Nehemia 11

1 Ary nonina tany Jerosalema ny mpanapaka ny olona; ary ny olona sisa nanao filokana hahatonga ny ampahafolony honina any Jerosalema, tanàna masìna, fa ny sivy toko kosa dia any an-tanàna hafa.

And the rulers of the people were living in Jerusalem: the rest of the people made selection, by the decision of chance, of one out of every ten to be living in Jerusalem, the holy town; the other nine to go to the other towns.

2 Ary nisaoran’ ny olona ny lehilahy rehetra izay nanolo-tena honina any Jerosalema.

And the people gave a blessing to all the men who were freely offering to take up their places in Jerusalem.

3 Ary izao no ben’ ny tany izay nonina tany Jerosalema; fa ny tao an-tanànan’ ny Joda samy nonina tao amin’ ny taniny avy, tao an-tanànany, dia ny Isiraely, ny mpisorona sy ny Levita sy ny Netinima ary ny taranaky ny mpanompon’ i Solomona.

Now these are the chiefs of the divisions of the country who were living in Jerusalem: but in the towns of Judah everyone was living on his heritage in the towns, that is, Israel, the priests, the Levites, the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon's servants.

4 Ary tany Jerosalema no nonenan’ ny sasany tamin’ ny taranak’ i Joda sy ny taranak’ i Benjamina. Ny avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Joda dia Ataia, zanak’ i Ozia, zanak’ i Zakaria, zanak’ i Amaria, zanak’ i Sefatia, zanak’ i Mahalalila, avy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Fareza;

And in Jerusalem there were living certain of the children of Judah and of Benjamin. Of the children of Judah: Athaiah, the son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalalel, of the children of Perez;

5 ary Mahaseia, zanak’ i Baroka, zanak’ i Kola-hoze, zanak’ i Hazaia, zanak’ i Adaia, zanak’ i Joariba, zanak’ i Zakaria, zanak’ ilay Silonita.

And Maaseiah, the son of Baruch, the son of Col-hozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of the Shilonite.

6 Ny taranak’ i Fareza rehetra izay nonina tany Jerosalema dia lehilahy mahery valo amby enim-polo amby efa-jato.

All the sons of Perez living in Jerusalem were four hundred and sixty-eight men of good position.

7 Ary izao no taranak’ i Benjamina: Salo, zanak’ i Mesolama, zanak’ i Joeda, zanak’ i Pedaia, zanak’ i Kolaia, zanak’ i Mahaseia, zanak’ Itiela, zanak’ i Jesaia;

And these are the sons of Benjamin: Sallu, the son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jeshaiah.

8 ary nanarakaraka azy Gabay sy Salay; dia valo amby roa-polo amby sivinjato.

And after him Gabbai, Sallai, nine hundred and twenty-eight.

9 Ary Joela, zanak’ i Zikry, no mpifehy azy; ary Joda, zanak’ i Senoa, no lefitry ny komandin’ ny tanàna.

And Joel, the son of Zichri, was their overseer; and Judah, the son of Hassenuah, was second over the town.

10 Ny avy tamin’ ny mpisorona dia Jedaia, zanak’ i Joariba, ary Jakina.

Of the priests: Jedaiah, the son of Joiarib, Jachin,

11 Ary Seraia, zanak’ i Hilkia, zanak’ i Mesolama, zanak’ i Zadoka, zanak’ i Meraiota, zanak’ i Ahitoba, no mpanapaka ny tranon’ Andriamanitra.

Seraiah, the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God,

12 Ary ny rahalahin’ ireo izay mpanao ny raharaha tao an-trano dia roa amby roa-polo amby valon-jato; ary Adaia, zanak’ i Jerohama, zanak’ i Pelalia, zanak’ i Amzy, zanak’ i Zakaria, zanak’ i Pasora, zanak’ i Malkia,

And their brothers who did the work of the house, eight hundred and twenty-two; and Adaiah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah,

13 ary ny rahalahiny, izay samy lohan’ ny fianakaviana, dia roa amby efa-polo amby roan-jato; ary Amasay, zanak’ i Azarela, zanak’ i Ahazay, zanak’ i Mesilemota, zanak’ Imera,

And his brothers, heads of families, two hundred and forty-two; and Amashsai, the son of Azarel, the son of Ahzai, the son of Meshillemoth, the son of Immer,

14 mbamin’ ny rahalahin’ ireo, dia lehilahy mahery valo amby roa-polo amby zato; ary Zabdiela, zanak’ i Hagedolima, no mpifehy azy.

