Nehemaia 5
1 Hanki anante mago'a Jiu venenemo'zane a'nene zamimo'zanena Jiu naga'zamigura tusiza hu'za ke hara rezmante'naze.
About that time there was a great outcry from the people and their wives against their fellow Jews.
2 Anama keha'maraza naga'moza amanage hu'naze, Tagra tusi mofavrezaga zamante'none. E'ina hu'negu tagrama witima erita nesuta ofri manigahaze.
Some were saying, “We and our sons and daughters are numerous. We must get grain in order to eat and stay alive.”
3 Hanki mago'amo'za amanage hu'naze, tagatontoma hia knafina tagra mago'a ana vahepinti zagoa nofi huta enerita, mago tarimpa huta kea anakita ana nofi'ma apa'ma osesunana, waini hozati'ma witi hozati'ma nontinena erigahaze huta kea anaki'none.
Others were saying, “We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards, and our homes to get grain during the famine.”
4 Hagi mago'a vahe'mo'zanena amanage hu'naze, Tagra waini hozatine, mopatimofo takisima kini ne'mofoma aminakura vahepinti zagoa nofi huta ami'none.
Still others were saying, “We have borrowed money to pay the king’s tax on our fields and vineyards.
5 Hagi tagranena zamagrama hazaza huta Juda vahe mani'none. Tagri mofavre naga'mo'za zamagri ne'mofavre naga'mo'zama nehazaza hu'za knare hu'naze. Hianagi mofavre nagatia zamatresanunke'za kazokazo eri'za ome erigahaze. Hagi mago'a mofa'netimo'za hago vu'za kazokazo eri'zana ome enerize. Hianagi tagrira hankavetia omane'ne, na'ankure mopatine waini hozatinena hago rumo'za eri'naze.
We and our children are just like our countrymen and their children, yet we are subjecting our sons and daughters to slavery. Some of our daughters are already enslaved, but we are powerless to redeem them because our fields and vineyards belong to others.”
6 Hanki ana vahe'mo'zama haza nanekene krafa ke'zamima nentahugeno'a nagrira tusi narimpa ahe'ne.
When I heard their outcry and these complaints, I became extremely angry,
7 Ana hige'na ana nanekea antahintahinifi atrogeno me'nege'na refko hute'na, kva vahe'tamine erizante'ma ugotama hu'naza vahetaminena amanage hu'na zamasami'noe, tamagra magoke vahe mani'nazanki na'agafare nofi'ma hu'naza zagorera amema'a ante marerita enerize. Anage hute'na ana vahera zamuvufintanke huku, ana maka vahe kuhuge'za eme eri tru hu'naze.
and after serious thought I rebuked the nobles and officials, saying, “You are exacting usury from your own brothers!” So I called a large assembly against them
8 Hagi anante amanage hu'na zamasami'noe, Ko'ma megi'a vahe'mo'zama mago'a nagatima zagoreti'ma mizase'za ome kinama huzmante'nazana maka ete mizama huta zamavare megi atreku maraguzana netune. Hianagi zamagra zamafuhe'ina megi'a vahete zagorera netrazanki'za ete ana vahera tagrite zagore atregahaze. Anankema huge'za kva nagara ke'zamia omanege'za akohe'za mani'naze.
and said, “We have done our best to buy back our Jewish brothers who were sold to foreigners, but now you are selling your own brothers, that they may be sold back to us!” But they remained silent, for they could find nothing to say.
9 Anama hazage'na mago'ene amanage hu'na zamasami'noe, Tamagra e'inahu tamavutamava'ma nehaza zamo'a knarera osu'neanki, tagri Anumzamofonku korora hunenteta, Agri agorga nemanita fatgo avu'avazama'a amage anteho. E'ina tamavu'tamavama hanage'za megi'a tamefi'a nanekea osugahaze.
So I continued, “What you are doing is not right. Shouldn’t you walk in the fear of our God to avoid the reproach of our foreign enemies?
10 Hagi nagrane nafuhe'zane eri'za naga'ninena ana zanke huta zagone witinena nofi'ma hu'za erinaku'ma hazageta nezamune. Hianagi nofi'ma hu'nazare'ma apasehogu'ma rama'a zago agima ahezmante'zana atresune.
I, as well as my brothers and my servants, have been lending the people money and grain. Please, let us stop this usury.
11 Hanki waini hoza zamifi, olivi hoza zamifi, no zamifi hozama ante mopa'zaminema eri'nesazana meninke'za ete ame huta zamiho. Ana zanke hutma zagofi, witifi, wainifi olivi masavenema zamagripinti'ma nofi'ma hu'nesazana amema'a zamagripintira ante marerita e'oritma atreho.
Please restore to them immediately their fields, vineyards, olive groves, and houses, along with the percentage of the money, grain, new wine, and oil that you have been assessing them.”
