নেহেমিয়া 7
1 ১ দেৱালবোৰ যেতিয়া সাজি সমাপ্ত কৰা হৈছিল। তেতিয়া মই দুৱাৰবোৰ যথাস্থানত খুউৱাইছিলোঁ আৰু দুৱৰী, গায়ক, আৰু লেবীয়াসকলক নিযুক্ত কৰা হৈছিল,
After the wall had been finished and we had put the gates in their places, we assigned to the temple guards and to the members of the [sacred] choir and the other descendants of Levi the work that they were to do.
2 ২ মই মোৰ ভাই হনানীক, হননিয়াৰ সৈতে যিৰূচালেমৰ দ্বায়ীত্ব দিছিলোঁ, যদিও তেওঁ এজন বিশ্বাসী আৰু ঈশ্বৰলৈ বহুলোকতকৈ অধিক ভয়কাৰী আছিল, কিন্তু তেওঁ দুৰ্গৰ দ্বায়ীত্ব বহন কৰিব পৰা নাছিল।
I appointed two men to [help me to] govern Jerusalem, my brother Hanani and Hananiah who was the commander of the fortress [in Jerusalem]. Hananiah always did his work reliably, and he revered God more than most other people do.
3 ৩ মই তেওঁলোকক ক’লোঁ, “যেতিয়ালৈকে টান ৰ’দ নহয়, তেতিয়ালৈকে যিৰূচালেমৰ দুৱাৰবোৰ মেলিব নালাগে। দুৱৰী সকলে পৰ দি থকাৰ সময়ত আপোনালোকে দুৱাৰবোৰ বন্ধ কৰিব, আৰু ডাং বোৰ দিব পাৰিব। আপোনালোকে যিৰূচালেমত নিবাস কৰা লোক সকলক প্রহৰীৰ বাবে নিযুক্ত কৰিব, কিছুমানে তেওঁলোকৰ প্রহৰী স্থানত, আৰু কিছুমানে নিজৰ ঘৰৰ সন্মুখত পহৰা দিব।”
I said to them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until late each morning. And close the gates and put the bars across the doors [(late in each afternoon/before sunset)] while the gatekeepers are still guarding the gates.” I also told them to appoint some people who lived in Jerusalem to be guards [on the wall], and to assign some of them to be guards at certain other places and to assign others to guard the area close to their own houses.
4 ৪ এই নগৰ বহল আৰু ডাঙৰ আছিল, কিন্তু তাৰ ভিতৰত লোক কম আছিল, আৰু এতিয়াও ঘৰবোৰ পুনৰ নিৰ্ম্মাণ কৰা হোৱা নাছিল।
The city [of Jerusalem] covered a large area, but [at that time] not many people lived in the city, and they had not built many new houses yet [HYP].
5 ৫ প্ৰধান লোক সকলক, কৰ্মচাৰী সকলক আৰু লোক সকলক বংশাৱলীত তেওঁলোকৰ নাম অন্তৰ্ভুক্ত কৰিবৰ বাবে একগোট কৰিবলৈ মোৰ ঈশ্ৱৰে মোৰ হৃদয়ত কথা ক’লে। মই বাবিলৰ পৰা প্ৰথমে অহা লোকসকলৰ এখন বংশাৱলী-পত্ৰ পালোঁ, আৰু তলত উল্লেখিত এই সকলো বিচাৰি পালোঁ।
[To defend the city, we needed more people there.] Then God gave me the idea to summon the leaders and officials and [other] people, and to look in the books [in which were written the names] of all the people and their clans. So I found the records of the people who had first returned from Babylonia. This is what I found written in those records:
6 ৬ “প্রদেশৰ এই লোক সকল, যি সকলক বাবিলৰ ৰজা নবূখদনেচৰে বন্দি কৰি লৈ গৈছিল, আৰু বন্দিত্ৱত ৰাখিছিল। তেওঁলোক বন্দিত্ৱৰ পৰা মুকলি হৈ যিৰূচালেম আৰু যিহূদাৰ নিজৰ নিজৰ নগৰলৈ উভটি আহিছিল।
(This is a list/Here are the names) of the people who returned to Jerusalem and to other places in Judea. They had been living in Babylonia since King Nebuchadnezzar’s army had captured their relatives/ancestors and took them to Babylonia. But they had returned to Judea and were living in the towns [where their ancestors had lived].
7 ৭ তেওঁলোক জৰুব্বাবিল, যেচুৱা, নহিমিয়া, অজৰিয়া, ৰয়মিয়া, নহমানী, মৰ্দখয়, বিলচন, মিস্পৰৎ, বিগবয়, নহুম, আৰু বানা, এওঁলোকৰ লগত আহিল। উল্লেখিত ইস্ৰায়েল লোকৰ পুৰুষ সকলৰ সংখ্যা তলত অন্তৰ্ভুক্ত আছে।
Their leaders were Zerubbabel, Joshua, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah, and me. This is a list of the number of men in each clan who returned:

[Other] descendants of Levi who returned were: 74 from the clan of Jeshua and Kadmiel, who are descendants of Hodevah [who is also known as Hodaviah];
148 singers who are descendants of Asaph.
Also 138 temple gatekeepers from the clans of Shallum, Ater, Talmon, Akkub, Hatita, and Shobai returned.

