Nehemiah 11
1 Now the leaders of the people lived in Jerusalem. Yet truly, the remainder of the people cast lots, so that they might choose one part in ten who were to live in Jerusalem, the holy city, and nine parts for the other cities.
Abakulembeze b’abantu ne babeeranga mu Yerusaalemi, abantu abalala ne bakuba akalulu okulonda omuntu omu ku buli bantu kkumi okugenda okubeera mu Yerusaalemi, ekibuga ekitukuvu; omwenda bo ne basigala mu byalo byabwe.
2 Then the people blessed all the men who freely offered themselves to live in Jerusalem.
Abantu ne beebaza abo bonna abeewaayo okubeera mu Yerusaalemi.
3 And so these are the leaders of the province, who were living in Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah. Now each one lived in his possession, in their cities: Israel, the priests, the Levites, the temple servants, and the sons of the servants of Solomon.
Bano be bakungu b’amasaza abaasenga mu Yerusaalemi: Abayisirayiri abamu, nga mwe muli bakabona n’Abaleevi, n’abaweereza ab’omu yeekaalu, ne bazzukulu ba baddu ba Sulemaani; buli omu yabeeranga ku ttaka lye mu kibanja kye.
4 And in Jerusalem, there lived some of the sons of Judah, and some of the sons of Benjamin: of the sons of Judah, Athaiah, the son of Aziam, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalalel, of the sons of Perez;
Mu Yerusaalemi mwabeerangamu abamu ku bazzukulu ba Yuda, n’abamu ku bantu abaava mu Benyamini. Bazzukulu ba Yuda abaasenga eyo be bano: Ataya mutabani wa Uzziya, muzzukulu wa Zekkaliya, muzzukulu wa Amaliya, muzzukulu wa Sefatiya, muzzukulu wa Makalaleri, ow’omu lulyo lwa Pereezi;

6 All these sons of Perez lived in Jerusalem, four hundred sixty-eight strong men.
Bazzukulu ba Pereezi abaasenga mu Yerusaalemi baawerera ddala abasajja ebikumi bina mu nkaaga mu munaana, abaali abalwanyi abazira.
7 Now these are the sons of Benjamin: Sallu, the son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jeshaiah;

8 and after him Gabbai, Sallai. These were nine hundred twenty-eight.

9 And Joel, the son of Zichri, was their foremost leader. And Judah, the son of Hassenuah, was second over the city.
Yoweeri mutabani wa Zikuli ye yali omulabirizi waabwe, ne Yuda mutabani wa Kassenuwa nga ye mukulu w’Ekitundu Ekyokubiri eky’ekibuga.
10 And from the priests, there were Jedaiah, the son of Joiarib, Jachin,
Bakabona baali: Yedaya mutabani wa Yoyalibu, ne Yakini,
11 Seraiah, the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God,

12 and their brothers, who were doing the works of the temple: eight hundred twenty-two. And Adaiah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zachariah, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah,

14 and their brothers, who were very powerful: one hundred twenty-eight. And their foremost leader was Zabdiel, the son of the powerful.
ne baganda be, abaali abalwanyi abazira; abasajja kikumi mu abiri mu munaana. Omukulu waabwe ye yali Zabudyeri mutabani wa Kaggedolimu.
15 And from the Levites, there were Shemaiah, the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni,
Abaleevi baali: Semaaya mutabani wa Kassubu, muzzukulu wa Azulikamu, muzzukulu wa Kasabiya, muzzukulu wa Bunni;
16 and Shabbethai and Jozabad, who were over all the works which were exterior to the house of God, from among the leaders of the Levites.
Sabbesayi ne Yozabadi, abakulu b’Abaleevi, abaavunaanyizibwanga emirimu egy’ebweru egy’ennyumba ya Katonda;
17 And Mattaniah, the son of Mica, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, was the leader of praise and confession in prayer, with Bakbukiah, second among his brothers, and Abda, the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun.

18 All the Levites in the holy city were two hundred eighty-four.
Abaleevi abaabeeranga mu kibuga ekitukuvu bonna awamu, baali ebikumi bibiri mu kinaana mu bana.
19 And the gatekeepers, Akkub, Talmon, and their brothers, who guarded the doorways, were one hundred seventy-two.
Abakuumi b’emiryango baali: Akkubu, ne Talumoni ne baganda baabwe; abaakuumanga emiryango nga bawera abasajja kikumi mu nsanvu mu babiri.
20 And the remainder of Israel, the priests and the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, each one in his own possession.
Abayisirayiri abalala bonna, awamu ne bakabona, n’Abaleevi, baabeeranga mu byalo byonna ebya Yuda, buli muntu ng’ali ku butaka bwe.
21 And the temple servants were living at Ophel, with Ziha and Gishpa, of the temple servants.
Naye abaweereza ba yeekaalu baabeeranga ku lusozi Oferi, era Zika ne Gisupa be baali abakulu baabwe.
22 And the director of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi, the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica. The singing men in the ministry of the house of God were from the sons of Asaph.
Omukulu w’Abaleevi mu Yerusaalemi yali Uzzi mutabani wa Baani, muzzukulu wa Kasabiya, muzzukulu wa Mattaniya, era muzzukulu wa Mikka. Ate era Uzzi yali omu ku bazzukulu ba Asafu, abaakulemberanga okuyimba mu nnyumba ya Katonda.
23 In fact, there was a precept of the king about them, and an order among the singing men, throughout each day.
Abayimbi baakoleranga ku biragiro bya kabaka, nga buli lunaku bwe lwetaaganga.
24 And Pethahiah, the son of Meshezabel, from the sons of Zerah, the son of Judah, was at the hand of the king concerning every word of the people,
Pesakiya mutabani wa Mesezaberi, omu ku bazzukulu ba Zeera mutabani wa Yuda, ye yali omusigire wa Kabaka, ku nsonga zonna ez’abantu.
25 and in the houses throughout all their regions. Some of the sons of Judah lived at Kiriatharba and in its daughter villages, and at Dibon and in its daughter villages, and at Jekabzeel and in its vicinity,
Abantu abamu aba Yuda baabeeranga mu Kirasualuba n’ebyalo ebikyetoolodde, n’abalala mu Diboni n’ebyalo ebikyetoolodde, n’abalala mu Yekabuzeeri n’ebyalo ebikyetoolodde,

31 But the sons of Benjamin lived from Geba, at Michmash, and Aija, and Bethel and in its daughter villages,
Bazzukulu ba Benyamini abaava e Geba baabeeranga mu Mikumasi, ne mu Ayiya, ne mu Beseri n’ebyalo ebikyetoolodde,

35 and Ono, the valley of craftsmen.
ne mu Loodi ne mu Ono, ne mu kiwonvu kya babumbi.
36 And some of the Levites were apportioned with Judah and Benjamin.
Abamu ku b’omu bibinja by’Abaleevi aba Yuda, ne beegatta ku b’omu Benyamini.
