Nehemiya 7
1 Khoma linamangidwa ndipo zitseko zinayikidwa. Pambuyo pake alonda a Nyumba ya Mulungu, oyimba nyimbo ndiponso Alevi anasankhidwa.
And it comes to pass, when the wall has been built, that I set up the doors, and the gatekeepers are appointed, and the singers, and the Levites,
2 Kenaka ine ndinasankha mʼbale wanga Hanani pamodzi ndi Hananiya woyangʼanira nsanja yankhondo kukhala olamulira Yerusalemu chifukwa iyeyu anali munthu odalirika ndi woopa Mulungu kuposa anthu ena.
and I charge my brother Hanani, and Hananiah head of the palace, concerning Jerusalem—for he [is] as a man of truth, and fearing God above many—
3 Ine ndinawawuza kuti, “Musalole kuti zipata za Yerusalemu zitsekulidwe mpaka dzuwa litatentha, ndipo alonda asanaweruke aonetsetse kuti atseka zitseko ndi kuzipiringidza. Musankhe alonda pakati pa anthu okhala mu Yerusalemu, ena akhale pa malo pawo ndi ena akhale moyangʼanana ndi nyumba zawo.”
and I say to them, “Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the heat of the sun, and while they are standing by let them shut the doors, and fasten, and appoint guards of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each at his watch, and each in front of his house.”
4 Tsono mzinda wa Yerusalemu unali wotambasuka ndiponso waukulu koma munali anthu ochepa ndipo nyumba zinali zisanamangidwe.
And the city [is] broad on both sides, and great, and the people [are] few in its midst, and there are no houses built;
5 Ndipo Mulungu wanga anayika mu mtima mwanga maganizo oti ndisonkhanitse anthu olemekezeka, akuluakulu ndi anthu onse kuti alembetse mayina mwa mabanja awo. Ndinapeza buku limene munalembedwa mayina a mabanja a iwo amene anayamba kubwera kuchokera ku ukapolo. Izi ndi zimene ndinazipeza zitalembedwa mʼmenemo:
and my God puts it to my heart, and I gather the nobles, and the prefects, and the people, for the genealogy, and I find a scroll of the genealogy of those coming up at the beginning, and I find written in it:
6 Awa ndi anthu a mʼchigawo cha Yuda amene anabwerera kuchokera ku ukapolo amene Nebukadinezara mfumu ya Babuloni anawatenga ukapolo. Iwo anabwerera ku Yerusalemu ndi ku Yuda, aliyense ku mzinda wa makolo ake.
These [are] sons of the province, those coming up of the captives of the expulsion that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed—and they return to Jerusalem and to Judah, each to his city—
