Nǝⱨǝmiya 5
1 U qaƣda halayiⱪ wǝ ularning hotunliri ɵz ⱪerindaxliri bolƣan Yǝⱨudalar üstidin xikayǝt ⱪilip ⱪattiⱪ dad-pǝryad kɵtürüxti.
[Later, ] many of the men and their wives protested loudly about what [some of] the [other] Jews were doing.
2 Bǝzilǝr: — Biz wǝ oƣul-ⱪizlirimizning jan sanimiz kɵp, kün kǝqüriximiz üqün toyƣudǝk axliⱪ almisaⱪ bolmaydu, deyixti.
Some/One of them said, “We have many children. So we need a lot of grain to be able to eat and continue to live.”
3 Yǝnǝ bǝzilǝr: — Biz aqarqiliⱪta ⱪalƣan waⱪtimizda axliⱪ elip yǝymiz dǝp etizlirimiz, üzümzarliⱪlirimizni wǝ ɵylirimizni rǝnigǝ berixkǝ mǝjbur bolduⱪ, deyixti.
Others said, “The fields and vineyards and houses that we own, it has been necessary for us to (mortgage them/promise to give them to someone if we do not pay back to him the money he has loaned us) in order to get money to buy grain, during this (famine/time where there is not much food).”
4 Wǝ yǝnǝ bǝzilǝr: — Padixaⱨning etizlirimiz wǝ üzümzarliⱪlirimiz üstigǝ salƣan baj-seliⱪni tapxuruxⱪa pul ⱪǝrz alduⱪ.
Others said, “We have [needed to] borrow money to pay the taxes that the king [commanded us to pay] on our fields and our vineyards.
5 Gǝrqǝ bǝdǝnlirimiz ⱪerindaxlirimizning bǝdǝnlirigǝ, pǝrzǝntlirimiz ularning pǝrzǝntlirigǝ ohxax bolsimu, lekin oƣul-ⱪizlirimizni ⱪul-dedǝk boluxⱪa tapxurmay amalimiz bolmidi; ǝmǝliyǝttǝ ⱪizlirimizdin bǝziliri alliⱪaqan dedǝk bolupmu kǝtti; ularni bǝdǝl tɵlǝp ⱨɵrlükkǝ qiⱪirixⱪa ⱪurbimiz yǝtmidi, qünki bizning etizlar wǝ üzümzarliⱪlirimiz ⱨazir baxⱪilarning ⱪolididur, — deyixti.
We are Jews just like [IDM] they are. Our children are ([just as good as/equal with)] their children. But we have needed to sell some of our children to become slaves [in order to pay what we owe]. We have already sold some of our daughters to become slaves. Our fields and vineyards have been taken away from us, so now we do not have [the money to pay what we owe, and we are forced to sell our children to get money to pay those debts].”
6 Mǝn ularning dad-pǝryadlirini wǝ eytⱪan bu gǝplirini angliƣandin keyin ⱪattiⱪ ƣǝzǝplǝndim.
I was very angry when I heard these things that they were complaining about.
7 Kɵnglümdǝ birǝr ⱪur oyliniwalƣandin keyin, mɵtiwǝrlǝr bilǝn ǝmǝldarlarni ǝyiblǝp: — Silǝr ɵz ⱪerindaxliringlarƣa ⱪǝrz berip ulardin ɵsüm alidikǝnsilǝr-ⱨǝ! — dǝp tǝnbiⱨ bǝrdim. Andin ularning sǝwǝbidin qong bir yiƣin eqip
So I thought about what I could do about it. I told the leaders and officials [who were responsible for this work], “You are charging interest to your own relatives [when they borrow money from you]!” Then I called together a large group of people,
8 ularni: — Biz küqimizning yetixiqǝ yat taipilǝrgǝ setiwetilgǝn ⱪerindiximiz Yǝⱨudalarni ⱪayturup setiwalduⱪ, lekin silǝr bizni ularni ⱪayturup setiwalsun dǝp ⱪerindaxliringlarni yǝnǝ setiwǝtmǝkqi boluwatamsilǝr? — dǝp ǝyibliwidim, ular dǝydiƣan gǝp tapalmay, xük turup ⱪaldi.
and I said to their [leaders], “Some of our Jewish relatives have been forced to sell themselves to become slaves of people who have come from other countries. As much as we have been able to, we have been buying them back [out of slavery]. But now you are forcing your own relatives to sell themselves to you, their fellow Jews, as slaves!” [When I said that to them, ] they were silent. There was nothing that they could say [because they knew that what I said was true].
9 Andin mǝn ularƣa yǝnǝ: — Silǝrning bu ⱪilƣininglar ⱪamlaxmaptu. Silǝr düxmǝnlirimiz bolƣan taipilǝr aldida bizni aⱨanǝtkǝ ⱪaldurmay, Hudayimizning ⱪorⱪunqida mangsanglar bolmasmidi?
Then I said to them, “What you are doing is terrible [EUP]! You certainly ought to [RHQ] obey God and do what is right! If you did that, our enemies who do not revere Yahweh [would see that we are doing what is right and] would not ridicule us.
10 Mǝnmu, ⱪerindaxlirim wǝ hizmǝtkarlirim ularƣa pul wǝ axliⱪ ɵtnǝ berip turup ɵsüm alsaⱪ alattuⱪ! Silǝrdin ɵtünimǝn, mundaⱪ ɵsüm elixtin waz keqǝyli!
My fellow Jews and I and my servants have lent money and grain to people [without charging interest]. So you all should stop charging interest on these loans.
