Vamvas Modern Greek Bible: Vamvas (1850)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Συνήχθη δε πας ο λαός, ως εις άνθρωπος, εις την πλατείαν την έμπροσθεν της πύλης των υδάτων· και είπον προς Έσδραν τον γραμματέα, να φέρη το βιβλίον του νόμου του Μωϋσέως, τον οποίον ο Κύριος προσέταξεν εις τον Ισραήλ.
1 All the people gathered themselves together as one man into the wide place that was in front of the water gate; and they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which Yahweh had commanded to Israel.
2 Και την πρώτην ημέραν του εβδόμου μηνός έφερεν Έσδρας ο ιερεύς τον νόμον έμπροσθεν της συνάξεως ανδρών τε και γυναικών και πάντων των δυναμένων να εννοώσιν ακούοντες.
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 Και ανέγνωσεν εν αυτώ, εν τη πλατεία τη έμπροσθεν της πύλης των υδάτων, από της αυγής μέχρι της μεσημβρίας, ενώπιον των ανδρών και των γυναικών και των δυναμένων να εννοώσι· και τα ώτα παντός του λαού προσείχον εις το βιβλίον του νόμου.
3 He read from it before the wide place that was in front of the water gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women, and of those who could understand. The ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law.
4 Ίστατο δε Έσδρας ο γραμματεύς επί βήματος ξυλίνου, το οποίον έκαμον επίτηδες· και πλησίον αυτού ίστατο Ματταθίας και Σεμά και Αναΐας και Ουρίας και Χελκίας και Μαασίας, εκ δεξιών αυτού· εξ αριστερών δε αυτού Φεδαΐας και Μισαήλ και Μαλχίας και Ασούμ και Ασβαδανά, Ζαχαρίας και Μεσουλλάμ.
4 Ezra the scribe stood on a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam.
5 Και ήνοιξεν ο Έσδρας το βιβλίον ενώπιον παντός του λαού· διότι ήτο υπεράνω παντός του λαού· και ότε ήνοιξεν αυτό, πας ο λαός ηγέρθη.
5 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 Και ηυλόγησεν ο Έσδρας τον Κύριον, τον Θεόν τον μέγαν. Και πας ο λαός απεκρίθη, Αμήν, Αμήν, υψόνοντες τας χείρας αυτών· και κύψαντες, προσεκύνησαν τον Κύριον με τα πρόσωπα επί την γην.
6 Then Ezra blessed Yahweh, the great God. All the people answered, “Amen, Amen,” with the lifting up of their hands. They bowed their heads, and worshiped Yahweh with their faces to the ground.
7 Ιησούς δε και Βανί και Σερεβίας, Ιαμείν, Ακκούβ, Σαββεθαΐ, Ωδίας, Μαασίας, Κελιτά, Αζαρίας, Ιωζαβάδ, Ανάν, Φελαΐας και οι Λευΐται εξήγουν τον νόμον εις τον λαόν· και ο λαός ίστατο εν τω τόπω αυτού.
7 Also Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law; and the people stayed in their place.
8 Και ανέγνωσαν εν τω βιβλίω του νόμου του Θεού ευκρινώς, και έδωκαν την έννοιαν και εξήγησαν τα αναγινωσκόμενα.
8 They read in the book, in the law of God, distinctly; and they gave the sense, so that they understood the reading.
9 Και ο Νεεμίας, ούτος είναι ο Θιρσαθά, και Έσδρας ο ιερεύς ο γραμματεύς, και οι Λευΐται οι εξηγούντες εις τον λαόν, είπον προς πάντα τον λαόν, Η ημέρα αύτη είναι αγία εις Κύριον τον Θεόν σας· μη πενθείτε μηδέ κλαίετε. Διότι πας ο λαός έκλαιεν, ως ήκουσαν τους λόγους του νόμου.
9 Nehemiah, who was the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, “Today is holy to Yahweh your God. Don’t mourn, nor weep.” For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law.
