Nehemiah 13

On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever;
Tamin'izany andro izany dia novakiana teo anatrehan'ny olona ny teny tao amin'ny bokin'i Mosesy, ka hita voasoratra ao fa ny Amonita sy ny Moabita dia tsy mahazo miditra amin'ny fiangonan'Andriamanitra ao fa ny Amonita sy ny Moabita dia tsy mahazo miditra amin'ny fiangonan'Andriamanitra mandrakizay,
Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing.
satria tsy nitsena hanina sy rano ny Zanak'Isiraely izy, fa nanamby an'i Balama hanozona azy; kanjo nampodin'Andriamanitsika ho fitahiana kosa ny fanozonana.
Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.
Ary rehefa ren'ny olona ny lalàna, dia navahany hiala tamin'ny Isiraely ny olona hafa firenena rehetra.
And before this, Eliashib the priest, having the oversight of the chamber of the house of our God, was allied unto Tobiah:
Ary talohan'izany Eliasiba mpisorona, izay voatendry ho ao anatin'ny efi-trano ao an-tranon'Andriamanitsika sady havan'i Tobia akaikiny,
And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the meat offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, which was commanded to be given to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the offerings of the priests.
dia efa nanamboatra efi-trano lehibe ho azy, dia ilay nitehirizana ny fanatitra hohanina fahiny mbamin'ny ditin-kazo mani-pofona sy ny fanaka ary ny ampahafolon'ny vary sy ny ranom-boaloboka sy ny diloilo, izay anjara voadidy ho an'ny Levita sy ny mpihira ary ny mpiandry varavarana, ary ny fanatitra asandratra ho an'ny mpisorona.
But in all this time was not I at Jerusalem: for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I unto the king, and after certain days obtained I leave of the king:
Fa tamin'izany rehetra izany dia tsy mba tany Jerosalema aho: fa tamin'ny taona faharoa amby telo-polo nanjakan'i Artaksersesy, mpanjakan'i Babylona, no nahatongavako tany amin'ny mpanjaka; fa nony taoriandriana kely dia niera tamin'ny mpanjaka aho;
And I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.
ary nankany Jerosalema aho ka nahita ny ratsy nataon'i Eliasiba ho an'i Tobia tamin'ny nanamboarany efi-trano ho azy teo anatin'ny kianjan'ny tranon'Andriamanitra.
And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber.
Dia nalahelo indrindra aho, ka navoakako ny fanaka rehetra izay an'i Tobia hiala tamin'ny efi-trano.
Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat offering and the frankincense.
Ary nasaiko nodiovin'ny olona ny efi-trano, dia naveriko tao indray ny fanaky ny tranon'Andriamanitra mbamin'ny fanatitra hohanina sy ny ditin-kazo mani-pofona.
And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.
Ary hitako fa tsy voaloa ny fiveloman'ny Levita; ka dia samy efa nandositra ho any an-tsahany avy ny Levita sy ny mpihira izay nanao ny raharaha.
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.
Dia nifandahatra tamin'ny mpanapaka aho ka nanao hoe: Nahoana no dia ilaozana ny tranon'Andriamanitra? Dia namory azy aho ka nametraka azy teo amin'ny toerany avy.
Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries.
Dia nentin'ny Joda rehetra ho ao amin'ny trano firaketana ny ampahafolon'ny vary sy ny ranom-boaloboka ary ny diloilo.
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 office was to distribute unto their brethren.
Ary nanendry mpitandrina ny trano firaketana aho, dia Selemia mpisorona sy Zadoka mpanoratra ary Pedaia avy tamin'ny Levita; ary manarakaraka azy telo lahy dia Hanana, zanak'i Zakora, zanak'i Matania; fa natao ho mahatoky ireo; ary ny adidin'ireo dia ny hizara ho an'ny rahalahiny.
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 offices thereof.
Tsarovy aho noho izany, ry Andriamanitro ô, ka aza kosehina ny soa nataoko tao amin'ny tranon'Andriamanitro sy ny amin'ny raharaha tokony hatao ao.
In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; 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.
Ary tamin'izany andro izany dia nahita ny sasany tany Joda aho fa nanosihosy famiazam-boaloboka tamin'ny Sabata sy nampiditra amboara ary nampitondra entana ny boriky sady nitondra divay koa sy voaloboka sy aviavy ary entana samy hafa rehetra, izay nentiny ho any Jerosalema tamin'ny andro Sabata; dia nananatra azy mafy aho tamin'ny andro nivarotany hanina.
