Nehemiah 13
1 And on that day did they reade in the booke of Moses, in the audience of the people, and it was found written therein, that the Ammonite, and the Moabite should not enter into the Congregation of God,
当日，人念摩西的律法书给百姓听，遇见书上写着说，亚扪人和摩押人永不可入 神的会；
2 Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: and our God turned the curse into a blessing.
因为他们没有拿食物和水来迎接以色列人，且雇了巴兰咒诅他们，但我们的 神使那咒诅变为祝福。
3 Now when they had heard the Lawe, they separated from Israel all those that were mixed.
以色列民听见这律法，就与一切闲杂人绝交。
4 And before this had the Priest Eliashib the ouersight of the chamber of the house of our God, being kinsman to Tobiah:
先是蒙派管理我们 神殿中库房的祭司以利亚实与多比雅结亲，
5 And he had made him a great chamber and there had they aforetime layde the offringes, the incense, and the vessels, and the tithes of corne, of wine, and of oyle (appointed for the Leuites, and the singers, and the porters) and the offringes of the Priests.
便为他预备一间大屋子，就是从前收存素祭、乳香、器皿，和照命令供给利未人、歌唱的、守门的五谷、新酒，和油的十分之一，并归祭司举祭的屋子。
6 But in all this time was not I in Ierusalem: for in the two and thirtieth yere of Artahshashte King of Babel, came I vnto the King, and after certaine dayes I obteined of the King.
那时我不在耶路撒冷；因为巴比伦王亚达薛西三十二年，我回到王那里。过了多日，我向王告假。
7 And when I was come to Ierusalem, I vnderstood the euil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in that hee had made him a chamber in the court of the house of God,
我来到耶路撒冷，就知道以利亚实为多比雅在 神殿的院内预备屋子的那件恶事。
8 And it grieued me sore: therefore I cast forth all the vessels of the house of Tobiah out of the chamber.
我甚恼怒，就把多比雅的一切家具从屋里都抛出去，
9 And I commanded them to clense ye chambers: and thither brought I againe the vessels of the house of God with the meate offring and the incense.
吩咐人洁净这屋子，遂将 神殿的器皿和素祭、乳香又搬进去。
10 And I perceiued that the portions of the Leuites had not bene giuen, and that euery one was fled to his lande, euen the Leuites and singers that executed the worke.
我见利未人所当得的分无人供给他们，甚至供职的利未人与歌唱的俱各奔回自己的田地去了。
11 Then reproued I the rulers and sayd, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I assembled them, and set them in their place.
我就斥责官长说：“为何离弃 神的殿呢？”我便招聚利未人，使他们照旧供职。
12 Then brought all Iudah the tithes of corne and of wine, and of oyle vnto the treasures.
犹大众人就把五谷、新酒，和油的十分之一送入库房。
13 And I made treasurers ouer the treasures, Shelemiah the Priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Leuites, Pedaiah, and vnder their hande Hanan the sonne of Zaccur the sonne of Mattaniah: for they were counted faithfull, and their office was to distribute vnto their brethren.
我派祭司示利米雅、文士撒督，和利未人毗大雅作库官管理库房；副官是哈难。哈难是撒刻的儿子；撒刻是玛他尼的儿子。这些人都是忠信的，他们的职分是将所供给的分给他们的弟兄。
14 Remember me, O my God, herein, and wipe not out my kindenes that I haue shewed on the house of my God, and on the offices thereof.
我的 神啊，求你因这事记念我，不要涂抹我为 神的殿与其中的礼节所行的善。
15 In those dayes saw I in Iudah them, that trode wine presses on ye Sabbath, and that brought in sheaues, and which laded asses also with wine, grapes, and figges, and all burdens, and brought them into Ierusalem vpon the Sabbath day: and I protested to them in the day that they sold vitailes.
那些日子，我在犹大见有人在安息日榨酒，搬运禾捆驮在驴上，又把酒、葡萄、无花果，和各样的担子在安息日担入耶路撒冷，我就在他们卖食物的那日警戒他们。
16 There dwelt men of Tyrus also therein, which brought fish and all wares, and solde on the Sabbath vnto the children of Iudah euen in Ierusalem.
