Nehemia 7

1 Bangʼ ka ohinga ne oseger kendo ne aserwako dhoudi kuonde mowinjore, ne ayiero jorit dhorangeye gi jower kod jo-Lawi.

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 Jerusalem ne irito gi owadwa, Hanani kaachiel gi Hanania ma jatend kama ochiel motegno, nikech ne en ja-ratiro kendo noluoro Nyasaye moloyo joma moko.

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 Ne awachonegi niya, “Dhorangeye ma Jerusalem ok yaw nyaka chiengʼ bed makech. Ka jorit rangach pod tiyo, to nyisgi gilor dhoudi kendo uchieg-gi gi lodi. Bende yieruru joma odak Jerusalem kaka jorit, jomoko uket machiegni gi kuondegi mag rito, to mamoko ubed machiegni gi utegi.”

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 Koro dala maduongʼ ne lach kendo iye ne nigi thuolo, to ne nitiere ji manok e iye, kendo udi bende ne pod ok pok ochak ger.

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 Omiyo Nyasacha noketo wachno e chunya mondo achok joka ruoth, jotelo, to gi oganda duto mondo ndik nying-gi dala ka dala. Ne ayudo kitabu mondikie nying joma nokwongo duogo. Ma e gima ne ayudo kondiki kanyo:

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 Kuom jo-Juda mane Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon otero e twech, magi joma noduogo Jerusalem gi Juda, ka ngʼato ka ngʼato dok e dalagi.

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—
