Nehemiah 8
|
| Когда наступил седьмой месяц, и сыны Израилевы [жили] по городам своим, тогда собрался весь народ, как один человек, на площадь, которая пред Водяными воротами, и сказали книжнику Ездре, чтобы он принес книгу закона Моисеева, который заповедал Господь Израилю. | And when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their towns. And all the people came together like one man into the wide place in front of the water-doorway; and they made a request to Ezra the scribe that he would put before them the book of the law of Moses which the Lord had given to Israel. |
| И принес священник Ездра закон пред собрание мужчин и женщин, и всех, которые могли понимать, в первый день седьмого месяца; | And Ezra the priest put the law before the meeting of the people, before the men and women and all those who were able to take it in, on the first day of the seventh month. |
| 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. | He was reading it in the wide place in front of the water-doorway, from early morning till the middle of the day, in the hearing of all those men and women whose minds were able to take it in; and the ears of all the people were open to the book of the law. |
| 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. | And Ezra the scribe took his place on a tower of wood which they had made for the purpose; and 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. |
| И открыл Ездра книгу пред глазами всего народа, потому что он стоял выше всего народа. И когда он открыл ее, весь народ встал. | And Ezra took the book, opening it before the eyes of all the people (for he was higher than the people); and when it was open, all the people got to their feet: |
| И благословил Ездра Господа Бога великого. И весь народ отвечал: аминь, аминь, поднимая вверх руки свои, --и поклонялись и повергались пред Господом лицем до земли. | And Ezra gave praise to the Lord, the great God. And all the people in answer said, So be it, so be it; lifting up their hands; and with bent heads they gave worship to the Lord, going down on their faces to the earth. |
| 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. | 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. |
| И читали из книги, из закона Божия, внятно, и присоединяли толкование, и [народ] понимал прочитанное. | And they gave out the words of the book the law of God, clearly, and gave the sense of it, so that their minds were able to take it in. |
| Тогда Неемия, он же Тиршафа, и книжник Ездра, священник, и левиты, учившие народ, сказали всему народу: день сей свят Господу Богу вашему; не печальтесь и не плачьте, потому что весь народ плакал, слушая слова закона. | And Nehemiah, who was the Tirshatha, 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 the Lord your God; let there be no sorrow or weeping; for all the people were weeping on hearing the words of the law. |
| 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. | Then 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: for this day is holy to our Lord: and let there be no grief in your hearts; for the joy of the Lord is your strong place. |
| И левиты успокаивали весь народ, говоря: перестаньте, ибо день сей свят, не печальтесь. | So the Levites made all the people quiet, saying, Be quiet, for the day is holy; and do not give way to grief. |
| И пошел весь народ есть, и пить, и посылать части, и праздновать с великим веселием, ибо поняли слова, которые сказали им. | And all the people went away to take food and drink, and to send food to others, and to be glad, because the words which were said to them had been made clear. |
| На другой день собрались главы поколений от всего народа, священники и левиты к книжнику Ездре, чтобы он изъяснял им слова закона. | And on 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. |
| И нашли написанное в законе, который Господь дал чрез Моисея, чтобы сыны Израилевы в седьмом месяце, в праздник, жили в кущах. | And they saw that it was recorded in the law that the Lord had given orders by Moses, that the children of Israel were to have tents for their living-places in the feast of the seventh month: |
| 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. | And that they were to give out 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 and of myrtle, and palm branches and branches of thick trees, to make tents, as it says in the book. |
| 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. | And 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-doorway, and the wide place of the doorway of Ephraim. |
| 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. | All the people who had been prisoners and had come back, made tents and were living in them: for from the time of Jeshua, the son of Nun, till that day, the children of Israel had not done so. And there was very great joy. |
| 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. | And day by day, from the first day till the last, he was reading from the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast for seven days: and on the eighth day there was a holy meeting, as it is ordered in the law. |
