Nehemiah 7
1 And it came to pass when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, that the doorkeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed.
Baada ya ukuta kukamilika kujengwa upya na nikaweka milango, mabawabu wa lango, waimbaji, na Walawi waliteuliwa.
2 And I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the citadel, charge over Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man and feared God above many.
Nikamweka Hanani ndugu yangu kuwa kiongozi wa Yerusalemu, pamoja na Hanania jemadari wa ngome, kwa kuwa alikuwa mtu mwadilifu na mwenye kumcha Mungu kuliko watu wengine.
3 And I said to them that the gates of Jerusalem should not be opened until the sun was hot, and that they should shut the doors and bar them while they stood by; and that there should be appointed watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one over against his house.
Nikawaambia, “Malango ya Yerusalemu yasifunguliwe mpaka jua litakapokuwa limepanda. Walinzi wa malango wakiwa bado kwenye zamu, waamuru wafunge milango na waweke makomeo. Pia wateueni wenyeji wa Yerusalemu wawe walinzi, kila mmoja kwenye lindo lake, na wengine karibu na nyumba zao wenyewe.”
4 Now the city was large and great; but the people in it were few, and no houses were built.
Mji ulikuwa mkubwa, tena wenye nafasi nyingi, lakini walikuwepo watu wachache ndani yake, nazo nyumba zilikuwa bado ni magofu.
5 And my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, for registration by genealogy. And I found a genealogical register of those that had come up at the first, and I found written in it:
Hivyo Mungu wangu akaweka moyoni mwangu kuwakusanya wakuu, maafisa na watu wa kawaida kwa ajili ya kuorodheshwa kulingana na jamaa zao. Nilikuta orodha ya vizazi ya wale waliokuwa wa kwanza kurudi toka utumwani. Haya ndiyo niliyokuta yameandikwa humo:
