< 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,
Ke pacl se Ma Sap lal Moses ritiyuk nu sin mwet uh, elos rit nwe sun acn se ma fahk mu wangin mwet Ammon ku mwet Moab fah filfilla in kupasryang nu sin mwet lun God nwe tok,
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.
ke sripen mwet Ammon ac mwet Moab elos tuh tia sang mongo ac kof nu sin mwet Israel ke elos illa liki Egypt, a elos moli nu sel Balaam tuh elan selngawi mwet Israel. Tusruktu God lasr El furokla selnga sac nu ke sie mwe insewowo.
3 Now when they had heard the Lawe, they separated from Israel all those that were mixed.
Ke mwet Israel elos lohng ma sap se inge ke ritiyukla, elos srela mwetsac nukewa liki inmasrlolos.
4 And before this had the Priest Eliashib the ouersight of the chamber of the house of our God, being kinsman to Tobiah:
Mwet tol Eliashib, su ma kunal in liyaung infukil in filma lun Tempul, el tuh kawuk nu sel Tobiah ke pacl na loes.
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.
Na el fuhlela Tobiah elan orekmakin sie infukil lulap su ma na nu ke karinginyen mwe sang ke wheat ac mwe keng ac kufwen orekma lun Tempul, oayapa mwe sang nu sin mwet tol, ac sie tafu singoul ke wheat, wain, ac oil in olive ma itukyang nu sin mwet Levi, mwet on lun Tempul, ac mwet karingin mutunpot lun Tempul.
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.
Ke pacl ma inge orek uh, nga wangin Jerusalem, mweyen ke yac se aktolngoul luo ma Artaxerxes el tokosra lun Babylon, nga tuh folokla in akkalemye nu sel ma sikyak in Jerusalem. Tukun kutu len, nga siyuk sin tokosra
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,
tuh nga in sifil folokla nu Jerusalem. Ke nga sun acn we nga tuh arulana lut ke nga konauk tuh Eliashib el fuhlela Tobiah elan orekmakin sie fukil in Tempul.
8 And it grieued me sore: therefore I cast forth all the vessels of the house of Tobiah out of the chamber.
Nga kasrkusrak ac sisla ma nukewa lal Tobiah.
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.
Nga sap tuh fukil inge in aknasnasyeyukla fal nu ke oakwuk lun alu lasr, ac kufwa nukewa lun Tempul ac mwe kisa wheat ac mwe keng in sifil folokyang nu loac.
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.
Nga lohng pac lah mwet on lun Tempul ac mwet Levi saya elos som liki acn Jerusalem ac folokla nu ke ima lalos, mweyen mwet uh tia kitalos ke ma fal nu selos in moulkin.
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.
Nga mulat nu sin mwet kol lah elos fuhlela in pilesreyuk Tempul uh. Ac nga folokonma mwet Levi ac mwet on nu in Tempul, ac sap elos in sifil oru orekma kunalos.
12 Then brought all Iudah the tithes of corne and of wine, and of oyle vnto the treasures.
Na mwet Israel nukewa sifilpa mutawauk in use sie tafu singoul lalos ke wheat, wain, ac oil in olive nu infukil in filma in Tempul.
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.
Nga sulela mwet inge in liyaung infukil in filma: Shelemiah su sie mwet tol, Zadok su sie mwet sasla ke Ma Sap, ac Pedaiah su sie mwet Levi. Hanan, wen natul Zaccur su wen natul Mattaniah, pa mwet kasru lalos. Nga etu lah nga ku in lulalfongi mwet inge in kitalik ma utukeni nu sin mwet orekma wialos ke inkanek suwohs.
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.
O God luk, esam ma inge nukewa su nga oru nu ke Tempul lom, ac nu ke alu in lohm sum.
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.
In pacl sac nga liye mwet in acn Judah elos fut grape in wain ke len Sabbath. Ac kutu mwet uh til wheat, wain, grape, fig, ac kutu ma saya nu fin donkey natulos, ac us utyak nu Jerusalem. Na nga fahkang elos in tia kukakin kutena ma ke len Sabbath.
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.
