1About that time there was a great outcry from the people and their wives against their fellow Jews.
1И стаде велика вика људи и жена на браћу њихову Јудејце.
2Some were saying, “We and our sons and daughters are numerous. We must get grain in order to eat and stay alive.”
2Јер неки говораху: Нас и синова наших и кћери наших има много; да добавимо жита да једемо и останемо живи.
3Others were saying, “We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards, and our homes to get grain during the famine.”
3Други опет говораху: Да заложимо поља своја и винограде и куће да добијемо жита у овој глади.
4Still others were saying, “We have borrowed money to pay the king’s tax on our fields and vineyards.
4Још други говораху, да узајмимо новаца на поља своја и винограде за данак царски.
5We and our children are just like our countrymen and their children, yet we are subjecting our sons and daughters to slavery. Some of our daughters are already enslaved, but we are powerless to redeem them because our fields and vineyards belong to others.”
5А тело је наше као тело браће наше, синови наши као њихови синови и ето треба да дамо синове своје и кћери своје у робље, и неке кћери наше већ су робиње, а ми не можемо ништа, јер поља наша и винограде наше држе други.
6When I heard their outcry and these complaints, I became extremely angry,
6Зато се расрдих врло кад чух вику њихову и те речи.
7and after serious thought I rebuked the nobles and officials, saying, “You are exacting usury from your own brothers!” So I called a large assembly against them
7И смислих у срцу свом и укорих кнезове и поглаваре, и рекох им: Ви мећете бремена сваки на брата свог. И сазвах велики збор њих ради.
8and said, “We have done our best to buy back our Jewish brothers who were sold to foreigners, but now you are selling your own brothers, that they may be sold back to us!” But they remained silent, for they could find nothing to say.
8И рекох им: Ми откуписмо колико могасмо браћу своју Јудејце што беху продани народима; а ви ли ћете продавати браћу своју или ћете се продавати нама? А они умукоше и не нађоше шта би одговорили.
9So I continued, “What you are doing is not right. Shouldn’t you walk in the fear of our God to avoid the reproach of our foreign enemies?
9И рекох: Није добро шта радите. Не треба ли вам ходити у страху Бога нашег да нам се не ругају народи, непријатељи наши?
10I, as well as my brothers and my servants, have been lending the people money and grain. Please, let us stop this usury.
10И ја и браћа моја и момци моји давали смо им новаца и жита; али опростимо им тај дуг.
11Please restore to them immediately their fields, vineyards, olive groves, and houses, along with the percentage of the money, grain, new wine, and oil that you have been assessing them.”
11Хајде вратите им данас поља њихова и винограде и маслинике и куће и што им на стотину узимасте од новца и жита и вина и уља.
12“We will restore it,” they replied, “and will require nothing more from them. We will do as you say.” So I summoned the priests and required of the nobles and officials an oath that they would do what they had promised.
12А они одговорише: Вратићемо и нећемо искати од њих; учинићемо како велиш. Тада сазвах свештенике, и заклех их да ће тако учинити.
13I also shook out the folds of my robe and said, “May God likewise shake out of His house and possession every man who does not keep this promise. May such a man be shaken out and have nothing!” The whole assembly said, “Amen,” and they praised the LORD. And the people did as they had promised.
13И истресох недра своја и рекох: Овако да истресе Бог сваког из куће његове и из труда његовог ко год не испуни ове речи, и овако да се истресе и буде празан. И сав збор рече: Амин. И хвалише Господа, и учини народ по тој речи.
14Furthermore, from the day King Artaxerxes appointed me to be their governor in the land of Judah, from his twentieth year until his thirty-second year (twelve years total), neither I nor my brothers ate the food allotted to the governor.
14И откад ми цар заповеди да им будем управитељ у земљи Јудиној, од године двадесете до тридесет друге године цара Артаксеркса, дванаест година, ја и браћа моја не једосмо хране управитељске.
15The governors before me had heavily burdened the people, taking from them bread and wine plus forty shekels of silver. Their servants also oppressed the people, but I did not do this because of my fear of God.
15А пређашњи управитељи који беху пре мене беху тешки народу узимајући од њега хлеб и вино осим четрдесет сикала сребра, и слуге њихове заповедаху по народу. Али ја тако не чиних бојећи се Бога.
16Instead, I devoted myself to the construction of the wall, and all my servants were gathered there for the work; we did not acquire any land.
16Него и око грађења зида радих, и не куписмо њиве; и сви момци моји беху скупа онде на послу.
17There were 150 Jews and officials at my table, besides the guests from the surrounding nations.
17И Јудејаца и поглавара сто и педесет људи и који долажаху к нама из околних народа беху за мојим столом.
18Each day one ox, six choice sheep, and some fowl were prepared for me, and once every ten days an abundance of all kinds of wine was provided. But I did not demand the food allotted to the governor, because the burden on the people was so heavy.
18И готовљаше се сваки дан по једно говече, шест оваца, избраних, и птице готовљаху ми се, и сваких десет дана даваше се свакојаког вина изобила. И опет не исках хране управитељске; јер служба беше тешка народу.
19Remember me favorably, O my God, for all that I have done for this people.
19Помени ме Боже мој на добро за све што сам чинио овом народу.
