Nehemia 7
1 Ary nony vita ny manda, ka voalatsako ny lela-vavahady, sady voatendry ny mpiandry varavarana sy ny mpihira ary ny Levita,
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 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 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 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, “Don’t 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 Ary malalaka sy lehibe ny tanàna, nefa vitsy olona, sady tsy mbola vita ny trano.
Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not built.
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, 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 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 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,
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:
