절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Foreigners Are Sent Away On that day when the Law of Moses was read aloud to everyone, it was discovered that Ammonites and Moabites were forbidden to belong to the people of God.	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;
2	This was because they had refused to give food and water to Israel and had hired Balaam to call down a curse on them. However, our God turned the curse into a blessing.	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.
3	Following the reading of the Law of Moses, the people of Israel started sending away anyone who had any foreign ancestors.	Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.
4	Nehemiah Makes Other Changes The priest Eliashib was a relative of Tobiah and had earlier been put in charge of the temple storerooms.	And before this, Eliashib the priest, having the oversight of the chamber of the house of our God, was allied unto Tobiah:
5	So he let Tobiah live in one of these rooms, where all kinds of things had been stored—the grain offerings, incense, utensils for the temple, as well as the tenth of the grain, wine, and olive oil that had been given for the use of the Levites, singers, and temple guards, and the gifts for the priests.	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.
6	This happened in the thirty-second year that Artaxerxes ruled Babylonia. I was away from Jerusalem at the time, because I was visiting him. Later I received permission from the king	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:
7	to return to Jerusalem. Only then did I find out that Eliashib had done this terrible thing of letting Tobiah have a room in the temple.	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.
8	It upset me so much that I threw out every bit of Tobiah's furniture.	And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber.
9	Then I ordered the room to be cleaned and the temple utensils, the grain offerings, and the incense to be brought back into the room.	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.
10	I also found out that the temple singers and several other Levites had returned to work on their farms, because they had not been given their share of the harvest.	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.
11	I called the leaders together and angrily asked them, “Why is the temple neglected?” Then I told them to start doing their jobs.	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.
12	After this, everyone in Judah brought a tenth of their grain, wine, and olive oil to the temple storeroom.	Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries.
13	Finally, I appointed three men with good reputations to be in charge of what was brought there and to distribute it to the others. They were Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the teacher of the Law, and Pedaiah the Levite. Their assistant was Hanan, the son of Zaccur and the grandson of Mattaniah.	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.
14	I pray that my God will remember these good things that I have done for his temple and for those who worship there.	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.
15	The Sabbath I also noticed what the people of Judah were doing on the Sabbath. Not only were they trampling grapes to make wine, but they were harvesting their grain, grapes, figs, and other crops, and then loading these on donkeys to sell in Jerusalem. So I warned them not to sell food on the Sabbath.	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.
16	People who had moved to Jerusalem from the city of Tyre were bringing in fish and other things to sell there on the Sabbath.	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.
17	I got angry and said to the leaders of Judah, “This evil you are doing is an insult to the Sabbath!	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?
18	Didn't God punish us and this city because our ancestors did these very same things? And here you are, about to make God furious again by disgracing the Sabbath!”	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.
19	I ordered the gates of Jerusalem to be closed on the eve of the Sabbath and not to be opened until after the Sabbath had ended. Then I put some of my own men in charge of the gates to make certain that nothing was brought in on the Sabbath.	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.
20	Once or twice some merchants spent the night outside Jerusalem with their goods.	So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice.
21	But I warned them, “If you do this again, I'll have you arrested.” From then on, they did not come on the Sabbath.	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.
22	I ordered the Levites to make themselves holy and to guard the gates on the Sabbath, so that it would be kept holy. God is truly merciful, and I pray that he will treat me with kindness and bless me for doing this.	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.
23	Mixed Marriages I discovered that some Jewish men had married women from Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab.	In those days also saw I Jews that had married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab:
24	About half of their children could not speak Hebrew—they spoke only the language of Ashdod or some other foreign language.	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.
25	So in my anger, I called down curses on those men. I had them beaten and even pulled out the hair of some of them. Then I made them promise: In the name of God we solemnly promise not to let our sons and daughters marry foreigners.	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.
26	God dearly loved King Solomon of Israel and made him the greatest king on earth, but Solomon's foreign wives led him into sin.	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.
27	So we will obey you and not rebel against our God by marrying foreign women.	Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?
28	Jehoiada, the son of the high priest Eliashib, had a son who had married a daughter of Sanballat from Horon, and I forced his son to leave.	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.
29	I pray that God will punish them for breaking their priestly vows and disgracing the Levi tribe.	Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.
30	Then I made sure that the people were free from every foreign influence, and I assigned duties for the priests and Levites.	Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, and appointed the wards of the priests and the Levites, every one in his business;
31	I also arranged for the people to bring firewood to the altar each day and for them to bring the first part of their harvest to the temple. I pray that God will bless me for the good I have done.	And for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.
