KJV ⁷ 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.

VULC ⁷ Porro Josue, et Bani, et Serebia, Jamin, Accub, Septhai, Odia, Maasia, Celita, Azarias, Jozabed, Hanan, Phalaia, Levitæ, silentium faciebant in populo ad audiendam legem : populus autem stabat in gradu suo.

KJV ⁸ So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.

VULC ⁸ Et legerunt in libro legis Dei distincte, et aperte ad intelligendum : et intellexerunt cum legeretur.

KJV ⁹ 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.

VULC ⁹ Dixit autem Nehemias (ipse est Athersatha) et Esdras sacerdos et scriba, et Levitæ interpretantes universo populo : Dies sanctificatus est Domino Deo nostro : nolite lugere, et nolite flere. Flebat enim omnis populus cum audiret verba legis.

KJV ¹⁰ 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.

VULC ¹⁰ Et dixit eis : Ite, comedite pinguia, et bibite mulsum, et mittite partes his qui non præparaverunt sibi, quia sanctus dies Domini est : et nolite contristari : gaudium etenim Domini est fortitudo nostra.

KJV ¹¹ So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved.

VULC ¹¹ Levitæ autem silentium faciebant in omni populo, dicentes : Tacete, quia dies sanctus est, et nolite dolere.

KJV ¹² 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.

VULC ¹² Abiit itaque omnis populus ut comederet, et biberet, et mitteret partes, et faceret lætitiam magnam : quia intellexerant verba quæ docuerat eos.
