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,
Tai dienā Mozus grāmatā lasīja priekš ļaužu ausīm un tur atrada rakstītu, ka Amoniešiem un Moabiešiem ne mūžam nebūs nākt Dieva draudzē,
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.
Tāpēc ka viņi nebija nākuši pretī Israēla bērniem ar maizi un ar ūdeni, bet pret tiem bija derējuši Bileāmu, viņus nolādēt, lai gan mūsu Dievs lāstu pārvērta par svētību.
3 And it comes to pass, at their hearing the Law, that they separate all the mixed people from Israel.
Tad notikās, ka šo bauslību dzirdot tie visus svešiniekus atšķīra no Israēla.
4 And before this Eliashib the priest, appointed over chambers of the house of our God, [is] a relation of Tobiah,
Un priesteris Elijašibs, kas bija iecelts pār mūsu Dieva nama kambari, papriekš bija sadraudzējies ar Tobiju,
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.
Un viņam bija taisījis lielu kambari, kur tie papriekš bija nolikuši ēdamo upuri, vīraku un rīkus un labības, vīna un eļļas desmitos, kas kļuva nodoti priekš levitiem un dziedātājiem un vārtu sargiem, līdz ar priesteru cilājamo upuri.
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,
Bet viss tas notika, kamēr es Jeruzālemē nebiju; jo Artakserksus, Bābeles ķēniņa, trīsdesmit otrā gadā es nācu pie ķēniņa, un pēc kāda laika es to no ķēniņa izlūdzos.
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,
Kad es nu nācu uz Jeruzālemi un samanīju to ļaunumu, ko Elijašibs priekš Tobijas bija darījis, viņam kambari taisīdams Dieva nama pagalmos,
8 and it is very displeasing to me, and I cast all the vessels of the house of Tobiah outside, out of the chamber,
Tad tas man ļoti rieba, un es izmetu visas Tobijas nama lietas no tā kambara ārā.
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.
Es arī pavēlēju, to kambari šķīstīt, un es atkal tur ienesu Dieva nama rīkus ar ēdamo upuri un vīraku.
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.
Es arī samanīju, ka levitiem viņu daļa nebija dota, tā ka leviti un dziedātāji, kas to darbu darījuši, bija aizmukuši ikkatrs uz savu tīrumu.
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;
Tad es bāros ar tiem virsniekiem un sacīju: kāpēc Dieva nams ir atstāts? Un es tos sapulcināju un tos atkal iecēlu viņu vietā.
12 and all Judah has brought in the tithe of the grain, and of the new wine, and of the oil, to the treasuries.
Tad visa Jūda valsts atnesa to desmito no labības un no vīna un no eļļas mantas namos.
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.
Un es par mantu sargiem iecēlu priesteri Šelemiju un rakstu mācītāju Cadoku un Pedaju no levitiem, un viņiem pa roku Hananu, Zakura, Matanijas dēla, dēlu; jo šie tapa turēti par uzticamiem, un tiem tapa uzlikts, lai izdala saviem brāļiem.
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.
Piemini mani, mans Dievs, par to un neizdeldē manu labdarīšanu, ko esmu darījis pie sava Dieva nama un pie viņa kalpošanas!
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.
Tanīs dienās es Jūdā redzēju, ka vīna spaidus mina svētā dienā, un ka kūlīšus saņēma, ko uz ēzeļiem krāva, vīnu, vīna ķekarus un vīģes un visādu nastu, un svētā dienā ienesa Jeruzālemē, un es tai dienā (pret tiem) devu liecību, kad tie barību pārdeva.
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.
Tur arī Tirieši dzīvoja, kas zivis atnesa un visādu preci, un to pārdeva svētā dienā Jūda bērniem un Jeruzālemē.
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?
Tad es bāros ar Jūda virsniekiem un uz tiem sacīju: kas tas par ļaunu darbu, ko jūs darāt un pārkāpjat svēto dienu?
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.”
Vai jūsu tēvi tā nav darījuši, un mūsu Dievs ir vedis visu šo nelaimi pār mums un pār šo pilsētu? Un jūs vairojiet tās dusmas pār Israēli, pārkāpdami svēto dienu!
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.
Un notikās svētai dienai nākot, kad tumšs metās Jeruzālemes vārtos, tad es pavēlēju durvis aizslēgt un neatdarīt, kamēr svētā diena pagājusi. Un no saviem puišiem es kādus liku pie vārtiem, ka nekādu nastu tur neienestu svētā dienā.
20 And they lodge—the merchants and sellers of all ware—at the outside of Jerusalem, once or twice,
Tad tie zāļu un visādas preces pārdevēji palika pa nakti ārā Jeruzālemes priekšā vienreiz un otrreiz.
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.
Un es pret tiem apliecināju un uz tiem sacīju: kāpēc jūs pa nakti paliekat pie mūra? Ja jūs to atkal darīsiet, tad es jūs grābšu rokā. No tā laika tie vairs nenāca svētā dienā.
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.
Un levitiem es sacīju, lai šķīstās un nāk vārtus sargāt, ka svētā diena taptu svētīta. Arī par to piemini mani, mans Dievs, un žēlo mani pēc Tavas lielās žēlastības!
23 Also, in those days, I have seen the Jews [who] have settled women of Ashdod, of Ammon, of Moab.
Es tanīs dienās arī redzēju Jūdus, kas bija apņēmuši Ašdodiešu, Amoniešu un Moabiešu sievas.
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.
Un viņu bērni runāja pus Ašdodiski un nemācēja Jūdiski runāt, bet pēc abēju tautu valodas.
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.
Tad es ar tiem bāros un tos lādēju un situ kādus no tiem un tiem plūcu matus un tiem liku pie Dieva zvērēt, jums nebūs savas meitas dot viņu dēliem, nedz ņemt viņu meitas saviem dēliem nedz sev.
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.
Vai šo dēļ Salamans, Israēla ķēniņš, nav apgrēkojies? Jebšu nevienai tautai tāds ķēniņš nav bijis, kāds viņš bija, un viņš savam Dievam bija mīļš, un Dievs viņu bija iecēlis par ķēniņu pār visu Israēli, un tomēr ir tādu tās svešās sievas paveda uz grēkiem.
27 And do we listen to you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God, to settle strange women?”
Vai tad mēs jums klausīsim un visu tādu lielu ļaunumu darīsim noziegdamies pret savu Dievu, ka apņemam svešas sievas?
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.
Un viens no Jojada, Elijašiba dēla, tā augstā priestera, bērniem bija par znotu palicis Sanebalatam, tam Horonietim, tāpēc es viņu aizdzinu no sevis projām.
29 Be mindful of them, O my God, for the redeemed of the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.
Piemini viņus, mans Dievs, tāpēc ka tie sagānījuši priesteru amatu un priesteru un levitu derību!
30 And I have cleansed them from every stranger, and appoint charges to priests and to Levites, each in his work,
Tā es tos šķīstīju no visiem svešiem ieradumiem un noliku priesteriem un levitiem, ikkatram savu darīšanu savā kalpošanā,
31 and for the wood-offering at appointed times, and for first-fruits. Be mindful of me, O my God, for good.
Un to malkas došanu noliktos laikos un tos pirmajus. Piemini, mans Dievs, man to par labu!
