Nehemia 7

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

Now it happened, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites 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.

that I put my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the commander of the fortress, in charge of Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man, and feared God above 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.

I said to them, "Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they stand guard, let them shut the doors, and you bar them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, everyone in his watch, with everyone near his house."

4 Sasa jiji lilikuwa pana na kubwa, lakini kulikuwa na watu wachache ndani yake, na hakuna nyumba zilizojengwa tena.

Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few in it, and the houses were not 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.

My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found written in it:

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 people 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;

7 Walikuja na Zerubabeli, Yoshua, Nehemia, Seraya, Reelaya, Nahamani, Mordekai, Bilshani, Mispari, Bigwai, Rehumu na Baana. Idadi ya wana wa Israeli ilikuwa.

These were those who went up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Cherub, Addan, and Immer; but they could not prove their ancestral houses, nor their descent, whether they were of Israel:

These searched for their genealogical records, but couldn't find them. Therefore were they deemed polluted and put from the priesthood.

65 Naye mkuu wa gavana akawaambia wasiruhusiwe kula chakula cha makuhani kutoka kwenye dhabihu mpaka atakapoinuka kuhani mwenye Urimu na Thumimu.

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

66 Kusanyiko lote lilikuwa 42, 360,

The whole assembly together was forty-two thousand three hundred sixty,

67 isipokuwa watumishi wao wa kiume na watumishi wao wa kike, ambao walikuwa 7, 337. Walikuwa na wanaume na wanawake wa kuimba 245.

70 Baadhi ya wakuu wa familia za baba zao walitoa zawadi kwa ajili ya kazi. Gavana alitoa sadaka ya darkoni elfu ya dhahabu, mabakuli 50, na mavazi 530 ya makuhani.

Some from among the heads of ancestral houses gave to the work. The governor gave to the treasury one thousand darics of gold, fifty basins, and five hundred thirty priests' garments.

So the priests, and the Levites, and the gatekeepers, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinim, and all Israel, lived in their cities. When the seventh month had come, the children of Israel were in their cities.
