Nehemiah 7
1 After the wall had been finished and we had put the gates in their places, we assigned to the temple guards and to the members of the [sacred] choir and the other descendants of Levi the work that they were to do.
Amola gagoi amola logo ga: su huluane da gagoi dagoi ba: i. Amola ninia da Debolo sosodo aligisu dunu, Debolo gesami hea: su dunu amola Lifai dunu ilima ilia hawa: hamosu ilegei.
2 I appointed two men to [help me to] govern Jerusalem, my brother Hanani and Hananiah who was the commander of the fortress [in Jerusalem]. Hananiah always did his work reliably, and he revered God more than most other people do.
Na da dunu aduna Yelusaleme moilai ouligima: ne ilegei. Amo da naeya Hana: inai amola Ha: nanaia (e da dadi gagui ouligisu dunu gasa bagade gagoi amo ouligisu). Ha: nanaia da Godema nodone beda: su. Ea hou da noga: idafa, eno dunu huluane baligisu.
3 I said to them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until late each morning. And close the gates and put the bars across the doors [(late in each afternoon/before sunset)] while the gatekeepers are still guarding the gates.” I also told them to appoint some people who lived in Jerusalem to be guards [on the wall], and to assign some of them to be guards at certain other places and to assign others to guard the area close to their own houses.
Na da elama sia: i, amo ela da Yelusaleme gagoi logo ga: su amo mae doawane, eso da heda: i dagoiba: le fawane doasima: ne sia: i. Amola logo sosodo aligisu dunu da hame helefila asili, daeya doaga: sea hedolo noga: le ga: sima: ne sia: i. Amola, na da ela da Yelusaleme esalebe dunu mogili sosodo aligimusa: ilegema: ne sia: i. Amola amo dunu ilia ouligibi sogebi noga: le olelema: ne amola mogili ilia diasudafa amo sosodo aligisa lafia: ma: ne, amo dunu ilegema: ne na da sia: i.
4 The city [of Jerusalem] covered a large area, but [at that time] not many people lived in the city, and they had not built many new houses yet [HYP].
Yelusaleme da moilai bai bagade galu. Be amo ganodini da dunu bagahame esalebe ba: i. Amola amo esoga diasu bagahame gagui dialebe ba: i.
5 [To defend the city, we needed more people there.] Then God gave me the idea to summon the leaders and officials and [other] people, and to look in the books [in which were written the names] of all the people and their clans. So I found the records of the people who had first returned from Babylonia. This is what I found written in those records:
Gode da na dogoga sia: beba: le, na da dunu huluane, ilia ouligisu hina dunu amola ouligisu dunu huluane gilisima: ne sia: i. Bai ilia dio amola hou dedei, na da ba: mu hanai galu. Na da dunu ilia musa: mugululi asi fisili buhagi, amo ilia dio dedei hogolalu ba: i dagoi. Ilia sia: musa: dedei da hagudu dedei diala.
6 (This is a list/Here are the names) of the people who returned to Jerusalem and to other places in Judea. They had been living in Babylonia since King Nebuchadnezzar’s army had captured their relatives/ancestors and took them to Babylonia. But they had returned to Judea and were living in the towns [where their ancestors had lived].
“Mugululi asi dunu bagohame da Ba: bilone soge fisili, Yelusaleme soge amola Yuda soge, amoga buhagi. Ilia da ilia musa: moilaidafa amoga buhagi. Musa: Nebiuga: denese da amo mugululi asi dunu ilia sosogo fi lale, Ba: bilone sogega udigili se dabe hamomusa: oule asi.
7 Their leaders were Zerubbabel, Joshua, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah, and me. This is a list of the number of men in each clan who returned:

46 Temple workers who returned were descendants of these men: Ziha, Hasupha, Tabbaoth,

47 Keros, Sia [who is also known as Siaha], Padon,
48 Lebanah, Hagabah, Shalmai,
49 Hanan, Giddel, Gahar,
50 Reaiah, Rezin, Nekoda,
51 Gazzam, Uzza, Paseah,

