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.

The princes of the people lived in Jerusalem. The rest of the people also cast lots to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem, the holy city, and nine parts in the other cities.

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

The people blessed all the men who willingly offered themselves to dwell 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 province who lived in Jerusalem; but in the cities of Judah, everyone lived in his possession in their cities—Israel, the priests, the Levites, the temple servants, 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;

Some of the children of Judah and of the children of Benjamin lived in Jerusalem. 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 Colhozeh, 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 who lived in Jerusalem were four hundred and sixty-eight valiant 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;

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.

After him Gabbai and 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.

Joel the son of Zichri was their overseer; and Judah the son of Hassenuah was second over the city.

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 God’s house,

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, chiefs of fathers’ households, 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, mighty men of valour, one 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;

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 had the oversight of the outward business of God’s house;

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 was the chief to begin the thanksgiving in prayer, and Bakbukiah, the second amongst 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 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.

Moreover the gatekeepers, Akkub, Talmon, and their brothers, who kept watch at the gates, were one 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.

The residue of Israel, of the priests, and the Levites were in all the cities of Judah, everyone in his inheritance.

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

But the temple servants lived in Ophel; and Ziha and Gishpa were over 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.

The overseer also 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 singers responsible for the service of God’s house.

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

For there was a commandment from the king concerning them, and a settled provision for the singers, as every day required.

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.

Pethahiah the son of Meshezabel, of the children of Zerah the son of Judah, was at the king’s hand in all matters concerning 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,

As for the villages with their fields, some of the children of Judah lived in Kiriath Arba and its towns, in Dibon and its towns, in Jekabzeel and its villages,

26 ary tany Jesoa sy Molada sy Beti-paleta

in Jeshua, in Moladah, Beth Pelet,

27 sy Hazara-soala ary Beri-sheba sy ny zana-bohiny,

in Hazar Shual, in Beersheba and its towns,

28 ary tany Ziklaga sy Mekona sy ny zana-bohiny,

in Ziklag, in Meconah and in its towns,

29 ary tany En-rimona sy Zora sy Jarmota

in En Rimmon, in Zorah, in Jarmuth,

30 sy Zanoa sy Adolama sy ny zana-bohiny, sy tany Lakisy sy ny sahany, ary tany Azeka sy ny zana-bohiny. Ary nonina hatram Beri-sheba ka hatramin’ ny lohasahan’ i Himona izy.

Zanoah, Adullam, and their villages, Lachish and its fields, and Azekah and its towns. So they encamped from Beersheba 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,

The children of Benjamin also lived from Geba onward, at Michmash and Aija, and at Bethel and its towns,

32 ary tany Anatota sy Noba sy Anania

at Anathoth, Nob, Ananiah,

33 sy Hazora sy Rama sy Gitaima

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

Of the Levites, certain divisions in Judah settled in Benjamin’s territory.
