Nehemias 7
1 Da Muren var bygget, lod jeg Portfløjene indsætte, og Dørvogterne, Sangerne og Leviterne blev ansat.
Now after the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and numbered the porters and singing men, and Levites:
2 Overbefalingen over Jerusalem gav jeg min Broder Hanani og Borgøversten Hananja; thi han var en pålidelig Mand og frygtede Gud som få;
I commanded Hanani my brother, and Hananias ruler of the house of Jerusalem, (for he seemed as a sincere man, and one that feared God above the rest, )
3 og jeg sagde til dem: "Jerusalems Porte må ikke åbnes, før Solen står højt på Himmelen; og medens den endnu står der, skal man lukke og stænge Portene og sætte Jerusalems Indbyggere på Vagt, hver på sin Post, hver ud for sit Hus!"
And I said to them: Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened till the sun be hot. And while they were yet standing by, the gates were shut, and barred: and I set watchmen of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one by their courses, and every mall over against his house.
4 Men Byen var udstrakt og stor og dens Indbygere få, og Husene var endnu ikke opbygget.
And the city was very wide and great, and the people few in the midst thereof, 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:
But God had put in my heart, and I assembled the princes and magistrates, and common people, to number them: and I found a book of the number of them who came up at first, and therein it was found written:
6 Følgende er de Folk fra vor Landsdel, der drog op fra Land flygtigheden og Fangenskabet. Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel havde ført dem bort, men nu vendte de til bage til Jerusalem og Juda, hver til sin By;
These are the children of the province, who came up from the captivity of them that had been carried away, whom Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned into Judea, every one into his own city.
