नहेम्या 7
1 १ तेव्हा तटबंदीचे काम पुरे झाले मग आम्ही वेशीवर दरवाजे बसवले. आणि द्वारपाल व गायक आणि लेवी यांची नेमणूक करण्यात आली.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 ४ आता नगर चांगले विस्तीर्ण आणि मोकळे होते. पण वस्ती अगदी कमी होती आणि घरे अजून पुन्हा बांधून काढली गेली नव्हती.
Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not 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.
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 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 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,

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
These were those who went up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer; but they could not show their fathers’ houses, nor their offspring, whether they were of Israel:
The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda: six hundred and forty-two.
63 ६३ आणि याजकांपैकीः हबाया, हक्कोस, बर्जिल्ल्या (गिलादाच्या बर्जिल्याच्या कन्येशी लग्र करणाऱ्याची गणाना बर्जिल्ल्याच्या वंशजात होई).
Of the priests: the children of Hobaiah, the children of Hakkoz, the children of Barzillai, who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, 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 searched for their genealogical records, but couldn’t find them. Therefore they were deemed disqualified and removed 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.
The governor told them not to eat of the most holy things until a priest stood up to minister with Urim and Thummim.
The whole assembly together was forty-two thousand and three hundred and sixty,
67 ६७ यामध्ये त्यांच्या सात हजार तीनशे सदतीस स्त्री-पुरुष सेवक व दोनशे पंचेचाळीस गायक व गायिका होत्या.
in addition to their male servants and their female servants, of whom there were seven thousand and three hundred and thirty-seven. They had two hundred and forty-five singing men and singing women.
Their horses were seven hundred and thirty-six; their mules, two hundred and forty-five;
their camels, four hundred and thirty-five; their donkeys, six thousand and 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.
Some from amongst the heads of fathers’ households gave to the work. The governor gave to the treasury one thousand darics of gold, fifty basins, and five hundred and thirty priests’ garments.
71 ७१ काही घराण्याच्या प्रमुखांनी कामाला सहाय्य म्हणून भांडाराला वीस हजार दारिक सोने आणि दोन हजार दोनशे माने रुपे देखील दिले.
Some of the heads of fathers’ households gave into the treasury of the work twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand and two hundred minas of silver.
72 ७२ इतर सर्व लोकांनी मिळून वीस हजार दारिक सोने, दोन हजार माने रुपे आणि याजकांसाठी सदुसष्ट वस्त्रे दिली.
That which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand darics of gold, plus two thousand minas of silver, and sixty-seven priests’ garments.
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, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the temple servants, and all Israel lived in their cities. When the seventh month had come, the children of Israel were in their cities.
