‏ Nehemiah 5:2-7

2 aBaadhi yao walikuwa wakisema, “Sisi na wana wetu na binti zetu tuko wengi. Ili tuweze kula na kuishi, ni lazima tupate nafaka.”

3 bWengine walikuwa wakisema, “Tunaweka rehani mashamba yetu, mashamba ya mizabibu, na nyumba zetu ili tupate nafaka wakati wa njaa.”

4 cBado kukawa na wengine waliokuwa wakisema, “Ilitubidi tukope fedha ili kulipa kodi ya mfalme kwa ajili ya mashamba yetu na mashamba yetu ya mizabibu. 5 dIngawa sisi ni mwili na damu moja sawa na watu wa nchi yetu, na ijapo wana wetu ni wazuri kama wana wao, bado inatupasa kuwatoa wana wetu na binti zetu kwenye utumwa. Baadhi ya binti zetu wameshakuwa watumwa tayari, lakini hatuna uwezo wa kuwakomboa, kwa sababu mashamba yetu na mashamba ya mizabibu yetu ni mali ya wengine.”

6 eNiliposikia kilio chao na malalamiko haya, nilikasirika sana. 7 fNikayatafakari katika akili yangu, nikiwalaumu wakuu na maafisa. Nikawaambia, “Mnawaonea ndugu zenu kwa kuwatoza riba!” Basi nikaitisha mkutano mkubwa ili kuwashughulikia
