Nehemaia 5

1 Hanki anante mago'a Jiu venenemo'zane a'nene zamimo'zanena Jiu naga'zamigura tusiza hu'za ke hara rezmante'naze.

And the cry of the people and their wives [was] great against their brethren the 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.

And some said, We [are] numerous with our sons and our daughters; so we will take corn, and eat, and live.

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.

And some said, [As to] our fields and vineyards and houses, let us pledge [them], and we will take corn, and eat.

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.

And some said, We have borrowed money for the king's tributes: —our fields, and our vineyards, and houses [are pledged].

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.

And now our flesh [is] as the flesh of our brethren, our children [are] as their children: yet, behold, we are reducing our sons and our daughters to slavery, and some of our daughters are enslaved: and there is no power of our hands, for our fields and our vineyards [belong] to the nobles.

6 Hanki ana vahe'mo'zama haza nanekene krafa ke'zamima nentahugeno'a nagrira tusi narimpa ahe'ne.

And I was much grieved as I heard their cry and these words.

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 my heart took counsel within me, and I contended against the nobles, and the princes, and I said to them, Should every man demand of his brother what you demand? And I appointed against them a great assembly,

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 I said to them, We of our free-will have redeemed our brethren the Jews that were sold to the Gentiles; and do you sell your brethren? and shall they be delivered to us? And they were silent, and found no answer.

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.

And I said, The thing which you do [is] not good; you will not so walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the Gentiles our 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.

Both my brethren, and my acquaintances, and I, have lent them money and corn: let us now leave off this exaction.

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.

Restore to them, I pray, as at this day, their fields, and their vineyards, and their olive yards, and their houses, and bring forth to them corn and wine and oil of the money.

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.

And they said, We will restore, and we will not exact of them; we will do thus as you say. Then I called the priests, and bound them by oath to do according to this word.

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.

And I shook out my garment, and said, So may God shake out every man who shall not keep to this word, from his house, and from his labours, he shall be even thus shaken out, as an outcast and empty. And all the congregation said, Amen, and they praised the Lord: and the people did this thing.

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.

From the day that he charged me to be their ruler in the land of Juda, from the twentieth year even to the thirty-second year of Arthasastha, twelve years, I and my brethren ate not [provision] extorted from them.

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.

But as for the former acts of extortion wherein [those who were] before me oppressed them, they even took of them their last money, forty didrachmas for bread and wine; and the [very] outcasts of them exercised authority over the people: but I did not so, because of the 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.

Also in the work of the wall I treated them not with rigor, I bought not land: and all that were gathered together [came] there to the work.

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.

And the Jews, to [the number of] a hundred and fifty men, besides those coming to us from the nations round about, [were] at my table.

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.

And there came [to me] for one day one calf, and I had six choice sheep and a goat; and every ten days wine in abundance of all sorts: yet with these I required not the bread of extortion, because the bondage was heavy upon this people.

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, O God, for good, [in] all that I have done to this people.
