Nehemiah 5
1 Then there arose a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brothers the Jews.
Ket inyikkis dagiti lallaki ken dagiti assawada ti reklamoda kadagiti padada a Judio.
2 For there were that said, "We, our sons and our daughters, are many. Let us get grain, that we may eat and live."
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 Some also there were that said, "We are mortgaging our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses. Let us get grain, because of 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 some who said, "We have borrowed money for the king's tribute using our fields and our vineyards as collateral.
Kinuna pay dagiti dadduma, “Bimmulodkami iti kuarta nga ibayadmi iti ari a para iti buis dagiti talon ken dagiti kaubasanmi.
5 Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brothers, our children as their children. Look, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters have been brought into bondage. Neither is it in our power to help it; for other men have our fields and our vineyards."
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 I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.
Kasta unay ti ungetko idi nangngegko ti ikkisda ken dagitoy a sasao.
7 Then I consulted with myself, and contended with the nobles and the rulers, and said to them, "You exact usury, everyone of his brother." I held a great assembly 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 I said to them, "We, after our ability, have redeemed our brothers the Jews that were sold to the nations; and would you even sell your brothers, and should they be sold to us?" Then they held their peace, and found never a word.
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 Also I said, "The thing that you do is not good. Ought you not to walk in the fear of our God, to prevent the taunts of the nations 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 I likewise, my brothers and my servants, lend them money and grain. Please let us stop this usury.
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 Please restore to them, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, that you are charging 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 they said, "We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do, even as you say." Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they would do 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 Also I shook out my lap, and said, "So may God shake out every man from his house, and from his labor, that doesn't perform this promise; even thus be he shaken out, and emptied." All the assembly said, "Amen," and praised the LORD. 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 Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even to the two and thirtieth year of Artachshasta the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brothers have not eaten the bread of the governor.
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 But the former governors who were before me were supported by the people, and took bread and wine from them, besides forty shekels of silver; yes, even their servants ruled over the people: but I did not do so, because of the fear 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 Yes, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered there to the work.
Intuloyko pay ti nagtrabaho iti pader, ket awan ti ginatangmi a daga. Ket naguummong sadiay dagiti amin nga adipenko tapno agtrabaho.
17 Moreover there were at my table, of the Jews and the rulers, one hundred fifty men, besides those who came to us from among the nations that were around us.
Kalanglangko a mangan iti lamisaak dagiti 150 a lallaki a Judio ken opisial, malaksid kadagiti immay kadakami manipud kadagiti nasion iti aglawlawmi.
18 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 did not demand the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy on 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 to me, my God, for good, all that I have done for this people.
Lagipennak, O Diosko, iti kinaimbag, gapu kadagiti amin nga inaramidko para kadagitoy a tattao.
