Nehemiah 7
1 And it came to pass when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, that the doorkeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed.
Khoma linamangidwa ndipo zitseko zinayikidwa. Pambuyo pake alonda a Nyumba ya Mulungu, oyimba nyimbo ndiponso Alevi anasankhidwa.
2 And I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the citadel, charge over Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man and feared God above many.
Kenaka ine ndinasankha mʼbale wanga Hanani pamodzi ndi Hananiya woyangʼanira nsanja yankhondo kukhala olamulira Yerusalemu chifukwa iyeyu anali munthu odalirika ndi woopa Mulungu kuposa anthu ena.
3 And I said to them that the gates of Jerusalem should not be opened until the sun was hot, and that they should shut the doors and bar them while they stood by; and that there should be appointed watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one over against his house.
Ine ndinawawuza kuti, “Musalole kuti zipata za Yerusalemu zitsekulidwe mpaka dzuwa litatentha, ndipo alonda asanaweruke aonetsetse kuti atseka zitseko ndi kuzipiringidza. Musankhe alonda pakati pa anthu okhala mu Yerusalemu, ena akhale pa malo pawo ndi ena akhale moyangʼanana ndi nyumba zawo.”
4 Now the city was large and great; but the people in it were few, and no houses were built.
Tsono mzinda wa Yerusalemu unali wotambasuka ndiponso waukulu koma munali anthu ochepa ndipo nyumba zinali zisanamangidwe.
5 And my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, for registration by genealogy. And I found a genealogical register of those that had come up at the first, and I found written in it:
Ndipo Mulungu wanga anayika mu mtima mwanga maganizo oti ndisonkhanitse anthu olemekezeka, akuluakulu ndi anthu onse kuti alembetse mayina mwa mabanja awo. Ndinapeza buku limene munalembedwa mayina a mabanja a iwo amene anayamba kubwera kuchokera ku ukapolo. Izi ndi zimene ndinazipeza zitalembedwa mʼmenemo:
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 who came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one to his city;
Awa ndi anthu a mʼchigawo cha Yuda amene anabwerera kuchokera ku ukapolo amene Nebukadinezara mfumu ya Babuloni anawatenga ukapolo. Iwo anabwerera ku Yerusalemu ndi ku Yuda, aliyense ku mzinda wa makolo ake.

64 These sought their genealogical register, but it was not found; therefore were they, as polluted, removed from the priesthood.
Iwowa anafufuzafufuza mayina awo mʼbuku la mibado ya mabanja awo ndipo sanapeze mayina awo kotero anachotsedwa pa unsembe nawerengedwa ngati odetsedwa pa chipembedzo.
