Nihemaia 13

1 Esela amola gobele salasu dunu da Mousese ea Sema amo Isala: ili dunu ilima idilaloba, ilia da sema afae ba: i dagoi. Amo da A: mone fi dunu amola Moua: be fi dunu da wali amola hobea eso huluanedafa amo Gode Ea fi dunu ilima da hamedafa madelagimu.

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

2 Bai A: mone amola Moua: be fi dunu ilia da Isala: ili dunu da Idibidi soge amoga fisili masa: ne, logoga ahoanoba, ilima ha: i manu amola hano hame i. Be amo hou baligili, ilia da Ba: ila: me amo e da Isala: ili dunuma gagabusu aligima: ne hamomusa: , ema muni i. Be ninia Gode da amo gagabusu aligi sinidigili, bu Isala: ili fi dunu dogolegele hahawane fidima: ne, Ba: ila: me ea lafidili sia: i.

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 Isala: ili dunu da amo sema idibi nabaloba, ilia ga fi dunu ilia fi amoga mae gilisima: ne ilegele sia: i.

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

4 Gobele salasu dunu Ilaiasibi da Debolo modale ligisisu diasu ouligisu. E da eso bagohame Doubaia amo hahawane ba: i.

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

5 Debolo modale ligisisu amo ganodini, sesei afae bagade ba: i. Amo sesei da iasu liligi amo gagoma, gabusiga: manoma, Debolo hawa: hamosu liligi, amola liligi amo gobele salasu dunuma i amola ‘daide’ (gagoma, waini hano amola olife susuligi) amo da Lifai dunu amola Debolo gesami hea: su dunu amola Debolo sosodo aligisu dunu ilima iasu, amo liligi ligisima: ne amo sesei da ilegei dagoi. Be Ilaiasibi da amo sesei Doubaia amo ganodini esaloma: ne iasu.

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

6 Amo hou hamonanoba, na da Yelusaleme moilai amo ganodini hame esalebe ba: i. Bai Adasegesisi ea Ba: bilone ouligisu ode 32 amoga, na da ema sia: sia: ne iasu ima: ne, ema buhagi. Na da ouesalu, amalalu e da na Yuda sogega bu masa: ne logo doasi.

But in all this, I was not at Jerusalem; for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I went to the king; and after some days I asked leave of the king,

7 Na da Yelusaleme moilaiga buhagili, Ilaiasibi da Doubaia ema Debolo sesei ia dagoi ba: beba: le, bagadewane fofogadigi.

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 Na da ougi bagade ba: i. Na da Doubaia ea liligi gadili galagai.

It grieved me severely. Therefore I threw all Tobiah’s household stuff out of the room.

9 Na da hawa: hamosu dunuma ilia da amo Debolo sesei Gode Ea sema defele noga: le dodofema: ne sia: i. Bai ledo bagade galebeba: le, Debolo hawa: hamosu liligi, gagoma iasu amola gabusiga: manoma bu legemu da hamedei. Be ilia da amo liligi dodofei dagoiba: le, bu legei.

Then I commanded, and they cleansed the rooms. I brought into them the vessels of God’s house, with the meal offerings and the frankincense again.

10 Amola na da nabi amo Debolo gesami hea: su dunu amola Lifai dunu mogili da Yelusaleme moilai fisili, ilia ifabi amoga buhagi dagoi. Bai dunu da ilia ha: i manu amola labe defele ilima hame iasu.

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 each fled to his field.

11 Ouligisu dunu da Debolo diasu noga: le hame ouligibiba: le, na da ilima gagabole sia: i. Amola na da Lifai dunu amola Debolo gesami hea: su dunu amo huluane Debolo diasuga bu oule misini, ilima bu hawa: hamoma: ne sia: i.

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 Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu da bu ilia gagoma, waini amola olife susuligi amo ‘daide’ huluane ilia da Debolo modale ligisisu sesei amoga bu gaguli misi.

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

13 Amola na da hagudu dedei dunu amo modale ligisisu diasuga ouligimusa: ilegei dagoi, amo, gobele salasu dunu Sielemaia, sema dawa: su dunu Sa: idoge amola Lifai dunu Bida: ia. Amola ilia fidisu dunu Ha: ina: ne (Sa: ge ea mano amola Ma: danaia ea aowa) amo na da ilegei. Amo dunu ilia hou da moloiba: le, ilia da liligi mae wamolale, ilia na: iyado hawa: hamosu dunuma imunu, na da dawa: i galu.

I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were counted faithful, and their business was to distribute to their brothers.

14 ‘Na Gode! Dawa: ma! Na da Dia Debolo amola Dima nodone sia: ne gadosu hou bagade fidima: ne hamoi. Amo Di ba: ma!’

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 Amo esoga na da Yuda fi dunu Sa: bade esoga hawa: hamonanebe ba: i. Mogili ilia da waini hano lama: ne, waini fage ososa: gisu. Mogili da gagoma, waini, figi fage amola liligi eno amo ilia dougi da: iya lidili legelalebe, na da ba: i. Ilia da amo liligi Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega gaguli masusa: dawa: i. Na da ilima Sa: bade eso amoga liligi mae bidi lama: ne sisane sia: i.

