There were also that said； We have borrowed money for the king's tribute； and that upon our lands and vineyards。
5：5我们的身体与我们弟兄的身体一样。我们的儿女与他们的儿女一般。现在我们将要使儿女作人的仆婢，我们的女儿已有为婢的。我们并无力拯救，因为我们的田地，葡萄园已经归了别人。
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。
5：6我听见他们呼号说这些话，便甚发怒。
And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words。
5：7我心里筹划，就斥责贵胄和官长说，你们各人向弟兄取利。于是我招聚大会攻击他们。
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。
5：8我对他们说，我们尽力赎回我们弟兄，就是卖与外邦的犹大人。你们还要卖弟兄，我们赎回来吗。他们就静默不语，无话可答。
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。
5：9我又说，你们所行的不善。你们行事不当敬畏我们的神吗。不然，难免我们的仇敌外邦人毁谤我们。
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？
5：10我和我的弟兄与仆人，也将银钱粮食借给百姓。我们大家都当免去利息。
I likewise； and my brethren； and my servants； might exact of them money and corn： I pray you； let us leave off this usury。
5：11如今我劝你们将他们的田地，葡萄园，橄榄园，房屋，并向他们所取的银钱，粮食，新酒，和油，百分之一的利息都归还他们。
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。
5：12众人说，我们必归还，不再向他们索要，必照你的话行。我就召了祭司来，叫众人起誓，必照着所应许的而行。
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。
5：13我也抖着胸前的衣襟，说，凡不成就这应许的，愿神照样抖他离开家产和他劳碌得来的，直到抖空了。会众都说，阿们。又赞美耶和华。百姓就照着所应许的去行。
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。
5：14自从我奉派作犹大地的省长，就是从亚达薛西王二十年，直到三十二年，共十二年之久，我与我弟兄都没有吃省长的俸禄。
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。
5：15在我以前的省长加重百姓的担子，每日索要粮食和酒，并银子四十舍客勒，就是他们的仆人也辖制百姓。但我因敬畏神不这样行。
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。
5：16并且我恒心修造城墙，并没有置买田地。我的仆人也都聚集在那里做工。
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。
5：17除了从四围外邦中来的犹大人以外，有犹大平民和官长一百五十人在我席上吃饭。
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。
5：18每日预备一只公牛，六只肥羊，又预备些飞禽。每十日一次，多预备各样的酒。虽然如此，我并不要省长的俸禄，因为百姓服役甚重。
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。
5：19我的神阿，求你记念我为这百姓所行的一切事，施恩与我。
Think upon me； my God； for good； according to all that I have done for this people。
旧约 尼希米记（Nehemiah） 第 6 章 （ 本篇共有 13 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
6：1叁巴拉，多比雅，阿拉伯人基善，和我们其馀的仇敌，听见我已经修完了城墙，其中没有破裂之处（那时我还没有安门扇）。
Now it came to pass； when Sanballat； and Tobiah； and Geshem the Arabian； and the rest of our enemies； heard that I had builded the wall； and that there was no breach left therein； （though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates；）
6：2叁巴拉和基善就打发人来见我，说，请你来，我们在阿挪平原的一个村庄相会。他们却想害我。
That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me； saying； e； let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono。 But they thought to do me mischief。
6：3于是我差遣人去见他们，说，我现在办理大工，不能下去。焉能停工下去见你们呢。
And I sent messengers unto them； saying； I am doing a great work； so that I cannot e down： why should the work cease； whilst I leave it； and e down to you？
6：4他们这样四次打发人来见我，我都如此回答他们。
Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort； and I answered them after the same manner。
6：5叁巴拉第五次打发仆人来见我，手里拿着未封的信，
Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand；
6：6信上写着说，外邦人中有风声，迦施慕（就是基善见二章十九节）也说，你和犹大人谋反，修造城墙，你要作他们的王。
Wherein was written； It is reported among the heathen； and Gashmu saith it； that thou and the Jews think to rebel： for which cause thou buildest the wall； that thou mayest be their king； according to these words。
6：7你又派先知在耶路撒冷指着你宣讲，说在犹大有王。现在这话必传与王知。所以请你来，与我们彼此商议。
And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem； saying； There is a king in Judah： and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words。 e now therefore； and let us take counsel together。
6：8我就差遣人去见他，说，你所说的这事，一概没有，是你心里捏造的。
Then I sent unto him； saying； There are no such things done as thou sayest； but thou feignest them out of thine own heart。
6：9他们都要使我们惧怕，意思说，他们的手必软弱，以致工作不能成就。神阿，求你坚固我的手。
For they all made us afraid； saying； Their hands shall be weakened from the work； that it be not done。 Now therefore； O God； strengthen my hands。
6：10我到了米希大别的孙子，第来雅的儿子示玛雅家里。那时，他闭门不出。他说，我们不如在神的殿里会面，将殿门关锁。因为他们要来杀你，是夜里来杀你。
Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel； who was shut up； and he said； Let us meet together in the house of God； within the temple； and let us shut the doors of the temple： for they will e to slay thee； yea； in the night will they e to slay thee。
6：11我说，像我这样的人岂要逃跑呢。像�
