Nehemia 7
1 Esi míewu gli la ɖoɖo nu, de ʋɔtru agboawo nu, eye míetia agbonudzɔlawo, hadzilawo kple Levitɔwo la,
Now when the building of the wall was complete and I had put up the doors, and the door-keepers and the music-makers and the Levites had been given their places,
2 metsɔ Yerusalem dzikpɔkpɔ de asi na nɔvinye Hanani kple Hananiya, ame siwo nye mɔ la dzikpɔlawo. Wonye nuteƒewɔla siwo vɔ̃a Mawu wu ame geɖewo.
I made my brother Hanani, and Hananiah, the ruler of the tower, responsible for the government of Jerusalem: for he was a man of good faith, fearing God more than most.
3 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.

And I said to them, Do not let the doors of Jerusalem be open till the sun is high; and while the watchmen are in their places, let the doors be shut and locked: and let the people of Jerusalem be put on watch, every one in his watch, opposite his house.
4 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.
Now the town was wide and great: but the people in it were only a small number, and the houses had not been put up.
5 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.
And my God put it into my heart to get together the rulers and the chiefs and the people so that they might be listed by families. And I came across a record of the names of those who came up at the first, and in it I saw these words:
6 Yudatɔ siwo Nebukadnezar, Babilonia fia, ɖe aboyoe, eye wotrɔ gbɔ va Yudanyigba dzi la
These are the people of the divisions of the kingdom, among those who had been made prisoners by Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and taken away by him, who went back to Jerusalem and Judah, every one to his town;
