Nehemiah 5
1 And it was cry of distress of the people and wives their great against countrymen their the Jews.
茲に民その妻とともにその兄弟なるユダヤ人にむかひて大に叫べり
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.
或人言ふ我儕および我らの男子女子は多し我ら穀物を得食ふて生ざるべからず
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.
或人は言ふ我らは我らの田畑葡萄園および家をも質となすなり旣に饑に迫れば我らに穀物を獲させよ
4 And there [were those] who [were] saying we have borrowed money for [the] tribute of the king fields our and vineyards our.
或は言ふ我らは我らの田畝および葡萄園をもて金を貸て王の租税を納む
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.
然ど我らの肉も我らの兄弟の肉と同じく我らの子女も彼らの子女と同じ視よ我らは男子女子を人に伏從はせて奴隸となす我らの女子の中すでに人に伏從せし者もあり如何とも爲ん方法なし其は我らの田畝および葡萄園は別の人の有となりたればなりと
6 And it burned to me exceedingly when I heard outcry their and the words these.
我は彼らの叫および是等の言を聞て大に怒れり
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.
是において我心に思ひ計り貴き人々および牧伯等を責てこれに言けるは汝らは各々その兄弟より利息を取るなりと而して我かれらの事につきて大會を開き
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.
彼らに言けるは我らは異邦人の手に賣れたる我らの兄弟ユダヤ人を我らの力にしたがひて贖へり然るにまた汝等は己の兄弟を賣んとするやいかで之をわれらの手に賣るべけんやと彼らは默して言なかりき
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.
我また言けるは汝らの爲すところ善らず汝らは我らの敵たる異邦人の誹謗をおもひて我儕の神を畏れつつ事をなすべきに非ずや
10 And also I brothers my and servants my [are] lending to them money and grain let us abandon please the usury this.
我もわが兄弟および僕等も同じく金と穀物とを貸て利息を取ことをなす願くは我らこの利息を廢ん
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.
請ふ汝ら今日にも彼らの田畝葡萄園橄欖園および家を彼らに還しまた彼らに貸あたへて金穀物および酒油などの百分の一を取ることを廢よと
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.
彼ら即ち言けるは我ら之を還すべし彼らに何をも要めざらん汝の言るごとく我ら然なすべしと是に於て我祭司を呼び彼らをして此言のごとく行なふといふ誓を立しめたり
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.
而して我わが胸懐を打拂ひて言ふ此言を行はざる者をば願くは神是のごとく凡て打拂ひてその家およびその業を離れさせたまへ即ちその人は斯打拂はれて空しくなれかしと時に會衆みなアーメンと言てヱホバを讃美せり而して民はこの言のごとくに行へり
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.
且また我がユダの地の總督に任ぜられし時より即ちアルタシヤユタ王の二十年より三十二年まで十二年の間は我もわが兄弟も總督の受べき禄を食ざりき
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.
わが以前にありし舊の總督等は民に重荷を負せてパンと酒とを是より取り其外にまた銀四十シケルを取れり然のみならずその僕等も亦民を圧せり然ども我は神を畏るるに因て然せざりき
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.
我は反てこの石垣の工事に身を委ね我儕は何の田地をも買しこと無し我僕は皆かしこに集りて工事をなせり
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.
且また我席にはユダヤ人および牧伯等百五十人あり其外にまた我らの周圍の異邦人の中より我らに來れる者等もありき
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.
是をもて一日に牛一匹肥たる羊六匹を備へ亦鶏をも許多備へ十日に一回種々の酒を多く備へたり是ありしかどもこの民の役おもきに因て我は總督の受くべき禄を要めざりき
19 Remember! to me O God my for good all that I have done on the people this.
わが神よ我が此民のために爲る一切の事を憶ひ仁慈をもて我をあしらひ給へ
