Nihemaia 13

1 Esela amola gobele salasu dunu da Mousese ea Sema amo Isala: ili dunu ilima idilaloba, ilia da sema afae ba: i dagoi. Amo da A: mone fi dunu amola Moua: be fi dunu da wali amola hobea eso huluanedafa amo Gode Ea fi dunu ilima da hamedafa madelagimu.

And on that day they read in the book of Moses in the hearing of the people: and therein was found written, that the Ammonites and the Moabites should not come in to the church of God for ever:

2 Bai A: mone amola Moua: be fi dunu ilia da Isala: ili dunu da Idibidi soge amoga fisili masa: ne, logoga ahoanoba, ilima ha: i manu amola hano hame i. Be amo hou baligili, ilia da Ba: ila: me amo e da Isala: ili dunuma gagabusu aligima: ne hamomusa: , ema muni i. Be ninia Gode da amo gagabusu aligi sinidigili, bu Isala: ili fi dunu dogolegele hahawane fidima: ne, Ba: ila: me ea lafidili sia: i.

Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and water: and they hired against them Balaam, to curse them, and our God turned the curse into blessing.

3 Isala: ili dunu da amo sema idibi nabaloba, ilia ga fi dunu ilia fi amoga mae gilisima: ne ilegele sia: i.

And it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated every stranger from Israel.

4 Gobele salasu dunu Ilaiasibi da Debolo modale ligisisu diasu ouligisu. E da eso bagohame Doubaia amo hahawane ba: i.

And over this thing was Eliasib the priest, who was set over the treasury of the house of our God, and was near akin to Tobias.

5 Debolo modale ligisisu amo ganodini, sesei afae bagade ba: i. Amo sesei da iasu liligi amo gagoma, gabusiga: manoma, Debolo hawa: hamosu liligi, amola liligi amo gobele salasu dunuma i amola ‘daide’ (gagoma, waini hano amola olife susuligi) amo da Lifai dunu amola Debolo gesami hea: su dunu amola Debolo sosodo aligisu dunu ilima iasu, amo liligi ligisima: ne amo sesei da ilegei dagoi. Be Ilaiasibi da amo sesei Doubaia amo ganodini esaloma: ne iasu.

And he made him a great storeroom, where before him they laid up gifts, and frankincense, and vessels, and the tithes of the corn, of the wine, and of the oil, the portions of the Levites, and of the singing men, and of the porters, and the firstfruits of the priests.

6 Amo hou hamonanoba, na da Yelusaleme moilai amo ganodini hame esalebe ba: i. Bai Adasegesisi ea Ba: bilone ouligisu ode 32 amoga, na da ema sia: sia: ne iasu ima: ne, ema buhagi. Na da ouesalu, amalalu e da na Yuda sogega bu masa: ne logo doasi.

But in all this time I was not in Jerusalem, because in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon, I went to the king, and after certain days I asked the king:

7 Na da Yelusaleme moilaiga buhagili, Ilaiasibi da Doubaia ema Debolo sesei ia dagoi ba: beba: le, bagadewane fofogadigi.

And I came to Jerusalem, and I understood the evil that Eliasib had done for Tobias, to make him a storehouse in the courts of the house of God.

8 Na da ougi bagade ba: i. Na da Doubaia ea liligi gadili galagai.

And it seemed to me exceeding evil. And I cast forth the vessels of the house of Tobias out of the storehouse.

9 Na da hawa: hamosu dunuma ilia da amo Debolo sesei Gode Ea sema defele noga: le dodofema: ne sia: i. Bai ledo bagade galebeba: le, Debolo hawa: hamosu liligi, gagoma iasu amola gabusiga: manoma bu legemu da hamedei. Be ilia da amo liligi dodofei dagoiba: le, bu legei.

And I commanded and they cleansed the storehouses: and I brought thither again the vessels of the house of God, the sacrifice, and the frankincense.

10 Amola na da nabi amo Debolo gesami hea: su dunu amola Lifai dunu mogili da Yelusaleme moilai fisili, ilia ifabi amoga buhagi dagoi. Bai dunu da ilia ha: i manu amola labe defele ilima hame iasu.

And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: and that the Levites, and the singing men, and they that ministered were fled away every man to his own country:

11 Ouligisu dunu da Debolo diasu noga: le hame ouligibiba: le, na da ilima gagabole sia: i. Amola na da Lifai dunu amola Debolo gesami hea: su dunu amo huluane Debolo diasuga bu oule misini, ilima bu hawa: hamoma: ne sia: i.

