< Nehemiah 13 >

1 On that day, a portion, was read in the book of Moses, in the ears of the people, —and it was found written therein, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not enter into the convocation of God, unto times age-abiding;
Iti dayta nga aldaw, imbasa dagiti padi ti Libro ni Moises a mangmangngeg dagiti tattao. Naduktalanda a nakasurat iti daytoy a nasken a saan a makitipon dagiti Ammonita wenno Moabita iti taripnong ti Dios, iti agnanayon.
2 because they met not the sons of Israel, with bread and with water, —but hired against them Balaam, to curse them, although our God turned the curse into a blessing.
Gapu ta saanda a nangted iti tinapay ken danum kadagiti tattao ti Israel, ngem ketdi tinangdananda ni Balaam a mangilunod iti Israel. Nupay kasta, pinagbalin ti Diostayo ti lunod a bendision.
3 So it came to pass, when they had heard the law, —that they separated all the mixed multitude from Israel.
Apaman a nangngegda ti linteg, inlasinda dagiti amin a gangannaet manipud iti Israel.
4 Now, before this, Eliashib the priest, who was set over a chamber of the house of God, was allied unto Tobiah;
Ita, sakbay a nadutokan ni Eliasib a padi a mangaywan kadagiti siled a pagiduldulinan iti balay ti Diostayo. Gayyemnan ni Tobias.
5 so he prepared him a large chamber, where aforetime they used to lay the meal-offering, the frankincense, and the utensils, and the tithe of the corn, the new wine and the oil, in charge of the Levites, and the singers, and the doorkeepers, —and the heave-offerings for the priests.
Insagana ni Eliasib ti dakkel a siled a pagiduldulinan para kenni Tobias, a sigud a pagikabkabilanda kadagiti daton a bukbukel, kadagiti insenso, kadagiti alikamen, ken kadagiti apagkapullo ti trigo, baro nga arak, ken ti lana, a nairanta para kadagiti Levita, kadagiti kumakanta, kadagiti guardia ti ruangan, ken kadagiti kontribusion para kadagiti papadi.
6 But, throughout all this [time], was I not in Jerusalem, —for, in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon, I came unto the king, and, at the end of certain days, obtained I leave of the king;
Ngem iti tiempo a mapaspasamak amin dagitoy, awanak idiay Jerusalem. Gapu ta iti maikatallopulo ket dua a tawen a panagari ni Artaxerxes iti Babilonia, napanak iti ayan ti ari. Saan a nagbayag, nagkiddawak iti ari iti pammalubos a pumanaw,
7 and came to Jerusalem, —and had intelligence of the wickedness which Eliashib had committed for Tobiah, in preparing for him a chamber, in the courts of the house of God;
ket nagsubliak idiay Jerusalem. Natakuatak ti dakes nga inaramid ni Eliasib a panangipaaramatna kenni Tobias iti siled a pagiduldulinan iti paraangan iti balay ti Dios.
8 and it grieved me exceedingly, —and I cast forth all the household utensils of Tobiah, outside of the chamber.
Kasta unay ti ungetko ket impurruakko dagiti alikamen ni Tobias iti ruar ti siled a pagiduldulinan.
9 Then commanded I, and they purified the chambers, —and I put back there, the utensils of the house of God, the meal-offering and the frankincense.
Imbilinko nga aramidenda ti seremonia ti pannakadalus kadagiti siled a pagiduldulinan, ket insublik kadagitoy dagiti alikamen iti balay ti Dios, dagiti daton a trigo, ken ti insenso.
10 Then came I to know, that, the portions of the Levites, had not been given [them], —so that the Levites and the singers, who had been doing the work, had fled every one to his field.
Ken natakuatak a saan a naibunong kadagiti Levita dagiti bingay a nairanta a maited kadakuada, isu a dagus a pinanawanda ti templo, ket nagturong ti tunggal maysa iti talonna, kasta met ti inaramid dagiti kumakanta nga agserserbi.
11 Therefore contended I with the deputies, and said, Wherefore is the house of God, forsaken? So I gathered them together, and set them in their place.
Isu nga inungtak dagiti opisial ket kinunak kadakuada, “Apayen a nabaybay-an ti balay ti Dios?” Inummongko ida ken pinaggianko ida kadagiti kampoda.
