< 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.
Now 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 my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he [was] a faithful man, and feared God above 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, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun shall be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar [them]: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one [to be] 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] large and great: but the people in it [were] few, 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 my God put into my heart to assemble the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of them who came up at the first, and found written in it,
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;
