Nehemiah 11
1 Now the leaders of the people settled in Jerusalem, and the rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of ten to live in the holy city of Jerusalem, while the remaining nine were to dwell in their own towns.
Nthawi imeneyo atsogoleri a anthu ankakhala ku Yerusalemu. Tsono anthu ena onse anachita maere kuti apeze munthu mmodzi pa anthu khumi aliwonse kuti azikhala ku Yerusalemu, mzinda wopatulika. Anthu asanu ndi anayi otsalawo ankakhala mʼmidzi yawo.
2 And the people blessed all the men who volunteered to live in Jerusalem.
Anthu anayamikira onse amene anadzipereka kuti azikhala mu Yerusalemu.
3 These are the heads of the provinces who settled in Jerusalem. (In the villages of Judah, however, each lived on his own property in their towns—the Israelites, priests, Levites, temple servants, and descendants of Solomon’s servants—
Aisraeli wamba, ansembe, Alevi, ogwira ntchito ku Nyumba ya Mulungu ndiponso zidzukulu za antchito a Solomoni ankakhala mʼmidzi yawo, aliyense mu dera lake. Koma atsogoleri a chigawo cha Yuda anali atakhazikika mu Yerusalemu.

22 Now the overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica. He was one of Asaph’s descendants, who were the singers in charge of the service of the house of God.
Wamkulu wa Alevi mu Yerusalemu anali Uzi mwana wa Bani, mwana wa Hasabiya, mwana wa Mataniya, mwana wa Mika. Uzi anali mmodzi wa zidzukulu za Asafu, amene anali oyimba nyimbo pa nthawi zachipembedzo mʼNyumba ya Mulungu.
23 For there was a command from the king concerning the singers, an ordinance regulating their daily activities.
Pakuti mfumu inalamula kuti tsiku ndi tsiku pa nthawi zachipembedzo oyimba nyimbowo azikhalapo.
24 Pethahiah son of Meshezabel, a descendant of Zerah son of Judah, was the king’s agent in every matter concerning the people.
Petahiya mwana wa Mesezabeli, mmodzi mwa zidzukulu za Zera mwana wa Yuda ndiye ankayimirira Aisraeli pa bwalo la mfumu ya Perisiya.
25 As for the villages with their fields, some of the people of Judah lived in Kiriath-arba, Dibon, Jekabzeel, and their villages;
Anthu ena a fuko la Yuda ankakhala ku Kiriyati-Ariba ndi midzi yake, ku Diboni ndi midzi yake, ku Yekabizeeli ndi midzi yake,
