1 Depois que o muro foi reconstruído e que eu coloquei as portas no lugar, foram nomeados os porteiros, os cantores e os levitas.
2 Para governar Jerusalém encarreguei o meu irmão Hanani e, com ele, Hananias, comandante da cidade forte, pois Hananias era íntegro e temia a Deus mais do que a maioria dos homens.
3 Eu lhes disse: As portas de Jerusalém não deverão ser abertas enquanto o sol não estiver alto. E antes de deixarem o serviço, os porteiros deverão fechar e travar as portas. Também designei moradores de Jerusalém para sentinelas, alguns em postos no muro, outros em frente das suas casas.
4 Ora, a cidade era grande e espaçosa, mas havia poucos moradores, e as casas ainda não tinham sido reconstruídas.
5 Por isso o meu Deus pôs no meu coração reunir os nobres, os oficiais e todo o povo para registrá-los por famílias. Encontrei o registro genealógico dos que foram os primeiros a voltar. E assim estava registrado ali:
6 Estes são os homens da província que voltaram do exílio, os quais Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, havia levado prisioneiros. Eles voltaram para Jerusalém e para Judá, cada um para a sua própria cidade,
7 em companhia de Zorobabel, Jesua, Neemias, Azarias, Raamias, Naamani, Mardoqueu, Bilsã, Misperete, Bigvai, Neum e Baaná. E esta é a lista e o número dos que retornaram, pelos chefes de família e respectivas cidades:

57 Os descendentes dos servos de Salomão: os descendentes de Sotai, Soferete, Perida,
58 Jaala, Darcom, Gidel,
59 Sefatias, Hatil, Poquerete-Hazebaim e Amom.
60 Os servos do templo e os descendentes dos servos de Salomão 392.
61 Os que chegaram das cidades de Tel-Melá, Tel-Harsa, Querube, Adom e Imer, mas não puderam provar que suas famílias eram descendentes de Israel:
62 Os descendentes de Delaías, Tobias e Necoda 642.
63 E dentre os sacerdotes: os descendentes de Habaías, Coz e Barzilai, homem que se casou com uma filha de Barzilai, de Gileade, e que era chamado por aquele nome.
64 Esses procuraram seus registros de família, mas não conseguiram achá-los e, dessa forma, foram considerados impuros para o sacerdócio.
65 Por isso o governador determinou que eles não comessem das ofertas santíssimas enquanto não houvesse um sacerdote para consultar o Urim e o Tumim.
66 O total de todos os registrados foi 42. 360 homens,
67 além de seus 7. 337 servos e servas; havia entre eles 245 cantores e cantoras.
68 Possuíam 736 cavalos, 245 mulas,
69 435 camelos e 6. 720 jumentos.
70 Alguns dos chefes das famílias contribuíram para o trabalho. O governador deu à tesouraria oito quilos de ouro, 50 bacias e 530 vestes para os sacerdotes.
71 Alguns dos chefes das famílias deram à tesouraria, para a realização do trabalho, cento e sessenta quilos de ouro e uma tonelada e trezentos e vinte quilos de prata.
72 O total dado pelo restante do povo foi de cento e sessenta quilos de ouro, uma tonelada e duzentos quilos de prata e 67 vestes para os sacerdotes.
73 Os sacerdotes, os levitas, os porteiros, os cantores e os servidores do templo, e também alguns do povo e os demais israelitas, estabeleceram-se em suas próprias cidades. Quando chegou o sétimo mês e os israelitas tinham se instalado em suas cidades,
1 Now when the building of the wall was complete and I had put up the doors, and the door-keepers and the music-makers and the Levites had been given their places,
2 I made my brother Hanani, and Hananiah, the ruler of the tower, responsible for the government of Jerusalem: for he was a man of good faith, fearing God more than most.
3 And I said to them, Do not let the doors of Jerusalem be open till the sun is high; and while the watchmen are in their places, let the doors be shut and locked: and let the people of Jerusalem be put on watch, every one in his watch, opposite his house.
4 Now the town was wide and great: but the people in it were only a small number, and the houses had not been put up.
5 And my God put it into my heart to get together the rulers and the chiefs and the people so that they might be listed by families. And I came across a record of the names of those who came up at the first, and in it I saw these words:
6 These are the people of the divisions of the kingdom, among those who had been made prisoners by Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and taken away by him, who went back to Jerusalem and Judah, every one to his town;
7 Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:
8 The children of Parosh, two thousand, one hundred and seventy-two.
9 The children of Shephatiah, three hundred and seventy-two.
10 The children of Arah, six hundred and fifty-two.

