Nekkemiya 7
1 Bbugwe bwe yaggwa okuzimba nga n’enzigi ziwangiddwamu, abakuumi ba wankaaki, n’abayimbi, n’Abaleevi nga bamaze okulondebwa,
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 ne ndyoka nonda muganda wange Kanani awamu ne Kananiya omuduumizi w’ekigo okuvunaanyizibwanga Yerusaalemi, kubanga Kananiya yali yeesigika, ate ng’atya Katonda okusinga abantu abalala bangi.
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 Ne mbagamba nti, “Emiryango gya Yerusaalemi tegiteekwa kuggulwawo okutuusa ng’omusana tegunnakaalama nnyo. Abakuumi nga bakyali ku miryango, muggaleewo muginywereze ddala. Mu batuuze ba Yerusaalemi, mulondemu abanaakuumanga, abamu ku bo bakuumenga mu mpalo n’abalala bakuumenga ebifo ebiriraanye ennyumba zaabwe.”
I said to them, “Do not 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 Ekibuga kyali kinene era nga kigazi naye abantu abaakibeerangamu nga batono, nga n’ennyumba tezinnaddaabirizibwa.
Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not built.
5 Awo Katonda wange nannumiriza, okuyita abakungu n’abakulembeze, n’abantu abaabulijjo okujja okwewandiisa ng’ennyiriri zaabwe bwe zaali. Ne ndaba ekitabo ekyalimu ennyiriri zaabo abaasooka okudda, ne nsangamu amannya gano:
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 Bano be bantu ab’omu ssaza abaava mu buwaŋŋanguse abaali banyagiddwa Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni; ne baddayo e Yerusaalemi ne Yuda, buli muntu mu kibuga ky’ewaabwe.
These are the children of the province who went up out of the captivity of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, everyone to his city,
