Neyemi 7
1 Tango misala ya kotonga mir esilaki mpe natiaki bizipelo ya bikuke, batiaki bakengeli bikuke, bayembi mpe Balevi: bato na bato na mosala na bango.
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 Napesaki mokumba ya kokamba engumba Yelusalemi epai ya Anani, ndeko na ngai ya mobali, mpe epai ya Anania, moyangeli ya engumba batonga makasi, oyo, koleka bato ebele, azalaki moto ya sembo mpe azalaki kotosa Nzambe.
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 Nalobaki na bango: — Bikuke ya Yelusalemi esengeli te kofungwama liboso ete moyi engala, mpe, na pokwa, bakokanga makasi bizipelo na yango mpe bakokotisa yango bikangelo, wana bakengeli bikuke bakozala nanu na bisika na bango ya mosala. Botia lisusu lokola bakengeli, bavandi ya Yelusalemi: bamoko bakozala na bisika na bango ya mosala, mpe bamosusu bakokengela pembeni ya bandako na bango.
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 Nzokande, etando ya engumba Yelusalemi ezalaki monene mpe ekenda mosika makasi, kasi bato kati na yango bazalaki moke mpe bandako etongamaki nanu te.
Now the city was great and very wide, and the people in its midst were few, and the houses were not yet built.
5 Nzambe na ngai apesaki ngai makanisi ya kosangisa bankumu, bakambi mpe bato mosusu mpo na kotanga motango na bango kolanda mabota na bango. Bongo, namonaki buku ya bokoko ya ba-oyo bazongaki bato ya liboso longwa na bowumbu. Tala makomi oyo namonaki kuna:
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 Tala bato ya etuka ya Yuda, oyo Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, amemaki na bowumbu; mpe wuta na bowumbu, bazongaki na Yelusalemi mpe na Yuda, moto na moto na engumba na ye;
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.
