Nehemiah 7

1 Now when the wall was built and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed,

١ وَبَعْدَ أَنِ اكْتَمَلَ بِنَاءُ السُّورِ، وَأَقَمْتُ الْمَصَارِيعَ، وَتَمَّ تَعْيِينُ الْبَوَّابِينَ وَالْمُغَنِّينَ، وَاللّاوِيِّينَ،

2 I put my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the fortress, in charge of Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man and feared God above many.

٢ عَهِدْتُ بِتَدْبِيرِ شُؤُونِ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى أَخِي حَنَانِي، وَإِلَى حَنَنْيَا رَئِيسِ الْقَصْرِ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ رَجُلاً أَمِيناً يَتَّقِي اللهَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سِوَاهُ.

3 I said to them, “Don’t let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they stand guard, let them shut the doors, and you bar them; and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, everyone in his watch, with everyone near his house.”

٣ وَقُلْتُ لَهُمَا: «لا تَسْمَحَا بِفَتْحِ أَبْوَابِ أُورُشَلِيمَ قَبْلَ اشْتِدَادِ حَرَارَةِ الشَّمْسِ، وَلْيَتِمَّ إِغْلاقُ مَصَارِيعِهَا وَأَقْفَالِهَا، وَحُرَّاسُ الأَبْوَابِ مَازَالُوا يَقُومُونَ بِنَوْبَةِ حِرَاسَتِهِمْ». وَعَيَّنْتُ حُرَّاساً مِنْ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَقَفَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ مُقَابِلَ بَيْتِهِ.

4 Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not built.

٤ وَكَانَتِ الْمَدِينَةُ وَاسِعَةَ الأَرْجَاءِ وَعَظِيمَةً، وَلا يَقْطُنُهَا سِوَى شَعْبٍ قَلِيلٍ، لأَنَّ الْبُيُوتَ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ أُعِيدَ بِنَاؤُهَا.

5 My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be listed by genealogy. I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found this written in it:

٥ فَأَلْهَمَنِي إِلَهِي أَنْ أَجْمَعَ الأَشْرَافَ وَالْوُلاةَ وَالشَّعْبَ لِتَسْجِيلِ أَنْسَابِهِمْ حَسَبَ عَائِلاتِهِمْ، فَعَثَرْتُ عَلَى سِجِلِّ أَنْسَابِ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا أَوَّلاً مِنَ السَّبْيِ، وَوَجَدْتُ مُدَوَّناً فِيهِ:

6 These are the children of the province who went up out of the captivity of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, everyone to his city,

٦ هَؤُلاءِ هُمْ أَبْنَاءُ الْبِلادِ الَّذِينَ رَجَعُوا مِنْ سَبْيِ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَهُوذَا، كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مَدِينَتِهِ:

7 who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:

٥٩ وَشَفَطْيَا وَحَطِّيلَ وَفُوخَرَةِ الظِّبَاءِ وَآمُونَ.

60 All the temple servants and the children of Solomon’s servants were three hundred ninety-two.

٦٠ فَكَانَتْ جُمْلَةُ عَدَدِ الْعَائِدِينَ مِنْ بَنِي خُدَّامِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَرِجَالِ سُلَيْمَانَ ثَلاثَ مِئَةٍ وَاثْنَيْنِ وَتِسْعِينَ رَجُلاً.

61 These were those who went up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer; but they could not show their fathers’ houses, nor their offspring, whether they were of Israel:

٦١ وَهَذَا بَيَانٌ بِعَشَائِرِ الْعَائِدِينَ مِنْ تَلِّ مِلْحٍ وَتَلِّ حَرْشَا كَرُوبَ وَأَدُونَ وَإِمِّيرَ مِمَّنْ أَخْفَقُوا فِي إِثْبَاتِ انْتِمَاءِ بُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ وَنَسْلِهِمْ إِلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ:

62 The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda: six hundred forty-two.

٦٢ بَنُو دَلايَا وَطُوبِيَّا وَنَقُودَا: سِتُّ مِئَةٍ وَاثْنَانِ وَأَرْبَعُونَ.

63 Of the priests: the children of Hobaiah, the children of Hakkoz, the children of Barzillai, who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name.

٦٣ وَمِنَ الْكَهَنَةِ: بَنُو حَبَابَا وَهَقُّوصَ وَبَرْزِلّايَ الَّذِي تَزَوَّجَ مِنْ بَنَاتِ بَرْزِلّايَ الْجِلْعَادِيِّ وَانْتَسَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ.

64 These searched for their genealogical records, but couldn’t find them. Therefore they were deemed disqualified and removed from the priesthood.

