Удаление аммонитян и моавитян из Израиля
13 В тот день народу читали вслух книгу Закона Моисея и нашли написанным там, что никакого аммонитянина и моавитянина нельзя принимать в Божье общество, 2 потому что они не встретили израильтян с пищей и водой, но наняли Валаама, чтобы проклясть их. (Но наш Бог превратил проклятие в благословение[a].) 3 Услышав этот закон, они удалили из Израиля всех, кто происходил от чужеземцев.
Восстановление порядка в храме
4 Перед этим заботе священника Элиашива были вверены хранилища дома нашего Бога. Он был тесно связан с Товией 5 и приготовил для него большую комнату, где прежде хранили хлебные приношения, ладан и храмовую утварь, а также десятины зерна, молодого вина и масла, предназначенные по Закону для левитов, певцов и привратников, а еще пожертвования для священников.
6 Но когда все это происходило, меня не было в Иерусалиме, ведь в тридцать второй год[b] правления Артаксеркса, царя Вавилона[c], я уже вернулся к царю. Некоторое время спустя я отпросился у него 7 и вернулся в Иерусалим. Здесь я узнал о зле, которое сделал Элиашив, приготовив во дворах Божьего дома комнату для Товии. 8 Я очень разгневался и выбросил все домашние вещи Товии из комнаты. 9 Я приказал очистить комнаты и опять внес в них утварь дома Божьего, хлебные приношения и ладан.
10 Еще я обнаружил, что доли, предназначенные для левитов, не были им даны и что все левиты и певцы, проводившие служения, вернулись на свои поля. 11 Я упрекнул сановников и спросил их:
– Почему оставлен дом Божий?
Затем я собрал их и расставил по местам. 12 Тогда весь народ Иудеи принес в хранилища десятины зерна, молодого вина и масла. 13 Я вверил хранилища заботам священника Шелемии, книжника Цадока и левита по имени Педая и дал им в помощники Ханана, сына Заккура, сына Маттании, потому что эти люди считались надежными. Им было поручено распределять запасы между их собратьями.
14 Вспомни меня за это, Боже мой, и не изгладь моих благих дел, которые я сделал для дома моего Бога и для его служб.
Возобновление соблюдения субботы
15 В те дни я увидел в Иудее людей, которые топтали виноград в давильнях в субботу, завозили снопы с зерном и грузили их на ослов вместе с вином, виноградом, инжиром и всяким другим грузом. И все это они везли в Иерусалим в субботу. Поэтому я предостерег их, чтобы в этот день они не торговали едой. 16 Люди из Тира, которые жили в Иерусалиме, привозили рыбу и всякие виды товаров и продавали их в Иерусалиме в субботу народу Иудеи. 17 Я упрекнул знать Иудеи и сказал им:
– Что за злое дело вы делаете, оскверняя субботний день? 18 Разве не то же самое делали ваши отцы, и наш Бог навел на нас и на этот город всю эту беду? А вы сейчас, оскверняя субботу, разжигаете против Израиля еще больший гнев.
19 Когда перед субботой у ворот Иерусалима начали опускаться сумерки, я приказал запереть двери и не открывать их, пока не пройдет суббота. Я поставил у ворот несколько человек из своих слуг, чтобы в субботу нельзя было внести никакого груза. 20 Один или два раза купцы и торговцы всякого рода товаром ночевали вне Иерусалима. 21 Но я предостерег их и сказал:
– Зачем вы ночуете у стены? Если вы сделаете это еще раз, я применю против вас силу.
И с того времени они уже не приходили в субботу. 22 Затем я велел левитам очиститься и пойти стеречь ворота, чтобы сохранить субботний день святым.
Вспомни меня и за это, Бог мой, и помилуй меня по величию Твоей милости.
Запрет на смешанные браки
23 Более того, в те дни я видел иудеев, которые женились на женщинах из Ашдода, Аммона и Моава. 24 Половина их детей говорила на языке Ашдода или на языке какого-нибудь из прочих народов и не умела говорить по-еврейски. 25 Я упрекал их и призывал на них проклятия. Я бил некоторых из них и таскал за волосы. Я заставил их поклясться Божьим именем и сказал:
– Вы не должны отдавать своих дочерей замуж за сыновей других народов и не должны брать их дочерей в жены своим сыновьям или самим себе. 26 Не из-за таких ли вот браков впал в грех царь Израиля Соломон? У многих народов не было царя, подобного ему. Его любил Бог и сделал его царем над всем Израилем, но даже его ввели в грех чужеземные жены. 27 Должны ли мы теперь слышать, что и вы совершаете все это страшное зло и нарушаете верность нашему Богу, женясь на чужеземках?
