Nehemiah 11

1 And the rulers of the people dwelt in Jerusalem, —and, the rest of the people, cast lots, to bring in one out of ten to dwell in Jerusalem, the holy city, and nine parts in [other] cities.

Abakulembeze b’abantu ne babeeranga mu Yerusaalemi, abantu abalala ne bakuba akalulu okulonda omuntu omu ku buli bantu kkumi okugenda okubeera mu Yerusaalemi, ekibuga ekitukuvu; omwenda bo ne basigala mu byalo byabwe.

2 And the people bestowed a blessing on all the men, who willingly offered themselves to dwell in Jerusalem.

Abantu ne beebaza abo bonna abeewaayo okubeera mu Yerusaalemi.

3 Now, these, are the chiefs of the province, who dwelt in Jerusalem, but, in the cities of Judah, dwelt every man in his possession throughout their cities, Israel, the priests, and the Levites and the Nethinim, and the Sons of the Servants of Solomon.

Bano be bakungu b’amasaza abaasenga mu Yerusaalemi: Abayisirayiri abamu, nga mwe muli bakabona n’Abaleevi, n’abaweereza ab’omu yeekaalu, ne bazzukulu ba baddu ba Sulemaani; buli omu yabeeranga ku ttaka lye mu kibanja kye.

4 And, in Jerusalem, dwelt certain of the sons of Judah and of the sons of Benjamin, —Of the sons of Judah, Athaiah son of Uzziah, son of Zechariah, son of Amariah, son of Shephatiah, son of Mahalalel, of the sons of Perez;

Bazzukulu ba Pereezi abaasenga mu Yerusaalemi baawerera ddala abasajja ebikumi bina mu nkaaga mu munaana, abaali abalwanyi abazira.

7 And, these, are the sons of Benjamin, —Sallu son of Meshullam, son of Joed, son of Pedaiah, son of Kolaiah, son of Maaseiah, son of Ithiel, son of Jeshaiah;

9 And, Joel son of Zichri, was in charge over them, —and, Judah son of Hassenuah, was over the city, as second.

Yoweeri mutabani wa Zikuli ye yali omulabirizi waabwe, ne Yuda mutabani wa Kassenuwa nga ye mukulu w’Ekitundu Ekyokubiri eky’ekibuga.

12 and their brethren who were doing the work of the house, eight hundred and twenty-two, —and Adaiah son of Jeroham, son of Pelaliah, son of Amzi, son of Zechariah, son of Pashhur, son of Malchijah;

17 and Mattaniah son of Mica, son of Zabdi, son of Asaph, leader of the praise who giveth thanks, in prayer, and Bakbukiah the second among his brethren, —and Obadiah son of Shemaiah, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun.

18 All the Levites in the holy city, were two hundred and eighty-four.

Abaleevi abaabeeranga mu kibuga ekitukuvu bonna awamu, baali ebikumi bibiri mu kinaana mu bana.

19 And, the door-keepers—Akkub, Talmon, and their brethren who were keeping watch in the gates, were a hundred and seventy-two.

Abakuumi b’emiryango baali: Akkubu, ne Talumoni ne baganda baabwe; abaakuumanga emiryango nga bawera abasajja kikumi mu nsanvu mu babiri.

20 But, the residue of Israel, the priests, the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, every one in his inheritance.

Abayisirayiri abalala bonna, awamu ne bakabona, n’Abaleevi, baabeeranga mu byalo byonna ebya Yuda, buli muntu ng’ali ku butaka bwe.

21 Howbeit, the Nethinim, were dwelling in Ophel, —and, Ziha and Gishpa, were over the Nethinim.

Naye abaweereza ba yeekaalu baabeeranga ku lusozi Oferi, era Zika ne Gisupa be baali abakulu baabwe.

22 And, the overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem, was Uzzi son of Bani, son of Hashabiah, son of Mattaniah, son of Mica, —of the sons of Asaph the singers, to take lead in the business of the house of God.

Omukulu w’Abaleevi mu Yerusaalemi yali Uzzi mutabani wa Baani, muzzukulu wa Kasabiya, muzzukulu wa Mattaniya, era muzzukulu wa Mikka. Ate era Uzzi yali omu ku bazzukulu ba Asafu, abaakulemberanga okuyimba mu nnyumba ya Katonda.

23 For, the commandment of the king, was upon them, —as to a fixed provision for the singers, the need of a day upon its day.

Abayimbi baakoleranga ku biragiro bya kabaka, nga buli lunaku bwe lwetaaganga.

24 And, Pethahiah son of Meshezabel, of the sons of Zerah, son of Judah, was at the hand of the king, in every matter pertaining to the people.

Pesakiya mutabani wa Mesezaberi, omu ku bazzukulu ba Zeera mutabani wa Yuda, ye yali omusigire wa Kabaka, ku nsonga zonna ez’abantu.

25 And, as for the villages in their fields, some of the sons of Judah, dwelt in Kiriath-arba, and the hamlets thereof, and in Dibon, and the hamlets thereof, and in Jekabzeel, and the villages thereof;

Abantu abamu aba Yuda baabeeranga mu Kirasualuba n’ebyalo ebikyetoolodde, n’abalala mu Diboni n’ebyalo ebikyetoolodde, n’abalala mu Yekabuzeeri n’ebyalo ebikyetoolodde,

31 And, the sons of Benjamin, [dwelt] from Geba, to Michmas and Aija, and Bethel, and the hamlets thereof:

Bazzukulu ba Benyamini abaava e Geba baabeeranga mu Mikumasi, ne mu Ayiya, ne mu Beseri n’ebyalo ebikyetoolodde,

ne mu Loodi ne mu Ono, ne mu kiwonvu kya babumbi.

36 Howbeit, of the Levites, certain courses of Judah, pertained unto Benjamin.

Abamu ku b’omu bibinja by’Abaleevi aba Yuda, ne beegatta ku b’omu Benyamini.
