Nehemiah 7
1 When the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites were appointed.
Mgbe e wuzichara mgbidi ahụ, na mgbe m guzobesịrị ibo nʼọnụ ụzọ ya niile nʼọnọdụ ha, họpụtakwa ndị ọbụ abụ na ndị nche, na ndị Livayị.
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.
Enyefere m ọrụ ilekọta Jerusalem nʼaka nwanne m nwoke bụ Hanani, ya na Hananaya onye bụ onyeisi ụlọ ukwu ahụ e wusiri ike, nʼihi na ọ bụ nwoke na-ekwu eziokwu, bụrụkwa onye na-atụ egwu Chineke karịa ọtụtụ ndị ọzọ.
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.”
Agwara m ha, “Na-emeghenụ ọnụ ụzọ ama naanị mgbe chi bọziri nke ọma. Kpọchiekwa ha mgbe ndị nche ka nọ na nche. Họpụtakwanụ ndị bi na Jerusalem ka ha bụrụ ndị nche. Ụfọdụ ga-eche nʼebe a họpụtara ha, ụfọdụ ga-eche nʼakụkụ ụlọ nke aka ha.”
4 Now the city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it, and the houses had not yet been rebuilt.
Nʼoge a obodo ahụ buru ibu dịkwa mbara, ma ndị bi nʼime ya dị ole na ole nʼọnụọgụgụ, ụlọ ndị dị nʼime ya bụkwa ihe ewugharịbeghị.
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:
Ya mere Chineke m tinyere ya nʼobi m ka m chịkọta ndị niile a na-asọpụrụ, ndị ọchịchị, na ndị niile bi nʼobodo, maka idebanye aha nʼakwụkwọ ezinaụlọ nʼezinaụlọ. Achọtara m ebe e depụtara usoro ndị mmadụ niile bụ ụzọ lọta Juda nʼoge gara aga. Nke a bụ ihe m chọpụtara edere nʼime ya:
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,
Ndị a bụ ndị obodo niile a na-achị achị, bụ ndị sitere na ndọta nʼagha nke Nebukadneza, eze Babilọn, onye dọtara ha nʼagha buru ha laa nʼala ọzọ. Ha lọghachitere na Jerusalem nakwa Juda, onye ọbụla nʼobodo nke aka ya.

64 These men searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.

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.
