Nehemiah 8
Maori Bible
8 Na ka huihui te iwi katoa, ano he tangata kotahi, ki te marae i te kuwaha wai, a ka mea ki a Etera karaipi kia mauria mai te pukapuka o te ture a Mohi, o tera i whakahaua e Ihowa ki a Iharaira.
2 Na ka mauria mai e Etera tohunga te ture ki te aroaro o te whakaminenga, o te tane, o te wahine, o te hunga katoa e mohio ana ki te whakarongo, i te ra tuatahi o te whitu o nga marama.
3 A ka korerotia e ia i te marae i te kuwaha wai, i te ata iho a taea noatia a waenganui o te ra, i te aroaro o nga tane, o nga wahine, o te hunga whai whakaaro; na tau tonu mai nga taringa o te iwi katoa ki te pukapuka o te ture.
4 I tu ano a Etera karaipi i runga i te turanga rakau i hanga nei hei mea pera, me te tu ano a Matitia, a Hema, a Anaia, a Uria, a Hirikia, a Maaheia ki tona taha ki matau, a ki tona taha ki maui ko Peraia, ko Mihaera, ko Marakia, ko Hahumu, ko Hah aparana, ko Hakaraia, ko Mehurama.
5 Na wherahia ana e Etera te pukapuka i te aroaro o te iwi katoa; i runga ake hoki ia i te iwi katoa; a i tana wherahanga, tu ana te iwi katoa.
6 Na ka whakapai a Etera ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua nui; a ka whakahokia e te iwi katoa, Amine, Amine, me te ara ano o ratou ringa: na tuohu ana ratou, koropiko ana ki a Ihowa, me te ahu ano nga kanohi ki te whenua.
7 Ko Hehua ano, ko Pani, ko Herepia, ko Iamini, ko Akupu, ko Hapetai, ko Horiia, ko Maaheia, ko Kerita, ko Ataria, ko Iotapara, ko Hanana, ko Peraia, me nga Riwaiti, kei te whakamarama i te iwi ki te ture: tu tonu hoki tera te iwi.
8 A marama tonu ta ratou korero i te pukapuka o te ture, me te whakaatu ano i nga tikanga, me te whakamarama ano i a ratou i te korerotanga.
9 Na ka mea a Nehemia, ko ia nei te kawana, a Etera tohunga, te karaipi, me nga Riwaiti i whakaako nei i te iwi, ki te iwi katoa, He ra tapu tenei na Ihowa, na to koutou Atua; kaua e tangi, kaua e pouri. I te tangi hoki te iwi katoa i to ratou rong onga i nga kupu o te ture.
10 Katahi ia ka mea ki a ratou, Haere, kainga nga mea momona, inumia nga mea reka, hoatu ano etahi wahi kia kawea ma te hunga kahore nei i taka he mea ma ratou; he ra tapu hoki tenei na to tatou Ariki; kaua hoki e pouri; kei te koa hoki ki a Ihowa he kaha mo koutou.
11 Heoi i whakamarie nga Riwaiti i te iwi katoa, i mea, Whakarongoa; he tapu hoki te ra nei, kaua hoki e pouri.
12 Na haere ana te iwi katoa ki te kai, ki te inu, ki te hoatu i etahi wahi ma etahi, ki te whakanui i te hari, no ratou ka mohio ki nga kupu i whakapuakina nei ki a ratou.
13 Na i te rua o nga ra ka huihui nga ariki o nga whare o nga matua o te iwi katoa, ratou ko nga tohunga, ko nga Riwaiti, ki a Etera karaipi, kia mohiotia ai nga kupu o te ture.
14 Na ka kitea he mea i tuhituhia ki te ture i whakahaua e Ihowa, ara e Mohi, mo nga tama a Iharaira kia noho ki nga tihokahoka i te hakari i te whitu o nga marama;
15 Kia karanga nui hoki, kia paku te reo ki o ratou pa katoa, ki Hiruharama hoki, kia mea, Haere ki te maunga, tikina he rau oriwa, he rau rakau hinu, he rau ramarama, he rau nikau, he rau rakau rau maha, hei hanga mo nga tihokahoka, kia rite ai ki te mea i tuhituhia.
