| Nehemiah 5 | Ch- | Bk- | Save as | Bk+ | Ch+ | נחמיה |
| ותה֨י צעק֥ת הע֛ם ונשיה֖ם גדול֑ה אל־אחיה֖ם היהודֽים׃ | Neh 5:1 And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews. |
| ויש֙ אש֣ר אמר֔ים בנ֥ינו ובנת֖ינו אנ֣חנו רב֑ים ונקח֥ה דג֖ן ונאכל֥ה ונחיֽה׃ | Neh 5:2 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. |
| ויש֙ אש֣ר אמר֔ים שדת֛ינו וכרמ֥ינו ובת֖ינו אנ֣חנו ערב֑ים ונקח֥ה דג֖ן ברעֽב׃ | Neh 5:3 Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth. |
| ויש֙ אש֣ר אמר֔ים לו֥ינו כ֖סף למד֣ת המ֑לך שדת֖ינו וכרמֽינו׃ | Neh 5:4 There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards. |
| ועת֗ה כבש֤ר אח֙ינו֙ בשר֔נו כבניה֖ם בנ֑ינו והנ֣ה אנ֣חנו כ֠בשים את־בנ֨ינו ואת־בנת֜ינו לעבד֗ים וי֨ש מבנת֤ינו נכבשות֙ וא֣ין לא֣ל יד֔נו ושדת֥ינו וכרמ֖ינו לאחרֽים׃ | Neh 5:5 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. |
| וי֥חר ל֖י מא֑ד כאש֤ר שמ֙עתי֙ את־זֽעקת֔ם וא֖ת הדבר֥ים האֽלה׃ | Neh 5:6 And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words. |
| וימל֨ך לב֜י על֗י ואר֙יבה֙ את־החר֣ים ואת־הסגנ֔ים ואמר֣ה לה֔ם מש֥א איש־באח֖יו את֣ם נש֑אים ואת֥ן עליה֖ם קהל֥ה גדולֽה׃ | Neh 5:7 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. |
| ואמר֣ה לה֗ם אנ֣חנו ק֠נינו את־אח֨ינו היהוד֜ים הנמכר֤ים לגוים֙ כד֣י ב֔נו וגם־את֛ם תמכר֥ו את־אחיכ֖ם ונמכרו־ל֑נו וֽיחר֔ישו ול֥א מצא֖ו דבֽר׃ | Neh 5:8 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. |
| ואומ֕ר לא־ט֥וב הדב֖ר אשר־את֣ם עש֑ים הל֞וא בירא֤ת אלה֙ינו֙ תל֔כו מחרפ֖ת הגוי֥ם אויבֽינו׃ | Neh 5:9 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? |
| וגם־אני֙ אח֣י ונער֔י נש֥ים בה֖ם כ֣סף ודג֑ן נֽעזבה־נ֖א את־המש֥א הזֽה׃ | Neh 5:10 I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this usury. |
| השיבו֩ נ֨א לה֜ם כהי֗ום שדתיה֛ם כרמיה֥ם זיתיה֖ם ובתיה֑ם ומא֨ת הכ֤סף והדגן֙ התיר֣וש והיצה֔ר אש֥ר את֖ם נש֥ים בהֽם׃ | Neh 5:11 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. |
| ויאמר֣ו נש֗יב ומהם֙ ל֣א נבק֔ש כ֣ן נעש֔ה כאש֖ר את֣ה אומ֑ר ואקרא֙ את־הכ֣הנ֔ים וֽאשביע֔ם לעש֖ות כדב֥ר הזֽה׃ | Neh 5:12 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. |
| גם־חצנ֣י נע֗רתי וֽאמר֡ה כ֣כה ינע֪ר הֽאלה֟ים את־כל־האיש֩ אש֨ר לֽא־יק֜ים את־הדב֣ר הז֗ה מביתו֙ ומ֣יגיע֔ו וכ֛כה יהי֥ה נע֖ור ור֑ק ויאמר֨ו כֽל־הקה֜ל אמ֗ן וֽיהללו֙ את־יהו֔ה וי֥עש הע֖ם כדב֥ר הזֽה׃ | Neh 5:13 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. |
| ג֞ם מי֣ום׀ אשר־צו֣ה את֗י להי֣ות פחם֘ בא֣רץ יהודה֒ משנ֣ת עשר֗ים ו֠עד שנ֨ת שלש֤ים ושת֙ים֙ לארתחש֣סתא המ֔לך שנ֖ים שת֣ים עשר֑ה אנ֣י ואח֔י ל֥חם הפ֖חה ל֥א אכֽלתי׃ | Neh 5:14 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. |
| והפחות֩ הראשנ֨ים אשר־לפנ֜י הכב֣ידו על־הע֗ם ויקח֨ו מה֜ם בל֤חם וי֙ין֙ אחר֙ כֽסף־שקל֣ים ארבע֔ים ג֥ם נעריה֖ם שלט֣ו על־הע֑ם ואני֙ לא־עש֣יתי כ֔ן מפנ֖י ירא֥ת אלהֽים׃ | Neh 5:15 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. |
| ו֠גם במל֜אכת החומ֤ה הזאת֙ החז֔קתי ושד֖ה ל֣א קנ֑ינו וכל־נער֔י קבוצ֥ים ש֖ם על־המלאכֽה׃ | Neh 5:16 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. |
| והיהוד֨ים והסגנ֜ים מא֧ה וחמש֣ים א֗יש והבא֥ים אל֛ינו מן־הגוי֥ם אשר־סביבת֖ינו על־שלחנֽי׃ | Neh 5:17 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. |
| ואשר֩ הי֨ה נעש֜ה לי֣ום אח֗ד ש֣ור אח֞ד צ֠אן שש־ברר֤ות וצפרים֙ נֽעשו־ל֔י וב֨ין עש֧רת ימ֛ים בכל־י֖ין להרב֑ה ועם־ז֗ה ל֤חם הפחה֙ ל֣א בק֔שתי כֽי־כֽבד֥ה העבד֖ה על־הע֥ם הזֽה׃ | Neh 5:18 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. |
| זכרה־ל֥י אלה֖י לטוב֑ה כ֥ל אשר־עש֖יתי על־הע֥ם הזֽה׃ | Neh 5:19 Think upon me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people. |
