Nehemiya 13
1 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,
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,
2 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.)
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.
3 Sa’ad da mutane suka ji wannan doka, sai suka ware daga Isra’ila duk waɗanda suke na baƙon zuriya.
And it comes to pass, at their hearing the Law, that they separate all the mixed people from Israel.
4 Kafin wannan, an sa Eliyashib firist yă lura da ɗakuna ajiyar gidan Allahnmu. Yana da dangantaka na kurkusa da Tobiya,
And before this Eliashib the priest, appointed over chambers of the house of our God, [is] a relation of Tobiah,
5 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.
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.
6 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
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,
7 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.
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,
8 Na ɓace rai ƙwarai na kuma zubar da dukan kayan gidan Tobiya daga ɗakin.
and it is very displeasing to me, and I cast all the vessels of the house of Tobiah outside, out of the chamber,
9 Na umarta a tsarkake ɗakunan, sa’an nan na mayar da kayan gidan Allah a cikin ɗakunan, tare da hadayun hatsi da kuma turare.
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.
10 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.
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.
11 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.
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;
12 Dukan Yahuda suka kawo zakan hatsi, sabon ruwan inabi da mai cikin ɗakunan ajiya.
and all Judah has brought in the tithe of the grain, and of the new wine, and of the oil, to the treasuries.
13 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.
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.
14 Ka tuna da ni saboda wannan, ya Allahna, kuma kada ka shafe abin da na yi da aminci domin gidan Allahna da kuma hidimarsa.
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.
15 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.
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.
16 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.
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.
17 Sai na tsawata wa manyan Yahuda na ce musu, “Wanda irin mugun abu ke nan kuke yi, kuna ƙazantar da ranar Asabbaci?
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?
18 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.”
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.”
19 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.
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.
20 Sau ɗaya ko biyu,’yan kasuwa da masu sayar da kowane irin kaya suka kwana waje da Urushalima.
And they lodge—the merchants and sellers of all ware—at the outside of Jerusalem, once or twice,
21 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.
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.
22 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.
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.
23 Ban da haka, a waɗannan kwanakin na ga mutanen Yahuda waɗanda suka auri mata daga Ashdod, Ammon da Mowab.
Also, in those days, I have seen the Jews [who] have settled women of Ashdod, of Ammon, of Moab.
24 Rabin’ya’yansu suna yaren Ashdod ko kuwa wani yare na waɗansu mutane, ba su kuwa san yadda za su yi Yahudanci ba.
And of their sons, half are speaking Ashdoditish—and are not knowing to speak Jewish—and according to the language of people and people.
25 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.
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.
26 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.
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.
27 Yanzu za mu ji cewa ku ma kuna yin duk wannan mugunta kuna zama marasa aminci ga Allahnmu ta wurin auren baren mata?”
And do we listen to you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God, to settle strange women?”
28 Ɗaya daga cikin’ya’yan Yohiyada maza, ɗan Eliyashib babban firist, surukin Sanballat mutumin Horon ne. Na kuwa kore shi daga wurina.
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.
29 Ka tuna da su, ya Allahna, domin sun ƙazantar da aikin firist da kuma alkawarin aikin firist da na Lawiyawa.
Be mindful of them, O my God, for the redeemed of the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.
30 Saboda haka na tsarkake firistoci da Lawiyawa daga kowane baƙon abu, na kuma ba su aikinsu, kowa ga aikinsa.
And I have cleansed them from every stranger, and appoint charges to priests and to Levites, each in his work,
31 Na kuma yi tanadi don sadakokin itace a ƙayyadaddun lokuta, da kuma don nunan fari. Ka tuna da ni da alheri, ya Allahna.
and for the wood-offering at appointed times, and for first-fruits. Be mindful of me, O my God, for good.
