ગુજરાતીનહેમ્યા ૮:૯
નિયમશાસ્ત્રનાં વચનો સાંભળતી વખતે લોકો રડતા હતા તેથી મુખ્ય આગેવાન નહેમ્યાએ, યાજક અને શાસ્ત્રી એઝરાએ તથા અર્થઘટન કરી લોકોને સમજાવનાર લેવીઓએ સર્વને કહ્યું કે, “આ દિવસ તમારા ઈશ્વર યહોવાહને માટે પવિત્ર છે માટે તમે શોક કરશો નહિ અને રડશો પણ નહિ.”
हिन्दीनहेम्याह ८:९
तब नहेम्याह जो अधिपति था, और एज्रा जो याजक और शास्त्री था, और जो लेवीय लोगों को समझा रहे थे, उन्होंने सब लोगों से कहा, “आज का दिन तुम्हारे परमेश्वर यहोवा के लिये पवित्र है; इसलिए विलाप न करो और न रोओ।” क्योंकि सब लोग व्यवस्था के वचन सुनकर रोते रहे।

9Nehemiah, 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 the LORD your God. Don’t mourn, nor weep.” For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law.

10Then 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 the LORD is your strength.”

11So the Levites calmed all the people, saying, “Hold your peace, for the day is holy. Don’t be grieved.”
