Nehemiah 7
1 After the wall had been finished and we had put the gates in their places, we assigned to the temple guards and to the members of the [sacred] choir and the other descendants of Levi the work that they were to do.
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 appointed two men to [help me to] govern Jerusalem, my brother Hanani and Hananiah who was the commander of the fortress [in Jerusalem]. Hananiah always did his work reliably, and he revered God more than most other people do.
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 said to them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until late each morning. And close the gates and put the bars across the doors [(late in each afternoon/before sunset)] while the gatekeepers are still guarding the gates.” I also told them to appoint some people who lived in Jerusalem to be guards [on the wall], and to assign some of them to be guards at certain other places and to assign others to guard the area close to 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 The city [of Jerusalem] covered a large area, but [at that time] not many people lived in the city, and they had not built many new houses yet [HYP].
Pea naʻe ʻataʻatā ʻae kolo pea lahi: ka naʻe tokosiʻi ʻae kakai naʻe ʻi ai, pea naʻe ʻikai langa ʻae ngaahi fale.
5 [To defend the city, we needed more people there.] Then God gave me the idea to summon the leaders and officials and [other] people, and to look in the books [in which were written the names] of all the people and their clans. So I found the records of the people who had first returned from Babylonia. This is what I found written in those records:
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/Here are the names) of the people who returned to Jerusalem and to other places in Judea. They had been living in Babylonia since King Nebuchadnezzar’s army had captured their relatives/ancestors and took them to Babylonia. But they had returned to Judea and were living in the towns [where their ancestors had lived].
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 Their leaders were Zerubbabel, Joshua, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah, and me. This is a list of the number of men in each clan who returned:

61 Another group of 642 people from the clans of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda also returned. They came from the towns of Tel-Melah, Tel-Harsha, Kerub, Addan ([which is also known as Addon]), and Immer [in Babylonia]. But they could not prove that they were descendants of Israelis.
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 Priests from the clans of Hobaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai also returned. Barzillai had married a woman who is a descendant of [a man named] Barzillai from [the] Gilead [region], and he had taken his wife’s family 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 in the records that contained the names of people’s ancestors, but they could not find the names of those clans, so they were not allowed to have the rights and duties that priests have right away.
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 told them that before they could eat the food offered as sacrifices, a priest should use the marked stones [to find out what God said about their being priests].
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 Altogether, there were 42,360 people who returned to Judea.
Ko hono tokolahi ʻoe kakai kātoa ko e toko fā mano mo e toko ua afe mo e toko tolungeau mā onongofulu.
67 There were also 7,337 of their servants, and 245 singers, which included men and women.
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 The Israelis also brought back [from Babylonia] 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:
69 435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
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 leaders of the clans gave gifts for the work [of rebuilding the temple]. I, being the governor, gave (17 pounds/8.6 kg.) of gold, 50 bowls [to be used in the temple], and 530 robes 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 leaders of the clans gave a total of (337 pounds/153 kg.) of gold, and (3,215 pounds/1,460 kg.) 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 gave a total of (337 pounds/153 kg.) of gold, (2,923 pounds/1,330 kg.) of silver, and 67 robes 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 So the priests, the [other] descendants of Levi [who helped the priests], the temple guards, the musicians, the temple workers, and many ordinary people, who were all Israelis, started to live in the towns and cities of Judea [where their ancestors had lived].
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.
