Kniha Nehemiášova

1 (KAT) Strhol sa veľký krik ľudu a ich žien proti svojim súkmeňovcom Židom.
1 (VUL) Et factus est clamor populi et uxorum eius magnus adversus fratres suos Iudaeos.
1 (UKJV) And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews.

2 (KAT) Jedni vraveli: „Máme veľa synov a dcér, musíme si zadovážiť zbožie, lebo nám treba jesť, aby sme si zachovali život.“
2 (VUL) Et erant qui dicerent: “ Filios nostros et filias nostras pignoravimus, ut acciperemus frumentum et comederemus et viveremus! ”.
2 (UKJV) 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.

3 (KAT) Druhí povedali: „Musíme dať do zálohu svoje polia, vinice a domy, aby sme si opatrili zbožie, lebo hladujeme.“
3 (VUL) Et erant qui dicerent: “ Agros nostros et vineas et domos nostras opposuimus, ut acciperemus frumentum in fame! ”.
3 (UKJV) Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth.

4 (KAT) Iní zasa hovorili: „Nútení sme požičať si peniaze na kráľovskú daň a pozakladať svoje polia so svojimi vinohradmi.
4 (VUL) Et alii dicebant: “ Mutuo sumpsimus pecunias in tributa regis pro agris nostris et vineis nostris.
4 (UKJV) There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards.

5 (KAT) Veď naše telo je také isté ako telo našich bratov. Aké sú ich deti, také isté sú aj naše deti, a my musíme nielen svojich synov, lež i svoje dcéry uvrhovať do poroby. Podaktoré z našich dcér sa už i stali nevoľnicami a my si nemôžeme pomôcť, lebo naše pozemky a vinohrady majú iní.“
5 (VUL) Et nunc sicut caro fratrum nostrorum sic caro nostra est, et sicut filii eorum ita et filii nostri; ecce nos subiugamus filios nostros et filias nostras in servitutem, et de filiabus nostris quaedam iam in servitute subiugatae sunt, nec habemus unde possint redimi, quia agros nostros et vineas nostras alii possident ”.
5 (UKJV) "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. "

6 (KAT) Rozsrdil som sa veľmi, keď som počul ich krik a tieto ich reči.
6 (VUL) Et iratus sum nimis, cum audissem clamorem eorum secundum verba haec.
6 (UKJV) And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.

7 (KAT) Zaumienil som si, že sa pustím do šľachty a predstavených a poviem im: „Vy všetci ste úžerníci voči svojim bratom!“ Zvolal som veľké zhromaždenie proti nim
7 (VUL) Cogitavique in corde meo et increpavi optimates et magistratus et dixi eis: “ Usuras singuli a fratribus vestris exigitis! ”. Et congregavi adversum eos contionem magnam
7 (UKJV) Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, All of you exact interest, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them.

8 (KAT) a povedal som im: „My sme vykupovali svojich bratov Židov, ktorí boli predávaní pohanom, ako nám len bolo možné. A vy sami predávate svojich bratov! A predávajú ich našincom!“ Mlčali a nevedeli odpovedať.
8 (VUL) et dixi eis: “ Nos, ut scitis, redemimus fratres nostros Iudaeos, qui venditi fuerant gentibus, secundum possibilitatem nostram; quin potius et vos vendetis fratres vestros, ut vendentur nobis? ”. Et siluerunt nec invenerunt quid responderent.
8 (UKJV) "And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will all of you even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answer. "

9 (KAT) Povedal som ďalej: „To, čo robíte, je nesprávne. Prečo nekráčate v bázni pred naším Bohom, aby nás naši nepriatelia, pohania, nepotupovali?
9 (VUL) Dixique ad eos: “ Non est bona res, quam facitis. Quare non in timore Dei nostri ambulatis, ne exprobretur nobis a gentibus inimicis nostris?
9 (UKJV) Also I said, It is not good that all of you do: ought all of you not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?

10 (KAT) Veď i ja, i moji bratia, ba i moji služobníci požičiavali sme mnohým peniaze a obilie! Nože, odpusťte im túto pohľadávku!
10 (VUL) Et ego et fratres mei et pueri mei commodavimus plurimis pecuniam et frumentum; non repetamus usuras istas.
10 (UKJV) I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this interest.

11 (KAT) Vráťte im, prosím, ešte dnes ich pozemky, ich vinice, ich olivové sady a ich domy! Odpusťte im aj stú čiastku za peniaze, obilie mušt a olej, ktoré ste im požičali!“
11 (VUL) Reddite eis hodie agros suos et vineas suas et oliveta sua et domos suas et centesimam pecuniae frumenti vini et olei, quam exigere soletis ab eis ”.
11 (UKJV) Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their olive yards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that all of you exact of them.

12 (KAT) Odvetili: „Vrátime a nebudeme nič požadovať od nich. Urobíme, ako vravíš.“ Zavolal som kňazov a vyžiadal som od nich prísahu, že budú konať podľa tohto sľubu.
12 (VUL) Et dixerunt: “ Reddemus et ab eis nihil quaeremus; sicque faciemus, ut loqueris ”. Et vocavi sacerdotes et feci eos iurare, ut facerent, sicut dictum erat.
12 (UKJV) "Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do as you say. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise. "

13 (KAT) Vytriasol som náber svojho rúcha a povedal som: „Nech takto povytriasa Boh každého, kto nedodrží toto slovo, z jeho domova a z jeho majetku! Takisto nech je vytrasený a takisto nech je prázdny!“ Celá obec vyslovila: „Amen!“ a chválili Boha. A ľud toto rozhodnutie dodržal.
13 (VUL) Insuper excussi sinum meum et dixi: “ Sic excutiat Deus omnem virum, qui non compleverit verbum istud, de domo sua et de laboribus suis; sic excutiatur et vacuus fiat! ”. Et dixit universa multitudo: “ Amen! ”. Et laudaverunt Deum. Fecit ergo populus, sicut erat dictum.
13 (UKJV) Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performs 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.

14 (KAT) Ba čo viac, odo dňa, keď ma kráľ poveril, aby som bol vladárom v Júdsku od dvadsiateho do tridsiateho druhého roku kráľa Artaxerxa, teda dvanásť rokov -, nežili sme ani ja, ani moji bratia na vladárskom chlebe.
14 (VUL) A die autem illa, qua praeceperat rex mihi, ut essem dux in terra Iudae, ab anno vicesimo usque ad annum tricesimum secundum Artaxerxis regis, per annos duodecim ego et fratres mei annonas, quae ducibus debebantur, non comedimus.
14 (UKJV) 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.

15 (KAT) Minulí vladári, moji predchodcovia, znamenali pre ľud veľkú ťarchu. Brali od nich na stravu a víno po štyridsať šeklov striebra denne. Ešte aj ich podriadení úradníci gniavili ľud. No ja som to nerobil, lebo som sa bál Boha.
15 (VUL) Duces autem priores, qui fuerant ante me, gravaverunt populum et acceperunt ab eis cotidie pro pane siclos argenti quadraginta; sed et ministri eorum depresserunt populum. Ego autem non feci ita propter timorem Dei,
15 (UKJV) "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. "

16 (KAT) Ešte aj pri oprave múru som priložil ruku k dielu. Nenakúpili sme poľa a všetci moji služobníci chodili na stavbu.
16 (VUL) quin potius in opere muri restauravi et agrum non emi; et omnes pueri mei congregati ad opus erant.
16 (UKJV) 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.

17 (KAT) Pritom Židia, ktorí boli na vedúcich miestach, stopäťdesiat osôb, i tí, čo k nám prichádzali z okolitých národov, usádzali sa k môjmu stolu.
17 (VUL) Iudaei quoque et magistratus, centum quinquaginta viri, et qui veniebant ad nos de gentibus, quae in circuitu nostro sunt, in mensa mea erant.
17 (UKJV) 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.

18 (KAT) Denne prihotovovali celého býka a šesť vyberaných oviec okrem hydiny, čo mi tiež prihotovovali. Každý desiaty deň bolo množstvo všakového vína. Pri tom všetkom som nepožadoval vladársky plat, lebo na tento ľud ťažko doliehala služba.
18 (VUL) Parabatur autem mihi per dies singulos bos unus, arietes sex electi, exceptis volatilibus; et inter dies decem vina diversa multa. Insuper et annonas ducatus mei non quaesivi; gravis enim erat servitus populi huius.
18 (UKJV) "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. "

19 (KAT) Pamätaj mi, môj Bože, na dobré všetko to, čo som vykonal pre tento ľud!
19 (VUL) Memento mei, Deus meus, in bonum, secundum omnia, quae feci populo huic.
19 (UKJV) Think upon me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.
