Nahimiyaa 13

1 Guyyaa sana Kitaabni Musee fuuluma sabaa duratti dubbifame; achi keessattis akka namni Amoon yookaan namni Moʼaab tokko yoom iyyuu waldaa Waaqaatti dabalamuu hin qabne barreeffamee argame;

And on that day did they reade in the booke of Moses, in the audience of the people, and it was found written therein, that the Ammonite, and the Moabite should not enter into the Congregation of God,

2 isaan akka inni saba Israaʼel abaaruuf Balaʼaamin qaxaratan malee midhaanii fi bishaaniin Israaʼeloota hin simanne. Taʼus Waaqni keenya abaarsa sana eebbatti geeddare.

Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: and our God turned the curse into a blessing.

3 Sabnis seera kana dhageenyaan nama sanyii ormaa hunda Israaʼel keessaa kophaatti baase.

Now when they had heard the Lawe, they separated from Israel all those that were mixed.

4 Kanaan dura Eliyaashiib lubichi itti gaafatamaa mankuusaalee mana Waaqaa ture. Innis Xoobbiyaa wajjin walitti dhufeenya cimaa qaba ture;

And before this had the Priest Eliashib the ouersight of the chamber of the house of our God, being kinsman to Tobiah:

5 innis kutaa manaa balʼaa isaan duraan kennaa midhaanii, ixaana miʼa mana qulqullummaa, akkasumas kennaa midhaanii, kan daadhii wayinii haaraa fi zayitii Lewwotaaf, faarfattootaa fi eegdota karraatiif ajajame harka kudhan keessaa tokkoo fi buusii lubootaaf kennamu itti kuusan tokko Xoobbiyaadhaaf kennee ture.

And he had made him a great chamber and there had they aforetime layde the offringes, the incense, and the vessels, and the tithes of corne, of wine, and of oyle (appointed for the Leuites, and the singers, and the porters) and the offringes of the Priests.

6 Ani garuu sababii bara Arxeksis mooticha Baabilon keessa waggaa soddomii lammaffaatti gara mootichaa dhaqee tureef yeroo wanni kun hundi taʼetti Yerusaalem keessa hin turre. Anis yeroo gabaabaa booddee isa irraa eeyyama fudhadhee

But in all this time was not I in Ierusalem: for in the two and thirtieth yere of Artahshashte King of Babel, came I vnto the King, and after certaine dayes I obteined of the King.

7 Yerusaalemitti nan deebiʼe. Akka Eliyaashiib oobdii mana Waaqaa keessatti Xoobbiyaadhaaf kutaa tokko kennuun waan hamaa hojjete nan beeke.

And when I was come to Ierusalem, I vnderstood the euil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in that hee had made him a chamber in the court of the house of God,

8 Anis akka malee aareen miʼa manaa kan Xoobbiyaa hunda kutaa sana keessaa gad nan dadarbadhe.

And it grieued me sore: therefore I cast forth all the vessels of the house of Tobiah out of the chamber.

9 Ani ergasii akka kutaawwan sun qulqulleeffaman nan ajaje; isaanis ni qulqulleessan; ani immoo miʼa mana Waaqaa, kennaa midhaaniitii fi ixaana wajjin deebisee itti galche.

And I commanded them to clense ye chambers: and thither brought I againe the vessels of the house of God with the meate offring and the incense.

10 Ani akka qoodni Lewwotaaf ramadame sun isaaniif hin kennaminis nan hubadhe; akkasumas akka Lewwonnii fi faarfattoonni tajaajila sanatti itti gaafatamtoota turan hundi gara lafa qotiisaa ofii isaaniitti deebiʼan nan beeke.

And I perceiued that the portions of the Leuites had not bene giuen, and that euery one was fled to his lande, euen the Leuites and singers that executed the worke.

11 Kanaafuu ani qondaaltota ifadheen, “Manni Waaqaa maaliif dagatama?” jedheen isaan gaafadhe. Ergasiis ani walitti isaan qabee iddoo isaaniitti isaan nan deebise.

Then reproued I the rulers and sayd, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I assembled them, and set them in their place.

12 Yihuudaan hundi midhaan, daadhii wayinii haaraa fi zayitii harka kudhan keessaa tokko fidanii mankuusaaleetti galchan.