Oasr pac kutu mwet Tyre tuku muta Jerusalem, ac elos use ik ac kain in ma nukewa nu in siti uh in kukakin nu sin mwet lasr ke len Sabbath.
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?
Nga mulat nu sin mwet kol lun mwet Jew ac fahk nu selos, “Liye ma koluk kowos oru ingan! Kowos akkolukyela len Sabbath!
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.
Pa inge sripa se oru God El kalyei mwet lowos meet ah, ac oru tuh in kunausyukla siti se inge. A kowos srakna oru tuh kasrkusrak lun God in yokelik nu fin Israel ke kowos aklusrongtenye len Sabbath.”
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.
Ouinge nga sapkin tuh mutunpot in siti uh in kaul ke mutaweyen len Sabbath nukewa, ke tufahna ekela na kauli ac tia sifil ikakla nwe ke safla len Sabbath. Nga filiya kutu sin mwet luk in tu sisken mutunpot, in liye tuh in wangin ma utukyak nu in siti uh ke len Sabbath.
20 So the chapmen and marchants of al marchandise remained once or twise all night without Ierusalem.
Oasr pacl se ku luo, mwet kuka ke kutena kain mwe kuka, elos sisla fong in Friday nufon se likin pot lun siti uh.
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.
Nga fahk nu selos, “Wangin sripa kowos in muta ingan ac soano in lenelik. Kowos fin sifil oru, nga ac lain kowos ke ku luk.” Tukun pacl sac me elos tia sifil tuku ke len Sabbath.
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.
Nga sapkin tuh mwet Levi in sifacna aknasnasyalos, ac som taran mutunpot, ac karingin tuh in akmutalyeyuk na len Sabbath. O God, esamyu pac ke ma se inge, ac moliyula ke sripen yokna lungkulang lom.
23 In those dayes also I saw Iewes that married wiues of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab.
In pacl sac, nga konauk pac lah pus mukul Jew payuk nu sin mutan Ashdod, Ammon, ac Moab.
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.
Tafu tulik natulos kaskaskin kas Ashdod ku kutu pac kas saya, ac nikin kas lasr uh.
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.
Nga mulat nu selos, ac selngawelos, ac puokolos ac siki aunsifalos. Na nga oru tuh elos in fulahk Inen God tuh elos, ac tulik natulos, ac fah tia sifilpa apayuki yurin mwetsac.
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.
Nga fahk nu selos, “Mutan sac pa pwanang koluk lal Tokosra Solomon. El fulat liki tokosra nukewa lun mutunfacl saya, ac God El lungse el ac oru tuh elan tokosra fin Israel nufon. Finne ouinge, a mutan sac uh akkolukyalla.
27 Shall wee then obey vnto you, to doe all this great euil, and to transgresse against our God, euen to marry strange wiues?
Ya kut ac ukwe srikasrak lowos ac seakos God lasr, ac payuk nu sin mutan sac?”
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.
Joiada el wen natul Eliashib, Mwet Tol Fulat. Na sie sin wen natul Joiada el payuk sin acn natul Sanballat, sie mwet Beth Horon. Ouinge nga supwalla Joiada elan som liki Jerusalem.
29 Remember them, O my God, that defile the Priesthoode, and the couenant of the Priesthoode, and of the Leuites.
O God, esam lah mwet inge elos akkolukye orekma fulat lun mwet tol, oayapa wulela ma kom tuh orala yurin mwet tol ac mwet Levi.
30 Then cleansed I them from all strangers, and appoynted the wardes of the Priestes and of the Leuites, euery one in his office,
Nga aknasnasye mwet uh liki ma nukewa su tuku saya me, ac nga oakiya ma sap nu sin mwet tol ac mwet Levi, tuh kais sie selos in etu orekma kunalos.
31 And for the offring of the wood at times appoynted, and for the first fruites. Remember me, O my God, in goodnes.
Nga orala oakwuk nu ke etong ma ac orekmakinyuk nu ke mwe kisa firir in utuku ke pacl fal, oayapa tuh mwet uh in use fahko se meet ke wheat ac ke fokinsak. Esam ma inge nukewa, O God, ac akwoyeyu kac.
