Nehemia 7

1 Wakati ukuta ulipomalizika na milango nimekwisha kuisimamisha, na walinzi wa malango na waimbaji na Walawi walikuwa wamechaguliwa,

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 nikampa ndugu yangu Hanani kuwa na amri juu ya Yerusalemu, pamoja na Hanania ambaye alikuwa msimamizi wa kijiji, kwa kuwa alikuwa mwaminifu na alimuogopa Mungu zaidi kuliko wengi.

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 Nami nikawaambia, Msifungue malango ya Yerusalemu mpaka jua litakapokuwa kali. Wakati walinzi wa mlango wanalinda, unaweza kufunga milango na kuikaza. Chagua walinzi kutoka kwa wale wanaoishi Yerusalemu, wengine mahali pa kituo chao cha ulinzi, na wengine mbele ya 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 Sasa jiji lilikuwa pana na kubwa, lakini kulikuwa na watu wachache ndani yake, na hakuna nyumba zilizojengwa tena.

Nowe the citie was large and great, but the people were few therein, and the houses were not buylded.

5 Mungu wangu aliweka moyoni mwangu, kuwakusanya pamoja wakuu, maafisa, na watu kuwaandikisha katika familia zao. Nilipata Kitabu cha kizazi cha wale ambao walirudi kwanza na nikaona kwamba imeandikwa 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 ambao walikwenda kutoka kwenye uhamisho wa wale waliohamishwa ambao Nebukadreza mfalme wa Babeli aliwachukua mateka. Wakarudi Yerusalemu na Yuda, kila mmoja kwenda 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.
