Nehemia 7
1 Baada ya ukuta kukamilika kujengwa upya na nikaweka milango, mabawabu wa lango, waimbaji, na Walawi waliteuliwa.
Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
2 Nikamweka Hanani ndugu yangu kuwa kiongozi wa Yerusalemu, pamoja na Hanania jemadari wa ngome, kwa kuwa alikuwa mtu mwadilifu na mwenye kumcha Mungu kuliko watu wengine.
that I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the castle, charge over Jerusalem, for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.
3 Nikawaambia, “Malango ya Yerusalemu yasifunguliwe mpaka jua litakapokuwa limepanda. Walinzi wa malango wakiwa bado kwenye zamu, waamuru wafunge milango na waweke makomeo. Pia wateueni wenyeji wa Yerusalemu wawe walinzi, kila mmoja kwenye lindo lake, na wengine karibu na nyumba zao wenyewe.”
And I said to them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot, and while they stand on guard, let them shut the doors, and bar ye them. And appoint watchmen of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, everyone in his watch, and everyone to be opposite his house.
4 Mji ulikuwa mkubwa, tena wenye nafasi nyingi, lakini walikuwepo watu wachache ndani yake, nazo nyumba zilikuwa bado ni magofu.
Now the city was wide and large, but the people in it were few, and the houses were not built.
5 Hivyo Mungu wangu akaweka moyoni mwangu kuwakusanya wakuu, maafisa na watu wa kawaida kwa ajili ya kuorodheshwa kulingana na jamaa zao. Nilikuta orodha ya vizazi ya wale waliokuwa wa kwanza kurudi toka utumwani. Haya ndiyo niliyokuta yameandikwa humo:
And my God put into my heart to gather together the ranking men, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first. And I found written therein:
6 Hawa ndio watu wa jimbo waliotoka uhamishoni, ambao Nebukadneza mfalme wa Babeli alikuwa amewachukua mateka (walirudi Yerusalemu na Yuda, kila mmoja kwenye mji wake,
These are the sons 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,

These sought their registration among those who were reckoned by genealogy, but it was not found. Therefore they were deemed polluted and put from the priesthood.

And the governor said to them that they should not eat of the most holy things till there stood up a priest with Urim and Thummim.
