¹Zvino rusvingo rwakati rwavakwa, ini ndatimika magonhi, uye varindi vemikova, navaimbi, navaRevhi, vagadzwa,

¹And it cometh to pass, when the wall hath been built, that I set up the doors, and the gatekeepers are appointed, and the singers, and the Levites,

²ndikagadza Hanani munin'ina wangu, naHanania mubati wenhare, vave vatariri veJerusaremu; nekuti akanga ari munhu akatendeka, achitya Mwari kupfuura vazhinji.

²and I charge Hanani my brother, and Hananiah head of the palace, concerning Jerusalem — for he [is] as a man of truth, and fearing God above many —

³Ndikati kwavari, Masuwo eJerusaremu ngaarege kuzarurwa kusvikira zuva rapisa; zvino varindi vachimirepo, ngavapfige mikova, imwi mugoikiya; munofanira kugadzawo varindi pakati pavagere Jerusaremu, mumwe nomumwe paanofanira kurindira, mumwe nomumwe pakatarisana neimba yake.

³and I say to them, `Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened till the heat of the sun, and while they are standing by let them shut the doors, and fasten, and appoint guards of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each in his guard, and each over-against his house.`

⁴Zvino guta rakanga riri bamhi rakakura; asi vanhu vaivamo vashoma; uye dzimba dzakanga dzichigere kuvakwa.

⁴And the city [is] broad on both sides, and great, and the people [are] few in its midst, and there are no houses builded;
