15 Aber die früheren Landpfleger, die vor mir gewesen waren, hatten das Volk beschwert und Brot und Wein von ihnen genommen, nebst vierzig Sekel Silber; auch ihre Diener schalteten willkürlich über das Volk. Ich aber tat nicht also, aus Furcht vor Gott.
15 But the earlier governors—those preceding me—placed a heavy burden on the people and took forty shekels 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.
