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;
Vinaki’ iareo amy andro zay ty boke’ i Mosè am-pijanjiña’ ondatio, le tendrek’ ao te tsy mahazo mimoak’ am-pivorin’ Añahare ao t’i nte-Amone naho t’i nte-Moabe;
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.
amy t’ie tsy nifanalaka amo ana’ Israeleo hinday mofo naho rano, te mone kinarama’ iareo t’i Balame hamatse iareo; fe nafoten’ Añaharen-tika ho fitahiañe i fatsey.
3 So it came to pass, when they had heard the law, —that they separated all the mixed multitude from Israel.
Aa ie nahajanjiñe Hake iereo le nambaha’ iareo am’ Israele ze hene tamingañe tsy ki’e.
4 Now, before this, Eliashib the priest, who was set over a chamber of the house of God, was allied unto Tobiah;
Ie taolo’ Izay, i Eliasibe mpisoroñe tinendre hifehe o efets’ efen’ anjomban’ Añaharen-tikañeo, ie longo i Tobià
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.
le hinajari’e ho aze ty efetse jabajaba fampipohañe o enga-mahakamao naho i embokey naho o fanakeo naho o fahafolon’ ampembao, ty divay vaho ty menake natolotse, ie liliy amo nte-Levio naho amo mpisaboo naho amo mpañambeñeo; vaho o engan-kelahelam-pisoroñeo.
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;
Toe tsy e Ierosalaime ao iraho henane zay iaby; fa nimb’ amy mpanjakay añe amy taom-paha-telopolo-ro’ ambi’ i Artaksastà mpanjaka’ i Baveley; ie modo ty andro tsiampeampe le nihalaly t’ie hienga i mpanjakay;
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;
aa ie nivotrake e Ierosalaime ao naho naharendreke ty haratiañe nanoe’ i Eliasibe ho a i Tobià, ie nañajary efetse amo efets’ efen’ Anjomban’ Añahareo,
8 and it grieved me exceedingly, —and I cast forth all the household utensils of Tobiah, outside of the chamber.
le niforoforo, fonga nahifiko alafe’ i efetsey o kilankan’ akiba’ i Tobiao.
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.
Liniliko amy zao, le niliove’ iereo o efetseo; le nampoliko ao ze haraotse amy anjomban’ Añaharey, miharo amo enga-mahakamao naho i embokey.
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.
Tendrek’ ahy ka te tsy natolotse amo nte-Levio ty anjara’ iareo; aa le songa niavotse mb’ an-tete’e añe o nte-Levio naho o mpisabo nimpitoloñeo.
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.
Natretreko amy zao o mpifeheo ami’ty hoe: Aa vaho akore te naforintsiñe ty anjomban’ Añahare? Aa le natontoko iereo naho sindre najadoko an-toe’e eo
12 Then, all Judah, brought in the tithe of corn, and new wine, and oil, unto the treasuries;
vaho ninday ty fahafolon’ ampemba naho ty divay naho ty menake mb’ am-pañajam-bara ao t’Iehoda iaby.
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.
Le nanoeko mpifehe o fañajam-barao t’i Selemià mpisoroñe naho i Tsadoke mpanokitse, vaho amo nte-Iehodao: i Pedaià naho i Kanàne ana’ i Zakore ana’ i Matanià ho mpiama’e; amy t’ie natao ho migahiñe, vaho lili’ iareo ty fanjarañe amo rahalahi’eo.
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.
Tiahio iraho ry Andrianañahareko ty amy zay, le ko fòra’o o sata soa nanoeko amy anjomban’ Añaharekoy naho o fitoloñañe azeo.
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.
Nitreako amy andro rezay, e Iehodà ao ty mpandialia fampipiritan-divay ami’ty Sabotse naho ty nimoak’ ao nilogologo ampemba naho nampijiny aze ami’ty borìke; naho ty divay, ty valoboke naho ty sakoañe naho ze atao kilankañe vaho nazilike am’ Ierosalaime ao ami’ty andro Sabata; le nendahako amy andro nandetàha’ iareo i mahakamaiy.
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;
Nimoneñe ao ka o nte-Tsore mpinday fiañe naho ze hene kilanka’eo, nandetak’ amo ana’ Iehodao naho e Ierosalaime ao ami’ty Sabotse.