Then brought all Iudah the tithes of corne and of wine, and of oyle vnto the treasures.

13 Anis Shelemiyaa lubicha, Zaadoq barreessichaa fi Lewwicha Phedaayaa jedhamu tokko itti gaafatamtoota mankuusaalee godheen muude; akkasumas sababii isaan amanamoo taʼaniif Haanaan ilma Zakuur, ilma Mataaniyaa sana gargaaraa isaanii nan godhe. Hojiin isaaniis obboloota isaaniitiif nyaata hiruu ture.

And I made treasurers ouer the treasures, Shelemiah the Priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Leuites, Pedaiah, and vnder their hande Hanan the sonne of Zaccur the sonne of Mattaniah: for they were counted faithfull, and their office was to distribute vnto their brethren.

14 Yaa Waaqa ko, waan kanaaf jedhii na yaadadhu; hojii gaarii ani mana Waaqa kootii fi tajaajila isaatiif hojjedhes na duraa hin balleessin.

Remember me, O my God, herein, and wipe not out my kindenes that I haue shewed on the house of my God, and on the offices thereof.

15 Ani bara sana Yihuudaa keessatti namoota guyyaa Sanbataatiin iddoo wayiniin itti cuunfamutti wayinii dhidhiitanii midhaan fidanii, daadhii wayinii, ija wayinii, ija harbuutii fi feʼiisa gosa biraa hunda wajjin harrootatti feʼan nan arge. Isaanis waan kana hunda guyyaa Sanbataatiin Yerusaalemitti fidan. Kanaafuu ani akka isaan guyyaa sana nyaata hin gurgurre isaan nan seere.

In those dayes saw I in Iudah them, that trode wine presses on ye Sabbath, and that brought in sheaues, and which laded asses also with wine, grapes, and figges, and all burdens, and brought them into Ierusalem vpon the Sabbath day: and I protested to them in the day that they sold vitailes.

16 Namoonni Xiiroos warri Yerusaalem keessa jiraatan qurxummii fi miʼa daldalaa kanneen gosa hundaa itti fidanii guyyaa Sanbataatiin Yerusaalem keessatti warra Yihuudaatti gurguraa turan.

There dwelt men of Tyrus also therein, which brought fish and all wares, and solde on the Sabbath vnto the children of Iudah euen in Ierusalem.

17 Ani immoo akkana jedheen namoota Yihuudaa bebeekamoo nan ifadhe; “Wanni hamaan isin guyyaa Sanbataa xureessuudhaan hojjettan kun maal?

Then reprooued I the rulers of Iudah, and sayd vnto them, What euil thing is this that yee doe, and breake the Sabbath day?

18 Abbootiin keessan iyyuu waanuma kana hojjetanii akkasiin Waaqni badiisa kana hunda nuttii fi magaalaa kanatti fide mitii? Isin amma kunoo Sanbata xureessuudhaan dheekkamsa hammas iyyuu caalu Israaʼelitti fidaa jirtu.”

Did not your fathers thus, and our God brought all this plague vpon vs, and vpon this citie? yet yee increase the wrath vpon Israel, in breaking the Sabbath.

19 Anis yeroo gaaddisni galgalaa Sanbataan dura karrawwan Yerusaalem irra buʼetti akka balbalawwan cufamanii hamma Sanbanni darbutti hin banamne nan ajaje. Akka feʼiisni tokko illee guyyaa Sanbataatiin ol hin galfamneefis namoota koo tokko tokko karrawwan irra nan dhaabe.

And when the gates of Ierusalem beganne to be darke before the Sabbath, I commaded to shut the gates, and charged, that they should not be opened til after the Sabbath, and some of my seruants set I at the gates, that there shoulde no burden be brought in on the Sabbath day.

20 Daldaltoonnii fi gurgurtoonni miʼoota gosa hundaa yeroo tokko yookaan yeroo lama Yerusaalemiin ala bulaniiru.

So the chapmen and marchants of al marchandise remained once or twise all night without Ierusalem.

21 Ani garuu, “Isin maaliif dallaa jala bultu? Yoo isin itti deebitanii akkas gootan ani humnaan isinitti nan dhufa” jedheen isaan nan seere. Gaafasii jalqabanii isaan lammata guyyaa Sanbataatiin hin dhufne.

