Nehemiah 5:18 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015
Kila siku niliandaliwa maksai mmoja, kondoo sita wazuri, na kuku, na mvinyo wa kila aina kwa wingi kila baada ya siku kumi. Licha ya mambo haya yote, sikudai chakula kilichokuwa fungu la mtawala, kwa sababu madai yalikuwa mazito sana kwa watu hawa.

Nehemiah 5:18 · Berean Standard Bible
Each day one ox, six choice sheep, and some fowl were prepared for me, and once every ten days an abundance of all kinds of wine was provided. But I did not demand the food allotted to the governor, because the burden on the people was so heavy.
Context
16Badala yake, nilijitoa kwa bidii katika kazi ya ukuta huu. Watu wangu wote walikutanika pale kwa ajili ya kazi. Hatukujipatia shamba lolote. 17Zaidi ya hayo, Wayahudi na maafisa 150 walikula mezani pangu, pamoja na wale waliotujia kutoka mataifa jirani. 18Kila siku niliandaliwa maksai mmoja, kondoo sita wazuri, na kuku, na mvinyo wa kila aina kwa wingi kila baada ya siku kumi. Licha ya mambo haya yote, sikudai chakula kilichokuwa fungu la mtawala, kwa sababu madai yalikuwa mazito sana kwa watu hawa. 19Unikumbuke kwa fadhili, Ee Mungu wangu, kwa yote niliyofanya kwa ajili ya watu hawa.
