< 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.
And it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
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.
that I gave charge to Ananias my brother, and Ananias the ruler of the palace, over Jerusalem: for he was a true man, and one that feared God beyond many.
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, The gates of Jerusalem shall not be opened till sunrise; and while they are still watching, let the doors be shut, and bolted; and set watches of them that dwell in Jerusalem, [every] man at his post, and [every] man over against his 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] wide and large; and the people [were] few in it, and the houses were not 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:
And God put [it] into my heart, and I gathered the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, into companies: and I found a register of the company that came up first, and I found written in it as follows:
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;
Now these [are] the children of the country, that came up from captivity, of the number which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon carried away, and they returned to Jerusalem and to Juda, [every] man to his city;
