet ved Mose, at Israels Børn skulde bo i Hytter paa Højtiden i den syvende Maaned, ¹⁵ og at de skulde lade bekendtgøre og lade udraabe igennem alle deres Stæder og i Jerusalem og sige: Gaar ud paa Bjerget og bringer Oliegrene, og vilde Olietræers Grene og Myrtegrene og Palmegrene og Grene af løvrige Træer til at gøre Hytter, som skrevet er. ¹⁶ Og Folket gik ud og bragte det frem og gjorde sig Hytter, paa hver sit Tag, og i deres Forgaarde og i Guds Hus's Forgaard og paa Pladsen ved Vandporten og paa Pladsen ved Efraims Port. ¹⁷ Og den heleForsamling, de, som vare komne tilbage fra Fangenskabet, gjorde Hytter og boede i Hytter; thi Israels Børn havde ikke gjort saaledes siden Josvas, Nuns Søns, Dage indtil den Dag; og det var en saare stor Glæde. ¹⁸ Og man læste i Guds Lovbog Dag for Dag, fra den første Dag indtil den sidste Dag; og de holdt Højtid i syv Dage, og paa den ottende Dag holdt de Slutningshøjtid, som Skik er.

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Sitte kokoontui kaikki kansa niinkuin yksi mies sille kadulle, joka on Vesiportin edessä, ja sanoivat Esralle, kirjanoppineelle, että hän tois Moseksen lakikirjan, jonka Herra oli Israelille käskenyt. ² Ja Esra pappi toi lakikirjan kansan eteen, sekä miesten että vaimoin, ja kaikkein jotka ymmärtää ja kuulla taisivat, ensimäisenä päivänä seitsemättä kuuta. ³ Ja hän luki siitä kadulla Vesiportin edessä aamusta hamaan puolipäivään asti miesten ja vaimoin edessä, ja jokaisen joka ymmärtää taisi; ja kaiken kansan korvat olivat lakikirjaan käännetyt. ⁴ Ja Esra, kirjanoppinut, seisoi korkialla puuistuimella, jonka he sitä varten olivat tehneet; ja Mattitia, Sema, Anaja, Uria, Hilkia ja Maeseja seisoivat hänen vieressänsä hänen oikialla puolellansa; ja hänen vasemmalla puolellansa seisoivat Pedaja, Misael, Malkia, Hasum, Hasbaddana, Sakaria ja Mesullam. ⁵ Ja Esra avasi kirjan kaiken kansan edessä; sillä hän seisoi ylempänä kaikkea kansaa. Ja kuin hän sen avasi, niin seisoi kaikki kansa. ⁶ Ja Esra kiitti Herraa, suurta Jumalaa, ja kaikki kansa vastasi nostetuilla käsillä: amen! ja he kumarsivat ja rukoilivat Herraa kasvoillansa maassa. ⁷ Ja Jesua, Bani, Serebia, Jamin, Akub, Sabtai, Hodija, Maeseja, Kelita, Asaria, Josabad, Hanan, Pelaja ja Leviläiset opettivat kansan lakia ymmärtämään; ja kansa seisoi alallansa. ⁸ Ja he lukivat Jumalan lakikirjan selkiästi ja niin ymmärrettävästi, että he ymmärsivät, mitä luettiin. ⁹ Ja Nehemia, joka on Tirsata, ja Esra pappi, kirjanoppinut, ja Leviläiset jotka kansan opettivat ymmärtämään, sanoivat kansalle: tämä päivä on pyhä Herralle teidän Jumalallenne: älkäät murehtiko ja älkäät itkekö! sillä kuin kansa kuuli lain sanat, niin he kaikki itkivät. ¹⁰ Ja hän sanoi heille: menkäät ja syökäät lihavaa, ja juokaat makiaa, ja lähettäkäät niille myös osa, joilla ei mitään ole valmistettu; tämä päivä on pyhä meidän Herrallemme, sentähden älkäät murehtiko; sillä Herran ilo on teidän väkevyytenne. ¹¹ Ja Leviläiset vaikittivat kaiken kansan ja sanoivat: olkaat ääneti, sillä tämä päivä on pyhä, älkäät murehtiko! ¹² Ja kaikki kansa meni syömään ja juomaan, ja lähettämään osia ulos, ja tekivät suuren ilon; sillä he olivat ymmärtäneet ne sanat, jotka heille olivat ilmoitetut. ¹³ Toisena päivänä tulivat ylimmäiset isät kaikesta kansasta, papit ja Leviläiset kokoon, Esran kirjanoppineen tykö, oppimaan lain sanoja. ¹⁴ Ja he löysivät laissa kirjoitetun, että Herra oli käskenyt Moseksen kautta Israelin lasten asua lehtimajoissa seitsemännen kuun juhlalla. ¹⁵ Ja he antoivat sen julkisesti ilmoittaa ja kuuluttaa kaikissa kaupungeissansa ja Jerusalemissa, ja sanoa: menkäät ulos vuorelle ja tuokaat öljypuun oksia, balsamipuun oksia, myrrhamipuun oksia, palmupuun oksia ja paksuista puista oksia, tehdäksenne majoja, niinkuin kirjoitettu on. ¹⁶ Ja kansa menivät ulos ja toivat, ja tekivät itsellensä lehtimajoja, jokainen kattonsa päälle ja kartanoihinsa, ja Jumalan huoneen kartanoihin, ja Vesiportin kadulle, ja Ephraimin portin kadulle. ¹⁷ Ja kaikki kansa, joka palannut oli vankeudesta, teki lehtimajoja ja asui niissä; sillä ei Israelin lapset niin olleet tehneet hamasta Josuan Nunin pojan ajasta niin siihen päivään asti. Ja siinä oli sangen suuri ilo. ¹⁸ Ja luettiin joka päivä Jumalan lakikirjaa, ensimmäisestä päivästä niin viimeiseen. Ja he pitivät juhlaa seitsemän päivää ja kahdeksantena päivänä päätöksen, tavan jälkeen.