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.
Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Israel dukɔa kplɔlawo nɔ Yerusalem, Du Kɔkɔe la me. Ke azɔ la, woda akɔ be woatia ame siwo le du bubuawo me le Yuda kple Benyamin la ƒe ewolia be woawo hã nava nɔ Yerusalem.
2 And the people gave a blessing to all the men who were freely offering to take up their places in Jerusalem.
Ame aɖewo ʋu va Yerusalem le wo ɖokui si, eye wode bubu gã aɖe wo ŋu.
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.
