Nehemiah 5
1 And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews.
Ket inyikkis dagiti lallaki ken dagiti assawada ti reklamoda kadagiti padada a Judio.
2 And there were that said, We, our sons and our daughters, are many, and we must procure corn that we may eat and live.
Ta adda sumagmamano kadakuada a nangibaga, “Adukami agraman dagiti annakmi a lallaki ken babbai. Isu a makaalakami koma iti trigo a kanenmi ket agbiagkami.”
3 And there were that said, We have had to pledge our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses, that we might procure corn in the dearth.
Adda pay dadduma kadakuada a nangibaga, “Insaldami dagiti talonmi, dagiti kaubasanmi ken dagiti balaymi tapno makaalakami iti trigo kabayatan ti panagbisin.”
4 And there were that said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute upon our fields and vineyards;
Kinuna pay dagiti dadduma, “Bimmulodkami iti kuarta nga ibayadmi iti ari a para iti buis dagiti talon ken dagiti kaubasanmi.
5 yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children; and behold, we must bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought into bondage [already]; neither is it in the power of our hand [to redeem them], for other men have our fields and our vineyards.
Ngem ita, ti lasag ken darami ket kas met laeng kadagiti kakabsatmi, ken dagiti annakmi ket kas met laeng kadagiti annakda. Mapilitankami a mangilako kadagiti annakmi nga agbalin a tagabu. Natagabun dagiti dadduma nga annakmi a babbai. Ngem awan ti kabaelanmi a tumulong kadakuada gapu ta sabalin a tattao ti akinkukua kadagiti talon ken kadagiti kaubasanmi.”
6 And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.
Kasta unay ti ungetko idi nangngegko ti ikkisda ken dagitoy a sasao.
7 And I consulted with myself; and I remonstrated with the nobles and the rulers, and said to them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother! And I set a great assembly against them.
Pinanpanunotko ngarud daytoy, ket napanko binabalaw dagiti natakneng a tattao ken dagiti opisial. Kinunak kadakuada, “Agsingsingir ti tunggal maysa kadakayo iti interes iti bukodna a kabsat.” Nangangayak iti dakkel a taripnong a maibusor kadakuada
8 And I said to them, We, according to our ability, have redeemed our brethren the Jews, who were sold to the nations; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? And they were silent and found no answer.
ket kinunak kadakuada, “Datayo, agingga iti kabaelantayo ket sinubbottayo manipud iti pannakatagabu dagiti kakabsattayo a Judio a nailako kadagiti nasion, ngem inlakoyo dagiti kakabsatyo kadagiti padayo a Judio tapno ilakodanto met laeng ida kadatayo!” Nagulimekda ket awan a pulos ti nasaoda.
9 And I said, The thing that ye do is not good. Ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God, so as not to be the reproach of the nations our enemies?
Kinunak pay, “Saan a nasayaat ti ar-aramidenyo. Saan aya a rumbeng nga agbiagkayo nga addaan panagbuteng iti Dios tapno maliklikan ti panangumsi kadatayo dagiti kabusortayo a nasion?
10 I also, my brethren and my servants, we might exact usury of them, money and corn. I pray you, let us leave off this usury.
Siak, dagiti kakabsatko ken dagiti adipenko, ket papautanganmi ida iti kuarta ken trigo. Ngem masapul nga isardengmin ti panagsingir iti interes kadagitoy nga utang.
11 Restore, I pray you, to them this very day their fields, their vineyards, their olive-gardens, and their houses, also the hundredth [part] of the money, and of the corn, the wine and the oil, that ye have exacted of them.
Iti daytoy met la nga aldaw, isubliyon kadakuada dagiti talonda, dagiti kaubasanda, dagiti kaoliboanda, dagiti babbalayda ken ti porsiento ti kuartada, ti trigoda, ti baro nga arakda, ken ti lana a siningiryo kadakuada.”
12 And they said, We will restore [them], and will require nothing of them; so will we do, as thou hast said. And I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise.
Ket kinunada, “Isublimin dagiti innalami kadakuada, ken saanmi idan a singeren. Aramidenmi kas iti imbagam.” Inayabak ngarud dagiti papadi ket pinagsapatak ida a tungpalenda dagiti inkarida.
13 Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house and from his earnings, that performeth not this promise: even thus be he shaken out and emptied! And all the congregation said, Amen! And they praised Jehovah. And the people did according to this promise.
Winagwagko ti kupin ti kagayko ket kinunak kadakuada, “Wagwagen koma ti Dios ti balay ken dagiti sanikuana ti tunggal tao a saan a mangtungpal iti karina. Mawagwag koma isuna ken awan mabati kenkuana. Kinuna dagiti amin nga adda iti taripnong, “Sapay koma ta kasta,” ket dinaydayawda ni Yahweh. Ket inaramid dagiti tattao kas iti inkarida.
14 Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even to the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes the king, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor.
Isu a manipud iti tiempo a nadutokanak a gobernadorda iti daga ti Juda, manipud iti maika-duapulo a tawen agingga iti maika-32 a tawen ni Artaxerxes nga ari, sangapulo ket dua a tawen a saanak a nangan wenno dagiti kakabsatko kadagiti taraon nga agpaay iti gobernador.
15 But the former governors that were before me had been chargeable to the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, besides forty shekels of silver: even their servants bore rule over the people. But I did not so, because of the fear of God.
Ngem pinadagsenan dagiti sigud a gobernador nga immun-una ngem siak dagiti tattao, inalaanda ida iti uppat a pulo a siklo a pirak nga agpaay iti inaldaw a taraon ken arakda. Uray dagiti adipenda ket pinarigatda dagiti tattao. Ngem saanko nga inaramid ti kasta gapu iti panagbutengko iti Dios.
16 Yea, also I applied myself to this work of the wall, and we bought no fields; and all my servants were gathered thither for the work.
Intuloyko pay ti nagtrabaho iti pader, ket awan ti ginatangmi a daga. Ket naguummong sadiay dagiti amin nga adipenko tapno agtrabaho.
17 And there were at my table a hundred and fifty of the Jews and the rulers, besides those that came to us from among the nations that were about us.
Kalanglangko a mangan iti lamisaak dagiti 150 a lallaki a Judio ken opisial, malaksid kadagiti immay kadakami manipud kadagiti nasion iti aglawlawmi.
18 And that which was prepared daily was one ox [and] six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days all sorts of wine in abundance. Yet for all this I demanded not the bread of the governor; for the service was heavy upon this people.
Ita, inaldaw a maisagana ti maysa a kalakian a baka, innem a napili a karnero, ken kasta met dagiti bilit, ken kada sangapulo nga aldaw, nawadwad ti amin a kita ti arak. Ket nupay kasta, saanko nga innala ti abasto a taraon nga agpaay iti gobernador, gapu ta nadagsen unay kadagiti tattao ti masingsingir a buis.
19 Remember for me, my God, for good, all that I have done for this people.
Lagipennak, O Diosko, iti kinaimbag, gapu kadagiti amin nga inaramidko para kadagitoy a tattao.