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Silloin kokoontui kaikki kansa yhtenä miehenä Vesiportin edustalla olevalle aukealle; ja he pyysivät Esraa, kirjanoppinutta, tuomaan Mooseksen lain kirjan, jonka lain Herra oli antanut Israelille. ² Niin pappi Esra toi lain seurakunnan eteen, sekä miesten että naisten, kaikkien, jotka voivat ymmärtää, mitä kuulivat. Tämä tapahtui seitsemännen kuun ensimmäisenä päivänä. ³ Ja hän luki sitä Vesiportin edustalla olevalla aukealla päivän koitosta puolipäivään saakka miehille ja naisille, niille, jotka voivat sitä ymmärtää, kaiken kansan kuunnellessa lain kirjan lukemista. ⁴ Ja Esra, kirjanoppinut, seisoi korkealla puulavalla, joka oli tätä varten tehty. Ja hänen vieressään seisoivat: hänen oikealla puolellaan Mattitja, Sema, Anaja, Uuria, Hilkia ja Maaseja; ja hänen vasemmalla puolellaan Pedaja, Miisael, Malkia, Haasum, Hasbaddana, Sakarja ja Mesullam. ⁵ Ja Esra avasi kirjan kaiken kansan nähden, sillä hän seisoi ylempänä kaikkea kansaa; ja kun hän avasi sen, nousi kaikki kansa seisomaan. ⁶ Ja Esra kiitti Herraa, suurta Jumalaa, ja kaikki kansa vastasi, kohottaen kätensä ylös: "Amen, amen"; ja he kumarsivat ja rukoilivat Herraa, heittäytyneinä kasvoilleen maahan. ⁷ Sitten Jeesua, Baani, Seerebja, Jaamin, Akkub, Sabbetai, Hoodia, Maaseja, Kelita, Asarja, Joosabad, Haanan, Pelaja ja muut leeviläiset opettivat kansalle lakia, kansan seisoessa alallansa. ⁸ Ja he lukivat Jumalan lain kirjaa kappale kappaleelta ja selittivät sen sisällyksen, niin että luettu ymmärrettiin. ⁹ Ja Nehemia, maaherra, ja pappi Esra, kirjanoppinut, ja leeviläiset, jotka opettivat kansaa, sanoivat kaikelle kansalle: "Tämä päivä on pyhitetty Herralle, teidän Jumalallenne, älkää murehtiko älkääkä itkekö". Sillä kaikki kansa itki, kun he kuulivat lain sanat. ¹⁰ Ja hän sanoi vielä heille: "Menkää ja syökää rasvaisia ruokia ja juokaa makeita juomia ja lähettäkää maistiaisia niille, joilla ei ole mitään valmistettuna, sillä tämä päivä on pyhitetty meidän Herrallemme. Ja älkää olko murheelliset, sillä ilo Herrassa on teidän väkevyytenne." ¹¹ Myöskin leeviläiset rauhoittivat kaikkea kansaa ja sanoivat: "Olkaa hiljaa, sillä tämä päivä on pyhä; älkää olko murheelliset". ¹² Ja kaikki kansa meni, söi ja joi, lähetti maistiaisia ja vietti suurta ilojuhlaa; sillä he olivat ymmärtäneet, mitä heille oli julistettu. ¹³ Seuraavana päivänä kokoontuivat kaiken kansan perhekunta-päämiehet, papit ja leeviläiset Esran, kirjanoppineen, tykö painamaan lain sanoja mieleensä. ¹⁴ Niin he huomasivat lakiin kirjoitetun, että Herra oli Mooseksen kautta käskenyt israelilaisia asumaan lehtimajoissa juhlan aikana seitsemännessä kuussa, ¹⁵ ja että kaikissa heidän kaupungeissaan ja Jerusalemissa oli julistettava ja kuulutettava näin: "Menkää vuorille ja tuokaa öljypuun lehviä tai metsäöljypuun lehviä sekä myrtin, palmupuun ja muiden tuuheiden puiden lehviä, ja tehkää lehtimajoja, niinkuin on säädetty". ¹⁶ Ja kansa meni ja toi niitä ja teki itselleen lehtimajoja kukin katollensa ja pihoihinsa ja Jumalan temppelin esipihoihin sekä Vesiportin aukealle ja Efraimin portin aukealle. ¹⁷ Ja koko seurakunta, kaikki vankeudesta palanneet, tekivät lehtimajoja ja asuivat lehtimajoissa. Sillä aina Joosuan, Nuunin pojan, ajoista siihen päivään saakka eivät israelilaiset olleet niin tehneet. Ja vallitsi hyvin suuri ilo. ¹⁸ Ja Jumalan lain kirjaa luettiin joka päivä, ensimmäisestä päivästä viimeiseen saakka. Ja he viettivät juhlaa seitsemän päivää, ja kahdeksantena päivänä pidettiin juhlakokous säädetyllä tavalla.

Haitian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Lè setyèm mwa lanne jwif yo rive, tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo te chita lakay yo nan lavil yo. Lè sa a, yo tout nèt, yo te sanble sou plas piblik ki devan pòtay Dlo yo. Yo mande Esdras, direktè lalwa a, pou li pote liv lalwa Seyè a te bay Moyiz pou pèp Izrayèl la. ² Esdras, prèt la, pran liv la, li pote l' kote tout moun yo te reyini an: fanm, gason ak tout timoun ki te gen laj konprann. Se te premye jou nan setyèm mwa a. ³ Se konsa, sou plas ki devan pòtay Dlo yo, Esdras li nan liv lalwa a pou yo, depi granmaten jouk rive midi. Tout pèp la, fanm, gason ak tout timoun ki te gen laj konprann, te louvri zòrèy yo pou yo tande sa ki te nan liv lalwa a. ⁴ Esdras, direktè lalwa a, te kanpe sou yon lestrad an bwa yo te bati espre pou sa. Sou bò dwat li, te gen Matitya, Chema, Anaja, Ourija, Ilkija ak Maseja. Sou bò gòch li, te gen Pedaja, Mikayèl, Malkija, Achoum, Achbadana, Zakarya ak Mechoulam. ⁵ Kote Esdras te kanpe byen wo sou lestrad la, li louvri liv la devan tout moun. Lè sa a, tout pèp la leve kanpe. ⁶ Esdras di: -Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye ki gen pouvwa a. Tout pèp la leve men yo anlè, yo reponn: -Amèn! Li merite sa vre! Lèfini, yo mete ajenou, yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan Seyè a. ⁷ Apre sa, pèp la leve kanpe epi kèk moun Levi pran esplike yo lalwa a.

Lè sa a, Neemi, gouvènè a, ansanm ak Esdras, prèt direktè lalwa a, ak lòt moun Levi yo ki t'ap esplike lalwa a di moun yo konsa: -Jou sa a, se yon jou yo mete apa pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an! Pa kite lapenn anvayi kè nou! Pa kriye, mezanmi! ¹⁰ Okontrè, al lakay nou, fè fèt! Separe vyann gra ak bon ti likè nou genyen ak moun ki pa genyen, paske jou sa a se yon jou nou fèt pou mete apa pou Seyè a. Pa kite lapenn pran nou! Kontantman Bondye ap mete nan kè nou an va ban nou fòs! ¹¹ Tout moun Levi yo pran mache nan mitan tout pèp la pou fè yo pe. Yo t'ap di yo: -Pe bouch nou, mezanmi! Siye dlo nan je nou! Jou sa a se yon jou apa pou Bondye li ye! ¹² Se konsa tout pèp la al lakay yo, yo manje, yo bwè, yo separe sa yo genyen ak lòt moun.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Pada bulan tujuh orang Israel telah menetap di kotanya masing-masing. Pada tanggal satu bulan itu mereka semua berkumpul di Yerusalem, di halaman di depan Pintu Gerbang Air. Mereka meminta supaya Buku Hukum diambil oleh Imam Ezra, seorang ahli dalam Hukum yang diberikan TUHAN kepada Israel melalui Musa. ² Lalu Ezra membawa buku itu ke hadapan sidang yang terdiri dari laki-laki, wanita dan anak-anak yang cukup dewasa untuk mengerti. ³ Kemudian, dari pagi sampai siang, Ezra membacakan Hukum itu kepada mereka. Mereka semua mendengarkan dengan penuh perhatian. ⁴ Ezra berdiri di atas mimbar kayu yang telah dibuat untuk keperluan pertemuan itu. Di sebelah kanannya berdiri orang-orang ini: Matica, Sema, Anaya, Uria, Hilkia dan Maaseya; sedang di sebelah kirinya berdiri: Pedaya, Misael, Malkia, Hasum, Hasbadana, Zakharia dan Mesulam. ⁵ Panggung tempat Ezra berdiri itu lebih tinggi dari orang-orang itu, sehingga mereka semua dapat melihatnya. Segera ia membuka buku itu, mereka semua berdiri. ⁶ Ezra berkata, "Pujilah TUHAN, Allah yang besar!" Seluruh rakyat mengangkat tangan tinggi-tinggi dan menjawab, "Amin, amin!" Lalu mereka sujud menyembah Allah. ⁷ Setelah itu mereka bangkit dan berdiri di tempat masing-masing, sementara sejumlah orang Lewi menerangkan Hukum itu kepada mereka. Orang-orang Lewi itu ialah: Yesua, Bani, Serebya, Yamin, Akub, Sabetai, Hodia, Maaseya, Kelita, Azarya, Yozabad, Hanan dan Pelaya. ⁸ Mereka menterjemahkan Hukum Allah itu bagian demi bagian serta menjelaskannya sehingga rakyat dapat mengerti bacaan itu. ⁹ Mendengar pembacaan Hukum itu, rakyat menjadi sangat terharu, lalu menangis. Maka gubernur Nehemia dan Imam Ezra ahli Hukum itu, serta orang-orang Lewi yang menerangkan Hukum itu, mengatakan kepada seluruh rakyat demikian, "Hari ini hari yang khusus bagi TUHAN Allahmu, jadi jangan bersedih atau menangis. ¹⁰ Sekarang pulanglah; makanlah dan minumlah dengan gembira. Berilah sebagian dari makanan dan anggurmu kepada mereka yang berkekurangan. Hari ini hari yang khusus bagi Tuhan kita, jadi jangan bersusah. Kegembiraan yang diberikan TUHAN kepada kalian akan menguatkan kalian." ¹¹ Juga orang-orang Lewi menenangkan rakyat dan berkata berulang-ulang, "Jangan bersedih pada hari yang khusus ini." ¹² Maka pulanglah seluruh rakyat untuk makan dan minum serta membagi-bagikan makanan kepada orang-orang lain. Mereka bergembira karena telah mengerti arti bacaan yang mereka dengar itu. ¹³ Besoknya berkumpullah semua kepala kaum, para imam dan orang-orang Lewi, lalu pergi kepada Ezra untuk mempelajari ajaran-ajaran Hukum TUHAN. ¹⁴ Mereka mendapati bahwa di dalam Hukum yang diberikan TUHAN melalui Musa, TUHAN menyuruh umat Israel tinggal di dalam pondok-pondok darurat selama pesta Pondok Daun. ¹⁵ Sebab itu di seluruh Yerusalem di kota-kota dan di desa-desa, mereka mengumumkan perintah ini, "Pergilah ke pegunungan dan ambillah dahan-dahan pohon cemara, zaitun, pohon minyak, palma dan pohon-pohon lain untuk membuat pondok sesuai dengan peraturan di dalam Buku Hukum." ¹⁶ Lalu pergilah rakyat mengambil dahan-dahan itu. Mereka semua membuat pondok-pondok pada atap-atap datar di atas rumah mereka, di halaman rumahnya, di halaman depan Rumah TUHAN, di lapangan dekat Pintu Gerbang Air dan di lapangan dekat Pintu Gerbang Efraim. ¹⁷ Seluruh rakyat yang telah pulang dari pembuangan itu membuat pondok-pondok itu, lalu tinggal di situ. Inilah pertama kali hal itu dilakukan sejak zaman Yosua anak Nun, maka semuanya senang dan bahagia. ¹⁸ Tujuh hari lamanya mereka berpesta. Tiap-tiap hari bagian-bagian buku Hukum Allah dibacakan oleh Ezra. Pada hari yang kedelapan diadakan upacara penutupan, sesuai dengan peraturan Hukum.

