Charging Interest Abolished
1百姓和他们的妻大大呼号，埋怨他们的弟兄犹大人。2有的说：「我们和儿女人口众多，要去得粮食度命」；3有的说：「我们典了田地、葡萄园、房屋，要得粮食充饥」；4有的说：「我们已经指着田地、葡萄园，借了钱给王纳税。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。」
1Now there was a great outcry of the people and of their wives against their Jewish brothers. 2For there were those who said, “We, our sons, and our daughters are many; therefore let’s get grain so that we may eat and live.” 3And there were others who said, “We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards, and our houses so that we might get grain because of the famine.” 4There also were those who said, “We have borrowed money for the king’s tax on our fields and our vineyards. 5“And now our flesh is like the flesh of our brothers, our children like their children. Yet behold, we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters are forced into bondage already, and we are helpless because our fields and vineyards belong to others.”
6我听见他们呼号说这些话，便甚发怒。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。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，使我们赎回来吗？」他们就静默不语，无话可答。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。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。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。」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。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。
6Then I was very angry when I heard their outcry and these words. 7So I thought it over and contended with the nobles and the leading people, and said to them, “You are lending at interest, each to his brother!” Therefore, I held a great assembly against them. 8And I said to them, “We, according to our ability, have redeemed our Jewish brothers who were sold to the nations; now would you even sell your brothers that they may be sold to us?” Then they were silent and could not find a word to say. 9So I said, “The thing which you are doing is not good; should you not walk in the fear of our God because of the taunting of the nations, our enemies? 10“And likewise I, my brothers, and my servants are lending them money and grain. Please, let’s do without this interest. 11“Please, give back to them this very day their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, as well as the hundredth part of the money and of the grain, the new wine, and the oil that you are charging as interest from them.” 12Then they said, “We will give it back and will require nothing from them; we will do exactly as you say.” So I called the priests and made them take an oath to act in accordance with this promise. 13I also shook out the front of my garment and said, “So may God shake out every person from his house and from his possessions who does not keep this promise; just so may he be shaken out and emptied.” And all the assembly said, “Amen!” And they praised the LORD. Then the people acted in accordance with this promise.
Nehemiah’s Example
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。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。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。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。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。19我的神啊，求你记念我为这百姓所行的一切事，施恩与我。
14Furthermore, since the day that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year to the thirty-second year of King Artaxerxes, for twelve years, neither I nor my kinsmen have eaten the governor’s food allowance. 15But the previous governors who were before me laid burdens on the people and took from them bread and wine besides forty shekels of silver; even their servants domineered the people. But I did not do so because of my fear of God. 16I also applied myself to the work on this wall; we did not buy any land, and all my servants were gathered there for the work. 17Moreover, there were at my table 150 Jews and officials, besides those who came to us from the nations that were around us. 18Now that which was prepared for each day was one ox and six choice sheep; also birds were prepared for me, and every ten days all sorts of wine were provided in abundance. Yet for all this I did not request the governor’s food allowance, because the forced labor was heavy on this people. 19Remember me, my God, for good, in return for all that I have done for this people.
