< Neyemi 7 >

1 Tango misala ya kotonga mir esilaki mpe natiaki bizipelo ya bikuke, batiaki bakengeli bikuke, bayembi mpe Balevi: bato na bato na mosala na bango.
And it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, —and the doorkeepers and the singers and the Levites had been appointed,
2 Napesaki mokumba ya kokamba engumba Yelusalemi epai ya Anani, ndeko na ngai ya mobali, mpe epai ya Anania, moyangeli ya engumba batonga makasi, oyo, koleka bato ebele, azalaki moto ya sembo mpe azalaki kotosa Nzambe.
that I gave Hanani my brother, and Hananiah captain of the castle, charge over Jerusalem, for, he, was a truly faithful man, and revered God above many.
3 Nalobaki na bango: — Bikuke ya Yelusalemi esengeli te kofungwama liboso ete moyi engala, mpe, na pokwa, bakokanga makasi bizipelo na yango mpe bakokotisa yango bikangelo, wana bakengeli bikuke bakozala nanu na bisika na bango ya mosala. Botia lisusu lokola bakengeli, bavandi ya Yelusalemi: bamoko bakozala na bisika na bango ya mosala, mpe bamosusu bakokengela pembeni ya bandako na bango.
And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until, hot, be the sun, and, while they are standing by, let them close the doors, and make them fast, —setting watches, of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one over against his own house.
4 Nzokande, etando ya engumba Yelusalemi ezalaki monene mpe ekenda mosika makasi, kasi bato kati na yango bazalaki moke mpe bandako etongamaki nanu te.
Now, the city, was broad on both hands, and large, but, the people, were few in the midst thereof, —and the houses had not been built.
5 Nzambe na ngai apesaki ngai makanisi ya kosangisa bankumu, bakambi mpe bato mosusu mpo na kotanga motango na bango kolanda mabota na bango. Bongo, namonaki buku ya bokoko ya ba-oyo bazongaki bato ya liboso longwa na bowumbu. Tala makomi oyo namonaki kuna:
So then my God put it into my heart, and I gathered together the nobles and the deputies and the people, to register their genealogy, —then found I a register roll, of them who came up at the first, and found written therein: —
6 Tala bato ya etuka ya Yuda, oyo Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, amemaki na bowumbu; mpe wuta na bowumbu, bazongaki na Yelusalemi mpe na Yuda, moto na moto na engumba na ye;
These, are the sons of the province, who came up from among the Captives of the Exile, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did exile, —but they came back to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one to his own city;