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ALLORA tutto il popolo si adunò di pari consentimento nella piazza, che è davanti alla porta delle acque; e dissero ad Esdra, scriba, che portasse il libro della Legge di Mosè, la quale il Signore avea data ad Israele. ² E nel primo giorno del settimo mese, il sacerdote Esdra portò la Legge davanti alla raunanza, nella quale erano uomini e donne, tutti quelli ch’erano in età di conoscimento, per ascoltare. ³ Ed egli lesse nel Libro, in capo della piazza che è davanti alla porta delle acque, dallo schiarir del giorno fino a mezzodì, in presenza degli uomini, delle donne, e di coloro ch’erano in età di conoscimento; e gli orecchi di tutto il popolo erano intenti al libro della Legge. ⁴ Ed Esdra, scriba, stava in piè sopra un pergamo di legname, ch’era stato fatto per questo; ed appresso a lui a man destra stavano Mattitia, e Sema, ed Anaia, ed Uria, ed Hilchia, e Maaseia; e dalla sinistra, Pedaia, e Misael, e Malchia, ed Hasum, ed Hasbedana, e Zaccaria, e Mesullam. ⁵ Esdra dunque aperse il libro, alla vista di tutto il popolo; perciocchè egli era disopra a tutto il popolo; e come egli l’ebbe aperto, tutto il popolo si levò in piè. ⁶ Poi Esdra benedisse il Signore, il grande Iddio. E tutto il popolo rispose: Amen, Amen, alzando le mani; poi s’inchinarono, e adorarono il Signore, con le facce verso terra. ⁷ E Iesua, Bani, Serebia, Iamin, Accub, Sabbetai, Hodia, Maaseia, Chelita, Azaria, Iozabad, Hanan, Pelaia, e gli altri Leviti, dichiaravano al popolo la Legge, stando il popolo nel suo luogo. ⁸ E leggevano nel libro della Legge di Dio distintamente, e chiaramente; e, sponendone il sentimento, davano ad intendere ciò che si leggeva. ⁹ Or Neemia, che è Hattirsata, e il sacerdote Esdra, scriba, e i Leviti che ammaestravano il popolo, dissero a tutto il popolo: Questo giorno è sacro all’Iddio nostro; non fate cordoglio, e non piangete; conciossiachè tutto il popolo piangesse, udendo le parole della Legge. ¹⁰ Poi Neemia disse loro: Andate, mangiate vivande grasse, e bevete vini dolci, e mandate delle porzioni a quelli che non hanno nulla d’apparecchiato; perciocchè questo giorno è sacro al Signore nostro, e non vi contristate; conciossiachè l’allegrezza del Signore sia la vostra forza. ¹¹ E i Leviti facevano far silenzio a tutto il popolo, dicendo: Tacete; perciocchè questo giorno è sacro; e non vi contristate. ¹² E tutto il popolo se ne andò per mangiare, e per bere, e per mandar messi di vivande, e per far gran festa; perciocchè aveano intese le parole ch’erano loro state dichiarate. ¹³ E nel secondo giorno del mese, i capi delle famiglie paterne di tutto il popolo, ed i sacerdoti, ed i Leviti, si adunarono appresso d’Esdra, scriba, per essere ammaestrati nelle parole della Legge; ¹⁴ e trovarono scritto nella Legge, che il Signore avea comandato per Mosè, che i figliuoli d’Israele dimorassero in tabernacoli nella festa solenne, al settimo mese; e che questo si dovea bandire. ¹⁵ Fecero adunque andare un bando per tutte le città loro, e in Gerusalemme; dicendo: Uscite fuori al monte, e portatene rami di ulivo, e d’altri alberi oliosi, e di mirto, e di palma, e d’altri alberi folti, per far tabernacoli, come è scritto. ¹⁶ Il popolo adunque uscì fuori, e portò de’ rami, e si fecero de’ tabernacoli, ciascuno sopra il suo tetto, e ne’ lor cortili, e ne’ cortili della Casa di Dio, e nella piazza della porta delle acque, e nella piazza della porta di Efraim. ¹⁷ E così tutta la raunanza di coloro ch’erano ritornati dalla cattività fece de’ tabernacoli, e vi dimorò; perciocchè, dal tempo di Giosuè, figliuolo di Nun, infino a quel giorno, i figliuoli d’Israele, non aveano fatto nulla di simigliante; e vi fu grandissima allegrezza. ¹⁸ Ed Esdra lesse nel libro della Legge di Dio per ciascun giorno, dal primo giorno fino all’ultimo; e si celebrò la festa per lo spazio di sette giorni, e nell’ottavo giorno vi fu raunanza solenne, secondo ch’egli è ordinato.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Come fu giunto il settimo mese, e i figliuoli d’Israele si furono stabiliti nelle loro città, tutto il popolo si radunò come un sol uomo sulla piazza ch’è davanti alla porta delle Acque, e disse a Esdra, lo scriba, che portasse il libro della legge di Mosè che l’Eterno avea data a Israele. ² E il primo giorno del settimo mese, il sacerdote Esdra portò la legge davanti alla raunanza, composta d’uomini, di donne e di tutti quelli ch’eran capaci d’intendere. ³ E lesse il libro sulla piazza ch’è davanti alla porta delle Acque, dalla mattina presto fino a mezzogiorno, in presenza degli uomini, delle donne, e di quelli ch’eran capaci d’intendere; e tutto il popolo teneva tese le orecchie a sentire il libro della legge. ⁴ Esdra, lo scriba, stava sopra una tribuna di legno, ch’era stata fatta apposta, e accanto a lui stavano, a destra, Mattithia, Scema, Anania, Uria, Hilkia e Maaseia; a