Nehemiah 11
1 And the rulers of the people were living in Jerusalem: the rest of the people made selection, by the decision of chance, of one out of every ten to be living in Jerusalem, the holy town; the other nine to go to the other 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 gave a blessing to all the men who were freely offering to take up their places in Jerusalem.
Anthu anayamikira onse amene anadzipereka kuti azikhala mu Yerusalemu.
3 Now these are the chiefs of the divisions of the country who were living in Jerusalem: but in the towns of Judah everyone was living on his heritage in the towns, that is, Israel, the priests, the Levites, the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon's servants.

Pakuti mfumu inalamula kuti tsiku ndi tsiku pa nthawi zachipembedzo oyimba nyimbowo azikhalapo.
24 And Pethahiah, the son of Meshezabel, of the sons of Zerah, the son of Judah, was the king's servant in everything to do with the people.
