نَحَمْيا 7
| وَبَعْدَ أَنِ اكْتَمَلَ بِنَاءُ السُّورِ، وَأَقَمْتُ الْمَصَارِيعَ، وَتَمَّ تَعْيِينُ الْبَوَّابِينَ وَالْمُغَنِّينَ، وَاللّاوِيِّينَ، | ١ 1 |
When the wall was finished and I had set up the doors in place, and the gatekeepers and singers and Levites had been appointed,
| عَهِدْتُ بِتَدْبِيرِ شُؤُونِ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى أَخِي حَنَانِي، وَإِلَى حَنَنْيَا رَئِيسِ الْقَصْرِ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ رَجُلاً أَمِيناً يَتَّقِي اللهَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سِوَاهُ. | ٢ 2 |
I gave my brother Hanani charge over Jerusalem, along with Hananiah who had oversight of the fortress, for he was a faithful man and feared God more than many.
| وَقُلْتُ لَهُمَا: «لا تَسْمَحَا بِفَتْحِ أَبْوَابِ أُورُشَلِيمَ قَبْلَ اشْتِدَادِ حَرَارَةِ الشَّمْسِ، وَلْيَتِمَّ إِغْلاقُ مَصَارِيعِهَا وَأَقْفَالِهَا، وَحُرَّاسُ الأَبْوَابِ مَازَالُوا يَقُومُونَ بِنَوْبَةِ حِرَاسَتِهِمْ». وَعَيَّنْتُ حُرَّاساً مِنْ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَقَفَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ مُقَابِلَ بَيْتِهِ. | ٣ 3 |
I said to them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot. While the gatekeepers are on guard, you may shut the doors and bar them. Appoint guards from those who live in Jerusalem, some at the place of their guard station, and some in front of their own homes.”
| وَكَانَتِ الْمَدِينَةُ وَاسِعَةَ الأَرْجَاءِ وَعَظِيمَةً، وَلا يَقْطُنُهَا سِوَى شَعْبٍ قَلِيلٍ، لأَنَّ الْبُيُوتَ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ أُعِيدَ بِنَاؤُهَا. | ٤ 4 |
Now the city was wide and large, but there were few people within it, and no houses had yet been rebuilt.
| فَأَلْهَمَنِي إِلَهِي أَنْ أَجْمَعَ الأَشْرَافَ وَالْوُلاةَ وَالشَّعْبَ لِتَسْجِيلِ أَنْسَابِهِمْ حَسَبَ عَائِلاتِهِمْ، فَعَثَرْتُ عَلَى سِجِلِّ أَنْسَابِ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا أَوَّلاً مِنَ السَّبْيِ، وَوَجَدْتُ مُدَوَّناً فِيهِ: | ٥ 5 |
My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, the officials, and the people to enroll them by their families. I found the book of the genealogy of those who returned at the first and found the following written in it.
| هَؤُلاءِ هُمْ أَبْنَاءُ الْبِلادِ الَّذِينَ رَجَعُوا مِنْ سَبْيِ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَهُوذَا، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مَدِينَتِهِ: | ٦ 6 |
“These are the people of the province who went up out of the captivity of those exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon took into exile. They returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, each to his city.
| الَّذِينَ وَفَدُوا مَعَ زَرُبَّابِلَ وَيَشُوعَ وَنَحَمْيَا وَعَزَرْيَا وَرَعَمْيَا وَنَحْمَانِي وَمُرْدَخَايَ وَبِلْشَانَ وَمِسْفَارَثَ وَبِغْوَايَ وَنَحُومَ وَبَعْنَةَ. وَهَذَا بَيَانٌ بِعَدَدِ رِجَالِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: | ٧ 7 |

| وَهَذَا بَيَانٌ بِعَشَائِرِ الْعَائِدِينَ مِنْ تَلِّ مِلْحٍ وَتَلِّ حَرْشَا كَرُوبَ وَأَدُونَ وَإِمِّيرَ مِمَّنْ أَخْفَقُوا فِي إِثْبَاتِ انْتِمَاءِ بُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ وَنَسْلِهِمْ إِلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ: | ٦١ 61 |
These were the people who went up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Kerub, Addon, and Immer. But they could not prove that they or their ancestors' families were descendants from Israel:

These sought their records among those enrolled by their genealogy, but they could not be found, so they were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
| لِذَلِكَ أَمَرَهُمُ الْحَاكِمُ أَلّا يَتَنَاوَلُوا مِنْ طَعَامِ الْكَهَنَةِ إِلَى أَنْ يَحْضُرَ كَاهِنٌ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَسْتَخْدِمَ الأُورِيمَ وَالتُّمِّيمَ (لِيَفْصِلَ فِي الأَمْرِ). | ٦٥ 65 |
Then the governor said to them that they should not be allowed to eat the priests' share of food from the sacrifices until there rose up a priest with Urim and Thummim.
