Nihemaia 5

1 Fa: no, eso afaega, dunu amola uda bagohame da ilia Yu na: iyado dunu ilima ougili fofada: su.

Then there arose a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren 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 that said: 'We, our sons and our daughters, are many; let us get for them corn, that we may eat and live.'

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.”

Some also there were that said: 'We are mortgaging our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses; let us get corn, because of the dearth.'

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.

There were also that said: 'We have borrowed money for the king's tribute upon our fields and our vineyards.

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.”

Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children; and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought into bondage already; neither is it in our power to help it; for other men have our fields and our vineyards.'

6 Na da ilia sia: gesu nababeba: le, ougi bagade ba: i.

And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.

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.

Then I consulted with myself, and contended with the nobles and the rulers, and said unto them: 'Ye lend upon pledge, every one to his brother.' And I held a great assembly against them.

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 unto them: 'We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, that sold themselves unto the heathen; and would ye nevertheless sell your brethren, and should they sell themselves unto us?' Then held they their peace, and found never 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.

Also I said: 'The thing that ye do is not good; ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God, because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?

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.

And I likewise, my brethren and my servants, have lent them money and corn. I pray you, let us leave off this exaction.

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.

Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundred pieces of silver, and the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of 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 said they: 'We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do, even as thou sayest.' Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise.

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.

Also I shook out my lap, and said: 'So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise; even thus be he shaken out, and emptied.' And all the congregation said: 'Amen', and praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise.

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.

Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor.

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 the former governors that were before me laid burdens upon the people, and took of them for bread and wine above forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants lorded over the people; but so did not I, 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.

Yea, also I set hand to the work of this wall, neither bought we any land; and all my servants were gathered thither unto 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.

Moreover there were at my table of the Jews and the rulers a hundred and fifty men, beside those that came unto us from among the nations that were 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 that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep, also fowls were prepared for me; and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine; yet for all this I demanded not the bread of the governor, because the service was heavy upon this people.

19 Gode! Na da dima sia: ne gadosa. Na da dunu huluane fidima: ne hawa: hamosu amo mae gogolema. Amola nama hahawane ima.

Remember unto me, O my God, for good, all that I have done for this people.
