1 Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
Ikawa, hapo ukuta ulipojengwa, na milango nimekwisha kuisimamisha, na mabawabu, na waimbaji, na Walawi, wamewekwa,
2 that I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.
ndipo nilimwagiza ndugu yangu, Hanani, pamoja na yule Hanania, jemadari wa ngome, kuwa na amri juu ya Yerusalemu; kwa maana alikuwa mtu mwaminifu huyo, na mwenye kumcha Mungu kuliko wengi.
3 And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be over against his house.
Nikawaambia, Yasifunguliwe malango ya Yerusalemu kabla halijachomoza jua; nao walinzi wangali wakisimama bado, waifunge milango, mkaikaze; kisha wekeni walinzi wa zamu wa hao wakaao Yerusalemu, kila mtu na zamu yake, na kila mtu kuielekea nyumba yake.
4 Now the city was large and great: but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.
Basi mji ulikuwa wa nafasi nyingi, tena mkubwa; lakini watu waliomo walikuwa haba, wala nyumba hazijajengwa.
Register of the Exiles
5 And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found written therein,
Mungu wangu akanitia moyoni mwangu, kwamba niwakusanye wakuu na mashehe, na watu, ili wahesabiwe kwa nasaba. Nikakiona kitabu cha vizazi vya hao waliokwea hapo kwanza, nikaona ya kwamba imeandikwa humo;
6 These are the children of the province, that went up out of the captivity, of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his city;
Hawa ndio wana wa wilaya, waliokwea kutoka katika ule uhamisho wa hao waliokuwa wamechukuliwa, ambao Nebukadreza, mfalme wa Babeli, aliwachukua mateka, nao wakarudi Yerusalemu na Yuda, kila mtu mjini kwake.

Hao waliitafuta orodha yao miongoni mwa wale waliohesabiwa kwa nasaba, wasionekane; kwa hiyo walihesabiwa kuwa na unajisi.
65 And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and Thummim.
Na huyo Tirshatha akawaambia kwamba wasile katika vile vitu vitakatifu sana, hata atakaposimama kuhani mwenye Urimu na Thumimu.