12 Then, all Judah, brought in the tithe of corn, and new wine, and oil, unto the treasuries;
Ket inyeg dagiti amin a taga-Juda ti apagkapullo ti trigo, baro nga arak, ken ti lana kadagiti siled a pagiduldulinan.
13 and I made treasurers over the treasuries—Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah from among the Levites, and, next unto them, Hanan son of Zaccur, son of Mattaniah, —for faithful were they accounted, and it was [laid] upon them to distribute unto their brethren.
Insaadko a kas tresurero kadagiti siled a pagiduldulinan da Selemias a padi, Zadok nga eskriba, ken Pedaias a nagtaud iti Levita. Sumaruno kadakuada ni Hanan a putot ni Zaccur a putot ni Matanias, gapu ta ammok a mapagtalkak ida. Ti trabahoda ket agibunong kadagiti abasto kadagiti padada nga agtrabtrabaho.
14 Remember me, O my God, concerning this, —and do not wipe out my lovingkindnesses, which I have done for the house of my God, and for those keeping charge thereof.
Laglagipem, O Diosko ti maipapan iti daytoy, ken saanmo koma a punasen dagiti nasasayaat nga inaramidko para iti balay ti Diosko ken dagiti trabaho iti daytoy.
15 In those days, saw I in Judah—some treading winepresses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves and lading asses, moreover also wine, grapes, and figs, and every kind of burden, which they were bringing into Jerusalem on the sabbath day, —so I protested against it, as a day for them to sell provisions.
Kadidiay nga aldaw, nakakitaak kadagiti tattao idiay Juda nga agpespespes iti ubas iti Aldaw a Panaginana ken agaw-awitda kadagiti trigo ket ilugluganda dagitoy kadagiti asnoda, ken kasta met ti arak, ubas, igos, ken amin a kita dagiti nadagsen a karga sada inyeg idiay Jerusalem iti Aldaw a Panaginana. Nagririak ta aglaklakoda kadagiti taraon iti dayta nga aldaw.
16 And, men of Tyre, dwelt therein, who were bringing in fish—and every kind of ware for sale, —and were selling, on the sabbath, to the sons of Judah, and in Jerusalem;
Nagisangpet dagiti lallaki a taga-Tiro nga agnanaed idiay Jerusalem iti lames ken amin a kita ti magatang, ket inlakoda dagitoy kadagiti tattao ti Juda ken iti entero a siudad iti Aldaw a Panaginana!
17 so I contended with the nobles of Judah, —and said unto them, What is this wicked thing which, ye, are doing, and profaning the sabbath day?
Binabalawko ngarud dagiti pangulo ti Juda, “Ania daytoy a dakes nga ar-aramidenyo, saanyo a raraemen ti Aldaw a Panaginana?
18 Was it not, thus, your fathers did, and our God brought upon us all this calamity, and upon this city?—and, ye, would add indignation against Israel, by profaning the sabbath!
Saan kadi nga inaramid dagiti ammayo daytoy? Ken saan kadi nga inyeg ti Diostayo amin dagitoy a dakes kadatayo ken iti daytoy a siudad? Ita, ad-adda pay a pagpungpungtotenyo ti Dios iti Israel gapu iti saanyo a panagraem iti Aldaw a Panaginana.”
19 And it came to pass, when the gates of Jerusalem made a shadow before the sabbath, then gave I word, and they shut the doors, and I gave word, that they should not open them, until after the sabbath, —and, some of my young men, set I near the gates, so that no burden should be brought in, on the sabbath day.
Apaman a sumipnget iti ruangan ti Jerusalem sakbay a mangrugi ti Aldaw a Panaginana, imbilinko a marikpan dagiti ridaw ken nasken a saan a maluktan dagitoy agingga a malpas ti Aldaw a Panaginana. Pinagbantayko dagiti sumagmamano kadagiti adipenko iti ruangan tapno awan ti karga a maiyuneg iti Aldaw a Panaginana.
20 But the traders and sellers of all kinds of wares lodged outside Jerusalem once or twice.
Naminsan wenno namindua a nagkampo dagiti komersiante ken dagiti aglaklako iti amin a kita ti tagilako iti ruar ti Jerusalem.