11 Ɵtünüp ⱪalay, silǝr dǝl bügün ularning etizlirini, üzümzarliⱪ, zǝytunzarliⱪ wǝ ɵylirini ⱪayturup beringlar, wǝ xuningdǝk silǝr ulardin ündürüwalƣan pul, axliⱪ, yengi mǝy-xarab wǝ yengi zǝytun maylirining ɵsümini ularƣa ⱪayturup beringlar, dedim.
Also, you must give back to them their fields, their vineyards, their olive tree orchards, and their houses that you have taken from them. You must also give back to them the interest that you charged them when they borrowed money, grain, wine, and [olive] oil from you, and you must do it today!”
12 Ular: — Ⱪayturup berimiz, ǝmdi ulardin ⱨeq ɵsüm almaymiz; sili nemǝ desilǝ, biz xundaⱪ ⱪilimiz, deyixti. Mǝn kaⱨinlarni qaⱪirtip kelip, ularni bu wǝdǝ boyiqǝ xundaⱪ ijra ⱪilixⱪa ⱪǝsǝm iqküzdüm.
The leaders replied, “We will do what you have said. We will return to them everything that we forced them to give to us, and we will not require that they give us anything more.” Then I summoned the priests, and I forced the leaders to vow in front of them that they would do what they had promised to do.
13 Mǝn tonumning pexini ⱪeⱪip turup: — Kim muxu wǝdini ada ⱪilmisa, Huda xu yol bilǝn uning ɵzini ɵz ɵyidin wǝ mal-mülkidin mǝⱨrum ⱪilip ⱪeⱪiwǝtsun! Xu yol bilǝn uning ⱨǝmmǝ nemisi ⱪuruⱪdilip ⱪalƣuqǝ ⱪeⱪiwetilsun! — dedim. Pütkül jamaǝt birdǝk: «Amin!» deyixti ⱨǝm Pǝrwǝrdigarƣa Ⱨǝmdusana oⱪuxti. Andin kɵpqilik xu wǝdisi boyiqǝ deginidǝk ⱪilixti.
I shook out the folds of my robe and said to them, “If you do not do what you have just now promised to do, I hope/desire that God will shake you like I am shaking my robe. He will take away your homes and everything else that you own.” They all replied, “Amen/May it be so!” And they praised Yahweh. Then they did what they had promised to do.
14 Xuningdǝk, Yǝⱨudiyǝ zeminida ularƣa waliy boluxⱪa tiklǝngǝn kündin buyan, yǝni padixaⱨ Artahxaxtaning yigirminqi yilidin ottuz ikkinqi yiliƣiqǝ bolƣan on ikki yil iqidǝ nǝ mǝn, nǝ mening uruⱪ-tuƣⱪanlirim waliyliⱪ nenini ⱨeq yemiduⱪ.
I was appointed to be the governor of Judea in the twentieth year that Artaxerxes was the king [of Persia]. For the next twelve years, until he had been ruling for almost 32 years, neither I nor my officials accepted [the money that we were allowed/entitled to receive to buy] food because of my being the governor.
15 Mǝndin ilgiri waliy bolƣanlar hǝlⱪⱪǝ eƣirqilik selip, ulardin [kündilik] axliⱪ, mǝy-xarab wǝ xuningdǝk ⱪiriⱪ xǝkǝl kümüx elip kǝlgǝnikǝn; ⱨǝtta ularning hizmǝtkarlirimu hǝlⱪning üstidin ⱨoⱪuⱪwazliⱪ ⱪilip kǝlgǝnikǝn. Lekin mǝn Hudadin ⱪorⱪidiƣinim üqün undaⱪ ⱪilmidim.
The men who were governors before I became the governor had burdened the people by requiring them to pay a lot of taxes. They had forced each person to pay to them 40 silver coins every day, in addition to giving food and wine to them. Even their servants/officials oppressed the people. But I did not do that, because I revered God.
16 Mǝn dǝrwǝⱪǝ sepilning ⱪuruluxiƣila berilgǝqkǝ, biz ⱨǝtta birǝr etiznimu setiwalmiduⱪ; mening barliⱪ hizmǝtkarlirimmu ⱪuruluxta ixlǝxkǝ xu yǝrgǝ yiƣilatti.
I also continued to work on the wall, and I did not take land from people [who were unable to pay back the money that they had borrowed from me]. All those who worked for me joined me to work on the wall.
17 Ətrapimizdiki yat ǝllǝrdin bizning yenimizƣa kǝlgǝnlǝrdin bɵlǝk, mening bilǝn bir dastihanda ƣiza yǝydiƣanlar Yǝⱨudiylar wǝ ǝmǝldarlardin bir yüz ǝllik kixi idi.
Also, every day I was responsible to feed 150 Jewish officials, and also [official] visitors who came from nearby countries.
18 Ⱨǝrküni bir kala, hillanƣan altǝ ⱪoy tǝyyarlinatti, yǝnǝ manga bǝzi uqar ⱪuxlar tǝyyarlinatti; ⱨǝr on kündǝ bir ⱪetim ⱨǝrhil mol mǝy-xarab bilǝn tǝminlinǝtti. Xundaⱪ bolsimu mǝn yǝnila «waliy neni»ni tǝlǝp ⱪilmidim; qünki ⱪurulux Ixi hǝlⱪning üstidiki eƣir yük idi.
Each day I [told my servants to] serve [us the meat from] one ox, six very good sheep, and chickens. And every ten days I gave them a large new supply of wine. But I knew that the people were burdened [by paying lots of taxes], so I did not accept [the money that I was entitled/allowed to receive to buy all this] food because of my being the governor.
19 — Aⱨ Hudayim, mǝn muxu hǝlⱪ üqün ⱪilƣan barliⱪ iximni yad ǝtkǝysǝn, manga xapaǝt kɵrsǝtkǝysǝn!
My God, do not forget me, and reward me because of all that I have done for these people.
