Nehemiah 5
1 About that time there was a great outcry from the people and their wives against their fellow Jews.
Fa: no, eso afaega, dunu amola uda bagohame da ilia Yu na: iyado dunu ilima ougili fofada: su.
2 Some were saying, “We and our sons and daughters are numerous. We must get grain in order to eat and stay alive.”
Mogili da amane sia: i, “Ninia da sosogo fi bagade. Amaiba: le, ninima ha: i manu gagoma moma: ne imunu da defea.”
3 Others were saying, “We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards, and our homes to get grain during the famine.”
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.”
4 Still others were saying, “We have borrowed money to pay the king’s tax on our fields and vineyards.
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.
5 We and our children are just like our countrymen and their children, yet we are subjecting our sons and daughters to slavery. Some of our daughters are already enslaved, but we are powerless to redeem them because our fields and vineyards belong to others.”
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.”
6 When I heard their outcry and these complaints, I became extremely angry,
Na da ilia sia: gesu nababeba: le, ougi bagade ba: i.
7 and after serious thought I rebuked the nobles and officials, saying, “You are exacting usury from your own brothers!” So I called a large assembly against them
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.
8 and said, “We have done our best to buy back our Jewish brothers who were sold to foreigners, but now you are selling your own brothers, that they may be sold back to us!” But they remained silent, for they could find nothing to say.
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.
9 So I continued, “What you are doing is not right. Shouldn’t you walk in the fear of our God to avoid the reproach of our foreign enemies?
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.
10 I, as well as my brothers and my servants, have been lending the people money and grain. Please, let us stop this usury.
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.
11 Please restore to them immediately their fields, vineyards, olive groves, and houses, along with the percentage of the money, grain, new wine, and oil that you have been assessing them.”
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.
12 “We will restore it,” they replied, “and will require nothing more from them. We will do as you say.” So I summoned the priests and required of the nobles and officials an oath that they would do what they had promised.
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.
13 I also shook out the folds of my robe and said, “May God likewise shake out of His house and possession every man who does not keep this promise. May such a man be shaken out and have nothing!” The whole assembly said, “Amen,” and they praised the LORD. And the people did as they had promised.
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.
14 Furthermore, from the day King Artaxerxes appointed me to be their governor in the land of Judah, from his twentieth year until his thirty-second year (twelve years total), neither I nor my brothers ate the food allotted to the governor.
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.
15 The governors before me had heavily burdened the people, taking from them bread and wine plus forty shekels of silver. Their servants also oppressed the people, but I did not do this because of my fear of God.
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.
16 Instead, I devoted myself to the construction of the wall, and all my servants were gathered there for the work; we did not acquire any land.
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.
17 There were 150 Jews and officials at my table, besides the guests from the surrounding nations.
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.
18 Each day one ox, six choice sheep, and some fowl were prepared for me, and once every ten days an abundance of all kinds of wine was provided. But I did not demand the food allotted to the governor, because the burden on the people was so heavy.
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.
19 Remember me favorably, O my God, for all that I have done for this people.
Gode! Na da dima sia: ne gadosa. Na da dunu huluane fidima: ne hawa: hamosu amo mae gogolema. Amola nama hahawane ima.
