Nehemiah 7
1 When the wall was finished and I had set up the doors in place, and the gatekeepers and singers and Levites had been appointed,
Na rĩrĩ, rũthingo rwarĩka gwakwo rĩngĩ, na niĩ ngĩkorwo njĩkĩrĩte mĩrango ihingo-inĩ-rĩ, nĩrĩo arangĩri a ihingo, na aini, na Alawii maathuurirwo.
2 I gave my brother Hanani charge over Jerusalem, along with Hananiah who had oversight of the fortress, for he was a faithful man and feared God more than many.
Nĩndatuire Hanani mũrũ wa baba mũrũgamĩrĩri wa Jerusalemu, marĩ na Hanania mũnene wa gĩikaro kĩgitĩre kĩa mũthamaki, tondũ aarĩ mũndũ mwĩhokeku, na agetigĩra Ngai gũkĩra andũ arĩa angĩ.
3 I said to them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot. While the gatekeepers are on guard, you may shut the doors and bar them. Appoint guards from those who live in Jerusalem, some at the place of their guard station, and some in front of their own homes.”
Ngĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ihingo cia Jerusalemu itikahingũragwo, o nginya rĩrĩa riũa rĩrĩkoragwo rĩarĩte. Ningĩ o na rĩrĩa arangĩri a ihingo marĩ wĩra-inĩ, nĩmaikarage mahingĩte mĩrango ĩyo, na makamĩĩkĩra mĩgĩĩko. Ningĩ mũthuure aikari a Jerusalemu matuĩke arangĩri, amwe marangagĩre harĩa matuĩrĩirwo kũrangĩra, na arĩa angĩ marangagĩre hakuhĩ na nyũmba ciao.”
4 Now the city was wide and large, but there were few people within it, and no houses had yet been rebuilt.
Na rĩrĩ, itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu rĩarĩ inene mũno na rĩkaarama, no andũ arĩa maatũũraga kuo maarĩ anini, na nyũmba itiakoretwo ciakĩtwo rĩngĩ.
5 My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, the officials, and the people to enroll them by their families. I found the book of the genealogy of those who returned at the first and found the following written in it.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ngai wakwa akĩnjĩkĩra wendo ngoro-inĩ yakwa wa gũcookanĩrĩria andũ arĩa maarĩ igweta, na anene, na andũ arĩa angĩ nĩguo meyandĩkithie kũringana na nyũmba ciao. Nĩndonire ibuku rĩa marĩĩtwa ma njiaro cia arĩa maarĩ a mbere gũcooka. Ũũ nĩguo ndonire rĩandĩkĩtwo:
6 “These are the people of the province who went up out of the captivity of those exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon took into exile. They returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, each to his city.

61 These were the people who went up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Kerub, Addon, and Immer. But they could not prove that they or their ancestors' families were descendants from Israel:
Nao aya nĩo maambatire kuuma matũũra ma Teli-Mela, na Teli-Harasha, na Kerubu, na Adoni, na Imeri, no matingĩonanirie atĩ nyũmba ciao ciarĩ cia njiaro cia Isiraeli:

63 Those who were from the priests: the descendants of Habaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai (who took his wife from the daughters of Barzillai of Gilead and was called by their name).
Na kuuma kũrĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai: njiaro cia Hobaia, na Hakozu, na Barizilai (mũndũ ũrĩa wahikĩtie mwarĩ wa Barizilai ũrĩa Mũgileadi, na eetanagio na rĩĩtwa rĩu).
64 These sought their records among those enrolled by their genealogy, but they could not be found, so they were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
Andũ acio nĩmacaririe maandĩko ma nyũmba ciao, no matiigana kũmona, nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩeherio thiritũ-inĩ ya athĩnjĩri-Ngai, magĩtuuo ta andũ maarĩ na thaahu.
65 Then the governor said to them that they should not be allowed to eat the priests' share of food from the sacrifices until there rose up a priest with Urim and Thummim.
Nake barũthi wa kũu akĩmaatha matikarĩe irio iria therie mũno, o nginya gũkaagĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũratungata na Urimu na Thumimu.
66 The whole assembly together was 42,360,

67 besides their male servants and their female servants, of whom there were 7,337. They had 245 singing men and women.

70 Some from among the heads of ancestors' families gave gifts for the work. The governor gave to the treasury one thousand darics of gold, 50 basins, and 530 priestly garments.
Atongoria amwe a nyũmba nĩmarutire indo ciao nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra ũcio. Barũthi wa kũu nĩaheanire durakima 1,000 cia thahabu, na mbakũri 50, na nguo cia athĩnjĩri-Ngai 530, nacio ikĩigwo kĩgĩĩna-inĩ.
71 Some of the heads of ancestors' families gave into the treasury for the work twenty thousand darics of gold and 2,200 minas of silver.
Nao atongoria amwe a nyũmba nĩmaheanire indo nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra ũcio, durakima 20,000 cia thahabu, na ratiri 2,200 cia betha, nacio ikĩigwo kĩgĩĩna-inĩ.
72 The rest of the people gave twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand minas of silver, and sixty-seven priestly garments.

73 So the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the temple servants, and all Israel lived in their cities. By the seventh month the people of Israel were settled in their cities.”
