因为摩西当日照着律法将各样诫命传给众百姓，就拿朱红色绒和牛膝草，把牛犊山羊的血和水洒在书上，又洒在众百姓身上，说：

For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,

这一切灾祸临到我们身上，是照摩西律法上所写的。我们却没有求耶和华我们　神的恩典，使我们回头离开罪孽，明白你的真理。

As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.

以色列众人都犯了你的律法，偏行、不听从你的话；因此，在你仆人摩西律法上所写的咒诅和誓言，都倾在我们身上，因我们得罪了　神。

Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.

那日的四分之一，站在自己的地方，念耶和华他们　神的律法书；又四分之一认罪，敬拜耶和华他们的　神。

And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of the LORD their God one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed, and worshipped the LORD their God.

从头一天，直到末一天，以斯拉每日念　神的律法书。众人守节七日，第八日照例有严肃会。

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.
