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,

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 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!

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 When the people heard about this law, they separated out from Israel everyone who had foreign ancestry.

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

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 I was extremely upset, and I went and threw out everything that was in Tobiah's room.

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

9 I ordered the rooms purified, and put back the Temple items, the grain offerings, and the incense.

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 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.

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 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.

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 Everyone in Judah then brought the tithes of grain, new wine, and olive 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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 I told them off for selling their produce on that day.

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

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.

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 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!”

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 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.

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 A couple of times merchants and sellers of all kinds of goods spent the night outside of Jerusalem.

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

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.

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 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.

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 Around the same time I realized some Jews had married women from Ashdod, Moab, and Ammon.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 So do we have to hear about you committing this dreadful sin, how you are being unfaithful to 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. So I expelled him.

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 My God, remember them and what they did, violating the priesthood and the solemn agreement of the priests and 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 I purified them from everything foreign, and I made sure the priests and Levites were carrying out their assigned responsibilities.

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 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.

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.
