Nehemiah 13
1 One day when the Book of Moses was being read to the people, the section was found where it was written that no Ammonite or Moabite should ever be allowed into the assembly of God,
A wannan rana aka karanta Littafin Musa da ƙarfi a kunnuwan mutane aka kuma sami an rubuta cewa kada a karɓi mutumin Ammon ko mutumin Mowab cikin taron Allah,
2 because they hadn't brought food and water when they met the Israelites, but instead they had hired Balaam to put a curse on them—though our God turned that curse into a blessing!
domin ba su taryi Isra’ila da abinci da ruwa ba amma suka yi hayar Bala’am don yă kira la’ana a kansu. (Amma Allahnmu, ya mai da la’anar ta zama albarka.)
3 When the people heard about this law, they separated out from Israel everyone who had foreign ancestry.
Sa’ad da mutane suka ji wannan doka, sai suka ware daga Isra’ila duk waɗanda suke na baƙon zuriya.
4 Before all this, Eliashib the priest, who was related to Tobiah, had been put in charge of the storerooms of the Temple of our God.
Kafin wannan, an sa Eliyashib firist yă lura da ɗakuna ajiyar gidan Allahnmu. Yana da dangantaka na kurkusa da Tobiya,
5 He had provided Tobiah with a large room which had previously been used to store the grain offerings, incense, and Temple items, as well as the tithes of grain, new wine, and olive oil allocated to the Levites, singers, and gatekeepers, in addition to the offerings for the priests.
ya kuma tanada masa babban ɗakin da dā ake ajiyar hadayun hatsi da turare da kayayyaki haikali, da kuma zakan hatsi, sabon ruwan inabi da kuma mai da aka umarta don Lawiyawa, mawaƙa da kuma matsaran ƙofofi, da kuma sadakoki domin firistoci.
6 When all this happened I was not in Jerusalem because I had returned to King Artaxerxes of Babylon in the thirty-second year of his reign. Some time later I requested permission from the king to go back.
Amma yayinda dukan wannan yake faruwa, ba ni a Urushalima, gama a shekara ta talatin da biyu na Artazerzes sarkin Babilon na dawo wurin sarki. A wani lokaci daga baya na nemi izininsa
7 When I arrived back in Jerusalem I discovered the dreadful thing Eliashib had done in providing Tobiah a room in the courtyard of God's Temple.
sai na koma zuwa Urushalima. A nan na ji game da mugun abin da Eliyashib ya aikata da ya tanada wa Tobiya ɗaki a filayen gidan Allah.
8 I was extremely upset, and I went and threw out everything that was in Tobiah's room.
Na ɓace rai ƙwarai na kuma zubar da dukan kayan gidan Tobiya daga ɗakin.
9 I ordered the rooms purified, and put back the Temple items, the grain offerings, and the incense.
Na umarta a tsarkake ɗakunan, sa’an nan na mayar da kayan gidan Allah a cikin ɗakunan, tare da hadayun hatsi da kuma turare.
10 I also found out that the food allowances for the Levites were not being provided, so the Levites had gone back to take care of their fields, along with the singers who led the worship services.
Na kuma ji cewa sassan da ake ba wa Lawiyawa ba a ba su ba, cewa kuma dukan Lawiyawa da mawaƙan da suke da hakkin hidima sun koma gonakinsu.
11 I went and confronted the leaders, asking, “Why is God's Temple being neglected?” I called the Levites back and made sure they were carrying out their responsibilities.
Sai na tsawata wa shugabanni na kuma tambaye su na ce, “Me ya sa aka ƙyale gidan Allah?” Sa’an nan na kira su gaba ɗaya na sa su a wuraren aikinsu.
12 Everyone in Judah then brought the tithes of grain, new wine, and olive oil into the storerooms.
Dukan Yahuda suka kawo zakan hatsi, sabon ruwan inabi da mai cikin ɗakunan ajiya.
13 I put Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah, one of the Levites, in charge of the storerooms with Hanan, son of Zakkur, son of Mattaniah, to assist them, because they were considered honest people. Their responsibility was to distribute the allowances to their fellow Levites.
Na sa Shelemiya firist, Zadok marubuci, da wani Balawe mai suna Fedahiya su lura da ɗakunan ajiya na kuma sa Hanan ɗan Zakkur, ɗan Mattaniya ya zama mataimakinsu, domin an ɗauka waɗannan mutane amintattu ne. Aka ba su hakkin raban kayayyaki wa’yan’uwansu.
14 My God, please remember me over this. Please don't forget my good deeds I have done for the Temple of my God and its services.
Ka tuna da ni saboda wannan, ya Allahna, kuma kada ka shafe abin da na yi da aminci domin gidan Allahna da kuma hidimarsa.
15 Around that time I noticed people treading the winepress on Sabbath. I saw others collecting grain and loading it up on donkeys, along with wine, grapes, figs, and all kinds of burdens, and bringing it all into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day.
A waɗannan kwanaki, na ga mutane a Yahuda suna matse ruwan inabi a ranar Asabbaci suna kuma kawo hatsi suna labta su a kan jakuna, tare da ruwan inabi,’ya’yan inabi, ɓaure da kaya iri-iri. Suna kuma kawowa dukan wannan cikin Urushalima a ranar Asabbaci. Saboda haka na gargaɗe su a kan sayar da abinci a wannan rana.
16 I told them off for selling their produce on that day.
Mutane daga Taya waɗanda suke zama a Urushalima suna shigar da kifi da kaya iri-iri na’yan kasuwa suna kuma sayar da su a Urushalima a ranar Asabbaci wa mutanen Yahuda.
