Nexemyaah 5
1 Markaasaa waxaa dadkii iyo afooyinkooda ka kacay qaylo weyn oo ay kaga cabanayeen walaalahooda Yuhuudda ah.
Then came there to be a great outcry of the people and their wives, —against their brethren the Jews.
2 Oo waxaa jiray dad yidhi, Annaga iyo wiilashayada iyo gabdhahayagu waannu badan nahay, haddaba aan hadhuudh helno si aannu u cunno oo ugu noolaanno.
And there were some who were saying, Our sons and our daughters, are we pledging, —that we may obtain corn, and eat, and keep ourselves alive.
3 Oo weliba waxaa kaloo jiray qaar yidhi, Annagu waxaannu rahaamad u dhiibaynaa beerahayaga iyo beerahayaga canabka ah iyo guryahayaga, si aannu u helno hadhuudh abaarta aawadeed.
And there were some who were saying, Our fields and our vineyards and our houses, are we pledging, —that we may obtain corn in the dearth.
4 Oo waxaa kaloo jiray kuwo yidhi, Gabbaradii uu boqorku ka doonayay beerahayagii iyo beerahayagii canabka ahaa ayaannu lacag u amaahannay.
And there were others who were saying, We have borrowed silver, for the king’s tribute, —[upon] our lands and our vineyards.
5 Haddaba jiidhkayagu waa sida jiidhka walaalahayo, oo carruurtayaduna waa sida carruurtooda oo kale, oo bal eeg, wiilashayadii iyo gabdhahayagii ayaannu u bixinaynaa inay addoommo noqdaan, oo gabdhahayagii qaarkood mar horaa la addoonsaday; oo annana ma lihin itaal aan wax kaga tarno, waayo, dad kalaa wada haysta beerahayagii iyo beerahayagii canabka ahaa oo dhan.
Now, therefore, as is the flesh of our brethren, so is our flesh, as are their children, so are our children. Yet lo! we are putting in subjection our sons and our daughters, for bondservants, yea there are some of our daughters already trodden down, and we are powerless, and, our fields and our vineyards, belong to others.
6 Oo anna aad baan u cadhooday markii aan maqlay qayladoodii iyo erayadan.
And it angered me greatly, —when I heard their outcry, and these words.
7 Markaasaan isla arrinsaday, waanan la diriray kuwii gobta ahaa iyo taliyayaashii, oo waxaan ku idhi, Idinka mid waluba wuxuu walaalkiis ka qaataa korsocod. Oo anigu waxaan qabtay shir weyn oo iyaga ka gees ah.
So my heart took counsel unto me and I contended with the nobles and with the deputies, and said to them, A loan on interest—every man to his brother, are ye making, —So I appointed over them a great assembly;
8 Oo waxaan ku idhi, Innagu walaalaheennii Yuhuudda ahaa oo quruumaha laga iibiyey, waan soo furannay intii aan awoodnay oo dhan, haddaba idinku ma waxaad doonaysaan inaad walaalihiin iibisaan? Oo ma annagaa nalaga iibinayaa? Markaasay shib iska yidhaahdeen oo eray ay ku hadlaan way garan waayeen.
and I said unto them, We, have bought our brethren the Jews, who had sold themselves unto the nations, according to our ability, and will, ye, even sell your brethren, or shall they sell themselves unto us? And they were silent, and found no answer.
9 Oo weliba waxaan idhi, War waxaad samaysaan ma wanaagsana. Sow waajib idinkuma aha inaad ku socotaan ka cabsashada Ilaaheenna cayda quruumaha cadaawayaasheenna ah aawadeed?
Then said I, Not good, is the thing which ye are doing, —ought ye not, in the fear of God, to walk, because of the reproach of the nations, our enemies?
10 Oo sidaasoo kale aniga iyo walaalahay iyo midiidinnadayda lacag iyo hadhuudh baan korsocod ku amaahinnaa. Waan idin baryayaaye aan iska dayno korsocodkan.
I too, then, my brethren and my young men, might be lending unto them on interest silver and corn! I pray you, let us leave off this lending on interest!
11 Haddaba waxaan idinka baryayaa inaad maantadan u celisaan beerahoodii, iyo beerahoodii canabka ahaa, iyo beerahoodii saytuunka ahaa, iyo guryahoodii, oo lacagtii, iyo hadhuudhkii, iyo khamrigii, iyo saliiddii aad korsocodka uga qaadateenna boqolkii meelood meel u celiya.