In those days I saw some men treading wine presses on the Sabbath in Judah, bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys with wine, grapes, 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 Dunu eno da musa: Daia moilaiga esalu, ilia da Yelusaleme amo ganodini esalebe ba: i. Ilia da menabo amola liligi eno bagohame amo Sa: bade esoga Yu dunuma bidi lama: ne, Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega gaguli masu.

Some men of Tyre also lived there, who brought in fish and all kinds of wares, and sold on the Sabbath to the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.

17 Na da Yu ouligisu dunuma gagabole amane sia: i, “Dilia da wadela: le hamonana. Dilia da hadigi Sa: bade eso amo wadela: sa.

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 Amo baiga Gode da musa: Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade wadela: lesi dagoi amola dilia aowalali ilima se dabe bagade iasu. Be dilia da Gode da Isala: ili dunuma bu ougima: ne, Sa: bade eso wadela: sa,” na gagabole sia: i.

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

19 Amaiba: le, Sa: bade eso huluane da muni, daeya agoane, ilia da moilai logo ga: sima: ne na da sia: i. Amalalu, Sa: bade eso da dagobeba: le fawane bu doasima: ne sia: i. Na da na hawa: hamosu dunu mogili ilia logo ga: su sosodo aligima: ne sia: i. Dunu da Sa: bade eso amoga liligi ganodini mae gaguli misa: ne, agoane hamoi.

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, so that no burden should be brought in on the Sabbath day.

20 Eso afae afae bidi lasu dunu mogili da Falaida: i gasi amoga moilai gagoi amoga gadili esalebe ba: i.

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

21 Na da ilima sisasu amane olelei, “Dilia da abuliba: le hahabe misa: ne ouligisala: ? Dilia amo hou bu hamosea, na da dilima doagala: musa: misunu.” Amalalu, ilia da Sa: bade esoga bu hame misi.

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 Na da Lifai dunuma amo ilia da ilia ledo hou dodofelalu, Sa: bade eso mae wadela: ma: ne, ilia da logo ga: su amo sosodo aligima: ne sia: i. Gode! Amo amola dawa: ma! Di da asigi bagadeba: le, na gaga: ma.

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

23 Amola amo esoga, Yu dunu mogili ilia da A: siedode, A:mone amola Moua: be soge amodili uda lai dagoi, na nabi.

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

24 Ilia mano mogili da A: siedode sia: o ga fi sia: fawane sia: su. Ilia da ninia Isala: ili sia: hame dawa: i galu.

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 Na da amo dunuma gagabole sia: i. Na da Gode da ilima gagabusu aligima: ne sia: i. Na da ili fasu amola ilia dialuma hinabo golole fasi. Amalalu, na da sia: beba: le, ilia da Gode Ea Dioba: le, ilia amola ilia mano da ga fi uda eno hamedafa lamu ilegele sia: i.

I contended with them, cursed them, struck certain of them, 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 Na amane sia: i. “Hina bagade Soloumane da ga fi uda laiba: le, wadela: le bagade hamosu. Soloumane da fifi asi gala huluane ilia hina bagade baligi dagoi. Gode da e dogolegeiba: le, e Isala: ili soge huluane ouligima: ne, hina bagade hamoi. Be e da dafane, wadela: le hamoi dagoi.

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

27 Amaiba: le, ninia da dilia hou defele, Gode Ea sia: mae nabawane ga fi uda lamu da defeala: ? Defea hame mabu!”

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

28 Yoiada da gobele salasu Ouligisu Ilaiasibi, amo ea mano esalu. Be Yoiada egefe afae da Sa: naba: la: de (ea moilai da Bede Houlone) amo ea uda mano lai. Amaiba: le, na da Yoiada ema Yelusaleme moilai fisili masa: ne sia: i. Amola e da mugululi asi.

One of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite; therefore I chased him from me.

29 Hina Gode! Dawa: ma! Amo dunu ilia da gobele salasu hou ilegei amo wadela: lesi dagoi amola gousa: su di da Lifai amola gobele salasu dunu ilima hamoi, amo wadela: lesi.

Remember them, my God, because they have defiled the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and of the Levites.

30 Na da Isala: ili dunu hadigi ba: ma: ne, ledo hou amola liligi huluane fadegai. Lifai amola gobele salasu dunu ilia hawa: hamosu noga: le dawa: ma: ne, na da ilia hawa: hamosu sema dedei.

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

31 Na da lalu ifa amo Godema gobele salasu hamoma: ne, amo ilia da eso ilegei amoga gaguli misa: ne sia: i. Amola dunu huluane da ilia bisili fai gagoma amola ifa fage gaguli misa: ne sia: i. Hina Gode! Amo na hou huluane dawa: ma! Amola nama hahawane hamoma: ne ilegema! Sia: ama dagoi

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