Nehemiah 7
1 When the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites were appointed.
Na rĩrĩ, rũthingo rwarĩka gwakwo rĩngĩ, na niĩ ngĩkorwo njĩkĩrĩte mĩrango ihingo-inĩ-rĩ, nĩrĩo arangĩri a ihingo, na aini, na Alawii maathuurirwo.
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.
Nĩndatuire Hanani mũrũ wa baba mũrũgamĩrĩri wa Jerusalemu, marĩ na Hanania mũnene wa gĩikaro kĩgitĩre kĩa mũthamaki, tondũ aarĩ mũndũ mwĩhokeku, na agetigĩra Ngai gũkĩra andũ arĩa angĩ.
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.”
Ngĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ihingo cia Jerusalemu itikahingũragwo, o nginya rĩrĩa riũa rĩrĩkoragwo rĩarĩte. Ningĩ o na rĩrĩa arangĩri a ihingo marĩ wĩra-inĩ, nĩmaikarage mahingĩte mĩrango ĩyo, na makamĩĩkĩra mĩgĩĩko. Ningĩ mũthuure aikari a Jerusalemu matuĩke arangĩri, amwe marangagĩre harĩa matuĩrĩirwo kũrangĩra, na arĩa angĩ marangagĩre hakuhĩ na nyũmba ciao.”
4 Now the city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it, and the houses had not yet been rebuilt.
Na rĩrĩ, itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu rĩarĩ inene mũno na rĩkaarama, no andũ arĩa maatũũraga kuo maarĩ anini, na nyũmba itiakoretwo ciakĩtwo rĩngĩ.
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:
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ngai wakwa akĩnjĩkĩra wendo ngoro-inĩ yakwa wa gũcookanĩrĩria andũ arĩa maarĩ igweta, na anene, na andũ arĩa angĩ nĩguo meyandĩkithie kũringana na nyũmba ciao. Nĩndonire ibuku rĩa marĩĩtwa ma njiaro cia arĩa maarĩ a mbere gũcooka. Ũũ nĩguo ndonire rĩandĩkĩtwo:
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,

61 The following came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer, but could not prove that their families were descended from Israel:
Nao aya nĩo maambatire kuuma matũũra ma Teli-Mela, na Teli-Harasha, na Kerubu, na Adoni, na Imeri, no matingĩonanirie atĩ nyũmba ciao ciarĩ cia njiaro cia Isiraeli:
62 the descendants of Delaiah, the descendants of Tobiah, and the descendants of Nekoda, 642 in all.
njiaro cia Delaia, na Tobia, na Nekoda ciarĩ 642.
63 And from among the priests: the descendants of Hobaiah, the descendants of Hakkoz, and the descendants of Barzillai (who had married a daughter of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by their name).
Na kuuma kũrĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai: njiaro cia Hobaia, na Hakozu, na Barizilai (mũndũ ũrĩa wahikĩtie mwarĩ wa Barizilai ũrĩa Mũgileadi, na eetanagio na rĩĩtwa rĩu).
64 These men searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
Andũ acio nĩmacaririe maandĩko ma nyũmba ciao, no matiigana kũmona, nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩeherio thiritũ-inĩ ya athĩnjĩri-Ngai, magĩtuuo ta andũ maarĩ na thaahu.
65 The governor ordered them not to eat the most holy things until there was a priest to consult the Urim and Thummim.
Nake barũthi wa kũu akĩmaatha matikarĩe irio iria therie mũno, o nginya gũkaagĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũratungata na Urimu na Thumimu.
66 The whole assembly numbered 42,360,
Andũ acio othe marĩ hamwe maarĩ 42,360,
67 in addition to their 7,337 menservants and maidservants, as well as their 245 male and female singers.
gũtatarĩtwo ndungata ciao cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja 7, 337; ningĩ nĩ maarĩ na aini arũme na andũ-a-nja 245.
68 They had 736 horses, 245 mules,
Maarĩ na mbarathi 736, na nyũmbũ 245,
69 435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
na ngamĩĩra 435, na ndigiri 6,720.
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.
Atongoria amwe a nyũmba nĩmarutire indo ciao nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra ũcio. Barũthi wa kũu nĩaheanire durakima 1,000 cia thahabu, na mbakũri 50, na nguo cia athĩnjĩri-Ngai 530, nacio ikĩigwo kĩgĩĩna-inĩ.
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.
Nao atongoria amwe a nyũmba nĩmaheanire indo nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra ũcio, durakima 20,000 cia thahabu, na ratiri 2,200 cia betha, nacio ikĩigwo kĩgĩĩna-inĩ.
72 The rest of the people gave a total of 20,000 darics of gold, 2,000 minas of silver, and 67 priestly garments.

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.
Athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na Alawii, na aikaria a ihingo, na aini na ndungata cia hekarũ, marĩ hamwe na andũ amwe ao, na andũ arĩa angĩ a Isiraeli magĩaka na magĩtũũra matũũra-inĩ mao.