sinistra, Pedaia, Mishael, Malkia, Hashum, Hashbaddana, Zaccaria e Meshullam. ⁵ Esdra aprì il libro in presenza di tutto il popolo, poiché stava in luogo più eminente; e, com’ebbe aperto il libro, tutto il popolo s’alzò in piedi. ⁶ Esdra benedisse l’Eterno, l’Iddio grande, e tutto il popolo rispose: "Amen, amen", alzando le mani; e s’inchinarono, e si prostrarono con la faccia a terra dinanzi all’Eterno. ⁷ Jeshua, Bani, Scerebia, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodia, Maaseia, Kelita, Azaria, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaia e gli altri Leviti spiegavano la legge al popolo, e il popolo stava in piedi al suo posto. ⁸ Essi leggevano nel libro della legge di Dio distintamente; e ne davano il senso, per far capire ai popolo quel che s’andava leggendo. ⁹ Nehemia, ch’era il governatore, Esdra, sacerdote e scriba, e i Leviti che ammaestravano il popolo, dissero a tutto il popolo: "Questo giorno è consacrato all’Eterno, al vostro Dio; non fate cordoglio e non piangete!" Poiché tutto il popolo piangeva, ascoltando le parole della legge. ¹⁰ Poi Nehemia disse loro: "Andate, mangiate vivande grasse e bevete vini dolci, e mandate delle porzioni a quelli che nulla hanno di preparato per loro; perché questo giorno è consacrato al Signor nostro; non v’attristate; perché il gaudio dell’Eterno è la vostra forza". ¹¹ I Leviti facevano far silenzio a tutto il popolo, dicendo: "Tacete, perché questo giorno è santo; non v’attristate!" ¹² E tutto il popolo se n’andò a mangiare, a bere, a mandar porzioni ai poveri, e a far gran festa, perché aveano intese le parole ch’erano state loro spiegate. ¹³ Il secondo giorno, i capi famiglia di tutto il popolo, i sacerdoti e i Leviti si raunarono presso Esdra, lo scriba, per esaminare le parole della legge. ¹⁴ E trovarono scritto nella legge che l’Eterno avea data per mezzo di Mosè, che i figliuoli d’Israele doveano dimorare in capanne durante la festa del settimo mese, ¹⁵ e che in tutte le loro città e in Gerusalemme si dovea pubblicar questo bando: "Andate al monte, e portatene rami d’ulivo, rami d’ulivastro, rami di mirto, rami di palma e rami d’alberi ombrosi, per fare delle capanne, come sta scritto". ¹⁶ Allora il popolo andò fuori, portò i rami, e si fecero ciascuno la sua capanna sul tetto della propria casa, nei loro cortili, nei cortili della casa di Dio, sulla piazza della porta delle Acque, e sulla piazza della porta d’Efraim. ¹⁷ Così tutta la raunanza di quelli ch’eran tornati dalla cattività si fece delle capanne, e dimorò nelle capanne. Dal tempo di Giosuè, figliuolo di Nun, fino a quel giorno, i figliuoli d’Israele non avean più fatto nulla di simile. E vi fu grandissima allegrezza. ¹⁸ Ed Esdra fece la lettura del libro della legge di Dio ogni giorno, dal primo all’ultimo; la festa si celebrò durante sette giorni, e l’ottavo vi fu solenne raunanza, com’è ordinato.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Zebrał się tedy wszystek lud jednostajnie na ulicę, która jest przed bramą wodną, i rzekli do Ezdrasza, nauczonego w Piśmie, aby przyniósł księgi zakonu Mojżeszowego, który był przykazał Pan Izraelowi. ² Tedy przyniósł Ezdrasz kapłan zakon przed ono zgromadzenie mężów i niewiast, i wszystkich, którzyby rozumnie słuchać mogli; a działo się to dnia pierwszego, miesiąca siódmego. ³ I czytał w nim na onej ulicy, która jest przed bramą wodną, od poranku aż do południa przed mężami i niewiastami, i którzy zrozumieć mogli, a uszy wszystkiego ludu obrócone były do ksiąg zakonu. ⁴ I stanął Ezdrasz nauczony w Piśmie na kazalnicy, którą byli zgotowali na to, a podle niego stał Matytyjasz, i Sema, i Ananijasz, i Uryjasz, i Helkijasz, i Maasyjasz, po prawej ręce jego, a po lewej ręce jego Fedajasz, i Misael, i Malchyjasz, i Chasum, i Chasbadana, Zacharyjasz i Mesullam. ⁵ Otworzył tedy Ezdrasz księgi przed oczyma wszystkiego ludu, bo stał wyżej niż wszystek lud; a gdy je otworzył, wszystek lud powstał. ⁶ I błogosławił Ezdrasz Panu, Bogu wielkiemu, a wszystek lud odpowiadał: Amen! Amen! podnosząc ręce swoje; a nachyliwszy głowy, kłaniali się Panu twrzą ku ziemi. ⁷ Także i Jesua, i Bani, i Serebijasz, Jamin, Chakub, Sabbetaj, Hodyjasz, Maasyjasz, Kielita, Azaryjasz, Jozabad, Chanan, Felajasz, i Lewitowie nauczali ludu zakonu, a lud stał na miejscu swem. ⁸ Bo czytali w księgach zakonu Bożego wyraźnie, a wykładając zmysł objaśniali to, co czytali. ⁹ Zatem Nehemijasz (ten jest Tyrsata) i Ezdrasz kapłan, nauczony w Piśmie, i Lewitowie, którzy uczyli lud, rzekli do wszystkiego ludu: Ten dzień poświęcony jest Panu, Bogu waszemu, nie smućcież się, ani płaczcie. (Bo płakał wszystek lud, słysząc słowa zakonu.) ¹⁰ I rzekł im: Idźcież, jedzcie rzeczy tłuste a pijcie napój słodki, a posyłajcie cząstki tym, którzy sobie nic nie nagotowali; albowiem święty jest dzień Panu naszemu. Przetoż się nie frasujcie; albowiem wesele Pańskie jest siłą waszą, ¹¹ A gdy