Byli też jeszcze niektórzy co mówili: Napożyczalichmy pieniędzy na pola i na winnice nasze, żebychmy zapłacili podatek królowi.
I wreszcie byli tacy, którzy się skarżyli: Pożyczyliśmy pieniądze, by opłacić podatek królewski, lecz jako zabezpieczenie musieliśmy dać nasze pola i nasze winnice.
Jeszcze inni mówili: Za role i winnice napożyczaliśmy pieniędzy na podatek dla króla!
Inni zaś mówili: Napożyczaliśmy pieniędzy, żebyśmy dali podatek królowi, zastawiwszy role nasze i winnice nasze.
Jeszcze inni mówili: Pożyczyliśmy pieniądze, aby dać podatek królowi, zastawiając nasze pola i nasze winnice.
Byli wreszcie tacy, którzy mówili: Pożyczyliśmy pieniędzy na opłacenie podatku królowi, zabezpieczając je naszymi polami i naszymi winnicami.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
There were also that said,.... Who though they were able to buy corn for their families without mortgaging their estates: yet, say they,
we have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards; for though the priests, Levites, and Nethinims, were exempted from it, yet not the people in common; and some of these were so poor, that they could not pay it without borrowing upon their estates, and paying large usury for it, see Ezra 6:8
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The king’s tribute - The tax payable to the Persian monarch (compare Ezra 4:13; Esther 10:1). In ancient times, heavy taxation was often productive of debt and distress.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Nehemiah 5:4. We have borrowed money — This should be read, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute on our lands and vineyards. They had a tax to pay to the Persian king in token of their subjection to him, and though it is not likely it was heavy, yet they were not able to pay it.
