Nehemias 7
1 Da Muren var bygget, lod jeg Portfløjene indsætte, og Dørvogterne, Sangerne og Leviterne blev ansat.
Now when the building of the wall was complete and I had put up the doors, and the door-keepers and the music-makers and the Levites had been given their places,
2 Overbefalingen over Jerusalem gav jeg min Broder Hanani og Borgøversten Hananja; thi han var en paalidelig Mand og frygtede Gud som faa;
I made my brother Hanani, and Hananiah, the ruler of the tower, responsible for the government of Jerusalem: for he was a man of good faith, fearing God more than most.
3 og jeg sagde til dem: »Jerusalems Porte maa ikke aabnes, før Solen staar højt paa Himmelen; og medens den endnu staar der, skal man lukke og stænge Portene og sætte Jerusalems Indbyggere paa Vagt, hver paa sin Post, hver ud for sit Hus!«
And I said to them, Do not let the doors of Jerusalem be open till the sun is high; and while the watchmen are in their places, let the doors be shut and locked: and let the people of Jerusalem be put on watch, every one in his watch, opposite his house.
4 Men Byen var udstrakt og stor og dens Indbyggere faa, og Husene var endnu ikke opbygget.
Now the town was wide and great: but the people in it were only a small number, and the houses had not been put up.
5 Da skød min Gud mig i Sinde at samle de store, Forstanderne og Folket for at indføre dem i Slægtsfortegnelser. Og da fandt jeg Slægtebogen over dem, der først var draget op, og i den fandt jeg skrevet:
And my God put it into my heart to get together the rulers and the chiefs and the people so that they might be listed by families. And I came across a record of the names of those who came up at the first, and in it I saw these words:
6 Følgende er de Folk fra vor Landsdel, der drog op fra Landflygtigheden og Fangenskabet. Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel havde ført dem bort, men nu vendte de tilbage til Jerusalem og Juda, hver til sin By;
These are the people of the divisions of the kingdom, among those who had been made prisoners by Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and taken away by him, who went back to Jerusalem and Judah, every one to his town;
