Nehemiah 13
1 At that time the Book of Moses was read aloud in the hearing of the people, and in it they found the passage stating that no Ammonite or Moabite should ever enter the assembly of God,
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.
2 because they had not met the Israelites with food and water, but had hired Balaam to call down a curse against them (although our God had turned the curse into a blessing).
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.
3 As soon as the people heard this law, they excluded from Israel all of foreign descent.
Isala: ili dunu da amo sema idibi nabaloba, ilia ga fi dunu ilia fi amoga mae gilisima: ne ilegele sia: i.
4 Now before this, Eliashib the priest, a relative of Tobiah, had been put in charge of the storerooms of the house of our God
Gobele salasu dunu Ilaiasibi da Debolo modale ligisisu diasu ouligisu. E da eso bagohame Doubaia amo hahawane ba: i.
5 and had prepared for Tobiah a large room where they had previously stored the grain offerings, the frankincense, the temple articles, and the tithes of grain, new wine, and oil prescribed for the Levites, singers, and gatekeepers, along with the contributions for the priests.
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.
6 While all this was happening, I was not in Jerusalem, because I had returned to Artaxerxes king of Babylon in the thirty-second year of his reign. Some time later I obtained leave from the king
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.
7 to return to Jerusalem. Then I discovered the evil that Eliashib had done on behalf of Tobiah by providing him a room in the courts of the house of God.
Na da Yelusaleme moilaiga buhagili, Ilaiasibi da Doubaia ema Debolo sesei ia dagoi ba: beba: le, bagadewane fofogadigi.
8 And I was greatly displeased and threw all of Tobiah’s household goods out of the room.
Na da ougi bagade ba: i. Na da Doubaia ea liligi gadili galagai.
9 Then I ordered that the rooms be purified, and I had the articles of the house of God restored to them, along with the grain offerings and frankincense.
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.
10 I also learned that because the portions for the Levites had not been given to them, all the Levites and singers responsible for performing the service had gone back to their own fields.
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.
11 So I rebuked the officials and asked, “Why has the house of God been neglected?” Then I gathered the Levites and singers together and stationed them at their posts,
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.
12 and all Judah brought a tenth of the grain, new wine, and oil into the storerooms.
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.
13 I appointed as treasurers over the storerooms Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites, with Hanan son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah, to assist them, because they were considered trustworthy. They were responsible for distributing the supplies to their fellow Levites.
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.
14 Remember me for this, O my God, and do not blot out my deeds of loving devotion for the house of my God and for its services.
‘Na Gode! Dawa: ma! Na da Dia Debolo amola Dima nodone sia: ne gadosu hou bagade fidima: ne hamoi. Amo Di ba: ma!’
15 In those days I saw people in Judah treading winepresses on the Sabbath and bringing in grain and loading it on donkeys, along with wine, grapes, and figs. All kinds of goods were being brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. So I warned them against selling food on that day.
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.
16 Additionally, men of Tyre who lived there were importing fish and all kinds of merchandise and selling them on the Sabbath to the people of Judah in Jerusalem.
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.
17 Then I rebuked the nobles of Judah and asked, “What is this evil you are doing—profaning the Sabbath day?
Na da Yu ouligisu dunuma gagabole amane sia: i, “Dilia da wadela: le hamonana. Dilia da hadigi Sa: bade eso amo wadela: sa.
18 Did not your forefathers do the same things, so that our God brought all this disaster on us and on this city? And now you are rekindling His wrath against Israel by profaning the Sabbath!”
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.
19 When the evening shadows began to fall on the gates of Jerusalem, just before the Sabbath, I ordered that the gates be shut and not opened until after the Sabbath. I posted some of my servants at the gates so that no load could enter on the Sabbath day.
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.
20 Once or twice, the merchants and those who sell all kinds of goods camped outside Jerusalem,
Eso afae afae bidi lasu dunu mogili da Falaida: i gasi amoga moilai gagoi amoga gadili esalebe ba: i.
21 but I warned them, “Why are you camping in front of the wall? If you do it again, I will lay hands on you.” From that time on, they did not return on the Sabbath.
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.
22 Then I instructed the Levites to purify themselves and guard the gates in order to keep the Sabbath day holy. Remember me for this as well, O my God, and show me mercy according to Your abundant loving devotion.
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.
23 In those days I also saw Jews who had married women from Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab.
Amola amo esoga, Yu dunu mogili ilia da A: siedode, A:mone amola Moua: be soge amodili uda lai dagoi, na nabi.
24 Half of their children spoke the language of Ashdod or of the other peoples, but could not speak the language of Judah.
Ilia mano mogili da A: siedode sia: o ga fi sia: fawane sia: su. Ilia da ninia Isala: ili sia: hame dawa: i galu.
25 I rebuked them and called down curses on them. I beat some of these men and pulled out their hair. Then I made them take an oath before God and said, “You must not give your daughters in marriage to their sons or take their daughters as wives for your sons or for yourselves!
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.
26 Did not King Solomon of Israel sin in matters like this? There was not a king like him among many nations, and he was loved by his God, who made him king over all Israel—yet foreign women drew him into sin.
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.
27 Must we now hear that you too are doing all this terrible evil and acting unfaithfully against our God by marrying foreign women?”
Amaiba: le, ninia da dilia hou defele, Gode Ea sia: mae nabawane ga fi uda lamu da defeala: ? Defea hame mabu!”
28 Even one of the sons of Jehoiada son of Eliashib the high priest had become a son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite. Therefore I drove him away from me.
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.
29 Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and of the Levites.
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.
30 Thus I purified the priests and Levites from everything foreign, and I assigned specific duties to each of the priests and Levites.
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.
31 I also arranged for contributions of wood at the appointed times, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, with favor.
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
