Nehemiæ 7

1 Postquam autem aedificatus est murus, et posui valvas, et recensui ianitores, et cantores, et Levitas:

And it comes to pass, when the wall has been built, that I set up the doors, and the gatekeepers are appointed, and the singers, and the Levites,

2 praecepi Hanani fratri meo, et Hananiae principi domus de Ierusalem (ipse enim quasi vir verax et timens Deum plus ceteris videbatur)

and I charge my brother Hanani, and Hananiah head of the palace, concerning Jerusalem—for he [is] as a man of truth, and fearing God above many—

3 et dixi eis: Non aperiantur portae Ierusalem usque ad calorem solis. Cumque adhuc assisterent, clausae portae sunt, et oppilatae: et posui custodes de habitatoribus Ierusalem, singulos per vices suas, et unumquemque contra domum suam.

and I say to them, “Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the heat of the sun, and while they are standing by let them shut the doors, and fasten, and appoint guards of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each at his watch, and each in front of his house.”

4 Civitas autem erat lata nimis et grandis, et populus parvus in medio eius, et non erant domus aedificatae.

And the city [is] broad on both sides, and great, and the people [are] few in its midst, and there are no houses 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.

and my God puts it to my heart, and I gather the nobles, and the prefects, and the people, for the genealogy, and I find a scroll of the genealogy of those coming up at the beginning, and I find written in it:

6 Isti filii provinciae, qui ascenderunt de captivitate migrantium, quos transtulerat Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, et reversi sunt in Ierusalem, et in Iudaeam, unusquisque in civitatem suam.

These [are] sons of the province, those coming up of the captives of the expulsion that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed—and they return to Jerusalem and to Judah, each to his city—