16 Heoi kua puta te iwi ki waho, kei te tiki, hanga ana e ratou he tihokahoka mo ratou ki te tuanui o te whare o tenei, o tenei, ki o ratou marae, ki nga marae ano o te whare o te Atua, ki te marae i te kuwaha wai, ki te marae i te kuwaha o Eparaim a.
17 Na kua hanga he tihokahoka e te whakaminenga katoa o te hunga i hoki mai i te whakarau, a noho ana i raro i nga tihokahoka; kihai hoki nga tama a Iharaira i pera, o nga ra ano i a Hohua tama a Nunu a taea noatia taua ra. A nui atu te koa.
18 I korerotia ano e ia te pukapuka o te ture a te Atua i tenei ra, i tenei ra, i te ra tuatahi a tae noa ki te ra whakamutunga. Na e whitu nga ra i mahi ai ratou i te hakari, a i te waru o nga ra, ko te huihuinga nui, ko te mea i whakaritea.
Nehemiah 8
New International Version
Nehemiah 8
New International Version
8 1 all the people came together as one in the square before the Water Gate.(A) They told Ezra the teacher of the Law to bring out the Book of the Law of Moses,(B) which the Lord had commanded for Israel.
2 So on the first day of the seventh month(C) Ezra the priest brought the Law(D) before the assembly, which was made up of men and women and all who were able to understand. 3 He read it aloud from daybreak till noon as he faced the square before the Water Gate(E) in the presence of the men, women and others who could understand. And all the people listened attentively to the Book of the Law.
4 Ezra the teacher of the Law stood on a high wooden platform(F) built for the occasion. Beside him on his right stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah and Maaseiah; and on his left were Pedaiah, Mishael, Malkijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah and Meshullam.
5 Ezra opened the book. All the people could see him because he was standing(G) above them; and as he opened it, the people all stood up. 6 Ezra praised the Lord, the great God; and all the people lifted their hands(H) and responded, “Amen! Amen!” Then they bowed down and worshiped the Lord with their faces to the ground.
7 The Levites(I)—Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan and Pelaiah—instructed(J) the people in the Law while the people were standing there. 8 They read from the Book of the Law of God, making it clear[a] and giving the meaning so that the people understood what was being read.
9 Then Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and teacher of the Law, and the Levites(K) who were instructing the people said to them all, “This day is holy to the Lord your God. Do not mourn or weep.”(L) For all the people had been weeping as they listened to the words of the Law.
10 Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing(M) prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy(N) of the Lord is your strength.”
11 The Levites calmed all the people, saying, “Be still, for this is a holy day. Do not grieve.”
12 Then all the people went away to eat and drink, to send portions of food and to celebrate with great joy,(O) because they now 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 the Levites, gathered around Ezra the teacher to give attention to the words of the Law. 14 They found written in the Law, which the Lord had commanded through Moses, that the Israelites were to live in temporary shelters(P) during the festival of the seventh month 15 and that they should proclaim this word and spread it throughout their towns and in Jerusalem: “Go out into the hill country and bring back branches from olive and wild olive trees, and from myrtles, palms and shade trees, to make temporary shelters”—as it is written.[b]
16 So the people went out and brought back branches and built themselves temporary shelters on their own roofs, in their courtyards, in the courts of the house of God and in the square by the Water Gate(Q) and the one by the Gate of Ephraim.(R) 17 The whole company that had returned from exile built temporary shelters and lived in them.(S) From the days of Joshua son of Nun until that day, the Israelites had not celebrated(T) it like this. And their joy was very great.
18 Day after day, from the first day to the last, Ezra read(U) from the Book of the Law(V) of God. They celebrated the festival for seven days, and on the eighth day, in accordance with the regulation,(W) there was an assembly.(X)
