Nehemiah 7
1 And it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, —and the doorkeepers and the singers and the Levites had been appointed,
Khoma linamangidwa ndipo zitseko zinayikidwa. Pambuyo pake alonda a Nyumba ya Mulungu, oyimba nyimbo ndiponso Alevi anasankhidwa.
2 that I gave Hanani my brother, and Hananiah captain of the castle, charge over Jerusalem, for, he, was a truly faithful man, and revered God above many.
Kenaka ine ndinasankha mʼbale wanga Hanani pamodzi ndi Hananiya woyangʼanira nsanja yankhondo kukhala olamulira Yerusalemu chifukwa iyeyu anali munthu odalirika ndi woopa Mulungu kuposa anthu ena.
3 And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until, hot, be the sun, and, while they are standing by, let them close the doors, and make them fast, —setting watches, of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one over against his own house.
Ine ndinawawuza kuti, “Musalole kuti zipata za Yerusalemu zitsekulidwe mpaka dzuwa litatentha, ndipo alonda asanaweruke aonetsetse kuti atseka zitseko ndi kuzipiringidza. Musankhe alonda pakati pa anthu okhala mu Yerusalemu, ena akhale pa malo pawo ndi ena akhale moyangʼanana ndi nyumba zawo.”
4 Now, the city, was broad on both hands, and large, but, the people, were few in the midst thereof, —and the houses had not been built.
Tsono mzinda wa Yerusalemu unali wotambasuka ndiponso waukulu koma munali anthu ochepa ndipo nyumba zinali zisanamangidwe.
5 So then my God put it into my heart, and I gathered together the nobles and the deputies and the people, to register their genealogy, —then found I a register roll, of them who came up at the first, and found written therein: —
Ndipo Mulungu wanga anayika mu mtima mwanga maganizo oti ndisonkhanitse anthu olemekezeka, akuluakulu ndi anthu onse kuti alembetse mayina mwa mabanja awo. Ndinapeza buku limene munalembedwa mayina a mabanja a iwo amene anayamba kubwera kuchokera ku ukapolo. Izi ndi zimene ndinazipeza zitalembedwa mʼmenemo:
6 These, are the sons of the province, who came up from among the Captives of the Exile, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did exile, —but they came back to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one to his own city;
Awa ndi anthu a mʼchigawo cha Yuda amene anabwerera kuchokera ku ukapolo amene Nebukadinezara mfumu ya Babuloni anawatenga ukapolo. Iwo anabwerera ku Yerusalemu ndi ku Yuda, aliyense ku mzinda wa makolo ake.

61 And, these, are they who came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer, —but they could not tell their ancestral house, nor their seed, whether, of Israel, they were:
Ali munsiwa anachokera ku Teli-Mela, Teri-Harisa, Kerubi, Adoni, ndi Imeri, koma sanathe kunena mwa tchutchutchu kuti makolo awo kapena mafuko awo analidi Aisraeli kapena ayi.

64 These, sought their writing wherein they were registered, but it was not found, —so they were desecrated out of the priesthood;
Iwowa anafufuzafufuza mayina awo mʼbuku la mibado ya mabanja awo ndipo sanapeze mayina awo kotero anachotsedwa pa unsembe nawerengedwa ngati odetsedwa pa chipembedzo.
65 and the governor told them, they must not eat of the most holy things, —until there should stand up a priest, with Lights and Perfections.
Choncho bwanamkubwa anawawuza anthuwo kuti asamadye nawo chakudya china chilichonse choperekedwa kwa Mulungu mpaka patapezeka wansembe wodziwa kugwiritsa bwino ntchito ya Urimu ndi Tumimu.
66 All the gathered host together, was forty-two thousand, three hundred, and sixty;
Chiwerengero chonse cha anthuwa chinali 42,360.
67 besides, their men-servants and maid-servants, were these, seven thousand, three hundred, and thirty-seven, —and, to them, pertained, singing-men and singing-women, two hundred, and forty-five:
Kuwonjezera pamenepa panali antchito awo aamuna ndi aakazi 7,337 ndiponso anthu aamuna ndi aakazi oyimba nyimbo okwanira 245.
68 their horses, were seven hundred, and thirty-six, —their mules, two hundred, and forty-five;

70 And, a portion of the ancestral chiefs, gave unto the work, —the governor, gave unto the treasury, of gold, a thousand darics, tossing bowls, fifty, tunics for priests, five hundred, and thirty;
Atsogoleri ena a mabanja anapereka mphatso zothandizira ntchito. Bwanamkubwa anapereka ku thumba losungira chuma, ndalama zagolide za makilogalamu asanu ndi atatu, mabeseni makumi asanu ndi zovala za ansembe 530.
71 and, some of the ancestral chiefs, gave unto the treasury of the work, of gold, twenty thousand darics, —and, of silver, two thousand and two hundred manehs;
Atsogoleri ena amabanja anapereka ku thumba losungira chuma ndalama zagolide zokwana makilogalamu 168, ndiponso ndalama za siliva zokwana makilogalamu 1,250.
72 and, that which the rest of the people gave, was, of gold, twenty thousand darics, and, of silver, two thousand manehs, —and, tunics for priests, sixty-seven.
Anthu ena onse otsala anapereka ndalama zagolide zokwana makilogalamu 168, ndalama za siliva zokwana makilogalamu 140, ndiponso zovala za ansembe 67.
73 So the priests and the Levites and the door-keepers and the singers and some of the people, and the Nethinim and all Israel, took up their abode in their cities. And, when the seventh month arrived, the sons of Israel were in their cities.
Choncho ansembe, Alevi, alonda a Nyumba ya Mulungu, anthu oyimba nyimbo, ena mwa anthu wamba, ogwira ntchito ku Nyumba ya Mulungu pamodzi ndi Aisraeli ena onse ankakhala mʼmizinda yawo. Pofika mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri Aisraeli onse anali atakhazikika mʼmizinda yawo.
