Nehemiah 7 (ULB)

1Rehefa vita ny manda ary voapetrako tamin'ny toerany ireo varavarana, ary efa voatondro ireo mpiandry vavahady sy mpihira ary ireo Levita,When the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites were appointed.

2dia nomeko an'i Hanany rahalahiko ny fitantanana an'i Jerosalema, miaraka amin'i Hanania izay nanara-maso ny fiarovana mafy, satria lehilahy mahatoky sy matahotra an'Andriamanitra mihoatra noho ny maro izy.Then I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, along with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, because he was a faithful man who feared God more than most.

3Hoy aho tamin'izy ireo hoe: "Aza sokafana ny vavahadin'i Jerosalema mandra-piakatry ny masoandro. Raha mbola miambina ireo mpiandry vavahady, dia afaka manidy ny varavarana sy manisy bara ianareo. Manendre mpiambina avy amin'ireo izay mipetraka any Jerosalema, ny sasany any amin'ny toeram-piambenan'izy ireo, ary ny sasany manoloana ireo tranony avy."And I told them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot. While the guards are on duty, keep the doors shut and securely fastened. And appoint the residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some at their own homes.”

4Ary ilay tanàna dia midadasika sy lehibe, kanefa vitsy ny olona ao amin'izany, ary tsy mbola nisy trano voatsangana.Now the city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it, and the houses had not yet been rebuilt.

5Andriamanitra dia nametraka tao am-poko ny hamoriana ireo manan-kaja, ireo manam-boninahitra, sy ireo vahoaka mba ho soratana anarana araka ny fianakavian'izy ireo. Hitako ilay bokin'ny tetiaran'ireo izay niverina voalohany ary hitako voasoratra tao ireto manaraka ireto.Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials, and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had first returned, and I found the following written in it:

6Ireto ny vahoakan'ny faritany izay nandeha niakatra avy tamin'ny fahababoan'ireo sesitany izay nobaboin'i Nebokadnezara mpanjakan'i Babylona. Niverina tany Jerosalema sy Joda izy ireo, samy amin'ny tanànany avy.These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles carried away to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar its king. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town,

Kanefa tsy afaka nanaporofo izy ireo fa izy ireo na ireo fianakavian'ny taranak'izy ireo dia taranaka avy amin'Israely:The following came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer, but they could not prove that their families were descended from Israel:

62dia ireo taranak'i Delaia, ny taranak'i Tobia, ary ny taranak'i Nekoda, izay 642.the descendants of Delaiah, the descendants of Tobiah, and the descendants of Nekoda, 642 in all.

64Ireo dia nitady ny firaketan'izy ireo an-tsoratra tamin'ireo nisoratra anarana tamin'ny tetiaran'izy ireo, saingy tsy hita ireo, ka dia voahilika tamin'ny fisoronana ho maloto izy ireo.These men searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.

65Avy eo ny governora niteny tamin'izy ireo fa tsy tokony homena alalana hihinana ny fizaran-tsakafon'ireo mpisorona avy amin'ny sorona izy ireo mandra-pitsanganan'ny mpisorona iray miaraka amin'ny Orima sy Tomima.The governor ordered them not to eat the most holy things until there was a priest to consult the Urim and Thummim.

6642. 360 ny fitambaran'ny vondrona rehetra,The whole assembly numbered 42,360,

67ankoatra ny lehilahy sy mpanompon'izy ireo ary ny mpanompo vavin'izy ireo, izay nisy 7. 337. Nanana mpihira lahy sy vavy 245 izy ireo.in addition to their 7,337 menservants and maidservants, as well as their 245 male and female singers.

70Ny sasany tamin'ireo lohan'ny fianakavian'ireo razambe dia nanome fanomezana ho an'ny asa. Nomen'ny governora darika volamena arivo, koveta 50, ary akanjo fisoronana 530 ho an'ny rakitra.Some of the heads of the families contributed to the project. The governor gave to the treasury 1,000 darics of gold, 50 bowls, and 530 priestly garments.

71Ny sasany amin'ny lohan'ireo fianakavian'ireo razambe dia nanome darika volamena roa alina sy mane volafotsy 2. 200 ho an'ny rakitra.And some of the heads of the families gave to the treasury for the project 20,000 darics of gold and 2,200 minas of silver.

73Noho izany ireo mpisorona, ireo Levita, ireo mpiandry vavahady, ireo mpihira, ny sasany amin'ny vahoaka, ireo mpanompon'ny tempoly, ary ny Israely rehetra dia nipetraka tany amin'ny tanànan'izy ireo. Tamin'ny volana fahafito no nametrahana ny vahoakan'Israely tao amin'ny tanànan'izy ireo."So the priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, and temple servants, along with some of the people and the rest of the Israelites, settled in their own towns. And by the seventh month the Israelites had settled in their towns.
