Nehemiah 7
1 Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
Wakati ukuta ulipomalizika na milango nimekwisha kuisimamisha, na walinzi wa malango na waimbaji na Walawi walikuwa wamechaguliwa,
2 That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.
nikampa ndugu yangu Hanani kuwa na amri juu ya Yerusalemu, pamoja na Hanania ambaye alikuwa msimamizi wa kijiji, kwa kuwa alikuwa mwaminifu na alimuogopa Mungu zaidi kuliko wengi.
3 And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be opposite to his house.
Nami nikawaambia, Msifungue malango ya Yerusalemu mpaka jua litakapokuwa kali. Wakati walinzi wa mlango wanalinda, unaweza kufunga milango na kuikaza. Chagua walinzi kutoka kwa wale wanaoishi Yerusalemu, wengine mahali pa kituo chao cha ulinzi, na wengine mbele ya nyumba zao wenyewe.
4 Now the city was large and great: but the people were few therein, and the houses were not built.
Sasa jiji lilikuwa pana na kubwa, lakini kulikuwa na watu wachache ndani yake, na hakuna nyumba zilizojengwa tena.
5 And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found written therein,
Mungu wangu aliweka moyoni mwangu, kuwakusanya pamoja wakuu, maafisa, na watu kuwaandikisha katika familia zao. Nilipata Kitabu cha kizazi cha wale ambao walirudi kwanza na nikaona kwamba imeandikwa humo.
6 These are the children of the province, that went up out of the captivity, of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his city;
Hawa ndio watu wa jimbo ambao walikwenda kutoka kwenye uhamisho wa wale waliohamishwa ambao Nebukadreza mfalme wa Babeli aliwachukua mateka. Wakarudi Yerusalemu na Yuda, kila mmoja kwenda kwenye mji wake.
