Neemia 7
1 Or quando le mura furon riedificate ed io ebbi messo a posto le porte, e i portinai, i cantori e i Leviti furono stabiliti nei loro uffici,
Now when the wall was built and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
2 io detti il comando di Gerusalemme ad Hanani, mio fratello, e ad Hanania governatore del castello, perch’era un uomo fedele e timorato di Dio più di tanti altri.
I put my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the fortress, in charge of Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man and feared God above many.
3 E dissi loro: “Le porte di Gerusalemme non s’aprano finché il sole scotti; e mentre le guardie saranno ancora al loro posto, si chiudano e si sbarrino le porte; e si stabiliscano per far la guardia, gli abitanti di Gerusalemme, ciascuno al suo turno e ciascuno davanti alla propria casa”.
I said to them, “Don’t let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they stand guard, let them shut the doors, and you bar them; and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, everyone in his watch, with everyone near his house.”
4 Or la città era spaziosa e grande; ma dentro v’era poca gente, e non vi s’eran fabbricate case.
Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not built.
5 E il mio Dio mi mise in cuore di radunare i notabili, i magistrati e il popolo, per farne il censimento. E trovai il registro genealogico di quelli ch’eran tornati dall’esilio la prima volta, e vi trovai scritto quanto segue:
My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be listed by genealogy. I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found this written in it:
6 Questi son quei della provincia che tornarono dalla cattività; quelli che Nebucadnetsar, re di Babilonia, avea menati in cattività, e che tornarono a Gerusalemme e in Giuda, ciascuno nella sua città.
These are the children of the province who went up out of the captivity of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, everyone to his city,
