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,
Ní ọjọ́ náà ni a ka ìwé Mose sókè sí etí ìgbọ́ àwọn ènìyàn, nínú rẹ̀ ni a ti rí i tí a kọ ọ́ sílẹ̀ pé a kò gbọdọ̀ gba àwọn ará a Ammoni tàbí àwọn ará a Moabu sí àárín ìjọ ènìyàn Ọlọ́run láéláé.
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.
Nítorí wọn kò mú oúnjẹ àti omi wá pàdé àwọn ọmọ Israẹli lọ́nà, dípò bẹ́ẹ̀, wọ́n bẹ Balaamu ní ọ̀wẹ̀ láti gégùn ún lé wọn lórí. (Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run wa yí ègún náà padà sí ìbùkún.)
3 Now when they had heard the Lawe, they separated from Israel all those that were mixed.
Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn gbọ́ òfin yìí, wọ́n yọ gbogbo àwọn àjèjì ènìyàn tí ó darapọ̀ mọ́ wọn kúrò láàrín àwọn Israẹli.
4 And before this had the Priest Eliashib the ouersight of the chamber of the house of our God, being kinsman to Tobiah:
Ṣáájú èyí a ti fi Eliaṣibu àlùfáà ṣe alákòóso yàrá ìkó nǹkan ilé Ọlọ́run wa sí. Ó súnmọ́ Tobiah pẹ́kípẹ́kí.
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.
Ó sì ti pèsè yàrá ńlá kan fún un, èyí tí a ń lò tẹ́lẹ̀ fún ìtọ́jú ọrẹ ọkà, tùràrí àti àwọn ohun èlò tẹmpili àti ìdámẹ́wàá ọkà, wáìnì tuntun àti òróró ti a fi lélẹ̀ bí ìlànà fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi, àwọn akọrin àti àwọn aṣọ́nà àti pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọrẹ fún àwọn àlùfáà.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí gbogbo èyí ń lọ lọ́wọ́, èmi kò sí ní Jerusalẹmu, nítorí pé ní ọdún kejìlélọ́gbọ̀n Artasasta ọba Babeli ni mo padà tọ ọba lọ. Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ó ṣe díẹ̀, mo gba ààyè lọ́dọ̀ọ rẹ̀.
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,
Mo sì padà sí Jerusalẹmu. Níhìn-ín ni mo ti mọ̀ nípa onírúurú ohun búburú tí Eliaṣibu ti ṣe ní ti pípèsè yàrá fún Tobiah nínú àgbàlá ilé Ọlọ́run.
8 And it grieued me sore: therefore I cast forth all the vessels of the house of Tobiah out of the chamber.
Kò tẹ́ mi lọ́rùn rárá, mo kó gbogbo ohun èlò ìdílé e Tobiah dà síta láti inú iyàrá náà.
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.
Mo pàṣẹ kí wọn ya àwọn iyàrá náà sí mímọ́, mo sì kó àwọn ohun èlò ilé Ọlọ́run padà síbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ọrẹ ọkà àti tùràrí.
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.
Mo sì tún gbọ́ pé, kò fi àwọn ìpín tí a yà sọ́tọ̀ fún àwọn Lefi, àwọn akọrin tí ń ṣe àkóso ìsìn sì ti padà sí ẹnu onírúurú iṣẹ́ wọn.
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.
Nígbà náà ni mo bá àwọn ìjòyè wí, mo sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Èéṣe tí a fi kọ ilé Ọlọ́run sílẹ̀?” Nígbà náà ni mo pè wọ́n jọ pọ̀, mo sì fi olúkúlùkù sí ẹnu iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
12 Then brought all Iudah the tithes of corne and of wine, and of oyle vnto the treasures.
Gbogbo Juda mú ìdámẹ́wàá ọkà, wáìnì tuntun àti òróró wá sínú yàrá ìkó nǹkan pamọ́ sí.
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.
Mo sì fi àlùfáà Ṣelemiah, Sadoku akọ̀wé àti ọmọ Lefi kan tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Pedaiah ṣe alákòóso àwọn yàrá ìkó nǹkan pamọ́ sí. Mo sì yan Hanani ọmọ Sakkuri, ọmọ Mattaniah bí olùrànlọ́wọ́ ọ wọn. Àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí ni a kà sí àwọn tó ṣé e gbẹ́kẹ̀lé. Àwọn ni a yàn láti máa pín ohun èlò fún àwọn arákùnrin wọn.
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.
Rántí ì mi fún èyí, Ọlọ́run mi, kí o má sì ṣe gbàgbé ohun tí mo fi òtítọ́ ṣe fún ilé Ọlọ́run mi yìí àti fún iṣẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀ gbogbo.
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.
Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì, mo rí àwọn ènìyàn ní Juda tí wọ́n ń fúntí ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi, tí wọ́n sì ń gbé ọkà wọlé, tí wọn ń di ẹrù lé orí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ pẹ̀lú wáìnì, èso àjàrà, ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ àti onírúurú ẹrù. Wọ́n sì ń kó gbogbo èyí wá sí Jerusalẹmu ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi. Nítorí náà, mo kìlọ̀ fún wọn nípa títa oúnjẹ ní ọjọ́ náà.
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.
Àwọn ará Tire ti ń gbé nínú Jerusalẹmu ń gbé ẹja àti onírúurú ọjà wá fún títà ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi fún àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu àti fún àwọn ọmọ Juda.
