Nehemia 7
1 Baada ya ukuta kukamilika kujengwa upya na nikaweka milango, mabawabu wa lango, waimbaji, na Walawi waliteuliwa.
Now after the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and numbered the porters and singing men, and Levites:
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.
I commanded Hanani my brother, and Hananias ruler of the house of Jerusalem, (for he seemed as a sincere man, and one that feared God above the rest, )
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 till the sun be hot. And while they were yet standing by, the gates were shut, and barred: and I set watchmen of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one by their courses, and every mall over against his house.
4 Mji ulikuwa mkubwa, tena wenye nafasi nyingi, lakini walikuwepo watu wachache ndani yake, nazo nyumba zilikuwa bado ni magofu.
And the city was very wide and great, and the people few in the midst thereof, 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:
But God had put in my heart, and I assembled the princes and magistrates, and common people, to number them: and I found a book of the number of them who came up at first, and therein it was found written:
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 children of the province, who came up from the captivity of them that had been carried away, whom Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned into Judea, every one into his own city.
