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

Haddaba markii derbigii la dhisay, oo aan taagay albaabbadii, oo irid-dhawryadii iyo kuwii gabayaaga ahaa iyo kuwii reer Laawi la doortay,

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.

ayaan Yeruusaalem madax uga dhigay walaalkay Xanaanii, iyo Xananyaah oo ahaa taliyihii qalcadda, waayo, wuxuu ahaa nin aamin ah, oo cabsida Ilaahna dad badan buu kaga horreeyey.

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

Oo waxaan iyagii ku idhi, Jeer ay qorraxdu kululaato yaan la furin irdaha Yeruusaalem, oo intay waardiyayaashu taagan yihiin albaabbada ha la xidho, oo idinku qataara, dadka Yeruusaalem degganna waardiyayaal ka doorta, oo mid waluba ha dhawro meel gurigiisa ka soo hor jeedda.

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:

Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu qalbigayga geliyey inaan soo wada ururiyo kuwii gobta ahaa, iyo taliyayaashii, iyo dadkii oo dhanba in abtiriskooda la tiriyo. Oo waxaan helay buuggii uu ku qornaa abtiriskii kuwii markii hore yimid, oo waxaan ka helay oo gudihiisa ku qornaa:

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.
