Nehemiah 5
1 Around this time some people and their wives started a tremendous argument with the other Jews.
Fa: no, eso afaega, dunu amola uda bagohame da ilia Yu na: iyado dunu ilima ougili fofada: su.
2 They were complaining, “Our families are so large we need more food so we can eat and live.”
Mogili da amane sia: i, “Ninia da sosogo fi bagade. Amaiba: le, ninima ha: i manu gagoma moma: ne imunu da defea.”
3 Others added, “We've had to mortgage our fields, our vineyards, and our homes to buy food 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 more said, “We've had to borrow money on our fields and vineyards to pay the king's tax.
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 Even though we are the same people as our creditors and though our children are the same as their children, yet we going to have to turn our sons and daughters into slaves. In fact some of our daughters have already been enslaved, but we can't do anything about it, because our fields and our vineyards are now owned by 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 I became very angry when I heard them protesting their grievances.
Na da ilia sia: gesu nababeba: le, ougi bagade ba: i.
7 I thought it over and then I went to argue with the nobles and officials, telling them, “You are charging your own brothers interest!” So I called a large meeting to deal with 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 There I told them, “We have done as much as we can to buy back our Jewish brothers who were sold to foreigners, but now you are selling your own brothers as slaves! Are you expecting to sell them back to us?” They kept quiet because they couldn't think of anything 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 “What you're doing isn't right,” I told them. “Don't you think you should respect our God so that enemy nations don't criticize us?
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 men have been have been lending the people money and food. Please, let's stop this business of charging interest!
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 Give them back right now their fields, vineyards, olive groves, and houses, along with the one percent interest on the money, grain, new wine, and olive oil that you have been charging 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 give it back,” they replied, “and we won't demand anything more from them. We'll do as you say.” So I summoned the priests and made the nobles and officials swear an oath that they'd 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 shook out the folds of my robe and said, “This is how my God will shake you out of your homes and out of your possessions if you don't keep your promise! If you don't, you'll be shaken out and end up with nothing!” Everyone there said, “Amen,” and praised the Lord. The people did what they'd 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 In addition to this, from the day King Artaxerxes appointed me as governor in the land of Judah, which was from his twentieth year until his thirty-second year, a total of twelve years, neither I nor my brothers ate the food which was allocated 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 But the governors before me had placed a heavy burden on the people, taking forty shekels of silver from them as well as food and wine. Their assistants also extorted the people. But because of my respect for God I didn't act like that.
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 I also made rebuilding the wall my top priority, and I assigned all my workers to help with that. We didn't acquire any land for ourselves.
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 I had 150 Jews and officials eating at my table, as well as visitors from nearby countries.
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 Every day I paid for one ox, six good sheep, and poultry. Every ten days I paid for a large supply of all kinds of wine. But I never demanded the governor's food allowance, because the people were already carrying a heavy burden.
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 Please remember me positively, my God, for all that I've 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.
