1 And it came to pass when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, that the doorkeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed.

2 And I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the citadel, charge over Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man and feared God above many.

3 And I said to them that the gates of Jerusalem should not be opened until the sun was hot, and that they should shut the doors and bar them while they stood by; and that there should be appointed watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one over against his house.

4 Now the city was large and great; but the people in it were few, and no houses were built.

5 And my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, for registration by genealogy. And I found a genealogical register of those that had come up at the first, and I found written in it:

6 These are the children of the province that went up out of the captivity of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one to his city;

7 those who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:

60 All the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon's servants, three hundred and ninety-two.

61 And these are they that went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub-Addon and Immer; but they could not shew their father's house, nor their seed, whether they were of Israel.

62 The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobijah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred and forty-two.

63 And of the priests: the children of Hobaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai, who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called after their name.

64 These sought their genealogical register, but it was not found; therefore were they, as polluted, removed from the priesthood.

65 And the Tirshatha said to them that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up the priest with Urim and Thummim.

66 The whole congregation together was forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty,

67 besides their servants and their maids, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred and thirty-seven; and they had two hundred and forty-five singing-men and singing-women.

68 Their horses were seven hundred and thirty-six; their mules, two hundred and forty-five;

69 the camels, four hundred and thirty-five; the asses, six thousand seven hundred and twenty.

70 And some of the chief fathers gave to the work. The Tirshatha gave to the treasure a thousand darics of gold, fifty basons, five hundred and thirty priests' coats.

71 And {some} of the chief fathers gave to the treasure of the work twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand two hundred pounds of silver.

72 And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand pounds of silver, and sixty-seven priests' coats.

73 And the priests, and the Levites, and the doorkeepers, and the singers, and {some} of the people, and the Nethinim, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities. And when the seventh month came, and the children of Israel were in their cities,

1 城墙建成后, 我就装上门扇, 委派了守门的、歌唱者和利未人,

2 我委任我的兄弟哈拿尼和营楼长哈拿尼雅, 管理耶路撒冷, 因为哈拿尼雅是个可信靠的人, 敬畏 神胜过许多人。

3 我吩咐他们说: "日上中天时, 耶路撒冷的城门也不可长久敞开; 太阳还停着未落, 守门的人站岗的时候, 也要关好门, 要派耶路撒冷的居民站岗, 一些人在哨岗, 另一些人在自己的屋前瞭望。"

4 城既宽阔又广大, 但城中的居民稀少; 房屋还没有建造起来。

5 我的 神使我的心定意, 召集贵族、官长和人民, 要照家谱登记。我找到头一次上来的人的家谱, 我找到的家谱上面写着:

6 以下这些犹大省的人, 从前巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒掳走他们, 现在他们归回耶路撒冷和犹大, 各人回到自己的城镇。

7 他们是跟所罗巴伯、耶书亚、尼希米、亚撒利雅、拉米、拿哈玛尼、末底改、必珊、米斯毗列、比革瓦伊和尼宏和巴拿一同回来的。以色列民的人数记在下面:

63 祭司中, 有哈巴雅的子孙、哈哥斯的子孙和巴西莱的子孙; 巴西莱娶了基列人巴西莱的一个女儿为妻, 所以起名叫巴西莱。

64 这些人查考族谱的记录, 却找不着, 因此他们算为不洁净, 不能作祭司。

65 省长告诉他们不可吃至圣之物, 直等到有能用乌陵和土明来决疑的祭司兴起来。

66 全体会众共有四万二千三百六十人。

67 此外, 还有他们的仆婢七千三百三十七人; 又有男女歌唱者二百四十五人。
