pay away

When I started reporting, the Navy got even with me and took my pay away and stuff.
Cuando comencé a tomar notas, la Marina se me puso en contra y dejó de pagarme.
People make special preparations for the holiday: they clean their houses, courts and streets they live in, wash all their clothes and pay away all their debts.
La gente de antemano se prepara escrupulosamente para la fiesta: hacen la limpieza general en casas, patios y calles, lavan obligatoriamente toda la ropa que tienen, pagan sus deudas.