Altogether, there were 392 temple workers and descendants of Solomon’s servants who returned.
61 ৬১ এওঁলোক তেল-মেলহ, তেল-হৰ্চা, কৰূব, অদ্দোন, আৰু ইম্মেৰৰ পৰা অহা লোক; কিন্তু তেওঁলোকে আৰু তেওঁলোকৰ পূৰ্বপুৰুষৰ পৰিয়াল সকলে ইস্ৰায়েলৰ পৰা অহা বংশধৰ বুলি প্ৰমাণ দিব নোৱাৰিলে।
Another group of 642 people from the clans of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda also returned. They came from the towns of Tel-Melah, Tel-Harsha, Kerub, Addan ([which is also known as Addon]), and Immer [in Babylonia]. But they could not prove that they were descendants of Israelis.
63 ৬৩ পুৰোহিতসকলৰ: হবয়া, হক্কোচ, আৰু বৰ্জ্জিল্লয়ৰ বংশধৰসকল, বাৰ্জ্জিলয়ে গিলিয়দীয়া বাৰ্জিল্লয়ৰ জীয়েক এজনীক বিয়া কৰিছিল আৰু তেওঁক তেওঁলোক নামেৰেই মতা হৈছিল।
Priests from the clans of Hobaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai also returned. Barzillai had married a woman who is a descendant of [a man named] Barzillai from [the] Gilead [region], and he had taken his wife’s family name.
64 ৬৪ বংশাৱলীত নাম লিখা লোকসকলৰ মাজত এওঁলোকে নিজৰ নিজৰ নাম বিচাৰি নাপালে, সেয়ে তেওঁলোকক অশুচি বুলি গণ্য কৰি, পুৰোহিত বাবৰ পৰা আঁতৰোৱা হ’ল।
They searched in the records that contained the names of people’s ancestors, but they could not find the names of those clans, so they were not allowed to have the rights and duties that priests have right away.
65 ৬৫ আৰু দেশাধ্যক্ষই তেওঁলোকক ক’লে যে, উৰীম আৰু তুম্মীমৰ পুৰোহিতৰ সৈতে যেতিয়ালৈকে তেওঁলোক থিয় নহয়, তেতিয়ালৈকে পুৰোহিতে ভগোৱা উৎসৰ্গিত আহাৰ তেওঁলোকক খাবলৈ অনুমতি দিয়া নহঁওক।
The governor told them that before they could eat the food offered as sacrifices, a priest should use the marked stones [to find out what God said about their being priests].
Altogether, there were 42,360 people who returned to Judea.
67 ৬৭ তাৰ উপৰিও তেওঁলোকৰ সাত হাজাৰ তিনি শ সাতত্ৰিশ জন দাস-দাসী আছিল। তেওঁলোকৰ দুশ পঞ্চল্লিশ জন গায়ক আৰু গায়িকা আছিল।
There were also 7,337 of their servants, and 245 singers, which included men and women.
The Israelis also brought back [from Babylonia] 736 horses, 245 mules,
435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
70 ৭০ পূৰ্বপুৰুষৰ পৰিয়ালৰ মূখ্য লোক সকলৰ মাজৰ কিছুমানে সেই কামৰ বাবে দান দিলে। দেশাধ্যক্ষই ভঁৰালত এক হাজাৰ সোণৰ মূদ্রা, পঞ্চাশটা চৰিয়া, আৰু পুৰোহিতৰ বাবে পাঁচ শ ত্ৰিশ খন বস্ত্ৰ দিলে।
Some of the leaders of the clans gave gifts for the work [of rebuilding the temple]. I, being the governor, gave (17 pounds/8.6 kg.) of gold, 50 bowls [to be used in the temple], and 530 robes for the priests.
71 ৭১ পূৰ্বপুৰুষৰ মূখ্য লোকসকলৰ কিছুমানে কামৰ বাবে ভঁৰালত বিশ হাজাৰ সোণৰ মূদ্রা আৰু দুই হাজাৰ দুশ ৰূপ মূদ্রা দিলে।
Some of the leaders of the clans gave a total of (337 pounds/153 kg.) of gold, and (3,215 pounds/1,460 kg.) of silver.
72 ৭২ অৱশিষ্ট লোকসকলে বিশ হাজাৰ সোণৰ মূদ্রা আৰু দুই হাজাৰ ৰূপৰ মূদ্রা, আৰু পুৰোহিতৰ বাবে সাতষষ্ঠি খন বস্ত্ৰ দিলে।
The rest of the people gave a total of (337 pounds/153 kg.) of gold, (2,923 pounds/1,330 kg.) of silver, and 67 robes for the priests.
73 ৭৩ পুৰোহিত, লেবীয়া, দুৱৰী, গায়ক, আৰু কিছু সংখ্যক লোকে, মন্দিৰৰ দাস, আৰু সকলো ইস্ৰায়েল লোকে নিজৰ নিজৰ নগৰত বাস কৰিলে। সপ্তম মাহত ইস্রায়েলৰ লোকসকলে নিজৰ নিজৰ নগৰত সংস্থাপন কৰিলে।
So the priests, the [other] descendants of Levi [who helped the priests], the temple guards, the musicians, the temple workers, and many ordinary people, who were all Israelis, started to live in the towns and cities of Judea [where their ancestors had lived].
