Nehemiæ 7
1 postquam autem aedificatus est murus et posui valvas et recensui ianitores et cantores et Levitas
When the wall was finished and I had set up the doors in place, and the gatekeepers and singers and Levites had been appointed,
2 praecepi Aneni fratri meo et Ananiae principi domus de Hierusalem ipse enim quasi vir verax et timens Deum plus ceteris videbatur
I gave my brother Hanani charge over Jerusalem, along with Hananiah who had oversight of the fortress, for he was a faithful man and feared God more than many.
3 et dixi eis non aperiantur portae Hierusalem usque ad calorem solis cumque adhuc adsisterent clausae portae sunt et oppilatae et posui custodes de habitatoribus Hierusalem singulos per vices suas et unumquemque contra domum suam
I said to them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot. While the gatekeepers are on guard, you may shut the doors and bar them. Appoint guards from those who live in Jerusalem, some at the place of their guard station, and some in front of their own homes.”
4 civitas autem erat lata nimis et grandis et populus parvus in medio eius et non erant domus aedificatae
Now the city was wide and large, but there were few people within it, and no houses had yet been rebuilt.
5 dedit autem Deus in corde meo et congregavi optimates et magistratus et vulgum 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, the officials, and the people to enroll them by their families. I found the book of the genealogy of those who returned at the first and found the following written in it.
6 isti filii provinciae qui ascenderunt de captivitate migrantium quos transtulerat Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis et reversi sunt in Hierusalem et in Iudaeam unusquisque in civitatem suam
“These are the people of the province who went up out of the captivity of those exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon took into exile. They returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, each to his city.
