1 이스라엘 子孫(자손)이 그 本城(본성)에 居(거)하였더니 七月(칠월)에 이르러는 모든 百姓(백성)이 一齊(일제)히 水門(수문) 앞 廣場(광장)에 모여 學士(학사) 에스라에게 여호와께서 이스라엘에게 命(명)하신 모세의 律法冊(율법책)을 가지고 오기를 請(청)하매

all the people assembled as one man in the square before the Water Gate. They told Ezra the scribe to bring out the Book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded for Israel.

And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel.

2 七月(칠월) 一日(일일)에 祭司長(제사장) 에스라가 律法冊(율법책)을 가지고 男子(남자), 女子(여자) 무릇 알아 들을 만한 會衆(회중) 앞에 이르러

3 水門(수문) 앞 廣場(광장)에서 새벽부터 午正(오정)까지 男子(남자), 女子(여자) 무릇 알아 들을 만한 者(자)의 앞에서 읽으매 百姓(백성)이 그 律法冊(율법책)에 귀를 기울였는데

4 때에 學士(학사) 에스라가 特別(특별)히 지은 나무 講壇(강단)에 서매 그 右便(우편)에 선 者(자)는 맛디댜와 스마와 아나야와 우리야와 힐기야와 마아세야요 그 左便(좌편)에 선 者(자)는 브다야와 미사엘과 말기야와 하숨과 하스밧다나와 스가랴와 므술람이라

Ezra the scribe stood on a high wooden platform 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.

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 學士(학사) 에스라가 모든 百姓(백성) 위에 서서 저희 目前(목전)에 冊(책)을 펴니 冊(책)을 펼때에 모든 百姓(백성)이 일어서니라

Ezra opened the book. All the people could see him because he was standing above them; and as he opened it, the people all stood up.

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 에스라가 廣大(광대)하신 하나님 여호와를 頌祝(송축)하매 모든 百姓(백성)이 손을 들고 아멘, 아멘 應答(응답)하고 몸을 굽혀 얼굴을 땅에 대고 여호와께 敬拜(경배)하였느니라

Ezra praised the LORD, the great God; and all the people lifted their hands and responded, "Amen! Amen!" Then they bowed down and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground.

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 worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground.

7 예수아와 바니와 세레뱌와 야민과 악굽과 사브대와 호디야와 마아세야와 그리다와 아사랴와 요사밧과 하난과 블라야와 레위 사람들이 다 그 處所(처소)에 섰는 百姓(백성)에게 律法(율법)을 깨닫게 하는데

The Levites--Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan and Pelaiah--instructed the people in the Law while the people were standing there.

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 하나님의 律法冊(율법책)을 朗讀(낭독)하고 그 뜻을 解釋(해석)하여 百姓(백성)으로 그 朗讀(낭독)하는 것을 다 깨닫게 하매

They read from the Book of the Law of God, making it clear and giving the meaning so that the people could understand what was being read.

So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.

9 百姓(백성)이 律法(율법)의 말씀을 듣고 다 우는지라 總督(총독) 느헤미야와 祭司長兼(제사장겸) 學士(학사) 에스라와 百姓(백성)을 가르치는 레위 사람들이 모든 百姓(백성)에게 이르기를 오늘은 너희 하나님 여호와의 聖日(성일)이니 슬퍼하지 말며 울지말라 하고

Then Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who were instructing the people said to them all, "This day is sacred to the LORD your God. Do not mourn or weep." For all the people had been weeping as they listened to the words of the Law.

And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.

10 느헤미야가 또 이르기를 너희는 가서 살진 것을 먹고 단 것을 마시되 豫備(예비)치 못한 者(자)에게는 너희가 나누어 주라 이 날은 우리 主(주)의 聖日(성일)이니 근심하지 말라 여호와를 기뻐하는 것이 너희의 힘이니라 하고

Nehemiah said, "Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."

Then 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 this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.

11 레위 사람들도 모든 百姓(백성)을 靜肅(정숙)케하여 이르기를 오늘은 聖日(성일)이니 마땅히 從容(종용)하고 근심하지 말라 하매

The Levites calmed all the people, saying, "Be still, for this is a sacred day. Do not grieve."

So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved.

12 모든 百姓(백성)이 곧 가서 먹고 마시며 나누어 주고 크게 즐거워하였으니 이는 그 읽어 들린 말을 밝히 앎이니라

Then all the people went away to eat and drink, to send portions of food and to celebrate with great joy, because they now understood the words that had been made known to them.

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 unto them.

13 ● 그 이튿날 百姓(백성)의 族長(족장)들과 祭司長(제사장)들과 레위 사람들이 律法(율법)의 말씀을 밝히 알고자 하여 學士(학사) 에스라의 곳에 모여서

On the second day of the month, the heads of all the families, along with the priests and the Levites, gathered around Ezra the scribe to give attention to the words of the Law.

And on the second day were gathered together the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law.

14 律法冊(율법책)을 본즉 여호와께서 모세로 命(명)하시기를 이스라엘 子孫(자손)은 七月(칠월) 節期(절기)에 草幕(초막)에 居(거)할찌니라 하였고

They found written in the Law, which the LORD had commanded through Moses, that the Israelites were to live in booths during the feast of the seventh month

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 또 일렀으되 모든 城邑(성읍)과 예루살렘에 公布(공포)하여 이르기를 너희는 山(산)에 가서 橄欖(감람)나무 가지와 들 橄欖(감람)나무 가지와 花石榴(화석류)나무 가지와 棕櫚(종려)나무 가지와 其他(기타) 茂盛(무성)한 나무 가지를 取(취)하여 記錄(기록)한 바를 따라 草幕(초막)을 지으라 하라 하였는지라

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 booths"--as it is written.

And that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto 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 百姓(백성)이 이에 나가서 나무 가지를 取(취)하여 或(혹)은 지붕 위에, 或(혹)은 뜰안에, 或(혹)은 하나님의 殿(전) 뜰에, 或(혹)은 水門(수문) 廣場(광장)에, 或(혹)은 에브라임 門(문) 廣場(광장)에 草幕(초막)을 짓되

So the people went out and brought back branches and built themselves booths on their own roofs, in their courtyards, in the courts of the house of God and in the square by the Water Gate and the one by the Gate of Ephraim.

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 사로잡혔다가 돌아온 會(회) 무리가 다 草幕(초막)을 짓고 그 안에 居(거)하니 눈의 아들 여호수아 때로부터 그 날까지 이스라엘 子孫(자손)이 이같이 行(행)함이 없었으므로 이에 크게 즐거워하며

The whole company that had returned from exile built booths and lived in them. From the days of Joshua son of Nun until that day, the Israelites had not celebrated it like this. And their joy was very great.

And all the congregation of them 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 unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.

18 에스라는 첫날부터 끝날까지 날마다 하나님의 律法冊(율법책)을 朗讀(낭독)하고 무리가 七日(칠일) 동안 節期(절기)를 지키고 第(제) 八日(팔일)에 規例(규례)를 따라 聖會(성회)를 열었느니라

Day after day, from the first day to the last, Ezra read from the Book of the Law of God. They celebrated the feast for seven days, and on the eighth day, in accordance with the regulation, there was an assembly.

Also day by day, from the first day unto 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 unto the manner.
