Nehemiah 7
1 When the wall was finished and I had set up the doors in place, and the gatekeepers and singers and Levites had been appointed,
Da Muren var bygget, lod jeg Portfløjene indsætte, og Dørvogterne, Sangerne og Leviterne blev ansat.
2 I gave my brother Hanani charge over Jerusalem, along with Hananiah who had oversight of the fortress, for he was a faithful man and feared God more than many.
Overbefalingen over Jerusalem gav jeg min Broder Hanani og Borgøversten Hananja; thi han var en pålidelig Mand og frygtede Gud som få;
3 I said to them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot. While the gatekeepers are on guard, you may shut the doors and bar them. Appoint guards from those who live in Jerusalem, some at the place of their guard station, and some in front of their own homes.”
og jeg sagde til dem: "Jerusalems Porte må ikke åbnes, før Solen står højt på Himmelen; og medens den endnu står der, skal man lukke og stænge Portene og sætte Jerusalems Indbyggere på Vagt, hver på sin Post, hver ud for sit Hus!"
4 Now the city was wide and large, but there were few people within it, and no houses had yet been rebuilt.
Men Byen var udstrakt og stor og dens Indbygere få, og Husene var endnu ikke opbygget.
5 My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, the officials, and the people to enroll them by their families. I found the book of the genealogy of those who returned at the first and found the following written in it.
Da skød min Gud mig i Sinde at samle de store, Forstanderne og Folket for at indføre dem i Slægtsfortegnelser. Og da fandt jeg Slægtebogen over dem, der først var draget op, og i den fandt jeg skrevet:
6 “These are the people of the province who went up out of the captivity of those exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon took into exile. They returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, each to his city.
Følgende er de Folk fra vor Landsdel, der drog op fra Land flygtigheden og Fangenskabet. Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel havde ført dem bort, men nu vendte de til bage til Jerusalem og Juda, hver til sin By;

61 These were the people who went up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Kerub, Addon, and Immer. But they could not prove that they or their ancestors' families were descendants from Israel:
Følgende, som drog op fra Tel-Mela, Tel-Harsja, Kerub-Addon og Immer, kunde ikke opgive, hvorvidt deres Fædrenehuse og Slægt hørte til Israeliterne:

64 These sought their records among those enrolled by their genealogy, but they could not be found, so they were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
De ledte efter deres Slægtebøger, men kunde ikke finde dem; derfor blev de som urene udelukket fra Præstestanden.
65 Then the governor said to them that they should not be allowed to eat the priests' share of food from the sacrifices until there rose up a priest with Urim and Thummim.
Statholderen forbød dem at spise af det højhellige, indtil der fremstod en Præst med Urim og Tummim.
66 The whole assembly together was 42,360,
Hele Menigheden udgjorde 42360
67 besides their male servants and their female servants, of whom there were 7,337. They had 245 singing men and women.
