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.
Haddaba markii derbigii la dhisay, oo aan taagay albaabbadii, oo irid-dhawryadii iyo kuwii gabayaaga ahaa iyo kuwii reer Laawi la doortay,
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.
ayaan Yeruusaalem madax uga dhigay walaalkay Xanaanii, iyo Xananyaah oo ahaa taliyihii qalcadda, waayo, wuxuu ahaa nin aamin ah, oo cabsida Ilaahna dad badan buu kaga horreeyey.
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.
Oo waxaan iyagii ku idhi, Jeer ay qorraxdu kululaato yaan la furin irdaha Yeruusaalem, oo intay waardiyayaashu taagan yihiin albaabbada ha la xidho, oo idinku qataara, dadka Yeruusaalem degganna waardiyayaal ka doorta, oo mid waluba ha dhawro meel gurigiisa ka soo hor jeedda.
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].
Haddaba magaaladu way ballaadhnayd, wayna weynayd, laakiinse dadku way ku yaraayeen, oo guryihiina ma ay dhisnayn.
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:
Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu qalbigayga geliyey inaan soo wada ururiyo kuwii gobta ahaa, iyo taliyayaashii, iyo dadkii oo dhanba in abtiriskooda la tiriyo. Oo waxaan helay buuggii uu ku qornaa abtiriskii kuwii markii hore yimid, oo waxaan ka helay oo gudihiisa ku qornaa:
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].
Haddaba kuwanu waa dadkii gobolka ee ka soo noqday maxaabiisnimadii, oo ku jiray kuwii la kaxaystay, oo Nebukadnesar oo ahaa boqorkii Baabuloon uu u kaxaystay Baabuloon, oo ku soo noqday Yeruusaalem iyo dalkii Yahuudah, mid waluba magaaladiisii,
