¹And it came to pass when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, that the doorkeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed.

¹Ary nony vita ny manda, ka voalatsako ny lela-vavahady, sady voatendry ny mpiandry varavarana sy ny mpihira ary ny Levita,

²And I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the citadel, charge over Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man and feared God above many.

²dia notendreko Hanany rahalahiko sy Hanania, lehiben'ny tao an-dapa, hitandrina an'i Jerosalema, fa lehilahy mahatoky izy sady matahotra an'Andriamanitra mihoatra noho ny maro.

³And I said to them that the gates of Jerusalem should not be opened until the sun was hot, and that they should shut the doors and bar them while they stood by; and that there should be appointed watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one over against his house.

³Koa hoy izaho tamin'ireo: Aza avela hovohana ny vavahadin'i Jerosalema mandra-pahafanan'ny andro; ary raha mbola milanona eo ny mpiambina, dia aoka harindriny ny varavarana, ka hidionareo; ary manendre mpiambina avy amin'izay monina ato Jerosalema ihany samy ho eo amin'ny fiambenany avy, dia samy ho eo amin'ny tandrifin'ny tranony avy.

⁴Now the city was large and great; but the people in it were few, and no houses were built.

⁴Ary malalaka sy lehibe ny tanàna, nefa vitsy olona, sady tsy mbola vita ny trano.

⁵And my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, for registration by genealogy. And I found a genealogical register of those that had come up at the first, and I found written in it:

⁵Ary nomen'Andriamanitro hevitra aho hamory ny manan-kaja sy ny mpanapaka mbamin'ny vahoaka, mba halaina isa araka ny firazanany avy ireo. Ary hitako ny taratasy filazana ny firazanan'izay niakatra voalohany, ka izao no hitako voasoratra tao:
