Nehemiah 7
1 Now it happened, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers 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 that I put my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the commander of the fortress, in charge of 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 I said to them, "Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they stand guard, let them shut the doors, and you bar them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, everyone in his watch, with everyone near 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 wide and large; but the people were few in it, and the houses were not built.
Mji ulikuwa mkubwa, tena wenye nafasi nyingi, lakini walikuwepo watu wachache ndani yake, nazo nyumba zilikuwa bado ni magofu.
5 My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. I found the book of the genealogy of those who came 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:
6 These are the people of the province, who went up out of the captivity of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, everyone to his city;
Hawa ndio watu wa jimbo waliotoka uhamishoni, ambao Nebukadneza mfalme wa Babeli alikuwa amewachukua mateka (walirudi Yerusalemu na Yuda, kila mmoja kwenye mji wake,

61 These were those who went up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Cherub, Addan, and Immer; but they could not prove their ancestral houses, nor their descent, whether they were of Israel:
Wafuatao walikuja kutoka miji ya Tel-Mela, Tel-Harsha, Kerubu, Adoni na Imeri, lakini hawakuweza kuthibitisha kwamba jamaa zao zilikuwa uzao wa Israeli:

64 These searched for their genealogical records, but couldn't find them. Therefore were they deemed polluted and put from the priesthood.
Hawa walitafuta orodha za jamaa zao, lakini hawakuonekana humo, kwa hiyo waliondolewa kutoka kundi la makuhani, kwa kuwa walihesabiwa kuwa najisi.
65 The governor said to them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, until there stood up a priest with Urim and Thummim.
Kwa hiyo, mtawala aliagiza kuwa wasile chochote miongoni mwa vyakula vitakatifu hadi kuwe kuhani atakayehudumu kwa Urimu na Thumimu.
66 The whole assembly together was forty-two thousand three hundred sixty,
Jumla ya watu wote waliorudi walikuwa 42,360;
