Nehemias 7
1 Da Muren var bygget, lod jeg Portfløjene indsætte, og Dørvogterne, Sangerne og Leviterne blev ansat.
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 Overbefalingen over Jerusalem gav jeg min Broder Hanani og Borgøversten Hananja; thi han var en paalidelig Mand og frygtede Gud som faa;
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 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!«
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 Men Byen var udstrakt og stor og dens Indbyggere faa, og Husene var endnu ikke opbygget.
Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not built.
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:
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 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 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,
