< Nehemiah 7 >

1 And it comes to pass, when the wall has been built, that I set up the doors, and the gatekeepers are appointed, and the singers, and the Levites,
Tango misala ya kotonga mir esilaki mpe natiaki bizipelo ya bikuke, batiaki bakengeli bikuke, bayembi mpe Balevi: bato na bato na mosala na bango.
2 and I charge my brother Hanani, and Hananiah head of the palace, concerning Jerusalem—for he [is] as a man of truth, and fearing God above many—
Napesaki mokumba ya kokamba engumba Yelusalemi epai ya Anani, ndeko na ngai ya mobali, mpe epai ya Anania, moyangeli ya engumba batonga makasi, oyo, koleka bato ebele, azalaki moto ya sembo mpe azalaki kotosa Nzambe.
3 and I say to them, “Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the heat of the sun, and while they are standing by let them shut the doors, and fasten, and appoint guards of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each at his watch, and each in front of his house.”
Nalobaki na bango: — Bikuke ya Yelusalemi esengeli te kofungwama liboso ete moyi engala, mpe, na pokwa, bakokanga makasi bizipelo na yango mpe bakokotisa yango bikangelo, wana bakengeli bikuke bakozala nanu na bisika na bango ya mosala. Botia lisusu lokola bakengeli, bavandi ya Yelusalemi: bamoko bakozala na bisika na bango ya mosala, mpe bamosusu bakokengela pembeni ya bandako na bango.
4 And the city [is] broad on both sides, and great, and the people [are] few in its midst, and there are no houses built;
Nzokande, etando ya engumba Yelusalemi ezalaki monene mpe ekenda mosika makasi, kasi bato kati na yango bazalaki moke mpe bandako etongamaki nanu te.
5 and my God puts it to my heart, and I gather the nobles, and the prefects, and the people, for the genealogy, and I find a scroll of the genealogy of those coming up at the beginning, and I find written in it:
Nzambe na ngai apesaki ngai makanisi ya kosangisa bankumu, bakambi mpe bato mosusu mpo na kotanga motango na bango kolanda mabota na bango. Bongo, namonaki buku ya bokoko ya ba-oyo bazongaki bato ya liboso longwa na bowumbu. Tala makomi oyo namonaki kuna:
6 These [are] sons of the province, those coming up of the captives of the expulsion that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed—and they return to Jerusalem and to Judah, each to his city—

Bakambi mingi ya mabota bapesaki makabo oyo bakataki kopesa wuta na mitema na bango moko, mpo na misala ya kotonga Tempelo. Moyangeli apesaki na libenga ya misala mbongo ya bibende ya wolo nkoto moko, bakopo tuku mitano mpe banzambala nkama mitano na tuku misato ya mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe.
