Nehemiah 13
1 On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that an Ammonite and a Moabite should not enter into the assembly of God for ever;
A wannan rana aka karanta Littafin Musa da ƙarfi a kunnuwan mutane aka kuma sami an rubuta cewa kada a karɓi mutumin Ammon ko mutumin Mowab cikin taron Allah,
2 because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, to curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing.
domin ba su taryi Isra’ila da abinci da ruwa ba amma suka yi hayar Bala’am don yă kira la’ana a kansu. (Amma Allahnmu, ya mai da la’anar ta zama albarka.)
3 And it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.
Sa’ad da mutane suka ji wannan doka, sai suka ware daga Isra’ila duk waɗanda suke na baƙon zuriya.
4 Now before this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed over the chambers of the house of our God, being allied unto Tobiah,
Kafin wannan, an sa Eliyashib firist yă lura da ɗakuna ajiyar gidan Allahnmu. Yana da dangantaka na kurkusa da Tobiya,
5 had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the meal offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the wine, and the oil, which were given by commandment to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the heave offerings for the priests.
ya kuma tanada masa babban ɗakin da dā ake ajiyar hadayun hatsi da turare da kayayyaki haikali, da kuma zakan hatsi, sabon ruwan inabi da kuma mai da aka umarta don Lawiyawa, mawaƙa da kuma matsaran ƙofofi, da kuma sadakoki domin firistoci.
6 But in all this [time] I was not at Jerusalem: for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I went unto the king, and after certain days asked I leave of the king:
Amma yayinda dukan wannan yake faruwa, ba ni a Urushalima, gama a shekara ta talatin da biyu na Artazerzes sarkin Babilon na dawo wurin sarki. A wani lokaci daga baya na nemi izininsa
7 and I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.
sai na koma zuwa Urushalima. A nan na ji game da mugun abin da Eliyashib ya aikata da ya tanada wa Tobiya ɗaki a filayen gidan Allah.
8 And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber.
Na ɓace rai ƙwarai na kuma zubar da dukan kayan gidan Tobiya daga ɗakin.
9 Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meal offerings and the frankincense.
Na umarta a tsarkake ɗakunan, sa’an nan na mayar da kayan gidan Allah a cikin ɗakunan, tare da hadayun hatsi da kuma turare.
10 And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them; so that the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.
Na kuma ji cewa sassan da ake ba wa Lawiyawa ba a ba su ba, cewa kuma dukan Lawiyawa da mawaƙan da suke da hakkin hidima sun koma gonakinsu.
11 Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in their place.
Sai na tsawata wa shugabanni na kuma tambaye su na ce, “Me ya sa aka ƙyale gidan Allah?” Sa’an nan na kira su gaba ɗaya na sa su a wuraren aikinsu.
12 Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the wine and the oil unto the treasuries.
Dukan Yahuda suka kawo zakan hatsi, sabon ruwan inabi da mai cikin ɗakunan ajiya.
13 And 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 unto their brethren.
Na sa Shelemiya firist, Zadok marubuci, da wani Balawe mai suna Fedahiya su lura da ɗakunan ajiya na kuma sa Hanan ɗan Zakkur, ɗan Mattaniya ya zama mataimakinsu, domin an ɗauka waɗannan mutane amintattu ne. Aka ba su hakkin raban kayayyaki wa’yan’uwansu.
14 Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the observances thereof.
Ka tuna da ni saboda wannan, ya Allahna, kuma kada ka shafe abin da na yi da aminci domin gidan Allahna da kuma hidimarsa.
15 In those days saw I in Judah some treading winepresses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses [therewith]; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified [against them] in the day wherein they sold victuals.
A waɗannan kwanaki, na ga mutane a Yahuda suna matse ruwan inabi a ranar Asabbaci suna kuma kawo hatsi suna labta su a kan jakuna, tare da ruwan inabi,’ya’yan inabi, ɓaure da kaya iri-iri. Suna kuma kawowa dukan wannan cikin Urushalima a ranar Asabbaci. Saboda haka na gargaɗe su a kan sayar da abinci a wannan rana.
16 There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought in fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
Mutane daga Taya waɗanda suke zama a Urushalima suna shigar da kifi da kaya iri-iri na’yan kasuwa suna kuma sayar da su a Urushalima a ranar Asabbaci wa mutanen Yahuda.
17 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?
Sai na tsawata wa manyan Yahuda na ce musu, “Wanda irin mugun abu ke nan kuke yi, kuna ƙazantar da ranar Asabbaci?
18 Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.
Kakanninku ba su yi irin waɗannan abubuwa ba, har Allahnmu ya kawo dukan masifun nan a kanmu da kuma a kan wannan birni? Yanzu kuna tsokanar fushi mai yawa a kan Isra’ila ta wurin ƙazantar da Asabbaci.”
19 And 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 till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I over the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.
Sa’ad da inuwar yamma ya fāɗo a ƙofofin Urushalima kafin Asabbaci, na umarta a rufe ƙofofi kuma kada a buɗe sai Asabbaci ya wuce. Na kafa waɗansu mutanena a ƙofofin don kada a shigo da wani kaya a ranar Asabbaci.
20 So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice.
Sau ɗaya ko biyu,’yan kasuwa da masu sayar da kowane irin kaya suka kwana waje da Urushalima.
21 Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath.
Amma na ja kunnensu na ce, “Me ya sa kuke kwana kusa da katanga? In kuka ƙara yin haka, zan kama ku.” Daga wannan lokaci har zuwa gaba ba su ƙara zuwa a ranar Asabbaci ba.
22 And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember unto me, O my God, this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.
Sai na umarci Lawiyawa su tsarkake kansu su kuma tafi su yi tsaron ƙofofi don a kiyaye ranar Asabbaci da tsarki. Ka tuna da ni saboda wannan shi ma, ya Allahna, ka nuna mini jinƙai bisa ga madawwamiyar ƙaunarka.
23 In those days also saw I the Jews that had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, [and] of Moab:
Ban da haka, a waɗannan kwanakin na ga mutanen Yahuda waɗanda suka auri mata daga Ashdod, Ammon da Mowab.
24 and their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews’ language, but according to the language of each people.
Rabin’ya’yansu suna yaren Ashdod ko kuwa wani yare na waɗansu mutane, ba su kuwa san yadda za su yi Yahudanci ba.
25 And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, [saying], Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, or for yourselves.
Na tsawata musu na kuma kira la’ana a kansu. Na bugi waɗansu mutane na kuma ja gashin kansu. Na sa suka yi rantsuwa da sunan Allah na ce, “Kada ku ba da’ya’yanku mata aure ga’ya’yansu maza, ba kuwa za ku auri’ya’yansu mata wa’ya’yanku maza ko wa kanku ba.
26 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 even him did strange women cause to sin.
Ba don aure-aure irin waɗannan ne Solomon sarkin Isra’ila ya yi zunubi ba? A cikin yawancin al’ummai babu sarki kamar sa. Allahnsa ya ƙaunace shi, Allah kuma ya mai da shi sarki a kan dukan Isra’ila, amma duk da haka baren mata suka rinjaye shi ga zunubi.
27 Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in marrying strange women?
Yanzu za mu ji cewa ku ma kuna yin duk wannan mugunta kuna zama marasa aminci ga Allahnmu ta wurin auren baren mata?”
28 And 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.
Ɗaya daga cikin’ya’yan Yohiyada maza, ɗan Eliyashib babban firist, surukin Sanballat mutumin Horon ne. Na kuwa kore shi daga wurina.
29 Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.
Ka tuna da su, ya Allahna, domin sun ƙazantar da aikin firist da kuma alkawarin aikin firist da na Lawiyawa.
30 Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, and appointed wards for the priests and for the Levites, every one in his work;
Saboda haka na tsarkake firistoci da Lawiyawa daga kowane baƙon abu, na kuma ba su aikinsu, kowa ga aikinsa.
31 and for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.
Na kuma yi tanadi don sadakokin itace a ƙayyadaddun lokuta, da kuma don nunan fari. Ka tuna da ni da alheri, ya Allahna.
