Nehemiah 13
1 On that day there was read in the scroll of Moses, in the ears of the people, and it has been found written in it that an Ammonite and Moabite does not come into the assembly of God for all time,
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 have not come before the sons of Israel with bread and with water, and hire against them Balaam to revile them, and our God turns the reviling 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 And it comes to pass, at their hearing the Law, that they separate all the mixed people from Israel.
Ke mwet Israel elos lohng ma sap se inge ke ritiyukla, elos srela mwetsac nukewa liki inmasrlolos.
4 And before this Eliashib the priest, appointed over chambers of the house of our God, [is] a relation of 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 makes for him a great chamber, and there they were formerly putting the present, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithe of the grain, the new wine, and the oil—the commanded thing of the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers—and the raised-offering 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 And during all this I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I came to the king, and at the end of days I have asked 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 I come to Jerusalem, and understand concerning the evil that Eliashib has done for Tobiah, to make to him a chamber in the courts 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 is very displeasing to me, and I cast all the vessels of the house of Tobiah outside, out of the chamber,
Nga kasrkusrak ac sisla ma nukewa lal Tobiah.
9 and I command, and they cleanse the chambers, and I bring back there the vessels of the house of God with the present and the frankincense.
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 know that the portions of the Levites have not been given, and they flee each to his field—the Levites and the singers, doing the work.
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 And I strive with the prefects, and say, “Why has the house of God been forsaken?” And I gather them, and set them on their station;
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 and all Judah has brought in the tithe of the grain, and of the new wine, and of the oil, to the treasuries.
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 appoint treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites; and by their hand [is] Hanan son of Zaccur, son of Mattaniah, for they have been reckoned steadfast, and on them [it is] to give a portion to their brothers.
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 Be mindful of me, O my God, for this, and do not blot out my kind acts that I have done, for the house of my God, and for its charges.
O God luk, esam ma inge nukewa su nga oru nu ke Tempul lom, ac nu ke alu in lohm sum.
15 In those days I have seen in Judah those treading wine-vats on Sabbath, and bringing in the sheaves, and loading on the donkeys, and also, wine, grapes, and figs, and every burden, indeed, they are bringing into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, and I testify in the day of their selling provision.
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 And the Tyrians have dwelt in it, bringing in fish, and every ware, and selling on Sabbath to the sons of Judah and in Jerusalem.
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 And I strive with the nobles of Judah, and say to them, “What [is] this evil thing that you are doing, and defiling 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 Thus did not your fathers do? And our God brings in on us all this evil, and on this city, and you are adding fierceness on Israel, to defile 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 it comes to pass, when the gates of Jerusalem have been dark before the Sabbath, that I command, and the doors are shut, and I command that they do not open them until after the Sabbath; and of my servants I have stationed at the gates; there does not come in a burden 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 And they lodge—the merchants and sellers of all ware—at the outside of Jerusalem, once or twice,
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 testify against them, and say to them, “Why are you lodging in front of the wall? If you repeat [it], I put forth a hand on you”; from that time they have not come in 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 command to the Levites that they be cleansed, and coming in, keeping the gates, to sanctify the Sabbath day. Also, this, remember for me, O my God, and have pity on me, according to the abundance of Your kindness.
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 Also, in those days, I have seen the Jews [who] have settled women of Ashdod, of Ammon, of Moab.
In pacl sac, nga konauk pac lah pus mukul Jew payuk nu sin mutan Ashdod, Ammon, ac Moab.
24 And of their sons, half are speaking Ashdoditish—and are not knowing to speak Jewish—and according to the language of people and people.
Tafu tulik natulos kaskaskin kas Ashdod ku kutu pac kas saya, ac nikin kas lasr uh.
25 And I strive with them, and declare them vile, and strike certain of them, and pluck off their hair, and cause them to swear by God, “You do not give your daughters to their sons, nor do you take of their daughters to your sons, and to yourselves.
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 By these did not Solomon king of Israel sin? And among the many nations there was no king like him, and he was beloved by his God, and God makes him king over all Israel—even him [whom] the strange women caused to sin.
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 And do we listen to you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God, to settle strange women?”
Ya kut ac ukwe srikasrak lowos ac seakos God lasr, ac payuk nu sin mutan sac?”
28 And [one] of the sons of Joiada son of Eliashib the high priest, [is] son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite, and I cause him to flee from off 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 Be mindful of them, O my God, for the redeemed of the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.
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 And I have cleansed them from every stranger, and appoint charges to priests and to Levites, each in his work,
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 wood-offering at appointed times, and for first-fruits. Be mindful of me, O my God, for good.
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.