57 Descendants of the servants of King Solomon who returned were: Sotai, Sophereth [who is also called Hassophereth], Perida [who is also known as Peruda],
Hina bagade Soloumane ea hawa: hamosu dunu ilia da mugululi asi fisili, buhagi amo ilia dio da hagudu dedei amo, Soudai, Ha: soufelede, Biluda, Ya: iala, Dagone, Gidele, Siefadaia, Ha: dili, Bogilede, Ha: sebaime amola A: imi.
58 Jaalah, Darkon, Giddel,
59 Shephatiah, Hattil, Pokereth-hazzebaim, and Amon.
60 Altogether, there were 392 temple workers and descendants of Solomon’s servants who returned.
Debolo hawa: hamosu dunu, Soloumane ea hawa: hamosu dunu amola amo iligaga fi da mugululi asi amo fisili, buhagi amo ilia idi huluane da 392.
61 Another group of 642 people from the clans of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda also returned. They came from the towns of Tel-Melah, Tel-Harsha, Kerub, Addan ([which is also known as Addon]), and Immer [in Babylonia]. But they could not prove that they were descendants of Israelis.
Dunu idi652 agoane ilia da Isala: ili sosogo fi amo Dila: iya fi amola Doubaia fi, Nigouda fi, (ilia da musa: moilai amo Dele Mila, Dele Hasa, Sielabe, A:da: ne amola Imaia moilai amo ganodini esalu) ilia amola da mugululi asi fisili masa: ne, buhagi. Be ilia da Isala: ili dunu iligaga fidafa amo dafawaneyale dawa: mu da hamedei. Bai ilia dio dedei da fisi dagoi ba: i.
63 Priests from the clans of Hobaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai also returned. Barzillai had married a woman who is a descendant of [a man named] Barzillai from [the] Gilead [region], and he had taken his wife’s family name.
Amola gobele salasu fi eno da gobele salasu fidafa amo dawa: mu da gogolei. Bai ilia hou dedei amola da fisi dagoi. Ilia dio da Haba: iya, Ha: gose amola Basila: iai. (Basila: iai gobele salasu fi ilia aowalali dunu da Basila: iai Gilia: de fi uda amo lai. E da ea aowa fi dio lai dagoi). Be amo dunu da ilia aowalali noga: le olelemu da hamedeiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da ili gobele salasu hamoma: ne hame ilegei.
64 They searched in the records that contained the names of people’s ancestors, but they could not find the names of those clans, so they were not allowed to have the rights and duties that priests have right away.
65 The governor told them that before they could eat the food offered as sacrifices, a priest should use the marked stones [to find out what God said about their being priests].
Yu eagene ouligisu dunu e da amo dunu ilia da Godema iasu ha: i manu amo hame manu sia: i. Gobele salasu dunu da Ulimi igi amola Damini igi amo ea hou bu noga: le dawa: sea fawane, amo ha: i manu da defea, e sia: i.
66 Altogether, there were 42,360 people who returned to Judea.
Musa: mugululi asi dunu da Isala: ili sogega buhagi amo ilia idi huluane da-42,360. Amola amo dunu ilia hawa: hamosu dunu (dunu amola uda) amo ilia idi da- 7,337.

67 There were also 7,337 of their servants, and 245 singers, which included men and women.
68 The Israelis also brought back [from Babylonia] 736 horses, 245 mules,
69 435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
70 Some of the leaders of the clans gave gifts for the work [of rebuilding the temple]. I, being the governor, gave (17 pounds/8.6 kg.) of gold, 50 bowls [to be used in the temple], and 530 robes for the priests.
Mugululi asi dunu buhagi amo da Hina Gode Ea Debolo diasu Yelusaleme moilai amo ganodini amoga doaga: loba, fi ouligisu dunu mogili da Debolo amo ea musa: sogebiga bu gaguma: ne, liligi hahawane dogolegele iasu.

71 Some of the leaders of the clans gave a total of (337 pounds/153 kg.) of gold, and (3,215 pounds/1,460 kg.) of silver.
72 The rest of the people gave a total of (337 pounds/153 kg.) of gold, (2,923 pounds/1,330 kg.) of silver, and 67 robes for the priests.
73 So the priests, the [other] descendants of Levi [who helped the priests], the temple guards, the musicians, the temple workers, and many ordinary people, who were all Israelis, started to live in the towns and cities of Judea [where their ancestors had lived].
Gobele salasu dunu, Lifai dunu, gesami hea: su dunu, Debolo sosodo aligisu dunu, Debolo hawa: hamosu dunu amola Isala: ili dunu eno huluane da ilia aowalalia moilai Yuda soge amo ganodini fi galu.
