Nehemías 5

Bible PGR

15Car les premiers gouverneurs, mes prédécesseurs, avaient opprimé le peuple, et reçu de lui du pain et du vin outre quarante sicles d'argent ; leurs écuyers aussi tyrannisaient le peuple. Mais moi je n'agis point ainsi, par crainte de Dieu.

Reina-Valera 1909

15Mas los primeros gobernadores que fueron antes de mí, cargaron al pueblo, y tomaron de ellos por el pan y por el vino sobre cuarenta siclos de plata: á más de esto, sus criados se enseñoreaban sobre el pueblo; pero yo no hice así, á causa del temor de Dios.

King James Version

15But 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.

World English Bible

15But the former governors who were before me were supported by the people, and took bread and wine from them, plus forty shekels of silver; yes, even their servants ruled over the people, but I didn’t do so, because of the fear of God.
