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,
Wakati ukuta ulipomalizika na milango nimekwisha kuisimamisha, na walinzi wa malango na waimbaji na Walawi walikuwa wamechaguliwa,
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.
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 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."
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 wide and large; but the people were few in it, 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 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:
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 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 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.
