Nehemiah 7
1 After the wall had been finished and we had put the gates in their places, we assigned to the temple guards and to the members of the [sacred] choir and the other descendants of Levi the work that they were to do.
Då vi nu hade byggt murarna, hängde jag portarna före, och vordo beställde porthållare, sångare och Leviter.
2 I appointed two men to [help me to] govern Jerusalem, my brother Hanani and Hananiah who was the commander of the fortress [in Jerusalem]. Hananiah always did his work reliably, and he revered God more than most other people do.
Och jag böd min broder Hanani, och Hanania palatsfogdanom i Jerusalem; ty han var en trofast man, och gudfruktig för många andra;
3 I said to them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until late each morning. And close the gates and put the bars across the doors [(late in each afternoon/before sunset)] while the gatekeepers are still guarding the gates.” I also told them to appoint some people who lived in Jerusalem to be guards [on the wall], and to assign some of them to be guards at certain other places and to assign others to guard the area close to their own houses.
Och sade till dem: Man skall icke upplåta portarna i Jerusalem, tilldess solen varder varm; och medan man ännu arbetar, skall man slå portarna till, och bommen före. Och vaktare vordo beställde utaf borgarena i Jerusalem, hvar och en på sine vakt, och om sitt hus.
4 The city [of Jerusalem] covered a large area, but [at that time] not many people lived in the city, and they had not built many new houses yet [HYP].
Och staden var vid till rum, och stor; men folket litet derinne, och husen voro icke uppbyggd.
5 [To defend the city, we needed more people there.] Then God gave me the idea to summon the leaders and officials and [other] people, and to look in the books [in which were written the names] of all the people and their clans. So I found the records of the people who had first returned from Babylonia. This is what I found written in those records:
Och min Gud gaf mig i hjertat, att jag församlade rådherrarna och öfverstarna, och folket, till att räkna dem; och jag fann ett register på mantalet, deras som tillförene uppkomne voro, och fann deruti så skrifvet:
6 (This is a list/Here are the names) of the people who returned to Jerusalem and to other places in Judea. They had been living in Babylonia since King Nebuchadnezzar’s army had captured their relatives/ancestors and took them to Babylonia. But they had returned to Judea and were living in the towns [where their ancestors had lived].
Desse äro landsens barn, som uppkomne voro utaf fängelset, af dem som NebucadNezar, Konungen i Babel, hade bortfört, och i Jerusalem bodde, och i Juda, hvar och en i sin stad;
7 Their leaders were Zerubbabel, Joshua, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah, and me. This is a list of the number of men in each clan who returned:

61 Another group of 642 people from the clans of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda also returned. They came from the towns of Tel-Melah, Tel-Harsha, Kerub, Addan ([which is also known as Addon]), and Immer [in Babylonia]. But they could not prove that they were descendants of Israelis.
Desse drogo också med upp, af ThelMelah, ThelHarsa, Cherub, Addon och Immer; men de kunde icke bevisa deras fäders hus, eller deras säd, om de voro af Israel.

63 Priests from the clans of Hobaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai also returned. Barzillai had married a woman who is a descendant of [a man named] Barzillai from [the] Gilead [region], and he had taken his wife’s family name.
Och af Presterna: Habaja barn, Hakkoz barn, Barsillai barn, hvilken hustru tog af Barsillai den Gileaditens döttrar, och vardt efter deras namn nämnd.
64 They searched in the records that contained the names of people’s ancestors, but they could not find the names of those clans, so they were not allowed to have the rights and duties that priests have right away.
Desse sökte deras börds register; och då de icke funno det, vordo de qvitte vid Presterskapet.
65 The governor told them that before they could eat the food offered as sacrifices, a priest should use the marked stones [to find out what God said about their being priests].
Och Thirsatha sade till dem, att de icke skulle äta utaf det aldrahelgaste, intilldess en Prest uppkomme med Ljus och Fullkomlighet.
66 Altogether, there were 42,360 people who returned to Judea.
Hela menigheten, såsom en man, var tu och fyratio tusend trehundrad och sextio;
67 There were also 7,337 of their servants, and 245 singers, which included men and women.
Undantagne deras tjenare och tjenarinnor, de voro sjutusend trehundrad sju och tretio; och de hade tuhundrad fem och fyratio sångare och sångerskor;
68 The Israelis also brought back [from Babylonia] 736 horses, 245 mules,
Sjuhundrad sex och tretio hästar; tuhundrad fem och fyratio mular;
69 435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
Fyrahundrad fem och tretio camelar; sextusend sjuhundrad och tjugu åsnar.
70 Some of the leaders of the clans gave gifts for the work [of rebuilding the temple]. I, being the governor, gave (17 pounds/8.6 kg.) of gold, 50 bowls [to be used in the temple], and 530 robes for the priests.
Och somlige af öfversta fäderna gåfvo till verket: Thirsatha gaf till drätselen tusende gylden, och femtio bäcken, femhundrad och tretio Prestakjortlar.
71 Some of the leaders of the clans gave a total of (337 pounds/153 kg.) of gold, and (3,215 pounds/1,460 kg.) of silver.
Och somlige af de öfversta fäder gåfvo i drätselen till verket tjugutusend gylden, tutusend och tuhundrad pund silfver.
72 The rest of the people gave a total of (337 pounds/153 kg.) of gold, (2,923 pounds/1,330 kg.) of silver, and 67 robes for the priests.
Och det andra folket gaf tjugutusend gylden, och tutusend pund silfver, och sju och sextio Prestakjortlar.
73 So the priests, the [other] descendants of Levi [who helped the priests], the temple guards, the musicians, the temple workers, and many ordinary people, who were all Israelis, started to live in the towns and cities of Judea [where their ancestors had lived].
Och Presterna, och Leviterna, och dörravaktarena, sångare, och somlige af folket, och de Nethinim, och hele Israel, satte sig uti sina städer.
