UNehemiya 3:1-12

Kwase kusukuma u-Eliyashibi umpristi omkhulu nabafowabo abapristi, bakha iSango Lezimvu; balingcwelisa, bamisa izivalo zalo; kwaze kwaba seMbhoshongweni waseMeya bawungcwelisa, kwaze kwaba naseMbhoshongweni kaHananeli. Eceleni kwakhe kwakha amadoda aseJeriko. Eceleni kwabo kwalungisa uSakuri indodana ka-Imri. Kodwa iSango Lezinhlanzi lakhiwa amadodana kaHasenaha, futhi babeka imishayo yalo, bamisa izicabha zalo, izihluthulelo zalo nemigoqo yalo. Eceleni kwabo kwalungisa uMeremoti indodana ka-Uriya indodana kaKoshi. Eceleni kwabo kwalungisa uMesulamu indodana kaBeregiya kaMeshesabeli. Eceleni kwabo uSadoki indodana kaBahana walulama. Eceleni kwabo kwasinda abaseThekhowa; kodwa izikhulu zabo kazibekanga izintamo zabo emsebenzini weNkosi yabo. Isango elidala lalilungiswa nguJehoyada indodana kaPhasehaki, noMeshulamu indodana kaBesodiya; babeka imishayo yalo, bamisa izivalo zalo nezihluthulelo zalo nemigoqo yalo. Eceleni kwabo uMelathiya waseGibeyoni noJadoni waseMeronoti, amadoda aseGibeyoni naseMispa, abuyisela esihlalweni sobukhosi sombusi ongasentshonalanga koMfula. Eceleni kwakhe kwalungisa u-Uziyeli indodana kaHarihaya, umkhandi wegolide; Eceleni kwakhe uHananiya, indodana yabathaki beziqholo, naye wabuya, baqinisa iJerusalema kuze kube sogangeni olubanzi. Eceleni kwabo uRefaya indodana kaHure, umbusi wengxenye yesifunda saseJerusalema, walungisa. Eceleni kwabo kwalungisa uJedaya indodana kaHarumafi malungana nendlu yakhe. Eceleni kwakhe uHathusi, indodana kaHasabinja, walulama. UMalikhiya, indodana kaHarimi, noHasubu, indodana kaPhahati Mowabi, balungisa elinye ibanga nombhoshongo wamaziko. Eceleni kwakhe uShalumi indodana kaHalohesi, umbusi wengxenye yesifunda saseJerusalema, walungisa, yena namadodakazi akhe.
