Nehemiah 5
1 And it was cry of distress of the people and wives their great against countrymen their the Jews.
To naah kaminawk hoi a zunawk loe angmacae Judah nawkamyanawk to laisaep o thuih.
2 And there [were those] who [were] saying sons our and daughters our we [are] many and let us get grain so we may eat and we may live.
Thoemto kaminawk mah, Kaicae loe canu hoi capa ka tawnh o mangh; to pongah ka caak o moe, ka hing o thai hanah, cang phawh han angaih, tiah a thuih o.
3 And there [were those] who [were] saying fields our and vineyards our and houses our we [are] mortgaging and we will get grain in the famine.
Thoemto kaminawk mah, Khokha pongah, cang qan hanah laikok, takha hoi imnawk to ka pawng o boeh, tiah thuih o.
4 And there [were those] who [were] saying we have borrowed money for [the] tribute of the king fields our and vineyards our.
Thoemto kaminawk mah loe, Lawk hoi misur takha nuiah siangpahrang mah kok ih tamut to paek hanah phoisa coi han angai boeh.
5 And now [is] like [the] flesh of countrymen our flesh our [are] like children their children our and there! we [are] bringing into bondage sons our and daughters our to slaves and there [are] some of daughters our being brought into bondage and there not [is] to [the] power of hand our and fields our and vineyards our [belong] to others.
Vaihi kaicae ih ngan loe kaimacae nawkamyanawk ih ngan baktiah oh moe, kaicae ih caanawk doeh nihcae ih caanawk baktiah ni oh o; khenah, kaicae ih capa hoi canunawk loe tamna ah angcoeng hanah ka sak o boeh, thoemto aicae ih canunawk doeh misong ah hoih o boeh; kaicae ih lawk hoi misur takhanawk loe minawk kalah ban ah oh ving boeh pongah, misong ah kaom kaicae ih canunawk doeh ka krang o thai ai boeh, tiah a thuih o.
6 And it burned to me exceedingly when I heard outcry their and the words these.
Nihcae laisaephaih hoi hae baktih loknawk to ka thaih naah, paroeai palung ka phui.
7 And it considered heart my with me and I contended! with the nobles and with the officials and I said! to them usury each on brother his you ([are] lending *Q(K)*) and I made on them an assembly great.
To naah ka poek moe, angraengnawk hoi ukkungnawk to ka kawk, Nihcae khaeah, nam nawkamyanawk nuiah acaa kamtlai hmoek ah phoisa na caak o, tiah ka zoeh pacoengah, to kawng thuih hanah kaminawk to kam kuengsak.
8 And I said! to them we we have bought countrymen our the Jews who sold themselves to the nations according to [the] sufficiency in us and also you you sold countrymen your and they were sold to us and they were silent and not they found a word.
Kai mah nihcae khaeah, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk khaeah zawh ih aicae nawkamya Judahnawk to angcoeng thaih thung akrang hanah ka zom o; toe nam nawkamyanawk to kaicae mah akrang pae tih hmang, tiah poek pongah kapop aep ah na zawh o let han vop maw? To tih ai boeh loe nihcae to aimacae acaeng khaeah na zawh o let han maw? tiah ka naa. To naah nihcae mah lok pathim o ai, anghngai o duem.
9 (And I said *Q(K)*) not [is] good the thing which you [are] doing ¿ not in [the] fear of God our are you walking from [the] reproach of the nations enemies our.
Kai mah, Na sak o ih hmuen hae hoih ai; Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah aicae kasae thuih han ai ah, aicae Angraeng Sithaw zithaih palungthin hoiah khosak han om ai maw?
10 And also I brothers my and servants my [are] lending to them money and grain let us abandon please the usury this.
Kam nawkamyanawk hoi ka tamnanawk mah doeh, minawk hanah phoisa hoi canghum to coisak toeng, toe a caa to kamtlai hmoek ah la o hmah si.
