Nihemaia 5
1 Fa: no, eso afaega, dunu amola uda bagohame da ilia Yu na: iyado dunu ilima ougili fofada: su.
Then there was a great outcry from the people and their wives against their countrymen the Jews.
2 Mogili da amane sia: i, “Ninia da sosogo fi bagade. Amaiba: le, ninima ha: i manu gagoma moma: ne imunu da defea.”
For there were some who said, We, our sons and our daughters, are a great number: let us get grain, so that we may have food for our needs.
3 Eno mogili da amane sia: i, “Ninia da ha: i mae nawene bogosa: besa: le, ninia ifabi, waini sagai amola gagoma bidi lama: ne, amoga ninia eno dunuma muni lai. Be amo muni lai fa: no dabema: ne iasu dabe hame iasea, ilia da ninia ifabi amola waini sagai huluane samogemu.”
And there were some who said, We are giving our fields and our vine-gardens and our houses for debt: let us get grain because we are in need.
4 Eno mogili da amane sia: i, “Ninia da eagene soge su (da: gisi) ima: ne muni hame gala. Amaiba: le, amo muni ima: ne, ninia da eno dunu amoga muni amo fa: no dabe ima: ne, ilima lai.
And there were others who said, We have given up our fields and our vine-gardens to get money for the king's taxes.
5 Ninia amola da Yu dunudafa. Ninia mano da eno Yu dunu ilia mano defele esala. Be ninia da muni hameba: le, ninia mano da udigili se dabe hawa: hamoma: ne, ninia da enoma bidi lasa. Ninia uda mano mogili amo ninia bidi lai dagoi. Ninia ifabi amola waini sagai da ilia samogeiba: le, ninia da gasa hame ba: sa.”
But our flesh is the same as the flesh of our countrymen, and our children as their children: and now we are giving our sons and daughters into the hands of others, to be their servants, and some of our daughters are servants even now: and we have no power to put a stop to it; for other men have our fields and our vine-gardens.
6 Na da ilia sia: gesu nababeba: le, ougi bagade ba: i.
And on hearing their outcry and what they said I was very angry.
7 Na da amo hou hahamomusa: ilegei. Na da dunu fi ouligisu hina dunu amola ouligisu dunu eno ilima gagabole sia: i, “Dilia da dilia diolalali amo banenesilala,” na amane sia: i. Na da dunu huluane amo hou sia: sa: imusa: gilisima: ne sia: i.
And after turning it over in my mind, I made a protest to the chiefs and the rulers, and said to them, Every one of you is taking interest from his countryman. And I got together a great meeting of protest.
8 Na da amane sia: i, “Musa: ninia olalali Yu fi da muni hameba: le, ilisu da ilia da: i hodo amo ga fi dunuma bidi lasu. Be ninia da wali ninia gasa defele, amo dunu bu bidilala. Be wali dilia ouligisu dunu da hame gagui dunu banenesibiba: le, dilia Yu yolalali da ilisu ga fi dunuma hame, be eno Yu dunuma ilia da: i hodo udigili se dabe hawa: hamoma: ne bidi lasa,” na amane gagabole sia: i. Yu ouligisu dunu ilia bu adole imunu gogoleiba: le, ouiya: i.
And I said to them, We have given whatever we were able to give, to make our brothers the Jews free, who were servants and prisoners of the nations: and would you now give up your brothers for a price, and are they to become our property? Then they said nothing, answering not a word.
9 Amalalu, na amane sia: i, “Dilia hou wali hamosu da wadela: i. Dilia Gode Ea sia: nabimu amola moloidafa hou hamomu da defea galu. Amasea, ninima ha lai Dienadaile dunu, ninima oufesega: ma: ne bai hame ba: mu galu.
And I said, What you are doing is not good: is it not the more necessary for you to go in the fear of our God, because of the shame which the nations may put on us?
10 Na da eno dunuma muni amola gagoma amo fa: no dabe bu hame lama: ne i dagoi. Amola na sama amola gilisili hawa: hamosu dunu da amo defele hamoi. Na hanai da ninia bu fa: no dabe lama: ne sia: su yolemu.
Even I and my servants have been taking interest for the money and the grain we have let them have. So now, let us give up this thing.
