Inhabitants of Jerusalem

1 And the rulers of the people dwelt at Jerusalem: the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts to dwell in other cities.
Basi, wakuu wa watu walikuwa wakikaa Yerusalemu; nao watu waliosalia wakapiga kura, ili katika watu kumi kumleta mmoja akae ndani ya Yerusalemu mji mtakatifu, na wale kenda wakae mijini.

2 And the people blessed all the men, that willingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem.
Na hao watu wakawabariki wote waliojitoa kwa hiari wakae Yerusalemu.
