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.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí a tún odi mọ tán tí mo sì ri àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn sí ààyè wọn, a sì yan àwọn aṣọ́bodè, àwọn akọrin àti àwọn Lefi.
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.
Mo fún Hanani arákùnrin mi pẹ̀lú Hananiah olórí ilé ìṣọ́ ní àṣẹ lórí Jerusalẹmu, nítorí tí ó jẹ́ ènìyàn olóòtítọ́, ó sì bẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run jù bí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn ti ṣe lọ.
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.
Mo sọ fún wọn pé, “A kò gbọdọ̀ ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn Jerusalẹmu títí oòrùn yóò fi mú. Nígbà tí àwọn aṣọ́bodè bá sì wà lẹ́nu iṣẹ́, jẹ́ kí wọn ti ìlẹ̀kùn kí wọn sì há wọn. Bákan náà, yàn nínú àwọn tí ń gbé Jerusalẹmu gẹ́gẹ́ bí olùṣọ́. Àwọn mìíràn níbi tí a pín wọn sí àti àwọn mìíràn ní tòsí ilé e wọn.”
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].
Ìlú náà tóbi ó sì ní ààyè, ṣùgbọ́n ènìyàn inú rẹ̀ kéré, a kò sì tí ì tún àwọn ilé inú rẹ̀ kọ́.
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:
Nígbà náà ni Ọlọ́run mi fi sí mi ní ọkàn láti kó àwọn ọlọ́lá, àwọn ìjòyè, àti àwọn ènìyàn jọ fún ìforúkọsílẹ̀ ní ìdílé ìdílé. Mo rí ìwé àkọsílẹ̀ ìtàn ìran àwọn tí ó kọ́ gòkè padà wá láti ìgbèkùn. Èyí ni ohun tí mo rí tí a kọ sínú ìwé náà.
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].
Èyí ni àwọn ènìyàn agbègbè náà tí wọ́n sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá láti ìgbèkùn, àwọn tí Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli ti kó ní ìgbèkùn (wọ́n padà sí Jerusalẹmu àti Juda, olúkúlùkù sí ìlú u rẹ̀.

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.

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].

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.

Díẹ̀ lára àwọn olórí ìdílé fún ilé ìṣúra ní ogún ẹgbẹ̀rún dariki wúrà àti ẹgbọ̀kànlá mina fàdákà.
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].
