Nehemiah 7
1 Inge musa ke pot uh safla, ac mutunpot nukewa oaki acn se, ac itukyang orekma lun mwet topang su forfor taran Tempul, oayapa ma kunen un mwet on ac mwet Levi saya.
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 Nga sang mwet luo in leum fin acn Jerusalem: sie pa Hanani, tamulel luk, ac sie pa Hananiah, captain lun un mwet mweun ke pot fulat lun siti uh. Hananiah el arulana akfulatye God in moul lal, oayapa lulalfongiyuk el yohk liki mwet saya nukewa.
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 Nga fahkang eltal in tia fuhlela mutunpot lun Jerusalem in ikak ke lotutang nwe ke faht uh takak, na in kauli ac srumasryukla meet liki mwet topang elos som liki kunokon lalos ke faht uh tili.

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 Jerusalem sie siti na lulap, tusruktu tiana pus mwet muta we, ac soenna pus pac lohm musaiyuk we.
Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not built.
5 God El pirikyu nga in orani mwet uh wi mwet kol ac mwet fulat lalos, ac lohang nu ke ma simla ke takin sou lalos. Nga konauk ma simla kaclos su foloko emeet liki sruoh, ac pa inge ma kalem ke ma nga konauk uh:
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 Pus sin mwet sruoh elos som liki acn Babylon ac foloko nu Jerusalem ac Judah, kais sie nu in acn sel sifacna. Sou lalos elos tuh muta in sruoh Babylonia oe in pacl se Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el tuh usalosla nu we.
