Nehemiah 5
1 Then came there to be a great outcry of the people and their wives, —against their brethren the Jews.
To, sai maza da matansu suka tā da fara gunaguni mai tsanani a kan’yan’uwansu Yahudawa.
2 And there were some who were saying, Our sons and our daughters, are we pledging, —that we may obtain corn, and eat, and keep ourselves alive.
Waɗansu suka ce, “Mu da’ya’yanmu maza da mata muna da yawa, muna bukatar hatsi domin mu ci mu rayu.”
3 And there were some who were saying, Our fields and our vineyards and our houses, are we pledging, —that we may obtain corn in the dearth.
Waɗansu kuwa suka ce, “Saboda yunwa mun jinginar da gonakinmu, da gonakin inabinmu, da gidajenmu don mu sami hatsi.”
4 And there were others who were saying, We have borrowed silver, for the king’s tribute, —[upon] our lands and our vineyards.
Har illa yau waɗansu suka ce, “Mun ci bashin kuɗi don mu biya haraji a kan gonakinmu, da gonakin inabinmu.
5 Now, therefore, as is the flesh of our brethren, so is our flesh, as are their children, so are our children. Yet lo! we are putting in subjection our sons and our daughters, for bondservants, yea there are some of our daughters already trodden down, and we are powerless, and, our fields and our vineyards, belong to others.
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 And it angered me greatly, —when I heard their outcry, and these words.
Sa’ad da na ji kukansu da waɗannan koke-koke, na husata ƙwarai.
7 So my heart took counsel unto me and I contended with the nobles and with the deputies, and said to them, A loan on interest—every man to his brother, are ye making, —So I appointed over them a great assembly;
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 and I said unto them, We, have bought our brethren the Jews, who had sold themselves unto the nations, according to our ability, and will, ye, even sell your brethren, or shall they sell themselves unto us? And they were silent, and found no answer.
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 Then said I, Not good, is the thing which ye are doing, —ought ye not, in the fear of God, to walk, because of the reproach 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 too, then, my brethren and my young men, might be lending unto them on interest silver and corn! I pray you, let us leave off this lending on interest!
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 Restore, I pray you, unto them this very day, their fields, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, —also the hundredth of silver and corn, new wine and oil, for which ye have been lending to 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 And they said, We will restore them, and, from them, will we require nothing, so, will we do, as thou, art saying. Then called I the priests, and put them on oath, to 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, my lap, shook I out, and said—Thus and thus, may God shake out every man who shall not confirm this promise, out of his house and out of his labour, yea, thus and thus, let him be shaken out and empty, —And all the convocation said, Amen! and praised Yahweh, and 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 day I was commanded to become their pasha in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year, even unto the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes the king, twelve years, I and my brethren, pasha’s bread, have not eaten;
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 whereas, the former pashas, who were before me, suffered themselves to be a burden upon the people, and took from them in bread and wine, besides forty shekels of silver, even, their young men, bare rule over the people, —but, I, did not 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 Moreover also, in this work of the wall, I repaired, and, no field, did we buy, —though, all my young men, were gathered thither unto 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 And, Jews and deputies, a hundred and fifty men, and they who were coming in unto us from among the nations which were round about us, [depended] upon my table.
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 a single day, was—one ox, six choice sheep, also, fowls, were prepared for me, and, apportioned unto ten days, of every sort of wine, in abundance, —yet, in spite of this, the bread of the pasha, demanded I not, because heavy was the bondage upon 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 unto me, O 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.
