Basi, wakuu wa watu walikuwa wakikaa Yerusalemu; nao watu waliosalia wakapiga kura, ili katika watu kumi kumleta mmoja akae ndani ya Yerusalemu mji mtakatifu, na wale kenda wakae mijini.
Now the leaders of the people settled in Jerusalem, and the rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of ten to live in the holy city of Jerusalem, while the remaining nine were to dwell in their own towns.
