1. בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא נִקְרָא בְּסֵפֶר מֹשֶׁה בְּאָזְנֵי הָעָם וְנִמְצָא כָּתוּב בּוֹ אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יָבוֹא עַמֹּנִי וּמֹאָבִי בִּקְהַל הָאֱלֹהִים עַד־עוֹלָם ׃
|
1. On that H1931 day H3117 they read H7121 in the book H5612 of Moses H4872 in the audience H241 of the people H5971 ; and therein was found H4672 written H3789 , that H834 the Ammonite H5984 and the Moabite H4125 should not H3808 come H935 into the congregation H6951 of God H430 forever H5704 H5769 ;
|
|
2. כִּי לֹא קִדְּמוּ אֶת־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּלֶּחֶם וּבַמָּיִם וַיִּשְׂכֹּר עָלָיו אֶת־בִּלְעָם לְקַלְלוֹ וַיַּהֲפֹךְ אֱלֹהֵינוּ הַקְּלָלָה לִבְרָכָה ׃
|
2. Because H3588 they met H6923 not H3808 H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 with bread H3899 and with water H4325 , but hired H7936 H853 Balaam H1109 against H5921 them , that he should curse H7043 them : howbeit our God H430 turned H2015 the curse H7045 into a blessing H1293 .
|
|
3. וַיְהִי כְּשָׁמְעָם אֶת־הַתּוֹרָה וַיַּבְדִּילוּ כָל־עֵרֶב מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל ׃
|
3. Now it came to pass H1961 , when they had heard H8085 H853 the law H8451 , that they separated H914 from Israel H4480 H3478 all H3605 the mixed multitude H6154 .
|
|
4. וְלִפְנֵי מִזֶּה אֶלְיָשִׁיב הַכֹּהֵן נָתוּן בְּלִשְׁכַּת בֵּית־אֱלֹהֵינוּ קָרוֹב לְטוֹבִיָּה ׃
|
4. And before H6440 this H4480 H2088 , Eliashib H475 the priest H3548 , having the oversight H5414 of the chamber H3957 of the house H1004 of our God H430 , was allied H7138 unto Tobiah H2900 :
|
|
5. וַיַּעַשׂ לוֹ לִשְׁכָּה גְדוֹלָה וְשָׁם הָיוּ לְפָנִים נֹתְנִים אֶת־הַמִּנְחָה הַלְּבוֹנָה וְהַכֵּלִים וּמַעְשַׂר הַדָּגָן הַתִּירוֹשׁ וְהַיִּצְהָר מִצְוַת הַלְוִיִּם וְהַמְשֹׁרְרִים וְהַשֹּׁעֲרִים וּתְרוּמַת הַכֹּהֲנִים ׃
|
5. And he had prepared H6213 for him a great H1419 chamber H3957 , where H8033 formerly H6440 H1961 they laid H5414 H853 the meat offerings H4503 , the frankincense H3828 , and the vessels H3627 , and the tithes H4643 of the corn H1715 , the new wine H8492 , and the oil H3323 , which was commanded H4687 to be given to the Levites H3881 , and the singers H7891 , and the porters H7778 ; and the offerings H8641 of the priests H3548 .
|
|
6. וּבְכָל־זֶה לֹא הָיִיתִי בִּירוּשָׁלָםִ כִּי בִּשְׁנַת שְׁלֹשִׁים וּשְׁתַּיִם לְאַרְתַּחְשַׁסְתְּא מֶלֶךְ־בָּבֶל בָּאתִי אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ וּלְקֵץ יָמִים נִשְׁאַלְתִּי מִן־הַמֶּלֶךְ ׃
|
6. But in all H3605 this H2088 time was H1961 not H3808 I at Jerusalem H3389 : for H3588 in the two H8147 and thirtieth H7970 year H8141 of Artaxerxes H783 king H4428 of Babylon H894 came H935 I unto H413 the king H4428 , and after H7093 certain days H3117 obtained I leave H7592 of H4480 the king H4428 :
|
|
7. וָאָבוֹא לִירוּשָׁלִָם וָאָבִינָה בָרָעָה אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה אֶלְיָשִׁיב לְטוֹבִיָּה לַעֲשׂוֹת לוֹ נִשְׁכָּה בְּחַצְרֵי בֵּית הָאֱלֹהִים ׃
|
7. And I came H935 to Jerusalem H3389 , and understood H995 of the evil H7451 that H834 Eliashib H475 did H6213 for Tobiah H2900 , in preparing H6213 him a chamber H5393 in the courts H2691 of the house H1004 of God H430 .
|
|
8. וַיֵּרַע לִי מְאֹד וָאַשְׁלִיכָה אֶת־כָּל־כְּלֵי בֵית־טוֹבִיָּה הַחוּץ מִן־הַלִּשְׁכָּה ׃
|
8. And it grieved H7489 me sore H3966 : therefore I cast forth H7993 H853 all H3605 the household H1004 stuff H3627 of Tobiah H2900 out H2351 of H4480 the chamber H3957 .
|
|
9. וָאֹמְרָה וַיְטַהֲרוּ הַלְּשָׁכוֹת וָאָשִׁיבָה שָּׁם כְּלֵי בֵּית הָאֱלֹהִים אֶת־הַמִּנְחָה וְהַלְּבוֹנָה ׃ פ
|
9. Then I commanded H559 , and they cleansed H2891 the chambers H3957 : and thither H8033 brought I again H7725 the vessels H3627 of the house H1004 of God H430 , with H854 the meat offering H4503 and the frankincense H3828 .
|
|
10. וָאֵדְעָה כִּי־מְנָיוֹת הַלְוִיִּם לֹא נִתָּנָה וַיִּבְרְחוּ אִישׁ־לְשָׂדֵהוּ הַלְוִיִּם וְהַמְשֹׁרְרִים עֹשֵׂי הַמְּלָאכָה ׃
|
10. And I perceived H3045 that H3588 the portions H4521 of the Levites H3881 had not H3808 been given H5414 them : for the Levites H3881 and the singers H7891 , that did H6213 the work H4399 , were fled H1272 every one H376 to his field H7704 .
|
|
11. וָאָרִיבָה אֶת־הַסְּגָנִים וָאֹמְרָה מַדּוּעַ נֶעֱזַב בֵּית־הָאֱלֹהִים וָאֶקְבְּצֵם וָאַעֲמִדֵם עַל־עָמְדָם ׃
|
11. Then contended H7378 I with H854 the rulers H5461 , and said H559 , Why H4069 is the house H1004 of God H430 forsaken H5800 ? And I gathered them together H6908 , and set H5975 them in H5921 their place H5977 .
|
|
12. וְכָל־יְהוּדָה הֵבִיאוּ מַעְשַׂר הַדָּגָן וְהַתִּירוֹשׁ וְהַיִּצְהָר לָאוֹצָרוֹת ׃
|
12. Then brought H935 all H3605 Judah H3063 the tithe H4643 of the corn H1715 and the new wine H8492 and the oil H3323 unto the treasuries H214 .
|
|
13. וָאוֹצְרָה עַל־אוֹצָרוֹת שֶׁלֶמְיָה הַכֹּהֵן וְצָדוֹק הַסּוֹפֵר וּפְדָיָה מִן־הַלְוִיִּם וְעַל־יָדָם חָנָן בֶּן־זַכּוּר בֶּן־מַתַּנְיָה כִּי נֶאֱמָנִים נֶחְשָׁבוּ וַעֲלֵיהֶם לַחֲלֹק לַאֲחֵיהֶם ׃ פ
|
13. And I made treasurers H686 over H5921 the treasuries H214 , Shelemiah H8018 the priest H3548 , and Zadok H6659 the scribe H5608 , and of H4480 the Levites H3881 , Pedaiah H6305 : and next to H5921 H3027 them was Hanan H2605 the son H1121 of Zaccur H2139 , the son H1121 of Mattaniah H4983 : for H3588 they were counted H2803 faithful H539 , and their office H5921 was to distribute H2505 unto their brethren H251 .
