Nehemiah 11

1 And the princes of the people dwelt in Jerusalem; the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts in the other cities.

Bakambi ya bato bayaki kovanda na Yelusalemi. Ndambo mosusu kati na bato babetaki zeke mpo ete moto moko kati na bato zomi aya kovanda na Yelusalemi, engumba ya bule; mpe mpo ete bato libwa oyo batikali bavanda kati na bingumba na bango.

2 And the people blessed all the men that willingly offered themselves to dwell in Jerusalem.

Bato bapambolaki moto nyonso oyo amipesaki ye moko mpo na kovanda na Yelusalemi.