And I protested among them, and said vnto them, Why tary ye all night about the wall? If ye do it once againe, I will lay hands vpon you. from that time came they no more on the Sabbath.

22 Ani akka Lewwonni of qulqulleessanii qulqullummaa guyyaa Sanbataa eeguuf dhaqanii karrawwan eegan nan ajaje. Yaa Waaqa koo waan kanaaf jedhii na yaadadhu; akkuma jaalala kee guddaa sanaattis naa araarami.

And I sayde vnto the Leuites, that they should clense themselues, and that they shoulde come and keepe the gates, to sanctifie the Sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and pardon me according to thy great mercy.

23 Kana caalaa iyyuu ani bara sana keessa namoota Yihuudaa kanneen dubartoonni Ashdood, kan Amooniitii fi kan Moʼaab fuudhan nan arge.

In those dayes also I saw Iewes that married wiues of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab.

24 Ilmaan isaanii keessaa walakkaan afaan Ashdood yookaan afaan saboota biraa dubbatan malee afaan Yihuudaa dubbachuu hin dandeenye.

And their children spake halfe in ye speach of Ashdod, and could not speake in the Iewes language, and according to the language of the one people, and of the other people.

25 Ani isaan ifadheen isaan nan abaare. Ani namoota tokko tokko rukutee rifeensa isaanii irraa nan bubuqqise. Ani akkana jedheen maqaa Waaqaatiin isaan nan kakachiise: “Isin intallan keessan ilmaan isaaniitti heerumsiisuu yookaan intallan isaanii ilmaan keessan fuusisuu yookaan ofii keessaniis fuudhuu hin qabdan.

Then I reprooued them, and cursed them, and smote certaine of them, and pulled off their heare, and tooke an othe of them by God, Yee shall not giue your daughters vnto their sonnes, neither shall ye take of their daughters vnto your sonnes, nor for your selues.

26 Solomoon mootichi Israaʼel fuudha akkasiitiin cubbuu hojjete mitii? Saboota baayʼee keessa mootiin akka isaa tokko iyyuu hin turre. Waaqni isa jaallatee Israaʼel hunda irratti mootii isa godhe; taʼus dubartoonni ormaa cubbuu isa hojjechiisan.

Did not Salomon the king of Israel sinne by these thinges? yet among many nations was there no King like him: for he was beloued of his God, and God had made him King ouer Israel: yet strange women caused him to sinne.

27 Nu amma akka isinis dubartoota ormaa fuudhuudhaan waan akka malee hamaa kana hunda hojjettanii Waaqa keenyaaf amanamuu diddan dhagaʼuu qabnaa?”

Shall wee then obey vnto you, to doe all this great euil, and to transgresse against our God, euen to marry strange wiues?

28 Ilmaan Yooyaadaa ilma Eliyaashiib lubicha ol aanaa sanaa keessaa tokko dhirsa intala Sanbalaax namicha Hooroon ture. Anis of biraa isa nan ariʼe.

And one of the sonnes of Ioiada the sonne of Eliashib the hie Priest was the sonne in law of Sanballat the Horonite: but I chased him from me.

29 Yaa Waaqa koo ati isaan yaadadhu; isaan lubummaa, kakuu lubummaatii fi Lewwotaa xureessaniiruutii.

Remember them, O my God, that defile the Priesthoode, and the couenant of the Priesthoode, and of the Leuites.

30 Kanaafuu ani waan alaa dhufe hunda irraa lubootaa fi Lewwota qulqulleessee akka tokkoon tokkoon namaa hojii ofii isaa hojjetuuf hojiitti isaan nan ramade.

Then cleansed I them from all strangers, and appoynted the wardes of the Priestes and of the Leuites, euery one in his office,

31 Akkasumas kennaa qoraaniitii fi kennaa mataa midhaanii kan yeroo murtaaʼetti dhiʼeeffamuuf haala nan mijeesse. Yaa Waaqa koo ati arjummaadhaan na yaadadhu.

And for the offring of the wood at times appoynted, and for the first fruites. Remember me, O my God, in goodnes.