| فَكَانَتْ جُمْلَةُ الْعَائِدِينَ مِنَ السَّبْيِ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفاً وَثَلاثَ مِئَةٍ وَسِتِّينَ رَجُلاً، | ٦٦ 66 |
The whole assembly together was 42,360,
| فَضْلاً عَنْ عَبِيدِهِمْ وَإِمَائِهِمْ الَّذِينَ بَلَغَ مَجْمُوعُهُمْ سَبْعَةَ آلافٍ وَثَلاثَ مِئَةٍ وَسَبْعَةً وَثَلاثِينَ. أَمَّا الْمُغَنُّونَ وَالْمُغَنِّيَاتُ فَكَانُوا مِئَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ. | ٦٧ 67 |
besides their male servants and their female servants, of whom there were 7,337. They had 245 singing men and women.
| وَكَانَ مَعَهُمْ مِنَ الْخَيْلِ سَبْعُ مِئَةٍ وَسِتَّةٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ، وَمِنَ الْبِغَالِ مِئَتَانِ وَخَمْسَةٌ وَأَرْبَعُونَ. | ٦٨ 68 |
Their horses were 736 in number, their mules, 245,
| وَمِنَ الْجِمَالِ أَرْبَعُ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسَةٌ وَثَلاثُونَ، وَمِنَ الْحَمِيرِ سِتَّةُ آلافٍ وَسَبْعُ مِئَةٍ وَعِشْرُونَ. | ٦٩ 69 |
their camels, 435, and their donkeys, 6,720.
| وَتَبَرَّعَ بَعْضُ الرُّؤَسَاءِ بِأَمْوَالٍ لِلْعَمَلِ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، فَتَبَرَّعَ الْحَاكِمُ لِلْخَزِينَةِ بِأَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَخَمْسِينَ مِنْضَحَةً وَخَمْسِ مِئَةٍ وَثَلاثِينَ قَمِيصاً لِلْكَهَنَةِ. | ٧٠ 70 |
Some from among the heads of ancestors' families gave gifts for the work. The governor gave to the treasury one thousand darics of gold, 50 basins, and 530 priestly garments.
| وَقَدَّمَ بَعْضُ رُؤَسَاءِ الْعَائِلاتِ لِخَزِينَةِ الْعَمَلِ رِبْوَتَيْنِ (نَحْوَ مِئَةٍ وَسَبْعِينَ كِيلُو جِرَاماً) مِنَ الذَّهَبِ، وَأَلْفَيْنِ وَمِئَتَيْ مَناً (نَحْوَ طُنٍّ وَثُلْثِ الطُّنِّ) مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ. | ٧١ 71 |
Some of the heads of ancestors' families gave into the treasury for the work twenty thousand darics of gold and 2,200 minas of silver.
| وَأَمَّا مَا قَدَّمَهُ بَقِيَّةُ الشَّعْبِ فَكَانَ سِتَّ رِبْوَاتٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِ مِئَةٍ وَعَشْرِ كِيلُو جِرَاماً) مِنَ الذَّهَبِ، وَأَلْفَيْ مَناً (نَحْوَ طُنٍّ وَرُبْعِ الطُّنِّ) مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ وَسَبْعَةً وَسِتِّينَ قَمِيصاً لِلْكَهَنَةِ. | ٧٢ 72 |
The rest of the people gave twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand minas of silver, and sixty-seven priestly garments.
| وَسَكَنَ الْكَهَنَةُ وَاللّاوِيُّونَ وَحَرَسُ الأَبْوَابِ وَالْمُغَنُّونَ وَبَعْضُ الشَّعْبِ وَخُدَّامُ الْهَيْكَلِ وَسَائِرُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي مُدُنِهِمْ. وَمَا إِنْ أَهَلَّ الشَّهْرُ السَّابِعُ (سِبْتَمْبَر – أَيْلُولُ) حَتَّى كَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدِ اسْتَقَرُّوا 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. By the seventh month the people of Israel were settled in their cities.”
