Nehemiah 7
1 When the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites were appointed.
Vongtung te a sak phoeiah tah thohkhaih te ka buen tih thoh tawt neh laa sa khaw, Levi khaw ka khueh.
2 Then I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, along with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, because he was a faithful man who feared God more than most.
Te vaengah ka mana Hanani neh Hananiah te Jerusalem rhalmah im ah mangpa la ka uen. Anih tah oltak kah hlang la om tih Pathen te muep a rhih ngai.
3 And I told them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot. While the guards are on duty, keep the doors shut and securely fastened. And appoint the residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some at their own homes.”
Te phoeiah amih te ka uen tih, “Khohmik a saeham hil Jerusalem vongka te ah uh boel saeh. Amamih a rhaih pai vaengah thohkhaih te khai uh saeh lamtah kalh uh saeh. Jerusalem kah khosa rhoek tah amah rhaltawt ah pakhat neh a im hmai ah pakhat te rhaltawt la pai bal saeh,” ka ti nah.
4 Now the city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it, and the houses had not yet been rebuilt.
Khopuei te hmatoeng lamtah sang tih len dae a khui kah pilnam tah a yol dongah im sa om pawh.
5 Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials, and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had first returned, and I found the following written in it:
Ka pathen loh ka lungbuei ah a khueh dongah hlangcoelh rhoek khaw, ukkung rhoek khaw, pilnam khaw a khuui bangla ka coi. Te vaengah lamhma la aka mael rhoek kah rhuirhong cabu te ka hmuh tih a khuiah a daek tangtae la ka hmuh.
6 These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles carried away to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar its king. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town,
He tah vangsawn tamna lamkah aka mael rhoek paeng ca rhoek ni. Amih te Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh a poelyoe dae Jerusalem la, Judah la, amah kho la rhip mael uh.

64 These men searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
Amih kah a khuui ca te a tlap uh dae a hmu pawt dongah khosoihbi lamloh coom uh coeng.
65 The governor ordered them not to eat the most holy things until there was a priest to consult the Urim and Thummim.
Te dongah khosoih loh Urim, Thummim neh a pai hlan hil hmuencim kah buhcim te caak pawt ham amih te tongmang boei loh a uen.
66 The whole assembly numbered 42,360,
Hlangping pum te pakhat la thawng sawmli thawng hnih ya thum sawmrhuk lo.
67 in addition to their 7,337 menservants and maidservants, as well as their 245 male and female singers.
Amih phoei lamloh a salpa neh a sal huta he thawng rhih ya thum sawmthum parhih lo. Amih laa sa pa neh laa sa nu rhoek khaw ya hnih sawmli panga lo.
68 They had 736 horses, 245 mules,

70 Some of the heads of the families contributed to the project. The governor gave to the treasury 1,000 darics of gold, 50 bowls, and 530 priestly garments.
Thakvoh khuiah sui tangkathi thawng khat, baelcak sawmnga, khosoih angkidung ya nga sawmthum.
71 And some of the heads of the families gave to the treasury for the project 20,000 darics of gold and 2,200 minas of silver.

73 So the priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, and temple servants, along with some of the people and the rest of the Israelites, settled in their own towns. And by the seventh month the Israelites had settled in their towns.
Te dongah khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek khaw, thoh tawt rhoek neh laa sa rhoek khaw, pilnam lamkah neh tamtaeng rhoek khaw, Israel pum khaw amamih khopuei ah kho a sak uh. Hla rhih a pha vaengah Israel ca rhoek te amamih kho ah omuh.
