Nahimiyaa 11

1 Yeroo sanatti hooggantoonni sabaa Yerusaalem keessa qubatan; warri kaan immoo akka inni Yerusaalem magaalaa qulqulluu sana keessa jiraatuuf nama kudhan keessaa tokko fidachuuf ixaa buufatan; warri hafan sagallan immoo magaalaadhuma ofii isaanii keessatti hafan.

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 Sabnis namoota Yerusaalem keessa jiraachuuf fedhiin of kennan hunda eebbise.

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

3 Warri kunneen hooggantoota kutaa biyyaa kanneen Yerusaalem keessa qubatanii dha; magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessa garuu tokkoon tokkoon isaanii qabeenya ofii isaaniitiin magaalaawwan ofii isaanii keessa jiraatan; isaanis: Israaʼeloota, luboota, Lewwota, tajaajiltoota mana qulqullummaa fi sanyiiwwan tajaajiltoota Solomoon;

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.