28 Один из сыновей Иодая, сына первосвященника Элиашива, был зятем хоронитянина Санбаллата. Я прогнал его от себя.
29 Вспомни их, Боже мой, ведь они осквернили священство и завет священства и левитов.
30 Так я очистил их от всего иноземного и установил обязанности священникам и левитам, каждому – свое дело. 31 А еще я позаботился о поставке дров в назначенные сроки и о первых плодах.
Вспомни меня, Бог мой, мне во благо.

Nehemiah’s Final Reforms
13 On that day the Book of Moses was read aloud in the hearing of the people and there it was found written that no Ammonite or Moabite should ever be admitted into the assembly of God,(A) 2 because they had not met the Israelites with food and water but had hired Balaam(B) to call a curse down on them.(C) (Our God, however, turned the curse into a blessing.)(D) 3 When the people heard this law, they excluded from Israel all who were of foreign descent.(E)
4 Before this, Eliashib the priest had been put in charge of the storerooms(F) of the house of our God. He was closely associated with Tobiah,(G) 5 and he had provided him with a large room formerly used to store the grain offerings and incense and temple articles, and also the tithes(H) of grain, new wine and olive oil prescribed for the Levites, musicians and gatekeepers, as well as the contributions for the priests.
6 But while all this was going on, I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes(I) king of Babylon I had returned to the king. Some time later I asked his permission 7 and came back to Jerusalem. Here I learned about the evil thing Eliashib(J) had done in providing Tobiah(K) a room in the courts of the house of God. 8 I was greatly displeased and threw all Tobiah’s household goods out of the room.(L) 9 I gave orders to purify the rooms,(M) and then I put back into them the equipment of the house of God, with the grain offerings and the incense.(N)
10 I also learned that the portions assigned to the Levites had not been given to them,(O) and that all the Levites and musicians responsible for the service had gone back to their own fields.(P) 11 So I rebuked the officials and asked them, “Why is the house of God neglected?”(Q) Then I called them together and stationed them at their posts.
12 All Judah brought the tithes(R) of grain, new wine and olive oil into the storerooms.(S) 13 I put Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and a Levite named Pedaiah in charge of the storerooms and made Hanan son of Zakkur, the son of Mattaniah, their assistant, because they were considered trustworthy. They were made responsible for distributing the supplies to their fellow Levites.(T)
14 Remember(U) me for this, my God, and do not blot out what I have so faithfully done for the house of my God and its services.
15 In those days I saw people in Judah treading winepresses on the Sabbath and bringing in grain and loading it on donkeys, together with wine, grapes, figs and all other kinds of loads. And they were bringing all this into Jerusalem on the Sabbath.(V) Therefore I warned them against selling food on that day. 16 People from Tyre who lived in Jerusalem were bringing in fish and all kinds of merchandise and selling them in Jerusalem on the Sabbath(W) to the people of Judah. 17 I rebuked the nobles of Judah and said to them, “What is this wicked thing you are doing—desecrating the Sabbath day? 18 Didn’t your ancestors do the same things, so that our God brought all this calamity on us and on this city?(X) Now you are stirring up more wrath against Israel by desecrating the Sabbath.”(Y)
19 When evening shadows fell on the gates of Jerusalem before the Sabbath,(Z) I ordered the doors to be shut and not opened until the Sabbath was over. I stationed some of my own men at the gates so that no load could be brought in on the Sabbath day. 20 Once or twice the merchants and sellers of all kinds of goods spent the night outside Jerusalem. 21 But I warned them and said, “Why do you spend the night by the wall? If you do this again, I will arrest you.” From that time on they no longer came on the Sabbath. 22 Then I commanded the Levites to purify themselves and go and guard the gates in order to keep the Sabbath day holy.
Remember(AA) me for this also, my God, and show mercy to me according to your great love.
23 Moreover, in those days I saw men of Judah who had married(AB) women from Ashdod, Ammon and Moab.(AC) 24 Half of their children spoke the language of Ashdod or the language of one of the other peoples, and did not know how to speak the language(AD) of Judah. 25 I rebuked them and called curses down on them. I beat some of the men and pulled out their hair. I made them take an oath(AE) in God’s name and said: “You are not to give your daughters in marriage to their sons, nor are you to take their daughters in marriage for your sons or for yourselves.(AF) 26 Was it not because of marriages like these that Solomon king of Israel sinned? Among the many nations there was no king like him.(AG) He was loved by his God,(AH) and God made him king over all Israel, but even he was led into sin by foreign women.(AI) 27 Must we hear now that you too are doing all this terrible wickedness and are being unfaithful to our God by marrying(AJ) foreign women?”
