Nehemiah 11
1 And the princes of the people dwelt in Jerusalem; and the rest of the people cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem, the holy city, and nine parts in the cities.

2 And the people blessed all the men that willingly offered themselves to dwell in Jerusalem.
Anthu anayamikira onse amene anadzipereka kuti azikhala mu Yerusalemu.
3 And these are the chiefs of the province that dwelt in Jerusalem; but in the cities of Judah dwelt every one in his possession in their cities, Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon's servants.
