Nehemaia 5
1 Hanki anante mago'a Jiu venenemo'zane a'nene zamimo'zanena Jiu naga'zamigura tusiza hu'za ke hara rezmante'naze.
Around this time some people and their wives started a tremendous argument with the other 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.
They were complaining, “Our families are so large we need more food so we can 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.
Others added, “We've had to mortgage our fields, our vineyards, and our homes to buy food 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 more said, “We've had to borrow money on our fields and vineyards to pay the king's tax.
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.
Even though we are the same people as our creditors and though our children are the same as their children, yet we going to have to turn our sons and daughters into slaves. In fact some of our daughters have already been enslaved, but we can't do anything about it, because our fields and our vineyards are now owned by others.”
6 Hanki ana vahe'mo'zama haza nanekene krafa ke'zamima nentahugeno'a nagrira tusi narimpa ahe'ne.
I became very angry when I heard them protesting their grievances.
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.
I thought it over and then I went to argue with the nobles and officials, telling them, “You are charging your own brothers interest!” So I called a large meeting to deal with 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.
There I told them, “We have done as much as we can to buy back our Jewish brothers who were sold to foreigners, but now you are selling your own brothers as slaves! Are you expecting to sell them back to us?” They kept quiet because they couldn't think of anything 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.
“What you're doing isn't right,” I told them. “Don't you think you should respect our God so that enemy nations don't criticize us?
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 men have been have been lending the people money and food. Please, let's stop this business of charging interest!
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.
Give them back right now their fields, vineyards, olive groves, and houses, along with the one percent interest on the money, grain, new wine, and olive oil that you have been charging 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 give it back,” they replied, “and we won't demand anything more from them. We'll do as you say.” So I summoned the priests and made the nobles and officials swear an oath that they'd 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 shook out the folds of my robe and said, “This is how my God will shake you out of your homes and out of your possessions if you don't keep your promise! If you don't, you'll be shaken out and end up with nothing!” Everyone there said, “Amen,” and praised the Lord. The people did what they'd 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.
In addition to this, from the day King Artaxerxes appointed me as governor in the land of Judah, which was from his twentieth year until his thirty-second year, a total of twelve years, neither I nor my brothers ate the food which was allocated 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.
But the governors before me had placed a heavy burden on the people, taking forty shekels of silver from them as well as food and wine. Their assistants also extorted the people. But because of my respect for God I didn't act like that.
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.
I also made rebuilding the wall my top priority, and I assigned all my workers to help with that. We didn't acquire any land for ourselves.
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.
I had 150 Jews and officials eating at my table, as well as visitors from nearby countries.
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.
Every day I paid for one ox, six good sheep, and poultry. Every ten days I paid for a large supply of all kinds of wine. But I never demanded the governor's food allowance, because the people were already carrying a heavy burden.
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.
Please remember me positively, my God, for all that I've done for this people.
