1. KJV King James Version

   14 Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor. 15 But 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. 16 Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered thither unto the work. 17 Moreover there were at my table an hundred and fifty of the Jews and rulers, beside those that came unto us from among the heathen that are about us. 18 Now that which was prepared for me daily was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this required not I the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people. 19 Think upon me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.

2. NIV New International Version

   14 Moreover, from the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, until his thirty-second year—twelve years—neither I nor my brothers ate the food allotted to the governor. 15 But the earlier governors—those preceding me—placed a heavy burden on the people and took forty shekels*5:15 That is, about 1 pound or about 460 grams of silver from them in addition to food and wine. Their assistants also lorded it over the people. But out of reverence for God I did not act like that. 16 Instead, I devoted myself to the work on this wall. All my men were assembled there for the work; we*5:16 Most Hebrew manuscripts; some Hebrew manuscripts, Septuagint, Vulgate and Syriac I did not acquire any land.

   17 Furthermore, a hundred and fifty Jews and officials ate at my table, as well as those who came to us from the surrounding nations. 18 Each day one ox, six choice sheep and some poultry were prepared for me, and every ten days an abundant supply of wine of all kinds. In spite of all this, I never demanded the food allotted to the governor, because the demands were heavy on these people.

   19 Remember me with favor, my God, for all I have done for these people.

3. ESV English Standard Version

   14 Moreover, from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from *ch. 2:1the twentieth year to *ch. 13:6the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes the king, twelve years, *[2 Thess. 3:8]neither I nor my brothers ate the food allowance of the governor. 15 The former governors who were before me laid heavy burdens on the people and took from them for their daily ration*5:15 Compare Vulgate; Hebrew took from them for food and wine after forty shekels*5:15 A shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 grams of silver. Even their servants lorded it over the people. But I did not do so, *ver. 9because of the fear of God. 16 I also persevered in the work on this wall, and we acquired no land, and all my servants were gathered there for the work. 17 Moreover, there were *[2 Sam. 9:7,10]; 1 Kgs. 18:19at my table 150 men, Jews and officials, besides those who came to us from the nations that were around us. 18 *[1 Kgs. 4:22,23] Now what was prepared at my expense*5:18 Or prepared for me for each day was one ox and six choice sheep and birds, and every ten days all kinds of wine in abundance. Yet for all this *[See ver. 14above]I did not demand the food allowance of the governor, because the service was too heavy on this people. 19 *ch. 13:14,22,31Remember for my good, O my God, all that I have done for this people.

4. NLT New Living Translation

   14 For the entire twelve years that I was governor of Judah—from the twentieth year to the thirty-second year of the reign of King Artaxerxes*5:14 That is, 445–433 b.c.—neither I nor my officials drew on our official food allowance. 15 The former governors, in contrast, had laid heavy burdens on the people, demanding a daily ration of food and wine, besides forty pieces*5:15 Hebrew 40 shekels [1 pound or 456 grams]. of silver. Even their assistants took advantage of the people. But because I feared God, I did not act that way.

   16 I also devoted myself to working on the wall and refused to acquire any land. And I required all my servants to spend time working on the wall. 17 I asked for nothing, even though I regularly fed 150 Jewish officials at my table, besides all the visitors from other lands! 18 The provisions I paid for each day included one ox, six choice sheep or goats, and a large number of poultry. And every ten days we needed a large supply of all kinds of wine. Yet I refused to claim the governor’s food allowance because the people already carried a heavy burden.

   19 Remember, O my God, all that I have done for these people, and bless me for it.

5. NKJV Nova Versão King James

   14 Moreover, from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year *Neh. 2:1; 13:6until the thirty-second year of King Artaxerxes, twelve years, neither I nor my brothers *(1 Cor. 9:4–15)ate the governor’s provisions. 15 But the former governors who were before me laid burdens on the people, and took from them bread and wine, besides forty shekels of silver. Yes, even their servants bore rule over the people, but *2 Cor. 11:9; 12:13I did not do so, because of the *Neh. 5:9fear of God. 16 Indeed, I also continued the *Neh. 4:1; 6:1work on this wall, and we did not buy any land. All my servants were gathered there for the work.

   17 And *2 Sam. 9:7; 1 Kin. 18:19at my table were one hundred and fifty Jews and rulers, besides those who came to us from the nations around us. 18 Now that*1 Kin. 4:22which was prepared daily was one ox and six choice sheep. Also fowl were prepared for me, and once every ten days an abundance of all kinds of wine. Yet in spite of this I *Neh. 5:14, 15did not demand the governor’s provisions, because the bondage was heavy on this people.

   19 *2 Kin. 20:3; Neh. 13:14, 22, 31Remember me, my God, for good, accordingto all that I have done for this people.

Their subordinates also oppressed the people, but because of the fear of God, I didn’t do this.  * 5:15 Lv 25:3616 Instead, I devoted myself to the construction of this wall,  * 5:16 Neh 4:1; 6:1; 2Th 3:7–10 and all my subordinates were gathered there for the work. We didn’t buy any land.  * 5:16 Neh 5:3,7,11

   17 There were 150 Jews and officials, as well as guests from the surrounding nations at my table.  * 5:17 1Kg 4:27; 18:1918 Each  * 5:18 Lit And that which was prepared each day, one ox, six choice sheep, and some fowl were prepared for me. An abundance of all kinds of wine was provided every ten days.  * 5:18 1Kg 4:22–23 But I didn’t demand the food allotted to the governor, because the burden on the people was so heavy.

   19 Remember me favorably, my God, for all that I have done for this people.  * 5:19 Neh 13:14,22,31

   14 And from the day, in which the king commanded me to be governor in the land of Juda, from the twentieth year even to the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, for twelve years, I and my brethren did not eat the yearly allowance that was due to the governors. 15 But the former governors that had been before me, were chargeable to the people, and took of them in bread, and wine, and in money every day forty sides: and their officers also oppressed the people. But I did not so for the fear of God. 16 Moreover I built in the work of the wall, and I bought no land, and all my servants were gathered together to the work. 17 The Jews also and the magistrates to the number of one hundred and fifty men, were at my table, besides them that came to us from among the nations that were round about us. 18 And there was prepared for me day by day one ox, and six choice rams, besides fowls, and once in ten days I gave store of divers wines, and many other things: yet I did not require my yearly allowance as governor: for the people were very much impoverished. 19 Remember me, O my God, for good according to all that I have done for this people.

8. MSG The Message

   14-16 From the time King Artaxerxes appointed me as their governor in the land of Judah—from the twentieth to the thirty-second year of his reign, twelve years—neither I nor my brothers used the governor’s food allowance. Governors who had preceded me had oppressed the people by taxing them forty shekels of silver (about a pound) a day for food and wine while their underlings bullied the people unmercifully. But out of fear of God I did none of that. I had work to do; I worked on this wall. All my men were on the job to do the work. We didn’t have time to line our own pockets.

   17,18 I fed 150 Jews and officials at my table in addition to those who showed up from the surrounding nations. One ox, six choice sheep, and some chickens were prepared for me daily, and every ten days a large supply of wine was delivered. Even so, I didn’t use the food allowance provided for the governor—the people had it hard enough as it was.

   19 Remember in my favor, O my God,

   Everything I’ve done for these people.
