Nehemiah 5

1 And there is a great cry of the people and their wives, concerning their brethren the Jews,

To, sai maza da matansu suka tā da fara gunaguni mai tsanani a kan’yan’uwansu Yahudawa.

2 yea, there are who are saying, 'Our sons, and our daughters, we — are many, and we receive corn, and 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 And there are who are saying, 'Our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses, we are pledging, and we receive corn for the famine.'

Waɗansu kuwa suka ce, “Saboda yunwa mun jinginar da gonakinmu, da gonakin inabinmu, da gidajenmu don mu sami hatsi.”

4 And there are who are saying, 'We have borrowed money for the tribute of the king, [on] our fields, and our vineyards;

Har illa yau waɗansu suka ce, “Mun ci bashin kuɗi don mu biya haraji a kan gonakinmu, da gonakin inabinmu.

5 and now, as the flesh of our brethren [is] our flesh, as their sons [are] our sons, and lo, we are subduing our sons and our daughters for servants, and there are of our daughters subdued, and our hand hath no might, and our fields and our vineyards [are] 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 is very displeasing to me when I have heard their cry and these words,

Sa’ad da na ji kukansu da waɗannan koke-koke, na husata ƙwarai.

7 and my heart reigneth over me, and I strive with the freemen, and with the prefects, and say to them, 'Usury one upon another ye are exacting;' and I set against 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 say to them, 'We have acquired our brethren the Jews, those sold to the nations, according to the ability that [is] in us, and ye also sell your brethren, and they have been sold to us!' and they are silent, and have not found 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 And I say, 'Not good [is] the thing that ye are doing; in the fear of our God do ye not 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 And also, I, my brethren, and my servants, are exacting of them silver and corn; let us leave off, I pray you, 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 Give back, I pray you, to them, as to-day, their fields, their vineyards, their olive-yards, and their houses, and the hundredth [part] of the money, and of the corn, of the new wine, and of the oil, that ye are exacting of 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 say, 'We give back, and of them we seek nothing; so we do as thou art saying.' And I call the priests, and cause them to swear to do according to this thing;

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 I have shaken, and I say, 'Thus doth God shake out every man, who doth not perform this thing, from his house, and from his labour; yea, thus is he shaken out and empty;' and all the assembly say, 'Amen,' and praise Jehovah; and the people do according to this thing.

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 Also, from the day that he appointed me to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the thirty and second year of Artaxerxes the king — twelve years — I, and my brethren, the bread of the governor 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 the former governors who [are] before me have made themselves heavy on the people, and take of them in bread and wine, besides in silver forty shekels; also, their servants have ruled over the people — and I have not done 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 And also, in the work of this wall I have done mightily, even a field we have not bought, and all my servants are gathered there for 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 of the Jews, and of the prefects, a hundred and fifty men, and those coming in unto us of the nations that [are] round about us, [are] at 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 and that which hath been prepared for one day [is] one ox, six fat sheep, also fowls have been prepared for me, and once in ten days of all wines abundantly, and with this, the bread of the governor I have not sought, for heavy is the service 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 for 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.