又有泰尔人住在耶路撒冷；他们把鱼和各样货物运进来，在安息日卖给犹大人。
17 Then reprooued I the rulers of Iudah, and sayd vnto them, What euil thing is this that yee doe, and breake the Sabbath day?
我就斥责犹大的贵胄说：“你们怎么行这恶事犯了安息日呢？
18 Did not your fathers thus, and our God brought all this plague vpon vs, and vpon this citie? yet yee increase the wrath vpon Israel, in breaking the Sabbath.
从前你们列祖岂不是这样行，以致我们 神使一切灾祸临到我们和这城吗？现在你们还犯安息日，使忿怒越发临到以色列！”
19 And when the gates of Ierusalem beganne to be darke before the Sabbath, I commaded to shut the gates, and charged, that they should not be opened til after the Sabbath, and some of my seruants set I at the gates, that there shoulde no burden be brought in on the Sabbath day.
在安息日的前一日，耶路撒冷城门有黑影的时候，我就吩咐人将门关锁，不过安息日不准开放。我又派我几个仆人管理城门，免得有人在安息日担什么担子进城。
20 So the chapmen and marchants of al marchandise remained once or twise all night without Ierusalem.
于是商人和贩卖各样货物的，一两次住宿在耶路撒冷城外。
21 And I protested among them, and said vnto them, Why tary ye all night about the wall? If ye do it once againe, I will lay hands vpon you. from that time came they no more on the Sabbath.
我就警戒他们说：“你们为何在城外住宿呢？若再这样，我必下手拿办你们。”从此以后，他们在安息日不再来了。
22 And I sayde vnto the Leuites, that they should clense themselues, and that they shoulde come and keepe the gates, to sanctifie the Sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and pardon me according to thy great mercy.
我吩咐利未人洁净自己，来守城门，使安息日为圣。我的 神啊，求你因这事记念我，照你的大慈爱怜恤我。
23 In those dayes also I saw Iewes that married wiues of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab.
那些日子，我也见犹大人娶了亚实突、亚扪、摩押的女子为妻。
24 And their children spake halfe in ye speach of Ashdod, and could not speake in the Iewes language, and according to the language of the one people, and of the other people.
他们的儿女说话，一半是亚实突的话，不会说犹大的话，所说的是照着各族的方言。
25 Then I reprooued them, and cursed them, and smote certaine of them, and pulled off their heare, and tooke an othe of them by God, Yee shall not giue your daughters vnto their sonnes, neither shall ye take of their daughters vnto your sonnes, nor for your selues.
我就斥责他们，咒诅他们，打了他们几个人，拔下他们的头发，叫他们指着 神起誓，必不将自己的女儿嫁给外邦人的儿子，也不为自己和儿子娶他们的女儿。
26 Did not Salomon the king of Israel sinne by these thinges? yet among many nations was there no King like him: for he was beloued of his God, and God had made him King ouer Israel: yet strange women caused him to sinne.
我又说：“以色列王所罗门不是在这样的事上犯罪吗？在多国中并没有一王像他，且蒙他 神所爱， 神立他作以色列全国的王；然而连他也被外邦女子引诱犯罪。
27 Shall wee then obey vnto you, to doe all this great euil, and to transgresse against our God, euen to marry strange wiues?
如此，我岂听你们行这大恶，娶外邦女子干犯我们的 神呢？”
28 And one of the sonnes of Ioiada the sonne of Eliashib the hie Priest was the sonne in law of Sanballat the Horonite: but I chased him from me.
大祭司以利亚实的孙子、耶何耶大的一个儿子是和伦人参巴拉的女婿，我就从我这里把他赶出去。
29 Remember them, O my God, that defile the Priesthoode, and the couenant of the Priesthoode, and of the Leuites.
我的 神啊，求你记念他们的罪；因为他们玷污了祭司的职任，违背你与祭司利未人所立的约。
30 Then cleansed I them from all strangers, and appoynted the wardes of the Priestes and of the Leuites, euery one in his office,
这样，我洁净他们，使他们离绝一切外邦人，派定祭司和利未人的班次，使他们各尽其职。
31 And for the offring of the wood at times appoynted, and for the first fruites. Remember me, O my God, in goodnes.
我又派百姓按定期献柴和初熟的土产。我的 神啊，求你记念我，施恩与我。
