Nexemyaah 13

1 Oo maalintaas ayay kitaabkii Muuse akhriyeen iyadoo dadkii maqlayo; oo waxaa laga helay oo ku qornaa inayan shirka Ilaah weligood soo gelin mid reer Cammoon ah iyo mid reer Moo'aab ah toona;

On that day they read in the scroll of Moses in the audience of the people; and in it was found written, that an Ammonite and a Moabite should not enter into the assembly of God forever,

2 maxaa yeelay, iyagu reer binu Israa'iil kalama ayan hor iman cunto iyo biyo toona, laakiinse waxay u soo kiraysteen Balcaam inuu habaaro aawadeed, habase ahaatee Ilaaheennu habaarkii wuxuu u beddelay duco.

because they did not meet the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, to curse them: however our God turned the curse into a blessing.

3 Oo waxay noqotay markay sharcigii maqleen inay reer binu Israa'iil ka sooceen dadkii isku qasnaa oo dhan.

It came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.

4 Oo waxyaalahaas ka hor wadaadkii Eliyaashiib oo loo doortay inuu madax u ahaado qolalka guriga Ilaaheenna ayaa xidhiidh la yeeshay Toobiyaah,

Now before this, Eliashib the cohen, who was appointed over the rooms of the house of our God, being allied to Tobiah,

5 oo wuxuu isagii u hagaajiyey qowlad weyn oo waagii hore la dhigi jiray qurbaannada hadhuudhka, iyo fooxa, iyo weelasha, iyo meeltobnaadyada hadhuudhka iyo khamriga iyo saliidda, oo amar lagu siin jiray kuwa reer Laawi, iyo kuwii gabayaaga ahaa, iyo irid-dhawryada, iyo qurbaannadii kor loo qaadi jiray oo la siin jiray wadaaddada.

had prepared for him a great room, where before they laid the meal offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, which were given by commandment to the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers; and the wave offerings for the cohanim.

6 Laakiinse waagaas oo dhan anigu Yeruusaalem ma aanan joogin, waayo, sannaddii soddon iyo labaad oo boqorkii Baabuloon ee Artaxshasta ahaa ayaan u tegey boqorka, oo maalmo yar dabadood ayaan boqorka fasax weyddiistay.

But in all this, I was not at Jerusalem; for in the two and thirtieth year of Artachshasta king of Babylon I went to the king: and after certain days asked I leave of the king,

7 Markaasaan Yeruusaalem imid oo waxaan gartay sharkii uu Eliyaashiib u sameeyey Toobiyaah markuu qowlad uga diyaarshay barxadihii guriga Ilaah.

and I came to Jerusalem, and understood the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing him a room in the courts of God's house.

8 Haddaba taasu aad bay ii murugaysay, sidaas daraaddeed qowladdii dibaddaan uga wada tuuray alaabtii guriga Toobiyaah oo dhan.

It grieved me severely: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the room.

9 Markaasaan amar bixiyey oo qolalkii waa la nadiifiyey; oo halkaasaan mar kale ku soo celiyey weelashii gurigii Ilaah, iyo qurbaannadii hadhuudhka, iyo fooxii.

Then I commanded, and they cleansed the rooms: and there brought I again the vessels of God's house, with the meal offerings and the frankincense.

10 Oo haddana waxaan kaloo gartay inaan kuwii reer Laawi qaybahoodii la siin, oo sidaas daraaddeed kuwii reer Laawi iyo kuwii gabayaaga ahaa oo shuqulka samayn jirayba way carareen oo mid waluba beertiisii buu tegey.

I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them; so that the Levites and the singers, who did the work, had fled everyone to his field.

11 Markaasaan taliyayaashii la diriray oo waxaan ku idhi, War maxaa guriga Ilaah looga tegey? Kolkaasaan iyagii soo wada ururiyey oo meeshoodii ku celiyey.

Then I contended with the rulers, and said, "Why is God's house forsaken?" I gathered them together, and set them in their place.

12 Markaasaa dadka dalka Yahuudah oo dhammu waxay qolalkii khasnadaha soo geliyeen meeltobnaadyadii hadhuudhka iyo kuwii khamriga iyo kuwii saliiddaba.

Then brought all Judah the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil to the treasuries.

13 Oo qolalkii khasnadaha waxaan madax uga dhigay khasnajiyo, oo waxay ahaayeen wadaadkii Shelemyaah ahaa, iyo karraanigii Saadooq ahaa, oo reer Laawina waxaa kaga jiray Fedaayaah, oo waxaa ku xigay Xaanaan ina Sakuur, oo ahaa ina Matanyaah, waayo, waxaa lagu tiriyey inay aamin yihiin, oo shaqadooduna waxay ahayd inay walaalahood wax u qaybiyaan.

And I commanded Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites be in charge of the storerooms. And next to them was Hanan the son of Zakkur, the son of Mattaniah, for they were considered trustworthy, and their responsibility was the distribution to their brothers.

14 Ilaahayow, haddaba bal taas daraaddeed ii xusuuso, oo ha tirtirin falimahaygii wanaagsanaa oo aan u qabtay gurigaaga iyo waxyaalihii la dhawri lahaa.

Remember me, my God, concerning this, and do not wipe out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for its observances.

15 Oo waagaas waxaan dalka Yahuudah ku arkay kuwo maalinta Sabtida macsarada canabka ku tumanaya, oo xidhmooyin soo ururinaya, oo dameerro raraya, iyo weliba khamri iyo canab, iyo berde iyo rar cayn kasta ah oo Yeruusaalem la soo gelinaya maalinta sabtida; oo anna iyagii waan uga digay maalintii ay cuntada iibiyeen.

In those days I saw in Judah some men treading winepresses on the Sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all kinds of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day in which they sold food.

16 Oo halkaas waxaa kaloo degganaa dad reer Turos ah oo keeni jiray kalluun iyo alaab cayn kasta ah, oo maalinta ayay ka iibin jireen dadka dalka Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalem gudaheeda.

There lived men of Tyre also in it, who brought in fish, and all kinds of wares, and sold on the Sabbath to the people of Judah, and in Jerusalem.

17 Markaasaan la diriray kuwii gobta ahaa oo dalka Yahuudah oo waxaan ku idhi, War waa maxay waxan sharka ah oo aad samaysaan oo aad ku nijaasaysaan maalinta sabtida ah?

Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said to them, "What evil thing is this that you do, and profane the Sabbath day?

18 War sow awowayaashiin saasoo kale ma yeelin, sow Ilaah belaayadan oo dhan taas aawadeed inooguma soo dejin innaga iyo magaaladaba? Oo weliba markaad sabtida nijaasaysaan waxaad reer binu Israa'iil ku soo dejisaan cadho kale oo badan.

Did not your fathers do thus, and did not our God bring all this disaster on us, and on this city? Yet you bring more wrath on Israel by profaning the Sabbath."

19 Oo sabtida ka hor markii irdihii Yeruusaalem soo madoobaanayeen, ayaan amray in albaabbada la xidho, oo waxaan kaloo amray inaan la furin jeeray sabtidu dhammaato; oo qaar midiidinnadaydii ah ayaan irdihii waardiye uga dhigay inaan maalinta sabtida waxba rar la soo gelin.

It came to pass that, when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the Sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened until after the Sabbath. I set some of my servants over the gates, that no burden should be brought in on the Sabbath day.

20 Haddaba baayacmushtariyaashii iyo kuwii alaab cayn kasta iibin jiray mar iyo laba ayay Yeruusaalem dibaddeeda u hoydeen.

So the merchants and sellers of all kinds of wares lodged outside of Jerusalem once or twice.

21 Markaasaan iyagii u digay oo ku idhi, War maxaad derbiga hareerihiisa ugu hoyataan? Haddaad mar dambe saas yeeshaan gacan baan idin saarayaa. Oo ayaantaas ka dib mar dambe ma ay iman maalin sabti ah.

Then I testified against them, and said to them, "Why do you stay around the wall? If you do so again, I will lay hands on you." From that time on, they did not come on the Sabbath.

22 Oo waxaan kuwii reer Laawi ku amray inay isdaahiriyaan iyo inay yimaadaan oo irdaha dhawraan si ay quduus uga dhigaan maalinta sabtida. Ilaahayow, taas aawadeedna ii xusuuso, oo iigu tudh siday weynaanta naxariistaadu tahay.

I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the Sabbath day. Remember to me, my God, this also, and spare me according to the greatness of your loving kindness.

23 Oo waagaas waxaan kaloo arkay Yuhuuddii oo guursatay naago ah reer Ashdood, iyo reer Cammoon, iyo reer Moo'aab.

In those days also saw I the Jews who had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab:

24 Oo carruurtoodii badhkoodna waxay ku hadli jireen afkii reer Ashdood, oo afkii Yuhuuddana kuma ay hadli karin, laakiinse waxay ku hadli jireen sidii afkii dadyow kasta.

and their children spoke half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews' language, but according to the language of each people.

25 Oo anna iyagii waan la diriray, waanan caayay, oo qaarkoodna waan dilay, oo timahoodiina waan ka rifay, waanan ku dhaarshay Ilaah, oo ku idhi, Waa inaydnaan gabdhihiinna u guurin wiilashooda, gabdhahoodana ha u guurinina wiilashiinna, idinkuna ha guursanina.

I contended with them, and cursed them, and struck certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, "You shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, or for yourselves.

26 War Sulaymaan oo ahaa boqorkii reer binu Israa'iil sow isba waxyaalahan kuma dembaabin? In kastoo aan quruumo badan dhexdooda boqor isagoo kala ah laga heli karin, oo uu Ilaahiisuna jeclaa, oo uu Ilaah ka dhigay boqor u taliya reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, haddana xataa isagii waxaa dembaajiyey naago qalaad.

Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among many nations was there no king like him, and he was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless foreign women caused even him to sin.

27 Haddaba miyaannu idin dhegaysannaa si aannu sharkan oo dhan u samayno oo intaan naago qalaad guursanno miyaannu Ilaahayaga ku xadgudubnaa?

Shall we then listen to you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in marrying foreign women?"

28 Oo Eliyaashiib oo ahaa wadaadkii sare wiilashiisii midkood oo Yooyaadaac ahaa waxaa soddog u ahaa Sanballad oo ahaa reer Xoron; oo sidaas daraaddeed ayaan isaga eryay.

One of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the cohen hagadol, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I chased him from me.

29 Ilaahayow, iyaga xusuuso, maxaa yeelay, waxay nijaaseeyeen wadaadnimadii, iyo axdigii wadaadnimada iyo kii reer Laawi.

Remember them, my God, because they have defiled the office of cohen, and the covenant of the cohanim, and of the Levites.

30 Haddaba sidaasaan uga nadiifiyey dad kasta oo qalaad, oo waxaan bixiyey amar ku saabsan wadaaddadii iyo kuwii reer Laawiba iyo mid walba shuqulkiisii,

Thus I cleansed them from all foreigners, and appointed duties for the cohanim and for the Levites, everyone in his work;

31 iyo amar ku saabsan qurbaankii qoryaha oo wakhtiyada la amray la keeno, iyo midhaha ugu horreeya. Ilaahayow, wanaag igu xusuuso.

and for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the first fruits. Remember me, my God, for good.
