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.
Now when the wall was built and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
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 put my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the fortress, in charge of Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man and feared God above many.
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.”
I said to them, “Don’t let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they stand guard, let them shut the doors, and you bar them; and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, everyone in his watch, with everyone near his 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 wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not 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:
My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be listed by genealogy. I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found this written in it:
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 children of the province who went up out of the captivity of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, everyone to his city,
