1 W hen the wall was built and I had set up the doors, and the gate-keepers and singers and Levites were chosen,

Nawai a kua oti te taiepa te hanga, kua whakaturia nga tatau, kua whakaritea ano nga kaitiaki kuwaha, nga kaiwaiata, me nga Riwaiti.

2 I gave my brother Hanani, and Hanaiah the captain of the strong place, the work of watching over Jerusalem. For he was a faithful man and honored God with fear more than many.

Na ka tukua e ahau nga tikanga mo Hiruharama ki toku teina, ki a Hanani raua ko Hanania rangatira o te whare rangatira: he tangata pono hoki ia, a nui atu i to te tokomaha tona wehi ki te Atua.

3 I said to them, “Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot. And while the soldiers are on duty watching the gates, let them shut and lock the doors. Choose soldiers from the people of Jerusalem, each one for the place he is to keep watch, and each in front of his own house.” The Jews Return to Jerusalem

I ki atu ahau ki a raua, Kaua e whakatuwheratia nga kuwaha o Hiruharama, kia mahana ra ano te ra; i a raua e tu ana, e tiaki ana, me tutaki e raua nga tatau, ka whakau hoki. Me whakatu ano he kaitiaki i roto i nga tangata o Hiruharama, ki tana wa hi e tiaki ai, ki te ritenga o tona whare, o tona whare.

4 N ow the city was wide and large, but the people in it were few and the houses were not built.

Na he wharahi, he nui te pa, he torutoru ia nga tangata o roto; kahore hoki nga whare kia hanga.

5 T hen my God put it into my heart to gather together the rulers, the leaders and the people to have their names written down by families. And I found the book of the family names of those who came up first. This is what I found written in it:

Na ka homai e toku Atua ki roto ki toku ngakau kia huihuia nga rangatira, me nga tangata rarahi, me te iwi, kia whakapapa ai ratou. I kitea hoki e ahau te pukapuka whakapapa o te hunga i haere mai i te timatanga; i kitea ano kua tuhituhia ki roto,

6 T hese are the people who left the land of Babylon and returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own city. Their families had been taken away to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon.

Ko nga tama enei o te kawanatanga i haere mai i te whakarau, no te hunga i whakahekea, no era i whakahekea atu e Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona, a hoki ana ki Hiruharama, ki Hura; ki tona pa, ki tona pa;
