Nahimiyaa 7
1 Erga dallaan sun ijaaramee anis cufaawwan iddootti deebisee booddee karra eegdonni, faarfattoonnii fi Lewwonni ni ramadaman.
When the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites were appointed.
2 Anis Yerusaalem irratti Anaanii obboleessa koo fi Hanaaniyaa ajajaa masaraa mootummaa sana nan muude; Hanaaniyaan kun nama hunda caalaa amanamaa fi kan Waaqa sodaatu tureetii.
Then I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, along with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, because he was a faithful man who feared God more than most.
3 Ani akkanan isaaniinan jedhe; “Karrawwan Yerusaalem hamma aduun hoʼitutti banamuu hin qaban. Yeroo karra eegdonni hojii irra jiranittis cufaawwan cufamanii danqaraan keessa haa loofamu. Akkasumas jiraattota Yerusaalem keessaa eegdota tokko tokko iddoo isaaniitti, kaan immoo mana isaanii biratti ramadaa.”
And I told them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot. While the guards are on duty, keep the doors shut and securely fastened. And appoint the residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some at their own homes.”
4 Magaalattiin guddoo fi balʼoo turte; garuu saba muraasatu ishee keessa jiraata ture. Manneenis amma iyyuu deebifamanii hin ijaaramne.
Now the city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it, and the houses had not yet been rebuilt.
5 Waaqni koos akka isaan maatii maatiidhaan galmeeffamaniif akka ani namoota bebeekamoo, qondaaltotaa fi uummata walitti qabuuf garaa koo keessa kaaʼe. Anis galmee hidda dhalootaa kan warra jalqabatti deebiʼanii nan argadhe. Wanni barreeffamee ani achitti argadhe kanaa dha:
Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials, and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had first returned, and I found the following written in it:
6 Isaan kunneen namoota kutaa biyya sanaa warra boojuu Nebukadnezar mootichi Baabilon sun boojiʼee isaan geessee ture sanaa deebiʼanii dha; isaanis Yerusaalemii fi Yihuudaatti deebiʼanii tokkoon tokkoon isaanii magaalaa ofii isaaniitti galan;
These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles carried away to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar its king. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town,

These men searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
65 Bulchaan biyyattiis hamma lubni Uriimii fi Tumiimiidhaan tajaajilu tokko kaʼutti akka isaan nyaata nyaata hunda caalaa qulqulluu taʼe kam iyyuu hin nyaanneef isaan ajaje.
The governor ordered them not to eat the most holy things until there was a priest to consult the Urim and Thummim.
66 Warri boojuudhaa deebiʼan walumaa galatti namoota 42,360 turan;
The whole assembly numbered 42,360,

So the priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, and temple servants, along with some of the people and the rest of the Israelites, settled in their own towns. And by the seventh month the Israelites had settled in their towns.