21 Therefore I testified against them, and said unto them, Wherefore are ye lodging against the wall? if ye do it again, a hand, will I thrust upon you, —From that time, they came not on the sabbath.
Ngem binallaagak ida, “Apay ngay nga agkamkampokayo iti ruar ti pader? No aramidenyonto pay daytoy, pagtalawenkayo!” Manipud iti dayta a tiempo saandan nga immay iti Aldaw a Panaginana.
22 And I gave word to the Levites, that they should be purifying themselves and coming in, as keepers of the gates, to hallow the sabbath day. This also, remember to me, O my God, and have pity upon me, according to the abundance of thy lovingkindness.
Ken binilinko dagiti Levita nga aramidenda ti seremonia ti pannakadalusda, sada mapan guardiaan dagiti ruangan, tapno mangilin ti Aldaw a Panaginana. Laglagipem met daytoy, O Diosko, ken kaassiannak gapu iti kinapudnom iti tulagmo kaniak.
23 Moreover, in these days, saw I the Jews who had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, of Moab;
Kadagidiay nga aldaw, nakitak pay dagiti Judio a nakiasawa kadagiti babbai a taga-Asdod, Ammon ken Moab.
24 and, their children, were one-half speaking the language of Ashdod, and understood not how to speak the language of the Jews, —but after the tongue of both people.
Kagudua ti bilang dagiti annakda ti agsasao iti pagsasao ti Asdod, ngem saanda a makapagsao iti pagsasao ti Juda, ti laeng pagsasao dagiti tattao a pagnanaedanda.
25 So I contended with them, and laid a curse upon them, and I smote, from among them, certain men, and pulled out their hair, —and I put them on oath by God, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take of their daughters, for your sons nor for yourselves.
Ket inungtak ida, inlunodko ida, kinabilko ti dadduma kadakuada ken pinarutko dagiti bubuokda. Pinagsapatak ida iti sangoanan ti Dios, kinunak, “Saanyo ipaasawa dagiti annakyo a babbai kadagiti annakda a lallaki, wenno ipaasawa dagiti annakda a babbai kadagiti annakyo a lallaki, wenno saanyo nga asawaen dagiti annakda a babbai.
26 Was it not, over these things, that Solomon king of Israel sinned—though, among many nations, there was no king such as he, and he was, beloved by his God, and so God gave him to be king over all Israel, —even him, did foreign women, cause to sin.
Saan kadi a dagitoy a babbai ti nakaigapuan ti panagbasol ni Solomon nga ari ti Israel? Kadagiti adu a nasion awan ti ari a kas kenkuana, ken inayat isuna ti Diosna. Ken pinagturay ti Dios isuna nga ari iti entero nga Israel. Uray no kasta, dagiti ganggannaet nga assawana ti makagapu a nagbasol isuna.
27 Unto you, then, shall we hearken, to do all this great wickedness, to act unfaithfully with our God, —by marrying foreign wives?
Dumngegkami kadi kadakayo ket aramidenmi amin daytoy a kinadakes ken agsukirkami iti Dios babaen iti panangasawami kadagiti ganggannaet a babbai?”
28 And, one of the sons of Joiada, son of Eliashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite, —therefore I chased him from me.
Maysa kadagiti annak ni Joyada a putot ni Eliasib a nangato a padi ket manugang ni Sanballat a Horonita. Pinapanawko ngarud isuna idiay Jerusalem.
29 Remember them, O my God, —on account of the Defilings of the Priesthood, and the Covenant of the Priesthood, and of the Levites.
Laglagipem ida O, Diosko, gapu iti panangtulawda iti akem a kinapadi, ken iti katulagan ti kinapadi ken dagiti Levita.
30 So I purified them from everything foreign, —and appointed charges unto the priests and unto the Levites, every one in his work;
Ket inaramidko ti seremonia ti pannakadalusda kadagiti amin a ganggannaet, ken imbagak dagiti pagrebbengan dagiti padi ken dagiti Levita, ti tunggal maysa iti trabahona.
31 also for the offering of wood, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good!
Impaayko dagiti kayo a pangpuor iti daton iti umno a tiempo ken dagiti umuna a bunga. Laglagipennak, O Diosko, para iti pagsayaatak.
