< 尼希米記 7 >
1 城牆修完,我安了門扇,守門的、歌唱的,和利未人都已派定。
When the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites were appointed.
2 我就派我的弟兄哈拿尼和營樓的宰官哈拿尼雅管理耶路撒冷;因為哈拿尼雅是忠信的,又敬畏上帝過於眾人。
Then I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, along with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, because he was a faithful man who feared God more than most.
3 我吩咐他們說:「等到太陽上升才可開耶路撒冷的城門;人尚看守的時候就要關門上閂;也當派耶路撒冷的居民各按班次看守自己房屋對面之處。」
And I told them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot. While the guards are on duty, keep the doors shut and securely fastened. And appoint the residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some at their own homes.”
Now the city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it, and the houses had not yet been rebuilt.
5 我的上帝感動我心,招聚貴冑、官長,和百姓,要照家譜計算。我找着第一次上來之人的家譜,其上寫着:
Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials, and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had first returned, and I found the following written in it:
6 巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒從前擄去猶大省的人,現在他們的子孫從被擄到之地回耶路撒冷和猶大,各歸本城。
These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles carried away to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar its king. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town,
7 他們是同着所羅巴伯、耶書亞、尼希米、亞撒利雅、拉米、拿哈瑪尼、末底改、必珊、米斯毗列、比革瓦伊、尼宏、巴拿回來的。

61 從特米拉、特哈薩、基綠、亞頓、音麥上來的,不能指明他們的宗族譜系是以色列人不是;
The following came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer, but could not prove that their families were descended from Israel:
62 他們是第萊雅的子孫、多比雅的子孫、尼哥大的子孫,共六百四十二名。
the descendants of Delaiah, the descendants of Tobiah, and the descendants of Nekoda, 642 in all.
63 祭司中,哈巴雅的子孫、哈哥斯的子孫、巴西萊的子孫;因為他們的先祖娶了基列人巴西萊的女兒為妻,所以起名叫巴西萊。
And from among the priests: the descendants of Hobaiah, the descendants of Hakkoz, and the descendants of Barzillai (who had married a daughter of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by their name).
64 這三家的人在族譜之中尋查自己的譜系,卻尋不着,因此算為不潔,不准供祭司的職任。
These men searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
65 省長對他們說:「不可吃至聖的物,直到有用烏陵和土明決疑的祭司興起來。」
The governor ordered them not to eat the most holy things until there was a priest to consult the Urim and Thummim.
The whole assembly numbered 42,360,
67 此外,還有他們的僕婢七千三百三十七名,又有歌唱的男女二百四十五名。
in addition to their 7,337 menservants and maidservants, as well as their 245 male and female singers.
They had 736 horses, 245 mules,
435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
70 有些族長為工程捐助。省長捐入庫中的金子一千達利克,碗五十個,祭司的禮服五百三十件。
Some of the heads of the families contributed to the project. The governor gave to the treasury 1,000 darics of gold, 50 bowls, and 530 priestly garments.
71 又有族長捐入工程庫的金子二萬達利克,銀子二千二百彌拿。
And some of the heads of the families gave to the treasury for the project 20,000 darics of gold and 2,200 minas of silver.
72 其餘百姓所捐的金子二萬達利克,銀子二千彌拿,祭司的禮服六十七件。
The rest of the people gave a total of 20,000 darics of gold, 2,000 minas of silver, and 67 priestly garments.
73 於是祭司、利未人、守門的、歌唱的、民中的一些人、尼提寧,並以色列眾人,各住在自己的城裏。
So the priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, and temple servants, along with some of the people and the rest of the Israelites, settled in their own towns. And by the seventh month the Israelites had settled in their towns.
