Nehemiah 8:9

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.

KJV

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.

Vulgate

καὶ εἶπεν Νεεμίας, καὶ Ἔσρας ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ γραμματεὺς καὶ οἱ Λευεῖται συνέτιζον τὸν λαόν, καὶ εἶπαν παντὶ τῷ λαῷ Ἡμέρα ἁγία ἐστὶν Κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ ἡμῶν, μὴ πενθεῖτε μηδὲ κλαίετε· ὅτι ἔκλαιεν πᾶς ὁ λαός, ὡς ἤκουσαν τοὺς λόγους τοῦ νόμου.

LXX

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