Nehemiah 7

När nu muren var uppbyggd, satte jag in dörrarna; och dörrvaktare, sångare och leviter blevo anställda.

Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed,

Och till befälhavare över Jerusalem satte jag min broder Hanani jämte Hananja, hövitsman i borgen, ty denne hölls för en pålitlig man och var gudfruktig mer än många andra.

That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.

Och jag sade till dem: »Jerusalems portar må icke öppnas, förrän solen är högt uppe; och medan vakten ännu står kvar, skall man stänga dörrarna och sätta bommarna för. Och I skolen ställa ut vakter av Jerusalems invånare, var och en på hans post, så att envar får stå framför sitt eget hus.»

And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be over against his house.

Och staden var vidsträckt och stor, men där fanns icke mycket folk, och husen voro icke uppbyggda.

Now the city was large and great: but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.

Och min Gud ingav mig i hjärtat att jag skulle församla ädlingarna, föreståndarna och folket för att upptecknas i släktregister. Då fann jag släktförteckningen över dem som först hade dragit upp, och jag fann däri så skrivet:

And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found written therein,

»Dessa voro de män från hövdingdömet, som drogo upp ur den landsflykt och fångenskap till vilken de hade blivit bortförda av Nebukadnessar, konungen i Babel, och som vände tillbaka till Jerusalem och till Juda, var och en till sin stad,
