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。
Once the wall had been rebuilt and I had put up the doors, I appointed the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites.
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。
I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, together with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, because he was an honest man who respected God more than many others.
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。」
I told them, “Don't allow the gates of Jerusalem to be opened until the sun is hot, and make sure the guards shut and bolt the doors while they're still on duty. Appoint some of the residents of Jerusalem as guards, to be at their posts, standing in front of their own houses.”
4 城是廣大，其中的民卻稀少，房屋還沒有建造。
In those times the city was large with plenty of space, but there weren't many people in it, and the houses hadn't 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：
My God encouraged me to have everyone—the nobles, the officials, and the people—all come to be registered according to their family genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had returned first. This what I discovered written there.
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。
This is a list of the people of the province who returned from the captivity. These were the exiles who had been taken away to Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzar. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, to their home towns.