And I pleaded the matter against the magistrates, and said: Why have we forsaken the house of God? And I gathered them together, and I made them to stand in their places.

12 Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu da bu ilia gagoma, waini amola olife susuligi amo ‘daide’ huluane ilia da Debolo modale ligisisu sesei amoga bu gaguli misi.

And all Juda brought the tithe of the corn, and the wine, and the oil into the storehouses.

13 Amola na da hagudu dedei dunu amo modale ligisisu diasuga ouligimusa: ilegei dagoi, amo, gobele salasu dunu Sielemaia, sema dawa: su dunu Sa: idoge amola Lifai dunu Bida: ia. Amola ilia fidisu dunu Ha: ina: ne (Sa: ge ea mano amola Ma: danaia ea aowa) amo na da ilegei. Amo dunu ilia hou da moloiba: le, ilia da liligi mae wamolale, ilia na: iyado hawa: hamosu dunuma imunu, na da dawa: i galu.

And we set over the storehouses Selemias the priest, and Sadoc the scribe, and of the Levites Phadaia, and next to them Hanan the son of Zachur, the son of Mathania: for they were approved as faithful, and to them were committed the portions of their brethren.

14 ‘Na Gode! Dawa: ma! Na da Dia Debolo amola Dima nodone sia: ne gadosu hou bagade fidima: ne hamoi. Amo Di ba: ma!’

Remember me, O my God, for this thing, and wipe not out my kindnesses, which I have done relating to the house of my God and his ceremonies.

15 Amo esoga na da Yuda fi dunu Sa: bade esoga hawa: hamonanebe ba: i. Mogili ilia da waini hano lama: ne, waini fage ososa: gisu. Mogili da gagoma, waini, figi fage amola liligi eno amo ilia dougi da: iya lidili legelalebe, na da ba: i. Ilia da amo liligi Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega gaguli masusa: dawa: i. Na da ilima Sa: bade eso amoga liligi mae bidi lama: ne sisane sia: i.

In those days I saw in Juda some treading the presses on the sabbath, and carrying sheaves, and lading asses with wine, and grapes, and figs, and all manner of burthens, and bringing them into Jerusalem on the sabbath day. And I charged them that they should sell on a day on which it was lawful to sell.

16 Dunu eno da musa: Daia moilaiga esalu, ilia da Yelusaleme amo ganodini esalebe ba: i. Ilia da menabo amola liligi eno bagohame amo Sa: bade esoga Yu dunuma bidi lama: ne, Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega gaguli masu.

Some Tyrians also dwelt there, who brought fish, and all manner of wares: and they sold them on the sabbaths to the children of Juda in Jerusalem.

17 Na da Yu ouligisu dunuma gagabole amane sia: i, “Dilia da wadela: le hamonana. Dilia da hadigi Sa: bade eso amo wadela: sa.

And I rebuked the chief men of Juda, and said to them: What is this evil thing that you are doing, profaning the sabbath day?

18 Amo baiga Gode da musa: Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade wadela: lesi dagoi amola dilia aowalali ilima se dabe bagade iasu. Be dilia da Gode da Isala: ili dunuma bu ougima: ne, Sa: bade eso wadela: sa,” na gagabole sia: i.

Did not our fathers do these things, and our God brought all this evil upon us, and upon this city? And you bring more wrath upon Israel by violating the sabbath.

19 Amaiba: le, Sa: bade eso huluane da muni, daeya agoane, ilia da moilai logo ga: sima: ne na da sia: i. Amalalu, Sa: bade eso da dagobeba: le fawane bu doasima: ne sia: i. Na da na hawa: hamosu dunu mogili ilia logo ga: su sosodo aligima: ne sia: i. Dunu da Sa: bade eso amoga liligi ganodini mae gaguli misa: ne, agoane hamoi.

And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem were at rest on the sabbath day, I spoke: and they shut the gates, and I commanded that they should not open them till after the sabbath: and I set some of my servants at the gates, that none should bring in burthens on the sabbath day.

20 Eso afae afae bidi lasu dunu mogili da Falaida: i gasi amoga moilai gagoi amoga gadili esalebe ba: i.

So the merchants, and they that sold all kinds of wares, stayed without Jerusalem once or twice.

