Nehemiæ 7
1 Postquam autem ædificatus est murus, et posui valvas, et recensui ianitores, et cantores, et Levitas:
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 præcepi Hanani fratri meo, et Hananiæ principi domus de Ierusalem (ipse enim quasi vir verax et timens Deum plus ceteris videbatur)
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 et dixi eis: Non aperiantur portæ Ierusalem usque ad calorem solis. Cumque adhuc assisterent, clausæ portæ sunt, et oppilatæ: et posui custodes de habitatoribus Ierusalem, singulos per vices suas, et unumquemque contra domum suam.
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 Civitas autem erat lata nimis et grandis, et populus parvus in medio eius, et non erant domus ædificatæ.
Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not built.
5 Deus autem dedit in corde meo, et congregavi optimates, et magistratus, et vulgus, ut recenserem eos: et inveni librum census eorum, qui ascenderant primum, et inventum est scriptum in eo.
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 Isti filii provinciæ, qui ascenderunt de captivitate migrantium, quos transtulerat Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, et reversi sunt in Ierusalem, et in Iudæam, unusquisque in civitatem suam.
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,