|
|
14. זָכְרָה־לִּי אֱלֹהַי עַל־זֹאת וְאַל־תֶּמַח חֲסָדַי אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתִי בְּבֵית אֱלֹהַי וּבְמִשְׁמָרָיו ׃
|
14. Remember H2142 me , O my God H430 , concerning H5921 this H2063 , and wipe not out H4229 H408 my good deeds H2617 that H834 I have done H6213 for the house H1004 of my God H430 , and for the offices H4929 thereof.
|
|
15. בַּיָּמִים הָהֵמָּה רָאִיתִי בִיהוּדָה דֹּרְכִים־גִּתּוֹת בַּשַּׁבָּת וּמְבִיאִים הָעֲרֵמוֹת וְעֹמְסִים עַל־הַחֲמֹרִים וְאַף־יַיִן עֲנָבִים וּתְאֵנִים וְכָל־מַשָּׂא וּמְבִיאִים יְרוּשָׁלַםִ בְּיוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת וָאָעִיד בְּיוֹם מִכְרָם צָיִד ׃
|
15. In those H1992 days H3117 saw H7200 I in Judah H3063 some treading H1869 wine presses H1660 on the sabbath H7676 , and bringing in H935 sheaves H6194 , and lading H6006 H5921 asses H2543 ; as also H637 wine H3196 , grapes H6025 , and figs H8384 , and all H3605 manner of burdens H4853 , which they brought into H935 Jerusalem H3389 on the sabbath H7676 day H3117 : and I testified H5749 against them in the day H3117 wherein they sold H4376 victuals H6718 .
|
|
16. וְהַצֹּרִים יָשְׁבוּ בָהּ מְבִיאִים דָּאג וְכָל־מֶכֶר וּמֹכְרִים בַּשַּׁבָּת לִבְנֵי יְהוּדָה וּבִירוּשָׁלִָם ׃
|
16. There dwelt H3427 men of Tyre H6876 also therein , which brought H935 fish H1709 , and all H3605 manner of ware H4377 , and sold H4376 on the sabbath H7676 unto the children H1121 of Judah H3063 , and in Jerusalem H3389 .
|
|
17. וָאָרִיבָה אֵת חֹרֵי יְהוּדָה וָאֹמְרָה לָהֶם מָה־הַדָּבָר הָרָע הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם עֹשִׂים וּמְחַלְּלִים אֶת־יוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת ׃
|
17. Then I contended H7378 with H854 the nobles H2715 of Judah H3063 , and said H559 unto them, What H4100 evil H7451 thing H1697 is this H2088 that H834 ye H859 do H6213 , and profane H2490 H853 the sabbath H7676 day H3117 ?
|
|
18. הֲלוֹא כֹה עָשׂוּ אֲבֹתֵיכֶם וַיָּבֵא אֱלֹהֵינוּ עָלֵינוּ אֵת כָּל־הָרָעָה הַזֹּאת וְעַל הָעִיר הַזֹּאת וְאַתֶּם מוֹסִיפִים חָרוֹן עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל לְחַלֵּל אֶת־הַשַּׁבָּת ׃ פ
|
18. Did H6213 not H3808 your fathers H1 thus H3541 , and did not our God H430 bring H935 H853 all H3605 this H2063 evil H7451 upon H5921 us , and upon H5921 this H2063 city H5892 ? yet ye H859 bring more H3254 wrath H2740 upon H5921 Israel H3478 by profaning H2490 H853 the sabbath H7676 .
