نَحَمْيَا 7
| وَلَمَّا بُنِيَ ٱلسُّورُ، وَأَقَمْتُ ٱلْمَصَارِيعَ، وَتَرَتَّبَ ٱلْبَوَّابُونَ وَٱلْمُغَنُّونَ وَٱللَّاوِيُّونَ، | ١ 1 |
Now when the wall was built and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
| أَقَمْتُ حَنَانِيَ أَخِي وَحَنَنْيَا رَئِيسَ ٱلْقَصْرِ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ رَجُلًا أَمِينًا يَخَافُ ٱللهَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ كَثِيرِينَ. | ٢ 2 |
I put my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the fortress, in charge of Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man and feared God above many.
| وَقُلْتُ لَهُمَا: «لَا تُفْتَحْ أَبْوَابُ أُورُشَلِيمَ حَتَّى تَحْمَى ٱلشَّمْسُ. وَمَا دَامُوا وُقُوفًا فَلْيُغْلِقُوا ٱلْمَصَارِيعَ وَيُقْفِلُوهَا. وَأُقِيمَ حِرَاسَاتٌ مِنْ سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى حِرَاسَتِهِ، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مُقَابِلَ بَيْتِهِ». | ٣ 3 |
I said to them, “Don’t let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they stand guard, let them shut the doors, and you bar them; and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, everyone in his watch, with everyone near his house.”
| وَكَانَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ وَاسِعَةَ ٱلْجَنَابِ وَعَظِيمَةً، وَٱلشَّعْبُ قَلِيلًا فِي وَسَطِهَا، وَلَمْ تَكُنِ ٱلْبُيُوتُ قَدْ بُنِيَتْ. | ٤ 4 |
Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not built.
| فَأَلْهَمَنِي إِلَهِي أَنْ أَجْمَعَ ٱلْعُظَمَاءَ وَٱلْوُلَاةَ وَٱلشَّعْبَ لِأَجْلِ ٱلِٱنْتِسَابِ. فَوَجَدْتُ سِفْرَ ٱنْتِسَابِ ٱلَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا أَوَّلًا وَوَجَدْتُ مَكْتُوبًا فِيهِ: | ٥ 5 |
My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be listed by genealogy. I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found this written in it:
| هَؤُلَاءِ هُمْ بَنُو ٱلْكُورَةِ ٱلصَّاعِدُونَ مِنْ سَبْيِ ٱلْمَسْبِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَاهُمْ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ وَرَجَعُوا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَهُوذَا، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مَدِينَتِهِ. | ٦ 6 |

These searched for their genealogical records, but couldn’t find them. Therefore they were deemed disqualified and removed from the priesthood.

Some from amongst the heads of fathers’ households gave to the work. The governor gave to the treasury one thousand darics of gold, fifty basins, and five hundred and thirty priests’ garments.
| وَٱلْبَعْضُ مِنْ رُؤُوسِ ٱلْآبَاءِ أَعْطَوْا لِخَزِينَةِ ٱلْعَمَلِ رِبَوَتَيْنِ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ، وَأَلْفَيْنِ وَمِئَتَيْ مَنًا مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ. | ٧١ 71 |
Some of the heads of fathers’ households gave into the treasury of the work twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand and two hundred minas of silver.
| وَمَا أَعْطَاهُ بَقِيَّةُ ٱلشَّعْبِ سِتَّ رِبْوَاتٍ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ، وَأَلْفَيْ مَنًا مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَسَبْعَةً وَسِتِّينَ قَمِيصًا لِلْكَهَنَةِ. | ٧٢ 72 |
That which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand darics of gold, plus two thousand minas of silver, and sixty-seven priests’ garments.
| وَأَقَامَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَاللَّاوِيُّونَ وَٱلْبَوَّابُونَ وَٱلْمُغَنُّونَ وَبَعْضُ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَٱلنَّثِينِيمُ وَكُلُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي مُدُنِهِمْ. | ٧٣ 73 |
So the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the temple servants, and all Israel lived in their cities. When the seventh month had come, the children of Israel were in their cities.
