Nehemia 7
1 Ary nony vita ny manda, ka voalatsako ny lela-vavahady, sady voatendry ny mpiandry varavarana sy ny mpihira ary ny Levita,
When the wall was finished and I had set up the doors in place, and the gatekeepers and singers and Levites had been appointed,
2 dia notendreko Hanany rahalahiko sy Hanania, lehiben’ ny tao an-dapa, hitandrina an’ i Jerosalema, fa lehilahy mahatoky izy sady matahotra an’ Andriamanitra mihoatra noho ny maro.
I gave my brother Hanani charge over Jerusalem, along with Hananiah who had oversight of the fortress, for he was a faithful man and feared God more than many.
3 Koa hoy izaho tamin’ ireo: Aza avela hovohana ny vavahadin’ i Jerosalema mandra-pahafanan’ ny andro; ary raha mbola milanona eo ny mpiambina, dia aoka harindriny ny varavarana, ka hidionareo; ary manendre mpiambina avy amin’ izay monina ato Jerosalema ihany samy ho eo amin’ ny fiambenany avy, dia samy ho eo amin’ ny tandrifin’ ny tranony avy.
I said to them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot. While the gatekeepers are on guard, you may shut the doors and bar them. Appoint guards from those who live in Jerusalem, some at the place of their guard station, and some in front of their own homes.”
4 Ary malalaka sy lehibe ny tanàna, nefa vitsy olona, sady tsy mbola vita ny trano.
Now the city was wide and large, but there were few people within it, and no houses had yet been rebuilt.
5 Ary nomen’ Andriamanitro hevitra aho hamory ny manan-kaja sy ny mpanapaka mbamin’ ny vahoaka, mba halaina isa araka ny firazanany avy ireo. Ary hitako ny taratasy filazana ny firazanan’ izay niakatra voalohany, ka izao no hitako voasoratra tao:
My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, the officials, and the people to enroll them by their families. I found the book of the genealogy of those who returned at the first and found the following written in it.
6 Izao no lehilahy amin’ izany tany izany, izay niakatra avy tamin’ ny fahababoana, dia ireo nobaboin’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, fa niverina tany Jerosalema sy Joda izy, samy ho any an-tanànany avy,
“These are the people of the province who went up out of the captivity of those exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon took into exile. They returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, each to his city.
7 dia ny olona izay niaraka tamin’ i Zerobabela sy Jesoa sy Nehemia sy Azaria sy Ramia sy Nahanany sy Mordekay sy Bilsana sy Mispereta sy Bigvay sy Nehoma ary Bana: Ary ny isan’ ny lehilahy tamin’ ny Isiraely dia izao:

These sought their records among those enrolled by their genealogy, but they could not be found, so they were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
65 Ary ny governora nilaza fa tsy mahazo mihinana ny zava-masìna indrindra izy mandra-pitsangan’ izay mpisorona anankiray mitondra ny Orima sy Tomima.
Then the governor said to them that they should not be allowed to eat the priests' share of food from the sacrifices until there rose up a priest with Urim and Thummim.

The rest of the people gave twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand minas of silver, and sixty-seven priestly garments.
