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.

Bakambi ya bato bayaki kovanda na Yelusalemi. Ndambo mosusu kati na bato babetaki zeke mpo ete moto moko kati na bato zomi aya kovanda na Yelusalemi, engumba ya bule; mpe mpo ete bato libwa oyo batikali bavanda kati na bingumba na bango.

2 Then the people blessed all the men who freely offered themselves to live in Jerusalem.

Bato bapambolaki moto nyonso oyo amipesaki ye moko mpo na kovanda na Yelusalemi.

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.

Tala bakambi ya bituka oyo bavandaki na Yelusalemi; nzokande na tango wana, bana ya Isalaele, Banganga-Nzambe, Balevi, basali ya Tempelo mpe bakitani ya basali ya Salomo bavandaki kati na bingumba ya Yuda, moko na moko kati na mabele mpe engumba na ye;
