Nehemiah 7

1 Once the wall had been rebuilt and I had put up the doors, I appointed the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites.

Inge musa ke pot uh safla, ac mutunpot nukewa oaki acn se, ac itukyang orekma lun mwet topang su forfor taran Tempul, oayapa ma kunen un mwet on ac mwet Levi saya.

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.

Nga sang mwet luo in leum fin acn Jerusalem: sie pa Hanani, tamulel luk, ac sie pa Hananiah, captain lun un mwet mweun ke pot fulat lun siti uh. Hananiah el arulana akfulatye God in moul lal, oayapa lulalfongiyuk el yohk liki mwet saya nukewa.

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.”

Nga fahkang eltal in tia fuhlela mutunpot lun Jerusalem in ikak ke lotutang nwe ke faht uh takak, na in kauli ac srumasryukla meet liki mwet topang elos som liki kunokon lalos ke faht uh tili. Nga oayapa fahk tuh eltal in pakiya mwet topang ke mutunpot uh liki inmasrlon mwet su muta Jerusalem. Kutu selos kuneyuk in taran kais sie acn, ac mwet saya in foroht forma taran lohm selos sifacna.

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.

Jerusalem sie siti na lulap, tusruktu tiana pus mwet muta we, ac soenna pus pac lohm musaiyuk we.

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.

God El pirikyu nga in orani mwet uh wi mwet kol ac mwet fulat lalos, ac lohang nu ke ma simla ke takin sou lalos. Nga konauk ma simla kaclos su foloko emeet liki sruoh, ac pa inge ma kalem ke ma nga konauk uh:

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.

Pus sin mwet sruoh elos som liki acn Babylon ac foloko nu Jerusalem ac Judah, kais sie nu in acn sel sifacna. Sou lalos elos tuh muta in sruoh Babylonia oe in pacl se Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el tuh usalosla nu we.

61 Those who came from the towns of Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Kerub, Addan, and Immer could not prove their family genealogy, or even that they were descendants of Israel.

64 They searched for a record of them in the genealogies, but their names weren't found, so they were barred from serving as priests.

Mwet inge tuh suk inelos ke takin mwet matu lalos, tuh tiana konauk. Ke ma inge elos kofla in oaoayang nu ke mwet tol.

65 The governor instructed them not to eat anything from the sanctuary sacrifices until a priest could ask the Lord about the issue by using the Urim and Thummim.