14 The children of Zaccai, seven hundred and sixty.
15 The children of Binnui, six hundred and forty-eight.
16 The children of Bebai, six hundred and twenty-eight.
17 The children of Azgad, two thousand, three hundred and twenty-two.
18 The children of Adonikam, six hundred and sixty-seven.
19 The children of Bigvai, two thousand and sixty-seven.
20 The children of Adin, six hundred and fifty-five.

31 The men of Michmas, a hundred and twenty-two.
32 The men of Beth-el and Ai, a hundred and twenty-three.
33 The men of the other Nebo, fifty-two.
34 The children of the other Elam, a thousand, two hundred and fifty-four.
35 The children of Harim, three hundred and twenty.
36 The children of Jericho, three hundred and forty-five.
37 The children of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred and twenty-one.
38 The children of Senaah, three thousand, nine hundred and thirty.
39 The priests: the children of Jedaiah, of the family of Jeshua, nine hundred and seventy-three.
40 The children of Immer, a thousand and fifty-two.
41 The children of Pashhur, a thousand, two hundred and forty-seven.
42 The children of Harim, a thousand and seventeen.
43 The Levites: the children of Jeshua, of Kadmiel, of the children of Hodevah, seventy-four.
44 The music-makers: the children of Asaph, a hundred and forty-eight.
45 The door-keepers: the children of Shallum, the children of Ater, the children of Talmon, the children of Akkub, the children of Hatita, the children of Shobai, a hundred and thirty-eight.
46 The Nethinim: the children of Ziha, the children of Hasupha, the children of Tabbaoth,
47 The children of Keros, the children of Sia, the children of Padon,
48 The children of Lebana, the children of Hagaba, the children of Salmai,
49 The children of Hanan, the children of Giddel, the children of Gahar,
50 The children of Reaiah, the children of Rezin, the children of Nekoda,
51 The children of Gazzam, the children of Uzza, the children of Paseah,
52 The children of Besai, the children of Meunim, the children of Nephushesim,

54 The children of Bazlith, the children of Mehida, the children of Harsha,

57 The children of Solomon's servants: the children of Sotai, the children of Sophereth, the children of Perida,
58 The children of Jaala, the children of Darkon, the children of Giddel,
59 The children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil, the children of Pochereth-hazzebaim, the children of Amon.
60 All the Nethinim and the children of Solomon's servants were three hundred and ninety-two.
61 All these were the people who went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer; but because they had no knowledge of their fathers' families or offspring, it was not certain if they were Israelites:
62 The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred and forty-two.
63 And of the priests: the children of Hobaiah, the children of Hakkoz, the children of Barzillai, who was married to one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and took their name.
64 They made search for their record among the lists of families, but their names were nowhere to be seen, so they were looked on as unclean and no longer priests.
65 And the Tirshatha said that they were not to have the most holy things for their food, till a priest came to give decision by the Urim and Thummim.
66 The number of all the people together was forty-two thousand, three hundred and sixty;
67 As well as their men-servants and their women-servants, of whom there were seven thousand, three hundred and thirty-seven; and they had two hundred and forty-five men and women to make music.
68 They had seven hundred and thirty-six horses, two hundred and forty-five transport beasts;
69 Four hundred and thirty-five camels, six thousand, seven hundred and twenty asses.
70 And some of the heads of families gave money for the work. The Tirshatha gave into the store a thousand darics of gold, fifty basins, five hundred and thirty priests' robes.
71 And some of the heads of families gave into the store for the work twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand, two hundred pounds of silver.
72 And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand pounds of silver, and sixty-seven priests' robes.
73 So the priests and the Levites and the door-keepers and the music-makers and some of the people and the Nethinim, and all Israel, were living in their towns.
