Nehemiah 7

1 Once the wall had been rebuilt and I had put up the doors, I appointed the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he langaʻi ʻae ʻā maka, pea kuo ʻosi ʻeku fokotuʻu hake ʻae ngaahi matapā, pea mo e kau leʻo matapā mo e kau hiva mo e kau Livai kuo tuʻutuʻuni,

2 I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, together with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, because he was an honest man who respected God more than many others.

Naʻaku tuku ki hoku tokoua ko Hanani, mo Hanania ko e pule ʻoe fale lahi, ke na pule ki Selūsalema: he ko e tangata angatonu ia, pea manavahē lahi ia ki he ʻOtua ʻi he tokolahi.

3 I told them, “Don't allow the gates of Jerusalem to be opened until the sun is hot, and make sure the guards shut and bolt the doors while they're still on duty. Appoint some of the residents of Jerusalem as guards, to be at their posts, standing in front of their own houses.”

Pea ne u pehē kiate kinaua, “ʻOua naʻa tuku ke ava ʻae ngaahi matapā ki Selūsalema kaeʻoua ke mafana ʻae laʻā: pea ʻi heʻena tuʻu ʻo ofi, tuku kenau tāpuni ʻae ngaahi matapā, pea ʻai ki ai ʻae ʻakau fakamaʻu: pea fakanofo ʻae kau leʻo ʻi he kakai ʻo Selūsalema, taki taha ʻi hono lakanga, pea taki taha hangatonu ki hono fale ʻoʻona.”

4 In those times the city was large with plenty of space, but there weren't many people in it, and the houses hadn't been rebuilt.

Pea naʻe ʻataʻatā ʻae kolo pea lahi: ka naʻe tokosiʻi ʻae kakai naʻe ʻi ai, pea naʻe ʻikai langa ʻae ngaahi fale.

5 My God encouraged me to have everyone—the nobles, the officials, and the people—all come to be registered according to their family genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had returned first. This what I discovered written there.

Pea naʻe tuku ki hoku loto ʻe hoku ʻOtua ke tānaki fakataha ʻae houʻeiki, mo e kau pule, mo e kakai, koeʻuhi ke lau fakahokohoko pē ʻakinautolu. Pea ne u ʻilo ʻae tohi ʻoe hokohoko ʻokinautolu naʻe muʻaki ʻalu hake pea u ʻilo kuo tohi ai;

6 This is a list of the people of the province who returned from the captivity. These were the exiles who had been taken away to Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzar. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, to their home towns.

Ko e ngaahi fānau eni ʻoe fonua, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu hake mei he pōpula, ʻakinautolu naʻe fetuku ʻo ʻave pōpula, ʻaia naʻe fetuku ʻe Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻonau toe haʻu ki Selūsalema mo Siuta, takitaha ki heʻene kolo;

7 They were led by Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah. This is the number of men of the people of Israel:

61 Those who came from the towns of Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Kerub, Addan, and Immer could not prove their family genealogy, or even that they were descendants of Israel.

Pea ko kinautolu eni ʻaia naʻe ʻalu hake foki mei Telimela mo Telihalesa, mo Kilupi, mo ʻAtoni, mo Imeli: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fakahā ʻae fale ʻo ʻenau tamai, pe ko honau hoko, pe naʻe ʻo ʻIsileli ʻakinautolu pe ʻikai.

63 In addition there three priestly families, sons of Hobaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai. (Barzillai had married a woman descended from Barzillai of Gilead, and he was called by that name.)

Pea ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki: ko e fānau ʻa Hopaia, ko e fānau ʻa Kose, ko e fānau ʻa Pasilai, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻave ʻae ʻofefine ʻe taha ʻo Pasilai ko e tangata Kiliati ko hono uaifi, pea naʻe ui ia ki hono hingoa ʻoʻona.

64 They searched for a record of them in the genealogies, but their names weren't found, so they were barred from serving as priests.

Naʻe kumi ʻekinautolu honau hohoko fakataha mo kinautolu naʻe lau ʻi he hokohoko, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia: ko ia naʻe tukuange ai ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ha taʻemaʻa mei he ngāue fakataulaʻeiki.

65 The governor instructed them not to eat anything from the sanctuary sacrifices until a priest could ask the Lord about the issue by using the Urim and Thummim.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he pule kiate kinautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa nau kai ʻi he ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni lahi, ke ʻoua ke tuʻu hake ha taulaʻeiki mo e ʻUlimi mo e Tumemi.

66 The total of number of people returning was 42,360.

Ko hono tokolahi ʻoe kakai kātoa ko e toko fā mano mo e toko ua afe mo e toko tolungeau mā onongofulu.

67 In addition there were 7,337 servants and 245 male and female singers.

Ka naʻe lau kehe ʻenau kau tamaioʻeiki mo honau kau kaunanga, ko e toko fitu afe mo e toko tolungeau, mā tolungofulu mā fitu: pea naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kau tangata hiva mo e kau fefine hiva ko e toko uangeau mo e toko fāngofulu mā nima.

68 They had 736 horses, 245 mules,

Ko ʻenau fanga hoosi, ko e fitungeau mo e tolungofulu mā ono: ko ʻenau fanga miuli, ko e uangeau mo e fāngofulu mā nima:

Ko ʻenau fanga kāmeli, ko e fāngeau mo e tolungofulu mā nima: ko e fanga ʻasi ko e ono afe mo e fitungeau mo e uofulu.

70 Some of the family leaders made voluntary contributions toward the work. The governor presented to the treasury 1,000 gold darics, 50 bowls and 530 sets of clothes for the priests.

Pea naʻe foaki meʻa ki he ngāue ʻe he niʻihi ʻoe kau mātuʻa tuʻukimuʻa. Naʻe foaki ʻe he pule ki he fale koloa ʻae koula ko e talami ʻe taha afe, mo e ipu luoluo ʻe nimangofulu, mo e kofu fakataulaʻeiki ʻe nimangeau ma tolungofulu.

71 Some of the family leaders donated to the treasury for the work 20,000 darics of gold and 2,200 minas of silver.

Pea naʻe foaki ʻe he kau tuʻukimuʻa niʻihi ʻoe kau mātuʻa ki he koloa ʻoe ngāue ko e talami koula ʻe ua mano, mo e paunite siliva ʻe ua afe ma uangeau.

72 The rest of the people donated 20,000 gold darics, 2,000 minas of silver, and 67 sets of clothes for the priests.

Pea ko ia naʻe foaki ʻe he kakai naʻe toe ko e talami koula ʻe ua mano, mo e paunite siliva ʻe ua afe, mo e kofu fakataulaʻeiki ʻe onongofulu ma fitu.

73 The priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, and Temple servants, as well as some of the people and the rest of the Israelites, went back to live in their specific towns. By the seventh month the Israelites were living in their towns,

Ko ia naʻe nofo ʻi honau ngaahi kolo ʻae kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai, mo e kau leʻo matapā, mo e kau hiva, mo e kakai niʻihi, mo e kau Netenimi, mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē: pea ʻi he hokosia hono fitu ʻoe māhina, naʻe nofo ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi honau ngaahi kolo.
