1 N ow 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,

وَبَعْدَ أنْ أُعِيدَ بِناءُ السُّورِ، وَثُبِّتَتِ الأبْوابُ فِي مَكانِها، تَمَّ تَعيِينُ حُرّاسٍ لِلأبوابِ، وَمُرَنِّمِينَ وَلاوِيِّينَ لِلقِيامِ بِمَهَمّاتِهِمْ.

2 t hat I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the castle, charge over Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.

ثُمَّ جَعَلْتُ أخِي حَنانِيَ مَسؤُولاً عَنْ مَدِينَةِ القُدسِ، لِأنَّ حَنانِيَ كانَ أمِيناً وَيَخافُ اللهَ أكثَرَ مِنْ مُعْظَمِ النّاسِ. وَعَيَّنْتُ حَنَنْيا رَئِيساً لِلحِصْنِ.

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

وَقُلْتُ لَهُما: «يَنْبَغِي أنْ تُفْتَحَ أبْوابُ القُدسِ بَعْدَ ساعاتٍ مِنْ شُرُوقِ الشَّمْسِ، وَيَنْبَغِي أنْ تُغلَقَ قَبلَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ. ضَعا حُرّاساً مِنْ سُكّانِ القُدْسِ، ضَعا بَعْضاً عِندَ نِقاطِ الحِراسَةِ، وَبَعْضاً أمامَ بُيُوتِهِمْ.»

4 N ow the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.

كانَتِ المَدِينَةُ مُمتَدَّةً وَكَبِيرَةً، لَكِنَّ النّاسَ الَّذِينَ يَسكُنُونَها قَلِيلُونَ، لِأنَّهُ لَمْ يَتِمَّ بِناءُ عَدَدٍ كافٍ مِنَ البُيُوتِ ثانِيَةً. قائِمَةُ العَأئِدِين

5 A nd my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found the book of the genealogy of them that came up at the first, and I found written therein:

وَدَفَعَنِي إلَهِي إلَى جَمْعِ الأشْرافِ وَالمَسؤُولِينَ وَعامَّةِ النّاسِ مِنْ أجلِ تَسجِيلِهِمْ حَسَبَ عائِلاتِهِمْ. فَوَجَدْتُ سِجِلّاتٍ لِلعائِلاتِ الَّتِي عادَتْ مِنَ السَّبْيِ أوَّلاً. وَوَجَدْتُ مَكتُوباً فِيها:

6 T hese 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 that returned unto Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his city;

هَذِهِ هِيَ أسماءُ سُكّانِ المِنطَقَةِ الَّذِينَ عادُوا مِنَ السَّبْيِ، الَّذِينَ كانَ نَبُوخَذْناصَّرُ مَلِكُ بابِلَ قَدْ سَباهُمْ، فَعادُوا إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ وَيَهُوذا، كُلُّ واحِدٍ إلَى مَدِينَتِهِ.

68 T heir horses were seven hundred thirty and six; their mules, two hundred forty and five;

وَكانَ لَدَيْهِمْ سَبْعُ مِئَةٍ وَسِتَّةٌ وَثَلاثُونَ حِصانا، وَمِئَتانِ وَخَمْسَةٌ وَأرْبَعُونَ بَغلاً،

70 A nd some from among the heads of fathers' houses gave unto the work. The governor gave to the treasury a thousand darics of gold, fifty basins, five hundred and thirty priests' garments.

وَقَدْ قَدَّمَ بَعْضُ رُؤَساءِ العائِلاتِ مِنْ مالِهِمْ لِلإنفاقِ عَلَى إعادَةِ بِناءِ الهَيْكَلِ. فَقَدْ قَدَّمَ الوالِي لِلخَزْنَةِ ألْفَ دِرْهَمٍ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ، وَخَمْسِينَ طاساً لِلاغْتِسالِ، وَخَمْسَ مِئَةٍ وَثَلاثِينَ ثُوباً للْكَهَنَةِ.

71 A nd some of the heads of fathers' houses gave into the treasury of the work twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand and two hundred pounds of silver.

وَقَدَّمَ رُؤَساءُ العائِلاتِ عِشرِينَ ألفَ دِرْهَمٍ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ، وَألفينِ وِمِئتَي رَطلٍ مِنَ الفِضَّةِ.

72 A nd that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand pounds of silver, and threescore and seven priests' garments.

وَقَدَّمَ بَقِيَّةُ الشَّعبِ عِشرِينَ ألفَ دِرْهَمٍ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ، وَألفي رَطلٍ مِنَ الفِضَّةِ، وَسَبعَةً وَسِتِّينَ ثَوْباً لِلكَهَنَةِ.

73 S o the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinim, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities. And when the seventh month was come, the children of Israel were in their cities.

وَأقامَ الكَهَنَةُ وَاللّاوِيُّونَ وَبَعضُ الشَّعبِ فِي مُدُنِهِمْ مَعَ المُغَنِّينَ وَحُرّاسِ الأبْوابِ وَخُدّامِ الهَيْكَلِ. وَسَكَنَ جَمِيعُ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ فِي مُدُنِهِمْ. فَفِي الشَهْرِ السَّابِعِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ، كانَ قَدِ اسْتَقَرَّ جَمِيعُ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ فِي مُدُنِهِمْ.
