< 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,
Oo maalintaas ayay kitaabkii Muuse akhriyeen iyadoo dadkii maqlayo; oo waxaa laga helay oo ku qornaa inayan shirka Ilaah weligood soo gelin mid reer Cammoon ah iyo mid reer Moo'aab ah toona;
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).
maxaa yeelay, iyagu reer binu Israa'iil kalama ayan hor iman cunto iyo biyo toona, laakiinse waxay u soo kiraysteen Balcaam inuu habaaro aawadeed, habase ahaatee Ilaaheennu habaarkii wuxuu u beddelay duco.
3 As soon as the people heard this law, they excluded from Israel all of foreign descent.
Oo waxay noqotay markay sharcigii maqleen inay reer binu Israa'iil ka sooceen dadkii isku qasnaa oo dhan.
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
Oo waxyaalahaas ka hor wadaadkii Eliyaashiib oo loo doortay inuu madax u ahaado qolalka guriga Ilaaheenna ayaa xidhiidh la yeeshay Toobiyaah,
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.
oo wuxuu isagii u hagaajiyey qowlad weyn oo waagii hore la dhigi jiray qurbaannada hadhuudhka, iyo fooxa, iyo weelasha, iyo meeltobnaadyada hadhuudhka iyo khamriga iyo saliidda, oo amar lagu siin jiray kuwa reer Laawi, iyo kuwii gabayaaga ahaa, iyo irid-dhawryada, iyo qurbaannadii kor loo qaadi jiray oo la siin jiray wadaaddada.
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
Laakiinse waagaas oo dhan anigu Yeruusaalem ma aanan joogin, waayo, sannaddii soddon iyo labaad oo boqorkii Baabuloon ee Artaxshasta ahaa ayaan u tegey boqorka, oo maalmo yar dabadood ayaan boqorka fasax weyddiistay.
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.
Markaasaan Yeruusaalem imid oo waxaan gartay sharkii uu Eliyaashiib u sameeyey Toobiyaah markuu qowlad uga diyaarshay barxadihii guriga Ilaah.
8 And I was greatly displeased and threw all of Tobiah’s household goods out of the room.
Haddaba taasu aad bay ii murugaysay, sidaas daraaddeed qowladdii dibaddaan uga wada tuuray alaabtii guriga Toobiyaah oo dhan.
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.
Markaasaan amar bixiyey oo qolalkii waa la nadiifiyey; oo halkaasaan mar kale ku soo celiyey weelashii gurigii Ilaah, iyo qurbaannadii hadhuudhka, iyo fooxii.
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.
Oo haddana waxaan kaloo gartay inaan kuwii reer Laawi qaybahoodii la siin, oo sidaas daraaddeed kuwii reer Laawi iyo kuwii gabayaaga ahaa oo shuqulka samayn jirayba way carareen oo mid waluba beertiisii buu tegey.
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,
Markaasaan taliyayaashii la diriray oo waxaan ku idhi, War maxaa guriga Ilaah looga tegey? Kolkaasaan iyagii soo wada ururiyey oo meeshoodii ku celiyey.
12 and all Judah brought a tenth of the grain, new wine, and oil into the storerooms.
Markaasaa dadka dalka Yahuudah oo dhammu waxay qolalkii khasnadaha soo geliyeen meeltobnaadyadii hadhuudhka iyo kuwii khamriga iyo kuwii saliiddaba.
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.
Oo qolalkii khasnadaha waxaan madax uga dhigay khasnajiyo, oo waxay ahaayeen wadaadkii Shelemyaah ahaa, iyo karraanigii Saadooq ahaa, oo reer Laawina waxaa kaga jiray Fedaayaah, oo waxaa ku xigay Xaanaan ina Sakuur, oo ahaa ina Matanyaah, waayo, waxaa lagu tiriyey inay aamin yihiin, oo shaqadooduna waxay ahayd inay walaalahood wax u qaybiyaan.
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.
Ilaahayow, haddaba bal taas daraaddeed ii xusuuso, oo ha tirtirin falimahaygii wanaagsanaa oo aan u qabtay gurigaaga iyo waxyaalihii la dhawri lahaa.
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.
Oo waagaas waxaan dalka Yahuudah ku arkay kuwo maalinta Sabtida macsarada canabka ku tumanaya, oo xidhmooyin soo ururinaya, oo dameerro raraya, iyo weliba khamri iyo canab, iyo berde iyo rar cayn kasta ah oo Yeruusaalem la soo gelinaya maalinta sabtida; oo anna iyagii waan uga digay maalintii ay cuntada iibiyeen.
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.
Oo halkaas waxaa kaloo degganaa dad reer Turos ah oo keeni jiray kalluun iyo alaab cayn kasta ah, oo maalinta ayay ka iibin jireen dadka dalka Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalem gudaheeda.
