Nehemia 7
1 Wɔwiee ɔfasuo no, na mesisii apono no wieeɛ no akyi, wɔyiyii apono no anohwɛfoɔ, nnwomtofoɔ ne Lewifoɔ.
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 Meyii me nuabarima Hanani sɛ ɔne Hanania nni Yerusalem so. Na Hanania yɛ ɔsahene a ɔhwɛ aban no so, na ɔyɛ ɔnokwafoɔ a ɔsuro Onyame sene afoforɔ bebree.
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 Meka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Adekyeeɛ mu, sɛ ahuhuro ba a, mommma apono no ano nna hɔ. Na sɛ aponoanohwɛfoɔ wɔ adwuma mu koraa a, montoto mu, na mommram no. Monyi wɔn a wɔtete Yerusalem no bi, na wɔnnwɛn a obiara ba ne ɛberɛ a wɔahyɛ ama no no pɛpɛɛpɛ. Ebi bɛwɛn wɔ awɛneeɛ hɔ, na ebi nso awɛn wɔ wɔn ankasa afie anim.”
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 Saa ɛberɛ no na kuropɔn no so, na emu da hɔ, nanso na nnipa no nnɔɔso. Afie kakra bi na na ɛsisi kuropɔn no mu.
Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few in it, and the houses were not built.
5 Na me Onyankopɔn maa me adwene sɛ memfrɛ kuropɔn no mu ntuanofoɔ ne ɔmanfoɔ no nyinaa nhyia, na wɔntwerɛ wɔn din. Na mahunu nnipa a wɔdii ɛkan sane baa Yuda no abusuadua nwoma. Nsɛm a na wɔatwerɛ agu mu nie:
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 Yeinom ne Yudafoɔ a wɔtwaa wɔn asuo kɔɔ amantam bi so, na wɔfirii nnommumfa mu sane baa Yerusalem ne Yuda nkuro afoforɔ so. Ɔhene Nebukadnessar na ɔtwaa wɔn asuo kɔɔ Babilonia.
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;
