Then there arose a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brothers the Jews. 另见: 依撒意亚 5:7申命纪 15:7-11路加福音 18:7For there were some who said, “We, our sons and our daughters, are many. Let us get grain, that we may eat and live.” 另见: 圣咏集 128:2-4玛拉基亚 2:2创世纪 42:2There were also some who said, “We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards, and our houses. Let us get grain, because of the famine.” 另见: 肋未纪 25:35-39玛拉基亚 3:8-11申命纪 15:7There were also some who said, “We have borrowed money for the king’s tribute using our fields and our vineyards as collateral. 另见: 厄斯德拉上 4:13厄斯德拉上 4:20申命纪 28:47-48Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brothers, our children as their children. Behold, we bring our sons and our daughters into bondage to be servants, and some of our daughters have been brought into bondage. It is also not in our power to help it, because other men have our fields and our vineyards.” 另见: 肋未纪 25:39-43列王纪下 4:1依撒意亚 58:7I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words. 另见: 出谷纪 11:8厄斯德拉下 13:25户籍纪 16:15Then I consulted with myself, and contended with the nobles and the rulers, and said to them, “You exact usury, everyone of his brother.” I held a great assembly against them. 另见: 申命纪 23:19-20肋未纪 25:36出谷纪 22:25I said to them, “We, after our ability, have redeemed our brothers the Jews that were sold to the nations; and would you even sell your brothers, and should they be sold to us?” Then they held their peace, and found not a word to say. 另见: 肋未纪 25:47-49格林多后书 8:12申命纪 24:7Also I said, “The thing that you do is not good. Shouldn’t you walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the nations, our enemies? 另见: 肋未纪 25:36撒慕尔纪下 12:14罗马人书 2:24I likewise, my brothers and my servants, lend them money and grain. Please let us stop this usury. 另见: 格林多后书 6:1出谷纪 22:25-27格林多后书 5:11Please restore to them, even today, their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, that you are charging them.” 另见: 依撒意亚 58:6肋未纪 6:4-5撒慕尔纪上 12:3Then they said, “We will restore them, and will require nothing of them. We will do so, even as you say.” Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they would do according to this promise. 另见: 厄斯德拉上 10:5耶肋米亚 34:8-10厄斯德拉上 10:12Also I shook out my lap, and said, “So may God shake out every man from his house, and from his labor, that doesn’t perform this promise; even may he be shaken out and emptied like this.” All the assembly said, “Amen,” and praised the LORD. The people did according to this promise. 另见: 宗徒大事录 18:6玛窦福音 10:14匝加利亚 5:3-4Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even to the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brothers have not eaten the bread of the governor. 另见: 厄斯德拉下 13:6格林多前书 9:4-15得撒洛尼后书 3:8-9But 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. 另见: 厄斯德拉下 5:9箴言 16:6依撒意亚 50:10Yes, I also continued in the work of this wall. We didn’t buy any land. All my servants were gathered there to the work. 另见: 迦拉达书 6:9斐理伯书 2:20-21得撒洛尼前书 2:5-6Moreover there were at my table, of the Jews and the rulers, one hundred fifty men, in addition to those who came to us from among the nations that were around us. 另见: 列王纪上 18:19撒慕尔纪下 9:7伯多禄前书 4:9-10Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep. Also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days a store of all sorts of wine. Yet for all this, I didn’t demand the governor’s pay, because the bondage was heavy on this people. 另见: 列王纪上 4:22-23圣咏集 37:21圣咏集 37:26Remember me, my God, for all the good that I have done for this people. 另见: 厄斯德拉下 13:31圣咏集 106:4厄斯德拉下 13:14

注释为英文 George Leo Haydock 神父的 19 世纪天主教注释,按原版呈现。
这些注释保留了其时代的论争:有些对犹太民族或其他基督徒措辞严厉。今天教会的训导并非如此:不可把基督之死归咎于犹太民族(《教会对非基督宗教态度宣言》4;《天主教教理》597–598),其他团体的基督徒是我们在主内的弟兄姊妹(《大公主义法令》3)。 基督徒合一
