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 as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. 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.

OET (OET-RV) “Okay, we’ll do what you’re asking,” they responded. “We’ll return their property and we won’t impose any more charges on them.”
¶ So I called the priests to witness those nobles and officials making an oath to do what they’d said they would do.

5:12 made the nobles and officials swear: Both God and the community would hold them accountable.
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](../05/11.md). 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.]
