Nehemija 7
1 A kad je zid bio sagrađen i kad sam namjestio vratna krila, postavljeni su čuvari na vratima i pjevači i leviti.
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 Upravu sam Jeruzalema povjerio Hananiju, svome bratu, i Hananiji, zapovjedniku tvrđave, jer je ovaj bio čovjek povjerenja i bojao se Boga kao malo tko.
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 Rekao sam im: “Jeruzalemska vrata neka se ne otvaraju dok sunce ne ogrije; a dok ono bude još visoko, neka ih zatvore i prebace prijevornice. Treba postaviti straže uzete između žitelja jeruzalemskih: svakoga na njegovo mjesto, svakoga nasuprot njegovoj kući.
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 Grad je bio prostran i velik, ali je u njemu bilo malo stanovnika jer nije bilo sagrađenih kuća.
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 A Bog me moj nadahnuo te sam skupio velikaše, odličnike i narod da se unesu u rodovnike. Tada sam našao rodovnik onih koji su se prije vratili. U njemu nađoh zapisano:
[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 Evo ljudi iz pokrajine koji su došli iz sužanjstva u koje ih bijaše odveo Nabukodonozor, babilonski kralj. Vratili su se u Jeruzalem i Judeju, svaki u svoj grad.
(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].
