< Nehemiah 11 >

1 Now the leaders of the people lived in Jerusalem. Yet truly, the remainder of the people cast lots, so that they might choose one part in ten who were to live in Jerusalem, the holy city, and nine parts for the other cities.
Ugbu a, ndịisi Izrel bi nʼobodo nsọ Jerusalem nʼoge a, ma e sitere nʼife nza họpụta otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ iri nke ndị bi nʼobodo ndị ọzọ niile ka ha bịa biri na Jerusalem, bụ obodo nsọ ahụ, ebe ụzọ itoolu fọdụrụ bikwa nʼobodo nke aka ha.
2 Then the people blessed all the men who freely offered themselves to live in Jerusalem.
Ndị mmadụ toro ndị niile jiri afọ ofufu họrọ ịbịa soro biri na Jerusalem.
3 And so these are the leaders of the province, who were living in Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah. Now each one lived in his possession, in their cities: Israel, the priests, the Levites, the temple servants, and the sons of the servants of Solomon.
Ndị a bụ ndịisi ala ahụ a na-achị achị ndị bịara biri na Jerusalem (ma ọtụtụ ndị Izrel, ndị nchụaja, ndị Livayị, ndị na-eje ozi nʼụlọnsọ na ụmụ ndị na-ejere Solomọn ozi biiri nʼobodo Juda, onye ọbụla nʼihe onwunwe ya nʼobodo ha dị iche iche.

22 And the director of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi, the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica. The singing men in the ministry of the house of God were from the sons of Asaph.
Onye na-elekọta ndị Livayị bi na Jerusalem bụ Uzi, nwa Bani, nwa Hashabaya, nwa Matanaya, nwa Matanaia, nwa Mika. Uzi bụ otu onye si nʼikwu Asaf, ndị ọbụ abụ maka ije ozi nke ụlọ Chineke.
