Nehemiah 7
1 Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
Esi míewu gli la ɖoɖo nu, de ʋɔtru agboawo nu, eye míetia agbonudzɔlawo, hadzilawo kple Levitɔwo la,
2 That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.
metsɔ Yerusalem dzikpɔkpɔ de asi na nɔvinye Hanani kple Hananiya, ame siwo nye mɔ la dzikpɔlawo. Wonye nuteƒewɔla siwo vɔ̃a Mawu wu ame geɖewo.
3 And I said to them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun shall be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar them: and appoint soldiers of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be opposite his house.
Mede se na wo be, womaʋu Yerusalem ƒe agboawo o va se ɖe esime ɣe nadze nyuie hafi, eye woatu wo, ade ga wo me le esime dzɔlawo aganɔ gliawo ŋu dzɔm ko. Mede se hã be ele be dzɔlawo nanye Yerusalemtɔwo, eye woawɔ dɔ edziedzi. Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, ele be ame sia ame si ƒe aƒe te ɖe gli la ŋu la, nadzɔ gli la ƒe akpa si tsɔ ɖe egbɔ la ŋu.
4 Now the city was large and great: but the people in it were few, and the houses were not built.
Du la lolo, gake emenɔlawo mesɔ gbɔ o, xɔawo hã mesɔ gbɔ o, ke boŋ woɖe ɖe aga tso wo nɔewo gbɔ le du la me.
5 And my God put into my heart to gather the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a family record of the genealogy of them who came up at the first, and found written in it,
Nye Mawu dae ɖe nye dzi dzi be mayɔ takpekpe na bubumewo, dɔnunɔlawo kple ame hahoawo ne woaŋlɔ ŋkɔ ɖe woƒe ƒomeawo me. Mekpɔ ame gbãtɔ siwo gbɔ tso aboyome la ƒe dzidzimegbalẽ. Nu siwo woŋlɔ ɖe eme la woe nye.
6 These are the children of the province, that went up out of the captivity, of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one to his city;

64 These sought their family record among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but it was not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood.
