1 ೧ ಗೋಡೆಯನ್ನು ಕಟ್ಟಿ ಮುಗಿಸಿದ ನಂತರ ನಾನು ಬಾಗಿಲುಗಳನ್ನು ಇರಿಸಿದೆನು; ದ್ವಾರಪಾಲಕರನ್ನೂ, ಗಾಯಕರನ್ನೂ, ಲೇವಿಯರನ್ನೂ ನೇಮಿಸಲಾಯಿತು.

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.”
Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not built.
5 ೫ ಹೀಗಿರಲಾಗಿ ನಾನು ನನ್ನ ದೇವರ ಪ್ರೇರಣೆಯಿಂದ ಗಣ್ಯರನ್ನು, ಶ್ರೀಮಂತರನ್ನೂ, ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳನ್ನೂ, ಸಾಧಾರಣ ಜನರನ್ನೂ ಜನಗಣತಿಗಾಗಿ ಸಭೆಸೇರಿಸಿದನು. ಆಗ ಯೆರೂಸಲೇಮಿಗೆ ಮೊದಲು ಬಂದವರ ಹೆಸರುಗಳ ಪಟ್ಟಿಯು ನನಗೆ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿತು. ಅದರಲ್ಲಿ ಬರೆದಿದ್ದೇನೆಂದರೆ,
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 ೬ ಬಾಬಿಲೋನಿನ ಅರಸನಾದ ನೆಬೂಕದ್ನೆಚ್ಚರನಿಂದ ಸೆರೆಯಾಗಿ ಒಯ್ಯಲ್ಪಟ್ಟವರು ಹಿಂತಿರುಗಿ ತಮ್ಮ ಸ್ವದೇಶವಾದ ಯೆಹೂದ ಪ್ರಾಂತ್ಯದ ಸ್ವಂತ ಪಟ್ಟಣಗಳಿಗೂ, ಯೆರೂಸಲೇಮಿಗೂ ಹಿಂತಿರುಗಿದರು.

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.

The governor told them not to eat of the most holy things until a priest stood up to minister with Urim and Thummim.
The whole assembly together was forty-two thousand three hundred sixty,