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?
Mo bá àwọn ọlọ́lá Juda wí, mo wí fún wọn pé, “Èwo ni ohun búburú tí ẹ ń ṣe yìí ti ẹ ń ba ọjọ́ ìsinmi jẹ́.
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.
Ṣé àwọn baba ńlá yín kò ha ti ṣe nǹkan kan náà tí Ọlọ́run wa fi mú gbogbo àjálù yìí wá orí wa, àti sórí ìlú yìí? Báyìí, ẹ̀yin tún ń ru ìbínú sókè sí i sórí Israẹli nípa bíba ọjọ́ ìsinmi jẹ́.”
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.
Nígbà tí ojú ọjọ́ ń bora ní ẹnu ibodè Jerusalẹmu, ṣáájú ọjọ́ ìsinmi, mo pàṣẹ pé kí a ti àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn, kí wọn má sì ṣí i títí tí ọjọ́ ìsinmi yóò fi kọjá. Mo yan àwọn ìránṣẹ́ mi láti ṣọ́ ẹnu ibodè, kí a má ba à lè gbé ẹrù kankan wọlé ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi.
20 So the chapmen and marchants of al marchandise remained once or twise all night without Ierusalem.
Síbẹ̀, àwọn tí ń tà àti àwọn tí ń rà sùn ẹ̀yìn odi Jerusalẹmu ní ẹ̀ẹ̀kan tàbí ẹ̀ẹ̀mejì.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n mo kìlọ̀ fún wọn pé, “Èétijẹ́ ti ẹ̀yin fi ń sùn ní ẹ̀yin odi ní òru? Bí ẹ̀yìn bá tún dánwò mọ́, èmi yóò fi ọwọ́ líle mú yín.” Láti ọjọ́ náà lọ, wọn kò sì wá ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi mọ́.
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.
Nígbà náà ni mo pàṣẹ fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi pé kí wọn ya ara wọn sí mímọ́, kí wọn sì ṣọ́ ẹnu ibodè kí a lè pa ọjọ́ ìsinmi mọ́. Tún rántí mi fún èyí, Ọlọ́run mi, kí o sì fi àánú un rẹ hàn fún mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí i títóbi ìfẹ́ ẹ̀ rẹ.
23 In those dayes also I saw Iewes that married wiues of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab.
Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì, mo rí àwọn ọkùnrin Juda tí wọ́n fẹ́ àwọn obìnrin láti Aṣdodu, Ammoni àti Moabu.
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.
Ìdajì àwọn ọmọ wọn ń sọ èdè Aṣdodu tàbí èdè ọ̀kan lára àwọn ènìyàn mìíràn tókù, wọn kò sì mọ bí a ṣe ń sọ èdè Juda.
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.
Mo bá wọn wí mo sì gégùn ún lé wọn lórí. Mo lu àwọn ènìyàn díẹ̀ nínú wọn mo sì fa irun orí wọn tu. Mo mú kí wọn búra ní orúkọ Ọlọ́run, kí wọn wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin kì yóò fi àwọn ọmọbìnrin wọn fún àwọn ọmọkùnrin yín ní ìyàwó tàbí fún ẹ̀yin tìkára yín.
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.
Kì í ha á ṣe àwọn ìgbéyàwó bí irú èyí ni ọba Solomoni fi dá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀? Láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, kò sí ọba kan bí i tirẹ̀. Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ fẹ́ràn rẹ̀, Ọlọ́run sì fi jẹ ọba lórí i gbogbo Israẹli, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn obìnrin àjèjì ti sọ ọ́ sínú òfin ẹ̀ṣẹ̀.
27 Shall wee then obey vnto you, to doe all this great euil, and to transgresse against our God, euen to marry strange wiues?
Ǹjẹ́ ó ha yẹ kí àwa tún gbọ́ báyìí pé ẹ̀yin náà tún ń ṣe àwọn nǹkan tí ó burú jọjọ wọ̀nyí tí ẹ sì ń ṣe aláìṣòótọ́ sí Ọlọ́run wa nípa fífẹ́ àwọn obìnrin àjèjì?”
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.
Ọ̀kan lára àwọn ọmọ Joiada, ọmọ Eliaṣibu olórí àlùfáà jẹ́ àna Sanballati ará a Horoni. Mo sì lé e jáde kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi.
29 Remember them, O my God, that defile the Priesthoode, and the couenant of the Priesthoode, and of the Leuites.
Rántí wọn, Ọlọ́run mi, nítorí wọ́n ti ba iṣẹ́ àlùfáà jẹ́ pẹ̀lú májẹ̀mú iṣẹ́ àlùfáà àti ti àwọn Lefi.
30 Then cleansed I them from all strangers, and appoynted the wardes of the Priestes and of the Leuites, euery one in his office,
Nítorí náà, mo ya àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn Lefi sí mímọ́ kúrò nínú gbogbo ohun àjèjì, mo sì yan iṣẹ́ fún wọn, olúkúlùkù sí ẹnu iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
31 And for the offring of the wood at times appoynted, and for the first fruites. Remember me, O my God, in goodnes.
Mo sì tún pèsè fún ọrẹ, igi—pákó ní àkókò tí a yàn àti fún àwọn èso àkọ́so. Rántí mi fún rere, Ọlọ́run mi.