Lewitowie uczynili milczenie między wszystkim ludem, mówiąc: Milczcież, bo dzień święty jest, a nie smućcie się: ¹² Tedy odszedł wszystek lud, aby jedli i pili, i aby innym cząstki posyłali. I weselili się bardzo, przeto, że zrozumieli słowa, których i nauczano. ¹³ Potem zebrali się dnia drugiego przedniejsi domów ojcowskich ze wszystkiego ludu, kapłani i Lewitowie, do Ezdrasza nauczonego w Piśmie, aby wyrozumieli słowa zakonu. ¹⁴ I znaleźli napisane w zakonie, że rozkazał Pan przez Mojżesza, aby mieszkali synowie Izraelscy w kuczkach w święto uroczyste miesiąca siódmego; ¹⁵ A iżby to opowiedziano i obwołano we wszystkich miastach ich, i w Jeruzalemie, mówiąc: Wynijdźcie na górę, a nanoście gałęzia oliwnego, i gałęzia sosnowego, i gałęzia myrtowego, i gałęzia palmowego, i gałęzia drzewa gęstego, abyście poczynili kuczki, jako jest napisane. ¹⁶ Przetoż wyszedł lud, a nanosili i poczynili sobie kuczki, każdy na dachu swym, i w sieniach swych, i w sieniach domu Bożego, i na ulicy bramy wodnej, i na ulicy bramy Efraimowej. ¹⁷ A tak naczyniło kuczek wszystko zgromadzenie, które się wróciło z niewoli, i mieszkali w kuczkach, (choć tego nie czynili synowie Izraelscy ode dni Jozuego, syna Nunowego, aż do dnia onego;) i było wesele bardzo wielkie. ¹⁸ A Ezdrasz czytał w księgach zakonu Bożego na każdy dzień; od pierwszego dnia aż do dnia ostatniego; i obchodzili święto uroczyste przez siedm dni, a dnia ósmego było zgromadzenie według zwyczaju.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Então todo o povo se ajuntou como um só homem, na praça diante da porta das águas; e disseram a Esdras, o escriba, que trouxesse o livro da lei de Moisés, que o Senhor tinha ordenado a Israel. ² E Esdras, o sacerdote, trouxe a lei perante a congregação, tanto de homens como de mulheres, e de todos os que podiam ouvir com entendimento, no primeiro dia do sétimo mês. ³ E leu nela diante da praça que está fronteira à porta das águas, desde a alva até o meio-dia, na presença dos homens e das mulheres, e dos que podiam entender; e os ouvidos de todo o povo estavam atentos ao livro da lei. ⁴ Esdras, o escriba, ficava em pé sobre um estrado de madeira, que fizeram para esse fim e estavam em pé junto a ele, à sua direita, Matatias, Sema, Ananias, Urias, Hilquias e Massaías; e à sua esquerda, Pedaías, Misael, Malquias, Hachum, Hasbadana, Zacarias e Mechulam. ⁵ E Esdras abriu o livro à vista de todo o povo (pois estava acima de todo o povo); e, abrindo-o ele, todo o povo se pôs em pé. ⁶ Então Esdras bendisse ao Senhor, o grande Deus; e todo povo, levantando as mãos, respondeu: Amém! amém! E, inclinando-se, adoraram ao Senhor, com os rostos em terra. ⁷ Também Jesua, Bani, Cherebias, Jamin, Acub; Chabetai, Hodaías, Massaías, Quelitá, Azarias, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaías e os levitas explicavam ao povo a lei; e o povo estava em pé no seu lugar. ⁸ Assim leram no livro, na lei de Deus, distintamente; e deram o sentido, de modo que se entendesse a leitura. ⁹ E Neemias, que era o governador, e Esdras, sacerdote e escriba, e os levitas que ensinavam o povo, disseram a todo o povo: Este dia é consagrado ao Senhor vosso Deus; não pranteeis nem choreis. Pois todo o povo chorava, ouvindo as palavras da lei. ¹⁰ Disse-lhes mais: Ide, comei as gorduras, e bebei as doçuras, e enviai porções aos que não têm nada preparado para si; porque este dia é consagrado ao nosso Senhor. Portanto não vos entristeçais, pois a alegria do Senhor é a vossa força. ¹¹ Os levitas, pois, fizeram calar todo o povo, dizendo: Calai-vos, porque este dia é santo; por isso não vos entristeçais. ¹² Então todo o povo se foi para comer e beber, e para enviar porções, e para fazer grande regozijo, porque tinha entendido as palavras que lhe foram referidas. ¹³ Ora, no dia seguinte ajuntaram-se os cabeças das casas paternas de todo o povo, os sacerdotes e os levitas, na presença de Esdras, o escriba, para examinarem as palavras da lei; ¹⁴ e acharam escrito na lei que o Senhor, por intermédio de Moisés, ordenara que os filhos de Israel habitassem em cabanas durante a festa do sétimo mês; ¹⁵ e que publicassem e fizessem passar pregão por todas as suas cidades, e em ramos de oliveiras, de zambujeiros e de murtas, folhas de palmeiras, e ramos de outras árvores frondosas, para fazerdes cabanas, como está escrito. ¹⁶ Saiu, pois, o povo e trouxe os ramos; e todos fizeram para si cabanas, cada um no eirado da sua casa, nos seus pátios, nos átrios da casa de Deus, na praça da porta das águas, e na praça da porta de Efraim. ¹⁷ E toda a comunidade dos que tinham voltado do cativeiro fez cabanas, e habitaram nelas; pois não tinham feito assim os filhos de Israel desde os dias de Josué, filho de Num, até aquele dia. E houve mui grande regozijo. ¹⁸ E Esdras leu no livro da lei de Deus todos os dias, desde o primeiro até o último; e celebraram a festa por sete dias, e no oitavo dia houve uma assembleia solene, segundo a ordenança.