As used in the King James Bible, "Nay" simple means No, as in Matthew 5:37;
But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
In the above verse, the general understanding is that one should say yes, or no, and not swear, affirm, etc; a simple yes or no.
The word "nay" comes from the Old Norse nei, and ne, meaning "not ever".
