Nehemiah 7
1 Now after the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and numbered the porters and singing men, and Levites:
Setelah benteng Yerusalem selesai dibangun dan pintu-pintu gerbangnya sudah dipasang, kami menunjuk sejumlah orang sebagai penjaga gerbang. Selain itu, ditetapkan juga orang-orang Lewi yang bertugas di rumah TUHAN untuk menjadi penyanyi, pemain musik, dan petugas-petugas lainnya.
2 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, )
Kemudian saya mengangkat dua orang untuk bertanggung jawab mengelola kota Yerusalem, yaitu Hanani saudara saya, dan Hananya, komandan benteng. Dia dapat dipercaya dan memiliki rasa hormat kepada Allah melebihi orang-orang lain.
3 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.
Saya memberi perintah, “Pintu gerbang Yerusalem hanya boleh dibuka ketika hari sudah siang, dan harus selalu ditutup serta dipalang ketika para penjaga masih bertugas. Tunjuklah orang-orang yang tinggal di kota Yerusalem sebagai penjaga, dan tugaskanlah beberapa dari mereka di pos-pos penjagaan dan di wilayah tempat tinggalnya masing-masing.”
4 And the city was very wide and great, and the people few in the midst thereof, and the houses were not built.
Kota Yerusalem sangat luas dan lapang, tetapi penduduknya saat itu masih sedikit dan rumah-rumah di dalamnya belum dibangun kembali.
5 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:
Lalu Allah memberi hikmat kepada saya untuk mengumpulkan para bangsawan, pemimpin, dan rakyat biasa untuk mencatat silsilah keluarga mereka masing-masing. Saya juga mendapati daftar nama dan silsilah rombongan pertama yang pulang dari pembuangan di Babel.
6 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.
