Nehemia 7
1 Nawai a kua oti te taiepa te hanga, kua whakaturia nga tatau, kua whakaritea ano nga kaitiaki kuwaha, nga kaiwaiata, me nga Riwaiti.
After the wall had been finished and we had put the gates in their places, we assigned to the temple guards and to the members of the [sacred] choir and the other descendants of Levi the work that they were to do.
2 Na ka tukua e ahau nga tikanga mo Hiruharama ki toku teina, ki a Hanani raua ko Hanania rangatira o te whare rangatira: he tangata pono hoki ia, a nui atu i to te tokomaha tona wehi ki te Atua.
I appointed two men to [help me to] govern Jerusalem, my brother Hanani and Hananiah who was the commander of the fortress [in Jerusalem]. Hananiah always did his work reliably, and he revered God more than most other people do.
3 I ki atu ahau ki a raua, Kaua e whakatuwheratia nga kuwaha o Hiruharama, kia mahana ra ano te ra; i a raua e tu ana, e tiaki ana, me tutaki e raua nga tatau, ka whakau hoki. Me whakatu ano he kaitiaki i roto i nga tangata o Hiruharama, ki tana wa hi e tiaki ai, ki te ritenga o tona whare, o tona whare.
I said to them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until late each morning. And close the gates and put the bars across the doors [(late in each afternoon/before sunset)] while the gatekeepers are still guarding the gates.” I also told them to appoint some people who lived in Jerusalem to be guards [on the wall], and to assign some of them to be guards at certain other places and to assign others to guard the area close to their own houses.
4 Na he wharahi, he nui te pa, he torutoru ia nga tangata o roto; kahore hoki nga whare kia hanga.
The city [of Jerusalem] covered a large area, but [at that time] not many people lived in the city, and they had not built many new houses yet [HYP].
5 Na ka homai e toku Atua ki roto ki toku ngakau kia huihuia nga rangatira, me nga tangata rarahi, me te iwi, kia whakapapa ai ratou. I kitea hoki e ahau te pukapuka whakapapa o te hunga i haere mai i te timatanga; i kitea ano kua tuhituhia ki roto,
[To defend the city, we needed more people there.] Then God gave me the idea to summon the leaders and officials and [other] people, and to look in the books [in which were written the names] of all the people and their clans. So I found the records of the people who had first returned from Babylonia. This is what I found written in those records:
6 Ko nga tama enei o te kawanatanga i haere mai i te whakarau, no te hunga i whakahekea, no era i whakahekea atu e Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona, a hoki ana ki Hiruharama, ki Hura; ki tona pa, ki tona pa;
(This is a list/Here are the names) of the people who returned to Jerusalem and to other places in Judea. They had been living in Babylonia since King Nebuchadnezzar’s army had captured their relatives/ancestors and took them to Babylonia. But they had returned to Judea and were living in the towns [where their ancestors had lived].
7 I haere mai ratou ko Herupapera, ko Hehua, ko Nehemia, ko Ataria, ko Raamia, ko Nahamani, ko Mororekai, ko Pirihana, ko Mihiperete, ko Pikiwai, ko Nehumu, ko Paana. Ko te tokomaha tenei o nga tangata o te iwi o Iharaira:

Another group of 642 people from the clans of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda also returned. They came from the towns of Tel-Melah, Tel-Harsha, Kerub, Addan ([which is also known as Addon]), and Immer [in Babylonia]. But they could not prove that they were descendants of Israelis.

Priests from the clans of Hobaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai also returned. Barzillai had married a woman who is a descendant of [a man named] Barzillai from [the] Gilead [region], and he had taken his wife’s family name.
64 I rapua e enei te whakapapa o o ratou tupuna i roto i te hunga kua oti te whakapapa; heoi kihai i kitea: na reira i kiia ai ratou he poke, i mutu ake ai to ratou tohungatanga.
They searched in the records that contained the names of people’s ancestors, but they could not find the names of those clans, so they were not allowed to have the rights and duties that priests have right away.
65 Na ka mea te kawana ki a ratou, kia kaua ratou e kai i nga mea tapu rawa, kia ara ake ra ano tetahi tohunga, kei a ia nga Urimi me nga Tumime.
The governor told them that before they could eat the food offered as sacrifices, a priest should use the marked stones [to find out what God said about their being priests].
66 Ko te whakaminenga katoa, ki te huihuia, e wha tekau ma rua mano, e toru rau e ono tekau,
Altogether, there were 42,360 people who returned to Judea.
67 Haunga a ratou pononga tane, a ratou pononga wahine, e whitu mano o enei e toru rau e toru tekau ma whitu: i a ratou ano he kaiwaiata, he tane, he wahine, e rua rau e wha tekau ma rima.
There were also 7,337 of their servants, and 245 singers, which included men and women.
68 Ko o ratou hoiho, e whitu rau e toru tekau ma ono: ko o ratou muera, e rua rau e wha tekau ma rima.
The Israelis also brought back [from Babylonia] 736 horses, 245 mules,
69 E wha rau e toru tekau ma rima nga kamera: ko nga kaihe, e ono mano e whitu rau e rua tekau.
435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
70 Na i homai ano e etahi o nga ariki o nga whare o nga matua he mea mo te mahi. Ta te kawana i homai ai ki roto ki nga taonga, kotahi mano tarami koura, e rima tekau peihana, e rima rau e toru tekau kakahu tohunga.
Some of the leaders of the clans gave gifts for the work [of rebuilding the temple]. I, being the governor, gave (17 pounds/8.6 kg.) of gold, 50 bowls [to be used in the temple], and 530 robes for the priests.
71 I homai ano e etahi o nga ariki o nga whare o nga matua ki roto ki nga taonga mo te mahi e rua tekau mano tarami koura, e rua mano e rua rau pauna hiriwa.
Some of the leaders of the clans gave a total of (337 pounds/153 kg.) of gold, and (3,215 pounds/1,460 kg.) of silver.
72 Na, ko nga mea i homai e te nuinga o te iwi, e rua tekau mano tarami koura, e rua mano pauna hiriwa, e ono tekau ma whitu kakahu tohunga.
The rest of the people gave a total of (337 pounds/153 kg.) of gold, (2,923 pounds/1,330 kg.) of silver, and 67 robes for the priests.
73 Heoi noho ana nga tohunga i o ratou pa, me nga Riwaiti ano, ratou ko nga kaitiaki kuwaha, ko nga kaiwaiata, ko etahi o te iwi, ko nga Netinimi, ko Iharaira katoa. A, i te takanga mai o te whitu o nga marama, e noho ana nga tama a Iharaira i o ra tou pa.
So the priests, the [other] descendants of Levi [who helped the priests], the temple guards, the musicians, the temple workers, and many ordinary people, who were all Israelis, started to live in the towns and cities of Judea [where their ancestors had lived].
