Nehemia 7
1 Setelah benteng Yerusalem selesai dibangun dan pintu-pintu gerbangnya sudah dipasang, kami menunjuk sejumlah orang sebagai penjaga gerbang. Selain itu, ditetapkan juga orang-orang Lewi yang bertugas di rumah TUHAN untuk menjadi penyanyi, pemain musik, dan petugas-petugas lainnya.
Now when the wall was built and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
2 Kemudian saya mengangkat dua orang untuk bertanggung jawab mengelola kota Yerusalem, yaitu Hanani saudara saya, dan Hananya, komandan benteng. Dia dapat dipercaya dan memiliki rasa hormat kepada Allah melebihi orang-orang lain.
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.
3 Saya memberi perintah, “Pintu gerbang Yerusalem hanya boleh dibuka ketika hari sudah siang, dan harus selalu ditutup serta dipalang ketika para penjaga masih bertugas. Tunjuklah orang-orang yang tinggal di kota Yerusalem sebagai penjaga, dan tugaskanlah beberapa dari mereka di pos-pos penjagaan dan di wilayah tempat tinggalnya masing-masing.”
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.”
4 Kota Yerusalem sangat luas dan lapang, tetapi penduduknya saat itu masih sedikit dan rumah-rumah di dalamnya belum dibangun kembali.
Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not built.
5 Lalu Allah memberi hikmat kepada saya untuk mengumpulkan para bangsawan, pemimpin, dan rakyat biasa untuk mencatat silsilah keluarga mereka masing-masing. Saya juga mendapati daftar nama dan silsilah rombongan pertama yang pulang dari pembuangan di Babel.
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:
6 Berikut ini adalah daftar kelompok orang yang kembali dari pembuangan, yaitu mereka yang dahulu dibawa Raja Nebukadnezar ke Babel, tetapi sekarang sudah kembali ke tempat asal mereka di Yerusalem dan di kota-kota Yehuda.
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,

Mereka mengaku berasal dari kaum keluarga Delaya, Tobia, dan Nekoda. Namun, mereka tidak memiliki daftar silsilah keluarga sehingga tidak ada bukti bahwa mereka keturunan Israel.
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:
The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda: six hundred forty-two.
63 Para imam dari kaum keluarga Hobaya, Hakos, dan Barzilai juga kembali ke Yerusalem. Ketiga kaum tersebut tidak dapat membuktikan silsilah keluarga mereka sehingga tidak boleh melayani sebagai imam. (Barzilai mendapatkan namanya itu sesuai nama ayah mertuanya, karena dia menikah dengan anak perempuan orang Gilead yang bernama Barzilai.)
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.
These searched for their genealogical records, but couldn’t find them. Therefore they were deemed disqualified and removed from the priesthood.
