Nahimiyaa 7
1 Erga dallaan sun ijaaramee anis cufaawwan iddootti deebisee booddee karra eegdonni, faarfattoonnii fi Lewwonni ni ramadaman.
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 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, and Hananiah the governor of the fortress, in charge of Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man and feared God above many.
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 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 Magaalattiin guddoo fi balʼoo turte; garuu saba muraasatu ishee keessa jiraata ture. Manneenis amma iyyuu deebifamanii hin ijaaramne.
Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not built.
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 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 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 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,