|
|
19. וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר צָלֲלוּ שַׁעֲרֵי יְרוּשָׁלַםִ לִפְנֵי הַשַּׁבָּת וָאֹמְרָה וַיִּסָּגְרוּ הַדְּלָתוֹת וָאֹמְרָה אֲשֶׁר לֹא יִפְתָּחוּם עַד אַחַר הַשַּׁבָּת וּמִנְּעָרַי הֶעֱמַדְתִּי עַל־הַשְּׁעָרִים לֹא־יָבוֹא מַשָּׂא בְּיוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת ׃
|
19. And it came to pass H1961 , that when H834 the gates H8179 of Jerusalem H3389 began to be dark H6751 before H6440 the sabbath H7676 , I commanded H559 that the gates H1817 should be shut H5462 , and charged H559 that H834 they should not H3808 be opened H6605 till H5704 after H310 the sabbath H7676 : and some of my servants H4480 H5288 set H5975 I at H5921 the gates H8179 , that there should no H3808 burden H4853 be brought in H935 on the sabbath H7676 day H3117 .
|
|
20. וַיָּלִינוּ הָרֹכְלִים וּמֹכְרֵי כָל־מִמְכָּר מִחוּץ לִירוּשָׁלִָם פַּעַם וּשְׁתָּיִם ׃
|
20. So the merchants H7402 and sellers H4376 of all H3605 kind of ware H4465 lodged H3885 without H4480 H2351 Jerusalem H3389 once H6471 or twice H8147 .
|
|
21. וָאָעִידָה בָהֶם וָאֹמְרָה אֲלֵיהֶם מַדּוּעַ אַתֶּם לֵנִים נֶגֶד הַחוֹמָה אִם־תִּשְׁנוּ יָד אֶשְׁלַח בָּכֶם מִן־הָעֵת הַהִיא לֹא־בָאוּ בַּשַּׁבָּת ׃ ס
|
21. Then I testified H5749 against them , and said H559 unto H413 them, Why H4069 lodge H3885 ye H859 about H5048 the wall H2346 ? if H518 ye do so again H8138 , I will lay H7971 hands H3027 on you. From H4480 that H1931 time H6256 forth came H935 they no H3808 more on the sabbath H7676 .
|
|
22. וָאֹמְרָה לַלְוִיִּם אֲשֶׁר יִהְיוּ מִטַּהֲרִים וּבָאִים שֹׁמְרִים הַשְּׁעָרִים לְקַדֵּשׁ אֶת־יוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת גַּם־זֹאת זָכְרָה־לִּי אֱלֹהַי וְחוּסָה עָלַי כְּרֹב חַסְדֶּךָ ׃ פ
|
22. And I commanded H559 the Levites H3881 that H834 they should H1961 cleanse themselves H2891 , and that they should come H935 and keep H8104 the gates H8179 , to sanctify H6942 H853 the sabbath H7676 day H3117 . Remember H2142 me , O my God H430 , concerning this H2063 also H1571 , and spare H2347 H5921 me according to the greatness H7230 of thy mercy H2617 .
|
|
23. גַּם בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם רָאִיתִי אֶת־הַיְּהוּדִים הֹשִׁיבוּ נָשִׁים אַשְׁדֳּודִיּוֹת עַמֳּונִיּוֹת מוֹאֲבִיּוֹת ׃
|
23. In those H1992 days H3117 also H1571 saw H7200 I H853 Jews H3064 that had married H3427 wives H802 of Ashdod H796 , of Ammon H5984 , and of Moab H4125 :
|
|
24. וּבְנֵיהֶם חֲצִי מְדַבֵּר אַשְׁדּוֹדִית וְאֵינָם מַכִּירִים לְדַבֵּר יְהוּדִית וְכִלְשׁוֹן עַם וָעָם ׃
|
24. And their children H1121 spoke H1696 half H2677 in the speech of Ashdod H797 , and could H5234 not H369 speak H1696 in the Jews' language H3066 , but according to the language H3956 of each H5971 people H5971 .