28 One of the sons of Joiada son of Eliashib(AK) the high priest was son-in-law to Sanballat(AL) the Horonite. And I drove him away from me.
29 Remember(AM) them, my God, because they defiled the priestly office and the covenant of the priesthood and of the Levites.(AN)
30 So I purified the priests and the Levites of everything foreign,(AO) and assigned them duties, each to his own task. 31 I also made provision for contributions of wood(AP) at designated times, and for the firstfruits.(AQ)
Remember(AR) me with favor, my God.

Principles of Separation(A)
13 On that day (B)they read from the Book of Moses in the hearing of the people, and in it was found written (C)that no Ammonite or Moabite should ever come into the assembly of God, 2 because they had not met the children of Israel with bread and water, but (D)hired Balaam against them to curse them. (E)However, our God turned the curse into a blessing. 3 So it was, when they had heard the Law, (F)that they separated all the mixed multitude from Israel.
The Reforms of Nehemiah
4 Now before this, (G)Eliashib the priest, having authority over the storerooms of the house of our God, was allied with (H)Tobiah. 5 And he had prepared for him a large room, (I)where previously they had stored the grain offerings, the frankincense, the articles, the tithes of grain, the new wine and oil, (J)which were commanded to be given to the Levites and singers and gatekeepers, and the offerings for the priests. 6 But during all this I was not in Jerusalem, (K)for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I had returned to the king. Then after certain days I obtained leave from the king, 7 and I came to Jerusalem and discovered the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in (L)preparing a room for him in the courts of the [a]house of God. 8 And it grieved me bitterly; therefore I threw all the household goods of Tobiah out of the room. 9 Then I commanded them to (M)cleanse the rooms; and I brought back into them the articles of the house of God, with the grain offering and the frankincense.
10 I also realized that the portions for the Levites had (N)not been given them; for each of the Levites and the singers who did the work had gone back to (O)his field. 11 So (P)I contended with the rulers, and said, (Q)“Why is the house of God forsaken?” And I gathered them together and set them in their place. 12 (R)Then all Judah brought the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil to the storehouse. 13 (S)And I appointed as treasurers over the storehouse 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 considered (T)faithful, and their task was to distribute to their brethren.
14 (U)Remember me, O 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 services!
15 In those days I saw people in Judah treading winepresses (V)on the Sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys with wine, grapes, figs, and all kinds of burdens, (W)which they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. And I warned them about the day on which they were selling provisions. 16 Men of Tyre dwelt there also, who brought in fish and all kinds of goods, and sold them on the Sabbath to the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
17 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said to them, “What evil thing is this that you do, by which you profane the Sabbath day? 18 (X)Did not your fathers do thus, and did not our God bring all this disaster on us and on this city? Yet you bring added wrath on Israel by profaning the Sabbath.”
19 So it was, at the gates of Jerusalem, as it (Y)began to be dark before the Sabbath, that I commanded the gates to be shut, and charged that they must not be opened till after the Sabbath. (Z)Then I posted some of my servants at the gates, so that no burdens would be brought in on the Sabbath day. 20 Now the merchants and sellers of all kinds of [b]wares [c]lodged outside Jerusalem once or twice.
21 Then I warned them, and said to them, “Why do you spend the night [d]around the wall? If you do so again, I will lay hands on you!” From that time on they came no more on the Sabbath. 22 And I commanded the Levites that (AA)they should cleanse themselves, and that they should go and guard the gates, to sanctify the Sabbath day.
Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of Your mercy!
23 In those days I also saw Jews who (AB)had married women of (AC)Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab. 24 And half of their children spoke the language of Ashdod, and could not speak the language of Judah, but spoke according to the language of one or the other people.
25 So I (AD)contended with them and [e]cursed them, struck some of them and pulled out their hair, and made them (AE)swear by God, saying, “You shall not give your daughters as wives to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons or yourselves. 26 (AF)Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among many nations there was no king like him, (AG)who was beloved of his God; and God made him king over all Israel. (AH)Nevertheless pagan women caused even him to sin. 27 Should we then hear of your doing all this great evil, (AI)transgressing against our God by marrying pagan women?”
28 And one of the sons (AJ)of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was a son-in-law of (AK)Sanballat the Horonite; therefore I drove him from me.
29 (AL)Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood and (AM)the covenant of the priesthood and the Levites.
30 (AN)Thus I cleansed them of everything pagan. I also (AO)assigned duties to the priests and the Levites, each to his service, 31 and to bringing (AP)the wood offering and the firstfruits at appointed times.
(AQ)Remember me, O my God, for good!
