1 Aquel día se leyó en el rollo de Moisés a oídos del pueblo. Se encontró escrito en él que los amonitas y moabitas no debían entrar jamás en la congregación de ʼElohim,
1 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 porque no salieron a recibir a los hijos de Israel con pan y agua, sino alquilaron a Balaam contra ellos para que los maldijera. Pero nuestro ʼElohim convirtió la maldición en bendición.
2 because they didn’t 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 Por tanto, al escuchar la Ley, excluyeron de Israel a todo extranjero.
3 It came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated all the mixed multitude from Israel.
4 Antes de esto, el sacerdote Eliasib, encargado de la cámara del Templo de nuestro ʼElohim, quien emparentó con Tobías,
4 Now before this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed over the rooms of the house of our God, being allied to Tobiah,
5 le preparó una gran cámara donde anteriormente se depositaban las ofrendas vegetales, el incienso, los vasos, los diezmos del grano, vino nuevo y aceite asignado a los levitas, cantores y porteros, y la ofrenda para los sacerdotes.
5 had prepared for him a great room, where previously 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 Pero durante todo esto yo no estaba en Jerusalén. El año 32 de Artajerjes, rey de Babilonia, fui ante el rey. Después de un tiempo pedí permiso al rey
6 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 y regresé a Jerusalén. Me percaté del mal que Eliasib hizo a favor de Tobías, al prepararle una cámara en los patios del Templo de ʼElohim.
7 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 Por eso me airé muchísimo. Eché todas las pertenencias de Tobías fuera de la cámara.
8 It grieved me severely. Therefore I threw all Tobiah’s household stuff out of the room.
9 Ordené que limpiaran las cámaras y dispuse que restituyeran allí los utensilios sagrados del Templo de ʼElohim, con las ofrendas vegetales y el incienso.
9 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 También supe que a los levitas no les fueron dadas sus porciones, de manera que los levitas y los cantores, en vez de cumplir sus tareas, cada uno se fue a su campo.
10 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 Entonces reprendí a los dirigentes: ¿Por qué está abandonado el Templo de ʼElohim? Los reuní y los restablecí en su puesto.
11 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 Todo Judá llevó el diezmo del grano, del vino nuevo y del aceite a los depósitos.
12 Then all Judah brought the tithe of the grain, the new wine, and the oil to the treasuries.
13 Designé al sacerdote Selemías, al escriba Sadoc y de los levitas a Pedaías como encargado de los depósitos. Junto a ellos estaba Hanán, hijo de Zacur, hijo de Matanías, porque eran considerados fieles, y les correspondió repartir entre sus hermanos.
13 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 ¡Acuérdate de mí por esto, oh ʼElohim mío, y no borres mis obras leales que hice para el Templo de mi ʼElohim y su servicio!
14 Remember me, my God, concerning this, and don’t wipe out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for its observances.
15 En esos días vi en Judá a unos que pisaban lagares en sábado, llevaban gavillas cargadas sobre asnos, y también traían a Jerusalén vino, uvas, higos y toda clase de carga en sábado. Protesté a causa del día cuando vendían las provisiones.
15 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 Vivían también en la ciudad hombres de Tiro, quienes importaban pescado y toda clase de mercancías que vendían en sábado a los hijos de Judá, aun en Jerusalén.
16 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 Entonces reprendí a los jefes de Judá: ¿Qué significa esta mala acción que hacen, y profanan así el sábado?
17 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 ¿No hicieron así sus antepasados, y nuestro ʼElohim trajo toda esta desgracia sobre nosotros y esta ciudad? ¡Ustedes aumentan la ira divina contra Israel al profanar el sábado!
18 Didn’t your fathers do this, and didn’t our God bring all this evil on us and on this city? Yet you bring more wrath on Israel by profaning the Sabbath.”
19 Aconteció que en la víspera del sábado, cuando llegaba la noche a las puertas de Jerusalén, ordené que las puertas fueran cerradas hasta pasar el sábado. Emplacé a algunos de mis esclavos en las puertas para que no entrara alguna carga en sábado.
19 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 Pero los comerciantes y vendedores de toda esa clase de mercancías pasaron la noche fuera de Jerusalén una y dos veces.
20 So the merchants and sellers of all kinds of wares camped outside of Jerusalem once or twice.
21 Entonces yo les advertí: ¿Por qué pernoctan frente al muro? Si lo hacen otra vez, les echaré mano. Desde ese tiempo no volvieron en sábado.
21 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 didn’t come on the Sabbath.
22 Por otra parte, ordené a los levitas que se purificaran y acudieran a vigilar las puertas para santificar el día sábado. ¡Acuérdate de mí también por esto, oh ʼElohim mío, y perdóname según la inmensidad de tu misericordia!
22 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 En aquellos días también vi que algunos judíos se casaron con esposas de Asdod, de Amón y Moab.
23 In those days I also saw the Jews who had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab;
24 Sus hijos hablaban a medias el lenguaje de Asdod. Ninguno de ellos podía hablar la lengua de Judá, sino el lenguaje de su propio pueblo.
24 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 Contendí con ellos y los maldije. Castigué a algunos de ellos y les arranqué su cabello. Los juramenté por ʼElohim que dijeran: No darán sus hijas a los hijos de ellos, ni tomarán de las hijas de ellos para sus hijos, ni para ustedes mismos.
25 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 ¿No pecó Salomón, el rey de Israel por estas mismas cosas? Aunque entre muchas naciones no hubo rey como él, fue amado por su ʼElohim, y ʼElohim lo hizo rey sobre todo Israel, sin embargo, las mujeres extranjeras lo hicieron pecar.
26 Didn’t 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 ¿Entonces escucharemos de ustedes este gran mal al ser infieles contra nuestro ʼElohim y convivir con mujeres extranjeras?
27 Shall we then listen to you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in marrying foreign women?”
28 Ahuyenté de mi lado a uno de los hijos de Joiada, hijo del sumo sacerdote Eliasib, porque era yerno de Sanbalat horonita.
28 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 ¡Acuérdate de ellos, oh ʼElohim mío, porque profanaron la investidura sacerdotal, el pacto del sacerdocio y los levitas!
29 Remember them, my God, because they have defiled the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and of the Levites.
30 Así los purifiqué de todo lo extranjero y establecí las funciones para los sacerdotes y los levitas, cada uno en su tarea,
30 Thus I cleansed them from all foreigners and appointed duties for the priests and for the Levites, everyone in his work;
31 e [hice arreglos] para la ofrenda de la leña en los tiempos señalados y las primicias. ¡Acuérdate de mí para bien, oh ʼElohim mío!
31 and for the wood offering, at appointed times, and for the first fruits. Remember me, my God, for good.