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Og alt folket samlet sig som en mann på plassen foran Vannporten; og de bad Esras, den skriftlærde, om å hente boken med Mose lov, som Herren hadde gitt Israel. ² Og presten Esras bar loven frem for menigheten, både for menn og kvinner og alle som kunde forstå hvad de hørte; det var den første dag i den syvende måned. ³ Og han leste op av den midt for plassen foran Vannporten fra tidlig morgen til midt på dagen - for mennene og kvinnene og dem som kunde forstå; og alt folket lyttet til lovbokens ord. ⁴ Esras, den skriftlærde, stod på en forhøining av tre, som var blitt reist til dette, og ved siden av ham stod Mattitja, Sema, Anaja, Uria, Hilkia og Ma'aseja til høire for ham, og til venstre for ham Pedaja, Misael, Malkia, Hasum, Hasbaddana, Sakarja og Mesullam. ⁵ Og Esras åpnet boken for alt folkets øine; for han stod høiere enn alt folket; og da han åpnet den, reiste alt folket sig. ⁶ Esras lovet Herren, den store Gud, og alt folket svarte med opløftede hender: Amen, amen, og de bøide sig og kastet sig ned for Herren med ansiktet til jorden. ⁷ Og Josva, Bani, Serebja, Jamin, Akkub, Sabbetai, Hodia, Ma'aseja, Kelita, Asarja, Josabad, Hanan, Pelaja og de andre levitter utla loven for folket, mens folket blev stående på sin plass. ⁸ De leste op av boken - av Guds lov - de tolket og utla den for folket, så de skjønte det som blev lest. ⁹ Og stattholderen Nehemias og presten Esras, den skriftlærde, og levittene som lærte folket, sa til alt folket: Denne dag er helliget Herren eders Gud, sørg ikke og gråt ikke! For alt folket gråt da de hørte lovens ord. ¹⁰ Så sa han til dem: Gå nu og et fete retter og drikk søte drikker og send gaver derav til dem for hvem intet er tillaget, for dagen er helliget vår Herre, og sørg ikke, for glede i Herren er eders styrke! ¹¹ Også levittene søkte å få alt folket til å holde sig rolig og sa: Vær stille, for dagen er hellig; sørg ikke! ¹² Da gikk alt folket bort og åt og drakk og sendte gaver omkring og holdt en stor gledesfest; for de hadde forstått det som var blitt talt til dem. ¹³ Dagen efter samlet alt folkets familiehoder, prestene og levittene sig hos Esras, den skriftlærde, for å få nærmere rede på lovens ord. ¹⁴ De fant da skrevet i loven - den lov som Herren hadde gitt ved Moses - at Israels barn skulde bo i løvhytter på festen i den syvende måned, ¹⁵ og at de skulde kunngjøre og la utrope i alle sine byer og i Jerusalem: Gå ut på fjellene og hent løv av oljetrær og av ville oljetrær og av myrter og av palmer og av andre løvrike trær og gjør løvhytter, som foreskrevet er. ¹⁶ Da gikk folket ut og hentet løv, og de gjorde sig løvhytter, hver på sitt tak og på sine tun og likeledes i forgårdene til Guds hus og på plassen ved Vannporten og på plassen ved Efra'im-porten. ¹⁷ Og hele menigheten, de som var kommet tilbake fra fangenskapet, gjorde løvhytter og bodde i dem; for fra Josvas, Nuns sønns dager like til denne dag hadde Israels barn ikke gjort dette. Og der var en overmåte stor glede. ¹⁸ Dag efter dag leste de op av Guds lovbok, fra den første dag til den siste; de holdt høitid i syv dager og på den åttende dag en festlig sammenkomst, som påbudt var.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Cînd a venit luna a şaptea, copiii lui Israel erau în cetăţile lor. Atunci tot poporul s'a strîns ca un singur om pe locul deschis dinaintea porţii apelor. Au zis cărturarului Ezra să se ducă să ia cartea Legii lui Moise, dată de Domnul lui Israel. ² Şi preotul Ezra a adus Legea înaintea adunării, alcătuită din bărbaţi şi femei şi din toţi cei ce erau în stare s'o înţeleagă. Era întîia zi a lunii a şaptea. ³ Ezra a citit în carte de dimineaţă pînă la amează, pe locul deschis dinaintea porţii apelor, în faţa bărbaţilor şi femeilor şi în faţa celor ce erau în stare s'o înţeleagă. Tot poporul a fost cu luare aminte la cetirea cărţii Legii. ⁴ Cărturarul Ezra stătea pe un scaun de lemn, ridicat cu prilejul acesta. Lîngă el, la dreapta, stăteau Matitia, Şema, Anaia, Urie, Hilchia şi Maaseia, şi la stînga: Pedaia, Mişael, Malchia, Haşum, Haşbadana, Zaharia şi Meşulam. ⁵ Ezra a deschis cartea înaintea întregului popor, căci stătea mai sus de cît tot poporul. Şi cînd a deschis -o, tot poporul s'a sculat. ⁶ Ezra a binecuvîntat pe Domnul, Dumnezeul cel mare, şi tot poporul a răspuns ridicînd mînile:,,Amin! Amin!`` Şi s'au plecat şi s'au închinat înaintea Domnului, cu faţa la pămînt. ⁷ Iosua, Bani, Şerebia, Iamin, Acub, Şabetai, Hodia, Maaseia, Chelita, Azaria, Iozabad, Hanan, Pelaia, şi Leviţii, lămureau poporului Legea, şi fiecare stătea la locul lui. ⁸ Ei citeau desluşit în cartea Legii lui Dumnezeu, şi -i arătau înţelesul, ca să -i facă să înţeleagă ce citiseră. ⁹ Dregătorul Neemia, preotul şi cărturarul Ezra, şi Leviţii cari învăţau pe popor, au zis întregului popor:,,Ziua aceasta este închinată Domnului, Dumnezeului vostru; să nu vă bociţi şi să nu plîngeţi!