Abowiem byli, którzy mówili: Synów naszych i córek naszych i nas samych barzo wiele, a przetoż musiemy brać zboża, abychmy jedli i żywili się.
Albowiem niektórzy mówili: Wiele nas, co synów naszych i córki nasze zastawiamy, abyśmy nabywszy zboża, jeść i żyć mogli.
I było, że niektórzy mówili: Wielu nas oraz naszych synów i córek, powinno nabyć zboża, jeść i żyć!
Albowiem niektórzy mówili: Wiele nas, co synów naszych i córki nasze zastawiamy, abyśmy nabywszy zboża, jeść i żyć mogli.
Niektórzy bowiem mówili: Jest nas wielu wraz z synami i córkami i musimy nabyć zboża, abyśmy mogli jeść i żyć.
I tak: byli tacy, którzy mówili: Naszych synów i nasze córki musimy dać pod zastaw, aby nabyć zboże i utrzymać się przy życiu.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For there were that said, we, our sons, and our daughters, are many,.... Not that they complained of the number of their children, for a numerous offspring was always reckoned a blessing with the Jews; but this they observed to show that their families, being large, required a considerable quantity of food to support them:
therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat and live; that is, they were obliged to take it at an exorbitant price, which is the thing complained of; or otherwise they must starve, the rich taking the advantage of their poverty and present dearth.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Are many - A slight emendation brings this verse into exact parallelism with the next, and gives the sense - âWe have pledged our sons and our daughters, that we might get corn, and eat and live.â Compare Nehemiah 5:5.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Nehemiah 5:2. We, our sons, and our daughters, are many — Our families are larger than we can provide for; we are obliged to go in debt; and our richer brethren take advantage of our necessitous situation, and oppress us. The details which are given in the next verse are sufficiently plain.
