Nehemiah 5
1 Then there arose a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brothers the Jews.
To, sai maza da matansu suka tā da fara gunaguni mai tsanani a kan’yan’uwansu Yahudawa.
2 For there were that said, "We, our sons and our daughters, are many. Let us get grain, that we may eat and live."
Waɗansu suka ce, “Mu da’ya’yanmu maza da mata muna da yawa, muna bukatar hatsi domin mu ci mu rayu.”
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."
Waɗansu kuwa suka ce, “Saboda yunwa mun jinginar da gonakinmu, da gonakin inabinmu, da gidajenmu don mu sami hatsi.”
4 There were also some who said, "We have borrowed money for the king's tribute using our fields and our vineyards as collateral.
Har illa yau waɗansu suka ce, “Mun ci bashin kuɗi don mu biya haraji a kan gonakinmu, da gonakin inabinmu.
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."
Ga shi kuwa, mu da su dangin juna ne,’ya’yanmu da nasu kuma ɗaya ne, duk da haka an tilasta mu mu sa’ya’yanmu mata da maza su zama bayi. Har ma an riga an bautar waɗansu daga cikin’ya’yanmu mata, amma ba mu da iko mu ce kome, domin gonakinmu da gonakin inabinmu suna a hannun waɗansu mutane.”
6 I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.
Sa’ad da na ji kukansu da waɗannan koke-koke, na husata ƙwarai.
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.
Na yi tunaninsu a zuciyata sa’an nan na zargi manyan gari da shugabanni. Na ce musu, “Kuna musguna wa’yan’uwanku ta wurin ba su rance da ruwa!” Saboda haka na kira babban taro gaba ɗaya don a magance wannan.
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.
Na ce, “Da dukan iyakar ƙoƙarinmu, mun fanshi’yan’uwanmu Yahudawan da aka sayar wa Al’ummai. Amma ga shi kuna sayar da’yan’uwanku ga Al’ummai, don kawai a sāke sayar mana da su!”
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?
Saboda haka na ci gaba na ce, “Abin da kuke yi a yanzu ba daidai ba ne. Bai kamata ku yi tafiya cikin tsoron Allahnmu don mu guji ba’ar Al’ummai abokan gābanmu ba?
10 I likewise, my brothers and my servants, lend them money and grain. Please let us stop this usury.
Ni ma da’yan’uwana da kuma mutanena muna ba wa mutane bashin kuɗi da kuma hatsi. Sai mu daina sha’anin ba da rance da ruwa!
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."
Yau sai ku mayar musu da gonakinsu, da gonakin inabinsu, da na zaitunsu, da gidajensu, da kashi ɗaya bisa ɗari na kuɗi, da na hatsi, da na ruwan inabi, da na mai, waɗanda kuka karɓa a wurinsu.”
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 cohanim, and took an oath of them, that they would do according to this promise.
Suka ce, “Za mu mayar musu, kuma ba za mu bukaci wani abu daga gare su ba. Za mu yi yadda ka faɗa.” Sai na tattara firistoci na kuma sa manyan gari da shugabanni su yi rantsuwa don su yi abin da suka yi alkawari.
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.
Na kuma kakkaɓe hannuna, na ce, “Duk wanda ya karya wannan alkawari, haka Allah zai kakkaɓe shi daga gidansa da aikinsa. Allah zai kakkaɓe shi, yă wofintar da shi!” Da jin wannan, sai dukan taron suka ce, “Amin,” suka kuma yabi Ubangiji. Mutane kuwa suka yi kamar yadda suka yi alkawari.
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.
Ban da haka ma, daga shekara ta ashirin ta Sarki Artazerzes, sa’ad da aka naɗa ni in zama gwamnansu a ƙasar Yahuda, har zuwa shekara ta talatin da biyu na mulkinsa, shekara sha biyu ke nan, ko ni, ko’yan’uwana, ba wanda ya ci abincin da akan ba wa gwamna.
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.
Amma gwamnonin farko, waɗanda suka riga ni, sun ɗaura wa mutane kaya mai nauyi suka karɓi shekel arba’in na azurfa daga gare su haɗe da abinci da kuma ruwan inabi. Har bayin masu mulki ma sun nawaya wa mutane. Amma ni ban yi haka ba, saboda ina tsoron Allah.
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.
A maimakon haka, na miƙa kaina ga aiki a kan wannan katanga. Na tattara dukan mutanena a can don aikin; ba mu samar wa kanmu wata gona ba.
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.
Bugu da ƙari, Yahudawa da shugabanni ɗari da hamsin suna ci daga teburina, haka ma waɗanda suka zo wurinmu daga ƙasashen da suke kewaye.
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.
Kowace rana akan shirya mini saniya ɗaya, zaɓaɓɓun tumaki shida da waɗansu kaji, kuma kowace kwana goma akan tanadar da ruwan inabi na kowane iri a yalwace. Duk da haka, ban taɓa nemi a ba ni abincin da akan ba wa gwamna ba, domin wahala ta yi wa jama’a yawa.
19 Remember to me, my God, for good, all that I have done for this people.
Ka tuna da ni, ka yi mini alheri, ya Allah, saboda dukan abubuwan da na yi saboda waɗannan mutane.
