Nehemia 7
1 Wakati ukuta ulipomalizika na milango nimekwisha kuisimamisha, na walinzi wa malango na waimbaji na Walawi walikuwa wamechaguliwa,
And it came to pass, when the wall was built, that I set up the doors; and then were appointed the gatekeepers and the singers and the [other] Levites [to their office].
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.
And I gave my brother Chanani, and Chananyah the commander of the fortress, charge over Jerusalem; for he was esteemed a faithful man, and one that feared God these many days.
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 said unto them, The gates of Jerusalem must not be opened until the sun be hot; and while ye stand by, let them shut the doors, and do ye bar them; and station watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one opposite to his house.
4 Sasa jiji lilikuwa pana na kubwa, lakini kulikuwa na watu wachache ndani yake, na hakuna nyumba zilizojengwa tena.
But the city was roomy in space and large: while the people therein were few, and the houses were not yet built.
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.
Then did my God put it into my heart, and I assembled together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might give in their genealogy; and I found a register of the genealogy of those who were come up at the first, and I 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 arc the children of the province, that came up out of the captivity of the exiles, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried into exile, and who returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his own city;

And the Thirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there should stand up a priest with the Urim and Thummim.
66 Kusanyiko lote lilikuwa 42, 360,
The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and sixty:
