Прощение долгов беднякам
5 В народе, среди мужчин и их жен, поднялся сильный ропот на своих братьев-иудеев. 2 Некоторые говорили:
– Нас, наших сыновей и наших дочерей много, и чтобы кормиться и жить, нам нужно зерно.
3 Другие говорили:
– Нам приходится закладывать свои поля, виноградники и дома, чтобы достать зерна во время голода.
4 А были и такие, которые говорили:
– Нам приходится занимать деньги, чтобы платить царю налог на наши поля и виноградники. 5 Мы из той же плоти, что и наши соплеменники, и наши сыновья такие же, как у них, но нам приходится отдавать своих сыновей и дочерей в рабство. Некоторые из наших дочерей уже порабощены, но мы бессильны, потому что наши поля и виноградники принадлежат другим.
6 Услышав их ропот и эти жалобы, я очень рассердился. 7 Обдумав, я обвинил знать и начальствующих. Я сказал им:
– Вы берете проценты со своих братьев!
Из-за них я созвал большое собрание 8 и сказал:
– Всеми силами мы выкупали наших братьев-иудеев, которые были проданы язычникам. А теперь вы продаете своих же братьев, которых нам приходится выкупать!
Они молчали, потому что им нечего было сказать.
9 Тогда я сказал:
– То, что вы делаете, – нехорошо. Разве вы не должны ходить в страхе нашего Бога, чтобы избежать порицания наших врагов-язычников? 10 Я, мои братья и слуги также даем в долг народу деньги и зерно. Давайте прекратим брать проценты! 11 Немедленно верните им их поля, виноградники, оливковые рощи и дома, а также проценты, которые вы им назначили, – сотую часть денег, зерна, молодого вина и масла.
12 – Мы вернем это, – сказали они, – и не потребуем больше от них ничего. Мы сделаем, как ты говоришь.
Я призвал священников и заставил знать и приближенных дать клятву в том, что они выполнят обещанное. 13 Еще я вытряхнул свою одежду и сказал:
– Пусть так же Бог вытряхнет всякого человека, который не сдержит этого обещания, из его дома и добра. Пусть так же этот человек будет вытряхнут и опустошен!
И все общество сказало: «Аминь!»[a], – и прославило Бога.
И народ сделал так, как и обещал.
Неемия подает пример
14 Более того, с двадцатого года правления царя Артаксеркса, когда я был назначен наместником в земле иудейской, до его тридцать второго года правления – двенадцать лет[b] – ни я, ни братья мои не ели пищи, предназначенной для наместника. 15 Прежние наместники, которые были до меня, возложили на народ тяжкое бремя и брали у них сорок шекелей[c] серебра, помимо пищи и вина. Даже их слуги помыкали народом. Но я, почитая Бога, так не поступал. 16 Напротив, я посвятил себя работам по восстановлению стены. Все мои слуги были собраны туда для работ; мы не покупали[d] земель.
17 Более того, за моим столом ели сто пятьдесят иудеев и начальствующих, не считая тех, кто приходил к нам из окрестных народов. 18 Каждый день у меня готовили одного быка, шесть отборных овец и птицу, а каждые десять дней в изобилии подавали всякого рода вино. Несмотря на это, я никогда не требовал пищи, предназначенной для наместника, потому что и без этого народу приходилось тяжело.
19 Вспомни мне во благо, Боже мой, все, что я сделал для этого народа.

