Nehemiah 7
1 Once the wall had been rebuilt and I had put up the doors, I appointed the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites.
Setelah tembok itu selesai dibangun, aku menyuruh supaya daun-daun pintunya dipasang. Lalu penjaga-penjaga pintu gerbang, para penyanyi dan orang-orang Lewi kusuruh melakukan tugasnya masing-masing.
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.
Pemerintahan kota Yerusalem kuserahkan kepada saudaraku Hanani dan kepada Hananya, panglima benteng, karena dia lebih daripada orang lain, takut kepada Allah dan dapat dipercaya.
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.”
Kukatakan kepada mereka, "Pintu gerbang Yerusalem baru boleh dibuka kalau hari sudah siang dan harus sudah ditutup serta dipasang palangnya sebelum para penjaga lepas tugas sore hari. Selain itu harus ditunjuk piket penjagaan dari antara penduduk Yerusalem, sebagian untuk pos-pos penjagaan dan sebagian lagi untuk berpatroli di daerah sekeliling rumah mereka."
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.
Yerusalem kota yang luas tetapi hanya sedikit penduduknya, dan belum banyak rumah yang dibangun.
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.
Sebab itu Allah mengilhami aku untuk mengumpulkan rakyat dan para pemimpin serta pemukanya, supaya aku dapat menghitung mereka berdasarkan daftar silsilah mereka. Pada kesempatan itu telah kutemukan catatan tentang orang-orang yang pertama-tama kembali dari pembuangan. Berikut ini adalah keterangan yang kuperoleh dari catatan itu:
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.
Banyak di antara orang-orang buangan meninggalkan provinsi Babel dan kembali ke Yerusalem dan Yehuda, masing-masing ke kotanya sendiri. Mereka telah lama hidup dalam pembuangan di Babel, sejak mereka diangkut ke sana sebagai tawanan oleh Raja Nebukadnezar.
7 They were led by Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah. This is the number of men of the people of Israel:
Pemimpin-pemimpin mereka adalah Zerubabel, Yesua, Nehemia, Azarya, Raamya, Nahamani, Mordekhai, Bilsan, Misperet, Bigwai, Nehum dan Baana.

61 Those who came from the towns of Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Kerub, Addan, and Immer could not prove their family genealogy, or even that they were descendants of Israel.
Di antara orang-orang yang berangkat dari kota-kota Tel-Melah, Tel-Harsa, Kerub, Adon dan Imer, ada 642 orang yang termasuk kaum Delaya, Tobia dan Nekoda; tetapi mereka tidak dapat membuktikan bahwa mereka keturunan bangsa Israel.
62 They included the families of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda, 642 in total.
63 In addition there three priestly families, sons of Hobaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai. (Barzillai had married a woman descended from Barzillai of Gilead, and he was called by that name.)
Juga ada beberapa keluarga imam yang tidak dapat menemukan catatan mengenai leluhur mereka. Kaum-kaum itu adalah Habaya, Hakos dan Barzilai. (Seorang leluhur kaum imam Barziali kawin dengan wanita keturunan kaum Barzilai di Gilead dan kemudian ia memakai nama keluarga mertuanya.) Karena mereka tidak dapat membuktikan siapa leluhur mereka, maka mereka tidak diterima sebagai imam.
64 They searched for a record of them in the genealogies, but their names weren't found, so they were barred from serving as priests.
65 The governor instructed them not to eat anything from the sanctuary sacrifices until a priest could ask the Lord about the issue by using the Urim and Thummim.
Gubernur daerah Yehuda melarang mereka makan makanan yang dipersembahkan kepada Allah, sampai ada seorang imam yang dapat minta petunjuk dengan memakai Urim dan Tumim.
66 The total of number of people returning was 42,360.
Orang-orang buangan yang pulang ke negerinya seluruhnya berjumlah 42.360 orang. Selain itu pulang juga para pembantu mereka sejumlah 7.337 orang dan penyanyi sejumlah 245 orang. Mereka juga membawa binatang-binatang mereka, yaitu: Kuda-736, Bagal-245, Unta-435, Keledai-6.720.
67 In addition there were 7,337 servants and 245 male and female singers.
68 They had 736 horses, 245 mules,
69 435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
70 Some of the family leaders made voluntary contributions toward the work. The governor presented to the treasury 1,000 gold darics, 50 bowls and 530 sets of clothes for the priests.
Banyak di antara rakyat memberi sumbangan untuk meringankan biaya perbaikan Rumah TUHAN: dari gubernur: 8 kilogram emas, 50 mangkuk upacara, 530 jubah imam; dari para kepala kaum: 168 kilogram emas, 1.250 kilogram perak; dari orang-orang lain: 168 kilogram emas, 140 kilogram perak, 67 jubah imam.

73 The priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, and Temple servants, as well as some of the people and the rest of the Israelites, went back to live in their specific towns. By the seventh month the Israelites were living in their towns,
Para imam, orang-orang Lewi, para penjaga gerbang Rumah TUHAN, para penyanyi, banyak dari rakyat biasa, para pekerja di Rumah TUHAN, pendek kata seluruh rakyat Israel, menetap di kota-kota dan desa-desa di Yehuda.
