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, 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;

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 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.

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

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

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 priest, who was set over a chamber of the house of God, was allied unto 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.

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.

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, 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;

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

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;

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

and it grieved me exceedingly, —and I cast forth all the household utensils of Tobiah, outside of the chamber.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Then, all Judah, brought in the tithe of corn, and new wine, and oil, unto 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 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.

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, 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.

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, 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.

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.

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;

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?

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?

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

But the traders and sellers of all kinds of wares lodged outside 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Moreover, in these days, saw I the Jews who had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, 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, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Unto you, then, shall we hearken, to do all this great wickedness, to act unfaithfully with our God, —by marrying foreign wives?

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.

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.

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

Remember them, O my God, —on account of the Defilings of the Priesthood, and the Covenant of the Priesthood, 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,

So I purified them from everything foreign, —and appointed charges unto the priests and unto the Levites, every one in his work;

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

also for the offering of wood, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good!