Restore, I pray you, unto them this very day, their fields, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, —also the hundredth of silver and corn, new wine and oil, for which ye have been lending to them.
12 Markaasay yidhaahdeen, Waxoodii waan u celinaynaa, oo wax dambena weyddiisan mayno innaba. Waxaannu yeelaynaa sidaad tidhaahdo. Markaasaan u yeedhay wadaaddadii, oo waxaan ku dhaariyey inay ballankan siduu yahay oofiyaan.
And they said, We will restore them, and, from them, will we require nothing, so, will we do, as thou, art saying. Then called I the priests, and put them on oath, to do according to this promise.
13 Markaasaan maradii dhabtayda hurgufay oo waxaan idhi, Ilaahay sidaas ha uga hurgufo gurigiisa iyo hawshiisa nin alla ninkii aan oofin ballankan; sidaas oo kale isaga ha loo hurgufo oo ha loo madhiyo. Markaasaa ururkii oo dhammu waxay yidhaahdeen, Aamiin, Rabbigana way ammaaneen. Oo dadkiina way sameeyeen sidii ballankaasu ahaa.
Also, my lap, shook I out, and said—Thus and thus, may God shake out every man who shall not confirm this promise, out of his house and out of his labour, yea, thus and thus, let him be shaken out and empty, —And all the convocation said, Amen! and praised Yahweh, and the people did according to this promise.
14 Oo weliba tan iyo waagii la ii doortay inaan taliye u ahaado dalka Yahuudah waagaasoo ahaa boqorkii Artaxshasta sannaddiisii labaatanaad ilaa tan iyo sannaddiisii laba iyo soddonaad inta u dhex leh intaasoo ahayd laba iyo toban sannadood, aniga iyo walaalahay midna ma cunin cuntadii taliyaha.
Moreover, from the day I was commanded to become their pasha in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year, even unto the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes the king, twelve years, I and my brethren, pasha’s bread, have not eaten;
15 Laakiinse taliyayaashii hore oo iga sii horreeyey dadka culays bay ku hayeen, oo waxay ka qaadan jireen cunto iyo khamri iyo weliba afartan sheqel oo lacag ah, oo xataa midiidinnadoodu dadka way xukumi jireen. Laakiinse anigu saas ma aan yeelin, maxaa yeelay, waxaan ka cabsadaa Ilaah.
whereas, the former pashas, who were before me, suffered themselves to be a burden upon the people, and took from them in bread and wine, besides forty shekels of silver, even, their young men, bare rule over the people, —but, I, did not so, because of the fear of God.
16 Oo weliba waxaan hore u sii waday shuqulkii derbigan, oo annagu waxba dhul ma aannu iibsan. Oo midiidinnadaydii oo dhammuna halkaasay shuqulka aawadiis ku soo wada urureen.
Moreover also, in this work of the wall, I repaired, and, no field, did we buy, —though, all my young men, were gathered thither unto the work.
17 Oo weliba waxaa miiskayga wax ka cuni jiray boqol iyo konton nin oo ah Yuhuud iyo taliyayaal oo ayan ku jirin kuwii nooga yimid quruumihii hareerahayaga ku wareegsanaa.
And, Jews and deputies, a hundred and fifty men, and they who were coming in unto us from among the nations which were round about us, [depended] upon my table.
18 Haddaba maalintiiba waxaa naloo diyaarin jiray dibi iyo lix neef oo wanaagsan oo ido ah; oo weliba waxaa la ii diyaarin jiray digaag, oo tobankii maalmoodba mar baa naloo keeni jiray cayn kasta oo khamri ah; oo weliba intaas oo dhan anigu marna ma weyddiisan cuntadii taliyaha, maxaa yeelay, addoonnimada dadkan saarnayd aad bay u cuslayd.
Now, that which was prepared for a single day, was—one ox, six choice sheep, also, fowls, were prepared for me, and, apportioned unto ten days, of every sort of wine, in abundance, —yet, in spite of this, the bread of the pasha, demanded I not, because heavy was the bondage upon this people.
19 Ilaahayow, wanaag igu xusuuso wixii aan dadkan u sameeyey oo dhan aawadiis.
Remember unto me, O my God, for good, —all that I have done for this people.
