Nehemiah 5
1 Nowe there was a great crie of the people, and of their wiues against their brethren the Iewes.
Ket inyikkis dagiti lallaki ken dagiti assawada ti reklamoda kadagiti padada a Judio.
2 For there were that said, We, our sonnes and our daughters are many, therefore we take vp corne, that we may eate and liue.
Ta adda sumagmamano kadakuada a nangibaga, “Adukami agraman dagiti annakmi a lallaki ken babbai. Isu a makaalakami koma iti trigo a kanenmi ket agbiagkami.”
3 And there were that saide, We must gage our landes, and our vineyardes, and our houses, and take vp corne for the famine.
Adda pay dadduma kadakuada a nangibaga, “Insaldami dagiti talonmi, dagiti kaubasanmi ken dagiti balaymi tapno makaalakami iti trigo kabayatan ti panagbisin.”
4 There were also that said, We haue borowed money for the Kings tribute vpon our landes and our vineyardes.
Kinuna pay dagiti dadduma, “Bimmulodkami iti kuarta nga ibayadmi iti ari a para iti buis dagiti talon ken dagiti kaubasanmi.
5 And nowe our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, and our sonnes as their sonnes: and lo, we bring into subiection our sonnes and our daughters, as seruants, and there be of our daughters nowe in subiection, and there is no power in our handes: for other men haue our landes and our vineyardes.
Ngem ita, ti lasag ken darami ket kas met laeng kadagiti kakabsatmi, ken dagiti annakmi ket kas met laeng kadagiti annakda. Mapilitankami a mangilako kadagiti annakmi nga agbalin a tagabu. Natagabun dagiti dadduma nga annakmi a babbai. Ngem awan ti kabaelanmi a tumulong kadakuada gapu ta sabalin a tattao ti akinkukua kadagiti talon ken kadagiti kaubasanmi.”
6 Then was I very angrie when I heard their crie and these wordes.
Kasta unay ti ungetko idi nangngegko ti ikkisda ken dagitoy a sasao.
7 And I thought in my minde, and I rebuked the princes, and the rulers, and saide vnto them, You lay burthens euery one vpon his brethren: and I set a great assemblie against them,
Pinanpanunotko ngarud daytoy, ket napanko binabalaw dagiti natakneng a tattao ken dagiti opisial. Kinunak kadakuada, “Agsingsingir ti tunggal maysa kadakayo iti interes iti bukodna a kabsat.” Nangangayak iti dakkel a taripnong a maibusor kadakuada
8 And I said vnto them, We (according to our abilitie) haue redeemed our brethren the Iewes, which were solde vnto the heathen: and will you sell your brethren againe, or shall they be solde vnto vs? Then helde they their peace, and could not answere.
ket kinunak kadakuada, “Datayo, agingga iti kabaelantayo ket sinubbottayo manipud iti pannakatagabu dagiti kakabsattayo a Judio a nailako kadagiti nasion, ngem inlakoyo dagiti kakabsatyo kadagiti padayo a Judio tapno ilakodanto met laeng ida kadatayo!” Nagulimekda ket awan a pulos ti nasaoda.
9 I said also, That which ye do, is not good. Ought ye not to walke in the feare of our God, for the reproche of the heathen our enemies?
Kinunak pay, “Saan a nasayaat ti ar-aramidenyo. Saan aya a rumbeng nga agbiagkayo nga addaan panagbuteng iti Dios tapno maliklikan ti panangumsi kadatayo dagiti kabusortayo a nasion?
10 For euen I, my brethren, and my seruants doe lende them money and corne: I pray you, let vs leaue off this burden.
Siak, dagiti kakabsatko ken dagiti adipenko, ket papautanganmi ida iti kuarta ken trigo. Ngem masapul nga isardengmin ti panagsingir iti interes kadagitoy nga utang.
11 Restore, I pray you, vnto them this day their landes, their vineyardes, their oliues, and their houses, and remit the hundreth part of the siluer and of the corne, of the wine, and of the oyle that ye exact of them.
