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,

Hanki ana zupa Mosese kasege avontafepinti ranke hu'za nehamparizage'za mika vahe'mo'za antahi'naze. Hagi ana avontafepina amanage huno krente'nege'za hampri'naze, Amoni vahe'mo'zane Moapu vahe'mo'za Anumzamofo vahe'ma atruma hanafina magore hu'za eofregahaze hu'ne.

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).

Na'ankure zamagra Israeli nagara ne'zane tinena nozami'za, kazusi ke huzmantenogu Balamuna zago ami'naze. Hianagi tagri Anumzamo'a ana kazusi kea eri rukrahe huno asomu hurante'ne.

3 As soon as the people heard this law, they excluded from Israel all of foreign descent.

Hagi Israeli vahe'ma Mosese kasegema hamprizage'zama nentahi'za, fegi'ati'ma zamagranema emani'naza vahera agafa hu'za huzmante'naze.

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

Hagi pristi ne' Eliasibi'a Tobiana naga'agino, kora Anumzamofo mono nompima fenozama nentaza nonte kva hino hu'za huhamparinte'naza nere.

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.

Ana hu'neankino Eliasibi'a Tobiana huntegeno, Anumzamofo mono nompima ra zantema hunaragintene'za, witi ofama hu zantamine, mnanentake insensine mono nompima eri'zama eneriza zantaminema nente'za, kasegemo'ma huno Livae naga'ma zamihoma hu'nea zantamina, hozafi zama 10ni'a kevuma eritruma hu'nafintima mago kevuma zamiza zantamine, kasefa wainine, masavenema eri'za azage'za nente'za Livae nagamokizmine, zagamema hu vahe'ene, mono no kafante'ma kvama nehaza vahe'ene, pristi naga'mokizmi musezama ko'ma eme anteterema nehaza nona amigeno mani'ne.

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

Hagi ana zama fore'ma hia knafina nagra Nehemaia'na Jerusalemi kumapina omani'noanki, Pesia kini ne' Artaserksisi'ma kinima manino egeno 32ma hiankafure Artaserksisina ome kenaku Babiloni vu'noe. Hagi mago knama evutege'na, Kini ne'mo'ma natre'nige'na ete Jerusalemima esugu antahige'noe.

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.

Anama hute'na Jerusalemi oge'za nasamiza Eliasibi'a havi avu'avaza huno, Anumzamofo ra mono nompima hunaraginte'naza nona Tobia'na amigeno mani'ne hu'naze.

8 And I was greatly displeased and threw all of Tobiah’s household goods out of the room.

Hagi ana kema nentahugeno'a, tusi narimpahege'na, Tobia fenozana ana nompintira maka eri fegi atre'noe.

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.

Hagi anante vahe huzamantoge'za hunaraginte'naza nona Anumzamofo avure harafi hu'za eri agru hutazage'na, mono nompi zuomparamine ofama hu witine, mnanentake zantamina insensinena ete eri'na anampinka ome ante'noe.

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.

Hagi anahukna hu'na ke'na eri fore'ma huana, hozama vasagazafintira, Livae naga'mozama eri'ga ne'zana, eriza eme ozami'naze. E'ina hu'negu ana maka Livae naga'ene zagame'ma hu vahe'mo'za mono nompi eri'zazamia atre'za mopa zamirega ete vu'naze.

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,

Hagi anante kva vahera amanage hu'na zamasami'noe. Na'ahigeta Ra Anumzamofo mono nona tamefira humi'naze. Anagema hute'na Livae vahetamine zavenama aheno zagamema hu vahera ke hutru hu'na, eri'za kankamu zamire zamazeri otitere hu'noe.

12 and all Judah brought a tenth of the grain, new wine, and oil into the storerooms.

Anante ana maka Juda witi zamifinti'ene, waini zamifinti'ene, masave zamifinti'ma, hamprizageno vuno 10nima hia kevua eri'za mono nompima fenozama nentafi eme ante'naze.

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.

Hagi anante pristi ne' Selemianki avontafete'ma ugagota'ma hu'nea ne' Zadokunki Livae nagapinti ne' Pedaiama hu'na huhampari zamantoge'za, ana fenozama ante nona kegava hu'naze. Hagi zamazama huno kegavama hania nera, Matania negeho ne' Zakuri nemofo Hanani huhampri ante'noe. Na'ankure zamagra knare'za hu'za eri'zana eri'naza vaheki'za, kegava hu'neza zamafuhe'ina fatgo hu'za refko huzamisaze hu'na antahinezami'na huhampari zamante'noe.

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.

E'ina hu'negu Anumzanimoka ama ana eri'zama eri'noa zankura kagesa antahinamio. Ana nehunka Anumzanimoka mono nonte'ene, mono nompima eri'zama erisaza zama nagu'areti'ma hu'na erinte fatgoma hu'noa navu'navazana Anumzanimoka kagerakani onanto.

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.

Hanki e'ina knafima zamagoana Juda vahe'mo'za Sabati mani fruhu knarera, waini zafa raga regatati hu'za tima'a eri'naze. Ana nehu'za donki afu'mofo agumpina witi kutamine wainine, grepine, fiki zafa raganena erinente'za mago'a nezantaminena, mani fru kna Sabati zupa Jerusalemi vu'za zagore ome atre'naze. Ana hu'negu ana Sabati knarera ne'zana zagorera otreho hu'na asevazi zamante'noe.

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.

Hanki Tairi vahe'ma Jerusalema nemaniza, nozameramine mago'a zantaminena, eri'za mani fruhu kna Sabati zupa Juda vahete zagore ome atre'naze.

17 Then I rebuked the nobles of Judah and asked, “What is this evil you are doing—profaning the Sabbath day?

Anama hazageno'a tusi narimpa hege'na, Juda vahe'mokizmi kva vahera amanage hu'na zamasami'noe, ama havi tamavu tamava'ma hazazamo'a Sabati mani fruhu kna erihaviza nehaze hu'na hu'noe.

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!”

Tamagrira tafahe'za amanahu zamavu zamava hazazamo higeno, tagri Anumzamo'a tagrite'ene ama rankuma'enena knazana tami'ne. Hanki menima Sabati mani fruhu knama eri pehanama hazazamo higeno Israeli vahe'mota Anumzamo'a tusi'a rimpa ahenerante.

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.

Hanki kinaga nesegeno Sabatima eofre'negeno, Jerusalemi kuma kafantamina ana maka eriginenkeno Sabatia evute'na erinagiho hu'na huzamante'noe. Hanki ana nehu'na, mago'a zama eri'za Sabati zupama efre zankura kafante'ma kegavama nehaza eri'za vaheni'a mago'a huzamantoge'za kuma kafaramintera kva hu'naze.

20 Once or twice, the merchants and those who sell all kinds of goods camped outside Jerusalem,

Hagi zagore'ma nanazama eme netraza vahe'mo'za tareo mago kenage naza Jerusalemi rankumamofo kafantera megi'a emase'naze.

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.

Hianagi ana vahe'ma nezamage'na amanage hu'na hankave kea hu'noe, na'ahigetma kuma keginamofo megi'a emase'naze. Hagi amanahu zama henka'anema hanazana, tamazeri'na kina huramantegahue. Hagi anankema hu'noreti'ma agafama hiana ana vahe'mo'za mago'ene e'za Sabati zupa nanazana zagorera eme otre'naze.

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.

Anante Sabati knagu'ma ruotage hu'ne hu'zama antahinagura, Livae nagara huzamante'na tamagra'a tamazeri agru huteta vuta kuma kegina kafantera kva hiho hu'na huzamante'noe. Hagi Anumzanimoka ama ana avu'ava zama tro'ma hu'noa zankura kagesa antahinamio, ana nehunka vagaore kavesi zanteti, zamavesi zamante vava hugahue hunkama hu'nana keka'a amage antenka kasunku hunanto.

23 In those days I also saw Jews who had married women from Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab.

Hagi ana knafima koana, mago'a Juda vene'ne naga'mo'za Astoti kumatetiki, Amoni kumatetiki, Moapu kumatetiki hu'za a'nea eri'naze.

24 Half of their children spoke the language of Ashdod or of the other peoples, but could not speak the language of Judah.

Hagi mago'a mofavre nagazamimo'za, Astoti vahe zamagerura antahi'neza zamagerura ru'naze. Ana nehazage'za mago'amo'za ruga'a vahe zamageru ru'naze. Hianagi Juda vahe zamagerura oru'naze.

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!

Hagi ana vahera zamazeri koneri'na kazusi ke huzamante'noe. Mago'a nagara sefu nezami'na zamazokara eri varare'noe. Hagi Anumzamofo agifi huvempa kea amanage hiho hu'na huzmante'noe. Tamagra ne' mofavretamirera megi'ati a'nenea zamavare ozamigahaze. Ana zanke huta mofa'netamia zamatresage'za megi'a vene'nea e'origahaze.

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.

Hige'na amanage hu'na zamasami'noe, Solomoni'a Israeli kini ne' mani'neanagi agranena a'neneramima erino amanahu kumi'ma hu'neana ontahi'nazo? Ama mopafima me'nea kumatmimpina magore huno Solomonikna kini nera omani'ne. Agri Anumzamo'a avesinteno kinia azeri otigeno, ana maka Israeli mopa kegava hu'ne. Hianagi megi'ati'ma eri'nea a'nemo'za avre'za kumipina vu'naze.

27 Must we now hear that you too are doing all this terrible evil and acting unfaithfully against our God by marrying foreign women?”

Hagi ana havi tamavu tamava zama tagrama amage'ma anteta, megi'ati a'nenema erisunana, tagra Ra Anumzamofonkea rutagreta, tusi'a kumi hugahune. Hagi tamagrama antahi'zana tagrikura ana hanaze hutma nentahizafi?

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.

Hagi pristi ne' Eliasibi nemofo Jehoiada ne'mofavre nagapinti mago'mo, Heroni kumateti ne' Sanbalati mofa ara erineanki'na, ana nera ahe'na rotago hugeno fre'ne.

29 Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and of the Levites.

Ana hu'negu Anumzanimoka pristi vahe'mo'zama hu'naza havi zamavu zamava zankura kaganera okanino. Na'ankure zamagra pristi vahe'ene Livae naga'enema huhagerafi'nana kasegea runetagre'za zamagra'a zamazeri haviza hu'naze.

30 Thus I purified the priests and Levites from everything foreign, and I assigned specific duties to each of the priests and Levites.

E'ina hu'negu megi'a zantamimo'ma zamazeri pehanama hu'neana zamazeri agru hu'noe. Ana hute'na Livae naga'ene pristi nagara eri'za zamire huhampari zamantetere hu'noe.

31 I also arranged for contributions of wood at the appointed times, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, with favor.

Nagra anazanke hu'na, mago mago zupama tevema hare'zama kresramnama vu itare'ma esnaza vahe'ene, ese ne'zama hozafinti'ma hamare'za eri'za esaza vahe'ene, ese zafa rgama tagisaza zama Ra Mono nompima eriza esaza vahe'enena huhampari zamante'noe. Ana maka zama hu'noa zanku antahi nenaminka Anumzanimoka nazeri so'e hunanto.