17 Some people from Tyre who lived in Jerusalem were bringing in fish and all kinds of things and they were selling them on the Sabbath to the people of Judah in Jerusalem.
Sai na tsawata wa manyan Yahuda na ce musu, “Wanda irin mugun abu ke nan kuke yi, kuna ƙazantar da ranar Asabbaci?
18 I confronted the Jewish leaders, asking them, “Why are you are doing such an evil thing? You are violating the Sabbath day! Wasn't this what your forefathers did, bringing our God down on us, causing us and this city such disasters? Now you're bringing even more trouble on us by violating the Sabbath!”
Kakanninku ba su yi irin waɗannan abubuwa ba, har Allahnmu ya kawo dukan masifun nan a kanmu da kuma a kan wannan birni? Yanzu kuna tsokanar fushi mai yawa a kan Isra’ila ta wurin ƙazantar da Asabbaci.”
19 So I ordered Jerusalem's gates to be shut at sunset on the day before the Sabbath, and that were not to be opened until after the Sabbath had ended. I assigned some of my men to guard the gates to make sure no goods would be brought in on the Sabbath day.
Sa’ad da inuwar yamma ya fāɗo a ƙofofin Urushalima kafin Asabbaci, na umarta a rufe ƙofofi kuma kada a buɗe sai Asabbaci ya wuce. Na kafa waɗansu mutanena a ƙofofin don kada a shigo da wani kaya a ranar Asabbaci.
20 A couple of times merchants and sellers of all kinds of goods spent the night outside of Jerusalem.
Sau ɗaya ko biyu,’yan kasuwa da masu sayar da kowane irin kaya suka kwana waje da Urushalima.
21 I warned them, saying, “Why are you spending the night by the wall? If you do that again I'll have you arrested!” After that they didn't come on the Sabbath.
Amma na ja kunnensu na ce, “Me ya sa kuke kwana kusa da katanga? In kuka ƙara yin haka, zan kama ku.” Daga wannan lokaci har zuwa gaba ba su ƙara zuwa a ranar Asabbaci ba.
22 Then I told the Levites to purify themselves and to come and guard the gates to keep the Sabbath day holy. My God, please also remember me for doing this, and be merciful to me because of your trustworthy love.
Sai na umarci Lawiyawa su tsarkake kansu su kuma tafi su yi tsaron ƙofofi don a kiyaye ranar Asabbaci da tsarki. Ka tuna da ni saboda wannan shi ma, ya Allahna, ka nuna mini jinƙai bisa ga madawwamiyar ƙaunarka.
23 Around the same time I realized some Jews had married women from Ashdod, Moab, and Ammon.
Ban da haka, a waɗannan kwanakin na ga mutanen Yahuda waɗanda suka auri mata daga Ashdod, Ammon da Mowab.
24 Half their children could only speak the language of Ashdod or that of another people, and didn't know how to speak the language of Judah.
Rabin’ya’yansu suna yaren Ashdod ko kuwa wani yare na waɗansu mutane, ba su kuwa san yadda za su yi Yahudanci ba.
25 So I confronted them and told them they were cursed. I beat some of them and pulled out their hair. Then I made them take an oath before God, saying, “You must not allow your daughters to marry their sons, or allow your sons—or yourselves— to marry their daughters.
Na tsawata musu na kuma kira la’ana a kansu. Na bugi waɗansu mutane na kuma ja gashin kansu. Na sa suka yi rantsuwa da sunan Allah na ce, “Kada ku ba da’ya’yanku mata aure ga’ya’yansu maza, ba kuwa za ku auri’ya’yansu mata wa’ya’yanku maza ko wa kanku ba.
26 Wasn't it marriages like these that made King Solomon of Israel sin? There wasn't a king in any nation like him. God loved him, and God made him king over all Israel, but even he was made to sin by foreign women.
Ba don aure-aure irin waɗannan ne Solomon sarkin Isra’ila ya yi zunubi ba? A cikin yawancin al’ummai babu sarki kamar sa. Allahnsa ya ƙaunace shi, Allah kuma ya mai da shi sarki a kan dukan Isra’ila, amma duk da haka baren mata suka rinjaye shi ga zunubi.
27 So do we have to hear about you committing this dreadful sin, how you are being unfaithful to our God by marrying foreign women?”
Yanzu za mu ji cewa ku ma kuna yin duk wannan mugunta kuna zama marasa aminci ga Allahnmu ta wurin auren baren mata?”
28 Even one of the sons of Jehoiada, son of Eliashib the high priest, had become a son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite. So I expelled him.
Ɗaya daga cikin’ya’yan Yohiyada maza, ɗan Eliyashib babban firist, surukin Sanballat mutumin Horon ne. Na kuwa kore shi daga wurina.
29 My God, remember them and what they did, violating the priesthood and the solemn agreement of the priests and Levites.
Ka tuna da su, ya Allahna, domin sun ƙazantar da aikin firist da kuma alkawarin aikin firist da na Lawiyawa.
30 I purified them from everything foreign, and I made sure the priests and Levites were carrying out their assigned responsibilities.
Saboda haka na tsarkake firistoci da Lawiyawa daga kowane baƙon abu, na kuma ba su aikinsu, kowa ga aikinsa.
31 I also arranged for wood to be supplied for the altar at the specified times, and for the first part of the produce to be donated. My God, remember me favorably.
Na kuma yi tanadi don sadakokin itace a ƙayyadaddun lokuta, da kuma don nunan fari. Ka tuna da ni da alheri, ya Allahna.
