नहेम्या 7
1 १ तेव्हा तटबंदीचे काम पुरे झाले मग आम्ही वेशीवर दरवाजे बसवले. आणि द्वारपाल व गायक आणि लेवी यांची नेमणूक करण्यात आली.
And it came to pass, when the wall was built, that I set up the doors; and then were appointed the gatekeepers and the singers and the [other] Levites [to their office].
2 २ यानंतर माझा भाऊ हनानी याला मी यरूशलेमचा अधिकार सोपवला. हनन्या नावाच्या दुसऱ्या एकाला गढीचा मुख्याधिकारी म्हणून निवडले. कारण तो अत्यंत प्रामाणिक होता आणि इतरांपेक्षा देवाबद्दल तो अधिक भय बाळगत असे.
And I gave my brother Chanani, and Chananyah the commander of the fortress, charge over Jerusalem; for he was esteemed a faithful man, and one that feared God these many days.
3 ३ आणि मी त्यांना म्हणालो, “सूर्य तापल्याशिवाय वेशीचे दरवाजे उघडू नयेत. द्वारपाल पहारा देत असताना, दरवाजे लावून त्यांना अडसर घाला. यरूशलेमामध्ये राहणाऱ्यांमधून पहारेकऱ्यांची निवड करा, त्यापैकी काहीजणांना नगराच्या रक्षणासाठी मोक्याच्या जागी ठेवा. आणि इतरांना आपापल्या घराजवळ पहारा करु द्या.”
And I said unto them, The gates of Jerusalem must not be opened until the sun be hot; and while ye stand by, let them shut the doors, and do ye bar them; and station watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one opposite to his house.
4 ४ आता नगर चांगले विस्तीर्ण आणि मोकळे होते. पण वस्ती अगदी कमी होती आणि घरे अजून पुन्हा बांधून काढली गेली नव्हती.
But the city was roomy in space and large: while the people therein were few, and the houses were not yet built.
5 ५ माझ्या देवाने सरदार, अधिकारी आणि लोक यांची वंशावळीप्रमाणे गणती करावी म्हणून एकत्र जमावे असे देवाने माझ्या मनात घातले. जे पहिल्याने वर आले त्यांच्या वंशावळयांची नावनिशी मला सापडली, आणि त्यामध्ये जे लिहिले होते ते हे.
Then did my God put it into my heart, and I assembled together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might give in their genealogy; and I found a register of the genealogy of those who were come up at the first, and I found written therein:
6 ६ बंदिवासातून परत आलेले या प्रांतातले लोक असे. बाबेलचा राजा नबुखद्नेस्सर याने या लोकांस बाबेलला कैद करून नेले होते. हे लोक यरूशलेम आणि यहूदा येथे परतले. जो तो आपापल्या गावी गेला.
These arc the children of the province, that came up out of the captivity of the exiles, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried into exile, and who returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his own city;

61 ६१ तेल-मेलह, तेल-हर्षा, करुब, अद्दोन व इम्मेर या गावांमधून काही लोक यरूशलेमेला आले होते पण आपली घराणी मूळ इस्राएलामधलीच आहेत हे त्यांना सिद्ध करून सांगता येत नव्हते. ते लोक असेः
And these were they who came up from Thel-melach, Thelcharsha, Kerub, Addon, and Immer, but they could not tell their family division and their descent, whether they were of Israel.
The children of Delayah, the children of Tobiyah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred forty and two.
63 ६३ आणि याजकांपैकीः हबाया, हक्कोस, बर्जिल्ल्या (गिलादाच्या बर्जिल्याच्या कन्येशी लग्र करणाऱ्याची गणाना बर्जिल्ल्याच्या वंशजात होई).
And of the priests: The children of Chobayah, the children of Hakkoz, the children of Barzillai who had taken a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gil'adite, and was called after their name.
64 ६४ काही असे होते की त्यांना आपल्या वंशावळीचा इतिहास शोधूनही सापडला नाही. म्हणून ते अशुद्ध ठरून त्यास याजकांच्या यादीतून काढून टाकले.
These sought for their family register, but it was not found: wherefore they were excluded, as unfit, from the priesthood.
65 ६५ अत्यंत पवित्र अन्न या लोकांनी खाऊ नये अशी राज्यपालाने त्यांना आज्ञा दिली. ऊरीम व थुम्मीम घातलेल्या मुख्य याजकाने याबाबतीत देवाची अनुज्ञा घेईपर्यंत या अन्नातले काही खायचे नव्हते.
And the Thirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there should stand up a priest with the Urim and Thummim.
The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and sixty:
67 ६७ यामध्ये त्यांच्या सात हजार तीनशे सदतीस स्त्री-पुरुष सेवक व दोनशे पंचेचाळीस गायक व गायिका होत्या.
Besides these were their man-servants and their maid-servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven: and they had two hundred and forty and five singing men and singing women.
Their horses were seven hundred thirty and six; their mules, two hundred forty and five;
[Their] camels, four hundred thirty and five: [their] asses, six thousand seven hundred and twenty.
70 ७० घराण्यांच्या काही प्रमुखांनी या कामाला मदत म्हणून दान दिले. राज्यपालाने एक हजार दारिक सोने, पन्नास वाट्या, याजकांसाठी पाचशे तीस वस्त्रे दिली.
And a portion of the chiefs of the divisions gave unto the work. The Thirshatha gave to the treasure, of gold one thousand drachms, fifty bowls, five hundred and thirty coats for the priests.
71 ७१ काही घराण्याच्या प्रमुखांनी कामाला सहाय्य म्हणून भांडाराला वीस हजार दारिक सोने आणि दोन हजार दोनशे माने रुपे देखील दिले.
And some of the chiefs of the divisions gave to the treasury of the work, of gold twenty thousand drachms, and of silver two thousand and two hundred manehs.

And what the rest of the people gave was, of gold twenty thousand drachms, and of silver two thousand manehs, and priests coats sixty and seven.
73 ७३ अशाप्रकारे याजक, लेवीच्या घराण्यातील लोक, द्वारपाल, गायक आणि मंदिरातील सेवेकरी आपापल्या गावी स्थिरावले. इतर इस्राएल लोकही आपापल्या गावी स्थायिक झाले. आणि सातव्या महिन्यापर्यंत सर्व इस्राएल लोक स्वत: च्या गावांमध्ये स्थिरस्थावर झाले.
So the priests, and the Levites, and the gatekeepers, and the singers, and some of the people, and the temple-servants, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities: and so came round the seventh month, while the children of Israel were in their cities.