|
|
25. וָאָרִיב עִמָּם וָאֲקַלְלֵם וָאַכֶּה מֵהֶם אֲנָשִׁים וָאֶמְרְטֵם וָאַשְׁבִּיעֵם בֵּאלֹהִים אִם־תִּתְּנוּ בְנֹתֵיכֶם לִבְנֵיהֶם וְאִם־תִּשְׂאוּ מִבְּנֹתֵיהֶם לִבְנֵיכֶם וְלָכֶם ׃
|
25. And I contended H7378 with H5973 them , and cursed H7043 them , and smote H5221 certain H376 of H4480 them , and plucked off their hair H4803 , and made them swear H7650 by God H430 , saying , Ye shall not H518 give H5414 your daughters H1323 unto their sons H1121 , nor H518 take H5375 their daughters H4480 H1323 unto your sons H1121 , or for yourselves.
|
|
26. הֲלוֹא עַל־אֵלֶּה חָטָא־שְׁלֹמֹה מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל וּבַגּוֹיִם הָרַבִּים לֹא־הָיָה מֶלֶךְ כָּמֹהוּ וְאָהוּב לֵאלֹהָיו הָיָה וַיִּתְּנֵהוּ אֱלֹהִים מֶלֶךְ עַל־כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל גַּם־אוֹתוֹ הֶחֱטִיאוּ הַנָּשִׁים הַנָּכְרִיּוֹת ׃
|
26. Did not H3808 Solomon H8010 king H4428 of Israel H3478 sin H2398 by H5921 these things H428 ? yet among many H7227 nations H1471 was H1961 there no H3808 king H4428 like him H3644 , who was H1961 beloved H157 of his God H430 , and God H430 made H5414 him king H4428 over H5921 all H3605 Israel H3478 : nevertheless H1571 even him did outlandish H5237 women H802 cause to sin H2398 .
|
|
27. וְלָכֶם הֲנִשְׁמַע לַעֲשֹׂת אֵת כָּל־הָרָעָה הַגְּדוֹלָה הַזֹּאת לִמְעֹל בֵּאלֹהֵינוּ לְהֹשִׁיב נָשִׁים נָכְרִיּוֹת ׃
|
27. Shall we then hearken H8085 unto you to do H6213 H853 all H3605 this H2063 great H1419 evil H7451 , to transgress H4603 against our God H430 in marrying H3427 strange H5237 wives H802 ?
|
|
28. וּמִבְּנֵי יוֹיָדָע בֶּן־אֶלְיָשִׁיב הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל חָתָן לְסַנְבַלַּט הַחֹרֹנִי וָאַבְרִיחֵהוּ מֵעָלָי ׃
|
28. And one of the sons H4480 H1121 of Joiada H3111 , the son H1121 of Eliashib H475 the high H1419 priest H3548 , was son in law H2860 to Sanballat H5571 the Horonite H2772 : therefore I chased H1272 him from H4480 H5921 me.
|
|
29. זָכְרָה לָהֶם אֱלֹהָי עַל גָּאֳלֵי הַכְּהֻנָּה וּבְרִית הַכְּהֻנָּה וְהַלְוִיִּם ׃
|
29. Remember H2142 them , O my God H430 , because H5921 they have defiled H1352 the priesthood H3550 , and the covenant H1285 of the priesthood H3550 , and of the Levites H3881 .
|
|
30. וְטִהַרְתִּים מִכָּל־נֵכָר וָאַעֲמִידָה מִשְׁמָרוֹת לַכֹּהֲנִים וְלַלְוִיִּם אִישׁ בִּמְלַאכְתּוֹ ׃
|
30. Thus cleansed H2891 I them from all H4480 H3605 strangers H5236 , and appointed H5975 the wards H4931 of the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881 , every one H376 in his business H4399 ;
|
|
31. וּלְקֻרְבַּן הָעֵצִים בְּעִתִּים מְזֻמָּנוֹת וְלַבִּכּוּרִים זָכְרָה־לִּי אֱלֹהַי לְטוֹבָה ׃
|
31. And for the wood H6086 offering H7133 , at times H6256 appointed H2163 , and for the firstfruits H1061 . Remember H2142 me , O my God H430 , for good H2896 .
