1 A nd 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.

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

2 A nd 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.

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 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.

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

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, 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:

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 who came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one to 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 and thirty-six; their mules, two hundred and forty-five;

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

71 A nd of the chief fathers gave to the treasure of the work twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand 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 sixty-seven priests' coats.

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

73 A nd the priests, and the Levites, and the doorkeepers, and the singers, and 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,

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.
