Nehemia 7
1 Na rĩrĩ, rũthingo rwarĩka gwakwo rĩngĩ, na niĩ ngĩkorwo njĩkĩrĩte mĩrango ihingo-inĩ-rĩ, nĩrĩo arangĩri a ihingo, na aini, na Alawii maathuurirwo.
Then, after the wall was built, and I set up the double doors, and I enrolled the gatekeepers, and the singing men, and the Levites,
2 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.
I instructed Hanani, my brother, and Hananiah, the leader of the house of Jerusalem, (for he seemed to be a truthful man, fearing God more than the others, )
3 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.”
and I said to them: “Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot.” And while they were standing there, the gates were closed and barred. And I stationed guards from the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each one in his turn, and each one opposite his own house.
4 Na rĩrĩ, itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu rĩarĩ inene mũno na rĩkaarama, no andũ arĩa maatũũraga kuo maarĩ anini, na nyũmba itiakoretwo ciakĩtwo rĩngĩ.
Now the city was great and very wide, and the people in its midst were few, and the houses were not yet built.
5 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:
But God had given to my heart, and I gathered the nobles, and the magistrates, and the common people, so that I might enroll them. And I found a book of the census of those who first went up, and in it there was found written:
6 Aya nĩo andũ a bũrũri arĩa maacookire kuuma bũrũri ũrĩa maatahĩirwo, arĩa Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni aatahĩte akamatwara Babuloni bũrũri wa ũkombo (nao magĩcooka Jerusalemu na Juda, o mũndũ itũũra-inĩ rĩake,
These are the sons of the province, who ascended from the captivity of the transmigration, those whom Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had taken away, and who returned into Jerusalem and Judea, each one to his own city.
