Nehemiæ 7
1 postquam autem aedificatus est murus et posui valvas et recensui ianitores et cantores et Levitas
When the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites were appointed.
2 praecepi Aneni fratri meo et Ananiae principi domus de Hierusalem ipse enim quasi vir verax et timens Deum plus ceteris videbatur
Then I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, along with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, because he was a faithful man who feared God more than most.
3 et dixi eis non aperiantur portae Hierusalem usque ad calorem solis cumque adhuc adsisterent clausae portae sunt et oppilatae et posui custodes de habitatoribus Hierusalem singulos per vices suas et unumquemque contra domum suam
And I told them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot. While the guards are on duty, keep the doors shut and securely fastened. And appoint the residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some at their own homes.”
4 civitas autem erat lata nimis et grandis et populus parvus in medio eius et non erant domus aedificatae
Now the city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it, and the houses had not yet been rebuilt.
5 dedit autem Deus in corde meo et congregavi optimates et magistratus et vulgum ut recenserem eos et inveni librum census eorum qui ascenderant primum et inventum est scriptum in eo
Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials, and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had first returned, and I found the following written in it:
6 isti filii provinciae qui ascenderunt de captivitate migrantium quos transtulerat Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis et reversi sunt in Hierusalem et in Iudaeam unusquisque in civitatem suam
These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles carried away to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar its king. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town,
