Nehemiah 11
1 The princes of the people lived in Jerusalem. The rest of the people also cast lots to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem, the holy city, and nine parts in the other cities.
Afei, ɔmanfo no ntuanofo kɔtenaa Yerusalem, kuropɔn kronkron no mu. Wɔbɔɔ ntonto kronkron wɔ nnipa no a na wɔtete Yuda ne Benyamin nkurow bi no so, yii mu nkyɛmu du mu baako ma wɔn nso kɔtenaa hɔ. Na nkae no de, wɔtenaa nea wɔte hɔ ara.
2 The people blessed all the men who willingly offered themselves to dwell in Jerusalem.
Na ɔmanfo no kamfoo obiara a ofi ne pɛ mu san kɔtenaa Yerusalem no.
3 Now these are the chiefs of the province who lived in Jerusalem; but in the cities of Judah, everyone lived in his possession in their cities—Israel, the priests, the Levites, the temple servants, and the children of Solomon’s servants.
Amantam mu mpanyimfo a wɔbaa Yerusalem no din na wɔakyerɛw wɔ ha yi. Ɔmanfo no mu fa kɛse a wɔyɛ asɔfo, Lewifo, Asɔredan mu asomfo ne Salomo asomfo asefo no kɔɔ so tenaa wɔn ankasa afi mu wɔ Yuda nkurow ahorow so,

23 For there was a commandment from the king concerning them, and a settled provision for the singers, as every day required.
Na wɔhyɛ ɔhene mmara a ɛkyerɛ nea ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ da biara no ase.
24 Pethahiah the son of Meshezabel, of the children of Zerah the son of Judah, was at the king’s hand in all matters concerning the people.
Mesesabel babarima Petahia a ɔyɛ Yuda babarima Serah aseni no yɛ ɔhene ananmusini wɔ ɔman no amammui mu.
25 As for the villages with their fields, some of the children of Judah lived in Kiriath Arba and its towns, in Dibon and its towns, in Jekabzeel and its villages,