10 Και είπε προς αυτούς, Υπάγετε, φάγετε παχέα και πίετε γλυκάσματα, και αποστείλατε μερίδας προς τους μη έχοντας μηδέν ητοιμασμένον· διότι η ημέρα είναι αγία εις τον Κύριον ημών· και μη λυπείσθε· διότι η χαρά του Κυρίου είναι η ισχύς σας.
10 Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared, for today is holy to our Lord. Don’t be grieved, for the joy of Yahweh is your strength.”
11 Και κατεσίγασαν οι Λευΐται πάντα τον λαόν, λέγοντες, Ησυχάζετε· διότι η ημέρα είναι αγία· και μη λυπείσθε.
11 So the Levites calmed all the people, saying, “Hold your peace, for the day is holy. Don’t be grieved.”
12 Και απήλθε πας ο λαός, διά να φάγωσι και να πίωσι και να αποστείλωσι μερίδας και να κάμωσιν ευφροσύνην μεγάλην, διότι ενόησαν τους λόγους τους οποίους εφανέρωσαν εις αυτούς.
12 All the people went their way to eat, to drink, to send portions, and to celebrate, because they had understood the words that were declared to them.
13 Και την δευτέραν ημέραν συνήχθησαν οι άρχοντες των πατριών παντός του λαού, οι ιερείς και οι Λευΐται, προς Έσδραν τον γραμματέα, διά να διδαχθώσι τους λόγους του νόμου.
13 On the second day, the heads of fathers’ households of all the people, the priests, and the Levites were gathered together to Ezra the scribe, to study the words of the law.
14 Και εύρηκαν γεγραμμένον εν τω νόμω, τον οποίον προσέταξεν ο Κύριος διά του Μωϋσέως, να κατοικήσωσιν οι υιοί Ισραήλ εν σκηναίς εν τη εορτή του εβδόμου μηνός·
14 They found written in the law how Yahweh had commanded by Moses that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month;
15 και να δημοσιεύσωσι και να διακηρύξωσιν εις πάσας τας πόλεις αυτών και εις την Ιερουσαλήμ, λέγοντες, Εξέλθετε εις το όρος και φέρετε κλάδους ελαίας και κλάδους αγριελαίας και κλάδους μυρσίνης και κλάδους φοινίκων και κλάδους δασυφύλλων δένδρων, διά να κάμητε σκηνάς, κατά το γεγραμμένον.
15 and that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities and in Jerusalem, saying, “Go out to the mountain, and get olive branches, branches of wild olive, myrtle branches, palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make temporary shelters, as it is written.”
16 Και εξελθών ο λαός έφερε, και έκαμον εις εαυτούς σκηνάς, έκαστος επί του δώματος αυτού, και εν ταις αυλαίς αυτών και εν ταις αυλαίς του οίκου του Θεού και εν τη πλατεία της πύλης των υδάτων και εν τη πλατεία της πύλης του Εφραΐμ.
16 So the people went out and brought them, and made themselves temporary shelters, everyone on the roof of his house, in their courts, in the courts of God’s house, in the wide place of the water gate, and in the wide place of Ephraim’s gate.
17 Και πάσα η σύναξις των επιστρεψάντων από της αιχμαλωσίας έκαμον σκηνάς, και εκάθησαν εν ταις σκηναίς· διότι από των ημερών Ιησού υιού του Ναυή μέχρι εκείνης της ημέρας, οι υιοί Ισραήλ δεν είχον κάμει ούτω. Και έγεινεν ευφροσύνη μεγάλη σφόδρα.
17 All the assembly of those who had come back out of the captivity made temporary shelters and lived in the temporary shelters, for since the days of Joshua the son of Nun to that day the children of Israel had not done so. There was very great gladness.
18 Και καθ' εκάστην ημέραν, από της πρώτης ημέρας μέχρι της τελευταίας ημέρας, ανεγίνωσκεν εν τω βιβλίω του νόμου του Θεού. Και έκαμον εορτήν επτά ημέρας· την δε ογδόην ημέραν πάνδημον σύναξιν, κατά το διατεταγμένον.
18 Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. They kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the ordinance.
