1Now 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, 2That 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. 3And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be over against his house. 4Now the city was large and great: but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.7.4 large: Heb. broad in spaces
5¶ And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found written therein, 6These 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 unto his city; 7Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah.

63¶ And of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai, which took one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite to wife, and was called after their name. 64These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but it was not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood. 65And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and Thummim.7.65 the Tirshatha: or, the governor
66¶ The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore, 67Beside their manservants and their maidservants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven: and they had two hundred forty and five singing men and singing women. 68Their horses, seven hundred thirty and six: their mules, two hundred forty and five: 69Their camels, four hundred thirty and five: six thousand seven hundred and twenty asses.

1城牆建完、門扇安好、歌樂手和利未人都已指派妥當後， 2我委任我的兄弟哈拿尼和城堡官員哈拿尼雅治理耶路撒冷，因為哈拿尼雅比眾人更忠心、敬畏上帝。 3我吩咐他們說：「要在太陽升高、天氣變熱後，才能打開耶路撒冷的城門。守衛還在值勤時要關門上閂。要指派一些耶路撒冷的居民在各自的崗位看守，一些人在自己房屋附近看守。」
流亡歸來者名單
4這城很大，但人口稀少，房屋尚未重建。 5我的上帝感動我召集貴族、官員和民眾，按照他們的家譜進行登記。我找到第一批回歸之人的家譜，上面記著：
6巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒從前把猶大省的人擄到巴比倫，這些人的子孫回到耶路撒冷和猶大後，各回本城。 7他們是與所羅巴伯、耶書亞、尼希米、亞撒利雅、拉米、拿哈瑪尼、末底改、必珊、米斯毗列、比革瓦伊、尼宏和巴拿一同回來的。

63-64祭司中哈巴雅的子孫、哈哥斯的子孫和巴西萊的子孫在譜系中找不到自己的家譜，因此他們算為不潔淨，不能做祭司。巴西萊子孫的祖先娶了基列人巴西萊的女兒為妻，因此得了這名字。 65省長吩咐他們不可吃至聖之物，直到使用烏陵和土明的祭司出現。
66回到猶大的人共四萬二千三百六十人。 67此外，他們還有七千三百三十七名男女僕婢，二百四十五名男女歌樂手， 68七百三十六匹馬，二百四十五匹騾子， 69四百三十五頭駱駝和六千七百二十頭驢。
70有些族長為工程捐出財物。省長捐出八點五公斤金子、五十個碗和五百三十件祭司禮服。 71族長捐出一百七十公斤金子和一千二百公斤銀子。 72民眾捐出一百七十公斤金子、一千一百公斤銀子和六十七件祭司禮服。
73於是，祭司、利未人、殿門守衛、歌樂手、一些民眾、殿役和全體以色列人都住在自己的城裡。到了七月，以色列人都住在各自的城裡。