`` Căci tot poporul plîngea cînd a auzit cuvintele Legii. ¹⁰ Ei le-au zis:,,Duceţi-vă de mîncaţi cărnuri grase şi beţi băuturi dulci, şi trimeteţi cîte o parte şi celor ce n'au nimic pregătit, căci ziua aceasta este închinată Domnului nostru; nu vă mîhniţi, căci bucuria Domnului va fi tăria voastră.`` ¹¹ Leviţii potoleau pe tot poporul, zicînd:,,Tăceţi, căci ziua aceasta este sfîntă; nu vă mîhniţi!`` ¹² Şi tot poporul s'a dus să mănînce şi să bea. Şi au trimes cîte o parte şi altora, şi s'au veselit mult. Căci înţeleseseră cuvintele cari li se tîlcuiseră. ¹³ A doua zi, capii de familie din tot poporul, preoţii şi Leviţii, s'au strîns la cărturarul Ezra, ca să audă tîlcuirea cuvintelor Legii. ¹⁴ Şi au găsit scris în Lege că Domnul poruncise prin Moise, că fiii lui Israel trebuie să locuiască în corturi, în timpul sărbătorii lunii a şaptea. ¹⁵ Atunci au trimes să răspîndească vestea aceasta în toate cetăţile lor şi la Ierusalim:,,Duceţi-vă la munte şi aduceţi ramuri de măslin, ramuri de măslin sălbatic, ramuri de mirt, ramuri de finic, şi ramuri de copaci stufoşi, ca să faceţi corturi, cum este scris.`` ¹⁶ Atunci poporul s'a dus şi a adus ramuri, şi au făcut corturi pe acoperişul caselor lor, în curţile lor, în curţile Casei lui Dumnezeu, pe locul deschis dinaintea porţii apelor şi pe locul deschis dela poarta lui Efraim. ¹⁷ Toată adunarea celor ce se întorseseră din robie a făcut corturi şi au locuit în aceste corturi. Din vremea lui Iosua, fiul lui Nun, pînă în ziua aceasta, nu mai făcuseră copiii lui Israel aşa ceva. Şi a fost foarte mare veselie. ¹⁸ Au citit în cartea Legii lui Dumnezeu în fiecare zi, din cea dintîi zi pînă la cea din urmă. Au prăznuit sărbătoarea şapte zile, şi a fost o adunare de sărbătoare în ziua a opta, cum este poruncit.

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ І зібрався ввесь народ, як один чоловік, на майдан, що перед Водною брамою, і сказали учителеві Ездрі принести книги Мойсеєвого Закону, що наказав був Господь Ізраїлеві. ² І приніс священик Ездра Закона перед збори з чоловіків та аж до жінок, і всіх, хто розумів чуте, першого дня сьомого місяця. ³ І читав він у нім на майдані, що перед Водною брамою, від світанку аж до полудня, перед чоловіками й жінками та тими, хто розуміє, а уші всього народу були звернені до книги Закону. ⁴ І стояв учитель Ездра на дерев'яному підвищенні, що зробили для цієї справи, а при ньому стояв Маттітія, і Шема, і Аная, і Урійя, і Хілкійя, і Маасея на правиці його, а на лівиці його: Педая, і Мішаїл, і Малкійя, і Хашум, і Хашбаддана, Захарій, Мешуллам. ⁵ І розгорнув Ездра цю книгу на очах усього народу, бо він був вище від усього народу, а коли він розгорнув, увесь народ устав. ⁶ І поблагословив Ездра Господа, Бога великого, а ввесь народ відповів: Амінь, Амінь! з піднесенням своїх рук. І всі схилялися, і вклонялися Господеві обличчям до землі! ⁷ А Ісус, і Бані, і Шеревея, Ямін, Аккув, Шаббетай, Годійя, Маасея, Келіта, Азарія, Йозавад, Ханан, Пелая та Левити пояснювали народові Закона, а народ був на своєму місці. ⁸ І читали в книзі, у Божому Законі виразно, і вияснювали значення, і робили зрозумілим читане. ⁹ І сказав намісник Неемія, і священик учитель Ездра й Левити, що вияснювали народові, до всього народу: День цей святий він для Господа, Бога вашого, не будьте в жалобі й не плачте! Бо плакав увесь народ, як почув слова Закону... ¹⁰ І сказав він до них: Ідіть, їжте сите та пийте солодке, і посилайте частки тому, в кого нема наготовленого. Бо святий цей день для нашого Господа, і не сумуйте, бо радість у Господі це ваша сила! ¹¹ І Левити потішали ввесь народ, говорячи: Мовчіть, бо цей день святий, і не сумуйте! ¹² І пішов увесь народ їсти та пити, і посилати частки та чинити велику радість, бо розумів ті слова, що розповіли йому. ¹³ А другого дня зібралися голови батьківських родів усього народу, священики та Левити, до вчителя Ездри, щоб він виясняв їм слова Закону. ¹⁴ І знайшли написане в Законі, що наказав був Господь через Мойсея, щоб Ізраїлеві сини сиділи в кучках у свято сьомого місяця, ¹⁵ і щоб розголосили й оголосили по всіх своїх містах та в Єрусалимі, говорячи: Вийдіть на гору, і понаносьте галуззя оливкового, і галуззя дерева оливкового, і галуззя миртового, і галуззя пальмового, і галуззя густолистого дерева, щоб поробити кучки, як написано. ¹⁶ І вийшов народ, і поназношували, і поробили собі кучки кожен на даху своїм, і в подвір'ях своїх, і в подвір'ях Божого дому, і на майдані Водної брами, і на майдані брами Єфремової. ¹⁷ І поробила кучки вся громада, що вернулася з полону, і сиділа в кучках, бо не робили так Ізраїлеві сини від днів Ісуса, Навинового сина, аж до дня цього. І була дуже велика радість! ¹⁸ І читали в книзі Божого Закону щоденно, від першого дня аж до дня останнього. І справляли свято сім день; а восьмого дня віддання, за уставом.