Nehemiah Helps the Poor
5 Now the men and their wives raised a great outcry against their fellow Jews. 2 Some were saying, “We and our sons and daughters are numerous; in order for us to eat and stay alive, we must get grain.”
3 Others were saying, “We are mortgaging our fields,(A) our vineyards and our homes to get grain during the famine.”(B)
4 Still others were saying, “We have had to borrow money to pay the king’s tax(C) on our fields and vineyards. 5 Although we are of the same flesh and blood(D) as our fellow Jews and though our children are as good as theirs, yet we have to subject our sons and daughters to slavery.(E) Some of our daughters have already been enslaved, but we are powerless, because our fields and our vineyards belong to others.”(F)
6 When I heard their outcry and these charges, I was very angry. 7 I pondered them in my mind and then accused the nobles and officials. I told them, “You are charging your own people interest!”(G) So I called together a large meeting to deal with them 8 and said: “As far as possible, we have bought(H) back our fellow Jews who were sold to the Gentiles. Now you are selling your own people, only for them to be sold back to us!” They kept quiet, because they could find nothing to say.(I)
9 So I continued, “What you are doing is not right. Shouldn’t you walk in the fear of our God to avoid the reproach(J) of our Gentile enemies? 10 I and my brothers and my men are also lending the people money and grain. But let us stop charging interest!(K) 11 Give back to them immediately their fields, vineyards, olive groves and houses, and also the interest(L) you are charging them—one percent of the money, grain, new wine and olive oil.”
12 “We will give it back,” they said. “And we will not demand anything more from them. We will do as you say.”
Then I summoned the priests and made the nobles and officials take an oath(M) to do what they had promised. 13 I also shook(N) out the folds of my robe and said, “In this way may God shake out of their house and possessions anyone who does not keep this promise. So may such a person be shaken out and emptied!”
At this the whole assembly said, “Amen,”(O) and praised the Lord. And the people did as they had promised.
14 Moreover, from the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes,(P) when I was appointed to be their governor(Q) in the land of Judah, until his thirty-second year—twelve years—neither I nor my brothers ate the food allotted to the governor. 15 But the earlier governors—those preceding me—placed a heavy burden on the people and took forty shekels[a] of silver from them in addition to food and wine. Their assistants also lorded it over the people. But out of reverence for God(R) I did not act like that. 16 Instead,(S) I devoted myself to the work on this wall. All my men were assembled there for the work; we[b] did not acquire any land.
17 Furthermore, a hundred and fifty Jews and officials ate at my table, as well as those who came to us from the surrounding nations. 18 Each day one ox, six choice sheep and some poultry(T) were prepared for me, and every ten days an abundant supply of wine of all kinds. In spite of all this, I never demanded the food allotted to the governor, because the demands were heavy on these people.
19 Remember(U) me with favor, my God, for all I have done for these people.

尼希米幫助窮苦人
5 那時，民眾和他們的妻子都抱怨他們的猶太同胞。 2 有的說：「我們和我們的兒女人口眾多，需要糧食來活命。」 3 有的說：「因為饑荒的緣故，我們要將田地、葡萄園和房屋作抵押來獲取糧食。」 4 有的說：「我們要借錢才能繳納王對我們的田地和葡萄園徵收的稅。 5 我們和他們是同胞，我們的孩子就像他們的孩子。但現在我們的兒女要被迫成為僕婢，甚至我們的女兒有些已經淪為奴婢。我們卻無能為力，因為我們的田地和葡萄園已經歸別人了。」
6 聽到他們的抱怨後，我非常憤怒。 7 經過深思熟慮後，我便斥責這些貴族和官員，說：「你們竟然向同胞放高利貸！」於是我召開大會處理他們的問題。 8 我對他們說：「我們在盡力贖回那些被賣到外邦的猶太同胞，你們卻要賣他們為奴，好讓我們再贖回他們嗎？」他們都沉默不語，無言以對。 9 我繼續說：「你們的所作所為實在不對。難道你們不應該敬畏上帝，以免我們的仇敵凌辱我們嗎？ 10 我和我的兄弟及僕人都借錢、借糧給民眾，現在我們要停止放高利貸。 11 你們今天就要歸還他們的田地、葡萄園、橄欖園和房屋，以及你們向他們所收的五穀、新酒和油的利息。」
12 他們說：「我們會照你的話去做，把東西還給他們，不再向他們索債。」於是，我召來祭司，讓這些人起誓遵守自己的諾言。 13 我抖著衣服說：「如果你們不守誓言，願上帝也這樣抖掉你們的家園和你們勞碌得來的，使你們一無所有。」全體會眾都說：「阿們！」他們讚美耶和華，民眾都遵照誓言去行。
尼希米大公無私
14 從亞達薛西王二十年至三十二年，也就是我奉派為猶大省長的十二年間，我和我的弟兄都沒有吃省長的俸祿。 15 在我之前的省長使民眾負擔沉重，天天索取食物、酒及五百克銀子。他們的僕人也欺壓民眾，但我因敬畏上帝而沒有這樣做。 16 我全心修築城牆，沒有購置田產，我的僕人也都參與修建城牆的工作。 17 除了從周圍外邦來到我們這裡的人之外，還有一百五十名猶太人和官員與我一同吃飯。 18 我每天需要預備一頭公牛、六隻肥羊和飛禽；每十天還要大量供應各樣酒品。即使這樣，我仍然沒有吃省長的俸祿，因為民眾已經負擔沉重。 19 我的上帝啊，求你記念我為這些民眾所做的一切，施恩於我。

King James Version
5 And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews.
2 For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live.
3 Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth.
4 There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards.
5 Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them; for other men have our lands and vineyards.
6 And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.
7 Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them.
8 And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answer.
9 Also I said, It is not good that ye do: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?
10 I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this usury.
11 Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them.
12 Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise.
13 Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen, and praised the Lord. And the people did according to this promise.
14 Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor.
15 But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God.
16 Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered thither unto the work.
17 Moreover there were at my table an hundred and fifty of the Jews and rulers, beside those that came unto us from among the heathen that are about us.
18 Now that which was prepared for me daily was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this required not I the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people.
19 Think upon me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.
