Da veggen var ferdigbygd, og jeg hadde satt opp dørene, og portvaktene, sangerne og levittene var utnevnt,

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,

overlot jeg ansvaret for Jerusalem til min bror Hanani og til Hananja, slottskommandanten, fordi han var en trofast mann og fryktet Gud mer enn mange andre.

that I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the castle, charge over Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.

Jeg sa til dem: La ikke portene i Jerusalem åpnes før solen har varmet opp dagen, og mens folkene fortsatt står på vakt, skal de stenge dørene og bolte dem: og sett vakthold blant Jerusalems innbyggere, hver på sin vakt, hver overfor sitt hus.

And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand `on guard', let them shut the doors, and bar ye them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one `to be' over against his house.

Nå var byen romslig og stor, men folket var få, og husene var ikke bygd.

Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.

Og min Gud la på hjertet mitt å samle adelen, lederne og folket, for å telle dem etter slektsregister. Og jeg fant boken med slektsregisteret over dem som først hadde vendt tilbake, og jeg fant skrevet der:

And my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found the book of the genealogy of them that came up at the first, and I found written therein:
