Nehemia 13
1 Da no ara, bere a wogu so rekenkan Mose Nhoma no, ɔmanfo no huu asɛm bi a ɛka se, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔma Amonni anaa Moabni kwan ma ɔkɔ Onyankopɔn aguabɔ ase.
ʻI he ʻaho ko ia naʻa nau lau ʻi he fono ʻa Mōsese ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai; pea naʻe ʻilo ʻi ai, ʻe ʻikai hoko ki he fakataha ʻoe ʻOtua ʻae kakai ʻAmoni, mo e kakai Moape ʻo taʻengata;
2 Ase ne sɛ, bere a Israelfo fii Misraim no, wɔne wɔn anni no yiye. Mmom, wɔbɔɔ Balaam paa sɛ ɔnnome wɔn, nanso yɛn Nyankopɔn dan nnome no ma ɛyɛɛ nhyira.
Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai tenau fakafetaulaki ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻaki ʻae mā mo e vai, ka naʻa nau tuku totongi kia Pelami ke tuʻu kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi ke ne tukiʻi ʻakinautolu: ka naʻe liliu ʻe hotau ʻOtua ʻae tuki ko e tāpuaki.
3 Wɔkenkan saa mmara no wiee no, wɔpam ananafo no nyinaa fii aguabɔ no ase.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻenau fanongo ki he fono, naʻa nau fakamavae mei ʻIsileli ʻae ngaahi kakai kehekehe kotoa pē.
4 Ansa na saa asɛm yi rebesi no, na ɔsɔfo Eliasib a woyii no sɛ ɔnyɛ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no adekoradan sohwɛfo no a na ɔsan yɛ Tobia busuani no,
Pea ki muʻa ʻi he meʻa ni, ko Iliasipi ko e taulaʻeiki, ʻaia naʻe pule ki he fale ʻe taha ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, naʻe kaumeʻa ia kia Topaia:
5 adan adekoradan kɛse no bi mu de ahyɛ Tobia nsa. Na anka saa dan no mu na wɔkora atoko afɔrebɔde, aduhuam, Asɔredan no nkuku ne nkaka ne atoko ntotoso du du, nsa foforo, ngo ne kyɛfa sononko a wɔahyɛ sɛ wɔmfa mma asɔfo. Na Mose ahyɛ sɛ saa afɔrebɔde no yɛ Lewifo, nnwontofo ne aponanohwɛfo no de.
Pea naʻa ne teuteu moʻona ʻae fale lahi, ʻaia naʻa nau tuku ki ai ʻi muʻa ʻae ngaahi feilaulau meʻakai, mo e meʻa namu kakala, mo e ngaahi ipu, mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoe tukuhau, mo e uaine foʻou, mo e lolo, ʻaia naʻe fekau ke foaki ki he kau Livai, mo e kau hiva, mo e kau leʻo matapā; mo e ngaahi feilaulau ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki.
6 Saa bere no, na minni Yerusalem. Na masan kɔ Babiloniahene Artasasta nkyɛn wɔ nʼahenni afe a ɛto so aduasa abien so. Akyiri no na ɔmaa me kwan sɛ mensan mmra.
Ka ʻi he ngaahi kuonga ni kotoa pē naʻe ʻikai te u ʻi Selūsalema: he naʻaku haʻu ki he tuʻi, ʻi hono taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma ua ʻo ʻAtakisekisi ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea hili ʻae ʻaho niʻihi naʻaku maʻu ʻae fekau mei he tuʻi:
7 Mibeduu Yerusalem, na metee bɔne a Eliasib ayɛ, sɛ ɔde Onyankopɔn Asɔredan adiwo dan bi ama Tobia no,
Pea ne u haʻu ki Selūsalema, pea u hoko ʻo ʻilo ʻae kovi naʻe fai ʻe Iliasipi maʻa Topaia, ʻi heʻene teuteu moʻona ʻae fale ʻi he ngaahi potu fale ʻoe fale ʻo hotau ʻOtua.
8 ɛtɔɔ me so, na miyii Tobia nneɛma a ɛwɔ dan no mu no nyinaa gui.
Pea naʻaku mamahi lahi ai: ko ia naʻaku lī kituʻa ʻae ngaahi ngaʻotoʻota kotoa pē ʻo Topaia mei he fale.
9 Afei mehyɛe sɛ, wonnwira adan no nyinaa ho, na mede Awurade Asɔredan no nkuku ne nkaka no, atoko afɔrebɔde ne aduhuam no san beguu mu.
Pea naʻaku fekau, pea naʻa nau fakamaʻa ʻae ngaahi fale: pea naʻaku toe fetuku ki ai ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua, mo e ngaahi feilaulau meʻakai mo e meʻa namu kakala.
10 Mesan huu sɛ wɔmfaa nea ɛsɛ sɛ Lewifo no nya no mmaa wɔn ɛ, enti na wɔne nnwontofo no a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhwɛ ɔsom no so no asan akɔyɛ adwuma wɔ wɔn mfuw mu.
Pea ne u vakai naʻe ʻikai faʻa ʻatu ki he kau Livai honau ngaahi ʻinasi he ko e kau Livai mo e kau hiva, ʻaia naʻe fai ʻae ngāue, kuo hola taki taha ki heʻene ngoue.
11 Ɛhɔ ara na mekɔɔ ntuanofo no nkyɛn, kobisaa wɔn se, “Adɛn nti na moayi mo ani afi Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no so?” Na mefrɛɛ Lewifo no nyinaa ma wɔsan bae, de wɔn tuatuaa nnwuma a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ ano.
Pea naʻaku valoki ʻae kau pule, ʻo pehē, Ko e hā kuo liʻaki ai ʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua? Pea ne u tānaki ʻo fakataha ʻakinautolu, ʻo fokotuʻu ʻakinautolu ʻi honau potu.
12 Na bio, Yudafo nyinaa fii ase de wɔn atoko ntotoso du du, nsa foforo ne ngo baa Asɔredan no adekoradan no mu.
Pea naʻe ʻomi ai ʻe Siuta kotoa pē ʻae tāuvao ʻoe uite mo e uaine foʻou mo e lolo ki he ngaahi feleoko.
13 Na mede adekoradan no hyɛɛ ɔsɔfo Selemia, mmara no kyerɛkyerɛfo Sadok ne Lewifo no mu baako a wɔfrɛ no Pedaia nsa sɛ wɔnhwɛ so. Na miyii Sakur babarima Hanan a ɔyɛ Matania nena sɛ wɔn boafo. Na saa mmarima yi wɔ din pa, na wɔn adwuma ne sɛ wɔde nokware bɛkyɛ nneɛma ama wɔn mfɛfo Lewifo no.
Pea ne u fakanofo ʻae kau leʻo koloa ki he ngaahi fale koloa, ko Selemaia ko e taulaʻeiki, mo Satoki ko e tangata tohi, pea ʻi he kau Livai, ko Pitaia: pea naʻe hoko mo kinautolu, ʻa Hanani, ko e foha ʻo Sakuli, ko e foha ʻo Matania: he naʻe ongolelei ʻakinautolu ko e angatonu, pea ko ʻenau ngāue ia ke tufaki ki honau ngaahi kāinga.
14 Kae saa ade pa yi yɛ, me Nyankopɔn, na mma wo werɛ mfi nea mifi nokwaredi mu ayɛ nyinaa de ama me Nyankopɔn Asɔredan no.
ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ke ke manatuʻi au koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni, pea ʻoua naʻa ke holoholo ke mole ʻeku ngaahi ngāue lelei ʻaia kuo u fai maʻae fale ʻo hoku ʻOtua, pea maʻae ngaahi lakanga ngāue ʻi ai.
15 Da koro Homeda bi, mihuu Yuda mmarima bi sɛ wɔretiatia wɔn nsakyiamoa so. Na wɔrehyehyɛ atoko afiafi wɔ wɔn mfurum so de aba. Na saa da no, na wɔde wɔn nsa, bobe aba, borɔdɔma ne nnɔbae bebree reba Yerusalem abɛtɔn. Na mekaa wɔn anim sɛ, wɔretɔn wɔn nnɔbae homeda.
Pea naʻaku mamata ki he niʻihi ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe malakaki ʻae ngaahi tataʻoʻanga uaine ʻi he ʻaho tapu, pea fetuku ʻae ngaahi ū uite, pea fakaheka ki he fanga ʻasi, pea mo e uaine foki, mo e ngaahi kālepi, mo e ngaahi fiki, mo e ngaahi kavenga kehekehe, ʻaia naʻa nau fetuku ki Selūsalema ʻi he ʻaho tapu: pea naʻaku valoki ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho naʻa nau fakatau meʻa kai,
16 Na mmarima bi nso fi Tiro a wɔde nsumnam ne aguade ahorow bebree aba. Na wɔretɔn no Homeda ama Yudafo wɔ Yerusalem fie ankasa!
Pea naʻe nofo ai ʻae kau tangata Taia, ʻaia naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ika, mo e ngaahi meʻa kehekehe, pea fakatau ʻi he ʻaho tapu ki he fānau ʻa Siuta, pea ʻi Selūsalema.
17 Ɛno nti, mekɔɔ Yuda ntuanofo no so kobisaa wɔn se, “Adɛn nti na mode saa bɔne yi gu homeda ho fi?
Pea ne u valoki ʻae ngaahi houʻeiki ʻo Siuta, pea u pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻae meʻa kovi ni ʻoku mou fai, pea mou fakahala ʻae ʻaho tapu?
18 Munnim sɛ mo agyanom yɛɛ saa bi no nti na yɛn Nyankopɔn de saa ɔhaw a ɛwɔ yɛn so mprempren yi brɛɛ yɛn ne yɛn kurow yi? Gu a moregu Homeda no ho fi ntraso mprempren no bɛma abufuwhyew aba Israelfo so.”
ʻIkai naʻe fai pehē ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, pea ʻikai naʻe ʻomi ʻe hotau ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi kovi ni kiate kitautolu, pea ki he kolo ni? Ka ʻoku mou ʻomi ʻae houhau lahi hake ki ʻIsileli ʻi hoʻomou fakahalaʻi ʻae ʻaho tapu.”
19 Na afei, mehyɛɛ sɛ, efi saa bere no rekɔ, Fida biara anwummere, wɔntoto kurow no apon mu a wommmue ara kosi sɛ Homeda no betwa mu. Bio, memaa mʼankasa mʼasomfo kɔwɛn apon no, sɛnea wɔrentumi mfa aguade mma homeda no.
Pea ʻi he fakaʻaʻau ke poʻuli ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻo Selūsalema ʻi he teʻeki hoko ʻae ʻaho tapu, naʻaku fekau ke tāpuni ʻae ngaahi matapā, pea u fekau ke ʻoua naʻa toʻo kaeʻoua ke hili ʻae ʻaho tapu; pea ne u fakanofo ʻae niʻihi ʻo ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi he ngaahi matapā, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻomi ki ai ha kavenga ʻe taha ʻi he ʻaho tapu.
20 Aguadifo ne nsaanodwumayɛfo a wɔde aguade ahorow ba no soɛɛ wɔ Yerusalem mfikyiri pɛnkoro anaa mprenu.
Ko ia naʻe mohe ai ʻituʻa Selūsalema ʻae kau maʻu koloa mo e kau fakatau ʻoe ngaahi meʻa kehekehe kotoa pē, ʻo tuʻo taha pe tuʻo ua.
21 Nanso mekasa kyerɛɛ wɔn anibere so se, “Dɛn na motete ɔfasu yi akyi reyɛ? Sɛ moyɛ saa bio a, mɛkyere mo!” Efi hɔ no, wɔamma Yerusalem wɔ Homeda bio.
Pea ne u valoki ʻakinautolu, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou mohe ai ʻo ofi ki he ʻā maka? Kapau te mou toe fai ia, te u puke ʻakimoutolu.” Pea talu mei he kuonga ko ia naʻe ʻikai te nau toe haʻu ʻi he ʻaho tapu.
22 Na mehyɛɛ Lewifo no sɛ, wonnwira wɔn ho, na wɔnnwɛn apon no sɛnea Homeda no kronkronyɛ no bɛka hɔ. Kae saa ade pa yi yɛ nso, me Nyankopɔn, na wʼadɔe kɛse a ɛnsa da no nti, hu me mmɔbɔ.
Pea ne u fekau ki he kau Livai, ke nau fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu, pea ke nau haʻu ʻo vakai ki he ngaahi matapā, ke fakatapui ʻae ʻaho tapu. ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ke ke manatuʻi au koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni foki, pea fakamoʻui au ʻo fakatatau ki hono lahi ʻo hoʻo angaʻofa.
23 Saa bere koro no ara mu, mihuu sɛ Yuda mmarima no bi awareware mmaa a wofi Asdod, Amon ne Moab.
Pea naʻaku mamata foki ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia ki he kau Siu naʻa nau mali mo e kau fefine ʻo ʻAsitoti, mo ʻAmoni, mo Moape;
24 Na nea na enye koraa ne sɛ, na wɔn mma no mu fa ka Asdod ne nnipa foforo bi kasa a na wontumi nka Yudafo kasa no koraa.
Pea naʻe lea fakavaeua ʻe heʻenau fānau ʻi he lea ʻo ʻAsitoti, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa lea ʻi he lea ʻae kakai Siu pē, kae ʻi he lea ʻae kakai fakatouʻosi.
25 Enti mekɔɔ wɔn so kɔdomee wɔn. Mehwee wɔn mu bi, tutuu wɔn tinwi. Mema wɔkaa ntam wɔ Awurade anim sɛ, wɔremma wɔn mma ne abosonsomfo a wɔwɔ asase no so nni aware.
Pea ne u valoki ʻakinautolu, pea manuki ʻakinautolu, pea taaʻi honau niʻihi, pea fusi honau fulufuluʻi [ʻulu], pea fakafuakavaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa mou foaki homou ngaahi ʻofefine ki honau ngaahi foha, pe toʻo honau ngaahi ʻofefine ki homou ngaahi foha, pe moʻomoutolu.
26 Mibisae se, “Ɛnyɛ eyi bi pɛpɛɛpɛ na ɛde Israelhene Salomo kɔɔ bɔne mu no?” Na wode ɔman biara so hene toto ne ho a, ɛnyɛ yiye. Onyankopɔn dɔɔ no, na osii no hene wɔ Israel nyinaa so. Nanso ɔno mpo ananafo aware de no kɔɔ bɔne mu.
ʻIkai naʻe fai angahala ʻe Solomone ko e tuʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni? Ka naʻe ʻikai ha tuʻi hangē ko ia ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga lahi, ʻaia naʻe ʻofeina ʻe hono ʻOtua, pea fakanofo ia ʻe he ʻOtua ke tuʻi ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ka ko e moʻoni naʻe fakaangahalaʻi ia ʻe he kau fefine muli.
27 Dɛn na ɛhaw mo ma modwene sɛ mobɛware ananafo mmea, na monam so ayɛ bɔne a ɛte saa, na munni Onyankopɔn nokware?
Pea te mou tokanga koā kiate kimoutolu ke mou fai ʻae ngaahi kovi lahi ni, ke talangataʻa ki hotau ʻOtua ʻi he mali mo e kau fefine muli?”
28 Esiane sɛ ɔsɔfopanyin Eliasib babarima Yoiada aware Horonni Sanbalat babea nti, mepam no fii mʼanim.
Pea ko e foha ʻe taha ʻo Soiata, ko e foha ʻo Iliasipi ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, ko e foha ia ʻi he fono kia Sanipalate ko e tangata Holoni: ko ia naʻaku tuli ia ke ʻalu ʻiate au.
29 Kae wɔn, me Nyankopɔn, efisɛ wɔagu asɔfodwuma, asɔfo ne Lewifo bɔhyɛ ne ntam no ho fi.
