Nahimiyaa 7
1 Erga dallaan sun ijaaramee anis cufaawwan iddootti deebisee booddee karra eegdonni, faarfattoonnii fi Lewwonni ni ramadaman.
Once the wall had been rebuilt and I had put up the doors, I appointed the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites.
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.
I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, together with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, because he was an honest man who respected God more than many others.
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.”
I told them, “Don't allow the gates of Jerusalem to be opened until the sun is hot, and make sure the guards shut and bolt the doors while they're still on duty. Appoint some of the residents of Jerusalem as guards, to be at their posts, standing in front of their own houses.”
4 Magaalattiin guddoo fi balʼoo turte; garuu saba muraasatu ishee keessa jiraata ture. Manneenis amma iyyuu deebifamanii hin ijaaramne.
In those times the city was large with plenty of space, but there weren't many people in it, and the houses hadn't 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:
My God encouraged me to have everyone—the nobles, the officials, and the people—all come to be registered according to their family genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had returned first. This what I discovered written there.
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;
This is a list of the people of the province who returned from the captivity. These were the exiles who had been taken away to Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzar. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, to their home towns.
