Nehemiah 7
1 Once the wall had been rebuilt and I had put up the doors, I appointed the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites.
當城垣修好之後，我安了門扇，遂委派了守門者、歌詠者和肋未人。
2 I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, together with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, because he was an honest man who respected God more than many others.
以後，我委派了我的兄弟哈納尼，和堡壘長哈納尼雅，管理耶路撒冷，因為哈納尼雅是一個可信賴、敬畏天主出眾的人。
3 I told them, “Don't allow the gates of Jerusalem to be opened until the sun is hot, and make sure the guards shut and bolt the doors while they're still on duty. Appoint some of the residents of Jerusalem as guards, to be at their posts, standing in front of their own houses.”
我命他們說：「耶路撒冷的門，不到太陽發暖不准開；太陽還未落時，就要關門上閂! 守衛當由耶路撒冷的居民中指派，各按自己的班次，各在自己的屋前守衛。」
4 In those times the city was large with plenty of space, but there weren't many people in it, and the houses hadn't been rebuilt.
那時城市寬闊廣大，但城中居民稀少，房舍還沒有建築。
5 My God encouraged me to have everyone—the nobles, the officials, and the people—all come to be registered according to their family genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had returned first. This what I discovered written there.
我的天主使我立意，召集有權勢的人、官長和民眾，要他們來登記。我發現了一冊初次由充軍歸來的人的族譜，上面有這樣的記載：
6 This is a list of the people of the province who returned from the captivity. These were the exiles who had been taken away to Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzar. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, to their home towns.
以下是由被擄充軍返回本省的子民的人中，當初被巴比倫王拿步高，擄往巴比倫去的人中，回了耶路撒冷和猶大，各本城的人。
