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.

Now the leaders of the people lived in Jerusalem. Yet truly, the remainder of the people cast lots, so that they might choose one part in ten who were to live in Jerusalem, the holy city, and nine parts for the other cities.

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

Then the people blessed all the men who freely offered themselves to live 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.

And so these are the leaders of the province, who were living in Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah. Now each one lived in his possession, in their cities: Israel, the priests, the Levites, the temple servants, and the sons of the servants of Solomon.

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 lived some of the sons of Judah, and some of the sons of Benjamin: of the sons of Judah, Athaiah, the son of Aziam, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalalel, of the sons 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.

Maaseiah, the son of Baruch, the son of Colhozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of a Silonite.

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

All these sons of Perez lived in Jerusalem, four hundred sixty-eight strong men.

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;

Now 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. These were nine hundred 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 foremost leader. And Judah, the son of Hassenuah, was second over the city.

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

And from the priests, there were 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 were doing the works of the temple: eight hundred twenty-two. And Adaiah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zachariah, 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, the leaders among the fathers: two hundred forty-two. And Amassai, 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, who were very powerful: one hundred twenty-eight. And their foremost leader was Zabdiel, the son of the powerful.

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

And from the Levites, there were 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, who were over all the works which were exterior to the house of God, from among the leaders of the Levites.

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, was the leader of praise and confession in prayer, with Bakbukiah, 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 city were two hundred 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.

And the gatekeepers, Akkub, Talmon, and their brothers, who guarded the doorways, were one hundred 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 remainder of Israel, the priests and the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, each one in his own possession.

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

And the temple servants were living at Ophel, with Ziha and Gishpa, of the temple servants.

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 director of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi, the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica. The singing men in the ministry of the house of God were from the sons of Asaph.

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

In fact, there was a precept of the king about them, and an order among the singing men, throughout each 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, from the sons of Zerah, the son of Judah, was at the hand of the king concerning every word of 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 in the houses throughout all their regions. Some of the sons of Judah lived at Kiriatharba and in its daughter villages, and at Dibon and in its daughter villages, and at Jekabzeel and in its vicinity,

26 ary tany Jesoa sy Molada sy Beti-paleta

Zanoah, Adullam, and in their villages, at Lachish and its regions, and at Azekah and in its daughter villages. And they dwelt from Beersheba as far as 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,

But the sons of Benjamin lived from Geba, at Michmash, and Aija, and Bethel and in its daughter villages,

32 ary tany Anatota sy Noba sy Anania

and Ono, the valley of craftsmen.

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

And some of the Levites were apportioned with Judah and Benjamin.
