Nehemia 7
1 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.
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.
2 Pemerintahan kota Yerusalem kuserahkan kepada saudaraku Hanani dan kepada Hananya, panglima benteng, karena dia lebih daripada orang lain, takut kepada Allah dan dapat dipercaya.
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.
3 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."
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.
4 Yerusalem kota yang luas tetapi hanya sedikit penduduknya, dan belum banyak rumah yang dibangun.
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].
5 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:
[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:
6 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.
(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].
7 Pemimpin-pemimpin mereka adalah Zerubabel, Yesua, Nehemia, Azarya, Raamya, Nahamani, Mordekhai, Bilsan, Misperet, Bigwai, Nehum dan Baana.
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:

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.
63 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.
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.
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.
65 Gubernur daerah Yehuda melarang mereka makan makanan yang dipersembahkan kepada Allah, sampai ada seorang imam yang dapat minta petunjuk dengan memakai Urim dan Tumim.
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].
66 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.

435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
