Nehemia 7
1 Baada ya ukuta kukamilika kujengwa upya na nikaweka milango, mabawabu wa lango, waimbaji, na Walawi waliteuliwa.
Nowe when the wall was builded, and I had set vp the doores, and the porters, and the singers and the Leuites 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.
Then I commanded my brother Hanani and Hananiah the prince of the palace in Ierusalem (for he was doubtlesse a faithfull man, and feared God aboue 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 saide vnto them, Let not the gates of Ierusalem be opened, vntill the heate of the sunne: and while they stande by, let them shut the doores, and make them fast: and I appointed wardes of the inhabitants of Ierusalem, euery one in his warde, and euery one ouer against his house.
4 Mji ulikuwa mkubwa, tena wenye nafasi nyingi, lakini walikuwepo watu wachache ndani yake, nazo nyumba zilikuwa bado ni magofu.
Nowe the citie was large and great, but the people were few therein, and the houses were not buylded.
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 mine heart, and I gathered the princes, and the rulers, and the people, to count their genealogies: and I found a booke of the genealogie of them, which came vp at the first, and 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 sonnes of the prouince that came vp from the captiuitie that was caried away (whome Nebuchadnezzar King of Babel had caryed away) and they returned to Ierusalem and to Iudah, euery one vnto his citie.
