1 The princes of the people lived in Jerusalem. The rest of the people also cast lots to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem, the holy city, and nine parts in the other cities.
Ngakho ababusi babantu bahlala eJerusalema; abantu abaseleyo basebesenza inkatho yokuphosa ukuze balethe oyedwa kwabalitshumi ukuhlala eJerusalema umuzi ongcwele, lengxenye eziyisificamunwemunye kweminye imizi.
2 The people blessed all the men who willingly offered themselves to dwell in Jerusalem.
Abantu basebebusisa wonke amadoda azinikela ngesihle ukuyahlala eJerusalema.