And their brothers, men of war, a hundred and twenty-eight; and their overseer was Zabdiel, the son of Haggedolim.

15 Ary ny avy tamin’ ny Levita dia Semaia, zanak’ i Hasoba, zanak’ i Azrikama, zanak’ i Hasabia, zanak’ i Bony;

And of the Levites: Shemaiah, the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni,

16 ary Sabetahy sy Jozabada, avy tamin’ ny lohan’ ny Levita, no tonian’ ny raharaha teo ivelan’ ny tranon’ Andriamanitra.

And Shabbethai and Jozabad, of the chiefs of the Levites, who were responsible for the outside business of the house of God;

17 Ary Matania, zanak’ i Mika, zanak’ i Zabdy, zanak’ i Asafa, no mpiventy, raha natao ny fisaorana tao am-pivavahana; ary Bakbokia no nanarakaraka teo amin’ ny rahalahiny, dia vao Abda, zanak’ i Samoa, zanak’ i Galala, zanak’ i Jedotona.

And Mattaniah, the son of Mica, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, who had to give the first note of the song of praise in prayer, and Bakbukiah, the second among his brothers, and Abda, the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun.

18 Ny Levita rehetra tao an-tanàna masìna dia efatra amby valo-polo amby roan-jato.

All the Levites in the holy town were two hundred and eighty-four.

19 Ary ny mpiandry varavarana dia Akoba sy Talmona mbamin’ ny rahalahiny izay niambina ny vavahady, dia roa amby fito-polo amby zato.

In addition the door-keepers, Akkub, Talmon, and their brothers who kept watch at the doors, were a hundred and seventy-two.

20 Ary ny sisa tamin’ ny Isiraely sy ny mpisorona sy ny Levita, dia teny an-tanàna rehetra any Joda, samy tao amin’ ny zara-taniny avy.

And the rest of Israel, of the priests, the Levites, were in all the towns of Judah, every one in his heritage.

21 Fa ny Netinima dia nonina tany Ofela; ary Ziha sy Gispa no nifehy azy.

But the Nethinim were living in the Ophel; and Ziha and Gishpa were over the Nethinim.

22 Ary ny mpifehy ny Levita tany Jerosalema amin’ ny raharaha momba ny tranon’ Andriamanitra dia Ozy, zanak’ i Bany, zanak’ i Hasabia, zanak’ i Matania, zanak’ i Mika, isan’ ny mpihira, taranak’ i Asafa.

And the overseer of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi, the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, of the sons of Asaph, the music-makers, who was over the business of the house of God.

23 Fa ny didin’ ny mpanjaka ny amin’ ireo mpihira ireo dia ny hahazoany izay anjara tokony ho azy isan’ andro.

For there was an order from the king about them and a regular amount for the music-makers, for their needs day by day.

24 Ary Petahia, zanak’ i Mesezabela, isan’ ny taranak’ i Zera, zanak’ i Joda, dia teo anilan’ ny mpanjaka hitandrina ny raharaha rehetra ny amin’ ny olona.

And Pethahiah, the son of Meshezabel, of the sons of Zerah, the son of Judah, was the king's servant in everything to do with the people.

25 Fa ny amin’ ny vohitra eny an-tsaha, dia ny sasany tamin’ ny taranak’ i Joda no nonina tany Kiriat-arba sy ny zana-bohiny, ary tany Dibona sy ny zana-bohiny, ary tany Jekabzela sy ny zana-bohiny,

And for the daughter-towns with their fields, some of the men of Judah were living in Kiriath-arba and its daughter-towns, and in Dibon and its daughter-towns, and in Jekabzeel and its daughter-towns,

26 ary tany Jesoa sy Molada sy Beti-paleta

And in En-rimmon, and in Zorah, and in Jarmuth,

Zanoah, Adullam and their daughter-towns, Lachish and its fields, Azekah and its daughter-towns. So they were living from Beer-sheba to the valley of Hinnom.

31 Ary ny taranak’ i Benjamina kosa no hatrany Geba ka hatrany Mikmasy sy Aia sy Betela sy ny zana-bohiny,

And the children of Benjamin were living from Geba, at Michmash and Aija, and at Beth-el and its daughter-towns,

36 Ary tao amin’ ny Benjamina nisy Levita, izay isan’ ny antokon’ ny Joda.

And of the Levites, certain divisions in Judah were joined to Benjamin.