11 Ilia da dilima dabe imunu hou-amo muni o gagoma o waini o olife susuligi-amo huluane yolesima. Amola ilia liligi dabe dilia lai huluane ilima bu ima. Wahadafa amo ifabi, waini sagai, olife ifa sagai amola diasu huluane ilima bu ima,” na sia: i.
Give back to them this very day their fields, their vine-gardens, their olive-gardens, and their houses, as well as a hundredth part of the money and the grain and the wine and the oil which you have taken from them.
12 Ouligisu dunu ilia bu adole i, “Defea! Dia sia: ninia nabi dagoi. Ninia da liligi lai bu ianu, dabe lamu galea amo dabe hame lamu.” Na da gobele salasu dunu misa: ne sia: i. Amola gobele salasu dunu ba: ma: ne, ouligisu dunu da amo hou dafawane hamoma: ne, Hina Gode Ea Dio: ba: le ilegele sia: musa: , na da sia: i.
Then they said, We will give them back, and take nothing for them; we will do as you say. Then I sent for the priests and made them take an oath that they would keep this agreement.
13 Amalalu, na da abula beano fonobahadi buluyale idinigi amo fadegale fasili, duduli fasi. Na da amane sia: i, “Nowa dunu da ea dafawane waha sia: i liligi hame hamosea, Gode da amo defele duduli fasimu. Gode da dilia diasu amola dilia gagui liligi huluane samogele, dilia da da: i nabado agoane ba: mu,” na amane sia: i. Dunu huluane gilisili esalu da “Ama” sia: i amola Godema nodoi. Amola Yu ouligisu dunu da ilia dafawane ilegele sia: i defele hamosu.
And shaking out the folds of my robe, I said, So may God send out from his house and his work every man who does not keep this agreement; even so let him be sent out and made as nothing. And all the meeting of the people said, So be it, and gave praise to the Lord. And the people did as they had said.
14 Ode fagoyale gala, amo da Adasegesisi da Besia sogega hina bagade esalu ea ouligisu hou da ode 20 gidigi amo ode mui asili Adasegesisi ea ouligisu ode 32 gidigi, ode fagoyale amoga na da Yu sogega eagene ouligisudafa dunu esalu. Na amola na sosogo fi da ha: i manu amo eagene ouligisu ilima ilegei, amo manu da defea galu. Be ninia da hame nasu.
Now from the time when I was made ruler of the people in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year till the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes the king, for twelve years, I and my servants have never taken the food which was the right of the ruler.
15 Eagene ouligisu dunu musa: na mae aligili, ilia hou hamoiba: le, Yu dunu da da: i dioi bagade nabi. Ilia da Yu dunuma eso huluane silifa muni fage 40 agoane ilia ha: i manu amola waini lamusa: edegesu. Ilia hawa: hamosu dunu amola da Yu dunu banenisisu. Be na hou da hisu hamoi. Bai na da Godema nodone fa: no bobogei.
But earlier rulers who were before me made the people responsible for their upkeep, and took from them bread and wine at the rate of forty shekels of silver; and even their servants were lords over the people: but I did not do so, because of the fear of God.
16 Na da gagoi mugului amo bu gagomusa: fawane dawa: i galu. Na da soge lamu hame dawa: i galu. Na hawa: hamosu dunu amola da moilai gagoi fidi.
And I kept on with the work of this wall, and we got no land for ourselves: and all my servants were helping with the work.
17 Eso huluane, Yu dunu 150 amola ilia ouligisu dunu da na diasuga ha: i namasu. Amola, ninia na: iyado ga fi dunu bagohame da misini, na diasuga ha: i nasu.
And more than this, a hundred and fifty of the Jews and the rulers were guests at my table, in addition to those who came to us from the nations round about us.
18 Eso huluane, na da bulamagau afae, sibi noga: idafa gafeyale amola gagala bagohame gobele moma: ne iasu. Be na da dunu ilia da: i diomu amo dawa: beba: le, eagene muni nama ilegei amo hame lasu.
Now the food made ready for one day was one ox and six fat sheep, as well as fowls; and once in ten days a store of all sorts of wine: but all the same, I did not take the food to which the ruler had a right, because the people were crushed under a hard yoke.
19 Gode! Na da dima sia: ne gadosa. Na da dunu huluane fidima: ne hawa: hamosu amo mae gogolema. Amola nama hahawane ima.
Keep in mind, O my God, for my good, all I have done for this people.
