< 尼希米記 7 >
1 當城垣修好之後,我安了門扇,遂委派了守門者、歌詠者和肋未人。
Then, after the wall was built, and I set up the double doors, and I enrolled the gatekeepers, and the singing men, and the Levites,
2 以後,我委派了我的兄弟哈納尼,和堡壘長哈納尼雅,管理耶路撒冷,因為哈納尼雅是一個可信賴、敬畏天主出眾的人。
I instructed Hanani, my brother, and Hananiah, the leader of the house of Jerusalem, (for he seemed to be a truthful man, fearing God more than the others, )
3 我命他們說:「耶路撒冷的門,不到太陽發暖不准開;太陽還未落時,就要關門上閂! 守衛當由耶路撒冷的居民中指派,各按自己的班次,各在自己的屋前守衛。」
and I said to them: “Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot.” And while they were standing there, the gates were closed and barred. And I stationed guards from the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each one in his turn, and each one opposite his own house.
4 那時城市寬闊廣大,但城中居民稀少,房舍還沒有建築。
Now the city was great and very wide, and the people in its midst were few, and the houses were not yet built.
5 我的天主使我立意,召集有權勢的人、官長和民眾,要他們來登記。我發現了一冊初次由充軍歸來的人的族譜,上面有這樣的記載:
But God had given to my heart, and I gathered the nobles, and the magistrates, and the common people, so that I might enroll them. And I found a book of the census of those who first went up, and in it there was found written:
6 以下是由被擄充軍返回本省的子民的人中,當初被巴比倫王拿步高,擄往巴比倫去的人中,回了耶路撒冷和猶大,各本城的人。
These are the sons of the province, who ascended from the captivity of the transmigration, those whom Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had taken away, and who returned into Jerusalem and Judea, each one to his own city.

64 他們查考登記的族譜,卻沒有找到自己的名字,所以他們由司祭中被革除了。
These sought their writing in the census, and they did not find it, and so they were cast out of the priesthood.
65 省長指令他們,不准他們享用至聖之物,直到有位大司祭,帶著烏陵和突明出來解決。
And the cupbearer said to them that they should not eat from the Holy of Holies, until a priest would stand up who was learned and skillful.
The entire multitude, which was like one man, was forty-two thousand three hundred sixty,
