< 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。
Now when the wall was built and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
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 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.
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。」
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.”
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 wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not 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:
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:
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 children of the province who went up out of the captivity of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, everyone to his 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 searched for their genealogical records, but couldn’t find them. Therefore they were deemed disqualified and removed from 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。
The governor told them not to eat of the most holy things until a priest stood up to minister with Urim and Thummim.