Iti daytoy met la nga aldaw, isubliyon kadakuada dagiti talonda, dagiti kaubasanda, dagiti kaoliboanda, dagiti babbalayda ken ti porsiento ti kuartada, ti trigoda, ti baro nga arakda, ken ti lana a siningiryo kadakuada.”
12 Then said they, We will restore it, and will not require it of them: we will doe as thou hast said. Then I called the Priestes, and caused them to sweare, that they shoulde doe according to this promise.
Ket kinunada, “Isublimin dagiti innalami kadakuada, ken saanmi idan a singeren. Aramidenmi kas iti imbagam.” Inayabak ngarud dagiti papadi ket pinagsapatak ida a tungpalenda dagiti inkarida.
13 So I shooke my lappe, and said, So let God shake out euery man that wil not perfourme this promise from his house, and from his labour: euen thus let him be shaken out, and emptied. And all the Cogregation said, Amen, and praised the Lord: and the people did according to this promise.
Winagwagko ti kupin ti kagayko ket kinunak kadakuada, “Wagwagen koma ti Dios ti balay ken dagiti sanikuana ti tunggal tao a saan a mangtungpal iti karina. Mawagwag koma isuna ken awan mabati kenkuana. Kinuna dagiti amin nga adda iti taripnong, “Sapay koma ta kasta,” ket dinaydayawda ni Yahweh. Ket inaramid dagiti tattao kas iti inkarida.
14 And from the time that the King gaue me charge to be gouernour in the lande of Iudah, from the twentieth yeere, euen vnto the two and thirtieth yeere of King Artahshashte, that is, twelue yeere, I, and my brethren haue not eaten the bread of the gouernour.
Isu a manipud iti tiempo a nadutokanak a gobernadorda iti daga ti Juda, manipud iti maika-duapulo a tawen agingga iti maika-32 a tawen ni Artaxerxes nga ari, sangapulo ket dua a tawen a saanak a nangan wenno dagiti kakabsatko kadagiti taraon nga agpaay iti gobernador.
15 For the former gouernours that were before me, had bene chargeable vnto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, besides fourtie shekels of siluer: yea, and their seruants bare rule ouer the people: but so did not I, because of the feare of God.
Ngem pinadagsenan dagiti sigud a gobernador nga immun-una ngem siak dagiti tattao, inalaanda ida iti uppat a pulo a siklo a pirak nga agpaay iti inaldaw a taraon ken arakda. Uray dagiti adipenda ket pinarigatda dagiti tattao. Ngem saanko nga inaramid ti kasta gapu iti panagbutengko iti Dios.
16 But rather I fortified a portion in the worke of this wall, and we bought no lande, and all my seruants came thither together vnto the worke.
Intuloyko pay ti nagtrabaho iti pader, ket awan ti ginatangmi a daga. Ket naguummong sadiay dagiti amin nga adipenko tapno agtrabaho.
17 Moreouer there were at my table an hundreth and fiftie of the Iewes, and rulers, which came vnto vs from among the heathen that are about vs.
Kalanglangko a mangan iti lamisaak dagiti 150 a lallaki a Judio ken opisial, malaksid kadagiti immay kadakami manipud kadagiti nasion iti aglawlawmi.
18 And there was prepared daily an oxe, and sixe chosen sheepe, and birdes were prepared for me, and within ten dayes wine for all in abundance. Yet for all this I required not the bread of the gouernour: for the bondage was grieuous vnto this people.
Ita, inaldaw a maisagana ti maysa a kalakian a baka, innem a napili a karnero, ken kasta met dagiti bilit, ken kada sangapulo nga aldaw, nawadwad ti amin a kita ti arak. Ket nupay kasta, saanko nga innala ti abasto a taraon nga agpaay iti gobernador, gapu ta nadagsen unay kadagiti tattao ti masingsingir a buis.
19 Remember me, O my God, in goodnesse, according to all that I haue done for this people.
Lagipennak, O Diosko, iti kinaimbag, gapu kadagiti amin nga inaramidko para kadagitoy a tattao.
