Nehemiah 11

1 And the rulers of the people dwelt at Jerusalem: the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts [to dwell] in [other] cities.

Abakulembeze b’abantu ne babeeranga mu Yerusaalemi, abantu abalala ne bakuba akalulu okulonda omuntu omu ku buli bantu kkumi okugenda okubeera mu Yerusaalemi, ekibuga ekitukuvu; omwenda bo ne basigala mu byalo byabwe.

2 And the people blessed all the men that willingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem.

Abantu ne beebaza abo bonna abeewaayo okubeera mu Yerusaalemi.

3 Now these [are] the chief of the province that dwelt in Jerusalem: but in the cities of Judah dwelt every one in his possession in their cities, [to wit], Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon's servants.

Bano be bakungu b’amasaza abaasenga mu Yerusaalemi: Abayisirayiri abamu, nga mwe muli bakabona n’Abaleevi, n’abaweereza ab’omu yeekaalu, ne bazzukulu ba baddu ba Sulemaani; buli omu yabeeranga ku ttaka lye mu kibanja kye.

Abayisirayiri abalala bonna, awamu ne bakabona, n’Abaleevi, baabeeranga mu byalo byonna ebya Yuda, buli muntu ng’ali ku butaka bwe.

21 But the Nethinims dwelt in Ophel: and Ziha and Gispa [were] over the Nethinims.

Naye abaweereza ba yeekaalu baabeeranga ku lusozi Oferi, era Zika ne Gisupa be baali abakulu baabwe.

22 The overseer also of the Levites at Jerusalem [was] Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micha. Of the sons of Asaph, the singers [were] over the business of the house of God.

23 For [it was] the king's commandment concerning them, that a certain portion should be for the singers, due for every day.

Abayimbi baakoleranga ku biragiro bya kabaka, nga buli lunaku bwe lwetaaganga.

24 And Pethahiah the son of Meshezabeel, of the children of Zerah the son of Judah [was] at the king's hand in all matters concerning the people.
