Nehemiya 7:1-73
7 Mpanda utangotha kumangidwanso,+ ndinaika zitseko zake.+ Kenako ndinaika pa udindo alonda amʼmageti,+ oimba+ ndi Alevi.+
2 Kenako ndinaika Haneni mʼbale wanga+ ndi Hananiya, mkulu wa mʼNyumba ya Chitetezo Champhamvu,+ kuti aziyangʼanira Yerusalemu. Hananiya anali munthu wodalirika ndiponso woopa Mulungu woona+ kuposa anthu ena ambiri.
3 Choncho ndinawauza kuti: “Mageti a Yerusalemu sayenera kutsegulidwa mpaka dzuwa litakwera. Alonda amʼmageti aime pafupi ndipo atseke zitseko nʼkuzikhoma ndi anamphatika. Muikenso alonda a anthu a ku Yerusalemu, ena muwaike pamalo awo olondera ndipo ena muwaike kutsogolo kwa nyumba zawo.”
4 Mzindawo unali wotakasuka ndiponso waukulu. Munali anthu ochepa+ ndipo nyumba zinali zisanamangidwenso.
5 Koma Mulungu wanga anaika nzeru mumtima mwanga kuti ndisonkhanitse anthu olemekezeka, atsogoleri ndi anthu onse kuti alembetse mayina motsatira mndandanda wa makolo awo.+ Ndiyeno ndinapeza buku la mndandanda wa mayina wa anthu amene anabwera moyambirira kuchokera ku ukapolo. Ndinapeza kuti mʼbukumo analembamo izi:
6 Awa ndi anthu amʼchigawo amene anachoka ku ukapolo, anthu omwe Nebukadinezara+ mfumu ya ku Babulo anawatenga nʼkupita nawo ku ukapolo.+ Anthuwa anabwerera ku Yerusalemu ndi ku Yuda, aliyense mumzinda wakwawo.+
7 Amenewa anabwera pamodzi ndi Zerubabele,+ Yesuwa,+ Nehemiya, Azariya, Raamiya, Nahamani, Moredikayi, Bilisani, Misiperete, Bigivai, Nehumu ndi Bana.
