Nehemiya 7
1 Bayan an sāke gina katangar na kuma sa ƙofofi a wurarensu, sai aka naɗa masu tsaro, da mawaƙa, da Lawiyawa.
After the wall had been finished and we had put the gates in their places, we assigned to the temple guards and to the members of the [sacred] choir and the other descendants of Levi the work that they were to do.
2 Na sa ɗan’uwana Hanani tare da Hananiya shugaban fada aikin riƙon Urushalima, domin shi Hananiya mutum mai mutunci ne, mai tsoron Allah fiye da yawancin mutane.
I appointed two men to [help me to] govern Jerusalem, my brother Hanani and Hananiah who was the commander of the fortress [in Jerusalem]. Hananiah always did his work reliably, and he revered God more than most other people do.
3 Na ce musu, “Kada a buɗe ƙofofin Urushalima da sassafe sai rana ta fito sosai. Yayinda matsaran ƙofofi suna aiki, a kulle ƙofofin a sa musu sakata kafin matsaran su tashi, wajen fāɗuwar rana. Ku kuma naɗa mazaunan Urushalima a matsayin masu tsaro, waɗansunsu a wuraren aiki, waɗansun kuma kusa da gidajensu.”
I said to them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until late each morning. And close the gates and put the bars across the doors [(late in each afternoon/before sunset)] while the gatekeepers are still guarding the gates.” I also told them to appoint some people who lived in Jerusalem to be guards [on the wall], and to assign some of them to be guards at certain other places and to assign others to guard the area close to their own houses.
4 Birnin Urushalima kuwa tana da fāɗi da girma, amma mutanen da suke zama a cikinta kaɗan ne, ba a kuma gina gidaje da yawa ba tukuna.
The city [of Jerusalem] covered a large area, but [at that time] not many people lived in the city, and they had not built many new houses yet [HYP].
5 Sai Allahna ya sa a zuciyata in tara manyan gari, shugabanni da talakawa don a rubuta su bisa ga iyalansu. Na sami littafin asali na waɗanda suka fara dawowa. Ga abin da na tarar an rubuta a ciki.
[To defend the city, we needed more people there.] Then God gave me the idea to summon the leaders and officials and [other] people, and to look in the books [in which were written the names] of all the people and their clans. So I found the records of the people who had first returned from Babylonia. This is what I found written in those records:
6 Waɗannan su ne mutanen yankin da suka dawo daga zaman bautar da Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon ya kame (sun dawo Urushalima da Yahuda, kowanne zuwa garinsa.
(This is a list/Here are the names) of the people who returned to Jerusalem and to other places in Judea. They had been living in Babylonia since King Nebuchadnezzar’s army had captured their relatives/ancestors and took them to Babylonia. But they had returned to Judea and were living in the towns [where their ancestors had lived].