There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
Ary nisy olona avy any Tyro nitoetra tao, izay nitondra hazandrano sy varotra samy hafa ka nivarotra tamin'ny taranak'i Joda sy tany Jerosalema tamin'ny Sabata;
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?
Dia nifandahatra tamin'ireo manan-kaja amin'ny Joda aho ka nanao taminy hoe: Inona izao zava-dratsy ataonareo izao, no dia mandoto ny andro Sabata ianareo?
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.
Tsy nanao toy izao va ny razanareo, ka dia nahatran'Andriamanitsika amintsika sy amin'ity tanàna ity izao loza rehetra izao? fa ianareo izao dia efa mampitombo ny fahatezerana mirehitra izay mihatra amin'ny Isiraely amin'ny andotoanareo ny Sabata.
And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.
Ary raha vao malomaloka ny vavahadin'i Jerosalema talohan'ny Sabata, dia nasaiko nohidiana ny vavahady, ka tsy navelako hovohana mandra-pahatapitry ny Sabata ary notendreko ny zatovoko sasany hiambina teo am-bavahady mba tsy hampidirana entana amin'ny andro Sabata.
So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice.
Ka dia nandry teo ivelan'i Jerosalema indray mandeha na indroa ny mpandranto sy ny mpivarotra zavatra samy hafa;
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.
dia nananatra azy mafy aho ka nanao taminy hoe: Nahoana ianareo no mandry eto anilan'ny manda Raha mbola manao izany indray ianareo, dia hosamboriko. Koa hatramin'izany andro izany dia tsy tonga tamin'ny Sabata intsony izy.
And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.
Ary ny Levita dia nasaiko nanadio ny tenany ka ho avy hiambina eo am-bavahady, mba hanamasinany ny andro Sabata. Tsarovy aho noho izany koa, ry Andriamanitro ô, ary iantrao aho araka ny haben'ny famindram-ponao.
In those days also saw I Jews that had married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab:
Ary tamin'izany andro izany dia hitako ny Jiosy izay efa nanambady vehivavy avy any Asdoda sy Amona sy Moaba;
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.
ary ny antsasaky ny zanany dia nanao tenin'ny Asdodita, fa tsy nahay teny Jiosy, fa nanaraka ny fiteniny avy isam-pirenena izy.
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 unto your sons, or for yourselves.
Dia nifandahatra taminy aho ka nanozona azy ary namely ny sasany sy nandrompotra ny volony, dia nampianiana azy tamin'Andriamanitra hoe: Aza manome ny zanakareo-vavy ho vadin'ny zananilahy, ary aza maka ny zananivavy ho vadin'ny zanakareo-lahy, na ho vadinareo.
Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin.
Tsy izany va no nanotan'i Solomona, Mpanjakan'i Isiraely? kanefa tsy nisy mpanjaka tahaka azy tany amin'ny firenena maro, fa tian'Andriamaniny izy ka nataon'Andriamanitra ho mpanjaka tamin'ny Isiraely rehetra; kanefa na dia izy aza dia, nampanotain'ny vehivavy hafa firenena.
Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?
Koa mety va raha ianareo no re fa manao izao ratsy lehibe rehetra izao ka manota amin'Andriamanitsika amin'ny akanareo vehivavy hafa firenena ho vadinareo?
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.
Ary vinanton'i Sanbala Horonita ny anankiray amin'ny zanak'i Joiada, zanak'i Eliasiba, mpisoronabe, ka dia noroahiko niala teo amiko izy.
Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.
Tsarovy ireo, ry Andriamanitro ô, noho ny nandotoany fisoronana, eny, ny faneken'ny fisoronana sy ny Levita.
Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, and appointed the wards of the priests and the Levites, every one in his business;
Toy izany no nanadiovako azy ho afaka amin'ny tamin'ny olona hafa firenena rehetra, sy nanendreko ny anjara-raharahan'ny mpisorona sy ny Levita samy ho amin'ny raharahany avy,
And for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.
ary ny amin'ny fanaterana ny kitay hazo tamin'izay fotoan'androny sy ny voaloham-bokatra. Tsarovy aho ka hasoavy, ry Andriamanitro ô.
