Nehemiah 7
1 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,
Una vez reconstruida la muralla y levantadas las puertas, nombré a los porteros, a los cantores y a los levitas.
2 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.
Puse a mi hermano Hanani a cargo de Jerusalén, junto con Hananías, el comandante de la fortaleza, porque era un hombre honesto que respetaba a Dios más que muchos otros.
3 And I said to them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun shall be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar them: and appoint soldiers of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be opposite his house.
Les dije: “No permitan que se abran las puertas de Jerusalén hasta que el sol esté caliente, y asegúrate de que los guardias cierren y echen el cerrojo a las puertas mientras estén de servicio. Nombra a algunos de los habitantes de Jerusalén como guardias, para que estén en sus puestos, frente a sus propias casas”.
4 Now the city was large and great: but the people in it were few, and the houses were not built.
En aquellos tiempos la ciudad era grande y con mucho espacio, pero no había mucha gente en ella, y las casas no habían sido reconstruidas.
5 And my God put into my heart to gather the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a family record of the genealogy of them who came up at the first, and found written in it,
Mi Dios me animó a que todos -los nobles, los funcionarios y el pueblo- vinieran a registrarse según su genealogía familiar. Encontré el registro genealógico de los que habían regresado primero. Esto es lo que descubrí escrito allí.
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 came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one to his city;
Esta es una lista de la gente de la provincia que regresó del cautiverio. Estos eran los exiliados que habían sido llevados a Babilonia por el rey Nabucodonosor. Regresaron a Jerusalén y a Judá, a sus ciudades de origen.