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?
Aa le nendahako o mpiaolo’ Iehodao ami’ty hoe: Ino ze o haloloañe anoe’ areo zao? kanao mañota-faly ami’ty andro Sabata.
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!
Tsy Izay hao ty nanoen-droae’ areo nampifetsahan’ Añaharen-tika amantika naho ami’ty rova toy o hankàñe iaby zao? Te mone tompea’ areo am’ Israele ty haviñerañe t’ie mandilatse amo Sabotseo.
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.
Aa ie fa nihamaieñe o lalambei’ Ierosalaimeo aolo’ ty Sabata, le liniliko te harindriñe o lalambeio naho liniliko t’ie tsy ho sokafeñe ampara’ te modo ty Sabotse vaho najadoko hifelek’ o lalambeio ty ila’ o mpitorokoo tsy mone hazilik’ ao ami’ty andro Sabata o kilankañeo.
20 But the traders and sellers of all kinds of wares lodged outside Jerusalem once or twice.
Teo te nitobe alafe’ Ierosalaime ao indraike ndra indroe o mpandetake naho mpanao takinak’ amy ze karaza kilankañe iabio;
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.
le hinatahatako ami’ty hoe: Ino ty itobea’ areo marine’ o kijolio? Ie mb’e ahere’ areo le ho zevoñeko am-pitàñe. Mifototse amy zay tsy nionjo-mb’eo ami’ty Sabotse iereo.
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.
Ie amy zao liniliko o nte-Levio ty hañefe-batañe naho homb’ amo lalambeio hañambeñe ty hamasiña’ ty andro Sabata. Tiahio ty amako ka zao ry Andrianañahareko vaho arovo ami’ty hara’elahim-pitretreza’o.
23 Moreover, in these days, saw I the Jews who had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, of Moab;
Nitreako amy andro rezay ka te nanambaly rakemba nte-Asdode naho nte-Amone vaho nte-Moabe o nte-Iehodào;
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.
le o ana’eo, ty ila’e nirehake an-tsaontsi’ i Asdode fa tsy nahafirehake an-tsaontsi’ Iehoda, songa ami’ty fireha’ ondati’eo avao;
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.
aa le natreatréko, nafako, linafako ty ila’e naho nonorako o maroi’eo vaho nampifantàko aman’ Añahare: Ko atolo’ areo amo ana-dahi’ iareoo o anak’ ampela’ areoo, ndra mañenga o anak’ ampela’ iareo ho amo ana-dahi’ areoo ndra ho am-bata’ areo.
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.
Tsy nanan-kakeo amy rezay hao t’i Selomò mpanjaka? Ie amo fifeheañe màroy, leo raike tsy nanam-panjaka nañirinkiriñe aze naho nikokoan’ Añahare vaho nanoen’ Añahare mpanjaka’ Israele iaby; fe nampanan-tahiñe aze o rakemba ambahinio.
27 Unto you, then, shall we hearken, to do all this great wickedness, to act unfaithfully with our God, —by marrying foreign wives?
Aa vaho hitrao-drehak’ ama’ areo hao zahay hanoa’ areo o haloloañe zao, ty hikitrofan-draha raty aman’ Añaharen-tika am-pañengañe valy ambahiny?
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.
Le nataoko soike ty ana’ Ioiadà, ana’ i Eliasibe mpisorom-bey, amy t’ie vinanto’ i Sanbalate nte-Koroneo.
29 Remember them, O my God, —on account of the Defilings of the Priesthood, and the Covenant of the Priesthood, and of the Levites.
Tiahio iereo ry Andrianañahareko, amy t’ie nahativa ty fisoroñañe naho ty fañina amo mpisoroñeo vaho amo nte-Levio.
30 So I purified them from everything foreign, —and appointed charges unto the priests and unto the Levites, every one in his work;
Izay ty nikotriñeko iareo amy ze hene raha ambahiny naho tinendreko ty fitoroña’ o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio, songa amo tolon-draha’eo;
31 also for the offering of wood, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good!
naho ty fanoloran-katae naho o andro tinendreo vaho o loha-voao. Tiahio iraho ho ami’ty hasoa ry Andrianañahareko.
