1 O o dadka amiirradiisii waxay degeen Yeruusaalem, oo dadka intiisii kalena waxay saami u riteen inay tobankii qofba mid ka soo bixiyaan inuu dego magaalada quduuska ah oo Yeruusaalem, oo sagaalka qof oo kalena ay degaan magaalooyinka kale.

Now the leaders of the people lived in Jerusalem, but the rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of ten to live in Jerusalem, the holy city, while nine-tenths remained in the other cities.

2 O o dadkiina waxay u duceeyeen dadkii ikhtiyaarkooda isu bixiyey inay Yeruusaalem degganaadaan.

Now the overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, from the sons of Asaph, who were the singers for the service of the house of God.

23 W aayo, waxaa jiray amar iyaga ku saabsan oo boqorka ka yimid, oo kuwii gabayaaga ahaa waxaa loo xukumay sooryo rukun ah siday maalin walba ugu baahnaayeen.

For there was a commandment from the king concerning them and a firm regulation for the song leaders day by day.