21 Na da ilima sisasu amane olelei, “Dilia da abuliba: le hahabe misa: ne ouligisala: ? Dilia amo hou bu hamosea, na da dilima doagala: musa: misunu.” Amalalu, ilia da Sa: bade esoga bu hame misi.

And I charged them, and I said to them: Why stay you before the wall? if you do so another time, I will lay hands on you. And from that time they came no more on the sabbath.

22 Na da Lifai dunuma amo ilia da ilia ledo hou dodofelalu, Sa: bade eso mae wadela: ma: ne, ilia da logo ga: su amo sosodo aligima: ne sia: i. Gode! Amo amola dawa: ma! Di da asigi bagadeba: le, na gaga: ma.

I spoke also to the Levites that they should be purified, and should come to keep the gates, and to sanctify the sabbath day: for this also remember me, O my God, and spare me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

23 Amola amo esoga, Yu dunu mogili ilia da A: siedode, A:mone amola Moua: be soge amodili uda lai dagoi, na nabi.

In those days also I saw Jews that married wives, women of Azotus, and of Ammon, and of Moab.

24 Ilia mano mogili da A: siedode sia: o ga fi sia: fawane sia: su. Ilia da ninia Isala: ili sia: hame dawa: i galu.

And their children spoke half in the speech of Azotus, and could not speak the Jews’ language, but they spoke according to the language of this and that people.

25 Na da amo dunuma gagabole sia: i. Na da Gode da ilima gagabusu aligima: ne sia: i. Na da ili fasu amola ilia dialuma hinabo golole fasi. Amalalu, na da sia: beba: le, ilia da Gode Ea Dioba: le, ilia amola ilia mano da ga fi uda eno hamedafa lamu ilegele sia: i.

And I chid them, and laid my curse upon them. And I beat some of them, and shaved off their hair, and made them swear by God that they would not give their daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters for their sons, nor for themselves, saying:

26 Na amane sia: i. “Hina bagade Soloumane da ga fi uda laiba: le, wadela: le bagade hamosu. Soloumane da fifi asi gala huluane ilia hina bagade baligi dagoi. Gode da e dogolegeiba: le, e Isala: ili soge huluane ouligima: ne, hina bagade hamoi. Be e da dafane, wadela: le hamoi dagoi.

Did not Solomon king of Israel sin in this kind of thing? and surely among many nations, there was not a king like him, and he was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: and yet women of other countries brought even him to sin.

27 Amaiba: le, ninia da dilia hou defele, Gode Ea sia: mae nabawane ga fi uda lamu da defeala: ? Defea hame mabu!”

And shall we also be disobedient and do all this great evil to transgress against our God, and marry strange women?

28 Yoiada da gobele salasu Ouligisu Ilaiasibi, amo ea mano esalu. Be Yoiada egefe afae da Sa: naba: la: de (ea moilai da Bede Houlone) amo ea uda mano lai. Amaiba: le, na da Yoiada ema Yelusaleme moilai fisili masa: ne sia: i. Amola e da mugululi asi.

And one of the sons of Joiada the son of Eliasib the high priest, was son in law to Sanaballat the Horonite, and I drove him from me.

29 Hina Gode! Dawa: ma! Amo dunu ilia da gobele salasu hou ilegei amo wadela: lesi dagoi amola gousa: su di da Lifai amola gobele salasu dunu ilima hamoi, amo wadela: lesi.

Remember them, O Lord my God, that defile the priesthood, and the law of priests and Levites.

30 Na da Isala: ili dunu hadigi ba: ma: ne, ledo hou amola liligi huluane fadegai. Lifai amola gobele salasu dunu ilia hawa: hamosu noga: le dawa: ma: ne, na da ilia hawa: hamosu sema dedei.

So I separated from them all strangers, and I appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites, every man in his ministry:

31 Na da lalu ifa amo Godema gobele salasu hamoma: ne, amo ilia da eso ilegei amoga gaguli misa: ne sia: i. Amola dunu huluane da ilia bisili fai gagoma amola ifa fage gaguli misa: ne sia: i. Hina Gode! Amo na hou huluane dawa: ma! Amola nama hahawane hamoma: ne ilegema! Sia: ama dagoi

And for the offering of wood at times appointed, and for the firstfruits: remember me, O my God, unto good. Amen.
