Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

(Reddite to_them hodie agros suos, and vineas suas, and oliveta sua, and domos suas: quin rather and centesimum pecuniæ, frumenti, vini and olei, how exigere soletis away eis, date for illis. )
5:11 Nehemiah demanded that the rich lenders restore their fields and repay the interest (literally the hundredth part), which they should not have collected (see also Exod 22:25; Lev 25:35-37). The literal hundredth part suggests that the interest was one percent per month, lower than the twenty percent annual rate found in some documents of that time, or the sixty percent annual rate charged at Elephantine in Egypt. But even a relatively low rate of interest violated God’s covenant.
הָשִׁיבוּ֩ נָ֨א לָהֶ֜ם
restore now to/for=them
This is worded as a polite request, but it is really a demand. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express it with an imperative. “Give them back”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
כְּהַיּ֗וֹם
as,the,day
This does not necessarily mean on this same day, but without waiting. Alternate translation: “Do it right away!”
Note 2 topic: translate-fraction
וּמְאַ֨ת
and=one_hundred
In this context, this expression means “the hundredth part,” or one per cent. In this culture, this was likely charged monthly, so it would have amounted to 12% annual interest. In an economy that was based more on commodities than on cash, this would have been an exorbitant amount. If your culture typically calculates interest at an annual rate, you could express it that way here to help your readers understand the likely meaning. Alternate translation: “the 12% annual interest”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
הַכֶּ֤סֶף
the,money
Silver means “money” here, as in verse 10. Alternate translation: “money”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
נֹשִׁ֥ים בָּהֶֽם
exacting in/on/at/with,them
Alternate translation: “charging them” or “making them pay”
