Nehemiah 7
1 Once the wall had been rebuilt and I had put up the doors, I appointed the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites.
Na rĩrĩ, rũthingo rwarĩka gwakwo rĩngĩ, na niĩ ngĩkorwo njĩkĩrĩte mĩrango ihingo-inĩ-rĩ, nĩrĩo arangĩri a ihingo, na aini, na Alawii maathuurirwo.
2 I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, together with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, because he was an honest man who respected God more than many others.
Nĩndatuire Hanani mũrũ wa baba mũrũgamĩrĩri wa Jerusalemu, marĩ na Hanania mũnene wa gĩikaro kĩgitĩre kĩa mũthamaki, tondũ aarĩ mũndũ mwĩhokeku, na agetigĩra Ngai gũkĩra andũ arĩa angĩ.
3 I told them, “Don't allow the gates of Jerusalem to be opened until the sun is hot, and make sure the guards shut and bolt the doors while they're still on duty. Appoint some of the residents of Jerusalem as guards, to be at their posts, standing in front of their own houses.”
Ngĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ihingo cia Jerusalemu itikahingũragwo, o nginya rĩrĩa riũa rĩrĩkoragwo rĩarĩte. Ningĩ o na rĩrĩa arangĩri a ihingo marĩ wĩra-inĩ, nĩmaikarage mahingĩte mĩrango ĩyo, na makamĩĩkĩra mĩgĩĩko. Ningĩ mũthuure aikari a Jerusalemu matuĩke arangĩri, amwe marangagĩre harĩa matuĩrĩirwo kũrangĩra, na arĩa angĩ marangagĩre hakuhĩ na nyũmba ciao.”
4 In those times the city was large with plenty of space, but there weren't many people in it, and the houses hadn't been rebuilt.
Na rĩrĩ, itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu rĩarĩ inene mũno na rĩkaarama, no andũ arĩa maatũũraga kuo maarĩ anini, na nyũmba itiakoretwo ciakĩtwo rĩngĩ.
5 My God encouraged me to have everyone—the nobles, the officials, and the people—all come to be registered according to their family genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had returned first. This what I discovered written there.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ngai wakwa akĩnjĩkĩra wendo ngoro-inĩ yakwa wa gũcookanĩrĩria andũ arĩa maarĩ igweta, na anene, na andũ arĩa angĩ nĩguo meyandĩkithie kũringana na nyũmba ciao. Nĩndonire ibuku rĩa marĩĩtwa ma njiaro cia arĩa maarĩ a mbere gũcooka. Ũũ nĩguo ndonire rĩandĩkĩtwo:
6 This is a list of the people of the province who returned from the captivity. These were the exiles who had been taken away to Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzar. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, to their home towns.
