Nehemiah 13
1 On that day there was read in the book of Moses before the ears of the people; and there was found written therein, that no 'Ammonite or Moabite should come into the congregation of God for ever;
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 had not met the children of Israel with bread and with water, but had hired Bil'am against them, that he should curse them; although our God had changed the 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 And it tame to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated all the alien mixture from Israel.
Sa’ad da mutane suka ji wannan doka, sai suka ware daga Isra’ila duk waɗanda suke na baƙon zuriya.
4 And before this, Elyashib the priest, appointed over the chambers of the house of our God, and a near [of kin] unto Tobiyah,
Kafin wannan, an sa Eliyashib firist yă lura da ɗakuna ajiyar gidan Allahnmu. Yana da dangantaka na kurkusa da Tobiya,
5 Had prepared for him a large chamber, where they had laid in former times the meat-offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, which was ordained for the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers, and the heave-offering of 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 But during all this I was not at Jerusalem; for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king of Babylon I went back unto the king, and after the lapse of some time I obtained by request [leave] of the king;
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 And I came to Jerusalem, and perceived the evil that Elyashib had done for Tobiyah, in preparing for him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.
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 And it displeased me greatly: wherefore I cast forth all the household vessels of Tobiyah away out of the chamber.
Na ɓace rai ƙwarai na kuma zubar da dukan kayan gidan Tobiya daga ɗakin.
9 And I gave the order, whereupon they cleansed the chambers; and I had brought thither again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat-offering and the frankincense.
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 And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given [them]: so that the Levites and the singers, that used to do the work, were fled every one to his field.
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 Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why hath the house of God become forsaken? And I gathered them together, and placed them on their posts.
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 And all Judah brought the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries.
Dukan Yahuda suka kawo zakan hatsi, sabon ruwan inabi da mai cikin ɗakunan ajiya.
13 And I appointed receivers over the treasuries, Shelemyah the priest and Zadok the scribe, and Pedayah of the Levites; and with them acted Chanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Matthanyah; for they were accounted as faithful, and it was their duty to make a distribution among their brethren.
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 Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my pious deeds which I have done for the house of my God, and for those that had charge of it.
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 In those days I saw in Judah some treading wine-presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading burdens on asses, as also wine, grapes and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day; and I warned them on the day whereon they sold provisions.
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 Also the men of Tyre [that] dwelt therein brought fish and all kinds of wares, and sold [them] on the sabbath unto the children of Judah and in Jerusalem.
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 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this which ye are doing, and profaning [thereby] the sabbath day?
Sai na tsawata wa manyan Yahuda na ce musu, “Wanda irin mugun abu ke nan kuke yi, kuna ƙazantar da ranar Asabbaci?
18 Did not your fathers act thus, wherefore our God brought over us all this evil, and over this city? and ye bring yet more wrath over Israel by profaning 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 And it came to pass, that, when the shadows were lengthened in the gates of Jerusalem before the sabbath, I gave the order, whereupon the gates were locked, and I ordered that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my young men did I place at the gates, that there should be brought in no burden 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 But the merchants and sellers of all kinds of wares lodged outside of Jerusalem once or twice.
Sau ɗaya ko biyu,’yan kasuwa da masu sayar da kowane irin kaya suka kwana waje da Urushalima.
21 Thereupon did I warn them, and said unto them, Why do ye lodge along the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth they came no more 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 And I ordered the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep watch at the gates, to sanctify the sabbath-day. Also this remember unto me, O my God, and shield me according to the abundance of thy kindness.
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 In those days also I saw certain Jews that had brought home wives of Ashdod, of 'Ammon, and of Moab:
Ban da haka, a waɗannan kwanakin na ga mutanen Yahuda waɗanda suka auri mata daga Ashdod, Ammon da Mowab.
24 And their children spoke partly in the speech of Ashdod, and did not understand to speak in the Jewish language, but according to the language of one or the other people.
Rabin’ya’yansu suna yaren Ashdod ko kuwa wani yare na waɗansu mutane, ba su kuwa san yadda za su yi Yahudanci ba.
25 And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked out their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, nor for yourselves.
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 Did not Solomon the king of Israel sin by these things? and although among the many nations there was never a king like him, and beloved as he was by his God, and God had placed him as king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did the alien women mislead to sin.
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 Shall we then hear it said of you, that ye do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in bringing home alien wives?
Yanzu za mu ji cewa ku ma kuna yin duk wannan mugunta kuna zama marasa aminci ga Allahnmu ta wurin auren baren mata?”
28 And one of the sons of Joyada', the son of Elyashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Choronite; wherefore I chased him away from me.
Ɗaya daga cikin’ya’yan Yohiyada maza, ɗan Eliyashib babban firist, surukin Sanballat mutumin Horon ne. Na kuwa kore shi daga wurina.
29 Remember [this] unto them, O my God, because of the defilements of the priesthood, and of the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.
Ka tuna da su, ya Allahna, domin sun ƙazantar da aikin firist da kuma alkawarin aikin firist da na Lawiyawa.
30 Thus cleansed I them from all aliens, and I appointed the watches of the priests and the Levites, every one in his work;
Saboda haka na tsarkake firistoci da Lawiyawa daga kowane baƙon abu, na kuma ba su aikinsu, kowa ga aikinsa.
31 And for the procuring of the wood, at fixed time, and for the first-fruits. Remember this unto me, O my God, for good.
Na kuma yi tanadi don sadakokin itace a ƙayyadaddun lokuta, da kuma don nunan fari. Ka tuna da ni da alheri, ya Allahna.