٦٤ هَؤُلاءِ مُنِعُوا مِنْ مُمَارَسَةِ خِدْمَةِ الْكَهَنُوتِ، إِذْ لَمْ تُوْجَدْ أَنْسَابُهُمْ مُدَوَّنَةً فِي سِجِلاتِ الْكَهَنَةِ،

65 The governor told them not to eat of the most holy things until a priest stood up to minister with Urim and Thummim.

٦٥ لِذَلِكَ أَمَرَهُمُ الْحَاكِمُ أَلّا يَتَنَاوَلُوا مِنْ طَعَامِ الْكَهَنَةِ إِلَى أَنْ يَحْضُرَ كَاهِنٌ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَسْتَخْدِمَ الأُورِيمَ وَالتُّمِّيمَ (لِيَفْصِلَ فِي الأَمْرِ).

66 The whole assembly together was forty-two thousand three hundred sixty,

٦٦ فَكَانَتْ جُمْلَةُ الْعَائِدِينَ مِنَ السَّبْيِ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفاً وَثَلاثَ مِئَةٍ وَسِتِّينَ رَجُلاً،

67 in addition to their male servants and their female servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty-seven. They had two hundred forty-five singing men and singing women.

٦٧ فَضْلاً عَنْ عَبِيدِهِمْ وَإِمَائِهِمْ الَّذِينَ بَلَغَ مَجْمُوعُهُمْ سَبْعَةَ آلافٍ وَثَلاثَ مِئَةٍ وَسَبْعَةً وَثَلاثِينَ. أَمَّا الْمُغَنُّونَ وَالْمُغَنِّيَاتُ فَكَانُوا مِئَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ.

68 Their horses were seven hundred thirty-six; their mules, two hundred forty-five;

٦٨ وَكَانَ مَعَهُمْ مِنَ الْخَيْلِ سَبْعُ مِئَةٍ وَسِتَّةٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ، وَمِنَ الْبِغَالِ مِئَتَانِ وَخَمْسَةٌ وَأَرْبَعُونَ.

69 their camels, four hundred thirty-five; their donkeys, six thousand seven hundred twenty.

٦٩ وَمِنَ الْجِمَالِ أَرْبَعُ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسَةٌ وَثَلاثُونَ، وَمِنَ الْحَمِيرِ سِتَّةُ آلافٍ وَسَبْعُ مِئَةٍ وَعِشْرُونَ.

70 Some from among the heads of fathers’ households gave to the work. The governor gave to the treasury one thousand darics of gold, fifty basins, and five hundred thirty priests’ garments.

٧٠ وَتَبَرَّعَ بَعْضُ الرُّؤَسَاءِ بِأَمْوَالٍ لِلْعَمَلِ فِي بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، فَتَبَرَّعَ الْحَاكِمُ لِلْخَزِينَةِ بِأَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَخَمْسِينَ مِنْضَحَةً وَخَمْسِ مِئَةٍ وَثَلاثِينَ قَمِيصاً لِلْكَهَنَةِ.

71 Some of the heads of fathers’ households gave into the treasury of the work twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand two hundred minas of silver.

٧١ وَقَدَّمَ بَعْضُ رُؤَسَاءِ الْعَائِلاتِ لِخَزِينَةِ الْعَمَلِ رِبْوَتَيْنِ (نَحْوَ مِئَةٍ وَسَبْعِينَ كِيلُو جِرَاماً) مِنَ الذَّهَبِ، وَأَلْفَيْنِ وَمِئَتَيْ مَناً (نَحْوَ طُنٍّ وَثُلْثِ الطُّنِّ) مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ.

72 That which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand darics of gold, plus two thousand minas of silver, and sixty-seven priests’ garments.

٧٢ وَأَمَّا مَا قَدَّمَهُ بَقِيَّةُ الشَّعْبِ فَكَانَ سِتَّ رِبْوَاتٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسِ مِئَةٍ وَعَشْرِ كِيلُو جِرَاماً) مِنَ الذَّهَبِ، وَأَلْفَيْ مَناً (نَحْوَ طُنٍّ وَرُبْعِ الطُّنِّ) مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ وَسَبْعَةً وَسِتِّينَ قَمِيصاً لِلْكَهَنَةِ.

73 So the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the temple servants, and all Israel lived in their cities. When the seventh month had come, the children of Israel were in their cities.

٧٣ وَسَكَنَ الْكَهَنَةُ وَاللّاوِيُّونَ وَحَرَسُ الأَبْوَابِ وَالْمُغَنُّونَ وَبَعْضُ الشَّعْبِ وَخُدَّامُ الْهَيْكَلِ وَسَائِرُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي مُدُنِهِمْ. وَمَا إِنْ أَهَلَّ الشَّهْرُ السَّابِعُ (سِبْتَمْبَر – أَيْلُولُ) حَتَّى كَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدِ اسْتَقَرُّوا فِي مُدُنِهِمْ.
