Nehemiah 7
1 When the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites were appointed.
Postquam autem ædificatus est murus, et posui valvas, et recensui ianitores, et cantores, et Levitas:
2 Then I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, along with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, because he was a faithful man who feared God more than most.
præcepi Hanani fratri meo, et Hananiæ principi domus de Ierusalem (ipse enim quasi vir verax et timens Deum plus ceteris videbatur)
3 And I told them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot. While the guards are on duty, keep the doors shut and securely fastened. And appoint the residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some at their own homes.”
et dixi eis: Non aperiantur portæ Ierusalem usque ad calorem solis. Cumque adhuc assisterent, clausæ portæ sunt, et oppilatæ: et posui custodes de habitatoribus Ierusalem, singulos per vices suas, et unumquemque contra domum suam.
4 Now the city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it, and the houses had not yet been rebuilt.
Civitas autem erat lata nimis et grandis, et populus parvus in medio eius, et non erant domus ædificatæ.
5 Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials, and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had first returned, and I found the following written in it:
Deus autem dedit in corde meo, et congregavi optimates, et magistratus, et vulgus, ut recenserem eos: et inveni librum census eorum, qui ascenderant primum, et inventum est scriptum in eo.
6 These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles carried away to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar its king. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town,
Isti filii provinciæ, qui ascenderunt de captivitate migrantium, quos transtulerat Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, et reversi sunt in Ierusalem, et in Iudæam, unusquisque in civitatem suam.

61 The following came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer, but could not prove that their families were descended from Israel:

Et de Sacerdotibus, filii Habia, filii Accos, filii Berzellai, qui accepit de filiabus Berzellai Galaaditis uxorem: et vocatus est nomine eorum.
64 These men searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
Hi quæsierunt scripturam suam in censu, et non invenerunt: et eiecti sunt de sacerdotio.
65 The governor ordered them not to eat the most holy things until there was a priest to consult the Urim and Thummim.
Dixitque Athersatha eis ut non manducarent de Sanctis sanctorum, donec staret Sacerdos doctus et eruditus.
66 The whole assembly numbered 42,360,
Omnis multitudo quasi vir unus quadragintaduo millia trecenti sexaginta,
67 in addition to their 7,337 menservants and maidservants, as well as their 245 male and female singers.
absque servis et ancillis eorum, qui erant septem millia trecenti trigintaseptem, et inter eos cantores, et cantatrices, ducenti quadragintaquinque.
68 They had 736 horses, 245 mules,
Equi eorum, septingenti trigintasex: muli eorum, ducenti quadragintaquinque:
69 435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
cameli eorum, quadringenti trigintaquinque: asini, sex millia septingenti viginti.
70 Some of the heads of the families contributed to the project. The governor gave to the treasury 1,000 darics of gold, 50 bowls, and 530 priestly garments.
Nonnulli autem de principibus familiarum dederunt in opus. Athersatha dedit in thesaurum auri drachmas mille, phialas quinquaginta, tunicas sacerdotales quingentas triginta.
71 And some of the heads of the families gave to the treasury for the project 20,000 darics of gold and 2,200 minas of silver.
Et de principibus familiarum dederunt in thesaurum operis auri drachmas viginti millia, et argenti mnas duo millia ducentas.
72 The rest of the people gave a total of 20,000 darics of gold, 2,000 minas of silver, and 67 priestly garments.
Et quod dedit reliquus populus, auri drachmas viginti millia, et argenti mnas duo millia, et tunicas sacerdotales sexagintaseptem.
73 So the priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, and temple servants, along with some of the people and the rest of the Israelites, settled in their own towns. And by the seventh month the Israelites had settled in their towns.
Habitaverunt autem Sacerdotes, et Levitæ, et ianitores, et cantores, et reliquum vulgus, et Nathinæi, et omnis Israel in civitatibus suis.
