TSNTyndale Study Notes:

5:12 made the nobles and officials swear: Both God and the community would hold them accountable.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יֹּאמְר֣וּ

and=they_said

They means the leading citizens and the city officials. Alternate translation: “These leaders replied”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

נָשִׁ֗יב

restore

The implication is that they will return the fields, vineyards, olive orchards, and houses that they took from the poor, as Nehemiah demanded in 5:11. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “We will give back their fields, vineyards, olive orchards, and houses”

וּ⁠מֵ⁠הֶם֙ לֹ֣א נְבַקֵּ֔שׁ

and,from,them not require

Alternate translation: “And we will stop charging them interest”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

נַעֲשֶׂ֔ה כַּ⁠אֲשֶׁ֖ר אַתָּ֣ה אוֹמֵ֑ר

do just=as you(ms) say

If it would be helpful in your language, you could put this statement first, since it is the reason for the results that follow, the return of property and the cancelling of interest. Alternate translation: “Yes, we will do what you say”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וָ⁠אֶקְרָא֙ אֶת־הַ⁠כֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים וָֽ⁠אַשְׁבִּיעֵ֔⁠ם לַ⁠עֲשׂ֖וֹת כַּ⁠דָּבָ֥ר הַ⁠זֶּֽה

and,called DOM the,priests and,take_an_oath,them for=doing as_the,promised the,this

The implication is that the priests would have these leaders swear an oath before God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “Then I called the priests, and I made the leaders swear to God in front of them that they would do what they had promised.”