17 Then I rebuked the nobles of Judah and asked, “What is this evil you are doing—profaning the Sabbath day?
Markaasaan la diriray kuwii gobta ahaa oo dalka Yahuudah oo waxaan ku idhi, War waa maxay waxan sharka ah oo aad samaysaan oo aad ku nijaasaysaan maalinta sabtida ah?
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!”
War sow awowayaashiin saasoo kale ma yeelin, sow Ilaah belaayadan oo dhan taas aawadeed inooguma soo dejin innaga iyo magaaladaba? Oo weliba markaad sabtida nijaasaysaan waxaad reer binu Israa'iil ku soo dejisaan cadho kale oo badan.
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.
Oo sabtida ka hor markii irdihii Yeruusaalem soo madoobaanayeen, ayaan amray in albaabbada la xidho, oo waxaan kaloo amray inaan la furin jeeray sabtidu dhammaato; oo qaar midiidinnadaydii ah ayaan irdihii waardiye uga dhigay inaan maalinta sabtida waxba rar la soo gelin.
20 Once or twice, the merchants and those who sell all kinds of goods camped outside Jerusalem,
Haddaba baayacmushtariyaashii iyo kuwii alaab cayn kasta iibin jiray mar iyo laba ayay Yeruusaalem dibaddeeda u hoydeen.
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.
Markaasaan iyagii u digay oo ku idhi, War maxaad derbiga hareerihiisa ugu hoyataan? Haddaad mar dambe saas yeeshaan gacan baan idin saarayaa. Oo ayaantaas ka dib mar dambe ma ay iman maalin sabti ah.
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.
Oo waxaan kuwii reer Laawi ku amray inay isdaahiriyaan iyo inay yimaadaan oo irdaha dhawraan si ay quduus uga dhigaan maalinta sabtida. Ilaahayow, taas aawadeedna ii xusuuso, oo iigu tudh siday weynaanta naxariistaadu tahay.
23 In those days I also saw Jews who had married women from Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab.
Oo waagaas waxaan kaloo arkay Yuhuuddii oo guursatay naago ah reer Ashdood, iyo reer Cammoon, iyo reer Moo'aab.
24 Half of their children spoke the language of Ashdod or of the other peoples, but could not speak the language of Judah.
Oo carruurtoodii badhkoodna waxay ku hadli jireen afkii reer Ashdood, oo afkii Yuhuuddana kuma ay hadli karin, laakiinse waxay ku hadli jireen sidii afkii dadyow kasta.
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!
Oo anna iyagii waan la diriray, waanan caayay, oo qaarkoodna waan dilay, oo timahoodiina waan ka rifay, waanan ku dhaarshay Ilaah, oo ku idhi, Waa inaydnaan gabdhihiinna u guurin wiilashooda, gabdhahoodana ha u guurinina wiilashiinna, idinkuna ha guursanina.
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.
War Sulaymaan oo ahaa boqorkii reer binu Israa'iil sow isba waxyaalahan kuma dembaabin? In kastoo aan quruumo badan dhexdooda boqor isagoo kala ah laga heli karin, oo uu Ilaahiisuna jeclaa, oo uu Ilaah ka dhigay boqor u taliya reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, haddana xataa isagii waxaa dembaajiyey naago qalaad.
27 Must we now hear that you too are doing all this terrible evil and acting unfaithfully against our God by marrying foreign women?”
Haddaba miyaannu idin dhegaysannaa si aannu sharkan oo dhan u samayno oo intaan naago qalaad guursanno miyaannu Ilaahayaga ku xadgudubnaa?
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.
Oo Eliyaashiib oo ahaa wadaadkii sare wiilashiisii midkood oo Yooyaadaac ahaa waxaa soddog u ahaa Sanballad oo ahaa reer Xoron; oo sidaas daraaddeed ayaan isaga eryay.
29 Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and of the Levites.
Ilaahayow, iyaga xusuuso, maxaa yeelay, waxay nijaaseeyeen wadaadnimadii, iyo axdigii wadaadnimada iyo kii reer Laawi.
30 Thus I purified the priests and Levites from everything foreign, and I assigned specific duties to each of the priests and Levites.
Haddaba sidaasaan uga nadiifiyey dad kasta oo qalaad, oo waxaan bixiyey amar ku saabsan wadaaddadii iyo kuwii reer Laawiba iyo mid walba shuqulkiisii,
31 I also arranged for contributions of wood at the appointed times, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, with favor.
iyo amar ku saabsan qurbaankii qoryaha oo wakhtiyada la amray la keeno, iyo midhaha ugu horreeya. Ilaahayow, wanaag igu xusuuso.