11 Return please to them as this day fields their vineyards their olive trees their and houses their and [the] hundred of the money and the grain the new wine and the fresh oil which you [are] lending to them.
Vaihni roe ah, lawknawk, misur takhanawk, olive takhanawk, imnawk to paek o let ah, to pacoengah kamtlai hmoek ah a caa kangpung cumvaito ah na lak o ih phoisa, canghum, misurtui, thingthai hoi situinawk doeh paek o let ah, tiah ka naa.
12 And they said we will return [it] and from them not we will require [it] so we will do just as you [are] saying and I summoned the priests and I made swear an oath them to do according to the manner this.
Nihcae mah, Ka paek o let han hmang, tidoeh ka hni o mak ai boeh; na thuih ih lok baktih toengah ka sak o han, tiah thuih o. To naah a thuih o ih lok baktih toengah sak o hanah, qaimanawk to ka kawk moe, lokkamhaih ka saksak.
13 Also bosom my I shook out and I said! thus may he shake out God every person who not he will carry out the word this from house his and from property his and thus may he be shaken out and empty and they said all the assembly amen and they praised Yahweh and it did the people according to the manner this.
Kaimah roe qan ih kahni to ka takhoek moe, Hae lokkamhaih pazui ai kami loe, Sithaw mah a im hoi a tawnh ih hmuennawk to hae tiah takhoek pae nasoe, tidoeh tawn ai ah takhoek pae bit nasoe, tiah ka naa. To naah rangpui mah, Amen, tiah thuih o moe, Angraeng to saphaw o; to kaminawk mah lokkamhaih baktih toengah sak o.
14 Also from [the] day - when someone appointed me to be governor their in [the] land of Judah from year twenty and until year thirty and two of Artaxerxes the king years two [plus] ten I and brothers my [the] food of the governor not I ate.
To pacoengah, Judah ukkung ah ka ohhaih saning, Artaxerxes siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning pumphaeto hoi kamtong saning qui thum, hnetto karoek to, saning hatlai hnetto thung, kaimah hoi kam nawknawk mah, ukkung mah caak han koi caaknaek to ka caa o ai.
15 And the governors former who [were] before me they made heavy on the people and they took from them food and wine after silver shekels forty also servants their they domineered over the people and I not I did thus because of [the] fear of God.
Toe kai om ai naah toksah ukkungnawk loe kaminawk khaeah buh hoi misurtui pacoengah, sum kanglung shekel quipalito a kok o; ue, nihcae ih tamnanawk mah doeh kaminawk nuiah akaa tawnh o. Toe Sithaw to ka zit pongah, kai loe to tiah ka sah ai.
16 And also on [the] work of the wall this I kept hold and a field not we acquired and all servants my [were] assembled there on the work.
Ue, kai loe tapang pakaahaih tok ni ka sak patomh poe; kaicae loe long doeh ka qan o ai; kai han toksah ka tamnanawk doeh tokkung ah ni kam khuengsak boih.
17 And the Jews and the officials one hundred and fifty person[s] and the [ones who] came to us from the nations which [were] around us [were] at table my.
Prae taengah kaom, kaicae khaeah angzo Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk pacoengah, Judah kaminawk hoi ukkung angraeng cumvai, quipangatonawk doeh, ka caboi nuiah ni buh a caak o.
18 And [that] which it was made for a day one [was] an ox one sheep six chosen and poultry they were made for me and between ten days in all wine to abundance and beside this [the] food of the governor not I sought for it was heavy the service on the people this.
Ni thokkruek maitaw tae maeto, tuu tarukto hoi aanawk to kai hanah ang paek o; ni hato kruek misurtui congca ang thak o; to tiah hmuen to oh, toe kaminawk hanah hmuenzit ah oh pongah, ukkungnawk han paek koi caaknaek to ka la ai.
19 Remember! to me O God my for good all that I have done on the people this.
Aw ka Sithaw, hae kaminawk nuiah ka sak ih kahoih hmuennawk pongah, na pahnet hmah, tiah lawk ka thuih.
