ネヘミヤ 記 7
1 石垣を築き扉を設け門を守る者謳歌者およびレビ人を立るにおよびて
Once the wall had been rebuilt and I had put up the doors, I appointed the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites.
2 我わが兄弟ハナニおよび城の宰ハナニヤをしてヱルサレムを治めしむ彼は忠信なる人にして衆多の者に超りて神を畏るる者なり
I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, together with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, because he was an honest man who respected God more than many others.
3 我かれらに言ふ日の熱くなるまではヱルサレムの門を啓くべからず人々の立て守りをる間に門を閉させて汝らこれを堅うせよ汝らヱルサレムの民を番兵に立て各々にその所を守らしめ各々にその家と相對ふ處を守らしめよと
I told them, “Don't allow the gates of Jerusalem to be opened until the sun is hot, and make sure the guards shut and bolt the doors while they're still on duty. Appoint some of the residents of Jerusalem as guards, to be at their posts, standing in front of their own houses.”
4 邑は廣くして大なりしかどもその内の民は寡くして家は未だ建ざりき
In those times the city was large with plenty of space, but there weren't many people in it, and the houses hadn't been rebuilt.
5 我神はわが心に貴き人々牧伯等および民を集めてその名簿をしらぶる思念を起さしめたまへり我最先に上り來りし者等の系圖の書を得て見にその中に書しるして曰く
My God encouraged me to have everyone—the nobles, the officials, and the people—all come to be registered according to their family genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had returned first. This what I discovered written there.
6 往昔バビロンの王ネブカデネザルに擄へられバビロンに遷されたる者のうち俘囚をゆるされてヱルサレムおよびユダに上りおのおの己の邑に歸りし此州の者は左の如し 是皆ゼルバベル、ヱシユア、ネヘミヤ、アザリヤ、ラアミヤ、ナハマニ、モルデカイ、ビルシヤン、ミスペレテ、ビグワイ、ネホム、バアナ等に隨ひ來れり
This is a list of the people of the province who returned from the captivity. These were the exiles who had been taken away to Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzar. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, to their home towns.