12 Anante kva vahe'mo'za kenona hu'za, Kema hana kea amage anteta ana maka zama eri'nona zantamina ete zamigahune. Ana nehuta zamagripintira mago zana kea huta e'origahune. Anagema hazage'na kva naga'ene ugota kva vahera zamasami'na, kema haza nanekerera pristi vahe zamavufina mago huvempa ke hutma ana osugahune hutma hiho huge'za ana osugahune hu'za huvempa hu'naze.
“We will restore it,” they replied, “and will require nothing more from them. We will do as you say.” So I summoned the priests and required of the nobles and officials an oath that they would do what they had promised.
13 Anagema nehu'na nakre kuni'mofo kasagura eriherahe nehu'na, amanage hu'na hu'noe, Amama huvempama hazankema, amage'ma ontesimofona Anumzamo'a anamofo noma'afintira ama avame'zama huaza huno, ana maka vahe'mo'za fenozama'a eri herahe hutregahie. Ana hanigeno anamofona mago'a zama'a omanegahie hu'na huge'za, ana maka tamage hu'za nehu'za Ra Anumzamofona agi'a ahentesga nehu'za, huvempama hu'naza ke amage ante'naze.
I also shook out the folds of my robe and said, “May God likewise shake out of His house and possession every man who does not keep this promise. May such a man be shaken out and have nothing!” The whole assembly said, “Amen,” and they praised the LORD. And the people did as they had promised.
14 Hagi Pesia kini ne' Artserksisi'ma kinima manino egeno 20ma hia kafufi, nagrira huhampari nantage'na Juda mopare'ma kva mani'noreti'ma eno, Artserksisi'ma kini manino egeno 32ma hia kafumofo amu'nompina nagra 12fu'a kafufi gavana eri'zana eri'noanagi, gavana ne'mo'ma ne'zama miza huno negahie hu'nea zagofintira mago zagoe hu'na e'oritfa hu'noe.
Furthermore, from the day King Artaxerxes appointed me to be their governor in the land of Judah, from his twentieth year until his thirty-second year (twelve years total), neither I nor my brothers ate the food allotted to the governor.
15 Hianagi Juda mopare'ma ko'ma gavana mani'za e'naza, vahe'mokizmia tusi'a kna nezami'za, ne'zane waini tinema eriza agofetura, 40'a silva zagone eri'naze. Hagi ana kva vahe'ma zamaza hu'za eri'zama eri'za vahe'mo'zanena, vahera tusi'a knaza zami'naze. Hianagi nagra Anumzamofonku koro hunente'na e'inama hazazana osu'noe.
The governors before me had heavily burdened the people, taking from them bread and wine plus forty shekels of silver. Their servants also oppressed the people, but I did not do this because of my fear of God.
16 Nagra Jerusalemi kuma keginama hu' eri'zanke nagu'areti hu'na e'neri'na mopa miza ose'noe. Hagi nagranema eme atru hu'za eri'zama eri'za vahe'mo'zanena, ana zanke hu'za mopa miza ose'naze.
Instead, I devoted myself to the construction of the wall, and all my servants were gathered there for the work; we did not acquire any land.
17 Hianagi nagri nompintira Jiu vahe'ene ugota kva vahetamina 150'a vahe'mo'za ne'zana eme nenageno, anampina tvaontire'ma me'nea mopafima nemaniza vahepintira mago'amo'za nagri nompinti tagrane ne'zana eme ne'naze.
There were 150 Jews and officials at my table, besides the guests from the surrounding nations.
18 Hanki mago mago zupama nagri nompima ne'zama kre terema hu'nazana vahe'mo'za mago bulimakaogi, 6si'a knare'ma hu'nea sipisipi afutaminki, mago'a kokore raminki hu'za ana vahera ne'zana krezamantetere hu'naze. Hagi 10ni'a zage kna'ma evuterema nehige'za, eri'za waini tina eri'za eme zamizage'za, ana netere hu'naze. Ana ne'zantamimpina, magore hu'na gavana ne'mofo ne'zanema hu'za huhampari'naza ne'zampinti'enena erinteta erita eho hu'na huozamante'noe. Na'ankure eri'zama zami'noa eri'zamo'a ranknaza zaminogu anara hu'noe.
Each day one ox, six choice sheep, and some fowl were prepared for me, and once every ten days an abundance of all kinds of wine was provided. But I did not demand the food allotted to the governor, because the burden on the people was so heavy.
19 Anama hute'na nunamu hu'na, Anumzanimoka ama vahe'mokizmima zamaza hu'na maka knare eri'zama eri'noazamofona kagera akanionantenka asomura hunanto hu'na hu'noe.
Remember me favorably, O my God, for all that I have done for this people.
