Nehemia 7
1 Wowiee ɔfasu no, na misisii apon no wiee akyi no, yɛfaa apon no anohwɛfo, nnwontofo ne Lewifo.
Now when the wall was built and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
2 Miyii me nuabarima Hanani sɛ ɔne Hanania nni Yerusalem so. Na Hanania yɛ ɔsahene a ɔhwɛ aban no so, na ɔyɛ ɔnokwafo a osuro Nyame sen afoforo bebree.
I put my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the fortress, in charge of Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man and feared God above many.
3 Meka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Ɛnsɛ sɛ wobue Yerusalem apon no ano to hɔ kosi sɛ ahuhuru bɛba. Na sɛ aponanohwɛfo no wɔ adwuma mu koraa a, montoto mu na mommram akyi. Munyi wɔn a wɔte Yerusalem no, na bi nnyina hɔ nnwɛn na bi nso mfi wɔn afi a ɛbemmɛn no mu nwɛn.”
I said to them, “Don’t 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 Saa bere no na kuropɔn no so, na emu da hɔ, nanso na nnipa no nnɔɔso. Afi kakraa bi na na esisi kuropɔn no mu.
Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not built.
5 Na me Nyankopɔn maa me adwene sɛ memfrɛ kuropɔn no mu ntuanofo ne ɔmanfo no nyinaa nhyia, na wɔnkyerɛw wɔn din. Mihuu nnipa a wodii kan san baa Yuda no anato nhoma. Nsɛm a na wɔakyerɛw agu mu ni:
My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be listed by genealogy. I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found this written in it:
6 Eyinom ne Yudafo a wotwaa wɔn asu kɔɔ amantam bi so, na wofii nnommum mu san baa Yerusalem ne Yuda nkurow afoforo so. Ɔhene Nebukadnessar na otwaa wɔn asu kɔɔ Babilonia.
These are the children 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,
