SMITH VAN DYKENEW AMERICAN BIBLE
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.1 Now when the seventh month came, the whole people gathered as one man in the open space before the Water Gate, and they called upon Ezra the scribe to bring forth the book of the law of Moses which the LORD prescribed for Israel.
2 فأتى عزرا الكاتب بالشريعة امام الجماعة من الرجال والنساء وكل فاهم ما يسمع في اليوم الاول من الشهر السابع.2 On the first day of the seventh month, therefore, Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly, which consisted of men, women, and those children old enough to understand.
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.3 Standing at one end of the open place that was before the Water Gate, he read out of the book from daybreak till midday, in the presence of the men, the women, and those children old enough to understand; and all the people listened attentively to the book of the law.
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.4 Ezra the scribe stood on a wooden platform that had been made for the occasion; at his right side stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, and on his left Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, Meshullam.
5 وفتح عزرا السفر امام كل الشعب لانه كان فوق كل الشعب وعندما فتحه وقف كل الشعب.5 Ezra opened the scroll so that all the people might see it (for he was standing higher up than any of the people); and, as he opened it, all the people rose.
6 وبارك عزرا الرب الاله العظيم. واجاب جميع الشعب آمين آمين رافعين ايديهم وخرّوا وسجدوا للرب على وجوههم الى الارض.6 Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God, and all the people, their hands raised high, answered, "Amen, amen!" Then they bowed down and prostrated themselves before the LORD, their faces to the ground.
7 ويشوع وباني وشربيا ويامين وعقوب وشبتاي وهوديا ومعسيا وقليطا وعزريا ويوزاباد وحنان وفلايا واللاويون افهموا الشعب الشريعة والشعب في اماكنهم.7 (The Levites Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, and Pelaiah explained the law to the people, who remained in their places.)
8 وقرأوا في السفر في شريعة الله ببيان وفسروا المعنى وافهموهم القراءة8 Ezra read plainly from the book of the law of God, interpreting it so that all could understand what was read.
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.9 Then (Nehemiah, that is, His Excellency, and) Ezra the priest-scribe (and the Levites who were instructing the people) said to all the people: "Today is holy to the LORD your God. Do not be sad, and do not weep"-for all the people were weeping as they heard the words of the law.
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.10 He said further: "Go, eat rich foods and drink sweet drinks, and allot portions to those who had nothing prepared; for today is holy to our LORD. Do not be saddened this day, for rejoicing in the LORD must be your strength!"
11 وكان اللاويون يسكتون كل الشعب قائلين اسكتوا لان اليوم مقدس فلا تحزنوا.11 (And the Levites quieted all the people, saying, "Hush, for today is holy, and you must not be saddened.")
12 فذهب كل الشعب ليأكلوا ويشربوا ويبعثوا انصبة ويعملوا فرحا عظيما لانهم فهموا الكلام الذي علموهم اياه12 Then all the people went to eat and drink, to distribute portions, and to celebrate with great joy, for they understood the words that had been expounded to them.
13 وفي اليوم الثاني اجتمع رؤوس آباء جميع الشعب والكهنة واللاويون الى عزرا الكاتب ليفهمهم كلام الشريعة.13 On the second day, the family heads of the whole people and also the priests and the Levites gathered around Ezra the scribe and examined the words of the law more closely.
14 فوجدوا مكتوبا في الشريعة التي امر بها الرب عن يد موسى ان بني اسرائيل يسكنون في مظال في العيد في الشهر السابع14 They found it written in the law prescribed by the LORD through Moses that the Israelites must dwell in booths during the feast of the seventh month;
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.15 and that they should have this proclamation made throughout their cities and in Jerusalem: "Go out into the hill country and bring in branches of olive trees, oleasters, myrtle, palm, and other leafy trees, to make booths, as the law prescribes."
16 فخرج الشعب وجلبوا وعملوا لانفسهم مظال كل واحد على سطحه وفي دورهم ودور بيت الله وفي ساحة باب الماء وفي ساحة باب افرايم.16 The people went out and brought in branches with which they made booths for themselves, on the roof of their houses, in their courtyards, in the courts of the house of God, and in the open spaces of the Water Gate and the Gate of Ephraim.
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.17 Thus the entire assembly of the returned exiles made booths and dwelt in them. Now the Israelites had done nothing of this sort from the days of Jeshua, son of Nun, until this occasion; therefore there was very great joy.
18 وكان يقرأ في سفر شريعة الله يوما فيوما من اليوم الاول الى اليوم الاخير وعملوا عيدا سبعة ايام وفي اليوم الثامن اعتكاف حسب المرسوم18 Ezra read from the book of the law of God day after day, from the first day to the last. They kept the feast for seven days, and the solemn assembly on the eighth day, as was required.
